THE NEAR DIFFERENCE SETS OF TYPE 2 WITH PARAMETERS (9λ+6, 3λ+1, λ)

It is proved in this paper that the number of the near difference sets of type 2 with parameters ( 9λ +6, 3λ+1, λ) is finite by studying the relationship between the cyclic sequence and its normai subsequences. It is determined accordingly that there exists a ( 9λ + 6, 3λ + 1, λ) -near difference set of type 2 if and only if λ. = 1 or 2. Together with the results of [1,2,3,4] we can conclude that there are only 6 groups of parameters corresponding to the near difference sets of type 2 if k ≤ 3λ 4+2 .     

THE NONLINEAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR k HOLOMORPHIC FUNCTIONS IN C2

k holomorphic functions are a type of generation of holomorphic functions. In this paper, a nonlinear boundary value problem for k holomorphic functions is primarily discussed on generalized polycylinders in C². The existence of the solution for the problem is studied in detail with the help of the boundary properties of Cauchy type singular integral operators with a k holomorphic kernel. Furthermore, the integral representation for the solution is obtained.     

逐步Ⅰ型混合截尾竞争失效模型的贝叶斯分析（英文）

In this paper, we construct a Bayesian framework combining Type-Ⅰ progressively hybrid censoring scheme and competing risks which are independently distributed as exponentiated Weibull distribution with one scale parameter and two shape parameters. Since there exist unknown hyper-parameters in prior density functions of shape parameters, we consider the hierarchical priors to obtain the individual marginal posterior density functions,Bayesian estimates and highest posterior density credible intervals. As explicit expressions of estimates cannot be obtained, the componentwise updating algorithm of Metropolis-Hastings method is employed to compute the numerical results. Finally, it is concluded that Bayesian estimates have a good performance.     

Applications of BGP-reflection functors: isomorphisms of cluster algebras

Given a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix A, for any index k, one can define an automorphism associated with A, of the field Q(u1,…, un) of rational functions of n independent indeterminates u1,…,un.It is an isomorphism between two cluster algebras associated to the matrix A (see sec. 4 for the precise meaning). When A is of finite type, these isomorphisms behave nicely; they are compatible with the BGP-reflection functors of cluster categories defined in a previous work if we identify the indecomposable objects in the categories with cluster variables of the corresponding cluster algebras, and they are also compatible with the "truncated simple reflections" defined by Fomin-Zelevinsky. Using the construction of preprojective or preinjective modules of hereditary algebras by DIab-Ringel and the Coxeter automorphisms (i.e. a product of these isomorphisms), we construct infinitely many cluster variables for cluster algebras of infinite type and all cluster variables for finite types.     

Nonexistence in power and gamma density regression, sum of nonnegative terms

When we use the power function α(c x)^b and gamma density αx^be^-cx to fit the data by the least squares method, we have to address the question of existence. The closure of the set of each type of these functions defined on a finite domain is determined. We derive a way to determine the closure of a sum of nonnegative functions if the closures of the summands are available.     

ZONAL SPHERICAL POLYNOMIALS WITH MINIMAL L_1-NORM

Radial functions have become a useful tool in numerical mathematics. On the sphere they have to be identified with the zonal functions. We investigate zonal polynomials with mass concentration at the pole, in the sense of their L1-norm is attaining the minimum value. Such polynomials satisfy a complicated system of nonlinear e-quations (algebraic if the space dimension is odd, only) and also a singular differential equation of third order. The exact order of decay of the minimum value with respect to the polynomial degree is determined. By our results we can prove that some nodal systems on the sphere, which are defined by a minimum-property, are providing fundamental matrices which are diagonal-dominant or bounded with respect to the ∞-norm, at least, as the polynomial degree tends to infinity.     

ON THE COMMUTATORS OF SINGULAR INTEGRAL OPERATORS

Lp(Rn) (1＜p＜∞) boundedness and a weak type endpoint estimate are considered for the commutators of singular integral operators. A condition on the associated kernel is given under which the L2(Rn) boundedness of the singular integral operators implies the Lp(Rn) boundedness (1＜p＜∞) and the weak type (H1(Rn), L1(Rn))boundedness for the corresponding commutators. A new interpolation theorem is also established.     

Asymptotic Property of Approximation to xαgnx by Newman Type Operators

The approximation of ｜x｜ by rational functions is a classical rationalproblem. This paper deals with the rational approximation of the function xasgnx, which equals ｜x｜ if α=1. We construct a Newman type operator rn（x） and show max｜x｜≤1{｜x^αsgnx-rn（x）｜}-Cn-α/2e-√2nα where C is a constant depending on α.     

ON QUINTIC K-3 SURFACES

If a non-normal quintic surface is birational to a K3 surface,then there are threepossibilities:either it is singular along a conic;or it is singular along two mutuallyintersecting lines;or it is singular along a line and has an isolated triple point outside theline.Conversely if a K3 surface contains a hyperelliptic curve of genus three with anode or simple cusp,then it is birational to a quintic surface of the first type mentionedabove.For the other two cases,the minimal models are also characterized.     

Extremals in some classes of Carnot groups

Let G be a Carnot group and D={e 1,e 2 } be a bracket generating left invariant distribution on G.In this paper,we obtain two main results.We first prove that there only exist normal minimizers in G if the type of D is (2,1,...,1) or (2,1,...,1,2).This immediately leads to the fact that there are only normal minimizers in the Goursat manifolds.As one corollary,we also obtain that there are only normal minimizers when dim G 5.We construct a class of Carnot groups such as that of type (2,1,...,1,2,n 0,...,n a) with n 0 1,n i 0,i=1,...,a,in which there exist strictly abnormal extremals.This implies that,for any given manifold of dimension n 6,we can find a class of n-dimensional Carnot groups having strictly abnormal minimizers.We conclude that the dimension n=5 is the border line for the existence and nonexistence of strictly abnormal extremals.Our main technique is based on the equations for the normal and abnormal extremals.     

Testing Lack-of-fit for a Polynomial Errors-in-variables Model

When a regression model is applied as an approximation of underlying model of data, the model checking is important and relevant. In this paper, we investigate the lack-of-fit test for a polynomial error-in-variables model. As the ordinary residuals are biased when there exist measurement errors in covariables,we correct them and then construct a residual-based test of score type. The constructed test is asymptotically chi-squared under null hypotheses. Simulation study shows that the test can maintain the significance level well.The choice of weight functions involved in the test statistic and the related power study are also investigated.The application to two examples is illustrated. The approach can be readily extended to handle more general models.     

SUPERCONVERGENCE ANALYSIS OF FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS OF THE STATIONARY BENARD TYPE

In this paper, we consider the finite element approximation of the distributed optimal control problems of the stationary Benard type under the pointwise control constraint. The states and the co-states are approximated by polynomial functions of lowest-order mixed finite element space or piecewise linear functions and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We give the superconvergence analysis for the control; it is proved that the approximation has a second-order rate of convergence. We further give the superconvergence analysis for the states and the co-states. Then we derive error estimates in L^∞-norm and optimal error estimates in L^2-norm.     

Asymptotic Property of Approximation to x~αsgnx by Newman Type Operators

The approximation of |x| by rational functions is a classical rational problem.This paper deals with the rational approximation of the function x~αsgnx, which equals |x| ifα=1.We construct a Newman type operator r_n(x) and show {|x~αsgnx-r_n(x)|}～Cn~(-(α/2)e-(2nα)~(1/2)), where C is a constant depending onα.     

Pentavalent symmetric graphs of order 2p3

A graph is symmetric or 1-regular if its automorphism group is transitive or regular on the arc set of the graph, respectively. We classify the connected pentavalent symmetric graphs of order 2p~3 for each prime p. All those symmetric graphs appear as normal Cayley graphs on some groups of order 2p~3 and their automorphism groups are determined. For p = 3, no connected pentavalent symmetric graphs of order 2p~3 exist. However, for p = 2 or 5, such symmetric graph exists uniquely in each case. For p 7, the connected pentavalent symmetric graphs of order 2p~3 are all regular covers of the dipole Dip5 with covering transposition groups of order p~3, and they consist of seven infinite families; six of them are 1-regular and exist if and only if 5 |(p- 1), while the other one is 1-transitive but not 1-regular and exists if and only if 5 |(p ± 1). In the seven infinite families, each graph is unique for a given order.     

Logistic型方程周期解和概周期解的存在性

In this paper, we study the Logistic type equation x= a（t）x -b（t）x^2＋ e（t）. Under the assumptions that e（t） is small enough and a（t）, b（t） are contained in some positive intervals, we prove that this equation has a positive bounded solution which is stable. Moreover, this solution is a periodic solution if a（t）, b（t） and e（t） are periodic functions, and this solution is an almost periodic solution if a（t）, b（t） and e（t） are almost periodic functions.     

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE NONLINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS

This paper is concerned with the large time behavior for solutions of the nonlinear parabolic equations in whole spaces R^n. The spectral decomposition methods of Laplace operator are applied and it is proved that if the initial data u0∈ L^2 ∩ L^r for 1 ≤ r ≤ 2, then the solutions decay in L^2 norm at t^-n/2(1/r-1/2). The decay rates are optimal in the sense that they coincide with the decay rates of the solutions to the heat equations with the same initial data.

On （α,β）-Metrics of Scalar Flag Curvature with Constant S-curvature

In this paper, we study （α,β）-metrics of scalar flag curvature on a manifold M of dimension n （n 〉 3）. Suppose that an （α,β）-metric F is not a Finsler metric of Randers type, that is, F ≠k1 V√α^2 ＋ k2β^2 ＋ k3β, where k1 〉 0, k2 and k3 are scalar functions on M. We prove that F is of scalar flag curvature and of vanishing S-curvature if metric. In this case, F is a locally Minkowski and only if the flag curvature K = 0 and F is a Berwald metric.     

Generalized Logan's Problem for Entire Functions of Exponential Type and Optimal Argument in Jackson's Inequality in L_2(R~3)

We study Jackson's inequality between the best approximation of a function f ∈ L_2(R~3) by entire functions of exponential spherical type and its generalized modulus of continuity.We prove Jackson's inequality with the exact constant and the optimal argument in the modulus of continuity.In particular,Jackson's inequality with the optimal parameters is obtained for classical modulus of continuity of order r and Thue–Morse modulus of continuity of order r ∈ N.These results are based on the solution of the generalized Logan problem for entire functions of exponential type.For it we construct a new quadrature formulas for entire functions of exponential type.
