Abstract:

An induction functor in inverse semigroup equivariant KK-theory is considered, and together with %a restriction functors certain results similar to those known from the Mackey machinery are shown. It is also verified that for any so-called E-continuous inverse semigroup its equivariant KK-theory satisfies the universal property and is a triangulated category.

Abstract:

A powerful and novel way to study Einstein's special theory of relativity and its underlying geometry, the hyperbolic geometry of Bolyai and Lobachevsky, by analogies with classical mechanics and its underlying Euclidean geometry is demonstrated. The demonstration sets the stage for the extension of the notion of barycentric coordinates in Euclidean geometry, first conceived by Möbius in 1827, into hyperbolic geometry. As an example for the application of hyperbolic barycentric coordinates, the hyperbolic midpoint of any hyperbolic segment, and the centroid and orthocenter of any hyperbolic triangle are determined.

Polyanalytic Functions on Subsets of Z[i]

Author(s):

E-mail: abtindaghighi@gmail.com

Abstract:

For positive integers q we consider the kernel of the powers Lq where L is one of three kinds of discrete analogues of the Cauchy-Riemann operator. The first two kinds are well-studied, but the third kind less so. We give motivations for further study of the third kind especially since its symmetry makes it more appealing for the cases q 2.

From an algebraic perspective it makes sense that the chosen multiplication on the kernels is compatible with the choice of pseudo-powers. We propose such multiplications together with associated pseudo-powers. We develop a proof-tool in terms of certain sets of uniqueness.

Abstract:

In 1914, F.W. Lanchester proposed several mathematical models based on differential equations to describe combat situations [34]. Since then, his work has been extensively modified to represent a variety of competitions including entire wars. Differential Lanchester type models have been studied from many angles by many authors in hundreds of papers and reports. Lanchester type models are used in the planning of optimal strategies, supply and tactics. In this paper, we will show how these models can be studied from a viability theory stand point. We will introduce the notion of winning cone and show that it is a viable cone for these models. In the last part of our paper we will use the viability theory of differential equations to study Lanchester type models from the optimal theory point of view.

Equilibria and Periodic Solutions of Projected Dynamical Systems on Sets with Corners

Abstract:

Projected dynamical systems theory represents a bridge between the static worlds of variational inequalities and equilibrium problems, and the dynamic world of ordinary differential equations. A projected dynamical system (PDS) is given by the flow of a projected differential equation, an ordinary differential equation whose trajectories are restricted to a constraint set K. Projected differential equations are defined by discontinuous vector fields and so standard differential equations theory cannot apply. The formal study of PDS began in the 90's, although some results existed in the literature since the 70's. In this paper we present a novel result regarding existence of equilibria and periodic cycles of a finite dimensional PDS on constraint sets K, whose points satisfy a corner condition. The novelty is due to proving existence of boundary equilibria without using a variational inequality approach or monotonicity type conditions.

Abstract:

By working out an appropriate technique of relations and relators and extending the ideas of the direct methods of Z. Gajda and R. Ger, we prove some generalizations of the stability theorems of D. H. Hyers, T. Aoki, Th. M. Rassias and P. Găvruţă in terms of the existence and unicity of 2-homogeneous and additive approximate selections of generalized subadditive relations of semigroups to vector relator spaces. Thus, we obtain generalizations not only of the selection theorems of Z. Gajda and R. Ger, but also those of the present author.

Abstract:

In this paper, we study vector optimization problems in partially ordered Banach spaces. We suppose that the objective mapping possesses a weakened property of lower semicontinuity and make no assumptions on the interior of the ordering cone. We derive sufficient conditions for existence of efficient solutions of the above problems and discuss the role of topological properties of the objective space. We discuss the scalarization of vector optimization problems when the objective functions are vector-valued mappings with a weakened property of lower semicontinuity. We also prove the existence of the so-called generalized efficient solutions via the scalarization process. All principal notions and assertions are illustrated by numerous examples.

Abstract:

In this paper, we prove some compact generalizations of some well-known Bernstein type inequalities concerning the maximum modulus of a polynomial and its derivative in terms of maximum modulus of a polynomial on the unit circle. Besides, an inequality for self-inversive polynomials has also been obtained, which in particular gives some known inequalities for this class of polynomials. All the inequalities obtained are sharp.

On an Autocorrection Phenomenon of the Eckhoff Interpolation

Author(s):

arnak@instmath.sci.am
 

Abstract:

The paper considers the Krylov-Lanczos and the Eckhoff interpolations of a function with a discontinuity at a known point. These interpolations are based on certain corrections associated with jumps in the first derivatives. In the Eckhoff interpolation, approximation of the exact jumps is accomplished by the solution of a system of linear equations. We show that in the regions where the 2-periodic extension of the interpolated function is smooth, the Eckhoff interpolation converges faster compared with the Krylov-Lanczos interpolation. This accelerated convergence is known as the autocorrection phenomenon. The paper presents a theoretical explanation of this phenomenon. Numerical experiments confirm theoretical estimates.

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for proving an important inequality for a contraction integral equations. The obtained inequality allows us to express our iterative algorithm using a "for loop" rather than a "while loop". The main tool used in this paper is the fixed point theorem in the Lebesgue space. Also, a numerical example shows the efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed scheme.

Abstract:

In addition to solid ground of Riemannian manifolds fundamentals, this article interviews some popular optimization methods on Riemannian manifolds. Several optimization problems can be better stated on manifolds rather than Euclidean space, such as interior point methods, which in turns based on self-concordant functions (logarithmic barrier functions). Optimization schemes like the steepest descent scheme, the Newton scheme, and others can be extended to Riemannian manifolds. This paper introduces some Riemannian and non-Riemannian schemes on manifolds.

An Algorithm to Compute Gaussian-Type Quadrature Formulae
that Integrate Polynomials and Some Spline Functions Exactly

Abstract:

It is well-known that for sufficiently smooth integrands on an interval, numerical integration can be performed stably and efficiently via the classical (polynomial) Gauss quadrature formulae. However, for many other sets of integrands these quadrature formulae do not perform well. A very natural way of avoiding this problem is to include a wide class among arbitrary functions (not necessary polynomials) to be integrated exactly. The spline functions are natural candidates for such problems. In this paper, after studying Gaussian type quadrature formulae which are exact for spline functions and which contain boundary terms involving derivatives at both end points, we present a fast algorithm for computing their nodes and weights. It is also shown, taking advantage of the close connection with ordinary Gauss quadrature formula, that the latter are computed, via eigenvalues and eigenvectors of real symmetric tridiagonal matrices. Hence a new class of quadrature formulae can then be computed directly by standard software for ordinary Gauss quadrature formula. Comparative results with classical Gauss quadrature formulae are given to illustrate the numerical performance of the approach.

Ellipses of Maximal Area and of Minimal Eccentricity Inscribed in a Convex Quadrilateral

Author(s):

Abstract:

Let Ð be a convex quadrilateral in the plane and let M1 and M2 be the midpoints of the diagonals of Ð. It is well–known that if E is an ellipse inscribed in Ð, then the center of E must lie on Z, the open line segment connecting M1 and M2 . We use a theorem of Marden relating the foci of an ellipse tangent to the lines thru the sides of a triangle and the zeros of a partial fraction expansion to prove the converse: If P lies on Z, then there is a unique ellipse with center P inscribed in Ð. This completely characterizes the locus of centers of ellipses inscribed in Ð. We also show that there is a unique ellipse of maximal area inscribed in Ð. Finally, we prove our most signifigant results: There is a unique ellipse of minimal eccentricity inscribed in Ð.

Abstract:

Compactly supported interpolatory orthogonal multiwavelet packets are introduced. Precisely, if both the multiscaling function and the corresponding multiwavelet have the same interpolatory property, then the multiwavelet packets are also interpolatory orthogonal. Thus, the coefficients of decomposition or synthesis of multiwavelet packets can be realized by sampling instead of inner products. This multiwavelet packets provide a finer decomposition of multiwavelet packets space and give a better localization.

A general theory of decision making

Frank Hansen

Department of Economics,

Studiestraede 6, DK-1455 Copenhagen K
Denmark Frank.Hansen@econ.ku.dk
URL: http://www.econ.ku.dk/okofh


Abstract:

We formulate a general theory of decision making based on a lattice of observable events, and we exhibit a large class of representations called the general model. Some of the representations are equivalent to the so called standard model in which observable events are modelled by an algebra of measurable subsets of a state space, while others are not compatible with such a description. We show that the general model collapses to the standard model, if and only if an additional axiom is satisfied. We argue that this axiom is not very natural and thus assert that the standard model may not be general enough to model all relevant phenomena in economics. Using the general model we are (as opposed to Schmeidler [16]) able to rationalize Ellsberg's paradox without the introduction of non-additive measures.

Abstract:

The notion of nuclear cone in locally convex spaces corresponds to the notion of well based cone in normed spaces. Using the bipolar theorem from locally convex spaces it is proved that every closed nuclear cone is a full nuclear cone. Thus every closed nuclear cone can be associated to a mapping from a family of continuous seminorms in the space to the topological dual of the space. The relation with Pareto efficiency is discussed.

Abstract:

We study the existence of large solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation Δu=p(x)f(u) where f is not monotonic. We prove existence, on bounded and unbounded domains, under the assumption that f is Lipschitz continuous, f(0) = 0, f(s) > 0 for s > 0 and there exists a nonnegative, nondecreasing Hölder continuous function g and a constant M such that g(s) ≤ f(s) ≤ Mg(s) for large s. The nonnegative function p is allowed to be zero on much of the domain.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to deal with nonlinear quasilogarithmic operators, which possesses the uniformly bounded commutator property on various interpolation spaces in the sense of Brudnyi-Krugljak associated with the quasi-power parameter spaces. The duality, and the domain and range spaces of these operators are under consideration. Some known inequalities for the Lebesgue integration spaces and the trace classes are carried over to the non-commutative symmetric spaces of measurable operators affiliated with a semi-finite von Neumann algebra.

multidimensionally indexed demimartingales and demisubmartingales
and prove a maximal inequality for this general class of random
variables. As a corollary we obtain a Hájek-Rényi inequality
for multidimensionally indexed associated random variables, the bound of which, when reduced to the case of single index, is sharper than the bounds already known in the literature.

Abstract:

In this paper a unified approach to the derivation of families of one
dimensional hyperbolic differential equations and boundary conditions describing
the longitudinal vibration of elastic bars is outlined. The longitudinal and
lateral displacements are expressed in the form of a power series expansion in
the lateral coordinate. Equations of motion and boundary conditions are derived
using Hamilton's variational principle. Most of the well known models in this
field fall within the frames of the proposed theory, including the classical
model, and the more elaborated models proposed by by Rayleigh, Love, Bishop,
Mindlin, Herrmann and McNiven. The exact solution is presented for the
Mindlin-Herrmann case in terms of Green functions. Finally, deductions regarding
the accuracy of the models are made by comparison with the exact
Pochhammer-Chree solution for an isotropic cylinder.

Abstract:

We provide a new theory of expected utility with subjective events modeled by a lattice of projections. This approach allows us to capture the notion of a ``small world'' as a context dependent or local state space embedded into a subjective set of events, the ``grand world''. For each situation the decision makers' subjective ``small world'' reflects the events perceived to be relevant for the act under consideration. The subjective set of events need not be representable by a classical state space. Maintaining preference axioms similar in spirit to the classical axioms, we obtain an expected utility representation which is consistent across local state spaces and separates subjective probability and utility. An added benefit is that this alternative expected utility representation allows for an intuitive distinction between risk and uncertainty.

On the Sendov Conjecture for a Root Close to the Unit Circle

Author(s):

Indraneel G. Kasmalkar

Department of Mathematics,

United States of America

E-mail: indraneelk@berkeley.edu 

Abstract:

On Sendov's conjecture, T. Chijiwa quantifies the idea stated by V. Vâjâitu and A. Zaharescu (and M. J. Miller independently), namely that if a polynomial with all roots inside the closed unit disk has a root sufficiently close to the unit circle then there is a critical point at a distance of at most one from that root. Chijiwa provides an estimate of exponential order for the required 'closeness' of the root to the unit circle so that such a critical point may exist. In this paper, we will improve this estimate to polynomial order by making major modifications and strengthening inequalities in Chijiwa's proof.

Abstract:

Let A be a Lie Banach*-algebra. For each elements (a, b) and (c, d) in A2:= A * A, by definitions

 (a, b) (c, d)= (ac, bd),
 |(a, b)|= |a|+ |b|,
(a, b)*= (a*, b*),

A2 can be considered as a Banach*-algebra. This Banach*-algebra is called a Lie Banach*-algebra whenever it is equipped with the following definitions of Lie product:

for all a, b, c, d in A. Also, if A is a Lie Banach*-algebra, then D: A2→A2 satisfying

 D ([ (a, b), (c, d)])= [ D (a, b), (c, d)]+ [(a, b), D (c, d)]

for all $a, b, c, d∈A, is a Lie derivation on A2. Furthermore, if A is a Lie Banach*-algebra, then D is called a Lie* derivation on A2 whenever D is a Lie derivation with D (a, b)*= D (a*, b*) for all a, b∈A. In this paper, we investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability of Lie Banach*-algebra homomorphisms and Lie* derivations on the Banach*-algebra A2.

This new concept is particularly efficient to determine the differential equations leading to the extremals of functionals defined by n-uple integrals, while a traditional approach would require -- in some cases repeatedly -- an extension of Green's theorem to n-space.
Our paper is dedicated to the memory of Robert Dorfman (1916 - 2002).

Abstract:

In this paper we consider a Gould type integral of real functions with respect to a compact and convex valued not necessarily additive measure. In particular we will introduce the concept of integrable multimeasure and, thanks to this notion, we will establish an exact Radon-Nikodym theorem relative to a fuzzy multisubmeasure which is new also in the finite dimensional case. Some results concerning the Gould integral are also obtained.

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) null points are available in wealth in the solar corona, and the equivalent is probably going to be valid in other astrophysical situations. On-going outcomes from sun oriented perceptions and from reproductions propose that reconnection at such 3D nulls may assume a significant job in the coronal dynamics. The properties of the torsional spine method of magnetic reconnection at 3D nulls are researched. Kinematic model are created, which incorporate the term ηJ that is spatially localised around the null, stretching out along the spine of the null. The null point is to research the impact of shifting the level of asymmetry of the null point magnetic field on the subsequent reconnection process where past examinations constantly considered a non-nonexclusive radially symmetric null. Specifically we analyse the rate of reconnection of magnetic flux at the spine of null point. Logical arrangements are determined for the enduring kinematic equation, and contrasted and the after effects of torsional spine reconnection models when the current is restricted in which the Maxwell conditions are illuminated. The geometry of the current layers inside which torsional spine reconnection happen is autonomous on the symmetry of the magnetic field. Torsional spine reconnection happens in a thin cylinder around the spine, with circular cross-segment when the fan eigenvalues are extraordinary. The short axis of the circle being along the solid field bearing. Just as it was discovered that the fundamental structure of the method of attractive reconnection considered is unaffected by changing the magnetic field symmetry, that is, the plasma flow is discovered rotational around the spine of null point. The spatiotemporal pinnacle current, and the pinnacle reconnection rate achieved, are found not to rely upon the level of asymmetry.

Abstract:

The main aim of this article is to present recent results concerning diagonal implicit multistage integration methods (DIMSIMs) with extrapolation in solving stiff problems. Implicit methods with extrapolation have been proven to be very useful in solving problems with stiff components. There are many articles written on extrapolation of Runge-Kutta methods however fewer articles on extrapolation were written for general linear methods. Passive extrapolation is more stable than active extrapolation as proven in many literature when solving stiff problems by the Runge-Kutta methods. This article takes the first step by investigating the performance of passive extrapolation for DIMSIMs type-2 methods. In the variable stepsize and order codes, order-2 and order-3 DIMSIMs with extrapolation are investigated for Van der Pol and HIRES problems. Comparisons are made with ode23 solver and the numerical experiments showed that implicit DIMSIMs with extrapolation has greater accuracy than the method itself without extrapolation and ode23.

Abstract:

We consider a mathematical model which describes the dynamic evolution of a thermo elasto viscoplastic contact problem between a body and a rigid foundation. The mechanical and thermal properties of the obstacle coating material near its surface. A variational formulation of this dynamic contact phenomenon is derived in the context of general models of thermo elasto viscoplastic materials. The displacements and temperatures of the bodies in contact are governed by the coupled system consisting of a variational inequality and a parabolic differential equation. The proof is based on a classical existence and uniqueness result on parabolic inequalities,differential equations and fixed point arguments.

Abstract:

In this paper, based on the theorem of the uniqueness of the solution of the stochastic differential equation, the convergence possibility of the Caratheodory's approximate solution was studied by approximating the unique solution. To obtain this convergence theorem, we used a Hölder condition and a weakened linear growth condition. Furthermore, The auxiliary theorems for the existence and continuity of the Caratheodory's approximate solution were investigated as a prerequisite.

Abstract:

We consider the problem of finding the optimal curve of given length linking two points in a plane such as it encloses a maximal area. We show that if the curve is not described by a single-valued function, its determination does not necessarily imply to work with a parametric representation of the curve. We show that a simpler approach is at hand -- and, who knows? -- this might well be the method Queen Dido used.

E-mail: abdellah.menasri70@gmail.com

Abstract:

In this paper, we study the Lozi map by replacing the piecewise linear term in the first equation by the function max (f(x,y);g(x,y)) such that f and g are two arbitrary functions in R2. This is a family model that allows us to study several new piecewise-smooth maps. We demonstrate that these models converge to a robust chaotic attractor and give some applications of these models in the real world.

Abstract:

A square interval matrix over R can be converted to diagonal form if certain prerequisites are satisfied. However not all square matrices can be diagonalized. As a consequence, we strive the next simplest form to which it can be reduced while retaining important properties such as eigenvalues, rank, nullity, and so on. It turns out that any real interval matrix has a Jordan Canonical Form (JCF) over E if it has n interval eigenvalues in IR. We discuss in this paper a method for computing the Jordan canonical form of an interval matrix using a new pairing technique and a new type of interval arithmetic that will make classifying and analyzing interval matrices easier and more efficient. We conclude with a numerical example that supports the theory and application of predator-prey model.
