Paper's Title:

Abstract:

The present study is dealt with an appropriate mathematical model of the arotic bifurcation in the presence of constrictions using which the physiological flow field is analized. The geometry of the bifurcated arterial segment having constrictions in both the parent and its daughter arterial lumen frequently occurring in the diseased arteries causing malfunction of the cardiovascular system , is formed mathematically with the introduction of appropriate curvatures at the lateral junctions and the flow divider. The flowing blood contained in the stenosed bifurcated artery is treated to be Newtonian and the flow is considered to be two dimensional. The motion of the arterial wall and its effect on local fluid mechanics is not ruled out from the present pursuit. The flow analysis applies the time-dependent, two-dimensional incompressible nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations for Newtonian fluid. The flow field can be obtained primarily following the radial coordinate transformation and using the appropriate boundary conditions and finally adopting a suitable finite difference scheme numerically. The influences of the arterial wall distensibility and the presence of stenosis on the flow field, the flow rate and the wall shear stresses are quantified in order to indicate the susceptibility to atherosclerotic lesions and thereby to validate the applicability of the present theoretical model.

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.

E-mail: sfrom@unomaha.edu

Abstract:

In this paper, some new generalizations of Jensen's inequality are presented. In particular, upper and lower bounds for the Jensen gap are given and compared analytically and numerically to previously published bounds for both the discrete and continuous Jensen's inequality cases. The new bounds compare favorably to previously proposed bounds. A new method based on a series of locally linear interpolations is given and is the basis for most of the bounds given in this paper. The wide applicability of this method will be demonstrated. As by-products of this method, we shall obtain some new Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for functions which are 3-convex or 3-concave. The new method works to obtain bounds for the Jensen gap for non-convex functions as well, provided one or two derivatives of the nonlinear function are continuous. The mean residual life function of applied probability and reliability theory plays a prominent role in construction of bounds for the Jensen gap. We also present an exact integral representation for the Jensen gap in the continuous case. We briefly discuss some inequalities for other types of convexity, such as convexity in the geometric mean, and briefly discuss applications to reliability theory.

Abstract:

In this paper we survey some recent results obtained by the author in providing various bounds for the celebrated f-divergence measure for various classes of functions f. Several techniques including inequalities of Jensen and Slater types for convex functions are employed. Bounds in terms of Kullback-Leibler Distance, Hellinger Discrimination and Varation distance are provided. Approximations of the f-divergence measure by the use of the celebrated Ostrowski and Trapezoid inequalities are obtained. More accurate approximation formulae that make use of Taylor's expansion with integral remainder are also surveyed. A comprehensive list of recent papers by several authors related this important concept in information theory is also included as an appendix to the main text.

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:

The usual ordering ``≤" on R is a total ordering, that is, for any two real numbers in R, we can determine their order without difficulty. However, for any two closed intervals in R, there is not a natural ordering among the set of all closed intervals in R. Several methods have been developed to compare two intervals. In this paper, we define the μ-ordering which is a new method for ordering closed intervals.

Abstract:

In this work, we seek the approximate solution of linear integral equations by truncation Euler series approximation. After substituting the Euler expansions for the given functions of the equation and the unknown one, the equation reduces to a linear system, the solution of this latter gives the Euler coefficients and thereafter the solution of the equation. The convergence and the error analysis of this method are discussed. Finally, we compare our numerical results by others.

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.

On an Autocorrection Phenomenon of the Eckhoff Interpolation

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:

The study of optimization methods on manifolds has emerged as an immensely significant topic in mathematics due its ubiquitous applicability as well as various computational advantages associated with it. Motivated by this fact, the present article is devoted to the study of a class of constrained multiobjective programming problems (MOPP) in the framework of Hadamard manifolds. We present the generalized Guignard constraint qualification (GGCQ) in the framework of Hadamard manifolds for (MOPP). Employing (GGCQ), we derive Karush-Kuhn-Tucker type necessary optimality criteria for (MOPP). Moreover, we present several other constraint qualifications (CQs) on Hadamard manifolds, namely, Abadie's CQ, generalized Abadie's CQ, Cottle-type CQ, Slater-type CQ, linear CQ, linear objective CQ and Mangasarian-Fromovitz CQ. Further, we establish various relations between these constraint qualifications. In particular, we show that these constraint qualifications, in turn, become sufficient conditions ensuring that (GGCQ) is satisfied.

In the case when E=[a,b]⊂ (-1,1) and μ satisfies the condition dμ/dx>0 a.e. on E, we investigate asymptotic behavior of singular numbers σkn,n of the Hankel matrix Dn, where kn/n→θ∈[0,1] as n→∞. Moreover, we obtain asymptotics of the Kolmogorov, Gelfand and linear k-widths, k=kn, of the unit ball An,2 of Pn∩L2(Γ) in the space L2(μ,E), where Γ={z:|z|=1} and Pn is the class of all polynomials of the degree at most n.

Abstract:

Suppose one is given noisy data of a discontinuous piecewise-smooth function along with a bound on its second derivative. The locations of the points of discontinuity of f and their jump sizes are not assumed known, but are instead retrieved stably from the noisy data. The novelty of this paper is a numerical method that allows one to locate some of these points of discontinuity with an accuracy that can be made arbitrarily small.

Abstract:

In this paper we are interested in polynomial interpolation of irregular functions namely those elements of L2(R,μ) for μ a given probability measure. This is of course doesn't make any sense unless for L2 functions that, at least, admit a continuous version. To characterize those functions we have, first, constructed, in an abstract fashion, a chain of Sobolev like subspaces of a given Hilbert space H0. Then we have proved that the chain of Sobolev like subspaces controls the existence of a continuous version for L2 functions and gives a pointwise polynomial approximation with a quite accurate error estimation.

E-mail: hkweyunga@kab.ac.ug

Abstract:

The recurrent outbreaks of ebola in Africa present global health challenges. Ebola is a severe, very fatal disease with case fatality rates of up to 90%. In this paper, a theoretical deterministic model for ebola epidemic with quarantine of infectives is proposed and analyzed. The model exhibits two equilibria; the disease free and endemic equilibrium points. The basic reproduction number, R0, which is the main threshold, is obtained and the stability of the equilibrium points established. Using parameter values drawn from the 2014 West Africa ebola outbreak, a numerical simulation of the model is carried out. It is found that the dynamics of the model are completely determined by R0 and that a quarantine success rate of at least 70% is sufficient to contain the disease outbreak.

Abstract:

In this paper at first a brief history of mathematical models is presented with the aim to clarify the reliability of stochastic models over deterministic models. Next, the necessary background about random variables and stochastic processes, especially Markov chains and the entropy are introduced. After that, entropy of SIR stochastic models is computed and it is proven that an epidemic will disappear after a long time. Entropy of a stochastic mathematical model determines the average uncertainty about the outcome of that random experiment. At the end, we introduce a chain binomial epidemic model and compute its entropy, which is then compared with the DTMC SIR epidemic model to show which one is nearer to reality.

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce a new three steps iterative process called Jungck-AM iterative process and show that the proposed iterative process can be used to approximate fixed points of Jungck-contractive type mappings and Jungck-Suzuki type mappings. In addition, we establish some strong and Δ-convergence results for the approximation of fixed points of Jungck-Suzuki type mappings in the frame work of uniformly convex hyperbolic space. Furthermore, we show that the newly proposed iterative process has a better rate of convergence compare to the Jungck-Noor, Jungck-SP, Jungck-CR and some existing iterative processes in the literature. Finally, stability, data dependency results for Jungck-AM iterative process is established and we present an analytical proof and numerical examples to validate our claim.

Abstract:

This paper considers a combined form of the Sumudu transform with the modified homotopy perturbation method (MHPM) to find approximate and analytical solutions for nonlinear two point boundary value problems. This method is called the modified Sumudu transform homotopy perturbation method (MSTHPM). The suggested technique avoids the round-off errors and finds the solution without any restrictive assumptions or discretization. We will introduce an appropriate initial approximation and furthermore, the residual error will be canceled in some points of the interval (RECP). Only a first order approximation of MSTHPM will be required, as compared to STHPM, which needs more iterations for the same cases of study. After comparing figures between approximate, MSTHPM, STHPM and numerical solutions, it is found through the solutions we have obtained that they are highly accurate, indicating that the MSTHPM is very effective, simple and can be used to solve other types of nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs).

We build upon such results using an integration technique that we apply to ``convert'' a given evaluation for such a series into an evaluation for a corresponding series involving squared harmonic numbers.

Abstract:

Let E be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real Banach space with dual space E*. Let {Ti}i=1 be a family of J-nonexpansive maps, where, for each i,~Ti maps E to 2E*. A new class of maps, J-nonexpansive maps from E to E*, an analogue of nonexpansive self maps of E, is introduced. Assuming that the set of common J-fixed points of {Ti}i=1 is nonempty, an iterative scheme is constructed and proved to converge strongly to a point x* in n=1FJTi. This result is then applied, in the case that E is a real Hilbert space to obtain a strong convergence theorem for approximation of a common fixed point for an infinite family of nonexpansive maps, assuming existences. The theorem obtained is compared with some important results in the literature. Finally, the technique of proof is also of independent interest.

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce some new implicit Kirk-type iterative schemes in generalized convex metric spaces in order to approximate fixed points for general class of quasi-contractive type operators. The strong convergence, T-stability, equivalency, data dependence and convergence rate of these results were explored. The iterative schemes are faster and better, in term of speed of convergence, than their corresponding results in the literature. These results also improve and generalize several existing iterative schemes in the literature and they provide analogues of the corresponding results of other spaces, namely: normed spaces, CAT(0) spaces and so on.

Abstract:

The main aim of this paper is to introduce a stochastic version of multistep type iterative scheme called a modified random implicit-Kirk multistep iterative scheme and prove strong convergence and stability results for a class of generalized contractive-type random operators. The rate of convergence of the random iterative schemes are also examined through an example. The results show that our new random implicit kirk multistep scheme perform better than other implicit iterative schemes in terms of convergence and thus have good potentials for further applications in equilibrium problems in computer science, physics and economics.

Abstract:

An increase of pressure in the structure of cochlea may cause a hearing loss. In this paper, we established the relationship between the fluid pressure and the amplitude of displacement of Basilar Membrane to clarify the mechanisms of hearing loss caused by increasing of this pressure. So, a mathematical cochlear model was formulated using finite difference method in order to explain and demonstrate this malfunction in passive model. Numerical simulations may be considered as helpful tools which may extend and complete the understanding of a cochlea dysfunction.

Abstract:

This paper gives upper and lower bounds on the gap in Jensen's inequality, i.e., the difference between the expected value of a function of a random variable and the value of the function at the expected value of the random variable. The bounds depend only on growth properties of the function and specific moments of the random variable. The bounds are particularly useful for distributions that are concentrated around the mean, a commonly occurring scenario such as the average of i.i.d. samples and in statistical mechanics.

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.

Abstract:

A Finsler manifold is a differential manifold together with a Finsler metric, in this paper we construct a new class of Finsler metric affine manifolds on bilevel semivectorial with optimization problems. The first steps for this purpose involve the study of bilevel optimization on affine manifolds. The bilevel programming problem can be viewed as a static version of the noncooperative, two-person game which was introduced in the context of unbalanced economic markets. Bilevel optimization is a special kind of optimization where one problem is embedded within another.

Abstract:

To find the steady state probability vector of homogenous linear system π Q=0 of stochastic rate matrix Q, generalized triangular and symmetric (GTS) splitting method is presented. Convergence analysis and choice of parameters are given when the regularized matrix A=QT+ε I of the regularized linear system Ax=b is positive definite. Analysis shows that the iterative solution of GTS method converges unconditionally to the unique solution of the regularized linear system. From the numerical results, it is clear that the solution of proposed method converges rapidly when compared to the existing methods.

Abstract:

Stocks are instruments with high returns but also have increased risks. One way to overcome this risk is to form a stock portfolio. This study observed 30 sharia stocks listed on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) and 28 non-shariah stocks listed on the Kompas 100 Index from March 2020 to September 2022. The data used is the daily closing price of stocks, the number of stock dividends, and the daily closing price of the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) from 3rd March 2020, to 31st August 2022. In addition, interest rate of Bank Indonesia Certificate (SBI) is used as risk-free rate. This study aims to optimize the sharia and non-sharia stocks portfolio using the Single Index Model (SIM), which will then be evaluated using the Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen ratio. The result is that the optimal portfolio of sharia stocks have better performance than the optimal portfolio of non-sharia stocks based on the Treynor ratio. Meanwhile, the optimal portfolio of non-sharia stocks have better performance than the optimal portfolio of sharia stocks based on the Sharpe and Jensen ratio.

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.

In this paper we prove the following theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact convex set in a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector space, D be the set of its extremal points and F,T: XX two Kakutani maps; if for each nonempty finite subset A of D and for any x ∈ coA, F (x) coA ≠ Ø, then F and T have a coincidence point. The proof of this theorem is given first in the case when X is a simplex, then when X is a polytope and finally in the general case. Several reformulations of this result are given in the last part of the paper.

Abstract:

We introduce a new iterative method for approximating a locally unique solution of variational inclusions in Banach spaces by using generalized divided differences of the first order. This method extends a method considered by Traub  (in the scalar case) and by Potra  (in the Banach spaces case) for solving nonlinear equations to variational inclusions. An existence-convergence theorem and a radius of convergence are given under some conditions on divided differences operator and Lipschitz-like continuity property of set-valued mappings. The R-order of the method is equal to the unique positive root of a certain cubic equation, which is $1.839..., and as such it compares favorably to related methods such as the Secant method which is only of order $1.618....

Abstract:

The adjacent configurations of two-dimensional magnetic null point centers are analyzed by an immediate examination about the null. The configurations are classified as either potential or non-potential. By then the non-potential cases are subdivided into three cases depending upon whether the component of current is less than, equal to or greater than a threshold current. In addition the essential structure of reconnection in 2D is examined. It unfolds that the manner by which the magnetic flux is rebuilt. In this paper, we center on the ramifications of kinematic arrangements; that is, we fathom just Maxwell's conditions and a resistive Ohm's law.

Abstract:

In this paper, classes of integral and integro-differential equations are solved using a modified differential transform method. This proposed technique is based on differential transform method (DTM), Laplace transform (LT) procedure and Pad\'{e} approximants (PA). The proposed method which gives a good approximation for the true solution in a large region is referred to modified differential transform method (MDTM). An algorithm was developed to illustrate the flow of the proposed method. Some numerical problems are presented to check the applicability of the proposed scheme and the obtained results from the computations are compared with other existing methods to illustrates its efficiency. Numerical results have shown that the proposed MDTM method is promising compared to other existing methods for solving integral and integro-differential equations.

Abstract:

In this paper we are interested in the numerical approximation of a two-dimensional solute transport equation in heterogeneous porous media having periodic structures. It is a class of problems which has been the subject of various works in the literature, where different methods are proposed for the determination of the so-called homogenized problem. We are interested in this paper, in the direct resolution of the problem, and we use the method of lines with a finite volume approach to discretize this equation. This discretization leads to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) that we discretize by the Euler implicit scheme. Numerical experiments comparing the obtained solution and the homogenized problem solution are presented. They show that the precision and robustness of this method depend on the ratio between, the mesh size and the parameter involved in the periodic homogenization.

Abstract:

In this paper we consider the orthogonal collocation on finite elements (OCFE) method using quintic Hermite (second degree smooth) basis functions and use it to solve partial differential equations (PDEs). The method is particularly tailored to solve third order BVPS and PDEs and to handle their special solutions such as travelling waves and solitons, which typically is the case in the KdV equation. The use of quintic polynomials and collocation using Gauss points yields a stable high order superconvergent method. OCFE using quintic Hermite basis is optimal since it is computationally more efficient than collocation methods using (first degree smooth) piecewise-polynomials and more accurate than the (third degree smooth) B-splines basis. Various computational simulations are presented to demonstrate the computational efficiency and versatility of the OCFE method.

E-mail: taofeek.wahab@kwasu.edu.ng

Abstract:

This paper considers two independent general class of nonlinear contractive maps to study the existence properties of nonlinear operators with prior degenerate. The existence properties are proved in the framework of approximate fixed points with the imposition of the general class of contractive conditions in metrical convex spaces without emphasis on completeness or compactness. For computational purposes, the performance estimates and the sensitivity dependence of these conditions are obtained for the Picard operator. Practical examples are also considered to justify the validity of the conditions. The results ensure no term is lost in the operators with prior degenerate and the conditions are strictly larger class when compare with others in the literature.

Abstract:

In this work, the problem of a potential and two-dimensional flow with a free surface of an incompressible, irrotational and inviscid fluid of a jet in front an inclined wall is considered, where γ is the inclination angle with the horizontal. The shape of the free surface is presented by curves which are found numerically by the series truncation method. This technique is based on the conformal transformations, resulting with the surface tension effect T with the boundary conditions on the free surfaces given by Bernoulli's equation. The found results are dependant on parameters which are: the Weber's number α and the angle γ. For each Weber's number value, only one solution is specified and some shapes of free surfaces of the jet are illustrated.

Abstract:

The primary objective of this work is to study higher order compact finite difference schemes for finding the numerical solution of convection-diffusion equations which are widely used in engineering applications. The first part of this work is concerned with a higher order exponential scheme for solving unsteady one dimensional linear convection-diffusion equation. The scheme is set up with a fourth order compact exponential discretization for space and cubic $C^1$-spline collocation method for time. The scheme achieves fourth order accuracy in both temporal and spatial variables and is proved to be unconditionally stable. The second part explores the utility of a sixth order compact finite difference scheme in space and Huta's improved sixth order Runge-Kutta scheme in time combined to find the numerical solution of one dimensional nonlinear convection-diffusion equations. Numerical experiments are carried out with Burgers' equation to demonstrate the accuracy of the new scheme which is sixth order in both space and time. Also a sixth order in space predictor-corrector method is proposed. A comparative study is performed of the proposed schemes with existing predictor-corrector method. The investigation of computational order of convergence is presented.

Abstract:

In this paper, we are interested in the Finite Volume approximation of a second-order two-dimensional elliptic equation in heterogeneous porous medium with a periodic structure. The equation's coefficients are therefore discontinuous and highly oscillating. This class of problems has been extensively studied in the literature, where various methods proposed for determining the so-called homogenized problem. What we are particularly interested in is the direct numerical approximation of the problem, which has received little attention in the literature. We use the cell-centered finite volume approach for this purpose. Error estimates are established, and numerical simulations are conducted for both the isotropic and anisotropic media cases. The obtained solution is compared to the homogenized solution, and the results show that this approach provides an adequate approximation of the exact solution.

Abstract:

We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions for an integro-differential problem which arises in the theory of viscoelasticity. It is proved that solutions go to rest in an exponential manner under new assumptions on the relaxation function in the memory term. In particular, we consider a new family of kernels which are not necessarily decreasing.

Multivalued Equilibrium Problems with Trifunction

Author(s):

noor@ece.ac.ae

Abstract:

In this paper, we use the auxiliary principle technique to suggest some new classes of iterative algorithms for solving multivalued equilibrium problems with trifunction. The convergence of the proposed methods either requires partially relaxed strongly monotonicity or pseudomonotonicity. As special cases, we obtain a number of known and new results for solving various classes of equilibrium and variational inequality problems. Since multivalued equilibrium problems with trifunction include equilibrium, variational inequality and complementarity problems as specials cases, our results continue to hold for these problems.

Abstract:

In 1983 Skof [24] was the first author to solve the Ulam problem for additive mappings on a restricted domain. In 1998 Jung [14] investigated the Hyers-Ulam stability of additive and quadratic mappings on restricted domains. In this paper we improve the bounds and thus the results obtained by Jung [14], in 1998 and by the author [21], in 2002. Besides we establish new theorems about the Ulam stability of mixed type functional equations on restricted domains. Finally, we apply our recent results to the asymptotic behavior of functional equations of different types.

Positive Solutions of Evolution Operator Equations

Author(s):

Radu Precup

Department of Applied Mathematics,
Babes-Bolyai University,
Cluj, Romania

Abstract:

Existence and localization results are derived from Krasnoselskii’s compressionexpansion fixed point theorem in cones, for operator equations in spaces of continuous functions from a compact real interval to an abstract space. The main idea, first used in [12], is to handle two equivalent operator forms of the equation, one of fixed point type giving the operator to which Krasnoselskii’s theorem applies and an other one of coincidence type which is used to localize a positive solution in a shell. An application is presented for a boundary value problem associated to a fourth order partial differential equation on a rectangular domain.

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of equilibrium problems, known as multivalued hemiequilibrium problems. The auxiliary principle technique is used to suggest and analyze some new classes of iterative algorithms for solving multivalued hemiequilibrium problems. The convergence of the proposed methods either requires partially relaxed strongly monotonicity or pseudomonotonicity. As special cases, we obtain a number of known and new results for solving various classes of equilibrium and variational inequality problems. Since multivalued hemiequilibrium problems include hemiequilibrium, hemivariational inequalities, variational inequalities and complementarity problems as specials cases, our results still hold for these problems.

Abstract:

It is well known that the mixed quasivariational inequalities are equivalent to the fixed point problems. We use this equivalent alternative formulation to construct some merit functions for mixed quasivariational inequalities and obtain error bounds under some conditions. Since mixed quasivariational inequalities include the classical variational inequalities and the complementarity problems as special cases, our results continue to hold for these problems.

Abstract:

In this paper, we study further the generalized inverse of a matrix A over an integral domain. We give firstly some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the generalized inverse , an explicit expression for the elements of the generalized inverse and an explicit expression for the generalized inverse , which reduces to the {1} inverse. Secondly, we verify that the group inverse, the Drazin inverse, the Moore-Penrose inverse and the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse are identical with the generalized inverse for an appropriate matrix G, respectively, and then we unify the conditions for the existence and the expression for the elements of the weighted Moore-Penrose inverse, the Moore-Penrose inverse, the Drazin inverse and the group inverse over an integral domain. Thirdly, as a simple application, we give the relation between some rank equation and the existence of the generalized inverse , and a method to compute the generalized inverse . Finally, we give an example of evaluating the elements of without calculating .

Abstract:

In this paper three different stable methods for solving numerically deconvolution problems with noise are studied. The methods examined are the variational regularization method, the dynamical systems method, and the iterative regularized processes. Gravity surveying problem with noise is studied as a model problem. The results obtained by these methods are compared to the exact solution for the model problem. It is found that these three methods are highly stable methods and always converge to the solution even for large size models. The relative higher accuracy is obtained by using the iterative regularized processes.

Abstract:

Based on a regularized Volterra equation, two different approaches for numerical differentiation are considered. The first approach consists of solving a regularized Volterra equation while the second approach is based on solving a disretized version of the regularized Volterra equation. Numerical experiments show that these methods are efficient and compete favorably with the variational regularization method for stable calculating the derivatives of noisy functions.

Abstract:

We improve the mesh independence principle [1] which states that when Newton's method is applied to an equation on a Banach space as well as to their finite--dimensional discretization there is a difference of at most one between the number of steps required by the two processes to converge to within a given error tolerance. Here using a combination of Lipschitz and center Lipschitz continuity assumptions instead of just Lipschitz conditions we show that the minimum number of steps required can be at least as small as in earlier works. Some numerical examples are provided whereas our results compare favorably with earlier ones.

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.

Demimartingales and demisubmartingales introduced by Newman and

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:

This paper deals with Szegö type limits for multiplication operators on L2 (R) with respect to Haar orthonormal basis. Similar studies have been carried out by Morrison for multiplication operators Tf using Walsh System and Legendre polynomials [14]. Unlike the Walsh and Fourier basis functions, the Haar basis functions are local in nature. It is observed that Szegö type limit exist for a class of multiplication operators Tf , f∈ L (R) with respect to Haar (wavelet) system with appropriate ordering. More general classes of orderings of Haar system are identified for which the Szegö type limit exist for certain classes of multiplication operators. Some illustrative examples are also provided.

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.

A One-Line Derivation of the Euler and Ostrogradski Equations

Author(s):

ola@stanford.edu

Abstract:

At the very heart of major results of classical physics, the Euler and Ostrogradski equations have apparently no intuitive interpretation. In this paper we show that this is not so. Relying on Euler's initial geometric approach, we show that they can be obtained through a direct reasoning that does not imply any calculation. The intuitive approach we suggest offers two benefits: it gives immediate significance to these fundamental second-order non-linear differential equations; and second, it allows to obtain a property of the calculus of variations that does not seem to have been uncovered until now: the Euler and Ostrogradski equations can be derived not necessarily by giving a variation to the optimal function -- as is always done; one could equally well start by giving a variation to their derivative(s).

Author(s):

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:

By a partial dynamical system, we mean a triple containing a C*-algebra A, a discrete group G and a partial action of G on A. There are two C*--algebras associated to a given partial dynamical system. These are nothing but the certain C*-completions of a Banach *-algebra. In constructing such a Banach *-algebra, usually, a tedious limit process is used to apply. In this paper, we prove some theorems in this context without any limit process.

Abstract:

We offer an intuitive explanation of the end-point and transversality conditions that complement the Euler equation in the calculus of variations. Our reasoning is based upon the fact that any variation given to an optimal function must entail a zero net gain to the functional, all consequences of implied changes in its derivative being fully taken into account.

Abstract:

We prove existence of weak solutions of stochastic Navier-Stokes equations in R2 which do not satisfy the coercivity condition. The equations are formally derived from the critical point of some variational problem defined on the space of volume preserving diffeomorphisms in R2. Since the domain of our equation is unbounded, it is more difficult to get tightness of approximating sequences of solutions in comparison with the case of a bounded domain. Our approach is based on uniform a priori estimates on the enstrophy of weak solutions of the stochastic 2D-Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions, where the periodicity is growing to infinity combined with a suitable spatial cutoff-technique.

Abstract:

In this paper, an exposition of the central concept of global analysis on a Riemannan manifold is given. We extend the theory of smooth vector fields from open subsets of Euclidean space to Riemannan manifolds. Specifically, we prove that a Riemannian manifold admits a unique solution for a system of ordinary differential equations generated by the flow of smooth tangent vectors. The idea of partial differential equations on Riemannian manifold is highlighted on the unit sphere.

Abstract:

In this paper, basic notions of von Neumann algebra and its direct analogues in the realm of groupoids and measure spaces have been considered. By recovering the action of a locally compact Lie group from a crossed product of a von Neumann algebra, other proof of one of a geometric propositions of O'Neil and an extension of it has been proposed. Also, using the advanced exploration of nilmanifolds in measure spaces and their corresponding automorphisms (Lie algebraic derivations) a different proof of an analytic theorem of Gordon and Mao has been attained. These two propositions are of the most important ones for rigidity problems of Riemannian manifolds especially 2-step nilmanifolds.

Abstract:

A mathematical model of HIV/AIDS is governed by a system of ordinary differential equations in the presence of an antiretroviral treatment (ARV). The theory of optimal control is applied to an epidemic model of HIV/AIDS which an ARV is used as a control strategy in order to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. The optimality system is derived by applying the Pontryagin's Minimum Principle. We analyze the boundedness and positivity of solutions, and an existence of the optimal control. Numerical simulations are conducted to obtain numerical solution of the optimally system.

Abstract:

In this article dynamical behavior of coupled Duffing oscillators is analyzed under a small modification. The oscillators have cubic damping instead of linear one. Although single duffing oscillator has complex dynamics, coupled duffing systems possess a much more complex structure. The dynamical behavior of the system is investigated both numerically and analytically. Numerical results indicate that the system has double scroll attractor with suitable parameter values. On the other hand, bifurcation diagrams illustrate rich behavior of the system, and it is seen that, system enters into chaos with different routes. Beside classical bifurcations, bubbling route to chaos is observed for suitable parameter settings. On the other hand, Multistability of the system is indicated with the coexisting attractors, such that under same parameter setting the system shows different periodic and chaotic attractors. Moreover, chaotic synchronization of coupled oscillators is illustrated in final section.

Abstract:

In this paper we survey some recent trace inequalities for operators in Hilbert spaces that are connected to Schwarz's, Buzano's and Kato's inequalities and the reverses of Schwarz inequality known in the literature as Cassels' inequality and Shisha-Mond's inequality. Applications for some functionals that are naturally associated to some of these inequalities and for functions of operators defined by power series are given. Further, various trace inequalities for convex functions are presented including refinements of Jensen inequality and several reverses of Jensen's inequality. Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities and the trace version of Slater's inequality are given. Some Lipschitz type inequalities are also surveyed. Examples for fundamental functions such as the power, logarithmic, resolvent and exponential functions are provided as well.

A Unifying View of Some Banach Algebras

E-mail: rkantrow@hamilton.edu

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to shed light on a unifying framework for some normed algebras and, in particular, for some Banach algebras. The focus is on linear operators T between normed algebras X and Y and specified subalgebras A of Y. When the action of T on products in X satisfies a certain operative equation, the subspace T-1(A) is stable under the multiplication of X and is readily equipped with a family of canonical submultiplicative norms. It turns out that many familiar and important spaces are encompassed under this versatile perspective, and we offer a sampling of several such. In this sense, the article presents an alternative lens through which to view a host of normed algebras. Moreover, recognition that a normed linear space conforms to this general structure provides another avenue to confirming that it is at once stable under multiplication and also outfitted with an abundance of equivalent submultiplicative norms.

On the interval (0,1], this paper considers an initial value problem for a system of n singularly perturbed differential equations with Robin initial conditions. On a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh, a computational approach based on a classical finite difference scheme is proposed. This approach is shown to be first-order convergent in the maximum norm uniformly in the perturbation parameters. The theory is illustrated by a numerical example.

Author(s):

Olivier de La Grandville

E-mail: odelagrandville@gmail.com

Abstract:

We first offer an entirely new way to derive the celebrated Euler equation of the calculus of variations. The advantage of this approach is two-fold. On the one hand, it entirely eschews the two hurdles encountered by Lagrange, which become challenging in the case of elaborate functionals: getting rid of the arbitrary character of the perturbation given to the optimal function, and demonstrating the fundamental lemma of the calculus of variations. On the other hand, it leads in a direct way to the remarkable discovery made by Robert Dorfman ( 1969) when he introduced a modified Hamiltonian, which we called a Dorfmanian (2018) to honor his memory. In turn, extending the Dorfmanian enables to obtain readily the fundamental equations of the calculus of variations for the optimization of high-order functionals, or multiple integrals.

Motivated by self-adaptive step size method, we incorporate the inertial technique to accelerate the convergence of the proposed method and establish a strong convergence of the sequence generated by the proposed algorithm. Finally, we present a numerical example to illustrate the significant performance of our method. Our results extend and improve some existing results in the literature.

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with second-order linear noncanonical delay difference equations of the form

Δ(μ(t)Δ y(t))+ p(t)y(φ(t))=0.

The authors prove new oscillation criteria by first transforming the equation into canonical form and then obtaining some new monotonic properties of the positive solutions of the transformed equation. By using a comparison with first-order delay difference equations and a generalization of a technique developed by Koplatadze, they obtain their main results. Examples illustrating the improvement over known results in the literature are presented.

Abstract:

Bi-isotropic materials, characterized by their chiral and non-reciprocal nature, present unique challenges and opportunities in scientific research, driving the development of cutting-edge applications. In this paper, we explore the influence of chirality using a newly developed framework that emphasizes the nonlinear effects arising from the magnetization vector under a strong electric field. Our research introduces a novel formulation of constitutive relations and delves into the analysis of solutions for the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, which governs pulse propagation in nonlinear bi-isotropic media. By employing the Projective Riccati Equation Method with variable dispersion and nonlinearity, we systematically derive families of solutions to the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation in chiral and non-reciprocal optical fibers. This approach provides valuable insights into the propagation of light in two polarization modes right circularly polarized (RCP) and left circularly polarized (LCP) each associated with distinct wave vectors in nonlinear bi-isotropic environments. The study presents several new exact solutions of optical solitons within these media.

Abstract:

In this research paper, we introduce a novel theory for the construction of a Riesz wavelet basis in the space L2(K), where K is a local field with positive characteristics. Our approach is two fold: firstly, we derive some essential characterizations of the scaling function associated with the structure of a Riesz MRA on a local field, and secondly, we review existing methods for constructing wavelet frames in L2(K). We also present a well elaborated example for a better comprehension of our theory. Due to mathematical convenience, we limit ourselves to the case of dyadic dilations only.
