Marginal density estimation for linear processes with cyclical long memory

Some convergence results on the kernel density estimator are proven for a class of linear processes with cyclic effects. In particular, we extend the results of Ho and Hsing (1996), Mielniczuk (1997) and Hall and Hart (1990) to the stationary processes for which the singularities of the spectral density are not limited to the origin. We show that the convergence rates and the limiting distribution may be different in this context.     

On the transfer matrix of a MIMO system

We develop a deterministic ab initio model for the input–output relationship of a multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) wireless channel, starting from the Maxwell equations combined with Ohm's law. The main technical tools are scattering and geometric perturbation theories. The derived relationship can lead us to a deep understanding of how the propagation conditions and the coupling effects between the elements of multiple‐element arrays affect the properties of an MIMO channel, e.g. its capacity and its number of degrees of freedom.

A new one‐step smoothing newton method for the second‐order cone complementarity problem

In this paper, we present a new one‐step smoothing Newton method for solving the second‐order cone complementarity problem (SOCCP). Based on a new smoothing function, the SOCCP is approximated by a family of parameterized smooth equations. At each iteration, the proposed algorithm only need to solve one system of linear equations and perform only one Armijo‐type line search. The algorithm is proved to be convergent globally and superlinearly without requiring strict complementarity at the SOCCP solution. Moreover, the algorithm has locally quadratic convergence under mild conditions. Numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the new algorithm.

Forced oscillation of second order differential equations with mixed nonlinearities

This article is concerned with the oscillation of the forced second order differential equation with mixed nonlinearities a(t) x ′ (t) γ′ + p 0 (t) x γ (g 0 (t)) + n i =1 p i (t) | x (g i (t)) | α i sgn x (g i (t)) = e(t), where γ is a quotient of odd positive integers, α i > 0, i = 1, 2, ··· , n, a, e, and p i ∈ C ([0, ∞ ) , R), a (t) > 0, gi : R → R are positive continuous functions on R with lim t →∞ g i (t) = ∞ , i = 0, 1, ··· , n. Our results generalize and improve the results in a recent article by Sun and Wong [29].     

The constrained compartmentalized knapsack problem: mathematical models and solution methods

The constrained compartmentalized knapsack problem can be seen as an extension of the constrained knapsack problem. However, the items are grouped into different classes so that the overall knapsack has to be divided into compartments, and each compartment is loaded with items from the same class. Moreover, building a compartment incurs a fixed cost and a fixed loss of the capacity in the original knapsack, and the compartments are lower and upper bounded. The objective is to maximize the total value of the items loaded in the overall knapsack minus the cost of the compartments. This problem has been formulated as an integer non-linear program, and in this paper, we reformulate the non-linear model as an integer linear master problem with a large number of variables. Some heuristics based on the solution of the restricted master problem are investigated. A new and more compact integer linear model is also presented, which can be solved by a branch-and-bound commercial solver that found most of the optimal solutions for the constrained compartmentalized knapsack problem. On the other hand, heuristics provide good solutions with low computational effort.

Effect of variable viscosity and viscous dissipation on the Hagen‐Poiseuille flow and entropy generation

In this article, the steady‐state flow of a Hagen‐Poiseuille modelin a circular pipe is considered and entropy generation due tofluid friction and heat transfer is examined. Because of variationin fluid viscosity, the entropy generation in the flow varies. Inhis model, Arrhenius law is applied for temperature equation‐dependent viscosity, and the influence of viscosity parameters on the entropy generation number and distribution of temperature and velocity is investigated. The governing momentum and energy equations, which are coupled due to the dissipative term in the energy equation, were solved by analytical techniques. The solutions of equations via perturbation method and homotopy perturbation method are obtained and then compared with those of numerical solutions. It is found that the fluid viscosity influences considerably the temperature distribution in the fluid close to the pipe wall, and increasing pipe wall temperature enhances the rate of entropy generation. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Simple monadic theories and indiscernibles

Aiming for applications in monadic second‐order model theory, we study first‐order theories without definable pairing functions. Our main results concern forking‐properties of sequences of indiscernibles. These turn out to be very well‐behaved for the theories under consideration (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
