Existence of limit cycles in general planar piecewise linear systems of saddle–saddle dynamics

The existence and number of limit cycles in a class of general planar piecewise linear systems constituted by two linear subsystems with saddle–saddle dynamics are investigated. Using the Liénard-like canonical form with seven parameters, the parametric regions of the existence of limit cycles are given by constructing proper Poincaré maps. In particular, the existence of at least two limit cycles is proved and some parameter regions where two nested limit cycles exist are given.     

The number and stability of limit cycles for planar piecewise linear systems of node–saddle type

The objective of this paper is to study the number and stability of limit cycles for planar piecewise linear (PWL) systems of node–saddle type with two linear regions. Firstly, we give a thorough analysis of limit cycles for Liénard PWL systems of this type, proving one is the maximum number of limit cycles and obtaining necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of a unique limit cycle. These conditions can be easily verified directly according to the parameters in the systems, and play an important role in giving birth to two limit cycles for general PWL systems. In this step, the tool of a Bendixon-like theorem is successfully employed to derive the existence of a limit cycle. Secondly, making use of the results gained in the first step, we obtain parameter regions where the general PWL systems have at least one, at least two and no limit cycles respectively. In addition for the general PWL systems, some sufficient conditions are presented for the existence and stability of a unique one and exactly two limit cycles respectively. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the results and especially to show the existence and stability of two nested limit cycles.     

Equidistribution of saddle periodic points for Hénon-type automorphisms of $$\mathbb {C}^k$$

In this paper, we prove the equidistribution of saddle periodic points for Hénon-type automorphisms of \(\mathbb {C}^k\) with respect to its equilibrium measure. A general strategy to obtain equidistribution properties in any dimension is presented. It is based on our recent theory of densities for positive closed currents. Several fine properties of dynamical currents are also proved.     

Inf–sup conditions for twofold saddle point problems

Necessary and sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions are developed for twofold saddle point problems which arise in mixed formulations of problems in continuum mechanics. This work extends the classical saddle point theory to accommodate nonlinear constitutive relations and the twofold saddle structure. Application to problems in incompressible fluid mechanics employing symmetric tensor finite elements for the stress approximation is presented.     

Multigrid methods for saddle point problems: Stokes and Lamé systems

We develop new multigrid methods for a class of saddle point problems that include the Stokes system in fluid flow and the Lamé system in linear elasticity as special cases. The new smoothers in the multigrid methods involve optimal preconditioners for the discrete Laplace operator. We prove uniform convergence of the \(W\) -cycle algorithm in the energy norm and present numerical results for \(W\) -cycle and \(V\) -cycle algorithms.     

Convergence analysis of the corrected Uzawa algorithmfor symmetric saddle point problems简

For the large sparse saddle point problems, Pan and Li recently proposed in [H. K. Pan, W. Li, Math. Numer. Sinica, 2009, 31（3）： 231-242] a corrected Uzawa algorithm based on a nonlinear Uzawa algorithm with two nonlinear approximate inverses, and gave the detailed convergence analysis. In this paper, we focus on the convergence analysis of this corrected Uzawa algorithm, some inaccuracies in [H. K. Pan, W. Li, Math. Numer. Sinica, 2009, 31（3）： 231-242] are pointed out, and a corrected convergence theorem is presented. A special case of this modified Uzawa algorithm is also discussed.     

A globally linearly convergent method for pointwise quadratically supportable convex–concave saddle point problems

We study the Proximal Alternating Predictor–Corrector (PAPC) algorithm introduced recently by Drori, Sabach and Teboulle [8] to solve nonsmooth structured convex–concave saddle point problems consisting of the sum of a smooth convex function, a finite collection of nonsmooth convex functions and bilinear terms. We introduce the notion of pointwise quadratic supportability, which is a relaxation of a standard strong convexity assumption and allows us to show that the primal sequence is R-linearly convergent to an optimal solution and the primal-dual sequence is globally Q-linearly convergent. We illustrate the proposed method on total variation denoising problems and on locally adaptive estimation in signal/image deconvolution and denoising with multiresolution statistical constraints.     

Sums of Squares of Integers

We find a formula for the sum of the first n squares:Sn = 12 22 32 42 … n2.We haveS1 = 1, S2 = 12 22 = 5, S3 = l2 22 32 = 14,S4 = 30, S5 = 55, S6 = 91.and so on. To make things a little simpler, we will also use the sum of the squares of the first zero terms , S0 = 02 = 0. Arranging these values in a table,we find thatSince the third differenes △3Sn are constant,these data values must follow a cubic pattern;that is, the formula for the sum of the squares of the first n integers is a cubic function,

Stability of Solution of a Class of Quasilinear Elliptic Equations

In this paper, using capacity theory and extension theorem of Lipschitz functions we first discuss the uniqueness of weak solution of nonhomogeneous quasilinear elliptic equationsin space W(θ,p)(Ω), which is bigger than W1,p(Ω). Next, using revise reverse Holder inequality we prove that if ωc is uniformly p-think, then there exists a neighborhood U of p, such that for all t ∈U, the weak solutions of equation corresponding t are bounded uniformly. Finally, we get the stability of weak solutions on exponent p.     

Vertices of π-Irreducible Characters of Groups of Odd Order

If G is a group of odd order and χ ∈ Irr(G) lifts an irreducible Brauer character ?, then we associate to χ a canonical pair (Q, δ) up to G-conjugacy, where Q is a vertex of ? and δ ∈ Irr(Q) is a linear character of Q. We show that (Q, δ) is a Navarro vertex for χ. We also discuss examples.

We establish upper bounds for a group of *-deviations of Faber sums on the classes of -integrals in a complex plane introduced by Stepanets.Translated from Ukrainskyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 56, No. 4, pp. 451–461, April, 2004.     

Correlation of zeros of automorphic L-functions

We compute the n-level correlation of normalized nontrivial zeros of a product of L-functions:L(s,π1)···L(s,πk), where πj, j=1,...,k, are automorphic cuspidal representations of GLmj(QA). Here the sizes of the groups GLmj(QA) are not necessarily the same. When these L(s,πj) are distinct, we prove that their nontrivial zeros are uncorrelated, as predicted by random matrix theory and verified numerically. When L(s,πj) are not necessarily distinct, our results will lead to a proof that the n-level correlation of normalized nontrivial zeros of the product L-function follows the superposition of Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) models of individual L-functions and products of lower rank GUEs. The results are unconditional when m1,...,mk 4,but are under Hypothesis H in other cases.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the complexity of models by theirdegrees of unsolvability,J.Richter defined the degree of a structure to be deg ()=sup{deg(),deg(R_i),i=1,…,n},Where is a model for afinite language L={R_i,i=1,…,n}and the universe of is a subset of ω. Shepointed out that, according to her definition, there can be models which areisomorphic but their degrees are different.Also,her discussions are restricted tofinite languages and models whose universes are subsets of ω.     

Group of Self-Equivalences of Sum Object

In general category, the group of self-equivalences of sum object can decompose as the product of its two subgroups under certain conditions and also several split short exact sequences are obtained. Subsequently, we apply the above results to the category of space under a space and get some results which are dual to those in fibrewise category.
