On the Volterra integrodifferential equations and applications

For the generator A of a C ₀-semigroup on a Banach space (X, ∥·∥), we apply the perturbation of Desch-Schappacher type to solve the Volterra integordifferential equation VE $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} \frac{{du\left( t \right)}}{{dt}} = A\left( {u\left( t \right) + \int_0^t {a\left( {t - s} \right)B_1 u\left( s \right)ds + B_2 u\left( t \right) + B_3 f\left( t \right)} } \right) \hfill \\ + \int_0^t {b\left( {t - s} \right)B_4 u\left( s \right)ds + B_5 u\left( t \right) + g\left( t \right),t \geqslant 0,} \hfill \\ u\left( 0 \right) = u_0 , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ > which can be applied to treat boundary value problems and inhomogeneous retarded differential equations.     

Some approximation theorems for modified Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators

The modified Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators discussed in this paper are given byM_nf≡M_n(f,x)=(n+2)P_(n,k)∫_0~1p_n+1.k(t)f(t)dt,whereWe will show,for 0<α<1 and 1≤p≤∞     

Continuous dependence for integrodifferential equations with infinite delay

Continuous dependence for integrodifferential equation with infinite delay $$\begin{gathered} \dot x = h(t,x) + \int_{ \sim \infty }^t {q(t,s,x(s))ds} + F(t,x(t),Sx(t))t \geqslant 0 \hfill \\ x(t) = \Phi (t) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where \(Sx(t) = \int_{ \sim \infty }^t {k(t,s,x(s))} ds\) is studied under the assumption of existence of unique solution.     

Hyperbolic stochastic differential equations: Absolute continuity of the LKW of the solution at a fixed point

LetW be the Wiener process onT=[0, 1]². Consider the stochastic integral equation $$\begin{gathered} X_\zeta = x_0 + \int_{R_\zeta } {a_1 (\zeta \prime )X(s\prime ,dt\prime )ds\prime + } \int_{R_\zeta } {a_2 (\zeta \prime )X(ds\prime ,t\prime )dt\prime } \hfill \\ + \int_{R_\zeta } {a_3 (X_{\zeta \prime , } \zeta \prime )W(ds\prime ,dt\prime ) + } \int_{R_\zeta } {a_4 (X_{\zeta \prime , } \zeta \prime )ds\prime ,dt\prime ,} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereR _ζ =(s, t) ∈ T, andx ₀ ∈ ?. Under some assumptions on the coefficients a_i, the existence and uniqueness of a solution for this stochastic integral equation is already known (see [6]). In this paper we present some sufficient conditions for the law ofX _ζ to have a density.     

The formula for the number of order-preserving selfmappings of a fence

LetY be a fence of sizem andr=?m?1/2?. The numberb(m) of order-preserving selfmappings ofY is equal toA _r-B_r-C_r-D_r, where, ifm is odd, $$\begin{gathered} A_r = 2(r + 1)\sum\limits_{s = 0}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ {2s} \\ \end{array} } \right)} 4^s , B_r = 2r\sum\limits_{s = 1}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right),} \hfill \\ C_r = 4r\sum\limits_{s = 0}^{r - 1} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right), D_r = \sum\limits_{s = 0}^{r - 1} {(2s + 1)} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . Ifm is even, a similar formula forb(m) is true. The key trick in the proof is a one-to-one correspondence between order-preserving selfmappings ofY and pairs consisted of a partition ofY and a strictly increasing mapping of a subfence ofY toY.     

The number of strictly increasing mappings of fences

Let X and Y be fences of size n and m, respectively and n, m be either both even or both odd integers (i.e., |m-n| is an even integer). Let \(r = \left\lfloor {{{(n - 1)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{(n - 1)} 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} \right\rfloor\) . If 1<n<-m then there are \(a_{n,m} = (m + 1)2^{n - 2} - 2(n - 1)(\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - 2} \\ r \\ \end{array} )\) of strictly increasing mappings of X to Y. If 1<-m<-n<-2m and s=1/2(n?m) then there are a _n,m+b _n,m+c _n of such mappings, where $$\begin{gathered} b_{n,m} = 8\sum\limits_{i = 0}^{s - 2} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {m + 2i + 1} \\ l \\ \end{array} } \right)4^{s - 2 - 1} } \hfill \\ {\text{ }}c_n = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right){\text{ if both }}n,m{\text{ are even;}} \hfill \\ {\text{ 0 if both }}n,m{\text{ are odd}}{\text{.}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$      

Eventual uniform asymptotic stability for stochastic differential equation based on semimartingale with spatial parameter

Given a stochastic differential equation based on semimartingale with spatial parameter (1) $$\varphi _t = x_0 + \int_{t_0 }^t {F(\varphi _s ,ds) } on t \geqslant t_0 $$ and it perturbed system (2) $$\psi _t = x_0 + \int_{t_0 }^t {F\left( {\psi \alpha _s , ds} \right)} + \int_{t_0 }^t {G\left( {\psi _s , ds} \right)} on t \geqslant t_0 $$ In this paper we give some sufficient conditions under which the eventual uniform asymptotic stability of Eq. (1) is shared by Eq. (2).     

Oscillation of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations of neutral type

In this paper, we deal with the oscillatory behavior of solutions of the neutral partial differential equation of the form $$\begin{gathered} \frac{\partial }{{\partial t}}\left[ {p\left( t \right)\frac{\partial }{{\partial t}}(u\left( {x,t} \right) + \sum\limits_{i = 1}^t {p_i \left( t \right)u\left( {x,t - \tau _i } \right)} )} \right] + q\left( {x,t} \right)f_j (u(x,\sigma _j (t))) \hfill \\ = a\left( t \right)\Delta u\left( {x,t} \right) + \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {a_k \left( t \right)} \Delta u\left( {x,\rho _k \left( t \right)} \right), \left( {x,t} \right) \in \Omega \times R_ + \equiv G \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where Δ is the Laplacian in EuclideanN-spaceR ^N, R₊=(0, ∞) and Ω is a bounded domain inR ^N with a piecewise smooth boundary δΩ.

L p inequalities for polynomials with restricted zeros

LetP(z) be a polynomial of degreen which does not vanish in the disk |z|<k. It has been proved that for eachp>0 andk≥1, $$\begin{gathered} \left\{ {\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {P^{(s)} (e^{i\theta } )} \right|^p d\theta } } \right\}^{1/p} \leqslant n(n - 1) \cdots (n - s + 1) B_p \hfill \\ \times \left\{ {\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {P(e^{i\theta } )} \right|^p d\theta } } \right\}^{1/p} , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where $B_p = \left\{ {\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {k^s + e^{i\alpha } } \right|^p d\alpha } } \right\}^{ - 1/p} $ andP ^(s)(z) is thesth derivative ofP(z). This result generalizes well-known inequality due to De Bruijn. Asp→∞, it gives an inequality due to Govil and Rahman which as a special case gives a result conjectured by Erdös and first proved by Lax.

Mean value of weyl sums

We give a simple proof of a mean value theorem of I. M. Vinogradov in the following form. Suppose P, n, k, τ are integers, P≥1, n≥2, k≥n (τ+1), τ≥0. Put $$J_{k,n} (P) = \int_0^1 \cdots \int_0^1 {\left| {\sum\nolimits_{x = 1}^P {e^{2\pi i(a_1 x + \cdots + a_n x^n )} } } \right|^{2k} da_1 \ldots da_n .} $$ Then $$J_{k,n} \leqslant n!k^{2n\tau } n^{\sigma n^2 u} \cdot 2^{2n^2 \tau } P^{2k - \Delta } ,$$ where $$\begin{gathered} u = u_\tau = min(n + 1,\tau ), \hfill \\ \Delta = \Delta _\tau = n(n + 1)/2 - (1 - 1/n)^{\tau + 1} n^2 /2. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$      

Remarks on eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a special elliptic system

LetΛ ₁(Ω) be the first eigenvalue of the vector-valued problem $$\begin{gathered} \Delta u + \alpha grad div u + \Delta u = 0 in \Omega , \hfill \\ u = 0 in \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ , withα>0. Letλ ₁(Ω) be the first eigenvalue of the scalar problem $$\begin{gathered} \Delta u + \lambda u = 0 in \Omega , \hfill \\ u = 0 on \partial \Omega . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . The paper contains a proof of the inequality $$\left( {1 + \frac{\alpha }{n}} \right)\lambda _1 \left( \Omega \right) > \Lambda _1 \left( \Omega \right) > \left( \Omega \right)$$ and improves recent estimates of Sprössig [15] and Levine and Protter [11]. Moreover we show, ifΩ is a ball, that an eigensolution u₁, associated withΛ ₁(Ω) is not unique and that the eigensolutions for this and higher eigenvalues are never rotationally invariant. Finally we calculate some eigensolutions explicitly.     

Properties of kagi and renko moments for homogeneous diffusion processes

For a homogeneous diffusion process (X _t ) _t?0, we consider problems related to the distribution of the stopping times $\begin{gathered} \gamma _{\max } = \inf \{ t \geqslant 0:\mathop {\sup }\limits_{s \leqslant t} X_s - X_t \geqslant H\} ,\gamma _{\min } = \inf \{ t \geqslant 0:X_t - \mathop {\inf }\limits_{s \leqslant t} X_s \geqslant H\} , \hfill \\ \kappa _0 = \inf \{ t \geqslant 0:\mathop {\sup }\limits_{s \leqslant t} X_s - \mathop {\inf }\limits_{s \leqslant t} X_s \geqslant H\} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ . The results obtained are used to construct an inductive procedure allowing us to find the distribution of the increments of the process X between two adjacent kagi and renko instants of time.     

Three Topological Problems about Integral Functionals on Sobolev Spaces

In this paper, I propose some problems, of topological nature, on the energy functional associated to the Dirichlet problem $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} - \Delta {\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} u = f\left( {x,u} \right){\text{in}}\Omega \hfill \\ u_{\left| {\wp \Omega } \right.} = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ Positive answers to these problems would produce innovative multiplicity results on problem (P_f).     

Boundary parametrization of planar self-affine tiles with collinear digit set

We consider a class of planar self-affine tiles T = M-1 a∈D(T + a) generated by an expanding integral matrix M and a collinear digit set D as follows:M =(0-B 1-A),D = {(00),...,(|B|0-1)}.We give a parametrization S1 →T of the boundary of T with the following standard properties.It is H¨older continuous and associated with a sequence of simple closed polygonal approximations whose vertices lie on T and have algebraic preimages.We derive a new proof that T is homeomorphic to a disk if and only if 2|A| |B + 2|.

Optimal stationary linear control of the Wiener process

In the present paper, we consider the following stochastic control problem: to minimize the average expected total cost $$J(x,u) = \mathop {\lim \inf }\limits_{T \to \infty } (1/T)E_x^u \int_0^T {\left[ {\phi (\xi _t ) + |u_t (\xi )|} \right]} dt,$$ 〈subject to $$d\xi _t = u_1 (\xi )dt + dw_t , \xi _0 = x, |u| \leqslant 1,$$ (w _t) a Wiener process, with all measurable functions on the past of the state process {ξ _s ;s≤t} and bounded by unity, admissible as controls. It is proved that, under very mild conditions on the running cost function φ(·), the optimal law is of the form $$\begin{gathered} u_t^* (\xi ) = - sign\xi _t , |\xi _t | > b, \hfill \\ u_t^* (\xi ) = 0, |\xi _t | > b. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ The cutoff pointb and the performance rate of the optimal lawu* are simultaneously determined in terms of the function φ(·) through a simple system of integrotranscendental equations.     

Second order linear Volterra integrodifferential equations

In this paper we study mild and classical solutions of the second order linear Volterra integrodifferential equation $$(VE^f )\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u''(t) = Au(t) + {\text{ }}\int_0^t {B(t - s)u(s)ds + f(t){\text{ }}for{\text{ }}t \in [0,T]} } \\ {u(0) = x{\text{ }}and{\text{ }}u'(0) = y,} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ whereA is a closed linear operator whose domainD(A) is not necessarily dense in a Banach spaceX, and {B(t)|t≥0} is a family of bounded linear operators from the Banach space,D(A) endowed with the graph norm intoX. We also give two examples to illustrate the abstract results.
