Existence of solutions for singular boundary problems for higher order differential equations

We offer sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions for the boundary value problem $\begin{gathered} y(n) + f(t,y,y^1 ,...,y^{(n - 2)} = 0, 0< t< 1, n \geqslant 2 \\ y^{(i)} (0) = 0, 0 \leqslant i \leqslant n - 3 \\ y^{(n - 2)} (0) - \beta y^{(n - 1)} (0) = 0 \\ \gamma y^{(n - 2)} (1) + \delta y^{(n - 1)} (1) = 0 \\ \end{gathered} $ where α, β, γ and δ are constants satisfying αγ+αδ+βγ>0, β, δ≥0, β+α>0 and δ+γ>0.     

On some boundary value problems with integral conditions for functional differential equations

For the functional differential equationu ⁽ⁿ⁾ (t)=f(u)(t) we have established the sufficient conditions for solvability and unique solvability of the boundary value problems $$u^{(i)} (0) = c_i (i = 0,...,m - 1), \smallint _0^{ + \infty } |u^{(m)} (t)|^2 dt< + \infty $$ and $$\begin{gathered} u^{(i)} (0) = c_i (i = 0),...,m - 1, \hfill \\ \smallint _0^{ + \infty } t^{2j} |u^{(j)} (t)|^2 dt< + \infty (j = 0,...,m), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ wheren≥2,m is the integer part of $\tfrac{n}{2}$ ,c _i ∈R, andf is the continuous operator acting from the space of (n?1)-times continuously differentiable functions given on an interval [0,+∞] into the space of locally Lebesgue integrable functions.

Solvability for Some Higher Order Multi-Point Boundary Value Problems at Resonance

In this paper, by using the Mawhin’s continuation theorem, we obtain an existence theorem for some higher order multi-point boundary value problems at resonance in the following form: $$\begin{array}{lll}x^{(n)}(t) = f(t,x(t),x'(t),\ldots,x^{(n-1)}(t))+e(t),\ t\in(0,1),\\x^{(i)}(0) = 0, i=0,1,\ldots,n-1,\ i\neq p, \\x^{(k)}(1) = \sum\limits_{j=1}^{m-2}{\beta_j}x^{(k)}(\eta_j),\end{array}$$ where ${f:[0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}=(-\infty,+\infty)}$ is a continuous function, ${e(t)\in L^1[0,1], p, k\in\{0,1,\ldots,n-1\}}$ are fixed, m ≥ 3 for p ≤ k (m ≥ 4 for p > k), ${\beta_j \in \mathbb{R}, j=1,2,\ldots,m-2, 0 < \eta_1 < \eta_2 < \cdots < \eta_{m-2} <1 }$ . We give an example to demonstrate our results.

Monotone empirical Bayes tests for some discrete nonexponential families

This paper deals with the empirical Bayes two-action problem of testingH ₀ : θ ≤ θ_o versusH ₁ : θ > θ_o using a linear error loss for some discrete nonexponential families having probability function either $\begin{gathered} f_1 (x|\theta ) = (x\alpha + 1 - \theta )\theta ^x /\prod\limits_{j = 0}^x {(j\alpha + 1)} \\ or \\ f_1 (x|\theta ) = \left[ {\theta \prod\limits_{j = 0}^{x - 1} {(j\alpha + 1 - \theta )} } \right]/\left[ {\prod\limits_{j = 0}^x {(j\alpha + 1)} } \right] \\ \end{gathered} $ Two empirical Bayes tests δ_n* and δ_n** are constructed. We have shown that both δ_n* and δ_n** are asymptotically optimal, and their regrets converge to zero at an exponential decay rate O(exp( -cn)) for some c > 0, wheren is the number of historical data available when the present decision problem is considered.

I begin with a new short proof of: (I) LetP(t) inR ^d be a function oft havingn continuous derivatives fora≤t≤x. ThenP(x)∈ convK, where $$K = \left\{ {\sum\limits_{j = 0}^{n - 1} {\frac{{(x - a)^j }}{{j!}}} P^{(j)} (a) + \frac{{(x - a)^n }}{{n!}}P^{(n)} (t),a \leqslant t \leqslant x} \right\}.$$ for applying (I) let bef(t) a real function such that the point ((t?a) ⁿ⁺¹,f(t)) fulfills the conditions of (I). Then (I) gives a sharper estimate of then ^th remainder term off(x) than the Lagrange remainder formula. Iff( ⁿ )(t) is also convex ina≤t≤x, thenf(x)∈[c,d], where $$\begin{gathered} c = \sum\limits_{j = 0}^{n - 1} {\frac{{(x - a)^j }}{{j!}}f^{(j)} (a) + \frac{{(x - a)^n }}{{n!}}f^{(n)} \left( {\frac{{na + x}}{{n + 1}}} \right)} , \hfill \\ d = \sum\limits_{j = 0}^{n - 1} {\frac{{(x - a)^j }}{{j!}}f^{(j)} (a) + \frac{{(x - a)^n }}{{n!}}} \frac{{nf^{(n)} (a) + f^{(n)} (x)}}{{n + 1}}. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$      

Global structure of positive solutions for superlinear 2mth-boundary value problems

We consider boundary value problems for nonlinear 2mth-order eigenvalue problem $$ \begin{gathered} ( - 1)^m u^{(2m)} (t) = \lambda a(t)f(u(t)),0 < t < 1, \hfill \\ u^{(2i)} (0) = u^{(2i)} (1) = 0,i = 0,1,2,...,m - 1. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . where a ∈ C([0, 1], [0, ∞)) and a(t ₀) > 0 for some t ₀ ∈ [0, 1], f ∈ C([0, ∞), [0, ∞)) and f(s) > 0 for s > 0, and f ₀ = ∞, where $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{s \to 0^ + } f(s)/s $ . We investigate the global structure of positive solutions by using Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation theorem.     

Estimation of the remainder of a cubature formula on a Chebyshev grid

Let C(Q) denote the space of continuous functions f(x, y) in the square Q = [?1, 1] × [?1, 1] with the norm $\begin{gathered} \left\| f \right\| = \max \left| {f(x,y)} \right|, \hfill \\ (x,y) \in Q. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ On a Chebyshev grid, a cubature formula of the form $\int\limits_{ - 1}^1 {\int\limits_{ - 1}^1 {\frac{1} {{\sqrt {(1 - x^2 )(1 - y^2 )} }}f(x,y)dxdy = \frac{{\pi ^2 }} {{mn}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^m {f\left( {\cos \frac{{2i - 1}} {{2n}}\pi ,\cos \frac{{2j - 1}} {{2m}}\pi } \right)} + R_{m,n} (f)} } } $ is considered in some class H(r ₁, r ₂) of functions f ?? C(Q) defined by a generalized shift operator. The remainder R _{m, n} (f) is proved to satisfy the estimate $\mathop {\sup }\limits_{f \in H(r_1 ,r_2 )} \left| {R_{m,n} (f)} \right| = O(n^{ - r_1 + 1} + m^{ - r_2 + 1} ), $ where r ₁, r ₂ > 1; ??^?1 ?? n/m ?? ?? with ?? > 0; and the constant in O(1) depends on ??.     

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|.

On designated-weight Boolean functions with highest algebraic immunity

Algebraic immunity has been considered as one of cryptographically significant properties for Boolean functions. In this paper, we study ∑d-1 i=0 (ni)-weight Boolean functions with algebraic immunity achiev-ing the minimum of d and n - d + 1, which is highest for the functions. We present a simpler sufficient and necessary condition for these functions to achieve highest algebraic immunity. In addition, we prove that their algebraic degrees are not less than the maximum of d and n - d + 1, and for d = n1 +2 their nonlinearities equalthe minimum of ∑d-1 i=0 (ni) and ∑ d-1 i=0 (ni). Lastly, we identify two classes of such functions, one having algebraic degree of n or n-1.     

Lower Bounds for the Perron Root of a Sum of Nonnegative Matrices

Let $A^{(l)} (l = 1, \ldots ,k)$ be $n \times n$ nonnegative matrices with right and left Perron vectors $u^{(l)} $ and $v^{(l)} $ , respectively, and let $D^{(l)} $ and $E^{(l)} (l = 1, \ldots ,k)$ be positive-definite diagonal matrices of the same order. Extending known results, under the assumption that $$u^{(1)} \circ v^{(1)} = \ldots = u^{(k)} \circ v^{(k)} \ne 0$$ (where `` $ \circ $ '' denotes the componentwise, i.e., the Hadamard product of vectors) but without requiring that the matrices $A^{(l)} $ be irreducible, for the Perron root of the sum $\sum\nolimits_{l = 1}^k {D^{(l)} A^{(l)} E^{(l)} } $ we derive a lower bound of the form $$\rho \left( {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^k {D^{(l)} A^{(l)} E^{(l)} } } \right) \geqslant \sum\limits_{l = 1}^k {\beta _{l\rho } (A^{(l)} ),{\text{ }}\beta _l >0.} $$ Also we prove that, for arbitrary irreducible nonnegative matrices $A^{{\text{ (}}l{\text{)}}} (l = 1, \ldots ,k),$ , $$\rho \left( {\sum\limits_{l = 1}^k {A^{(l)} } } \right) \geqslant \sum\limits_{l = 1}^k {\alpha _{l\rho } (A^{(l)} ),} $$ where the coefficients ∝₁>0 are specified using an arbitrarily chosen normalized positive vector. The cases of equality in both estimates are analyzed, and some other related results are established. Bibliography: 8 titles.
