A note on the exact synchronization by groups for a coupled system of wave equations

By means of a non‐exact controllability result, we show the necessity of the conditions of compatibility for the exact synchronization by two groups for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for 1-D quasilinear wave equations

Based on the theory of semi-global C ² solution for 1-D quasilinear wave equations, the local exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for 1-D quasilinear wave equations is obtained by a constructive method, and the corresponding global exact boundary controllability of nodal profile is also obtained under certain additional hypotheses.     

On a Polynomial Inequality of Paul Erd s

Let f be a real polynomial having no zeros in the open unit disk. We prove a sharp evaluation from above for the quantity f′_∞/f_p, 0p<∞. The extremal polynomials and the exact constants are given. This extends an inequality of Paul Erd s [7].     

The distribution and the exact percentage points for Wilks'L mvc criterion

Summary Wilks'L _mvc is the likelihood ratio criterion for testing the hypothesis that the mean values are equal, the variances are equal and the covariances are equal, in ap-variate normal population. In this article the exact null distribution as well as the exact percentage points are given for the first time. The distribution is obtained for the most general cases and the inverse tables, namely, the values ofu for given values ofF(u) are computed for the values ofF(u)=0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and for the various values ofn andp whereF(u) is the exact distribution function of the test statistic,n=N−1 andN is the sample size. The exact tables are given forp=2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.     

Global exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations

Based on the local exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations, the global exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations in a neighborbood of any connected set of constant equilibria is obtained by an extension method. Similar results are also given for a kind of general 1‐D quasilinear hyperbolic equations. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A unifying theory of exactness of linear penalty functions II: parametric penalty functions

In this article, we develop a general theory of exact parametric penalty functions for constrained optimization problems. The main advantage of the method of parametric penalty functions is the fact that a parametric penalty function can be both smooth and exact unlike the standard (i.e. non-parametric) exact penalty functions that are always nonsmooth. We obtain several necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the exactness of parametric penalty functions, and for the zero duality gap property to hold true for these functions. We also prove some convergence results for the method of parametric penalty functions, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a parametric penalty function to not have any stationary points outside the set of feasible points of the constrained optimization problem under consideration. In the second part of the paper, we apply the general theory of exact parametric penalty functions to a class of parametric penalty functions introduced by Huyer and Neumaier, and to smoothing approximations of nonsmooth exact penalty functions. The general approach adopted in this article allowed us to unify and significantly sharpen many existing results on parametric penalty functions.

Some test statistics for the structural coefficients of the multivariate linear functional relationship model

Summary For the testing problem concerning the coefficients of the multivariate linear functional relationship model, the distribution of a statistic previously proposed by A. P. Basu depends on the unknown covariance matrixV of errors, so limiting its applicability. This article proposes new test statistics with sampling distributions which are independent of the unknown parameters for the cases whereV is either unknown or known only up to a proportionality factor. The exact distributions of the test statistics are also discussed.
