Insolvency risk measures play important role in the theory and practice of risk management. In this paper, we provide a numerical procedure to compute vectors of their exact values and prove for them new upper and/or lower bounds which are shown to be attainable. More precisely, we investigate a general insolvency risk measure for a regime-switching Sparre Andersen model in which the distributions of claims and/or wait times are driven by a Markov chain. The measure is defined as an arbitrary increasing function of the conditional expected harm of the deficit at ruin, given the initial state of the Markov chain. A vector-valued operator L, generated by the regime-switching process, is introduced and investigated. We show a close connection between the iterations of L and the risk measure in a finite horizon. The approach assumed in the paper enables to treat in a unified way several discrete and continuous time risk models as well as a variety of important vector-valued insolvency risk measures.

International audience; In this paper, we consider a semi-linear fourth order parabolic equation in a bounded smooth domain Ω with homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The main result of this paper is the null controllability and the exact controllability to the trajectories at any time T > 0 for the associated control system with a control function acting at the interior.; Dans ce papier, on considère uneéquation parabolique semi-linéaire de quatrième ordre dans un domaine borné régulier Ω avec des conditions aux limites de type Dirichlet et Neumann homogènes. Le résultat principal de ce papier concerne la contrôlabilitéà zéro et la contrôlabilité exacte pour tout T > 0 du système de contrôle associé avec un contrôle agissantà l'interieur.

In this paper, we discuss the existence of solutions to a boundary value problem of differential equations of variable order, which is a piecewise constant function. Our results are based on the Schauder fixed point theorem. Then, under some assumptions on the nonlinear term, we obtain a generalized Lyapunov-type inequality to the two-point boundary value problem considered. To the best of our knowledge, there is no paper dealing with Lyapunov-type inequalities for boundary value problems in term of variable order. In addition, some examples of the obtained inequalities are given.

This paper gives an explicit formula of the asymptotic expansion of the Kobayashi–Royden metric on the punctured sphere ℂ ⁢ ℙ 1 ∖ { 0 , 1 , ∞ } {\mathbb{CP}^{1}\setminus\{0,1,\infty\}} in terms of the exponential Bell polynomials. We prove a local quantitative version of the Little Picard’s Theorem as an application of the asymptotic expansion. Furthermore, the approach in the paper leads to the interesting consequence that the coefficients in the asymptotic expansion are rational numbers. Furthermore, the explicit formula of the metric and the conclusion regarding the coefficients apply to more general cases of ℂ ⁢ ℙ 1 ∖ { a 1 , … , a n } {\mathbb{CP}^{1}\setminus\{a_{1},\ldots,a_{n}\}} , n ≥ 3 {n\geq 3} , as well, and the metric on ℂ ⁢ ℙ 1 ∖ { 0 , 1 3 , - 1 6 ± 3 6 ⁢ i } {\mathbb{CP}^{1}\setminus\{0,\frac{1}{3},-\frac{1}{6}\pm\frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}i\}} will be given as a concrete example of our results.

This paper considers some multiscale radial basis function collocation methods for solving the two-dimensional Monge–Ampère equation with Dirichlet boundary. We discuss and study the performance of the three kinds of multiscale methods. The first method is the cascadic meshfree method, which was proposed by Liu and He (2013). The second method is the stationary multilevel method, which was proposed by Floater and Iske (1996), and is used to solve the fully nonlinear partial differential equation in the paper for the first time. The third is the hierarchical radial basis function method, which is constructed by employing successive refinement scattered data sets and scaled compactly supported radial basis functions with varying support radii. Compared with the first two methods, the hierarchical radial basis function method can not only solve the present problem on a single level with higher accuracy and lower computational cost but also produce highly sparse nonlinear discrete system. These observations are obtained by taking the direct approach of numerical experimentation.

A graph Γ is called a bi-circulant if it admits a cyclic group as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on the vertices of Γ with two orbits. The characterization of tetravalent edgetransitive bi-circulants was given in several recent papers. In this paper, a classification is given of connected tetravalent vertex-transitive bi-circulants of order twice an odd integer.

The main motive of the paper is to look on rectifying and osculating curves on a smooth surface. In this paper we find the normal and geodesic curvature for a rectifying curve on a smooth surface and we also prove that geodesic curvature is invariant under the isometry of surfaces such that rectifying curves remain. We find a sufficient condition for which an osculating curve on a smooth surface remains invariant under isometry of surfaces and also we prove that the component of the position vector of an osculating curve α(s) on a smooth surface along any tangent vector to the surface at α(s) is invariant under such isometry.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a new class of problems appeared in the theory of optimal control. It was determined that the structure of a number of systems or processes is not homogeneous and can change over time. Therefore, new mathematical models of heterogeneous structure have been developed. Research methods for this type of system vary widely, reflecting various scientific schools and thought. One of the proposed options was to develop an approach that retains the traditional assumptions of optimal control theory. Its basis is Krotov's sufficient optimality conditions for discrete systems, formulated in terms of arbitrary sets and mappings. One of the classes of heterogeneous systems is considered in this paper: discretecontinuous systems (DCSs). DCSs are used for case where all the homogeneous subsystems of the lower level are not only connected by a common functional but also have their own goals. In this paper a generalization of Krotov's sufficient optimality conditions is applied. The foundational theory is the Krotov method of global improvement, which was originally proposed for discrete processes. The advantage of the proposed method is that its conjugate system of vector-matrix equations is linear; hence, its solution always exists, which allows us to find the desired solution in the optimal control problem for DCSs.

This research paper is about the existence and uniqueness of the coupled system of nonlinear fractional Langevin equations with multipoint and nonlocal integral boundary conditions. The Caputo fractional derivative is used to formulate the fractional differential equations, and the fractional integrals mentioned in the boundary conditions are due to Atangana–Baleanu and Katugampola. The existence of solution has been proven by two main fixed-point theorems: O’Regan’s fixed-point theorem and Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem. By applying Banach’s fixed-point theorem, we proved the uniqueness result for the concerned problem. This research paper highlights the examples related with theorems that have already been proven.

This is a follow-up of the paper J. Fernandez-Bonder, A. Ritorto and A. Salort, H-convergence result for nonlocal elliptic-type problems via Tartar’s method, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 49 (2017), pp. 2387–2408, where the classical concept of H-convergence was extended to fractional $$p$$ -Laplace type operators. In this short paper we provide an explicit characterization of this notion by demonstrating that the weak- $$*$$ convergence of the coefficients is an equivalent condition for H-convergence of the sequence of nonlocal operators. This result takes advantage of nonlocality and is in stark contrast to the local $$p$$ -Laplacian case.

In this paper we are concerned with the study of a long-standing open problem posed by Lau in 1976. This problem is about whether the left amenability property of the space of left uniformly continuous functions of a semitopological semigroup is equivalent to the existence of a common fixed point for every jointly weak* continuous norm nonexpansive action on a nonempty weak* compact convex subset of a dual Banach space. We establish in this paper a positive answer.

The paper investigates the dynamical behaviors of a two-species discrete predator-prey system with Crowley–Martin functional response incorporating prey refuge proportional to prey density. The existence of equilibrium points, stability of three fixed points, period-doubling bifurcation, Neimark–Sacker bifurcation, Marottos chaos, and Control Chaos are analyzed for the discrete-time domain. The time graphs, phase portraits, and bifurcation diagrams are obtained for different parameters of the model. Numerical simulations and graphics show that the discrete model exhibits rich dynamics, which also present that the system is a chaotic and complex one. This paper attempts to present a feedback control method which can stabilize chaotic orbits at an unstable equilibrium point.

In this paper, a G-shift of finite type (G-SFT) is a shift of finite type together with a free continuous shift-commuting action by a finite group G. We reduce the classification of G-SFTs up to equivariant flow equivalence to an algebraic classification of a class of poset-blocked matrices over the integral group ring of G. For a special case of two irreducible components with G$=\mathbb Z_2$, we compute explicit complete invariants. We relate our matrix structures to the Adler-Kitchens-Marcus group actions approach. We give examples of G-SFT applications, including a new connection to involutions of cellular automata., The paper has been augmented considerably and the second version is now 81 pages long. This version has been accepted for publication in Transactions of the American Mathematical Society

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of common fixed points of a finite family of nonspreading mappings and a finite family of nonexpansive multivalued mappings in Hadamard space. We state and prove strong and ? convergence theorems of the proposed iterative process. The results obtained in this paper extend and improve some recent known results.

The aim of this paper is to study the difference gap (in short, D-gap) function and error bounds for a class of the random mixed equilibrium problems in real Hilbert spaces. Firstly, we consider regularized gap functions of the Fukushima type and Moreau-Yosida type. Then difference gap functions are established by using these terms of regularized gap functions. Finally, the global error bounds for random mixed equilibrium problems are also developed. The results obtained in this paper are new and extend some corresponding known results in literatures. Some examples are given for the illustration of our results.

In this paper, we consider the solvability for boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional differential equations with mixed perturbations of the second type. The expression of the solution for the boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations with mixed perturbations of the second type is discussed based on the definition and the property of the Caputo differential operators. By the fixed point theorem in Banach algebra due to Dhage, an existence theorem for the boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equations with mixed perturbations of the second type is given under mixed Lipschitz and Caratheodory conditions. As an application, an example is presented to illustrate the main results. Our results in this paper extend and improve some well-known results. To some extent, our work fills the gap on some basic theory for the boundary value problems of fractional differential equations with mixed perturbations of the second type involving Caputo differential operator.

Multisplitting methods are useful to solve differential-algebraic equations. In this connection, we discuss the theory of matrix splittings and multisplittings, which can be used for finding the iterative solution of a large class of rectangular (singular) linear system of equations of the form Ax = b. In this direction, many convergence results are proposed for different subclasses of proper splittings in the literature. But, in some practical cases, the convergence speed of the iterative scheme is very slow. To overcome this issue, several comparison results are obtained for different subclasses of proper splittings. This paper also presents a few such results. However, this idea fails to accelerate the speed of the iterative scheme in finding the iterative solution. In this regard, Climent and Perea [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 158 (2003), 43-48: MR2013603] introduced the notion of proper multisplittings to solve the system Ax = b on parallel and vector machines, and established convergence theory for a subclass of proper multisplittings. With the aim to extend the convergence theory of proper multisplittings, this paper further adds a few results. Some of the results obtained in this paper are even new for the iterative theory of nonsingular linear systems.

In this paper, three compact difference schemes for the time-fractio-nal Black-Scholes model governing European option pricing are presented. Firstly, in order to obtain the fourth-order accuracy in space by applying the Pade approximation, we eliminate the convection term of the B-S equation by an exponential transformation. Then the time fractional derivative is approximated by $ L1 $ formula, $ L2 - 1_\sigma $ formula and $ L1 - 2 $ formula respectively, and three compact difference schemes with oders $ O(\Delta t^{2-\alpha}+h ^4) $, $ O(\Delta t^{2}+h ^4) $ and $ O(\Delta t^{3-\alpha}+h ^4) $ are constructed. Finally, numerical example is carried out to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of proposed methods, and the comparisons of various schemes are given. The paper also provides numerical studies including the effect of fractional orders and the effect of different parameters on option price in time-fractional B-S model.

In this paper, we consider an inverse problem on recovering the right-hand side of a fractional pseudo-parabolic equation with an involution operator. The major obstacle for considering the inverse problems is related with the well-posedness of the problem. Inverse problems are often ill-posed. For example, the inverse heat equation, deducing a previous distribution of temperature from final data, is not well-posed since the solution is highly sensitive to variations in the final data. The advantage of this paper is two-fold. On the one hand, we investigate the solvability of the direct problem and prove the solvability to this problem. On the other hand, we study the inverse problem based on this direct problem and prove the solvability results in this problem, too. First, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the time-fractional pseudo-parabolic equation with the involution operator, and secondly, we consider the inverse problem on recovering the right-hand side from an overdetermined final condition and prove that it is solvable. To achieve our goals, we use methods corresponding to the different areas of mathematics such as the theory of partial differential equations, mathematical physics, and functional analysis. In particular, we use the L-Fourier analysis method to establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to this problem on the Sobolev space. The classical and generalized solutions of the inverse problem are studied.

Let w(x) be the Laguerre weight function, 1 ≤ p < ∞, and Lpw be the space of functions f, p-th power of which is integrable with the weight function w(x) on the non-negative axis. For a given positive integer r, let denote by WrLpw the Sobolev space, which consists of r−1 times continuously differentiable functions f, for which the (r−1)-st derivative is absolutely continuous on an arbitrary segment [a, b] of non-negative axis, and the r-th derivative belongs to the space Lpw. In the case when p = 2 we introduce in the space WrL2w an inner product of Sobolev-type, which makes it a Hilbert space. Further, by lαr,n(x), where n = r, r + 1, ..., we denote the polynomials generated by the classical Laguerre polynomials. These polynomials together with functions lαr,n(x) = xn / n! , where n = 0, 1, r − 1, form a complete and orthonormal system in the space WrL2w. In this paper, the problem of uniform convergence on any segment [0,A] of the Fourier series by this system of polynomials to functions from the Sobolev space WrLpw is considered. Earlier, uniform convergence was established for the case p = 2. In this paper, it is proved that uniform convergence of the Fourier series takes place for p > 2 and does not occur for 1 ≤ p < 2. The proof of convergence is based on the fact that WrLpw ⊂ WrL2w for p > 2. The divergence of the Fourier series by the example of the function ecx using the asymptotic behavior of the Laguerre polynomials is established.

In this paper we investigate the existence of solution of the initial-value problem with an initial point located at the boundary of the domain of definition for the first-order differential equation. This initial-value problem differs from the one accepted in classical theory, where the initial point is always internal for domain. Our aim is to find such conditions for the right-hand side of the equation and the boundary that would guarantee the existence or absence of this solution. In its previous article the authors used the standard Euler polygonal line method to solve this problem and described all cases when this method is used to get the desired answer. The polygonal line method, having certain advantages (constructibility, the ability to use a computer), requires for its implementation that both the equation and the domain of its definition meet certain restrictions, which inevitably narrows the class of acceptable equations. In this paper, we attempt to maximize the results obtained earlier, and for this purpose we use a completely different approach. The original equation is extended in such a way that the boundary initial-value problem becomes an ordinary internal initial-value problem, for which the standard Peano theorem is applied. To answer the question whether the solution of the modified initial-value problem is also the solution of the original boundary initial-value problem, so-called comparison theorems and differential inequalities are applied. This article is an independent study, not based on our previous work. For the sake of completeness, new proofs are given for previously obtained results, which are based on a new approach. As a result, we expanded the class of equations under consideration, removed the previous requirements for convexity and smoothness of boundary curves, and added cases that could not be considered using the polygonal line method. This work closes a certain gap that exists in the literature on the existence or absence of solutions to the boundary initial-value problem.

The problems considered in this paper are described in polyhedral multi-valued mappings for higher order(s-th) discrete (PDSIs) and differential inclusions (PDFIs). The present paper focuses on the necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality for optimization of these problems. By converting the PDSIs problem into a geometric constraint problem, we formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality for a convex minimization problem with linear inequality constraints. Then, in terms of the Euler-Lagrange type PDSIs and the specially formulated transversality conditions, we are able to obtain conditions of optimality for the PDSIs. In order to obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality for the discrete-approximation problem PDSIs, we reduce this problem to the form of a problem with higher order discrete inclusions. Finally, by formally passing to the limit, we establish the sufficient conditions of optimality for the problem with higher order PDFIs. Numerical approach is developed to solve a polyhedral problem with second order polyhedral discrete inclusions.

This paper is devoted to the study of dual singular integral equations with convolution kernels in the case of non-normal type. Via using the Fourier transforms, we transform such equations into Riemann boundary value problems. To solve the equation, we establish the regularity theory of solvability. The general solutions and the solvable conditions of the equation are obtained. Especially, we investigate the asymptotic property of solutions at nodes. This paper will have a significant meaning for the study of improving and developing complex analysis, integral equations and Riemann boundary value problems.

In the proposed paper, we have introduced the notion of point-wise relatively statistical convergence, relatively equi-statistical convergence and relatively uniform statistical convergence of sequences of functions based on the difference operator of fractional order including (p, q)-gamma function via the deferred Norlund mean. As an application point of view, we have proved a Korovkin type approximation theorem by using the relatively deferred Norlund equi-statistical convergence of difference sequences of functions and intimated that our theorem is a generalization of some well-established approximation theorems of Korovkin type which was presented in earlier works. Moreover, we estimate the rate of the relatively deferred Norlund equi-statistical convergence involving a non-zero scale function. Furthermore, we use the modulus of continuity to estimate the rate of convergence of approximating positive linear operators. Finally, we set up various fascinating examples in connection with our results and definitions presented in this paper.

In this paper we introduce a new approach to the study of filtering theory by allowing the system's parameters to have a random character. We use Hida's white noise space theory to give an alternative characterization and a proper generalization to the Wiener filter over a suitable space of stochastic distributions introduced by Kondratiev. The main idea throughout this paper is to use the nuclearity of this space in order to view the random variables as bounded multiplication operators (with respect to the Wick product) between Hilbert spaces of stochastic distributions. This allows us to use operator theory tools and properties of Wiener algebras over Banach spaces to proceed and characterize the Wiener filter equations under the underlying randomness assumptions.

A new theory of analytic functions has been recently introduced in the sense of conformable fractional derivative. In addition, the concept of fractional contour integral has also been developed. In this paper, we propose and prove some new results on complex fractional integration. First, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a continuous function to have antiderivative in the conformable sense. Finally, some of the well-known Cauchy´s integral theorems will also be the subject of the extension that we do in this paper.

In this paper, we define and consider some new concepts of the higher order strongly general convex functions with respect to an arbitrary function. Some properties of the higher order strongly general convex functions are investigated under suitable conditions. It is shown that the optimality conditions of the higher order strongly general convex functions are characterized by a class of variational inequalities, which is called the higher order strongly variational inequality. Auxiliary principle technique is used to suggest an implicit method for solving strongly general variational inequalities. Convergence analysis of the proposed method is investigated using the pseudo-monotonicity of the operator. It is shown that the parallelogram laws for Banach spaces can be obtained as applications of higher order strongly affine convex functions. Some special cases also discussed. Results obtained in this paper can be viewed as refinement and improvement of previously known results.

This paper studies the mixed passive and $ H_{\infty} $ performance for uncertain neural networks with interval discrete and distributed time-varying delays via feedback control. The interval discrete and distributed time-varying delay functions are not assumed to be differentiable. The improved criteria of exponential stability with a mixed passive and $ H_{\infty} $ performance are obtained for the uncertain neural networks by constructing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) comprising single, double, triple, and quadruple integral terms and using a feedback controller. Furthermore, integral inequalities and convex combination technique are applied to achieve the less conservative results for a special case of neural networks. By using the Matlab LMI toolbox, the derived new exponential stability with a mixed passive and $ H_{\infty} $ performance criteria is performed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that cover $ H_{\infty} $, and passive performance by setting parameters in the general performance index. Numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the benefits and effectiveness of the derived theoretical results. The method given in this paper is less conservative and more general than the others.

Recently, Bai and Zhang [Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, 2013, 20, 425Ƀ439] constructed modulus-based synchronous multisplitting methods by an equivalent reformulation of the linear complementarity problem into a system of fixed-point equations and studied the convergence of them; Li et al. [Journal of Nanchang University (Natural Science), 2013, 37, 307Ƀ312] studied synchronous block multisplitting iteration methods; Zhang and Li [Computers and Mathematics with Application, 2014, 67, 1954Ƀ1959] analyzed and obtained the weaker convergence results for linear complementarity problems. In this paper, we generalize their algorithms and further study global relaxed modulus-based synchronous block multisplitting multi-parameters methods for linear complementarity problems. Furthermore, we give the weaker convergence results of our new method in this paper when the system matrix is a block $ H_{+}- $matrix. Therefore, new results provide a guarantee for the optimal relaxation parameters, please refer to [A. Hadjidimos, M. Lapidakis and M. Tzoumas, SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 2012, 33, 97Ƀ110, (dx.doi.org/10.1137/100811222)], where optimal parameters are determined.

In this paper, we study the nonoscillatory behavior of three classes of fractional difference equations. The investigations are presented in three different folds. Unlike most existing nonoscillation results which have been established by employing Riccati transformation technique, we employ herein an easily verifiable approach based on the fractional Taylor's difference formula, some features of discrete fractional calculus and mathematical inequalities. The theoretical findings are demonstrated by examples. We end the paper by a concluding remark.

In this paper, the nonlinear problem of the 1 D Swift-Hohenberg equation (S-HE) has been solved by using five reliable iterative methods. The first one is the Daftardar-Jafari method namely (DJM), the second method is the Temimi-Ansari method namely (TAM), the third method is the Banach contraction method namely (BCM), the fourth method is the Adomian decomposition method namely (ADM) and finally the fifth method is the Variational iteration method (VIM) to obtain the approximate solutions. In this work, we discussed and applied these iterative methods to solve the S-HE and compared them. In addition, the fixed-point theorem was given to illustrate the convergence of the five methods. To illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the five methods, the maximum error remainder was calculated since the exact solution is unknown. The results showed that the five iterative methods are accurate, reliable, time saver and effective. All the iterative processes in this paper implemented in MATHEMATICA®11.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of exceptional family for the system of implicit generalized order complementarity problems in vector lattice. We present some alternative existence results of the solutions for the system of implicit generalized order complementarity problems via topological degree aspects. The new developments in this paper generalize and improve some known results in the literature.

In the paper, a new class of semi-infinite multiobjective fractional programming problems with support functions in the objective and constraint functions is considered. For such vector optimization problems, higher order dual problems in the sense of Mond-Weir and Schaible are defined. Then, various duality results between the considered multiobjective fractional semi-infinite programming problem and its higher order dual problems mentioned above are established under assumptions that the involved functions are higher order $\left(\Phi, \rho, \sigma^{\alpha}\right)$-type Ⅰ functions. The results established in the paper generalize several similar results previously established in the literature.

In this paper, we investigate the Wong-Zakai approximations induced by a stationary process and the long term behavior of the fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equation driven by a white noise. Precisely, one of the main ingredients in this paper is to establish the existence and uniqueness of tempered pullback attractors for the Wong-Zakai approximations of fractional stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. Thereafter the upper semi-continuity of attractors for the Wong-Zakai approximation of the equation as $\delta\rightarrow0$ is proved.

In the recent decade, a considerable number of Equilibrium problems havebeen solved successfully based on the iteration methods. In this paper, we suggest a viscosity iterative algorithm for nonexpansive semigroup in the framework of Hilbert space. We prove that, the sequence generated by this algorithm under the certain conditions imposed on parameters strongly convergence to a common solution of general equilibrium problem system. Results presented in this paper extend and unify the previously known results announced by many other authors. Further, we give some numerical examples to justify our main results.

In this paper, we investigate qualitative properties of solutions of boundary-value problems for strongly elliptic differential-difference equations. Earlier results establish the existence of generalized solutions of these problems. It was proved that smoothness of such solutions is preserved in some subdomains but can be violated on their boundaries even for infinitely smooth function on the right-hand side. For differential-difference equations on a segment with continuous right-hand sides and boundary conditions of the first, second, or the third kind, earlier we had obtained conditions on the coefficients of difference operators under which there is a classical solution of the problem that coincides with its generalized solution. Also, for the Dirichlet problem for strongly elliptic differential-difference equations, the necessary and sufficient conditions for smoothness of the generalized solution in Holder spaces on the boundaries between subdomains were obtained. The smoothness of solutions inside some subdomains except for ε-neighborhoods of angular points was established earlier as well. However, the problem of smoothness of generalized solutions of the second and the third boundary-value problems for strongly elliptic differential-difference equations remained uninvestigated. In this paper, we use approximation of the differential operator by finite-difference operators in order to increase the smoothness of generalized solutions of the second and the third boundary-value problems for strongly elliptic differential-difference equations in the scale of Sobolev spaces inside subdomains. We prove the corresponding theorem.

The subject of this paper is the geometry of orbits of a family of smooth vector fields defined on a smooth manifold and singular foliations generated by the orbits. As is well known, the geometry of orbits of vector fields is one of the main subjects of investigation in geometry and control theory. Here we propose some author’s results on this problem. Throughout this paper, the smoothness means C∞-smoothness.

This paper generalizes the Kunita–Watanabe decomposition of an $L^2$ space. The generalization comes from using nonlinear stochastic integrals where the integrator is a family of continuous martingales bounded in $L^2$ . This result is also the solution of an optimization problem in $L^2$ . First, martingales are assumed to be stochastic integrals. Then, to get the general result, it is shown that the regularity of the family of martingales with respect to its spatial parameter is inherited by the integrands in the integral representation of the martingales. Finally, an example showing how the results of this paper, with the Clark–Ocone formula, can be applied to polynomial functions of Brownian integrals.

This paper aims to present a new pathwise approximation method, which gives approximate solutions of order $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \frac{3}{2} \end{array}$ for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by multidimensional Brownian motions. The new method, which assumes the diffusion matrix non-degeneracy, employs the Runge-Kutta method and uses the Itô-Taylor expansion, but the generating of the approximation of the expansion is carried out as a whole rather than individual terms. The new idea we applied in this paper is to replace the iterated stochastic integrals Iα by random variables, so implementing this scheme does not require the computation of the iterated stochastic integrals Iα. Then, using a coupling which can be found by a technique from optimal transport theory would give a good approximation in a mean square. The results of implementing this new scheme by MATLAB confirms the validity of the method.

The goal of the present paper is to establish some new results on the existence, uniqueness and stability of periodic solutions for a class of third order functional differential equations with state and time-varying delays. By Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we prove the existence of periodic solutions and under certain sufficient conditions, the Banach contraction principle ensures the uniqueness of this solution. The results obtained in this paper are illustrated by an example.

In this paper we will use the Picard operators technique, in order to establish the existence and uniqueness, data dependence and Gronwall-type results for the solutions of a Fredholm-Volterra functional-integral equation. The paper ends with a result of the Ulam-Hyers stability of this integral equation.

In this paper we study the b b -ary expansions of the square roots of the function defined by the recurrence f b ( n ) = b f b ( n − 1 ) + n f_b(n)=b f_b(n-1)+n with initial value f ( 0 ) = 0 f(0)=0 taken at odd positive integers n n , of which the special case b = 10 b=10 is often referred to as the “schizophrenic” or “mock-rational” numbers. Defined by Darling in 2004 2004 and studied in more detail by Brown in 2009 2009 , these irrational numbers have the peculiarity of containing long strings of repeating digits within their decimal expansion. The main contribution of this paper is the extension of schizophrenic numbers to all integer bases b ≥ 2 b\geq 2 by formally defining the schizophrenic pattern present in the b b -ary expansion of these numbers and the study of the lengths of the non-repeating and repeating digit sequences that appear within.

In this paper we show how to explicitly write down equations of hyperelliptic curves over Q such that for all odd primes l the image of the mod l Galois representation is the general symplectic group. The proof relies on understanding the action of inertia groups on the l-torsion of the Jacobian, including at primes where the Jacobian has non-semistable reduction. We also give a framework for systematically dealing with primitivity of symplectic mod l Galois representations. The main result of the paper is the following. Suppose n=2g+2 is an even integer that can be written as a sum of two primes in two different ways, with none of the primes being the largest primes less than n (this hypothesis appears to hold for all g different from 0,1,2,3,4,5,7 and 13). Then there is an explicit integer N and an explicit monic polynomial $f_0(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree n, such that the Jacobian $J$ of every curve of the form $y^2=f(x)$ has $Gal(\mathbb{Q}(J[l])/\mathbb{Q})\cong GSp_{2g}(\mathbb{F}_l)$ for all odd primes l and $Gal(\mathbb{Q}(J[2])/\mathbb{Q})\cong S_{2g+2}$, whenever $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is monic with $f(x)\equiv f_0(x) \bmod{N}$ and with no roots of multiplicity greater than $2$ in $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ for any p not dividing N., Comment: 24 pages, minor corrections

We investigate a steady planar flow of an ideal fluid in a bounded simply connected domain and focus on the vortex patch problem with prescribed vorticity strength. There are two methods to deal with the existence of solutions for this problem: the vorticity method and the stream function method. A long standing open problem is whether these two entirely different methods result in the same solution. In this paper, we will give a positive answer to this problem by studying the local uniqueness of the solutions. Another result obtained in this paper is that if the domain is convex, then the vortex patch problem has a unique solution.

The purpose of this paper is to show well-posedness results in L 2 -based Sobolev spaces for transmission, Dirichlet, Neumann, and mixed boundary value problems for the Brinkman system with L ∞ coefficients in Lipschitz domains on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension m ≥ 2 . The Dirichlet, transmission, and mixed problems for the nonlinear Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman system with L ∞ coefficients are also analyzed. First, we focus on the well-posedness of linear transmission, Dirichlet and mixed boundary value problems for the Brinkman system with L ∞ coefficients in Lipschitz domains on compact Riemannian manifolds by using a variational approach that reduces such a boundary value problem to a mixed variational formulation defined in terms of two bilinear continuous forms, one of them satisfying a coercivity condition and another one the inf-sup condition. Further, we show the equivalence between each boundary value problem for the Brinkman system with L ∞ coefficients and its mixed variational counterpart, and then the well posedness in L 2 -based Sobolev spaces by using the Necas-Babuska-Brezzi technique. The second goal of this paper is the construction of the Newtonian and layer potential operators for the Brinkman system with L ∞ coefficients in Lipschitz domains on compact Riemannian manifolds by using the well-posedness results for the analyzed linear transmission problems. Various mapping properties of these operators are also obtained and used to describe the weak solutions of the Poisson problems with Dirichlet and Neumann conditions for the nonsmooth Brinkman system in terms of such potentials. Finally, we combine the well-posedness results of the Poisson problems of Dirichlet, transmission, and mixed type for the nonsmooth Brinkman system with a fixed point theorem in order to show the existence of a weak solution of the Poisson problem of Dirichlet, transmission, or mixed type for the (nonlinear) Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman system with L ∞ coefficients in L 2 -based Sobolev spaces in Lipschitz domains on compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension m ∈ { 2 , 3 } .

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of bounded solutions of the Cauchy problem { u t = u x x + f ( t , u ) , x ∈ R , t > 0 , u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 , x ∈ R , where u 0 is a nonnegative bounded function with compact support and f is a rather general nonlinearity that is periodic in t and satisfies f ( ⋅ , 0 ) = 0 . In the autonomous case where f = f ( u ) , the convergence of every bounded solution to an equilibrium has been established by Du and Matano (2010). However, the presence of periodic forcing makes the problem significantly more difficult, partly because the structure of time periodic solutions is much less understood than that of steady states. In this paper, we first prove that any ω-limit solution is either spatially constant or symmetrically decreasing. Furthermore, we show that the set of ω-limit solutions either consists of a single time-periodic solution or it consists of multiple time-periodic solutions and heteroclinic connections among them. Next, under a mild non-degenerate assumption on the corresponding ODE, we prove that the ω-limit set is a singleton, which implies the solution converges to a time-periodic solution. Lastly, we apply these results to equations with bistable nonlinearity and combustion nonlinearity, and specify more precisely which time-periodic solutions can possibly be selected as the limit.

This paper deals with an interdisciplinary research work between Mathematical sciences and Electrical engineering to develop fractional model of Resistance-Inductance circuit (RL circuit). Authors obtained the analytical solution of this fractional model in terms of Mittag-Leffler function. Graphical interpretation of solution also discussed in this paper.

The aim of this paper is to present some results concerning the problem of minimal projections and extensions. Let X be a reflexive Banach space and let Y be a closed subspace of X of codimension one. Let W be a finite-dimensional Banach space. We present a new sufficient condition under which any minimal extension of an operator A ∈ L ( Y , W ) is strongly unique. In this paper we show (in some circumstances) that if 1 λ ( Y , X ) , then a minimal projection from X onto Y is a strongly unique minimal projection. Moreover, we introduce and study a new geometric property of normed spaces. In this paper we also present a result concerning the strong unicity of best approximation.

Though the boundary layer formation in the chemotactic process has been observed in experiment (cf. [63] ), the mathematical study on the boundary layer solutions of chemotaxis models is just in its infant stage. Apart from the sophisticated theoretical tools involved in the analysis, how to impose/derive physical boundary conditions is a state-of-the-art in studying the boundary layer problem of chemotaxis models. This paper will proceed with a previous work [24] in one dimension to establish the convergence of boundary layer solutions of the Keller–Segel model with singular sensitivity in a two-dimensional space (half-plane) with respect to the chemical diffusion rate denoted by e ≥ 0 . Compared to the one-dimensional boundary layer problem, there are many new issues arising from multi-dimensions such as possible Prandtl type degeneracy, curl-free preservation and well-posedness of large-data solutions. In this paper, we shall derive appropriate physical boundary conditions and gradually overcome these barriers and hence establish the convergence of boundary layer solutions of the singular Keller–Segel system in the half-plane as the chemical diffusion rate vanishes. Specially speaking, we justify that the boundary layer converges to the outer layer (solution with e = 0 ) plus the inner layer as e → 0 , where both outer and inner layer profiles are precisely derived and well understood. By doing this, the structure of boundary layer solutions is clearly characterized. We hope that our results and methods can shed lights on the understanding of underlying mechanisms of the boundary layer patterns observed in the experiment for chemotaxis such as the work by Tuval et al. [63] , and open a new window in the future theoretical study of chemotaxis models.
