The paper alluded to in the title contains the following striking result: Let $I$ be the unit interval and $\Delta$ the Cantor set. If $X$ is a quasi Banach space containing no copy of $c_0$ which is isomorphic to a closed subspace of a space with a basis and $C(I, X)$ is linearly homeomorphic to $C(\Delta, X)$, then $X$ is locally convex, i.e., a Banach space. It is shown that Kalton result is sharp by exhibiting non locally convex quasi Banach spaces X with a basis for which $C(I, X)$ and $C(\Delta, X)$ are isomorphic. Our examples are rather specific and actually in all cases X is isomorphic to $C(\Delta, X)$ if $K$ is a metric compactum of finite covering dimension., Comment: 4 pages

Propositions 1.1–1.3 stated below contribute to results and certain problems considered in [E-S], on the behavior of products $$\Pi^n_1(1-z^{a_j}),1\leq{a_1}...\leq{a_n}$$ integers. In the discussion below, {a1,..., an} will be either a proportional subset of {1,..., n} or a set of large arithmetic diameter.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the main result in the paper by D.Y. Gao and X. Lu [On the extrema of a nonconvex functional with double-well potential in 1D, Z. Angew. Math. Phys. (2016) 67:62]. More precisely we provide a detailed study of the problem considered in that paper, pointing out the importance of the norm on the space $C^{1}[a,b]$; because no norm (topology) is mentioned on $C^{1}[a,b]$ we look at it as being a subspace of $W^{1,p}(a,b)$ for $p\in [1,\infty]$ endowed with its usual norm. We show that the objective function has not local extrema with the mentioned constraints for $p\in [1,4)$, and has (up to an additive constant) only a local maximizer for $p=\infty$, unlike the conclusion of the main result of the discussed paper where it is mentioned that there are (up to additive constants) two local minimizers and a local maximizer. We also show that the same conclusions are valid for the similar problem treated in the preprint by X. Lu and D.Y. Gao [On the extrema of a nonconvex functional with double-well potential in higher dimensions, arXiv:1607.03995]., 12 pages; in this version we added the forgotten condition $F(x) \ne 0$ for $x\in (a,b)$ on page 3

We show that a relative entropy condition recently shown by Leger and Vasseur to imply uniqueness and stable $L^2$ dependence on initial data of Lax 1- or $n$-shock solutions of an $n\times n$ system of hyperbolic conservation laws with convex entropy implies Lopatinski stability in the sense of Majda. This means in particular that Leger and Vasseur's relative entropy condition represents a considerable improvement over the standard entropy condition of decreasing shock strength and increasing entropy along forward Hugoniot curves, which, in a recent example exhibited by Barker, Freist\"uhler and Zumbrun, was shown to fail to imply Lopatinski stability, even for systems with convex entropy. This observation bears also on the parallel question of existence, at least for small $BV$ or $H^s$ perturbations, Comment: to appear in Proceedings of the AMS

In this paper, we discuss the validity of the result of Khuangsatung and Kangtunyakarn [Existence and convergence theorem for fixed point problem of various nonlinear mappings and variational inequality problems without some assumptions, Filomat 32(1) (2018) 305–309].

The abstract results and applications presented in “Controllability of fractional neutral stochastic functional differential systems, Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 65 (2014), no. 5, 941–959, are not correct. Moreover, the class of differential control problems studied in [1] is not H-controllable.

Recently, Saleh claimed to have solved `a long standing open question' in Topology; namely, he proved that every almost continuous function is closure continuous (= $\theta$-continuous). Unfortunately, this problem was settled long time ago and even a better result is known., Comment: 2 pages, to appear in "Glasgow Math. J."

The preeminent target of present study is to reveal the speed characteristic of ongoing outbreak COVID-19 due to novel coronavirus. On January 2020, the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) detected in India, and the total statistic of cases continuously increased to 7 128 268 cases including 109 285 deceases to October 2020, where 860 601 cases are active in India. In this study, we use the Hermite wavelets basis in order to solve the COVID-19 model with time- arbitrary Caputo derivative. The discussed framework is based upon Hermite wavelets. The operational matrix incorporated with the collocation scheme is used in order to transform arbitrary-order problem into algebraic equations. The corrector scheme is also used for solving the COVID-19 model for distinct value of arbitrary order. Also, authors have investigated the various behaviors of the arbitrary-order COVID-19 system and procured developments are matched with exiting developments by various techniques. The various illustrations of susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered individuals are given for its behaviors at the various value of fractional order. In addition, the proposed model has been also supported by some numerical simulations and wavelet-based results.

Funder: John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation; doi: https://doi.org/10.13039/100005851, Funder: Einstein Visiting Fellow Program, The Rayleigh–Bénard system with stress-free boundary conditions is shown to have a global attractor in each affine space where velocity has fixed spatial average. The physical problem is shown to be equivalent to one with periodic boundary conditions and certain symmetries. This enables a Gronwall estimate on enstrophy. That estimate is then used to bound the L 2 norm of the temperature gradient on the global attractor, which, in turn, is used to find a bounding region for the attractor in the enstrophy–palinstrophy plane. All final bounds are algebraic in the viscosity and thermal diffusivity, a significant improvement over previously established estimates. The sharpness of the bounds are tested with numerical simulations.

The first symptomatic infected individuals of coronavirus (Covid-19) was confirmed in December 2020 in the city of Wuhan, China. In India, the first reported case of Covid-19 was confirmed on 30 January 2020. Today, coronavirus has been spread out all over the world. In this manuscript, we studied the coronavirus epidemic model with a true data of India by using Predictor-Corrector scheme. For the proposed model of Covid-19, the numerical and graphical simulations are performed in a framework of the new generalised Caputo sense non-integer order derivative. We analysed the existence and uniqueness of solution of the given fractional model by the definition of Chebyshev norm, Banach space, Schauder's second fixed point theorem, Arzel's-Ascoli theorem, uniform boundedness, equicontinuity and Weissinger's fixed point theorem. A new analysis of the given model with the true data is given to analyse the dynamics of the model in fractional sense. Graphical simulations show the structure of the given classes of the non-linear model with respect to the time variable. We investigated that the mentioned method is copiously strong and smooth to implement on the systems of non-linear fractional differential equation systems. The stability results for the projected algorithm is also performed with the applications of some important lemmas. The present study gives the applicability of this new generalised version of Caputo type non-integer operator in mathematical epidemiology. We compared that the fractional order results are more credible to the integer order results.

We show that bounded self-contracted curves are rectifiable in metric spaces with weak lower curvature bound in a sense we introduce in this article. This class of spaces is wide and includes, for example, finite-dimensional Alexandrov spaces of curvature bounded below and Berwald spaces of nonnegative flag curvature. (To be more precise, our condition is regarded as a strengthened doubling condition and holds also for a certain class of metric spaces with upper curvature bound.) We also provide the non-embeddability of large snowflakes into (balls in) metric spaces in the same class. We follow the strategy of the last author's previous paper based on the small rough angle condition, where spaces with upper curvature bound are considered. The results in this article show that such a strategy applies to spaces with lower curvature bound as well., Comment: A goofy mistake in formulations of Theorem 2 and 4 is fixed

Diagonal groups are one of the classes of finite primitive permutation groups occurring in the conclusion of the O'Nan-Scott theorem. Several of the other classes have been described as the automorphism groups of geometric or combinatorial structures such as affine spaces or Cartesian decompositions, but such structures for diagonal groups have not been studied in general. The main purpose of this paper is to describe and characterise such structures, which we call diagonal semilattices. Unlike the diagonal groups in the O'Nan-Scott theorem, which are defined over finite characteristically simple groups, our construction works over arbitrary groups, finite or infinite. A diagonal semilattice depends on a dimension m and a group T. For m=2, it is a Latin square, the Cayley table of T, though in fact any Latin square satisfies our combinatorial axioms. However, for m≥3, the group T emerges naturally and uniquely from the axioms. (The situation somewhat resembles projective geometry, where projective planes exist in great profusion but higher-dimensional structures are coordinatised by an algebraic object, a division ring.) A diagonal semilattice is contained in the partition lattice on a set Ω, and we provide an introduction to the calculus of partitions. Many of the concepts and constructions come from experimental design in statistics. We also determine when a diagonal group can be primitive, or quasiprimitive (these conditions turn out to be equivalent for diagonal groups). Associated with the diagonal semilattice is a graph, the diagonal graph, which has the same automorphism group as the diagonal semilattice except in four small cases with m

In a previous paper, we obtained several "compact versions" of Rubio de Francia's weighted extrapolation theorem, which allowed us to extrapolate the compactness of linear operators from just one space to the full range of weighted Lebesgue spaces, where these operators are bounded. In this paper, we study the extrapolation of compactness for bilinear operators in terms of bilinear Muckenhoupt weights. As applications, we easily recover and improve earlier results on the weighted compactness of commutators of bilinear Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operators, bilinear fractional integrals and bilinear Fourier multipliers. More general versions of these results are recently due to Cao, Olivo and Yabuta (arXiv:2011.13191), whose approach depends on developing weighted versions of the Fr\'echet--Kolmogorov criterion of compactness, whereas we avoid this by relying on "softer" tools, which might have an independent interest in view of further extensions of the method., Comment: v3: final version, incorporated referee comments, to appear in Indagationes Mathematicae, 27 pages

A question of Conca, Rossi, and Valla asks whether every quadratic Gorenstein ring $R$ of regularity three is Koszul. In a previous paper, we use idealization to answer their question, proving that in nine or more variables there exist quadratic Gorenstein rings of regularity three which are not Koszul. In this paper, we study the analog of the Conca-Rossi-Valla question when the regularity of $R$ is four or more. Let $R$ be a quadratic Gorenstein ring having $\mathrm{codim}\, R = c$ and $\mathrm{reg}\, R = r \ge 4$. We prove that if $c = r+1$ then $R$ is always Koszul, and for every $c \geq r+2$, we construct quadratic Gorenstein rings that are not Koszul, answering questions of Matsuda and Migliore-Nagel concerning the $h$-vectors of quadratic Gorenstein rings., Comment: v2 - Minor changes based on referee comments

In this paper, we generalize the classical Freidlin-Wentzell’s theorem for random perturbations of Hamiltonian systems. In (Probability Theory and Related Fields 128 (2004) 441–466), M.Freidlin and M.Weber generalized the original result in the sense that the coefficient for the noise term is no longer the identity matrix but a state-dependent matrix and taking the drift term into consideration. In this paper, We generalize the result by adding a state-dependent matrix that converges uniformly to 0 on any compact sets as ϵ tends to 0 to a state-dependent noise and considering the drift term which contains two parts, the state-dependent mapping and a state-dependent mapping that converges uniformly to 0 on any compact sets as ϵ tends to 0. In the proof, we adapt a new way to prove the weak convergence inside the edge by constructing an auxiliary process and modify the proof in (Probability Theory and Related Fields 128 (2004) 441–466) when proving gluing condition.

This paper aims at producing numerical solutions of nonlinear parabolic PDEs with forcing term without any linearization. Since the linearization of nonlinear term leads to lose real features, without doing linearization, this paper focuses on capturing natural behaviour of the mechanism. Therefore we concentrate on analysis of the physical processes without losing their properties. To carry out this study, a backward differentiation formula in time and a spline method in space have been combined in leading to the discretized equation. This method leads to a very reliable alternative in solving the problem by conserving the physical properties of the nature. The efficiency of the present method are proved theoretically and illustrated by various numerical tests.

Starting with work of Serre, Katz, and Swinnerton-Dyer, theta operators have played a key role in the study of $p$-adic and $\bmod p$ modular forms and Galois representations. This paper achieves two main results for theta operators on automorphic forms on PEL-type Shimura varieties: 1) the analytic continuation at unramified primes $p$ to the whole Shimura variety of the $\bmod p$ reduction of $p$-adic Maass--Shimura operators {\it a priori} defined only over the $\mu$-ordinary locus, and 2) the construction of new $\bmod p$ theta operators that do not arise as the $\bmod p$ reduction of Maass--Shimura operators. While the main accomplishments of this paper concern the geometry of Shimura varieties and consequences for differential operators, we conclude with applications to Galois representations. Our approach involves a careful analysis of the behavior of Shimura varieties and enables us to obtain more general results than allowed by prior techniques, including for arbitrary signature, vector weights, and unramified primes in CM fields of arbitrary degree., Comment: Accepted for publication in IMRN. 42 pages

Diffusion equations with Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives are Volterra integro-partial differential equations with weakly singular kernels and present fundamental challenges for numerical computation. In this paper, we make a convergence analysis of the Schwarz waveform relaxation (SWR) algorithms with Robin transmission conditions (TCs) for these problems. We focus on deriving good choice of the parameter involved in the Robin TCs, at the continuous and fully discretized level. Particularly, at the space-time continuous level, we show that the derived Robin parameter is much better than the one predicted by the well-understood equioscillation principle. At the fully discretized level, the problem of determining a good Robin parameter is studied in the convolution quadrature framework, which permits us to precisely capture the effects of different temporal discretization methods on the convergence rate of the SWR algorithms. The results obtained in this paper will be preliminary preparations for our further study of the SWR algorithms for integro-partial differential equations.

In order to solve the complicated process and low efficiency and low accuracy of solving a class of matrix equations, this paper introduces the linear saturated system model neural network architecture to solve the bisymmetric solution of a class of matrix equations. Firstly, a class of matrix equations is constructed to determine the key problems of solving the equations. Secondly, the linear saturated system model neural network structure is constructed to determine the characteristic parameters in the process of bisymmetric solution. Then, the matrix equations is solved by using backpropagation neural network topology. Finally, the class normalization is realized by using the objective function of bisymmetric solution, and the bisymmetric solution of a class of matrix equations is realized. In order to verify the solving effect of the method in this paper, three indexes (accuracy, correction accuracy, and solving time) are designed in the experiment. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the solving time, can improve the accuracy and correction effect of the bisymmetric solution, and has high practicability.

In recent years, the problem of estimating Hankel determinants has attracted the attention of many mathematicians. Their research have been focused mainly on deriving the bounds of H 2 , 2 {H_{2,2}} or H 3 , 1 {H_{3,1}} over different subclasses of 𝒮 {\mathcal{S}} . Only in a few papers third Hankel determinants for non-univalent functions were considered. In this paper, we consider two classes of analytic functions with real coefficients. The first one is the class 𝒯 {\mathcal{T}} of typically real functions. The second object of our interest is 𝒦 ℝ ⁢ ( i ) {\mathcal{K}_{\mathbb{R}}(i)} , the class of functions with real coefficients which are convex in the direction of the imaginary axis. In both classes, we find lower and upper bounds of the third Hankel determinant. The results are sharp.

In this paper, we develop the theory of a class of casual differential equations on a time scale. An existence theorem for casual differential equations on a time scale is given under mixed Lipschitz and compactness conditions by the fixed point theorem in Banach algebra due to Dhage. Some fundamental differential inequalities on a time scale are also presented which are utilized to investigate the existence of extremal solutions. The comparison principle on casual differential equations on a time scale is established. Our results in this paper extend and improve some well-known results.

This paper presents some new formulas and properties of the generalized fractional derivative with non-singular kernel that covers various types of fractional derivatives such as the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative, the Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative, and the weighted Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative. These new properties extend many recent results existing in the literature. Furthermore, the paper proposes some interesting inequalities that estimate the generalized fractional derivatives of some specific functions. These inequalities can be used to construct Lyapunov functions with the aim to study the global asymptotic stability of several fractional-order systems arising from diverse fields of science and engineering.

The paper focuses on the analysis of the Euler projection Galerkin finite element method (FEM) for the dynamics of magnetization in ferromagnetic materials, described by the Landau–Lifshitz equation with the point-wise constraint $|{\textbf{m}}|=1$. The method is based on a simple sphere projection that projects the numerical solution onto a unit sphere at each time step, and the method has been used in many areas in the past several decades. However, error analysis for the commonly used method has not been done since the classical energy approach cannot be applied directly. In this paper we present an optimal $\textbf{L}^2$ error analysis of the backward Euler sphere projection method by using quadratic or higher order finite elements under a time step condition $\tau =O(\epsilon _0 h)$ with some small $\epsilon _0>0$. The analysis is based on more precise estimates of the extra error caused by the sphere projection in both $\textbf{L}^2$ and $\textbf{H}^1$ norms, and the classical estimate of dual norm. Numerical experiment is provided to confirm our theoretical analysis.

For a separable finite diffuse measure space $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M and an orthonormal basis $$\{\varphi _n\}$$ { φ n } of $$L^2({\mathcal {M}})$$ L 2 ( M ) consisting of bounded functions $$\varphi _n\in L^\infty ({\mathcal {M}})$$ φ n ∈ L ∞ ( M ) , we find a measurable subset $$E\subset {\mathcal {M}}$$ E ⊂ M of arbitrarily small complement $$|{\mathcal {M}}{\setminus } E| | M \ E | < ϵ , such that every measurable function $$f\in L^1({\mathcal {M}})$$ f ∈ L 1 ( M ) has an approximant $$g\in L^1({\mathcal {M}})$$ g ∈ L 1 ( M ) with $$g=f$$ g = f on E and the Fourier series of g converges to g, and a few further properties. The subset E is universal in the sense that it does not depend on the function f to be approximated. Further in the paper this result is adapted to the case of $${\mathcal {M}}=G/H$$ M = G / H being a homogeneous space of an infinite compact second countable Hausdorff group. As a useful illustration the case of n-spheres with spherical harmonics is discussed. The construction of the subset E and approximant g is sketched briefly at the end of the paper.

This paper is concerned with the qualitative analysis of solutions to the following class of quasilinear problems $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta _{\Phi }u=f(x,u) &{}\quad \text {in } \Omega ,\\ u=0 &{}\quad \text {on }\partial \Omega , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ - Δ Φ u = f ( x , u ) in Ω , u = 0 on ∂ Ω , where $$\Delta _{\Phi }u=\mathrm{div}\,(\varphi (x,|\nabla u|)\nabla u)$$ Δ Φ u = div ( φ ( x , | ∇ u | ) ∇ u ) and $$\Phi (x,t)=\int _{0}^{|t|}\varphi (x,s)s\,ds$$ Φ ( x , t ) = ∫ 0 | t | φ ( x , s ) s d s is a generalized N-function. We assume that $$\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^N$$ Ω ⊂ R N is a smooth bounded domain that contains two open regions $$\Omega _N,\Omega _p$$ Ω N , Ω p with $${\overline{\Omega }}_N \cap {\overline{\Omega }}_p=\emptyset $$ Ω ¯ N ∩ Ω ¯ p = ∅ . The features of this paper are that $$-\Delta _{\Phi }u$$ - Δ Φ u behaves like $$-\Delta _N u $$ - Δ N u on $$\Omega _N$$ Ω N and $$-\Delta _p u $$ - Δ p u on $$\Omega _p$$ Ω p , and that the growth of $$f:\Omega \times {\mathbb {R}} \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}$$ f : Ω × R → R is like that of $$e^{\alpha |t|^{\frac{N}{N-1}}}$$ e α | t | N N - 1 on $$\Omega _N$$ Ω N and as $$|t|^{p^{*}-2}t$$ | t | p ∗ - 2 t on $$\Omega _p$$ Ω p when |t| is large enough. The main result establishes the existence of solutions in a suitable Musielak–Sobolev space in the case of high perturbations with respect to the values of a positive parameter.

In this paper, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Cauchy problem of a one-dimensional compressible isentropic Euler system for a Chaplygin gas with large initial data in the space L loc 1 . The hypotheses on the initial data may be the least requirement to ensure the existence of a weak solution in the Lebesgue measurable sense. The novelty and also the essence of the difficulty of the problem lie in the fact that we have neither the requirement on the local boundedness of the density nor that which is bounded away from vacuum. We develop the previous results on this degenerate system. The method used is Lagrangian representation, the essence of which is characteristic analysis. The key point is to prove the existence of the Lagrangian representation and the absolute continuity of the potentials constructed with respect to the space and the time variables. We achieve this by finding a property of the fundamental theorem of calculus for Lebesgue integration, which is a sufficient and necessary condition for judging whether a monotone continuous function is absolutely continuous. The assumptions on the initial data in this paper are believed to also be necessary for ruling out the formation of Dirac singularity of density. The ideas and techniques developed here may be useful for other nonlinear problems involving similar difficulties.

In this paper, the global exponential stability and periodicity are investigated for delayed neural network models with continuous coefficients and piecewise constant delay of generalized type. The sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of the model is established by applying Banach’s fixed point theorem and the successive approximations method. By constructing suitable differential inequalities with generalized piecewise constant delay, some sufficient conditions for the global exponential stability of the model are obtained. Typical numerical examples with simulations are utilized to illustrate the validity and improvement in less conservatism of the theoretical results. This paper ends with a brief conclusion.

In this paper, we study the concomitants of m-generalized order statistics (m-GOSs) and m-dual generalized order statistics (m-DGOSs) from bivariate Cambanis family with nonzero parameter values as an extension of several recent papers. Moreover, we derive some information measures, namely the Shannon entropy, Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence and Fisher information number (FIN) for the concomitants of m-GOSs, when $$m>-1,$$ and record values, for $$m=-1.$$ Also, the joint distribution of concomitants of m-GOSs and record values for this family are studied. Besides, some useful recurrence relations between moments of concomitants are obtained. Finally, the ordinary order statistics (OOSs), record values and sequential order statistics (SOSs) as subclasses of m-GOSs, as well as the progressive type II censored order statistics (POSs) as a more general subclass of GOSs, are separately discussed.

In this paper, generalized versions of Hadamard and Fejér–Hadamard type fractional integral inequalities are obtained. By using generalized fractional integrals containing Mittag-Leffler functions, some well-known results for convex and harmonically convex functions are generalized. The results of this paper are connected with various published fractional integral inequalities.

In this paper, we prove that if a nonconstant finite order meromorphic function f and its n-th order difference operator $$\Delta ^n_{\eta }f$$ share $$a_1,$$ $$a_2,$$ $$a_3$$ CM, where n is a positive integer, $$\eta \ne 0$$ is a finite complex value, and $$a_1,$$ $$a_2,$$ $$a_3$$ are three distinct finite complex values, then $$f(z)=\Delta ^n_{\eta }f(z)$$ for each $$z\in \mathbb {C}.$$ The main results in this paper improve and extend many known results concerning a conjecture posed by Chen and Yi in 2013.

PurposeIn this paper, Picard–S hybrid iterative process is defined, which is a hybrid of Picard and S-iterative process. This new iteration converges faster than all of Picard, Krasnoselskii, Mann, Ishikawa, S-iteration, Picard–Mann hybrid, Picard–Krasnoselskii hybrid and Picard–Ishikawa hybrid iterative processes for contraction mappings and to find the solution of delay differential equation, using this hybrid iteration also proved some results for Picard–S hybrid iterative process for nonexpansive mappings.Design/methodology/approachThis new iteration converges faster than all of Picard, Krasnoselskii, Mann, Ishikawa, S-iteration, Picard–Mann hybrid, Picard–Krasnoselskii hybrid, Picard–Ishikawa hybrid iterative processes for contraction mappings.FindingsShowed the fastest convergence of this new iteration and then other iteration defined in this paper.

In this paper, we present some new identities for multiple polylogarithm functions by using the methods of iterated integral computations of logarithm functions. Then, by applying these formulas obtained, we establish several duality formulas for Arakawa–Kaneko zeta values and Kaneko–Tsumura $$\eta $$ -values. At the end of the paper, we study a variant of Kaneko–Tsumura $$\eta $$ -function with r-complex variables and establish two formulas about the values of this variant; these two formulas were proved previously by Yamamoto.

Let $\mathbb{R}^n$ be a Euclidean space of dimension $n\geq 2$ . For a domain $G\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ , we denote by $V_r(G)$ the set of functions $f\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}(G)$ having zero integrals over all closed balls of radius r contained in G (if domain G does not contain such balls, we set $V_r(G)=L_{\mathrm{loc}}(G)$ ). Let E be a nonempty subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ . In this paper we study the following questions related to the extension problem. 1) Which conditions guarantee the extension of a continuous function defined on E to a continuous function of class $V_r(\mathbb{R}^n)$ defined on the whole $\mathbb{R}^n$ ? 2) If the above extension exists, obtain growth estimates of the extended function at infinity. Theorem 1 of this paper shows that for a wide class of continuous functions on segment E defined in terms of the modulus of continuity, there exists an extension to a bounded function of class $(V_r\cap C)(\mathbb{R}^n)$ regardless of the length of segment E. A similar result is not true for open sets E with a diameter greater than 2r, even without conditions for extension growth. Theorem 1 also contains an estimate of the velocity decrease of the extended function at infinity in directions orthogonal to the segment E.

In this paper, we develop a new method for studying the inhomogeneous vector Riemann–Hilbert boundary value problem (which is also called the Riemann boundary value problem) in the Wiener algebra of order two. The method consists in reducing the Riemann problem to a truncated Wiener–Hopf equation (to a convolution equation on a finite interval). The idea of the method was proposed by the author in a previous work. Here the method is applied to the inhomogeneous Riemann boundary value problem and to matrix functions of a more general form. The efficiency of the method is shown in the paper: new sufficient conditions for the existence of a canonical factorization of the matrix function in the Wiener algebra of order two are obtained. In addition, it was established that for the correct solvability of the inhomogeneous vector Riemann boundary value problem, it is necessary and sufficient to prove the uniqueness of the solution to the corresponding truncated homogeneous Wiener–Hopf equation.

Based on the basic theory of the material point method (MPM), the factors affecting the computational efficiency are analyzed and discussed, and the problem of improving calculation efficiency is studied. This paper introduces a mirror reflection boundary condition to the MPM to solve axisymmetric problems; to improve the computational efficiency of solving large deformation problems, the concept of "dynamic background domain (DBD)" is also proposed in this paper. Taking the explosion and/or shock problems as an example, the numerical simulation are calculated, and the typical characteristic parameters and the CPU time are compared. The results show that the processing method introducing mirror reflection boundary condition and MPM with DBD can improve the calculation efficiency of the corresponding problems, which, under the premise of ensuring its calculation accuracy, provide useful reference for further promoting the engineering application of this method.

The first aim of this paper is to investigate the growth of the entire function defined by the Laplace-Stieltjes transform converges on the whole complex plane. By introducing the concept of generalized order, we obtain two equivalence theorems of Laplace-Stieltjes transforms related to the generalized order, A * and λn. The second purpose of this paper is to study the problem on the approximation of this Laplace-Stieltjes transform. We also obtain some theorems about the generalized order, the error, and the coefficients of Laplace-Stieltjes transforms, which are generalization and improvement of the previous results.

In this paper we study multi-dimensional mean-field backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs), that is, BDSDEs whose coefficients depend not only on the solution processes but also on their law. The first part of the paper is devoted to the comparison theorem for multi-dimensional mean-field BDSDEs with Lipschitz conditions. With the help of the comparison result for the Lipschitz case we prove the existence of a solution for multi-dimensional mean-field BDSDEs with an only continuous drift coefficient of linear growth, and we also extend the comparison theorem to such BDSDEs with a continuous coefficient.

This paper concerns on two types of integral boundary value problems of a nonlinear fractional differential system, i . e ., nonlocal strip integral boundary value problems and coupled integral boundary value problems. With the aid of the monotone iterative method combined with the upper and lower solutions, the existence of extremal system of solutions for the above two types of differential systems is investigated. In addition, a new comparison theorem for fractional differential system is also established, which is crucial for the proof of the main theorem of this paper. At the end, an example explaining how our studies can be used is also given.

The main aim of this paper is to give refinement of bounds of fractional integral operators involving extended generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. A new definition, namely, strongly α , m -convex function is introduced to obtain improvements of bounds of fractional integral operators for convex, m -convex, and α , m -convex functions. The results of this paper will provide simultaneous generalizations as well as refinements of various published results.

In this paper, we consider a version of energy minimisation technique applied to images of a 2D fluid flow. The two Navier–Stokes equations describe the static flow of a 2D fluid in terms of velocity field, (u, v), pressure field, p and forcing field, f. Apart from these two Navier–Stokes equations, we have the incompressibility condition to evaluate the three parameters. While implementing this system, random noise (usually non-Gaussian) creeps into the random force field $$\underline{f}(x,y)$$ f ̲ ( x , y ) . We denote this random field by $$\delta \underline{f}(x,y)$$ δ f ̲ ( x , y ) having zero mean and non-trivial second and third moments. We assume that these two moments are known except for some unknown parameters $$\underline{\theta }$$ θ ̲ (like mean, variance, co-variance, skewness, etc.) which we wish to estimate. In the proposed technique, we first calculate the approximate shift in the average fluid energy defined as a quadratic function of the velocity field. The energy method then requires that $$\underline{\theta }$$ θ ̲ should be such that this average increases in the energy due to the random forcing component be minimised. We should, however, note that the standard statistical approach to force field estimation is to calculate the velocity field as a function of the force field and then adopt the statistical moment matching technique. Such an approach assumes spatial ergodicity of the velocity field. This approach to force field estimation is more accurate from the statistical moment matching view point but works only if velocity measurements are made. The former technique of energy minimisation does not require any velocity measurements. Both of these techniques are discussed in this paper and MATLAB simulations presented.

The study in this paper is made on the nonlinear fractional differential equation whose nonlinearity involves the explicit fractional order D0+β u(t). The corresponding Green's function is derived first, and then the completely continuous operator is proved. Besides, based on the Schauder's fixed point theorem and the Krasnosel'skii's fixed point theorem, the sufficient conditions for at least one or two existence of positive solutions are established. Furthermore, several other sufficient conditions for at least three, n or 2n-1 positive solutions are also obtained by applying the generalized AveryHenderson fixed point theorem and the Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem. Finally, several simulation examples are provided to illustrate the main results of the paper. In particularly, a novel efficient iterative method is employed for simulating the examples mentioned above, that is, the interesting point of this paper is that the approximation graphics for the solutions are given by using the iterative method.

In this paper we deal with the martingales in variable Lebesgue space over a probability space. We first prove several basic inequalities for conditional expectation operators and give several norm convergence conditions for martingales in variable Lebesgue space. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the boundedness of weak-type and strong-type Doob’s maximal operators in martingale Lebesgue space with a variable exponent. In particular, we present two kinds of weak-type Doob’s maximal inequalities and some necessary and sufficient conditions for strong-type Doob’s maximal inequalities. Finally, we provide two counterexamples to show that the strong-type inequality does not hold in general variable Lebesgue spaces with p > 1.

The aim of this paper is to characterize the solutions Φ : G → M 2(ℂ) of the following matrix functional equations Φ ( x y ) + Φ ( σ ( y ) x ) 2 = Φ ( x ) Φ ( y ) , x , y , ∈ G , {{\Phi \left( {xy} \right) + \Phi \left( {\sigma \left( y \right)x} \right)} \over 2} = \Phi \left( x \right)\Phi \left( y \right),\,\,\,\,\,\,x,y, \in G, and Φ ( x y ) − Φ ( σ ( y ) x ) 2 = Φ ( x ) Φ ( y ) , x , y , ∈ G , {{\Phi \left( {xy} \right) - \Phi \left( {\sigma \left( y \right)x} \right)} \over 2} = \Phi \left( x \right)\Phi \left( y \right),\,\,\,\,\,\,x,y, \in G, where G is a group that need not be abelian, and σ : G → G is an involutive automorphism of G. Our considerations are inspired by the papers [13, 14] in which the continuous solutions of the first equation on abelian topological groups were determined.

The paper aims to establish new results on Tauberian theorem for Cesàro summability of double sequences of fuzzy numbers, and thus to extend and unify several results in the available literature. Further, a number of special cases, corollaries and illustrative example in support of the investigation of this paper are also presented.

PurposeThe purpose of this current paper is to deal with the study of non-constant entire solutions of some non-linear complex differential equations in connection to Brück conjecture, by using the theory of complex differential equation. The results generalize the results due to Pramanik et al.Design/methodology/approach39B32, 30D35.FindingsIn the current paper, we mainly study the Brück conjecture and the various works that confirm this conjecture. In our study we find that the conjecture can be generalized for differential monomials under some additional conditions and it generalizes some works related to the conjecture. Also we can take the complex number a in the conjecture to be a small function. More precisely, we obtain a result which can be restate in the following way: Let f be a non-constant entire function such that σ2(f)<∞, σ2(f) is not a positive integer and δ(0, f)>0. Let M[f] be a differential monomial of f of degree γM and α(z), β(z)∈S(f) be such that max{σ(α), σ(β)} <σ(f). If M[f]+β and fγM−α share the value 0 CM, then M[f]+βfγM−α=c,where c≠0 is a constant.Originality/valueThis is an original work of the authors.

Aspace X is said to have the absolutely strongly star -𝒤-Hurewicz (ASS𝒤H) property if for each sequence (𝒰 n : n ∈ 𝕅)of opencovers of X and each dense subset Y of X, there is a sequence (Fn : n ∈ 𝕅) of finite subsets of Y such that for each x ∈ X, {n ∈ 𝕅 : x ∉ St(Fn , 𝒰 n )}∈ 𝒤, where 𝒤 is the proper admissible ideal of 𝕅. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the ASS𝒤H property and other related properties and study the topological properties of the ASS𝒤H property. This paper generalizes several results of Song [25] to the larger class of spaces having the ASS𝒤H properties.

In this paper, we study a system of three evolutionary operator equations involving fractional powers of selfadjoint, monotone, unbounded, linear operators having compact resolvents. This system constitutes a generalized and relaxed version of a phase field system of Cahn-Hilliard type modelling tumor growth that has originally been proposed in Hawkins-Daarud et al. (Int. J. Numer. Math. Biomed. Eng. 28 (2012), 3-24). The original phase field system and certain relaxed versions thereof have been studied in recent papers co-authored by the present authors and E. Rocca. The model consists of a Cahn-Hilliard equation for the tumor cell fraction, coupled to a reaction-diffusion equation for a function S representing the nutrient-rich extracellular water volume fraction. Effects due to fluid motion are neglected. Motivated by the possibility that the diffusional regimes governing the evolution of the different constituents of the model may be of different (e.g., fractional) type, the present authors studied in a recent note a generalization of the systems investigated in the abovementioned works. Under rather general assumptions, well-posedness and regularity results have been shown. In particular, by writing the equation governing the evolution of the chemical potential in the form of a general variational inequality, also singular or nonsmooth contributions of logarithmic or of double obstacle type to the energy density could be admitted. In this note, we perform an asymptotic analysis of the governing system as two (small) relaxation parameters approach zero separately and simultaneously. Corresponding well-posedness and regularity results are established for the respective cases; in particular, we give a detailed discussion which assumptions on the admissible nonlinearities have to be postulated in each of the occurring cases., Comment: Key words: fractional operators, Cahn-Hilliard systems, well-posedness, regularity of solutions, tumor growth models, asymptotic analysis

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for systems of 3-D quasilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition with initial data of low regularity. In the radially symmetric case, we prove the global existence for every small data in H 3 × H 2 with a low weight. To achieve this goal, we will show how to extend the global iteration method first suggested by Li and Chen (1988) [32] to the low regularity case, which is also another purpose of this paper. Finally, we apply our result to 3-D nonlinear elastic waves.
