A Note on q‐Integrals and Certain Generating Functions

In this paper, generalizations of certain q‐integrals are given by the method of q‐difference equation, which involves the Andrews–Askey integral. In addition, some mixed generating functions for generalized Rogers–Szegö polynomials are obtained by the technique of q‐integral. More over, generating functions for generalized Andrews–Askey polynomials are achieved by q‐integral.     

Combined boundary integral equations for acoustic scattering‐resonance problems

In this paper, boundary integral formulations for a time‐harmonic acoustic scattering‐resonance problem are analyzed. The eigenvalues of eigenvalue problems resulting from boundary integral formulations for scattering‐resonance problems split in general into two parts. One part consists of scattering‐resonances, and the other one corresponds to eigenvalues of some Laplacian eigenvalue problem for the interior of the scatterer. The proposed combined boundary integral formulations enable a better separation of the unwanted spectrum from the scattering‐resonances, which allows in practical computations a reliable and simple identification of the scattering‐resonances in particular for non‐convex domains. The convergence of conforming Galerkin boundary element approximations for the combined boundary integral formulations of the resonance problem is shown in canonical trace spaces. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On a mixed Kernel Hilbert‐type integral inequality and its operator expressions with norm

By using some real analysis techniques, we study the structural characteristics of a multi‐parameter Hilbert‐type integral inequality with the hybrid kernel and obtain some equivalent conditions for this inequality. We also consider the operator expression of the equivalent inequalities. The conclusions not only integrate some results of references but also find some new Hilbert‐type integral inequalities with simple form by choosing suitable parameter values.     

Second order nonlocal boundary value problems at resonance

We present sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions for some second order boundary value problems at resonance. The boundary conditions that we study are quite general, involve a Stieltjes integral and include, as particular cases, multi‐point and integral boundary conditions. Our results are based on a Leggett‐Williams norm‐type theorem due to O'Regan and Zima. We employ a general abstract approach which allows us to improve and complement recent results in the literature. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim     

A numerical solution for advection‐diffusion equation using dual reciprocity method

This article describes a numerical method based on the boundary integral equation and dual reciprocity method(DRM) for solving the one‐dimensional advection‐diffusion equations. The concept of DRM is used to convert the domain integral to the boundary that leads to an integration free method. The time derivative is approximated by the time‐stepping method. Numerical results are presented for some problems to demonstrate the usefulness and accuracy of the new approach. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2013     

A new analytical technique to solve Volterra's integral equations

The purpose of the present paper is to show that the well‐known homotopy analysis method for solving ordinary and partial differential equations can be applied to solve linear and nonlinear integral equations of Volterra's type with high accuracy as well. Comparison of the present method with Adomian decomposition method (ADM), a well‐known method to solve integral equations, reveals that the ADM is only especial case of the present method. Furthermore, some illustrating examples such as linear, nonlinear and singular integral equations of Volterra's type are given to show high efficiency with reliable accuracy of the method.

Collocation discretization for an integral equation in ocean acoustics with depth‐dependent speed of sound

We analyze two collocation schemes for the Helmholtz equation with depth‐dependent sonic wave velocity, modeling time‐harmonic acoustic wave propagation in a three‐dimensional inhomogeneous ocean of finite height. Both discretization schemes are derived from a periodized version of the Lippmann‐Schwinger integral equation that equivalently describes the sound wave. The eigenfunctions of the corresponding periodized integral operator consist of trigonometric polynomials in the horizontal variables and eigenfunctions to some Sturm‐Liouville operator linked to the background profile of the sonic wave velocity in the vertical variable. Applying an interpolation projection onto a space spanned by finitely many of these eigenfunctions to either the unknown periodized wave field or the integral operator yields two different collocation schemes. A convergence estimate of Sloan [J. Approx. Theory, 39:97–117, 1983] on non‐polynomial interpolation allows to show converge of both schemes, together with algebraic convergence rates depending on the smoothness of the inhomogeneity and the source.

Multi‐periodic eigensolutions to the Dirac operator and applications to the generalized Helmholtz equation on flat cylinders and on the n‐torus

In this paper, we study the solutions to the generalized Helmholtz equation with complex parameter on some conformally flat cylinders and on the n‐torus. Using the Clifford algebra calculus, the solutions can be expressed as multi‐periodic eigensolutions to the Dirac operator associated with a complex parameter λ∈?. Physically, these can be interpreted as the solutions to the time‐harmonic Maxwell equations on these manifolds. We study their fundamental properties and give an explicit representation theorem of all these solutions and develop some integral representation formulas. In particular, we set up Green‐type formulas for the cylindrical and toroidal Helmholtz operator. As a concrete application, we explicitly solve the Dirichlet problem for the cylindrical Helmholtz operator on the half cylinder. Finally, we introduce hypercomplex integral operators on these manifolds, which allow us to represent the solutions to the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation with given boundary data on cylinders and on the n‐torus.

Mass‐in‐mass lattices with small internal resonators

We consider the mass‐in‐mass (MiM) lattice when the internal resonators are very small. When there are no internal resonators the lattice reduces to a standard Fermi‐Pasta‐Ulam‐Tsingou (FPUT) system. We show that the solution of the MiM system, with suitable initial data, shadows the FPUT system for long periods of time. Using some classical oscillatory integral estimates we can conclude that the error of the approximation is (in some settings) higher than one may expect.     

Oseen coupling method for the exterior flow. Part II: Well‐posedness analysis

In this paper, we recall the Oseen coupling method for solving the exterior unsteady Navier–Stokes equations with the non‐homogeneous boundary conditions. Moreover, we derive the coupling variational formulation of the Oseen coupling problem by using of the integral representations of the solution of the Oseen equations at an infinity domain. Finally, we provide some properties of the integral operators over the artificial boundary and the well‐posedness of the coupling variational formulation.

Solvability of singular integral system connected with seismic waves around the borehole

We study in this article a boundary‐value problem arising in the propagation of waves in an elastic half‐space covered by a layer with a vertical borehole. We first show a uniqueness theorem under some restrictions on the solution. For the existence, we use the direct integral equation method. We obtain a singular integral system on the half‐line. For the solvability, we reduce this system to an elliptic pseudodifferential equation and establish the Fredholm property. Finally, we compute the index of the associated operator for various values of Poisson's ratio. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Monogenic plane waves and the W‐functional calculus

In this paper, we introduce some integral transforms that map slice monogenic functions to monogenic functions. We then show that one of these integral transforms, which is based on the Cauchy formula of slice monogenic functions, is useful to define a functional calculus depending on a parameter for n‐tuples of bounded operators.

Bounded BCK‐algebras and their generated variety

In this paper we prove that the equational class generated by bounded BCK‐algebras is the variety generated by the class of finite simple bounded BCK‐algebras. To obtain these results we prove that every simple algebra in the equational class generated by bounded BCK‐algebras is also a relatively simple bounded BCK‐algebra. Moreover, we show that every simple bounded BCK‐algebra can be embedded into a simple integral commutative bounded residuated lattice. We extend our main results to some richer subreducts of the class of integral commutative bounded residuated lattices and to the involutive case. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Besov‐Morrey spaces and Triebel‐Lizorkin‐Morrey spaces for nondoubling measures

We define Morrey type Besov‐Triebel spaces with the underlying measure non‐doubling. After defining the function spaces, we investigate boundedness property of some class of the singular integral operators (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Two classes of conformable fractional Sturm‐Liouville problems: Theory and applications

In this paper, we investigate in more detail some useful theorems related to conformable fractional derivative (CFD) and integral and introduce two classes of conformable fractional Sturm‐Liouville problems (CFSLPs): namely, regular and singular CFSLPs. For both classes, we study some of the basic properties of the Sturm‐Liouville theory. In the class of r‐CFSLPs, we discuss two types of CFSLPs which include left‐ and right‐sided CFDs, each of order α∈(n,n+1], and prove properties of the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions in a certain Hilbert space. Also, we apply a fixed‐point theorem for proving the existence and uniqueness of the eigenfunctions. As an operator for the class of s‐CFSLPs, we first derive two fractional types of the hypergeometric differential equations of order α∈(0,1] and obtain their analytical eigensolutions as Gauss hypergeometric functions. Afterwards, we define the conformable fractional Legendre polynomial/functions (CFLP/Fs) as Jacobi polynomial and investigate their basic properties. Moreover, the conformable fractional integral Legendre transforms (CFILTs) based on CFLP/Fs‐I and ‐II are introduced, and using these new transforms, an effective procedure for solving explicitly certain ordinary and partial conformable fractional differential equations (CFDEs) are given. Finally, as a theoretical application, some fractional diffusion equations are solved.     

Sobolev‐Jawerth embedding of Triebel‐Lizorkin‐Morrey‐Lorentz spaces and fractional integral operator on Hardy type spaces

A Sobolev type embedding for Triebel‐Lizorkin‐Morrey‐Lorentz spaces is established in this paper. As an application of this result, the boundedness of the fractional integral operator on some generalizations of Hardy spaces such as Hardy‐Morrey spaces and Hardy‐Lorentz spaces are obtained.     

Schwarz problem for higher‐order complex partial differential equations in the upper half plane

Linear and nonlinear elliptic complex partial differential equations of higher‐order are considered under Schwarz conditions in the upper‐half plane. Firstly, using the integral representations for the solutions of the inhomogeneous polyanalytic equation with Schwarz conditions, a class of integral operators is introduced together with some of their properties. Then, these operators are used to transform the problem for linear equations into singular integral equations. In the case of nonlinear equations such a transformation yields a system of integro‐differential equations. Existence of the solutions of the relevant boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear equations are discussed via Fredholm theory and fixed point theorems, respectively.     

Perturbed Laguerre unitary ensembles,Hankel determinants,and information theory

This article investigates a key information‐theoretic performance metric in multiple‐antenna wireless communications, the so‐called outage probability. The article is partly a review, with the methodology based mainly on [10], while also presenting some new results. The outage probability may be expressed in terms of a moment generating function, which involves a Hankel determinant generated from a perturbed Laguerre weight. For this Hankel determinant, we present two separate integral representations, both involving solutions to certain non‐linear differential equations. In the second case, this is identified with a particular σ‐form of Painlevé V. As an alternative to the Painlevé V, we show that this second integral representation may also be expressed in terms of a non‐linear second order difference equation.

Noncompact‐type Krasnoselskii fixed‐point theorems and their applications

In this paper, we first establish some user‐friendly versions of fixed‐point theorems for the sum of two operators in the setting that the involved operators are not necessarily compact and continuous. These fixed‐point results generalize, encompass, and complement a number of previously known generalizations of the Krasnoselskii fixed‐point theorem. Next, with these obtained fixed‐point results, we study the existence of solutions for a class of transport equations, the existence of global solutions for a class of Darboux problems on the first quadrant, the existence and/or uniqueness of periodic solutions for a class of difference equations, and the existence and/or uniqueness of solutions for some kind of perturbed Volterra‐type integral equations.
