Hermite-based Appell polynomials: Properties and applications

By employing certain operational methods, the authors introduce Hermite-based Appell polynomials. Some properties of Hermite-Appell polynomials are considered, which proved to be useful for the derivation of identities involving these polynomials. The possibility of extending this technique to introduce Hermite-based Sheffer polynomials (for example, Hermite-Laguerre and Hermite-Sister Celine's polynomials) is also investigated.     

Permanents of multidimensional matrices: Properties and applications

The permanent of a multidimensional matrix is the sum of the products of entries over all diagonals. In this survey, we consider the basic properties of the multidimensional permanent, sufficient conditions for its positivity, available upper bounds, and the specifics of the permanents of polystochasticmatrices.We prove that the number of various combinatorial objects can be expressed via multidimensional permanents. Special attention is paid to the number of 1-factors of uniform hypergraphs and the number of transversals in Latin hypercubes.

Sensitivity of iterated function systems

The present work is concerned with the equicontinuity and sensitivity of iterated function systems (IFSs). Here, we consider more general case of IFSs, i.e. the IFSs generated by a family of relations. We generalize the concepts of transitivity, sensitivity and equicontinuity to these kinds of systems. This note investigates the relationships between these concepts. Then, several sufficient conditions for sensitivity of IFSs are presented. We introduce the notion of weak topologically exact for IFSs generated by a family of relations. It is proved that non-minimal weak topologically exact IFSs are sensitive. That yields to different examples of non-minimal sensitive systems which are not an M-system. Moreover, some interesting examples are given which provide some facts about the sensitive property of IFSs.     

The exponentiated generalized power Lindley distribution: Properties and applications

In this paper, we introduce a new extension of the power Lindley distribution, called the exponentiated generalized power Lindley distribution. Several mathematical properties of the new model such as the shapes of the density and hazard rate functions, the quantile function, moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and order statistics are derived.Moreover, we discuss the parameter estimation of the new distribution using the maximum likelihood and diagonally weighted least squares methods. A simulation study is performed to evaluate the estimators. We use two real data sets to illustrate the applicability of the new model. Empirical findings show that the proposed model provides better fits than some other well-known extensions of Lindley distributions.     

Properties and applications of $$P_n$$-simple functionals

In this paper some representations of a linear positive functional are established. These results are extended for linear positive operators \(L_n:C[a,b] \rightarrow C[a,b]\). Also, approximation properties of linear positive operators, expressed in terms of moduli of smoothness, are considered. In the last section, the remainder term in various approximation processes is studied.

In this paper, a new nonlinear scalarization function, which is a generalization of the oriented distance function, is introduced. Some properties of the function are discussed. Then the function is applied to obtain some new optimality conditions and scalar representations for set-valued vector optimization problems with set optimization criteria. In terms of the function and the image space analysis, some new alternative results for generalized parametric systems are derived.     

The function cascade synchronization method and applications

In this paper, a new function cascade synchronization method of chaos system is proposed to achieve generalized projective synchronization for chaotic systems. Based on Laypunov stability, the proposed synchronization technique is applied to three famous chaotic systems: the unified chaotic system, Liu system and Rössler system, which can make the states of two identical chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized by choosing different special suitable error functions. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness.     

Sensitivity analysis of the combined travel demand model with applications

The conventional sequential four-step procedure of travel demand forecasting has been widely adopted by practitioners. However, it suffers from inconsistent consideration of travel times and congestion effects in various steps of the procedure. A combined travel demand model overcomes the problems associated with the sequential four-step procedure by integrating travel-destination-mode-route choice together. In this paper, a standard sensitivity analysis for non-linear programming is employed for conducting the sensitivity analysis of the combined travel demand model. Explicit expressions of the derivatives of model variables with respect to perturbations of input variables and parameters of the combined travel demand model are developed. These derivatives could be used to assess changes in solution variables and various system performance measures when the network characteristics are changed slightly. To gain insight into the usefulness of the sensitivity expressions, five applications, such as identification of critical parameters, paradox analysis, access control, destination choice, and error and uncertainty analysis, are presented with numerical results.     

Second-Order Differential and Sensitivity Properties of Weak Vector Variational Inequalities

In this paper, by using the second-order contingent derivative, second-order differential properties of a class of set-valued maps are investigated and an explicit expression of the second-order contingent derivatives is obtained.

Extremality conditions for the quasi-concavity function and applications

A maximum principle for the lower envelope of two strictly subharmonic functions is proved, and subsequently used to investigate the first- and second-order extremality conditions for the quasi-concavity function. An application is done to the Dirichlet problem associated to elliptic equations involving the Laplacian as well as the minimal surface operator, when the domain of the problem is a convex ring and two constant boundary values are prescribed. The right-hand side may depend on the solution and on any of its first derivatives, and must depend on the space variable. The solution is proved to have convex level sets and a non-vanishing gradient. Assumptions are translation-invariant. Poisson’s equation is considered explicitly.     

Extended Jacobin elliptic function method and its applications

An extended Jacobin elliptic function method is presented for constructing exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in a unified way. The main idea of this method is to take full advantage of the elliptic equation that Jacobin elliptic functions satisfy and use its solutions to replace Jacobin elliptic functions in Jacobin elliptic function method. It is interesting that many other methods are special cases of our method. Some illustrative equations are investigated by this means.     

A three-term theta function identity and its applications

In this paper, we establish a three-term theta function identity using the complex variable theory of elliptic functions. This simple identity in form turns out to be quite useful and it is a common origin of many important theta function identities. From which the quintuple product identity and one general theta function identity related to the modular equations of the fifth order and many other interesting theta function identities are derived. We also give a new proof of the addition theorem for the Weierstrass elliptic function ℘. An identity involving the products of four theta functions is given and from which one theta function identity by McCullough and Shen is derived. The quintuple product identity is used to derive some Eisenstein series identities found in Ramanujan's lost notebook and our approach is different from that of Berndt and Yee. The proofs are self contained and elementary.     

Lipschitz properties of the scalarization function and applications

The scalarization functions were used in vector optimization for a long period. Similar functions were introduced and used in economics under the name of shortage function or in mathematical finance under the name of (convex or coherent) measures of risk. The main aim of this article is to study Lipschitz continuity properties of such functions and to give some applications for deriving necessary optimality conditions for vector optimization problems using the Mordukhovich subdifferential.
