二阶非线性矩阵微分方程的振动性

Some new oscillation criteria are established for the second-order matrix differential system(r(t)Z′(t))′ p(t)Z′(t) Q(t)F(Z′(t))G(Z(t)) = 0, t ≥ to ＞ 0,are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on the information only on a sequence of subintervals of [t0, ∞), rather than on the whole half-line. The results weaken the condition of Q(t) and generalize some well-known results of Wong (1999) to nonlinear matrix differential equation.

Triple positive periodic solutions of nonlinear singular second-order boundary value problems

This paper studies the positive solutions of the nonlinear second-order periodic boundary value problem u″(t) + λ(t)u(t) = f(t,u(t)),a.e.t ∈ [0,2π],u(0) = u(2π),u′(0) = u′(2π),where f(t,u) is a local Carath′eodory function.This shows that the problem is singular with respect to both the time variable t and space variable u.By applying the Leggett–Williams and Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorems on cones,an existence theorem of triple positive solutions is established.In order to use these theorems,the exact a priori estimations for the bound of solution are given,and some proper height functions are introduced by the estimations.

Several oscillation criteria are given for the second order nonlinear differential equation with damped term of the form [α(t)(y'(t))σ]' p(t)(y'(t))σ q(t)f(y(t)) = 0, where α∈C(R, (0,∞)), p(t) and q(t) are allowed to change sign on [t0, ∞), and f∈C1 (R, R) such that xf(x) > 0 for x ≠0.

RIGHT FOCAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM WITH SINGULARITY

This article proves existence results for singular problem ( - 1)n-px(n)(t) = f(t,x(t),…,x(n-1)(t)), for 0 < t < l,x(i)(0) = 0,i = 1,2.…,p - l,x(i)(1) = 0,i = p,p 1,…, n - 1. Here the positive Carathedory function f may be singular at the zero value of all its phase variables. The interesting point is that the degrees of some variables in the nonlinear term f(t,x0,x1,…,xn-1) are allowable to be greater than 1. Proofs are based on the Leray-Schauder degree theory and Vitali's convergence theorem. The emphasis in this article is that f depends on all higher-order derivatives. Examples are given to illustrate the main results of this article.

DECAY ESTIMATES OF PLANAR STATIONARY WAVES FOR DAMED WAVE EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR CONVECTION IN MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HALF SPACE

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for damped wave equations with a nonlinear convection term in the multi-dimensional half space R n + : u tt u + u t + divf (u) = 0, t > 0, x = (x 1 , x ′ ) ∈ R n + := R + × R n 1 , u(0, x) = u 0 (x) → u + , as x 1 → + ∞ , u t (0, x) = u 1 (x), u(t, 0, x ′ ) = u b , x ′ = (x 2 , x 3 , ··· , x n ) ∈ R n 1 . (I) For the non-degenerate case f ′ 1 (u + ) < 0, it was shown in [10] that the above initialboundary value problem (I) admits a unique global solution u(t, x) which converges to the corresponding planar stationary wave φ(x 1 ) uniformly in x 1 ∈ R + as time tends to infinity provided that the initial perturbation and/or the strength of the stationary wave are sufficiently small. And in [10] Ueda, Nakamura, and Kawashima proved the algebraic decay estimates of the tangential derivatives of the solution u(t, x) for t → + ∞ by using the space-time weighted energy method initiated by Kawashima and Matsumura [5] and improved by Nishihkawa [7]. Moreover, by using the same weighted energy method, an additional algebraic convergence rate in the normal direction was obtained by assuming that the initial perturbation decays algebraically. We note, however, that the analysis in [10] relies heavily on the assumption that f ′ (u) < 0. The main purpose of this paper isdevoted to discussing the case of f ′ 1 (u b ) ≥ 0 and we show that similar results still hold for such a case. Our analysis is based on some delicate energy estimates.

Variation of the structure and permeability of tensioned fiber layers during impregnation with a thermoplastic polymer melt

The influence of displacements of tensioned fibers on the impregnation of fibrous layers with a polymer melt and on the final composite structure is studied. Using computer simulation, it is shown that, during impregnation, the structure of tensioned fibrous layers changes considerably depending on the initial arrangement and tensioning of fibers. The consolidated regions formed under the melt front move inside the impregnated layer with the advancing melt front. Displacement of the tensioned fibers as well as the formation of “washouts” favors the impregnation of internal layers, but cause significant inhomogeneity of the polymer structure. The surface (on the side of the melt flow) regions are more saturated with the polymer than the internal ones. A difference in the melt percolation mechanisms at various impregnation regimes is revealed. The effective permeability coefficients of a tensioned fiber layer are not constant but depend on the conditions and regimes of impregnation.

On a class of Riemann surfaces

It is considered the class of Riemann surfaces with dimT1 = 0, where T1 is a subclass of exact harmonic forms which is one of the factors in the orthogonal decomposition of the spaceΩH of harmonic forms of the surface, namely The surfaces in the class OHD and the class of planar surfaces satisfy dimT1 = 0. A.Pfluger posed the question whether there might exist other surfaces outside those two classes. Here it is shown that in the case of finite genus g, we should look for a surface S with dimT1 = 0 among the surfaces of the form Sg\K , where Sg is a closed surface of genus g and K a compact set of positive harmonic measure with perfect components and very irregular boundary.     

Bounds of the Hausdorff Measure of Sierpinski carpet

By means of the idea of [2]（Jia Baoguo,J.Math.Anal.Appl.In press） and the self.similarity of Sierpinski carpet, we obtain the lower and upper bounds of the Hausdorff Measure of Sierpinski carpet, which can approach the Hausdorff Measure of Sierpinski carpet infinitely.     

Optimality of the Expert Rule Under Partial Information

We study the uncertain dichotomous choice model. In this model a group of decision makers is required to select one of two alternatives. The applications of this model are relevant to a wide variety of areas, such as medicine, management and banking. The decision rule may be the simple majority rule; however, it is also possible to assign more weight to the opinion of members known to be more qualified. The extreme example of such a rule is the expert decision rule. We are concerned with the probability of the expert rule to be optimal. Our purpose is to investigate the behaviour of this probability as a function of the group size for several rather general types of distributions. One such family of distributions is that where the density function of the correctness probability is a polynomial (on the interval [1/2,1]). Our main result is an explicit formula for the probability in question. This contains formerly known results as very special cases.     

A system-theoretic model for cooperation, interaction and allocation

A system-theoretic approach to cooperation, interaction and allocation is presented that simplifies, unifies and extends the results on classical cooperative games and their generalizations. In particular, a general Weber theory of linear values is obtained and a new theory for local cooperation and general interaction indices is established. The model is dynamic and based on the notion of states of cooperation that change under actions of agents. Careful distinction between “local” states of cooperation and general “system” states leads to a notion of entropy for arbitrary non-negative and efficient allocations and thus to a new information-theoretic criterion for fairness of allocation mechanisms. Shapley allocations, for instance, are exhibited as arising from random walks with maximal entropy. For a large class of cooperation systems, a characterization of game symmetries in terms of λ-values is given. A concept for cores and Weber sets is proposed and it is shown that a Weber set of a game with selection structure always contains the core.     

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF ECKHOFF＇S METHOD FOR FOURIER SERIES CONVERGENCE ACCELERATION

The current paper considers the problem of recovering a function using a limited number of its Fourier coefficients. Specifically, a method based on Bernoulli-like polynomials suggested and developed by Krylov, Lanczos, Gottlieb and Eckhoff is examined. Asymptotic behavior of approximate calculation of the so-called ＂jumps＂ is studied and asymptotic L2 constants of the rate of convergence of the method are computed.     

Numerical modeling of nonlinear deformation and buckling of composite plate-shell structures under pulsed loading

Nonlinear three-dimensional problems of dynamic deformation, buckling, and posteritical behavior of composite shell structures under pulsed loads are analyzed. The structure is assumed to be made of rigidly joined plates and shells of revolution along the lines coinciding with the coordinate directions of the joined elements. Individual structural elements can be made of both composite and conventional isotropic materials. The kinematic model of deformation of the structural elements is based on Timoshenko-type hypotheses. This approach is oriented to the calculation of nonstationary deformation processes in composite structures under small deformations but large displacements and rotation angles, and is implemented in the context of a simplified version of the geometrically nonlinear theory of shells. The physical relations in the composite structural elements are based on the theory of effective moduli for individual layers or for the package as a whole, whereas in the metallic elements this is done in the framework of the theory of plastic flow. The equations of motion of a composite shell structure are derived based on the principle of virtual displacements with some additional conditions allowing for the joint operation of structural elements. To solve the initial boundary-value problem formulated, an efficient numerical method is developed based on the finite-difference discretization of variational equations of motion in space variables and an explicit second-order time-integration scheme. The permissible time-integration step is determined using Neumann's spectral criterion. The above method is especially efficient in calculating thin-walled shells, as well as in the case of local loads acting on the structural element, when the discretization grid has to be condensed in the zones of rapidly changing solutions in space variables. The results of analyzing the nonstationary deformation processes and critical loads are presented for composite and isotropic cylindrical shells reinforced with a set of discrete ribs in the case of pulsed axial compression and external pressure.Scientific Research Institute of Mechanics, Lobachevskii Nizhegorodsk State University, N.

Sets with two associative operations

In this paper we consider duplexes, which are sets with two associative binary operations. Dimonoids in the sense of Loday are examples of duplexes. The set of all permutations carries a structure of a duplex. Our main result asserts that it is a free duplex with an explicitly described set of generators. The proof uses a construction of the free duplex with one generator by planary trees.
