Suppose that the random variables $(X_i)_{1\leq i\leq n}$ are stationary and fulfill a suitable dependence criterion. Let $f$ be a real valued function defined on $\mathbbm{R}^n$ having some regular properties. Let ${\cal {Y}}_{n}$ be a random vector, independent of ${\cal {X}}_{n}$, having independent and identically distributed components. We control $\left|\mathbbm{E}(f({\cal {X}}_{n}))-\mathbbm{E} (f({\cal {Y}}_{n}))\right|$. Suitable choices of the function $f$ yield, under minimal conditions, to rates of convergence in the central limit theorem, to some moment inequalities or to bounds useful for Poisson approximation. The proofs are derived from multivariate extensions of Taylor's formula and of the Lindeberg decomposition. In the univariate case and in the mixing setting the method is due to Rio (1995).     

Excitation energy and angular momentum dependence of nuclear level densities and spin cut-off factor in SPA and SPA + RPA approaches

We investigate the excitation energy (E^*) and angular momentum (J) dependence of nuclear level density and spin cut-off factor (σ) within microscopic approaches based on SPA and its extension SPA + RPA representation of the grand partition function for quadrupole-quadrupole interaction model Hamiltonian. For ¹¹⁰Sn, we find that excitation energy dependence of the total level density obtained within these approaches is significantly different. On the other hand, these approaches yield similar behaviour for J-dependence of the level density at fixed values of E^*. Values of σ_{SPA + RPA} at low E^* are found to be slightly smaller than σ_SPA but they tend to become almost the same at higher E^* (> 30 MeV). We also find that Bethe's formula for fixed-J level density based on the spin cut-off approximation can be used to compute (E^*, J) near the yrast line provided one uses an appropriate value of the spin cut-off factor.     

Sur la densité d'état de l'opérateur de Schrödinger quasi-périodique unidimensionnel

We prove two results on the density of states of the discrete one dimensional quasi-periodic Schrödinger equation with an analytic potential and Diophantine frequencies in the perturbed regime. On the one hand, we prove that this function has the behavior of a Hölder-$\frac{1}{2}$ function. On the other, we show that the length of the gaps has a sub-exponential estimate which depends on its label given by the gap-labeling theorem. To cite this article: S. Hadj Amor, C. R. Acad. Sci.

Iterative methods for solving proximal split minimization problems

In this paper, we propose two iterative algorithms for finding the minimum-norm solution of a split minimization problem. We prove strong convergence of the sequences generated by the proposed algorithms. The iterative schemes are proposed in such a way that the selection of the step-sizes does not need any prior information about the operator norm. We further give some examples to numerically verify the efficiency and implementation of our new methods and compare the two algorithms presented. Our results act as supplements to several recent important results in this area.     

A note on nil power serieswise Armendariz rings

A ring R is called nil power serieswise Armendariz if $ \forall f = \sum\limits_{i = 0}^\infty {a_i X^i } $ \forall f = \sum\limits_{i = 0}^\infty {a_i X^i } and $ g = \sum\limits_{i = 0}^\infty {b_i X^i } $ g = \sum\limits_{i = 0}^\infty {b_i X^i } in R[[X]] such that f g ∈ Nil(R)[[X]], then a _i b _j ∈ Nil(R) for all i and j. In this note we characterize completely nil power serieswise Armendariz rings with their nilradical Nil(R) (where the nilradical is the set of nilpotent elements). We prove that a ring is nil power serieswise Armendariz if and only if Nil(R) is an ideal of R. We prove that each power serieswise Armendariz ring is nil power serieswise Armendariz and we give examples of nil power serieswise Armendariz rings.     

Systems of quasi-variational relations with applications

In this paper, we introduce a system of quasi-variational relations (in short, SQVR) and present several examples which show that it is a very general and unified model of several problems. We establish the existence of solutions of SQVP, in general, and several other problems, in particular. As an application of our results, we derive maximal element theorems and a collectively fixed point theorem for a family of multivalued maps. As further applications, we study Ky Fan type inequality / inclusion problem for vector valued bifunctions which includes constrained Nash equilibrium problem as a special case. We also present a common fixed point theorem for a family of multivalued maps. The results of this paper improve and generalize several known results on (system of) quasi-equilibrium problems, (system of) quasi-variational inclusions, constrained Nash equilibrium problem, collectively fixed point theorem and KKM type theorems for a family of multivalued maps. Our results also contain several results which appeared in recent literature.     

Holographic Dark Energy in Higher Derivative Gravity with Varying Gravitational Constant

In this paper we investigate the holographic dark energy scenario in higher derivative gravity with a varying gravitational constant. We introduce a kind of energy density from higher derivative gravity which has role of the same as holographic dark energy. We obtain the exact differential equation , which determine the evolution of the dark energy density based on varying gravitational constant G. We also find out a cosmological application of our work by evaluating a relation for the equation of state of dark energy for low redshifts containing varying G correction.     

An Iterative method for nonlinear variational inequalities arising in elastoplasticity ∗

In this paper, we study an iterative method, which includes the Ka?anov method as a particular case, for solving nonlinear variational inequalities of the second kind. A convergence result is also proved under suitable assumptions. We apply our iterative method to solve an elastoplasticity problem.
