The aim of this paper is to study and investigate generating-type functions, which have been recently constructed by the author, with the aid of the Euler’s identity, combinatorial sums, and p-adic integrals. Using these generating functions with their functional equation, we derive various interesting combinatorial sums and identities including new families of numbers and polynomials, the Bernoulli numbers, the Euler numbers, the Stirling numbers, the Daehee numbers, the Changhee numbers, and other numbers and polynomials. Moreover, we present some revealing remarks and comments on the results of this paper.

In this paper, we study 3-dimensional compact and connected trans-Sasakian manifolds and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which these manifolds are homothetic to Sasakian manifolds. First, four results in this paper deal with finding necessary and sufficient conditions on a compact and connected trans-Sasakian manifold to be homothetic to a compact and connected Sasakian manifold, and the fifth result deals with finding necessary and sufficient condition on a connected trans-Sasakian manifold to be homothetic to a connected Sasakian manifold. Finally, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on a compact and simply connected trans-Sasakian manifold to be homothetic to a compact and simply connected Einstein Sasakian manifold.

The elliptic integrals are of interest in various disciplines. While series solutions do exist for complete elliptic integrals, there are no deduced series solutions for Incomplete elliptic integrals, in terms of the special functions. This paper provides novel solutions of the Legendre forms of incomplete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds in terms of the Euler’s gamma functions. The paper also proposes new solutions to inverse trigonometric functions, which has never been known till date.

In some previous works, two of the authors introduced a technique to design high-order numerical methods for one-dimensional balance laws that preserve all their stationary solutions. The basis of these methods is a well-balanced reconstruction operator. Moreover, they introduced a procedure to modify any standard reconstruction operator, like MUSCL, ENO, CWENO, etc., in order to be well-balanced. This strategy involves a non-linear problem at every cell at every time step that consists in finding the stationary solution whose average is the given cell value. In a recent paper, a fully well-balanced method is presented where the non-linear problems to be solved in the reconstruction procedure are interpreted as control problems. The goal of this paper is to introduce a new technique to solve these local non-linear problems based on the application of the collocation RK methods. Special care is put to analyze the effects of computing the averages and the source terms using quadrature formulas. A general technique which allows us to deal with resonant problems is also introduced. To check the efficiency of the methods and their well-balance property, they have been applied to a number of tests, ranging from easy academic systems of balance laws consisting of Burgers equation with some non-linear source terms to the shallow water equations—without and with Manning friction—or Euler equations of gas dynamics with gravity effects.

This paper explains a method of constructing algebras, starting with the properties of discrimination in elementary discrete systems. We show how to use points of view about these systems to construct what we call iterant algebras and how these algebras naturally give rise to the complex numbers, Clifford algebras and matrix algebras. The paper discusses the structure of the Schrödinger equation, the Dirac equation and the Majorana Dirac equations, finding solutions via the nilpotent method initiated by Peter Rowlands.

In the present paper, we deal with the global regularity estimates for the $p$-Laplace equations with data in divergence form \[ \operatorname{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) = \operatorname{div}(|F|^{p-2} F) \quad \textrm{in $\Omega$}, \] in Morrey spaces with natural data $F \in L^p(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$ and nonhomogeneous boundary data belongs to $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$. Motivated by the work of [M.-P. Tran, T.-N. Nguyen, New gradient estimates for solutions to quasilinear divergence form elliptic equations with general Dirichlet boundary data, J. Differential Equations 268 (2020), no. 4, 1427–1462], this paper extends that of global Lorentz–Morrey gradient estimates in which the `good-$\lambda$' technique was undertaken for a class of more general equations, and further, global regularity of weak solutions will be given in terms of fractional maximal operators.

This is a continuation of our previous works on entanglement entropy (EE) in interacting field theories. In arXiv:2103.05303, we have proposed the notion of $\mathbb{Z}_M$ gauge theory on Feynman diagrams to calculate EE in quantum field theories and shown that EE consists of two particular contributions from propagators and vertices. As shown in the next paper arXiv:2105.02598, the purely non-Gaussian contributions from interaction vertices can be interpreted as renormalized correlation functions of composite operators. In this paper, we will first provide a unified matrix form of EE containing both contributions from propagators and (classical) vertices, and then extract further non-Gaussian contributions based on the framework of the Wilsonian renormalization group. It is conjectured that the EE in the infrared is given by a sum of all the vertex contributions in the Wilsonian effective action., Comment: 29 pages, 10 figures; typos corrected, published version in Symmetry (v2)

In this paper, we study split generalized mixed equilibrium problem and fixed point problem in real Hilbert spaces with a view to analyze an iterative method for approximating a common solution of split generalized mixed equilibrium problem and fixed point problem of an infinite family of a quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings. The iterative algorithm introduced in this paper is designed in such a way that it does not require the knowledge of the operator norm. We state and prove a strong convergence result of the aforementioned problems and also give application of our main result to split variational inequality problem. Our result complements and extends some related results in literature.

Chinta and Gunnells introduced a rather intricate multi-parameter Weyl group action on rational functions on a torus, which, when the parameters are specialized to certain Gauss sums, describes the functional equations of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series associated to metaplectic (n-fold) covers of algebraic groups. In subsequent joint work with Puskas, they extended this action to a "metaplectic" representation of the equal parameter affine Hecke algebra, which allowed them to obtain explicit formulas for the p-parts of these Dirichlet series. They have also verified by a computer check the remarkable fact that their formulas continue to define a group action for general (unspecialized) parameters. In the first part of paper we give a conceptual explanation of this fact, by giving a uniform and elementary construction of the "metaplectic" representation for generic Hecke algebras as a suitable quotient of a parabolically induced affine Hecke algebra module, from which the associated Chinta-Gunnells Weyl group action follows through localization. In the second part of the paper we extend the metaplectic representation to the double affine Hecke algebra, which provides a generalization of Cherednik's basic representation. This allows us to introduce a new family of "metaplectic" polynomials, which generalize nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. In this paper, we provide the details of the construction of metaplectic polynomials in type A; the general case will be handled in the sequel to this paper., 39 pages. Version 2 is a significant revision. Added second part introducing a new family of "metaplectic" polynomials, which generalize nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials and metaplectic Iwahori-Whittaker functions. Title has been changed and the introduction has been expanded

In this paper, we consider fractional ordinary differential equations and the fractional Euler–Poisson–Darboux equation with fractional derivatives in the form of a power of the Bessel differential operator. Using the technique of the Meijer integral transform and its modification, fundamental solutions to these equations are derived in terms of the Fox–Wright function, the Fox H-function, and their particular cases. We also provide some explicit formulas for the solutions to the corresponding initial-value problems in terms of the generalized convolutions introduced in this paper.

This paper provides three classes of q-summation formulas in the form of general contiguous extensions of the first q-Kummer summation theorem. Their derivations are presented by using three methods, which are along the lines of the three types of well-known proofs of the q-Kummer summation theorem with a key role of the q-binomial theorem. In addition to the q-binomial theorem, the first proof makes use of Thomae’s q-integral representation and the second proof needs Heine’s transformation. Whereas the third proof utilizes only the q-binomial theorem. Subsequently, the applications of these summation formulas in obtaining the general contiguous extensions of the second and the third q-Kummer summation theorems are also presented. Furthermore, the investigated results are specialized to give many of the known as well as presumably new q-summation theorems, which are contiguous to the three q-Kummer summation theorems. This work is motivated by the observation that the basic (or q-) series and basic (or q-) polynomials, especially the basic (or q-) gamma and q-hypergeometric functions and basic (or q-) hypergeometric polynomials, are applicable particularly in several diverse areas including Number Theory, Theory of Partitions and Combinatorial Analysis as well as in the study of Combinatorial Generating Functions. Just as it is known in the theory of the Gauss, Kummer (or confluent), Clausen and the generalized hypergeometric functions, the parameters in the corresponding basic or quantum (or q-) hypergeometric functions are symmetric in the sense that they remain invariant when the order of the p numerator parameters or when the order of the q denominator parameters is arbitrarily changed. A case has therefore been made for the symmetry possessed not only by hypergeometric functions and basic or quantum (or q-) hypergeometric functions, which are studied in this paper, but also by the symmetric quantum calculus itself.

In the present paper, we investigate the existence and regularity of weak solutions for $$\psi $$ -Hilfer fractional boundary value problem in $$\mathbb {C}^{\alpha ,\beta ;\psi }_{2}$$ and $$\mathcal {H}$$ (Hilbert space) spaces, using extension of the Lax–Milgram theorem. In this sense, to finalize the paper, we discuss the integration by parts for $$\psi $$ -Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and $$\psi $$ -Hilfer fractional derivative.

The object of investigation in this paper is a scalar linear fractional differential equation with generalized proportional derivative of Riemann–Liouville type (LFDEGD). The main goal is the obtaining an explicit solution of the initial value problem of the studied equation. Note that the locally solvability, being the same as the existence of solutions to the initial value problem, is connected with the symmetry of a transformation of a system of differential equations. At the same time, several criteria for existence of the initial value problem for nonlinear fractional differential equations with generalized proportional derivative are connected with the linear ones. It leads to the necessity of obtaining an explicit solution of LFDEGD. In this paper two cases are studied: the case of no impulses in the differential equation are presented and the case when instantaneous impulses at initially given points are involved. All obtained formulas are based on the application of Mittag–Leffler function with two parameters. In the case of impulses, initially the appropriate impulsive conditions are set up and later the explicit solutions are obtained.

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 have pointed out that the proof of Theorem 11 in the recent paper (Lafhim in Positivity, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11117-019-00685-1 ) is erroneous. Using techniques from variational analysis, we propose other proofs to detect necessary optimality conditions in terms of Karush–Kuhn–Tucker multipliers. Our main results are given in terms of the limiting subdifferentials and the limiting normal cones. Completely detailed first order necessary optimality conditions are then given in the smooth setting while using the generalized differentiation calculus of Mordukhovich.

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.

[EN] In this paper, a novel technique is formed to obtain the solution of a fractional gas dynamics equation. Some reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are defined. Reproducing kernel functions of these spaces have been found. Some numerical examples are shown to confirm the efficiency of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space method. The accurate pulchritude of the paper is arisen in its strong implementation of Caputo fractional order time derivative on the classical equations with the success of the highly accurate solutions by the series solutions. Reproducing kernel Hilbert space method is actually capable of reducing the size of the numerical work. Numerical results for different particular cases of the equations are given in the numerical section., This research was partially supported by Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades PGC2018-095896-B-C22 and Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089.

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.

Michael Somos discovered several theta-function identities of various levels by computer and offered no proof for them. These identities highly resemble some of Ramanujan’s identities. The main focus of this paper is to prove some of these theta-function identities, in particular those of level 6 that have been discovered using computational searches. Some of the the Somos identities that we are discussing in this paper cannot be expressed in the form of P −−Q type. Furthermore, we establish certain colored partition identities for them.

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 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.

It is well known that developing methods for solving Dirichlet problems is important and relevant for various areas of mathematical physics related to the Laplace equation, the Helmholtz equation, the Stokes equation, the Maxwell equation, the Dirac equation, and others. The author in previous papers studied the solvability of Dirichlet boundary value problems of the first and second orders in quaternionic analysis. In the present paper, we study a higher-order Dirichlet boundary value problem associated with the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with complex potential. The existence and uniqueness of a solution to the Dirichlet boundary value problem in the two-dimensional case is proved and an appropriate representation formula for the solution of this problem is found. Most Dirichlet problems are solved for the case in three variables. Note that the case of two variables is not a simple consequence of the three-dimensional case. To solve the problem, we use the method of orthogonal decomposition of the quaternion-valued Sobolev space. This orthogonal decomposition of the space is also a tool for the study of many elliptic boundary value problems that arise in various areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. An orthogonal decomposition of the quaternion-valued Sobolev space with respect to the high-order Dirac operator is also obtained in this paper.

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.

The basic aim of this paper is to provide a fundamental tool, the resolvent decomposition theorem, in the construction theory of denumerable Markov processes. We present a detailed analytic proof of this extremely useful tool and explain its clear probabilistic interpretation. We then apply this tool to investigate the basic problems of existence and uniqueness criteria for denumerable Markov processes with instantaneous states to which few results have been obtained even until now. Although the complete answers regarding these existence and uniqueness criteria will be given in a subsequent paper, we shall, in this paper, present part solutions of these very important problems that are closely linked with the subtle Williams S and N conditions.

We prove a new effective Chebotarev density theorem for Galois extensions $L/\mathbb{Q}$ that allows one to count small primes (even as small as an arbitrarily small power of the discriminant of $L$); this theorem holds for the Galois closures of "almost all" number fields that lie in an appropriate family of field extensions. Previously, applying Chebotarev in such small ranges required assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. The error term in this new Chebotarev density theorem also avoids the effect of an exceptional zero of the Dedekind zeta function of $L$, without assuming GRH. We give many different "appropriate families," including families of arbitrarily large degree. To do this, we first prove a new effective Chebotarev density theorem that requires a zero-free region of the Dedekind zeta function. Then we prove that almost all number fields in our families yield such a zero-free region. The innovation that allows us to achieve this is a delicate new method for controlling zeroes of certain families of non-cuspidal $L$-functions. This builds on, and greatly generalizes the applicability of, work of Kowalski and Michel on the average density of zeroes of a family of cuspidal $L$-functions. A surprising feature of this new method, which we expect will have independent interest, is that we control the number of zeroes in the family of $L$-functions by bounding the number of certain associated fields with fixed discriminant. As an application of the new Chebotarev density theorem, we prove the first nontrivial upper bounds for $\ell$-torsion in class groups, for all integers $\ell \geq 1$, applicable to infinite families of fields of arbitrarily large degree., Comment: 52 pages. This shorter version aligns with the published paper. Note that portions of Section 8 of the longer v1 have been developed as a separate paper with identifier arXiv:1902.02008

The notion of quantized characters was introduced in our previous paper as a natural quantization of characters in the context of asymptotic representation theory forquantum groups. As in the case of ordinary groups, the representation associated with any extreme quantized character generates a von Neumann factor. From the viewpoint of operator algebras (and measurable dynamical systems), it is natural to ask what is the Murray–von Neumann–Connes type of the resulting factor. In this paper, we give a complete solution to this question when the inductive system is of quantum unitary groups $U_{q}(N)$.

For every monoid M of natural numbers defined a new class of periodic functions $$M_s^\alpha$$, which is a subclass of a known class of periodic functions Korobov $$E_s^\alpha$$. With respect to the norm $$\|f(\vec{x})\|_{E_s^\alpha}$$, the class $$M_s^\alpha$$ is an inseparable Banach subspace of class $$E_s^\alpha$$. It is established that the class $$M_s^\alpha$$ is closed with respect to the action of the Fredholm integral operator and the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is solvable on this class. In this paper we obtain estimates of the image norm of the integral operator, which contain the kernel norm and the s-th degree of the Zeta function of the monoid M. Estimates are obtained for the parameter $$\lambda$$, in which the integral operator $$A_{\lambda,f}$$ is a compression. The theorem on the representation of the unique solution of Fredholm integral equation of the second kind in the form of Neumann series is proved. The paper deals with the problems of solving the partial differential equation with the differential operator $$Q\left(\frac{\partial }{\partial x_1},\ldots,\frac{\partial }{\partial x_s}\right)$$ in the space $$M^\alpha_{s}$$, which depends on the arithmetic properties of the spectrum of this operator. A paradoxical fact is found that for a monoid $$M_{q,1}$$ of numbers comparable to 1 modulo q, a quadrature formula with a parallelepiped grid for an admissible set of coefficients modulo q is exact on the class $$M_{q,1,s}^\alpha$$. Moreover, this statement remains true for the class $$M_{q,a,s}^\alpha$$ with 1 < a < q when q is a Prime number. Since the functions of class $$M_{q,a,s}^\alpha$$ with 1 < a < q do not have a zero Fourier coefficient $$C(\vec{0})$$, then for a simple q the sum of the function values at the nodes of the corresponding parallelepipedal grid will be zero.

We study a Markovian agent-based model (MABM) in this paper. Each agent is endowed with a local state that changes over time as the agent interacts with its neighbours. The neighbourhood structure is given by a graph. In a recent paper [Simon et al. 2011], the authors used the automorphisms of the underlying graph to generate a lumpable partition of the joint state space ensuring Markovianness of the lumped process for binary dynamics. However, many large random graphs tend to become asymmetric rendering the automorphism-based lumping approach ineffective as a tool of model reduction. In order to mitigate this problem, we propose a lumping method based on a notion of local symmetry, which compares only local neighbourhoods of vertices. Since local symmetry only ensures approximate lumpability, we quantify the approximation error by means of Kullback-Leibler divergence rate between the original Markov chain and a lifted Markov chain. We prove the approximation error decreases monotonically. The connections to fibrations of graphs are also discussed., Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures

In this paper, we study the concomitants of m-dual generalized order statistics (and consequently m-generalized order statistics) from Huang–Kotz Farlie–Gumble–Morgenstern bivariate distribution as an extension of several recent papers. Some well-known information measures, the Shannon entropy, the Kullback–Leibler distance and the Fisher information number, are derived. Moreover, some useful recurrence relations between single and product moments of concomitants are obtained. Finally, an application of these results is given for bivariate generalized exponential distribution.

International audience; This article is the continuation of our first work on the determination of the cases where there is equality in Courant's Nodal Domain theorem in the case of a Robin boundary condition (with Robin parameter h). For the square, our first paper focused on the case where h is large and extended results that were obtained by Pleijel, Bérard-Helffer, for the problem with a Dirichlet boundary condition. There, we also obtained some general results about the behaviour of the nodal structure (for planar domains) under a small deformation of h, where h is positive and not close to 0. In this second paper, we extend results that were obtained by Helffer-Persson-Sundqvist for the Neumann problem to the case where h > 0 is small. MSC classification (2010): 35P99, 58J50, 58J37.

The paper is devoted to one open extremal problem in the geometric function theory of complex variables associated with estimates of a functional defined on the systems of non-overlapping domains. We consider the problem of the maximum of a product of inner radii of n non-overlapping domains containing points of a unit circle and the power γ of the inner radius of a domain containing the origin. The problem was formulated in 1994 in Dubinin’s paper in the journal “Russian Mathematical Surveys” in the list of unsolved problems and then repeated in his monograph in 2014. Currently, it is not solved in general. In this paper, we obtained a solution of the problem for five simply connected domains and power γ ∈ (1; 2:57] and generalized this result to the case of multidimensional complex space.

Let $G$ be a connected complex semi-simple Lie group, and let $Z_{\bf u}$ be an $n$-dimensional Bott-Samelson variety of $G$, where ${\bf u}$ is any sequence of simple reflections in the Weyl group of $G$. We study the Poisson structure $\pi_n$ on $Z_{\bf u}$ defined by a standard multiplicative Poisson structure $\pi_{\rm st}$ on $G$. We explicitly express $\pi_n$ on each of the $2^n$ affine coordinate charts, one for every subexpression of ${\bf u}$, in terms of the root strings and the structure constants of the Lie algebra of $G$. We show that the restriction of $\pi_n$ to each affine coordinate chart gives rise to a Poisson structure on the polynomial algebra ${\mathbb{C}}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ which is an {\it iterated Poisson Ore extension} of $\mathbb{C}$ compatible with a rational action by a maximal torus of $G$. For canonically chosen $\pi_{\rm st}$, we show that the induced Poisson structure on ${\mathbb{C}}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ for every affine coordinate chart is in fact defined over ${\mathbb Z}$, thus giving rise to an iterated Poisson Ore extension of any field ${\bf k}$ of arbitrary characteristic. The special case of $\pi_n$ on the affine chart corresponding to the full subexpression of ${\bf u}$ yields an explicit formula for the standard Poisson structures on {\it generalized Bruhat cells} in Bott-Samelson coordinates. The paper establishes the foundation on generalized Bruhat cells and sets up the stage for their applications, some of which are discussed in the Introduction of the paper.

In a previous paper (Funct. Anal. Appl., 3 (2015), 205–209), we defined quantum Markov states. Here we recall this definition and present a proof of the results from that paper (which are given there without proofs). We give a definition of a quantum hidden Markov state generated by a function of a quantum Markov process and show how it is related to other definitions of such states. Our definitions work for quantum Markov fields on ℤN and on graphs. We consider an example with the Cayley tree.

Diaconis and Griffiths (2014) study the multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials orthogonal on the multinomial distribution. In this paper we derive the reproducing kernel orthogonal polynomials Q n ( x , y ; N , p ) on the multinomial distribution which are sums of products of orthonormal polynomials in x and y of fixed total degree n = 0 , 1 , … , N . The Poisson kernel ∑ n = 0 N ρ n Q n ( x , y ; N , p ) arises naturally from a probabilistic argument. An application to a multinomial goodness of fit test is developed, where the chi-squared test statistic is decomposed into orthogonal components which test the order of fit. A new duplication formula for the reproducing kernel polynomials in terms of the 1-dimensional Krawtchouk polynomials is derived. The duplication formula allows a Lancaster characterization of all reversible Markov chains with a multinomial stationary distribution whose eigenvectors are multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials and where eigenvalues are repeated within the same total degree. The χ 2 cutoff time, and total variation cutoff time is investigated in such chains. Emphasis throughout the paper is on a probabilistic understanding of the polynomials and their applications, particularly to Markov chains.

In this paper, we analyze involutes of pseudo-null curves in Lorentz–Minkowski 3-space. Pseudo-null curves are spacelike curves with null principal normals, and their involutes can be defined analogously as for the Euclidean curves, but they exhibit properties that cannot occur in Euclidean space. The first result of the paper is that the involutes of pseudo-null curves are null curves, more precisely, null straight lines. Furthermore, a method of reconstruction of a pseudo-null curve from a given null straight line as its involute is provided. Such a reconstruction process in Euclidean plane generates an evolute of a curve, however it cannot be applied to a straight line. In the case presented, the process is additionally affected by a choice of different null frames that every null curve allows (in this case, a null straight line). Nevertheless, we proved that for different null frames, the obtained pseudo-null curves are congruent. Examples that verify presented results are also given., MTM2017-89677-P, MINECO/ AEI/FEDER, UE.

In this paper, we introduce a general family of $q$-hypergeometric polynomials and investigate several $q$-series identities such as an extended generating function and a Srivastava-Agarwal type bilinear generating function for this family of $q$-hypergeometric polynomials. We give a transformational identity involving generating functions for the generalized $q$-hypergeometric polynomials which we have introduced here. We also point out relevant connections of the various $q$-results, which we investigate here, with those in several related earlier works on this subject. We conclude this paper by remarking that it will be a rather trivial and inconsequential exercise to give the so-called $(p,q)$-variations of the $q$-results, which we have investigated here, because the additional parameter $p$ is obviously redundant., 14 pages

Purpose Besse first conjectured that the solution of the critical point equation (CPE) must be Einstein. The CPE conjecture on some other types of Riemannian manifolds, for instance, odd-dimensional Riemannian manifolds has considered by many geometers. Hence, it deserves special attention to consider the CPE on a certain class of almost contact metric manifolds. In this direction, the authors considered CPE on almost f-cosymplectic manifolds. Design/methodology/approach The paper opted the tensor calculus on manifolds to find the solution of the CPE. Findings In this paper, in particular, the authors obtained that a connected f-cosymplectic manifold satisfying CPE with \lambda=\tilde{f} is Einstein. Next, the authors find that a three dimensional almost f-cosymplectic manifold satisfying the CPE is either Einstein or its scalar curvature vanishes identically if its Ricci tensor is pseudo anti‐commuting. Originality/value The paper proved that the CPE conjecture is true for almost f-cosymplectic manifolds.

In this paper, we obtain the existence of positive solution for a system of quasilinear Schrodinger equations with concave nonlinearities which is related to several applications in Hydrodynamics, Heidelberg Ferromagnetism and Magnus Theory, Condensed Matter Theory, Dissipative Quantum Mechanics and nanotubes and fullerene-related structures. The quasilinear Schrodinger problem is studied by considering a suitable change of variables which transforms the original problem in to a semilinear one. By means of the several properties of the change of variables, constructions of suitable sub-supersolutions, monotonic iteration arguments and the Galerkin method, we obtain the existence of solution for the semilinear problem. The paper is divided in two parts. In the first one, we use the method of sub-supersolutions to obtain a solution for the problem. In the second part, we use the Galerkin method and a comparison argument to obtain a solution for the system considered. An important feature is that the sub-supersolution approach is rare in the literature for the type of problem considered here and the Galerkin method was not used to consider quasilinear Schrodinger equations.

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $P(H)$ be the projective space of all quantum pure states. Wigner's theorem states that every bijection $\phi\colon P(H)\to P(H)$ that preserves the quantum angle between pure states is automatically induced by either a unitary or an antiunitary operator $U\colon H\to H$. Uhlhorn's theorem generalises this result for bijective maps $\phi$ that are only assumed to preserve the quantum angle $\frac{\pi}{2}$ (orthogonality) in both directions. Recently, two papers, written by Li--Plevnik--\v{S}emrl and Geh\'er, solved the corresponding structural problem for bijections that preserve only one fixed quantum angle $\alpha$ in both directions, provided that $0 < \alpha \leq \frac{\pi}{4}$ holds. In this paper we solve the remaining structural problem for quantum angles $\alpha$ that satisfy $\frac{\pi}{4} < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}$, hence complete a programme started by Uhlhorn. In particular, it turns out that these maps are always induced by unitary or antiunitary operators, however, our assumption is much weaker than Wigner's., Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures

Software reliability models (SRMs) are widely used for quantitative evaluation of software reliability by estimating model parameters from failure data observed in the testing phase. In particular, non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP)-based SRMs are the most popular because of their mathematical tractability. In this paper, we focus on the parameter estimation algorithm for NHPP-based SRMs and discuss the EM algorithm for generalized fault count data. The presented algorithm can be applied for failure time data, failure count data, and their mixture. The paper derives the EM-step formulas for basic 12 NHPP-based SRMs and demonstrate a numerical experiment to present the convergence property of our algorithms. The developed algorithms are suitable for an automatic tool for software reliability evaluation.

In this paper, we study the well-posedness and stability of a wave equation with infinitely structural memory, herein the memory kernel function does not satisfy the monotonicity. For the model, the history function space setting is a main difficulty because the usual space setting will lead the shift semigroup to be a unbounded semigroup. In the present paper, we modify the history function space setting and prove the well-posedness of the system. Further we study the stability of the system via Lyapunov function method. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov function, we show that the energy function of the system decays exponentially if the memory kernel function satisfies some conditions. Finally, we give an example of the memory kernel function that is not monotone but satisfies all conditions proposed in the present paper.

In this paper, the inverse nodal problem is discussed for discontinuous periodic ( or anti-periodic) Sturm-Liouville problem. Such type problems are different from regular problems because of discontinuity in the boundary conditions. Firstly, results of Sturm-Liouville problem including jump condition are present. Then, by deferring the zeros of eigenfunctions, inverse problem is solved as we desired. The method is based on considering a translation so that the periodic (or anti-periodic) problem is reduced to a Dirichlet problem as in Cheng and Law’s paper [5]. But, our problem including also discontinuous conditions. In addition to all of these, although there are so many results on this subject, we combine both periodic conditions and discontinuity.

In this paper we analyse the structure of the spaces of smooth type functions, generated by elements of arbitrary Hilbert spaces, as a continuation of the research in our previous papers in this series. We prove that these spaces are perfect sequence spaces. As a consequence we describe the tensor structure of sequential mappings on the spaces of smooth type functions and characterise their adjoint mappings. As an application we prove the universality of the spaces of smooth type functions on compact manifolds without boundary., 23 pages

The present paper aims to deal with an iterative algorithm for finding common solution of the combination of the split equilibrium problem and a finite family of non-expansive mappings and the combination of variational inequality problem in the setting of real Hilbert spaces. Further, we prove that the sequences generated by the proposed iterative method converge strongly to a common solution to these problems. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed method and convergence result. The results and method presented in this paper generalize, extend and unify some known results in the literatures.

Although the Bruhat order on a Weyl group is closely related to the singularities of the Schubert varieties for the corresponding Kac–Moody group, it can be difficult to use this information to prove general theorems. This paper uses the action of the affine Weyl group of type A2 on a Euclidean space V≅ℝ2 to study the Bruhat order on W. We believe that these methods can be used to study the Bruhat order on arbitrary affine Weyl groups. Our motivation for this study was to extend the lookup conjecture of Boe and Graham (which is a conjectural simplification of the Carrell–Peterson criterion for rational smoothness) to type A2. Computational evidence suggests that the only Schubert varieties in type A2 where the “nontrivial” case of the lookup conjecture occurs are the spiral Schubert varieties, and as a step towards the lookup conjecture, we prove it for a spiral Schubert variety X(w) of type A2. The proof uses descriptions we obtain of the elements x≤w and of the rationally smooth locus of X(w) in terms of the W-action on V. As a consequence we describe the maximal nonrationally smooth points of X(w). The results of this paper are used in a sequel to describe the smooth locus of X(w), which is different from the rationally smooth locus.

This paper analyzes block-coordinate proximal gradient methods for minimizing the sum of a separable smooth function and a (nonseparable) nonsmooth function, both of which are allowed to be nonconvex. The main tool in our analysis is the forward-backward envelope (FBE), which serves as a particularly suitable continuous and real-valued Lyapunov function. Global and linear convergence results are established when the cost function satisfies the Kurdyka-\L ojasiewicz property without imposing convexity requirements on the smooth function. Two prominent special cases of the investigated setting are regularized finite sum minimization and the sharing problem; in particular, an immediate byproduct of our analysis leads to novel convergence results and rates for the popular Finito/MISO algorithm in the nonsmooth and nonconvex setting with very general sampling strategies.

This paper is concerned with a type of time-symmetric stochastic system, namely the so-called forward&ndash, backward doubly stochastic differential equations (FBDSDEs), in which the forward equations are delayed doubly stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and the backward equations are anticipated backward doubly SDEs. Under some monotonicity assumptions, the existence and uniqueness of measurable solutions to FBDSDEs are obtained. The future development of many processes depends on both their current state and historical state, and these processes can usually be represented by stochastic differential systems with time delay. Therefore, a class of nonzero sum differential game for doubly stochastic systems with time delay is studied in this paper. A necessary condition for the open-loop Nash equilibrium point of the Pontriagin-type maximum principle are established, and a sufficient condition for the Nash equilibrium point is obtained. Furthermore, the above results are applied to the study of nonzero sum differential games for linear quadratic backward doubly stochastic systems with delay. Based on the solution of FBDSDEs, an explicit expression of Nash equilibrium points for such game problems is established.

In the celebrated paper by Jean Leray, published in JMPA journal in 1933, the invading domains method was proposed to construct D-solutions for the stationary Navier-Stokes flow around obstacle problem. In two dimensions, whether Leray's D-solution achieves the prescribed limiting velocity at spatial infinity became a major open problem since then. In this paper, we solve this problem at small Reynolds numbers. The proof builds on a novel blow-down argument which rescales the invading domains to the unit disc, and the ideas developed in a recent paper [Korobkov-Pileckas-Russo2020], where the nontriviality of Leray solutions in the general case was proved, and [Korobkov-Ren-2021], where the uniqueness result for small Reynolds number was established.

In this paper, by employing the Zhang neural network (ZNN) method, an effective continuous-time LU decomposition (CTLUD) model is firstly proposed, analyzed, and investigated for solving the time-varying LU decomposition problem. Then, for the convenience of digital hardware realization, this paper proposes three discrete-time models by using Euler, 4-instant Zhang et al. discretization (ZeaD), and 8-instant ZeaD formulas to discretize the proposed CTLUD model, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed models are used to perform the LU decomposition of three time-varying matrices with different dimensions. Results indicate that the proposed models are effective for solving the time-varying LU decomposition problem, and the 8-instant ZeaD LU decomposition model has the highest precision among the three discrete-time models.
