Comment on the paper: “Forced oscillation of certain neutral hyperbolic equations with continuous distributed deviating arguments” [Math. Comput. Modeling 49 (2009) 1211–1220]

In recent years, many results on oscillation criteria of second-order nonlinear neutral delay differential equations with distributed deviating argument have been obtained, but some of these criteria are incorrect due to a mistake in a crucial auxiliary result. We give two counterexamples.     

Some properties of invariant polynomials with matrix arguments and their applications in econometrics

Summary Further properties are derived for a class of invariant polynomials with several matrix arguments which extend the zonal polynomials. Generalized Laguerre polynomials are defined, and used to obtain expansions of the sum of independent noncentral Wishart matrices and an associated generalized regression coefficient matrix. The latter includes thek-class estimator in econometrics.     

Runge–Kutta methods for first-order periodic boundary value differential equations with piecewise constant arguments

In this paper we deal with the numerical solutions of Runge–Kutta methods for first-order periodic boundary value differential equations with piecewise constant arguments. The numerical solution is given by the numerical Green’s function. It is shown that Runge–Kutta methods preserve their original order for first-order periodic boundary value differential equations with piecewise constant arguments. We give the conditions under which the numerical solutions preserve some properties of the analytic solutions, e.g., uniqueness and comparison theorems. Finally, some experiments are given to illustrate our results.

Bernoulli泛函空间中广义计数算子的表示

Dynamical properties of the Haldane chain with bond disorder

By using Lanczos exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo combined with stochastic analytic continuation, we study the dynamical properties of the S = 1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with different strengths of bond disorder. In the weak disorder region, we find weakly coupled bonds which can induce additional low-energy excitation below the one-magnon mode. As the disorder increases, the average Haldane gap closes at δ_∆ ~ 0.5 with more and more low-energy excitations coming out. After the critical disorder strength δ_c ~ 1, the system reaches a random-singlet phase with prominent sharp peak at ω = 0 and broad continuum at ω > 0 of the dynamic spin structure factor. In addition, we analyze the distribution of random spin domains and numerically find three kinds of domains hosting effective spin-1/2 quanta or spin-1 sites in between. These “spins” can form the weakly coupled longrange singlets due to quantum fluctuation which contribute to the sharp peak at ω = 0.     

Cauchy problems for linear thermoelastic systems of type III in one space variable

The goal of the paper is to analyse properties of solutions for linear thermoelastic systems of type III in one space variable. Our approach does not use energy methods, it bases on a special diagonalization procedure which is different in different parts of the phase space. This procedure allows to derive explicit representations of solutions. These representations help to prove results for well‐posedness of the Cauchy problem, L^P–L^q decay estimates on the conjugate line and results for propagation of singularities.
