From spline theory it is well-known that univariate cubic spline interpolation, if carried out in its natural Hilbert space W 2 2 [ a , b ] and on point sets with fill distance h , converges only like O ( h 2 ) in L 2 [ a , b ] if no additional assumptions are made. But superconvergence up to order h 4 occurs if more smoothness is assumed and if certain additional boundary conditions are satisfied. This phenomenon was generalized in 1999 to multivariate interpolation in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces on domains Ω ⊂ R d for continuous positive definite Fourier-transformable shift-invariant kernels on R d . But the sufficient condition for superconvergence given in 1999 still needs further analysis, because the interplay between smoothness and boundary conditions is not clear at all. Furthermore, if only additional smoothness is assumed, superconvergence is numerically observed in the interior of the domain, but a theoretical foundation still is a challenging open problem. This paper first generalizes the “improved error bounds” of 1999 by an abstract theory that includes the Aubin–Nitsche trick and the known superconvergence results for univariate polynomial splines. Then the paper analyzes what is behind the sufficient conditions for superconvergence. They split into conditions on smoothness and localization, and these are investigated independently. If sufficient smoothness is present, but no additional localization conditions are assumed, it is numerically observed that superconvergence always occurs in the interior of the domain, and some supporting arguments are provided. If smoothness and localization interact in the kernel-based case on R d , weak and strong boundary conditions in terms of pseudodifferential operators occur. A special section on Mercer expansions is added, because Mercer eigenfunctions always satisfy the sufficient conditions for superconvergence. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical findings.

In this paper, we present and analyze a prey-predator system, in which prey species can be infected with some disease. The model presented in this paper is motivated from D. Mukherjee’s model in which he has considered an SI model for the prey species. There are substantial evidences that infected individuals have the ability to recover from the disease if vaccinated/ treated properly. In this regard, Mukherjee’s model is modified by considering SIS model for prey species. Theoretical and numerical simulations show that the recovery of infected prey species plays a crucial role in eliminating the limit cycle oscillations and thus making the interior equilibrium point stable. The possibility of Hopf bifurcation around non zero equilibrium point using the recovery rate as a bifurcation parameter, is discussed. Further, the model is extended by incorporating the harvesting of predator population. A monitory agency has been introduced which monitors the exploitation of resources by implementing certain taxes for each unit biomass of the predator population. The main purpose of the present research is to explore the effect of recovery rate of prey on the dynamics of the system and to optimize the total economical net profits from harvesting of predator species, taking taxation as control parameter.

This paper is concerned with the time-step condition of linearized implicit finite difference method for solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an angular momentum rotation term. Unlike the existing studies in the literature, where the cut-off function technique was used to establish the error estimates under some conditions of the time-step size, this paper introduces an induction argument and a ‘lifting’ technique as well as some useful inequalities to build the optimal maximum error estimate without any constraints on the time-step size. The analysis method can be directly extended to the general nonlinear Schrodinger-type equations in twoand three-dimensions and other linear implicit finite difference schemes. As a by-product, this paper defines a new type of energy functional of the grid functions by using a recursive relation to prove that the proposed scheme preserves well the total mass and energy in the discrete sense. Several numerical results are reported to verify the error estimates and conservation laws.

In this paper we present a derivation of the surface Helmholtz decomposition, discuss its relation to the surface Hodge decomposition and derive a well-posed stream function formulation of a class of surface Stokes problems. We consider a $C^2$ connected (not necessarily simply connected) oriented hypersurface $\varGamma \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ without boundary. The surface gradient, divergence, curl and Laplace operators are defined in terms of the standard differential operators of the ambient Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$. These representations are very convenient for the implementation of numerical methods for surface partial differential equations. We introduce surface $\mathbf H({\mathop{\rm div}}_{\varGamma})$ and $\mathbf H({\mathop{\rm curl}}_{\varGamma})$ spaces and derive useful properties of these spaces. A main result of the paper is the derivation of the Helmholtz decomposition, in terms of these surface differential operators, based on elementary differential calculus. As a corollary of this decomposition we obtain that for a simply connected surface to every tangential divergence-free velocity field there corresponds a unique scalar stream function. Using this result the variational form of the surface Stokes equation can be reformulated as a well-posed variational formulation of a fourth-order equation for the stream function. The latter can be rewritten as two coupled second-order equations, which form the basis for a finite element discretization. A particular finite element method is explained and the results of a numerical experiment with this method are presented.

The first part of this paper considers the controllability for a functional semilinear differential inclusion governed by a family of operators { A ( t ) : t ∈ [ 0 , b ] } generating an evolution operator in a Banach space in the presence of noninstantaneous impulse effects. In the second part of this paper we study the controllability for a fractional noninstantaneous impulsive semilinear differential inclusion with delay, where the linear part is an infinitesimal generator of a C 0 − semigroup. Using a weakly convergent criterion in the space of piecewise continuous functions and weak topology theory (for weak sequentially closed graph operators) we establish sufficient conditions to guarantee controllability results. Examples are given to illustrate the abstract results.

In this paper, by employing Ricceri variational principle, we prove the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for fourth-order problems depending on two real parameters. We also provide some particular cases and a concrete example in order to illustrate the main abstract results of this paper.

This paper deals with the existence of multiple solutions for the quasilinear equation − div A ( x , ∇ u ) + V ( x ) | u | α ( x ) − 2 u = f ( x , u ) in R N , which involves a general variable exponent elliptic operator in divergence form. The problem corresponds to double phase anisotropic phenomena, in the sense that the differential operator has behaviors like | ξ | q ( x ) − 2 ξ for small | ξ | and like | ξ | p ( x ) − 2 ξ for large | ξ | , where 1 α ( ⋅ ) ≤ p ( ⋅ ) q ( ⋅ ) N . Our aim is to approach variationally the problem by using the tools of critical points theory in generalized Orlicz–Sobolev spaces with variable exponent. Our results extend the previous works A. Azzollini et al. (2014) [4] and N. Chorfi and V. Radulescu (2016) [11] from cases where the exponents p and q are constant, to the case where p ( ⋅ ) and q ( ⋅ ) are functions. We also substantially weaken some of the hypotheses in these papers and we overcome the lack of compactness by using the Cerami compactness condition.

The aim of this paper is to consider the relation between $$\mathsf {Lie}$$-isoclinism and isomorphism of two pairs of Leibniz algebras. We show that, unlike the absolute case for finite dimensional Lie algebras, these concepts are not identical, even if the pairs of Leibniz algebras are $$\mathsf {Lie}$$-stem. Moreover, throughout the paper, we provide some conditions under which $$\mathsf {Lie}$$-isoclinism and isomorphism of $$\mathsf {Lie}$$-stem Leibniz algebras are equal. In order to get this equality, the concept of factor set is studied as well.

This paper continues ongoing investigations into questions initiated by seventeenth-century experiments of Mariotte on mutual attractions and repulsions of floating objects, later reformulated mathematically by Laplace in the context of idealized surface tension theory. The characteristic nonlinearity in the governing equations imposes restrictions on behavior of solutions as graphs in the Laplace model, to the effect that a priori relations connecting height and inclination of a presumed surface interface occur, severely restricting the heights that can be achieved by solution curves. We develop below some relevant consequences of that phenomenon. The initial section provides general (perhaps inadequate) background, characterizes global qualitative behavior of all solutions of the underlying equations, and elucidates the significant distinctions in behavior that occur for solutions over an interval that extends unboundedly in one base direction. The section next following presents a non-existence result ensuing from the limitations imposed on such solutions (this result is elaborated in the Appendix). Next follow individual properties of general solutions. The remainder of the paper addresses the forces arising between partially submerged bodies. Theorem 6 offers an alternative derivation of a discovery due to Aspley, He, and McCuan, which displays a remarkable identification of net horizontal force with a first integral of the basic equations. These relations simplify significantly some earlier literature; additionally, as indicated in Section 5, they open the way to consideration of a much larger class of partially immersed objects than appears in the Laplace formulation. We complete Section 5 with an illustrative example in a particular case, indicative of a general study currently underway.

In this paper, we show the existence of a weak solution to the Maxwell–Stokes type equation with a potential satisfying the Dirichlet condition, under the hypothesis that the domain has no holes, using a version of the de Rham lemma that was proved in our previous paper. We also give the regularity of weak solutions.

This paper develops the analytical conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of a second-order,time-delayed, discontinuous dynamical system. A sample model consists of two linear delayed sub-systems with a switching boundary. The defined G-functions for the delayed, discontinuous systems are introduced, and sufficient and necessary conditions for a flow crossing, sliding and grazing along the switch boundary are developed for such a delayed, discontinuous system. Furthermore, nine (9) regular basic mappings in phase plane and thirty-three (33) delay-related mappings for the second-order, time-delayed, discontinuous systems are classified. Constraint equations are predicted analytically for two periodic orbits with initial functions provided posteriorly. Finally, three numerical examples are illustrated to verify the existence of generalized slowly oscillating periodic orbits without and with sliding portions. This paper improves and extends motion switchability conditions at the boundary in discontinuous dynamical systems without delay.

In this paper, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition of the pre-compact sets in the variable exponent Lebesgue spaces, which is also called the Riesz-Kolmogorov theorem. The main novelty appearing in this approach is the constructive approximation which does not rely on the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator in the considered spaces such that we do not need the log-Holder continuous conditions on the variable exponent. As applications, we establish the boundedness of Riemann-Liouville integral operators and prove the compactness of truncated Riemann-Liouville integral operators in the variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. Moreover, applying the Riesz-Kolmogorov theorem established in this paper, we obtain the existence and the uniqueness of solutions to a Cauchy type problem for fractional differential equations in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.

This paper concerns the adaptive finite element method for elliptic Dirichlet boundary control problems in the energy space. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we rigorously derive efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimates for finite element approximations of Dirichlet boundary control problems. As a by-product, a priori error estimates are derived in a simple way by introducing appropriate auxiliary problems and establishing certain norm equivalence. Secondly, for the coupled elliptic partial differential system that resulted from the first-order optimality system, we prove that the sequence of adaptively generated discrete solutions including the control, the state and the adjoint state, guided by our newly derived a posteriori error indicators, converges to the true solution along with the convergence of the error estimators. We give some numerical results to confirm our theoretical findings.

The main aim of this paper is to obtain Maia type fixed point results for Ćirić-Prešić contraction condition, following Ćirić L. B. and Prešić S. B. result proved in [Ćirić L. B.; Prešić S. B. On Prešić type generalization of the Banach contraction mapping principle, Acta Math. Univ. Comenian. (N.S.), 2007, v 76, no. 2, 143–147] and Luong N. V. and Thuan N. X. result in [Luong, N. V., Thuan, N. X., Some fixed point theorems of Prešić-Ćirić type, Acta Univ. Apulensis Math. Inform., No. 30, (2012), 237–249]. We unified these theorems with Maia’s fixed point theorem proved in [Maia, Maria Grazia. Un’osservazione sulle contrazioni metriche. (Italian) Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 40 1968 139–143] and the obtained results are proved is the present paper. An example is also provided.

This paper is devoted to the study of a nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli Beam type equation involving both left and right Caputo fractional derivatives. Differently from the approaches of the other papers where they established the existence of solution for the linear Euler-Bernoulli Beam type equation numerically, we use the lower and upper solutions method with some new results on the monotonicity of the right Caputo derivative. Furthermore, we give the explicit expression of the upper and lower solutions. A numerical example is given to illustrate the obtained results.

This paper provides a unified error analysis for nonconforming space discretizations of linear wave equations in the time domain. We propose a framework that studies wave equations as first-order evolution equations in Hilbert spaces and their space discretizations as differential equations in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. A lift operator maps the semidiscrete solution from the approximation space to the continuous space. Our main results are a priori error bounds in terms of interpolation, data and conformity errors of the method. Such error bounds are the key to the systematic derivation of convergence rates for a large class of problems. To show that this approach significantly eases the proof of new convergence rates, we apply it to an isoparametric finite element discretization of the wave equation with acoustic boundary conditions in a smooth domain. Moreover, our results reproduce known convergence rates for already investigated conforming and nonconforming space discretizations in a concise and unified way. The examples discussed in this paper comprise discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of Maxwell’s equations and finite elements with mass lumping for the acoustic wave equation.

In this paper we focus on the analysis of energy-preserving schemes for solving high-dimensional nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations. A novel energy-preserving scheme is developed based on the discrete gradient method and the Duhamel principle. The local error, global convergence and nonlinear stability of the new scheme are analysed in detail. Numerical experiments are implemented to compare with existing numerical methods in the literature, and the numerical results show the remarkable efficiency of the new energy-preserving scheme presented in this paper.

The paper deals with research of convergence for one of the generalizations of continued fractions -- branched continued fractions of the special form with two branches. Such branched continued fractions, similarly as the two-dimensional continued fractions and the branched continued fractions with two independent variables are connected with the problem of the correspondence between a formal double power series and a sequence of the rational approximants of a function of two variables. Unlike continued fractions, approximants of which are constructed unambiguously, there are many ways to construct approximants of branched continued fractions of the general and the special form. The paper examines the ordinary approximants and one of the structures of figured approximants of the studied branched continued fractions, which is connected with the problem of correspondence. We consider some properties of approximants of such fractions, whose partial numerators are positive and alternating-sign and partial denominators are equal to one. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for figured convergence are established. It is proved that under these conditions from the convergence of the sequence of figured approximants it follows the convergence of the sequence of ordinary approximants to the same limit.

In this paper, we formulate best proximity pair theorems for noncyclic relatively ρ-nonexpansive mappings in modular spaces in the setting of proximal ρ-admissible sets. As a companion result, we establish a best proximity pair theorem for pointwise noncyclic contractions in modular spaces. To that end, we provide some examples throughout the paper to illustrate the validity of the obtained results. Keywords: Best proximity pair, Modular spaces, Relatively ρ-nonexpansive mappings, ρ-admissible sets, ρ-normal structure, Mathematics Subject Classification: 47H09, 41A65

In this paper, we consider the square function(Sf)(x)=(∫0∞|(f⊗Φt)(x)|2dtt)1/2$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle (\mathcal{S}f)(x)=\left( \int\limits_{0}^{\infty }|(f\otimes {\it\Phi}_{t})\left( x\right) |^{2}\frac{dt}{t}\right) ^{1/2} \end{array} $$associated with the Bessel differential operatorBt=d2dt2+(2α+1)tddt,$\begin{array}{} B_{t}=\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}+\frac{(2\alpha+1)}{t}\frac{d}{dt}, \end{array} $α> −1/2,t> 0 on the half-line ℝ+= [0, ∞). The aim of this paper is to obtain the boundedness of this function inLp,α,p> 1. Firstly, we provedL2,α-boundedness by means of the Bessel-Plancherel theorem. Then, its weak-type (1, 1) andLp,α,p> 1 boundedness are proved by taking into account vector-valued functions.

In the paper we use the notion of weakly weighted sharing and relaxed weighted sharing to investigate the uniqueness problems when two difference products of entire functions share a small function. The results of the paper improve and extend some recent results due to the present first author [Commu. Math. Stat., 3 (2015), 227-238].

We study existence of attractors for weak solutions of the regularized model for viscoelastic medium motion with memory in non-autonomous case. We apply the theory of trajectory attractors for non-invariant trajectory spaces and prove the existence of trajectory attractor, global attractor, uniform trajectory attractor, and uniform global attractor for this system. For the proof of the existence theorems the approximating-topological method is used. This method was introduced by V. G. Zvyagin and was developed in his papers and papers of his colleagues.

In this paper, we first establish a kind of weighted space-time L 2 {L^{2}} estimate, which belongs to Keel–Smith–Sogge-type estimates, for perturbed linear elastic wave equations. This estimate refines the corresponding one established by the second author [D. Zha, Space-time L 2 L^{2} estimates for elastic waves and applications, J. Differential Equations 263 2017, 4, 1947–1965] and is proved by combining the methods in the former paper, the first author, Wang and Yokoyama’s paper [K. Hidano, C. Wang and K. Yokoyama, On almost global existence and local well posedness for some 3-D quasi-linear wave equations, Adv. Differential Equations 17 2012, 3–4, 267–306] and some new ingredients. Then, together with some weighted Sobolev inequalities, this estimate is used to show a refined version of almost global existence of classical solutions for nonlinear elastic waves with small initial data. Compared with former almost global existence results for nonlinear elastic waves due to John [F. John, Almost global existence of elastic waves of finite amplitude arising from small initial disturbances, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 41 1988, 5, 615–666] and Klainerman and Sideris [S. Klainerman and T. C. Sideris, On almost global existence for nonrelativistic wave equations in 3D, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 49 1996, 307–321], the main innovation of our result is that it considerably improves the amount of regularity of initial data, i.e., the Sobolev regularity of initial data is assumed to be the smallest among all the admissible Sobolev spaces of integer order in the standard local existence theory. Finally, in the radially symmetric case, we establish the almost global existence of a low regularity solution for every small initial data in H 3 × H 2 {H^{3}\times H^{2}} .

In this paper, we consider the thermoelastic Bresse system in one-dimensional bounded interval under mixed homogeneous Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions and two different kinds of dissipation working only on the longitudinal displacement and given by heat conduction of types I and III. We prove that the exponential stability of the two systems is equivalent to the equality of the three speeds of the wave propagations. Moreover, when at least two speeds of the wave propagations are different, we show the polynomial stability for each system with a decay rate depending on the smoothness of the initial data. The results of this paper complete the ones of Afilal et al. [On the uniform stability for a linear thermoelastic Bresse system with second sound (submitted), 2018], where the dissipation is given by a linear frictional damping or by the heat conduction of second sound. The proof of our results is based on the semigroup theory and a combination of the energy method and the frequency domain approach.

In the present paper we consider a boundary homogenization problem for the Poisson’s equation in a bounded domain and with a part of the boundary conditions of highly oscillating type (alternating between homogeneous Neumman condition and a nonlinear Robin type condition involving a small parameter). Our main goal in this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior as ε → 0 of the solution to such a problem in the case when the length of the boundary part, on which the Robin condition is specified, and the coefficient, contained in this condition, take so-called critical values. We show that in this case the character of the nonlinearity changes in the limit problem. The boundary homogenization problems were investigate for example in [1, 2, 4]. For the first time the effect of the nonlinearity character change via homogenization was noted for the first time in [5]. In that paper an effective model was constructed for the boundary value problem for the Poisson’s equation in the bounded domain that is perforated by the balls of critical radius, when the space dimension equals to 3. In the last decade a lot of works appeared, e.g., [6–10], in which this effect was studied for different geometries of perforated domains and for different differential operators. We note that in [6–10] only perforations by balls were considered. In papers [11, 12] the case of domains perforated by an arbitrary shape sets in the critical case was studied.

This paper is concerned with the orthogonal polynomials. Upper and lower bounds of Legendre polynomials are obtained. Furthermore, entropies associated with discrete probability distributions is a topic considered in this paper. Bounds of the entropies which improve some previously known results are obtained in terms of inequalities. In order to illustrate the results obtained in this paper and to compare them with other results from the literature some graphs are provided.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of curves that we call helical extension curve in Euclidean space. Then we investigate the differential geometric properties of the helical extension curves. The main result of the paper is that the helical extension curve of a helix is a plane curve. Moreover, we give several simple characterizations of helical extension curve of special curves such as spherical curve.

The aim of this paper is to study the existence of solutions for critical Schrodinger–Kirchhoff-type problems involving a nonlocal integro-differential operator with potential vanishing at infinity. As a particular case, we consider the following fractional problem: $$\begin{aligned}&M\left( \iint _{{\mathbb {R}}^{2N}}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^{p}}{|x-y|^{N+sp}}\mathrm{dxdy}+\int _{{\mathbb {R}}^N}V(x)|u(x)|^{p}\mathrm{{d}}x\right) ((-\Delta )_p^{s}u(x)+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u)\\&\quad =K(x)(\lambda f(x,u)+|u|^{p_s^{*}-2}u), \end{aligned}$$ where $$M:[0, \infty )\rightarrow [0, \infty )$$ is a continuous function, $$(-\Delta )_p^{s}$$ is the fractional p-Laplacian, $$00$$ is a real parameter. Using the mountain pass theorem, we obtain the existence of the above problem in suitable space W. For this, we first study the properties of the embedding from W into $$L_{K}^{\alpha }({\mathbb {R}}^N), \alpha \in [p, p_s^{*}].$$ Then, we obtain the differentiability of energy functional with some suitable conditions on f. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first existence results for degenerate Kirchhoff-type problems involving the fractional p-Laplacian with potential vanishing at infinity. Finally, we fill some gaps of papers of do O et al. (Commun Contemp Math 18: 150063, 2016) and Li et al. (Mediterr J Math 14: 80, 2017).

In this paper, we study some optimal inequalities of the Riccati type and of the Bihari type. We also consider nonoptimal inequalities of the Wendorf type. At the same time, we get a partial answer to Problems 5 and 9, formulated by I. A. Rus. This paper is also motivated by the fact that, in many inequalities, the upper bound is not an optimal one.

The present paper aims to construct an inequality for bi-warped product submanifolds in a special class of almost metric manifolds, namely nearly Kenmotsu manifolds. As geometric applications, some exceptional cases that generalized several other inequalities are discussed. We also deliberate some applications in the context of mathematical physics and derive a new relation between the Dirichlet energy and the second fundamental form. Finally, we present a constructive remark at the end of this paper which shows the motive of the study.

In this paper we study a class of quasilinear elliptic equations with double phase energy and reaction term depending on the gradient. The main feature is that the associated functional is driven by the Baouendi–Grushin operator with variable coefficient. This partial differential equation is of mixed type and possesses both elliptic and hyperbolic regions. We first establish some new qualitative properties of a differential operator introduced recently by Bahrouni et al. (Nonlinearity 32(7):2481–2495, 2019). Next, under quite general assumptions on the convection term, we prove the existence of stationary waves by applying the theory of pseudomonotone operators. The analysis carried out in this paper is motivated by patterns arising in the theory of transonic flows.

Let C0(h) be a subclass of analytic and close-to-convex functions defined in the open unit disk by the formula ()(1&minus, z2)f&prime, (z)}&gt, 0. In this paper, some coefficient problems for C0(h) are considered. Some properties and bounds of several coefficient functionals for functions belonging to this class are provided. The main aim of this paper is to find estimates of the difference and of sum of successive coefficients, bounds of the sum of the first n coefficients and bounds of the n-th coefficient. The obtained results are used to determine coefficient estimates for both functions convex in the imaginary-axis direction with real coefficients and typically real functions. Moreover, the sum of the first initial coefficients for functions with a positive real part and with a fixed second coefficient is estimated.

This paper presents a method of establishing the D-stability terms of the symmetric solution of scalar symmetric linear and nonlinear functional differential equations. We determine the general conditions of the unique solvability of the initial value problem for symmetric functional differential equations. Here, we show the conditions of the symmetric property of the unique solution of symmetric functional differential equations. Furthermore, in this paper, an illustration of a particular symmetric equation is presented. In this example, all theoretical investigations referred to earlier are demonstrated. In addition, we graphically demonstrate two possible linear functions with the required symmetry properties.

In this paper, we extend our previous study regarding a Riemannian manifold endowed with a singular (or regular) distribution, generalizing Bochner&rsquo, s technique and a statistical structure. Following the construction of an almost Lie algebroid, we define the central concept of the paper: The Weitzenb&ouml, ck type curvature operator on tensors, prove the Bochner&ndash, Weitzenb&ouml, ck type formula and obtain some vanishing results about the null space of the Hodge type Laplacian on a distribution.

The aim of this paper was to obtain common fixed point results by using an interpolative contraction condition given by Karapinar in the setting of complete metric space. Here in this paper, we have redefined the Reich&ndash, Rus&ndash, Ćirić type contraction and Hardy&ndash, Rogers type contraction in the framework of quasi-partial b-metric space and proved the corresponding common fixed point theorem by adopting the notion of interpolation. The results are further validated with the application based on them.

This paper deals with the oscillation of the first-order differential equation with several delay arguments x′t+∑i=1mpitxτit=0,t≥t0, where the functions pi,τi∈Ct0,∞,R+, for every i=1,2,…,m,τit≤t for t≥t0 and limt→∞τit=∞. In this paper, the state-of-the-art on the sharp oscillation conditions are presented. In particular, several sufficient oscillation conditions are presented and it is shown that, under additional hypotheses dealing with slowly varying at infinity functions, some of the “liminf” oscillation conditions can be essentially improved replacing “liminf” by “limsup”. The importance of the slowly varying hypothesis and the essential improvement of the sufficient oscillation conditions are illustrated by examples.

In this paper a new method called the least squares differential quadrature method (LSDQM) is introduced as a straightforward and efficient method to compute analytical approximate polynomial solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations with fractional time derivatives. LSDQM is a combination of the differential quadrature method and the least squares method and in this paper it is employed to find approximate solutions for a very general class of nonlinear partial differential equations, wherein the fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The paper contains a clear, step-by-step presentation of the method and a convergence theorem. In order to emphasize the accuracy of LSDQM we included two test problems previously solved by means of other, well-known methods, and observed that our solutions present not only a smaller error but also a much simpler expression. We also included a problem with no known exact solution and the solutions computed by LSDQM are in good agreement with previous ones.

This paper is concerned with the global stability of non-monotone traveling waves for a discrete diffusion equation with a monostable convolution type nonlinearity. It has been proved by Yang and Zhang (Sci. China Math. 61 (2018), 1789--1806) that all noncritical traveling waves (waves with speeds $c \gt c_*$, $c_*$ is minimal speed) are time-exponentially stable, when the initial perturbations around the waves are small. In this paper, we further prove that all traveling waves with large speed are globally stable, when the initial perturbations around the waves in a weighted Sobolev space can be arbitrarily large. The approaches adopted are the nonlinear Halanay's inequality, the technical weighted energy method and Fourier's transform.

In this paper we will show how to constructed an Skew-Field with trace-preserving endomorphisms of the affine plane. Earlier in my paper, we doing a detailed description of endomorphisms algebra and trace-preserving endomorphisms algebra in an affine plane, and we have constructed an associative unitary ring for which trace-preserving endomorphisms. In this paper we formulate and prove an important Lemma, which enables us to construct a particular trace-preserving endomorphism, with the help of which we can construct the inverse trace-preserving endomorphisms of every trace-preserving endomorphism. At the end of this paper we have proven that the set of trace-preserving endomorphisms together with the actions of 'addition' and 'composition' (which is in the role of 'multiplication') forms a skew-field., 11 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2003.09528

This paper presents detailed aspects regarding the implementation of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to solve a Poisson’s equation with homogeneous boundary conditions. The aim of this paper is to clarify details of this implementation, such as the construction of algorithms, implementation of numerical experiments, and their results. For such purpose, the continuous problem is described, and a classical FEM approach is used to solve it. In addition, a multilevel technique is implemented for an efficient resolution of the corresponding linear system, describing and including some diagrams to explain the process and presenting the implementation codes in MATLAB®. Finally, codes are validated using several numerical experiments. Results show an adequate behavior of the preconditioner since the number of iterations of the PCG method does not increase, even when the mesh size is reduced.

The paper deals with boundedness problems of integral operators in weighted grand Bochner-Lebesgue spaces. We will treat both cases: when a weight function appears as a multiplier in the definition of the norm, or when it defines the absolute continuous measure of integration. Along with the diagonal case we deal with the off-diagonal case. To get the appropriate result for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator we rely on the reasonable bound of the sharp constant in the Buckley type theorem which is also derived in the paper.

We show in this paper a Lipschitz stability result for a crack inverse problem in half space. The direct problem is a Laplace equation with zero Neumann condition on the top boundary. The forcing term is a discontinuity across the crack. This formulation can be related to geological faults in elastic media or to irrotational incompressible flows in a half space minus an inner wall. The direct problem is well posed in an appropriate functional space. We study the related inverse problem where the jump across the crack is unknown, and more importantly, the geometry and the location of the crack are unknown. The data for the inverse problem is of Dirichlet type over a portion of the top boundary. We prove that this inverse problem is uniquely solvable under some assumptions on the geometry of the crack. The highlight of this paper is showing a stability result for this inverse problem. Assuming that the crack is planar, we show that reconstructing the plane containing the crack is Lipschitz stable despite the fact that the forcing term for the underlying PDE is unknown. This uniform stability result holds under the assumption that the forcing term is bounded above and the Dirichlet data is bounded below away from zero in appropriate norms., Comment: 1 figure

Using the recently introduced Sălăgean integro-differential operator, three new classes of bi-univalent functions are introduced in this paper. In the study of bi-univalent functions, estimates on the first two Taylor&ndash, Maclaurin coefficients are usually given. We go further in the present paper and bounds of the first three coefficients a 2 , a 3 and a 4 of the functions in the newly defined classes are given. Obtaining Fekete&ndash, Szego inequalities for different classes of functions is a topic of interest at this time as it will be shown later by citing recent papers. So, continuing the study on the coefficients of those classes, the well-known Fekete&ndash, Szego functional is obtained for each of the three classes.

In this paper, a localized boundary knot method is proposed, based on the local concept in the localized method of fundamental solutions. The localized boundary knot method is formed by combining the classical boundary knot method and the localization approach. The localized boundary knot method is truly free from mesh and numerical quadrature, so it has great potential for solving complicated engineering applications, such as multiply connected problems. In the proposed localized boundary knot method, both of the boundary nodes and interior nodes are required, and the algebraic equations at each node represent the satisfaction of the boundary condition or governing equation, which can be derived by using the boundary knot method at every subdomain. A sparse system of linear algebraic equations can be yielded using the proposed localized boundary knot method, which can greatly reduce the computer time and memory required in computer calculations. In this paper, several cases of simply connected domains and multi-connected domains of the Laplace equation and bi-harmonic equation are demonstrated to evidently verify the accuracy, convergence and stability of this proposed meshless method.

In this paper, we study the oscillatory behavior of solutions for a type of generalized proportional fractional differential equations with forcing and damping terms. Several oscillation criteria are established for the proposed equations in terms of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo settings. The results of this paper generalize some existing theorems in the literature. Indeed, it is shown that for particular choices of parameters, the obtained conditions in this paper reduce our theorems to some known results. Numerical examples are constructed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the our main theorems. Furthermore, we present and illustrate an example which does not satisfy the assumptions of our theorem and whose solution demonstrates nonoscillatory behavior.

We develop our study in the setting of b-metric spaces because they allow to consider some families of functions endowed with b-metrics deriving from similarity measures that are more general than norms. Taking into account that the contractivity condition we will employ is very general (of Hardy-Rogers type), we will discuss the validation and usage of this novel condition. After that, we introduce the main results of this paper and, finally, we deduce some consequences of them which illustrates the wide applicability of the main results., Junta de Andalucia FQM-365, Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad TIN2017-89517-P, DSR

In this survey paper, we present both some basic properties of the four-parameters Wright function and its applications in Fractional Calculus. For applications in Fractional Calculus, the four-parameters Wright function of the second kind is especially important. In the paper, three case studies illustrating a wide spectrum of its applications are presented. The first case study deals with the scale-invariant solutions to a one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation that can be represented in terms of the Wright function of the second kind and the four-parameters Wright function of the second kind. In the second case study, we consider a subordination formula for the solutions to a multi-dimensional space-time-fractional diffusion equation with different orders of the fractional derivatives. The kernel of the subordination integral is a special case of the four-parameters Wright function of the second kind. Finally, in the third case study, we shortly present an application of an operational calculus for a composed Erdélyi-Kober fractional operator for solving some initial-value problems for the fractional differential equations with the left- and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober fractional derivatives. In particular, we present an example with an explicit solution in terms of the four-parameters Wright function of the second kind.

In the present paper, we define generalized skew semi-invariant submersion and give an example for such submersions. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given to obtain the integrability and totally geodesicness of the distributions, which are mentioned in the definition of generalized skew semi-invariant submersion. The geometry of the fibers is investigated. At the end of the paper, the generalized skew semi-invariant submersion is considered with parallel canonical structures and some results are obtained.

The link between Vandiver’s conjecture and Gauss sums is well known since the papers of Iwasawa (Symposia Mathematica, vol 15, Academic Press, pp 447–459, 1975), Thaine (Mich Math J 42(2):311–344, 1995; Trans Am Math Soc 351(12):4769–4790, 1999) and Angles and Nuccio (Acta Arith 142(3):199–218, 2010). This conjecture is required in many subjects and we shall give such examples of relevant references. In this paper, we recall our interpretation of Vandiver’s conjecture in terms of minus part of the torsion of the Galois group of the maximal abelian p-ramified pro-p-extension of the p-th cyclotomic field (Sur la p-ramification abelienne (1984) vol. 20, pp. 1–26). Then we provide a specific use of Gauss sums of characters of order p of $${\mathbb {F}}_\ell ^\times $$ and prove new criteria for Vandiver’s conjecture to hold (Theorem 2 (a) using both the sets of exponents of p-irregularity and of p-primarity of suitable twists of the Gauss sums, and Theorem 2 (b) which does not need the knowledge of Bernoulli numbers or cyclotomic units). We propose in §5.2 new heuristics showing that any counterexample to the conjecture leads to excessive constraints modulo p on the above twists as $$\ell $$ varies and suggests analytical approaches to evidence. We perform numerical experiments to strengthen our arguments in the direction of the very probable truth of Vandiver’s conjecture and to inspire future research. The calculations with their PARI/GP programs are given in appendices.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of cone metric space over a topological left module and we establish some coincidence and common fixed point theorems for self-mappings satisfying a condition of Lipschitz type. The main results of this paper provide extensions as well as substantial generalizations and improvements of several well known results in the recent literature. In addition, the paper contains an example which shows that our main results are applicable on a non-metrizable cone metric space over a topological left module. The article proves that fixed point theorems in the framework of cone metric spaces over a topological left module are more effective and more fertile than standard results presented in cone metric spaces over a Banach algebra.
