Series representations for densities functions of a family of distributions—Application to sums of independent random variables

Series representations for several density functions are obtained as mixtures of generalized gamma distributions with discrete mass probability weights, by using the exponential expansion and the binomial theorem. Based on these results, approximations based on mixtures of generalized gamma distributions are proposed to approximate the distribution of the sum of independent random variables, which may not be identically distributed. The applicability of the proposed approximations are illustrated for the sum of independent Rayleigh random variables, the sum of independent gamma random variables, and the sum of independent Weibull random variables. Numerical studies are presented to assess the precision of these approximations.     

Paley‐Wiener‐Type theorems for the Clifford‐Fourier transform

In the framework of Clifford analysis, we consider the Paley‐Wiener type theorems for a generalized Clifford‐Fourier transform. This Clifford‐Fourier transform is given by a similar operator exponential as the classical Fourier transform but containing generators of Lie superalgebra.     

Refined discrete regular variation and its applications

We introduce a new class of the so‐called regularly varying sequences with respect to τ and state its properties. This class, on one hand, generalizes regularly varying sequences. On the other hand, it refines them and makes it possible to do a more sophisticated analysis in applications. We show a close connection with regular variation on time scales; thanks to this relation, we can use the existing theory on time scales to develop discrete regular variation with respect to τ. We reveal also a connection with generalized regularly varying functions. As an application, we study asymptotic behavior of solutions to linear difference equations; we obtain generalization and extension of known results. The theory also yields, in some way, a new view on the tests for convergence and divergence of series; we establish the statement that generalizes Raabe test and Bertrand test.     

Wong–Zakai approximation and support theorem for SPDEs with locally monotone coefficients

In this paper we present the Wong–Zakai approximation results for a class of nonlinear SPDEs with locally monotone coefficients and driven by multiplicative Wiener noise. This model extends the classical monotone one and includes examples like stochastic 2d Navier–Stokes equations, stochastic porous medium equations, stochastic p-Laplace equations and stochastic reaction–diffusion equations. As a corollary, our approximation results also describe the support of the distribution of solutions.     

Dynamic Picone's identity and its applications

We prove some Picone-type identities and inequalities for a class of first-order nonlinear dynamic systems and derive various weighted inequalities of Wirtinger type and Hardy type on time scales. As applications we study oscillatory and related properties of these systems including Reid's roundabout theorem on disconjugacy, Sturm's separation and comparison theorems, as well as a variational method in the oscillation theory.     

Multiscale KAM theorem for Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the persistence of invariant tori in nearly integrable multiscale Hamiltonian systems with highorder degeneracy in the integrable part. Such Hamiltonian systems arise naturally in planar and spatial lunar problems of celestial mechanics for which the persistence problem connects closely to the stability of the systems. We introduce multiscale nondegenerate condition and multiscale Diophantine condition, comparable to the usual Diophantine condition. Using quasilinear KAM method, we prove a multiscale KAM theorem.     

Traveling wave solutions in delayed higher dimensional lattice differential systems with partial monotonicity

In this paper, we consider the existence of traveling wave solutions in delayed higher dimensional lattice differential systems with partial monotonicity. By relaxing the monotonicity of the upper solutions and allowing it greater than positive equilibrium point, we establish the existence of traveling wave solutions by means of Schauder's fixed point theorem. And then, we apply our results to delayed competition‐cooperation systems on higher dimensional lattices.     

Minimal volume invariants,topological sphere theorems and biorthogonal curvature on 4‐manifolds

The goal of this article is to establish estimates involving the Yamabe minimal volume, mixed minimal volume and some topological invariants on compact 4‐manifolds. In addition, we provide topological sphere theorems for compact submanifolds of spheres and Euclidean spaces, provided that the full norm of the second fundamental form is suitably bounded.     

Beurling Type Theorem on the Hilbert Space Generated by a Positive Sequence

Let H²(γ) be the Hilbert space over the bidisk D² generated by a positive sequence γ={γ_nm}_n,m ≥ 0. In this paper, we prove that the Beurling type theorem holds for the shift operator on H²(γ) with γ={γ_nm}_n,m ≥ 0 satisfying certain series of inequalities. As a corollary, we give several applications to a class of classical analytic reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over the bidisk D².
