Boundedness of solutions of second order nonlinear dynamic equations

This paper deals with the boundedness of the solutions of the following dynamic equations(r(t)x△(t))△+a(t)f(xσ(t))+b(t)g(xσ(t))=0and(r(t)x△(t))△+a(t)xσ(t)+b(t)f(x(t-τ(t)))=e(t)on a time scale T.By using the Bellman integral inequality,we establish some suffcient conditions for boundedness of solutions of the above equations.Our results not only unify the boundedness results for differential and difference equations but are also new for the q-difference equations.

Determining a Rotation of a Tetrahedron from a Projection

The following problem, arising from medical imaging, is addressed: Suppose that T is a known tetrahedron in ?³ with centroid at the origin. Also known is the orthogonal projection U of the vertices of the image ?T of T under an unknown rotation ? about the origin. Under what circumstances can ? be determined from T and U?     

Symmetry-based solution of a model for a combination of a risky investment and a riskless investment

Benth and Karlsen [F.E. Benth, K.H. Karlsen, A note on Merton's portfolio selection problem for the Schwartz mean-reversion model, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 23 (2005) 687-704] treated a problem of the optimisation of the selection of a portfolio based upon the Schwartz mean-reversion model. The resulting Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in 1+2 dimensions is quite nonlinear. The solution obtained by Benth and Karlsen was very ingenious. We provide a solution of the problem based on the application of the Lie theory of continuous groups to the partial differential equation and its associated boundary and terminal conditions.     

Approaching a vertex in a shrinking domain under a nonlinear flow

We consider here the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the equation , in a noncylindrical domain in space-time given by . By means of matched asymptotic expansion techniques we describe the asymptotics of the maximal solution approaching the vertex x=0, t=T, in the three different cases p>1/2, p=1/2(vertex regular), p<1/2 (vertex irregular).     

Calculating a function of a matrix with a real spectrum

Let T be a square matrix with a real spectrum, and let f be an analytic function. The problem of the approximate calculation of f(T) is discussed. Applying the Schur triangular decomposition and the reordering, one can assume that T is triangular and its diagonal entries t_ii are arranged in increasing order. To avoid calculations using the differences t_ii ? t_jj with close (including equal) t_ii and t_jj, it is proposed to represent T in a block form and calculate the two main block diagonals using interpolating polynomials. The rest of the f(T) entries can be calculated using the Parlett recurrence algorithm. It is also proposed to perform some scalar operations (such as the building of interpolating polynomials) with an enlarged number of significant decimal digits.

     

On a mapping of a projective space into a sphere

We obtain an exact estimate for the minimum multiplicity of a continuous finite-to-one mapping of a projective space into a sphere for all dimensions. For finite-to-one mappings of a projective space into a Euclidean space, we obtain an exact estimate for this multiplicity for n = 2, 3. For n ≥ 4, we prove that this estimate does not exceed 4. Several open questions are formulated.     

Folding a surface to a polygon

A concept of folding for compact connected surfaces, involving the partition of the surface into combinatorially identical n-sided topological polygons, is defined. The existence of such foldings for given n and given surfaces is explored, with definitive results for the sphere and the torus. We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of such foldings in all other cases.Supported by Kuwait University Grant SM 043.     

Evolution to a steady state for a rarefied gas flowing from a tank into a vacuum through a plane channel

A kinetic equation (S-model) is used to solve the nonstationary problem of a monatomic rarefied gas flowing from a tank of infinite capacity into a vacuum through a long plane channel. Initially, the gas is at rest and is separated from the vacuum by a barrier. The temperature of the channel walls is kept constant. The flow is found to evolve to a steady state. The time required for reaching a steady state is examined depending on the channel length and the degree of gas rarefaction. The kinetic equation is solved numerically by applying a conservative explicit finite-difference scheme that is firstorder accurate in time and second-order accurate in space. An approximate law is proposed for the asymptotic behavior of the solution at long times when the evolution to a steady state becomes a diffusion process.
