The theorems of continuous dependence of bounded Φ-variation solutions on parameters for Kurzweil equations are established through making use of the functions of bounded Φ-variation were introduced by Musiclak and Orlicz in paper [2]. The results are essential generalization of continuous dependence of bounded variation solutions on parameters for Kurzweil equations in paper [6]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We will show in this paper that if λ is very close to 1, then can be attained, where M is a compact–manifold with boundary. This result gives a counter–example to the conjecture of de Figueiredo and Ruf in their paper titled "On an inequality by Trudinger and Moser and related elliptic equations" ( Comm. Pure. Appl. Math., 55, 135–152, 2002). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In this paper we will establish some oscillation criteria for the second-order nonlinear neutral delay dynamic equation on a time scale ; here is a quotient of odd positive integers with and real-valued positive functions defined on . To the best of our knowledge nothing is known regarding the qualitative behavior of these equations on time scales, so this paper initiates the study. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

In this paper we prove existence theorems for integro - differential equations xΔ(t) = f(t, x(t), ∫ 0 t k(t, s, x(s))Δs), x(0) = x0 t ∊ Ia = [0, a] ∩ T, a ∊ R+, where T denotes a time scale (nonempty closed subset of real numbers R), Ia is a time scale interval. Functions f, k are Carathéodory functions with values in a Banach space E and the integral is taken in the sense of Henstock-Kurzweil delta integral, which generalizes the Henstock-Kurzweil integral. Additionally, functions f and k satisfy some boundary conditions and conditions expressed in terms of measures of noncompactness. Moreover, we prove an Ambrosetti type lemma on a time scale.

Abstract: In this paper we consider the solutions of micropolar fluid equations in space dimension two with periodic boundary condition. We show that the strong solutions are analytic in time with values in an appropriate Gevrey class of function, provided that external forces and moments are time-independent and are in a Gevrey class.

In this paper, it is proved that with at most $$ O{\left( {N^{{\frac{{65}} {{66}}}} } \right)} $$ exceptions, all even positive integers up to N are expressible in the form $$ p^{2}_{2} + p^{3}_{3} + p^{4}_{4} + p^{5}_{5} $$ . This improves a recent result $$ O{\left( {N^{{\frac{{19193}} {{19200}} + \varepsilon }} } \right)} $$ due to C. Bauer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A right R–module E over a ring R is said to be maximally injective in case for any maximal right ideal m of R, every R–homomorphism f : m → E can be extended to an R–homomorphism f' : R → E. In this paper, we first construct an example to show that maximal injectivity is a proper generalization of injectivity. Then we prove that any right R–module over a left perfect ring R is maximally injective if and only if it is injective. We also give a partial affirmative answer to Faith's conjecture by further investigating the property of maximally injective rings. Finally, we get an approximation to Faith's conjecture, which asserts that every injective right R–module over any left perfect right self–injective ring R is the injective hull of a projective submodule.

In this paper, a class of global optimization problems is considered. Corresponding to each local minimizer obtained, we introduced a new modified function and construct a corresponding optimization subproblem with one constraint. Then, by applying a local search method to the one-constraint optimization subproblem and using the local minimizer as the starting point, we obtain a better local optimal solution. This process is continued iteratively. A termination rule is obtained which can serve as stopping criterion for the iterating process. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, numerical examples are solved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new method for the computation of the infimum for a large class of continuous-time H∞ optimal control problem by state feedback is presented. The main ingredients of the new method include three generalized eigenvalue problems whose coefficient matrices are from a condensed form of the given system. This condensed form is computed using only orthogonal transformations which can be implemented via a numerically stable way. The superiority of the new method over the existing one given in Chen (H∞Control and its Applications, Chapter 5. Springer: Berlin, 1997) is verified by some numerical examples.

To resist algebraic attacks, Boolean functions should possess high algebraic immunity. In 2003, Courtois and Meier showed that the algebraic immunity of an n-variable Boolean function is upper bounded by [n/2]. And then several papers studied how to find symmetric Boolean functions with maximum algebraic immunity. In this correspondence, we prove that for each odd n, there is exactly one trivially balanced n-variable symmetric Boolean function achieving the maximum algebraic immunity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
