The paper is devoted to coverings by translative homothets and illuminations of convex bodies. For a given positive number $\alpha$ and a convex body $B$, $g_{\alpha}(B)$ is the infimum of $\alpha$-powers of finitely many homothety coefficients less than 1 such that there is a covering of $B$ by translative homothets with these coefficients. $h_{\alpha}(B)$ is the minimal number of directions such that the boundary of $B$ can be illuminated by this number of directions except for a subset whose Hausdorff dimension is less than $\alpha$. In this paper, we prove that $g_{\alpha}(B)\leq h_{\alpha}(B)$, find upper and lower bounds for both numbers, and discuss several general conjectures. In particular, we show that $h_{\alpha} (B) > 2^{d-\alpha}$ for almost all $\alpha$ and $d$ when $B$ is the $d$-dimensional cube, thus disproving the conjecture from Research Problems in Discrete Geometry by Brass, Moser, and Pach.

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a $C^1$ domain, or more generally, a Lipschitz domain with small local Lipschitz constant. In this paper it is shown that if $u$ is a function harmonic in $\Omega$ and continuous in $\overline \Omega$ which vanishes in a relatively open subset $\Sigma\subset\partial\Omega$ and moreover the normal derivative $\partial_\nu u$ vanishes in a subset of $\Sigma$ with positive surface measure, then $u$ is identically $0$., Comment: More detailed explanation in some argument involving integration by parts and in Remark 3.3. An additional appendix with a self-contained proof of Lemma 4.3, whose proof was not included in the paper previously

The purpose of this paper is to recommend an iterative scheme to approximate a common element of the solution sets of the split problem of variational inclusions, split generalized equilibrium problem and fixed point problem for non-expansive mappings. We prove that the sequences generated by the recommended iterative scheme strongly converge to a common element of solution sets of stated split problems. In the end, we provide a numerical example to support and justify our main result. The result studied in this paper generalizes and extends some widely recognized results in this direction.

In this paper, the author focuses on the joint effects of diffusion and advection on the dynamics of a classical two species Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion-advection system, where the ratio of diffusion and advection rates are supposed to be a positive constant. For comparison purposes, the two species are assumed to have identical competition abilities throughout this paper. The results explore the condition on the diffusion and advection rates for the stability of former species. Meanwhile, an asymptotic behavior of the stable coexistence steady states is obtained.

In this paper, variational discretization directed against the optimal control problem governed by nonlinear parabolic equations with control constraints is studied. It is known that the a priori error estimates is $|||u-u_h|||_{L^\infty(J; L^2(\Omega))} = O(h+k)$ using backward Euler method for standard finite element. In this paper, the better result $|||u-u_h|||_{L^\infty(J; L^2(\Omega))} = O(h^2+k)$ is gained. Beyond that, we get a posteriori error estimates of residual type.

This paper is dedicated to L p bounds on eigenfunctions of a Schrodinger-type operator ( − Δ g ) α / 2 + V on closed Riemannian manifolds for critically singular potentials V. The operator ( − Δ g ) α / 2 is defined spectrally in terms of the eigenfunctions of − Δ g . We obtain also quasimodes and spectral clusters estimates. As an application, we derive Strichartz estimates for the fractional wave equation ( ∂ t 2 + ( − Δ g ) α / 2 + V ) u = 0 . The wave kernel techniques recently developed by Bourgain-Shao-Sogge-Yao [4] and Shao-Yao [27] play a key role in this paper. We construct a new reproducing operator with several local operators and some good error terms. Moreover, we shall prove that these local operators satisfy certain variable coefficient versions of the “uniform Sobolev estimates” by Kenig-Ruiz-Sogge [18] . These enable us to handle the critically singular potentials V and prove the quasimode estimates.

The study of the Dirichlet problem with arbitrary measurable data for harmonic functions in the unit disk 𝔻 is due to the dissertation of Luzin. Later on, the known monograph of Vekua was devoted to boundary-value problems only with Holder continuous data for generalized analytic functions, i.e., continuous complex-valued functions f(z) of the complex variable z = x + iy with generalized first partial derivatives by Sobolev satisfying equations of the form $$ {\partial}_{\overline{z}}f+ af+b\overline{f}=c, $$ where the complexvalued functions a; b, and c are assumed to belong to the class Lp with some p > 2 in smooth enough domains D in ℂ. Our last paper [12] contained theorems on the existence of nonclassical solutions of the Hilbert boundaryvalue problem with arbitrary measurable data (with respect to logarithmic capacity) for generalized analytic functions f : D → ℂ such that $$ {\partial}_{\overline{z}}f=g $$ with the real-valued sources. On this basis, the corresponding existence theorems were established for the Poincare problem on directional derivatives and, in particular, for the Neumann problem to the Poisson equations △U = G ∈ Lp; p > 2, with arbitrary measurable boundary data over logarithmic capacity. The present paper is a natural continuation of the article [12] and includes, in particular, theorems on the existence of solutions for the Hilbert boundary-value problem with arbitrary measurable data for the corresponding nonlinear equations of the Vekua type $$ {\partial}_{\overline{z}}f(z)=h(z)q\left(f(z)\right). $$ On this basis, existence theorems were also established for the Poincar´e boundary-value problem and, in particular, for the Neumann problem for the nonlinear Poisson equations of the form △U(z) = H(z)Q(U(z)) with arbitrary measurable boundary data over logarithmic capacity. The Dirichlet problem was investigated by us for the given equations, too. Our approach is based on the interpretation of boundary values in the sense of angular (along nontangential paths) limits that are a conventional tool of the geometric function theory. As consequences, we give applications to some concrete semi-linear equations of mathematical physics arising from modelling various physical processes. Those results can also be applied to semi-linear equations of mathematical physics in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media.

In their 2012 paper, Bobadilla and Koll\'ar studied topological conditions which guarantee that a proper map of complex algebraic varieties is a topological or differentiable fibration. They also asked whether a certain finiteness property on the relative covering space can imply that a proper map is a fibration. In this paper, we answer positively the integral homology version of their question in the case of abelian varieties, and the rational homology version in the case of compact ball quotients. We also propose several conjectures in relation to the Singer-Hopf conjecture in the complex projective setting., Comment: published/final version

In this paper we propose a new approach to the construction of quadrature formulas of interpolation rational type on an interval. In the introduction, a brief analysis of the results on the topic of the research is carried out. Most attention is paid to the works of mathematicians of the Belarusian school on approximation theory – Gauss, Lobatto, and Radau quadrature formulas with nodes at the zeros of the rational Chebyshev – Markov fractions. Rational fractions on the segment, generalizing the classical orthogonal Jacobi polynomials with one weight, are defined, and some of their properties are described. One of the main results of this paper consists in constructing quadrature formulas with nodes at zeros of the introduced rational fractions, calculating their coefficients in an explicit form, and estimating the remainder. This result is preceded by some auxiliary statements describing the properties of special rational functions. Classical methods of mathematical analysis, approximation theory, and the theory of functions of a complex variable are used for proof. In the conclusion a numerical analysis of the efficiency of the constructed quadrature formulas is carried out. Meanwhile, the choice of the parameters on which the nodes of the quadrature formulas depend is made in several standard ways. The obtained results can be applied for further research of rational quadrature formulas, as well as in numerical analysis.

This paper is devoted to exact (in the sense of the order of smallness) estimates of the best rational approximations of functions with derivative of generalized finite variation on a finite segment of a straight line in uniform and integral metrics. The obtained results were announced in the authors' paper in 2014. They are analogous to the results of the first author, where A. Khatamov establishes exact (in the sense of the order of smallness) estimates of the best spline approximations of functions with derivative of generalized finite variation on a finite segment of a straight line in uniform and integral metrics. Results announced by the authors in 2014 generalize those obtained by N.Sh. Zagirov in 1982, namely, exact (in the sense of the order of smallness) estimates of rational approximations of functions with generalized finite variation in the integral metric, to the best rational approximations of functions with derivative of generalized finite variation on a finite segment in uniform and integral metrics. Generally speaking, the calculation of exact (in the sense of the order of smallness) estimates for the best approximations for any class of functions in any metric is a difficult problem.

The renormalization group method has been developed to investigate p-adic q-state Potts models on the Cayley tree of order k. This method is closely related to the examination of dynamical behavior of the p-adic Potts–Bethe mapping which depends on the parameters q, k. In Mukhamedov and Khakimov [Chaotic behavior of the p-adic Potts–Behte mapping. Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst.38 (2018), 231–245], we have considered the case when q is not divisible by p and, under some conditions, it was established that the mapping is conjugate to the full shift on $\kappa _p$ symbols (here $\kappa _p$ is the greatest common factor of k and $p-1$ ). The present paper is a continuation of the forementioned paper, but here we investigate the case when q is divisible by p and k is arbitrary. We are able to fully describe the dynamical behavior of the p-adic Potts–Bethe mapping by means of a Markov partition. Moreover, the existence of a Julia set is established, over which the mapping exhibits a chaotic behavior. We point out that a similar result is not known in the case of real numbers (with rigorous proofs).

This paper presents sufficient conditions for a substitution tiling dynamical system of $\mathbb {R}^2$ , generated by a generalized substitution on three letters, to be topologically mixing. These conditions are shown to hold on a large class of tiling substitutions originally presented by Kenyon in 1996. This problem was suggested by Boris Solomyak, and many of the techniques that are used in this paper are based on the work by Kenyon, Sadun, and Solomyak [Topological mixing for substitutions on two letters. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.25(6) (2005), 1919–1934]. They studied one-dimensional tiling dynamical systems generated by substitutions on two letters and provided similar conditions sufficient to ensure that one-dimensional substitution tiling dynamical systems are topologically mixing. If a tiling dynamical system of $\mathbb {R}^2$ satisfies our conditions (and thus is topologically mixing), we can construct additional topologically mixing tiling dynamical systems of $\mathbb {R}^2$ . By considering the stepped surface constructed from a tiling $T_\sigma $ , we can get a new tiling of $\mathbb {R}^2$ by projecting the surface orthogonally onto an irrational plane through the origin.

In this paper, uniformly most powerful unbiased test for testing the stress-strength model has been presented for the first time. The end of the paper is recommending a method which is appropriate for no large data where a normal asymptotic distribution is not applicable. The previous methods for inference on stress-strength models use almost all the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators. The distribution of components is considered exponential and generalized logistic. A corresponding unbiased confidence interval is constructed, too. We compare presented methodology with previous methods and show the method of this paper is logically better than other methods. Interesting result is that our recommended method not only uses from small sample size but also has better result than other ones.

In 1993, Shub and Smale posed the problem of finding a sequence of univariate polynomials of degree $N$ with condition number bounded above by $N$. In a previous paper by C. Belt\'an, U. Etayo, J. Marzo and J. Ortega-Cerd\`a, it was proved that the optimal value of the condition number is of the form $O(\sqrt{N})$, and the sequence demanded by Shub and Smale was described by a closed formula (for large enough $N\geqslant N_0$ with $N_0$ unknown) and by a search algorithm for the rest of the cases. In this paper we find concrete estimates for the constant hidden in the $O(\sqrt{N})$ term and we describe a simple formula for a sequence of polynomials whose condition number is at most $N$, valid for all $N=4M^2$, with $M$ a positive integer., Comment: 21 pages

We give a decomposition of the equivariant Kasparov category for discrete quantum group with torsions. As an outcome, we show that the crossed product by a discrete quantum group in a certain class preserves the UCT. We then show that quasidiagonality of a reduced C*-algebra of a countable discrete quantum group $\Gamma$ implies that $\Gamma$ is amenable, and deduce from the work of Tikuisis, White and Winter, and the results in the first part of the paper, the converse (i.e. the quantum Rosenberg Conjecture) for a large class of countable discrete unimodular quantum groups. We also note that the unimodularity is a necessary condition., Comment: 15 pages, v2 corrects a few minor points. The final version of the paper will appear in the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society

This paper is a continuation of a series of papers devoted to the numerical solution of integral equations using local interpolation splines. The main focus is given to the use of splines of the fourth order of approximation. The features of the application of the polynomial and non-polynomial splines of the fourth order of approximation to the solution of Volterra integral equation of the second kind are discussed. In addition to local splines of the Lagrangian type, integro-differential splines are also used to construct computational schemes. The comparison of the solutions obtained by different methods is carried out. The results of the numerical experiments are presented.

In this paper the authors introduce an analogue of the nilpotent cone, N {\mathcal N} , for a classical Lie superalgebra, g {\mathfrak g} , that generalizes the definition for the nilpotent cone for semisimple Lie algebras. For a classical simple Lie superalgebra, g = g 0 ¯ ⊕ g 1 ¯ {\mathfrak g}={\mathfrak g}_{\bar 0}\oplus {\mathfrak g}_{\bar 1} with Lie G 0 ¯ = g 0 ¯ \text {Lie }G_{\bar 0}={\mathfrak g}_{\bar 0} , it is shown that there are finitely many G 0 ¯ G_{\bar 0} -orbits on N {\mathcal N} . Later the authors prove that the Duflo-Serganova commuting variety, X {\mathcal X} , is contained in N {\mathcal N} for any classical simple Lie superalgebra. Consequently, our finiteness result generalizes and extends the work of Duflo-Serganova on the commuting variety. Further applications are given at the end of the paper.

The mean curvature-based image deblurring model is widely used to enhance the quality of the deblurred images. However, the discretization of the associated Euler-Lagrange equations produce a nonlinear ill-conditioned system which affect the convergence of the numerical algorithms like Krylov subspace methods. To overcome this difficulty, in this paper, we present two new symmetric positive definite (SPD) preconditioners. An efficient algorithm is presented for the mean curvature-based image deblurring problem which combines a fixed point iteration (FPI) with new preconditioned matrices to handle the nonlinearity and ill-conditioned nature of the large system. The eigenvalues analysis is also presented in the paper. Fast convergence has shown in the numerical results by using the proposed new preconditioners.

In the paper we study the question of the solvability and unique solvability of systems of the higher order differential equations with the argument deviations \begin{equation*} u_i^{(m_i)}(t)=p_i(t)u_{i+1}(\tau _{i}(t))+ q_i(t), (i=\overline {1, n}), \text {for $t\in I:=[a, b]$}, \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*}u_i^{(m_i)} (t)=F_{i}(u)(t)+q_{0i}(t), (i = \overline {1, n}), \text {for $ t\in I$}, \end{equation*} under the conjugate $u_i^{(j_1-1)}(a)=a_{i j_1}$, $u_i^{(j_2-1)}(b)=b_{i j_2}$, $j_1=\overline {1, k_i}$, $j_2=\overline {1, m_i-k_i}$, $i=\overline {1, n}$, and the right-focal $u_i^{(j_1-1)}(a)=a_{i j_1}$, $u_i^{(j_2-1)}(b)=b_{i j_2}$, $j_1=\overline {1, k_i}$, $j_2=\overline {k_i+1,m_i}$, $i=\overline {1, n}$, boundary conditions, where $u_{n+1}=u_1, $ $n\geq 2, $ $m_i\geq 2, $ $p_i \in L_{\infty }(I; R), $ $q_i, q_{0i}\in L(I; R), $ $\tau _i\colon I\to I$ are the measurable functions, $F_i$ are the local Caratheodory's class operators, and $k_i$ is the integer part of the number $m_i/2$.In the paper are obtained the efficient sufficient conditions that guarantee the unique solvability of the linear problems and take into the account explicitly the effect of argument deviations, and on the basis of these results are proved new conditions of the solvability and unique solvability for the nonlinear problems.

Multiplicative constants are a fundamental tool in the study of maximal representations. In this paper we show how to extend such notion, and the associated framework, to measurable cocycles theory. As an application of this approach, we define and study the Cartan invariant for measurable $\textup{PU}(m,1)$-cocycles of complex hyperbolic lattices., Comment: 35 pages; Major corrections along the paper following the referee's suggestions.

The paper is devoted to the construction of an “integral” on an infinite-dimensional space, combining the approaches proposed previously and at the same time the simplest. A new definition of the construction and study its properties on a special class of functionals is given. An introduction of a quasi-scalar product, an orthonormal system, and applications in physics (path integral, loop space, functional derivative) are proposed. In addition, the paper contains a discussion of generalized functionals.

In this paper different lows of probability for finite groups were introduced and used for proving two important results. \begin{enumerate} \item For any finite group $G$ of order $pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are prime and $p>q$, there exists exactly one subgroup of order $p$ in $G$. \item If $G$ is a finite group of order $2p$ and $p>2$, then $G$ must have exactly one group of order $p$. \end{enumerate} This paper also investigates the use of probability lows in finite groups problems with some other example and further investigation.

In this paper, an efficient multiscale finite element method via local defect-correction technique is developed. This method is used to solve the Schrödinger eigenvalue problem with three-dimensional domain. First, this paper considers a three-dimensional bounded spherical region, which is the truncation of a three-dimensional unbounded region. Using polar coordinate transformation, we successfully transform the three-dimensional problem into a series of one-dimensional eigenvalue problems. These one-dimensional eigenvalue problems also bring singularity. Second, using local refinement technique, we establish a new multiscale finite element discretization method. The scheme can correct the defects repeatedly on the local refinement grid, which can solve the singularity problem efficiently. Finally, the error estimates of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are also proved. Numerical examples show that our numerical method can significantly improve the accuracy of eigenvalues.

PurposeIn the present paper, the authors will discuss the solvability of a class of nonlinear anisotropic elliptic problems (P), with the presence of a lower-order term and a non-polynomial growth which does not satisfy any sign condition which is described by an N-uplet of N-functions satisfying the Δ2-condition, within the fulfilling of anisotropic Sobolev-Orlicz space. In addition, the resulting analysis requires the development of some new aspects of the theory in this field. The source term is merely integrable.Design/methodology/approachAn approximation procedure and some priori estimates are used to solve the problem.FindingsThe authors prove the existence of entropy solutions to unilateral problem in the framework of anisotropic Sobolev-Orlicz space with bounded domain. The resulting analysis requires the development of some new aspects of the theory in this field.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that investigates the existence of entropy solutions to unilateral problem in the framework of anisotropic Sobolev-Orlicz space with bounded domain.

In this paper, we consider the Laplace operator in a flat band whose lower boundary periodically oscillates under the Dirichlet boundary condition. The period and the amplitude of oscillations are two independent small parameters. The main result obtained in the paper is the absence of internal lacunas in the lower part of the spectrum of the operator for sufficiently small period and amplitude. We obtain explicit upper estimates of the period and amplitude in the form of constraints with specific numerical constants. The length of the lower part of the spectrum, in which the absence of lacunas is guaranteed, is also expressed explicitly in terms of the period function and the amplitude.

Author(s): Bamler, Richard H; Kleiner, Bruce | Abstract: In a recent paper, Brendle showed the uniqueness of the Bryant soliton among 3-dimensional $\kappa$-solutions. In this paper, we present an alternative proof for this fact and show that compact $\kappa$-solutions are rotational symmetric. Our proof arose from independent work relating to our Strong Stability Theorem for singular Ricci flows.

In this paper we consider an optimal control problem governed by a space-time fractional diffusion equation with non-homogeneous initial conditions. A spectral method is proposed to discretize the problem in both time and space directions. The contribution of the paper is threefold: (1) A discussion and better understanding of the initial conditions for fractional differential equations with Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives are presented. (2) A posteriori error estimates are obtained for both the state and the control approximations. (3) Numerical experiments are performed to verify that the obtained a posteriori error estimates are reliable.

In a recent paper [JUKIĆ, D.: A necessary and sufficient criterion for the existence of the global minima of a continuous lower bounded function on a noncompact set, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 375 (2020)], a new existence level was introduced and then was used to obtain a necessary and sufficient criterion for the existence of the global minima of a continuous lower bounded function on a noncompact set. In this paper, we determined that existence level for the residual sum of squares of the power-law regression with an unknown location parameter, and so we obtained a necessary and sufficient condition which guarantee the existence of the least squares estimate.

Since the second half of the twentieth century, wide studies of Sobolev-type equations are undertaken. These equations contain items that are derivatives with respect to time of the second order derivatives of the unknown function with respect to space variables. They can describe nonstationary processes in semiconductors, in plasm, phenomena in hydrodinamics and other ones. Notice that wide studies of qualitative properties of solutions of Sobolev-type equations exist. Namely, results about existence and uniqueness of solutions, their asymptotics and blow-up are known. But there are few results about exact solutions of Sobolev-type equations. There are books and papers about exact solutions of partial equations, but they are devoted mainly to classical equations, where the first or second order derivative with respect to time or the derivative with respect to time of the first order derivative of the unknown function with respect to the space variable is equal to a stationary expression. Therefore it is interesting to study exact solutions of Sobolev-type equations. In the present paper, a third order nonlinear partial equation containing a $$p$$ -Laplacian is studied. Six classes of its exact solutions are built. They are expressed in terms of elementary functions, quadratures and special functions (solutions of some ordinary differential equations).

In this paper, we formulate mathematical foundations of applications of boundary integral equations with strongly singular integrals understood in the sense of finite Hadamard value to numerical solution of certain boundary-value problems. We describe numerical schemes for solving boundary strongly singular equations based on quadrature formulas and the collocation method. Also, we make references to known results on the mathematical justification of the numerical methods described in the paper.

The study of the Dirichlet problem in the unit disk 𝔻 with arbitrary measurable data for harmonic functions is due to the famous dissertation of Luzin [31]. Later on, the known monograph of Vekua [48] has been devoted to boundary-value problems (only with Holder continuous data) for the generalized analytic functions, i.e., continuous complex valued functions h(z) of the complex variable z = x + iy with generalized first partial derivatives by Sobolev satisfying equations of the form 𝜕zh + ah + b $$ \overline{h} $$ = c ; where it was assumed that the complex valued functions a; b and c belong to the class Lp with some p > 2 in smooth enough domains D in ℂ. The present paper is a natural continuation of our previous articles on the Riemann, Hilbert, Dirichlet, Poincar´e and, in particular, Neumann boundary-value problems for quasiconformal, analytic, harmonic, and the so-called A−harmonic functions with boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. Here, we extend the corresponding results to the generalized analytic functions h : D → ℂ with the sources g : 𝜕zh = g ∈ Lp, p > 2 , and to generalized harmonic functions U with sources G : △U = G ∈ Lp, p > 2. This paper contains various theorems on the existence of nonclassical solutions of the Riemann and Hilbert boundary-value problems with arbitrary measurable (with respect to logarithmic capacity) data for generalized analytic functions with sources. Our approach is based on the geometric (theoretic-functional) interpretation of boundary-values in comparison with the classical operator approach in PDE. On this basis, it is established the corresponding existence theorems for the Poincar´e problem on directional derivatives and, in particular, for the Neumann problem to the Poisson equations △U = G with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. These results can be also applied to semilinear equations of mathematical physics in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media.

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.

We fill in a gap in the proof of the main theorem in our earlier paper [Ol]. At the same time, we prove a slightly stronger version of the theorem needed for another paper.

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.

PurposeIn this paper, the authors applied the empirical likelihood method, which was originally proposed by Owen, to the copula moment based estimation methods to take advantage of its properties, effectiveness, flexibility and reliability of the nonparametric methods, which have limiting chi-square distributions and may be used to obtain tests or confidence intervals. The authors derive an asymptotically normal estimator of the empirical likelihood based on copula moment estimation methods (ELCM). Finally numerical performance with a simulation experiment of ELCM estimator is studied and compared to the CM estimator, with a good result.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper we applied the empirical likelihood method which originally proposed by Owen, to the copula moment based estimation methods.FindingsWe derive an asymptotically normal estimator of the empirical likelihood based on copula moment estimation methods (ELCM).

The aim of this paper is to fill in the gaps in the formulation and the proof of a theorem contained in the paper by K.Ozeki (Aequ Math 25:247–252, 1982) published in this journal. We also give a short proof of this theorem and use it to obtain certain information about the factorization of polynomials of the form $$f(x)-f(y)$$ .

We continue our exploration of various approaches to integration of representations from a Lie algebra $\mbox{Lie} (G)$ to an algebraic group $G$ in positive characteristic. In the present paper we concentrate on an approach exploiting exponentials. This approach works well for over-restricted representations, introduced in this paper, and takes no note of $G$-stability., Accepted by Transactions of the AMS. This paper is split off the earlier versions (1, 2 and 3) of arXiv:1708.06620. Some of the statements in these versions of arXiv:1708.06620 contain mistakes corrected here. Version 2 of this paper: close to the accepted version by the journal, minor improvements, compared to Version 1

In this paper, we characterize that the boundedness, compactness and spectral structure of dual Toeplitz operators acting on the orthogonal complement of the harmonic Bergman space. This generalizes the corresponding results for dual Toeplitz operators on the orthogonal complement of the Bergman space due to Stroethoff and Zheng’s paper [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 354, 2495–2520 (2002)].

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 show that, after completing in the $I$-adic topology, the Turaev cobracket on the vector space freely generated by the closed geodesics on a smooth, complex algebraic curve $X$ with an algebraic framing is a morphism of mixed Hodge structure. We combine this with results of a previous paper (arXiv:1710.06053) on the Goldman bracket to construct torsors of solutions of the Kashiwara--Vergne problem in all genera. The solutions so constructed form a torsor under a prounipotent group that depends only on the topology of the framed surface. We give a partial presentation of these groups. Along the way, we give a homological description of the Turaev cobracket.

In the present paper we describe the family of all closed convex plane curves of class $$C^1$$ C 1 which have circles as their isoptics. In the first part of the paper we give a certain characterization of all ellipses based on the notion of isoptic and we give a geometric characterization of curves whose orthoptics are circles. The second part of the paper contains considerations on curves which have circles as their isoptics and we show the form of support functions of all considered curves.

This paper deals with a class of singular problems involving the fractional $$p(x,\cdot )$$ -Laplace operator of the form $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta )^{s}_{p(x,\cdot )}u(x)= \frac{\lambda }{u^{\gamma (x)}}+u^{q(x)-1} &{} \hbox {in }\Omega , \\ u>0, \;\;\text {in}\;\; \Omega &{} \hbox {} \\ u=0 \;\;\text {on}\;\;{\mathbb {R}}^N\setminus \Omega , &{} \hbox {} \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ where $$\Omega $$ is a smooth bounded domain in $${\mathbb {R}}^N$$ ( $$N\ge 3$$ ), $$00$$ small enough. To our best knowledge, this paper is one of the first attempts in the study of singular problems involving fractional $$p(x,\cdot )$$ -Laplace operators.

Solid codes can be used in information transmission over a noisy channel because they have remarkable synchronization and error-detecting capabilities in the presence of noise. In this paper, we focus on combinatoric properties of solid codes. We begin by characterizing solid codes by means of infix codes and unbordered words. Then, we discuss the decomposition of solid codes (in particular, the maximal solid codes). And finally, we investigate several properties of the products of the solid codes and some other kinds of codes. Our results given in this paper significantly enrich the theory of solid codes.

In this paper, we study a problem posed by Furstenberg on intersections between × 2 , × 3 \times 2, \times 3 invariant sets. We present here a direct geometrical counting argument to revisit a theorem of Wu and Shmerkin. This argument can be used to obtain further improvements. For example, we show that if A 2 , A 3 ⊂ [ 0 , 1 ] A_2,A_3\subset [0,1] are closed and × 2 , × 3 \times 2, \times 3 invariant respectively, assuming that dim ⁡ A 2 + dim ⁡ A 3 > 1 \dim A_2+\dim A_3>1 then A 2 ∩ ( u A 3 + v ) A_2\cap (uA_3+v) is sparse (defined in this paper) and has box dimension zero uniformly with respect to the real parameters u , v u,v such that u u and u − 1 u^{-1} are both bounded away from 0 0 .

In this paper, we study random Blaschke products, acting on the unit circle, and consider the cocycle of Perron-Frobenius operators acting on Banach spaces of analytic functions on an annulus. We completely describe the Lyapunov spectrum of these cocycles. As a corollary, we obtain a simple random Blaschke product system where the Perron-Frobenius cocycle has infinitely many distinct Lyapunov exponents, but where arbitrarily small natural perturbations cause a complete collapse of the Lyapunov spectrum, except for the exponent 0 associated with the absolutely continuous invariant measure. That is, under perturbations, the Lyapunov exponents become 0 with multiplicity 1, and $-\infty$ with infinite multiplicity. This is superficially similar to the finite-dimensional phenomenon, discovered by Bochi \cite{Bochi-thesis}, that away from the uniformly hyperbolic setting, small perturbations can lead to a collapse of the Lyapunov spectrum to zero. In this paper, however, the cocycle and its perturbation are explicitly described; and further, the mechanism for collapse is quite different. We study stability of the Perron-Frobenius cocycles arising from general random Blaschke products. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for stability of the Lyapunov spectrum in terms of the derivative of the random Blaschke product at its random fixed point, and use this to show that an open dense set of Blaschke product cocycles have hyperbolic Perron-Frobenius cocycles. In the final part, we prove a relationship between the Lyapunov spectrum of a single cocycle acting on two different Banach spaces, allowing us to draw conclusions for the same cocycles acting on $C^r$ functions spaces.

We consider a nonlinear integro-differential equation with zero operator in the differential part whose integral operator contains several rapidly varying kernels. This paper continues the research carried out earlier for equations with only one rapidly varying kernel. We prove that the conditions for the solvability of the corresponding iteration problems, as in the linear case, are not differential (as in problems with nonzero operator in the differential part) but rather integro-differential equations, and the structure of these equations is substantially influenced by the nonlinearity. In the nonlinear case, so-called resonances can arise, significantly complicating the development of the corresponding algorithm of the regularization method. The paper deals with the nonresonant case.

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 is a survey of results on countable families with natural degree spectra. These results were obtained by a modification of the methodology proposed by Wechner, who first found a family of sets with the spectrum consisting precisely of nonzero Turing degrees. Based on this method, many researchers obtained examples of families with other natural spectra. In addition, in this paper we extend these results and present new examples of natural spectra. In particular, we construct a family of finite sets with the spectrum consisting of exactly non-K-trivial degrees and also we find new sufficient conditions on $$ {\Delta}_2^0 $$ -degree a, which guarantees that the class {x : x ≰ a} is the degree spectrum of some family. Finally, we give a survey of our recent results on the degree spectra of α-families, where α is an arbitrary computable ordinal.

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.
