A new sample business survey for agriculture, the REA survey, and a project of integration with the FADN network (RICA in
Italy) have significantly changed the production of statistical information nowadays available with reference to the agricultural
sector. On the basis of this relevant information, new economic analyses are being developed on farms’ performance, agricultural
households’ income and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). In this paper the authors estimate the relationship between the
levels of variables of interest and their sampling errors using models in order to improve the accessibility of the information
on estimates accuracy to the final users (agricultural analysts, policy makers).
The paper is the result of a joint research of the three authors. Sections 1–3 and 6 by Pizzoli, Sects. 4 and 5 by Rondinelli,
Sect. 7 by Filiberti, conclusions joint to the three authors. 相似文献

The first part of the paper deals with homogenization models of unidirectional composites, in which each phase of the material
is bounded by parallel cylindrical surfaces. For a GFRP with epoxy resin and glass fibres, five elastic constants for six
models of the composite are calculated. In the second part, the results of strain gauge tests, photoelasticity investigations,
and scanning electron inspection are discussed. With these data, some elastic constants of the composite in tension and compression
are found. A comparison of experimental and analytical results is presented.

The expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm is a very general and popular iterative computational algorithm to find maximum
likelihood estimates from incomplete data and broadly used to statistical analysis with missing data, because of its stability,
flexibility and simplicity. However, it is often criticized that the convergence of the EM algorithm is slow. The various
algorithms to accelerate the convergence of the EM algorithm have been proposed. The vector ε algorithm of Wynn (Math Comp
16:301–322, 1962) is used to accelerate the convergence of the EM algorithm in Kuroda and Sakakihara (Comput Stat Data Anal
51:1549–1561, 2006). In this paper, we provide the theoretical evaluation of the convergence of the ε-accelerated EM algorithm.
The ε-accelerated EM algorithm does not use the information matrix but only uses the sequence of estimates obtained from iterations
of the EM algorithm, and thus it keeps the flexibility and simplicity of the EM algorithm. 相似文献

This paper is one of a series underpinning the authors’ DAETS code for solving DAE initial value problems by Taylor series
expansion. First, building on the second author’s structural analysis of DAEs (BIT, 41 (2001), pp. 364–394), it describes
and justifies the method used in DAETS to compute Taylor coefficients (TCs) using automatic differentiation. The DAE may be
fully implicit, nonlinear, and contain derivatives of order higher than one. Algorithmic details are given.
Second, it proves that either the method succeeds in the sense of computing TCs of the local solution, or one of a number
of detectable error conditions occurs.

Within the framework of a unified mathematical model based on the Markov chain theory, an attempt is made to describe the
distribution of static strength, the fatigue curve, and the accumulation of fatigue damages. It is assumed that the fatigue
failure of a test specimen occurs after the destruction of some its critical microvolume consisting of two — elastic (brittle
fibers) and plastic (matrix) — parts. In the second part, plastic strains accumulate as soon as the cyclic load exceeds some
level. Numerical examples are presented.

Changes in the toughness of crystalline poly(ethylene terephtalate) upon addition of two elastomers — ethylene-propylene-diene
terpolymer and ethylene-α-octene copolymer — are investigated. Blends with increasing elastomer content (up to 30 wt.%) were obtained and modified
by γ-radiation up to a 300-kGy absorbed dose. The interrelation between the toughness and certain tensile characteristics (elastic
modulus, yield stress, ultimate stress, elongation at break, and specific fracture energy) of the blends, with various structural
features of components (crystallinity and the degree of cross-linking) and morphology of the blends, is discussed.

Summary. This paper concerns the combination of the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM) using the symmetric
coupling. As a model problem in two dimensions we consider the Hencky material (a certain nonlinear elastic material) in a
bounded domain with Navier–Lamé differential equation in the unbounded complementary domain. Using some boundary integral
operators the problem is rewritten such that the Galerkin procedure leads to a FEM/BEM coupling and quasi–optimally convergent
discrete solutions. Beside this a priori information we derive an a posteriori error estimate which allows (up to a constant
factor) the error control in the energy norm. Since information about the singularities of the solution is not available a
priori in many situation and having in mind the goal of an automatic mesh–refinement we state adaptive algorithms for the
–version of the FEM/BEM–coupling. Illustrating numerical results are included.

In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior for a 4-dimensional reversible system near its heteroclinic loop connecting a saddle-focus and a saddle. The existence of infinitely many reversible 1-homoclinic orbits to the saddle and 2-homoclinic orbits to the saddle-focus is shown. And it is also proved that, corresponding to each 1-homoclinic (resp. 2-homoclinic) orbit F, there is a spiral segment such that the associated orbits starting from the segment are all reversible 1-periodic (resp. 2-periodic) and accumulate onto F. Moreover, each 2-homoclinic orbit may be also accumulated by a sequence of reversible 4-homoclinic orbits. 相似文献

We study a 2D model of the orientation distribution of fibres in a paper machine headbox. The goal is to control the orientation
of fibres at the outlet by shape variations. The mathematical formulation leads to an optimization problem with control in
coefficients of a linear convection-diffusion equation as the state problem. Existence of solutions both to the state and
the optimization problem is analyzed and sensitivity analysis is performed. Further, discretization is done and a numerical
example is shown.

On the Self-adjointness of the Product Operators of Two ruth-Order Differential Operators on [0, +∞)
JianYeAN JiongSUN 《数学学报(英文版)》2004,20(5):793-802
In the present paper, the self-adjointness of the product of two mth-order differential operators on [0, ∞) is studied. By means of the construction theory of self-adjoint operators and matrix computation, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition to ensure that the product operator is self-adjoint, which extends the results in the second order case. 相似文献

A new IPM (interior point method) for LPs has been discussed in Murty (Algorithmic Oper Res 1:3–19, 2006; Tutorials in OR, INFORMS, pp 1–36, 2006) based on a centering step that attempts to maximize the radius of the
inscribed sphere with center on the current objective plane, and using descent directions derived without using matrix inversions.
The method is a descent method and may be called the sphere method for LP. In contrast to all the existing IPMs which involve heavy matrix inversions in each step, an advantage of the new method
is that it can be implemented with no matrix inversions, or using them only sparingly. We discuss various techniques for implementing
this method. These implementations offer the prospect of extending the superior performance of existing software systems for
LP, to models that do not have the property of being very sparse. 相似文献

Non-monotone trust region methods for nonlinear equality constrained optimization without a penalty function 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We propose and analyze a class of penalty-function-free nonmonotone trust-region methods for nonlinear equality constrained
optimization problems. The algorithmic framework yields global convergence without using a merit function and allows nonmonotonicity
independently for both, the constraint violation and the value of the Lagrangian function. Similar to the Byrd–Omojokun class
of algorithms, each step is composed of a quasi-normal and a tangential step. Both steps are required to satisfy a decrease
condition for their respective trust-region subproblems. The proposed mechanism for accepting steps combines nonmonotone decrease
conditions on the constraint violation and/or the Lagrangian function, which leads to a flexibility and acceptance behavior
comparable to filter-based methods. We establish the global convergence of the method. Furthermore, transition to quadratic
local convergence is proved. Numerical tests are presented that confirm the robustness and efficiency of the approach.

In a planar periodic Lorentz gas, a point particle (electron) moves freely and collides with fixed round obstacles (ions).
If a constant force (induced by an electric field) acts on the particle, the latter will accelerate, and its speed will approach
infinity (Chernov and Dolgopyat in J Am Math Soc 22:821–858, 2009; Phys Rev Lett 99, paper 030601, 2007). To keep the kinetic
energy bounded one can apply a Gaussian thermostat, which forces the particle’s speed to be constant. Then an electric current
sets in and one can prove Ohm’s law and the Einstein relation (Chernov and Dolgopyat in Russian Math Surv 64:73–124, 2009;
Chernov et al. Comm Math Phys 154:569–601, 1993; Phys Rev Lett 70:2209–2212, 1993). However, the Gaussian thermostat has been
criticized as unrealistic, because it acts all the time, even during the free flights between collisions. We propose a new
model, where during the free flights the electron accelerates, but at the collisions with ions its total energy is reset to
a fixed level; thus our thermostat is restricted to the surface of the scatterers (the ‘walls’). We rederive all physically
interesting facts proven for the Gaussian thermostat in Chernov, Dolgopyat (Russian Math Surv 64:73–124, 2009) and Chernov
et al. (Comm Math Phys 154:569–601, 1993; Phys Rev Lett 70:2209–2212, 1993), including Ohm’s law and the Einstein relation.
In addition, we investigate the superconductivity phenomenon in the infinite horizon case. 相似文献

An information-theoretic approach is applied for measuring the flexibility in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). The general relation between flexibility and entropy is discussed. The entropy for a Markovian process is obtained and then applied to closed queueing network models of FMSs to discuss loading flexibility which arises from the power to regulate the frequency of the visit of a part to different work stations. The concept of operations entropy as a measure of operations flexibility, which arises from the power to choose the work station and the corresponding operations, is introduced. The operations entropy has been decomposed into entropies within and between operations and entropies within and between groups of operations. This measure has been used to determine the next operation to be performed on a part by using the principle of least reduction of flexibility.The present paper is an improved version of the paper On measurement of flexibility in flexible manufacturing systems: An information-theoretic approach, presented at the II ORSA/TIMS Special Conference on Flexible Manufacturing Systems, held at Ann Arbor in August 1986. 相似文献

Within the limits of the theory of asymmetric elasticity, two (kinematic and static) approaches are offered to constructing
the governing equations for a layered hybrid composite of regular structure with isotropic constituents. As a criteria of
equivalence between the layered composition and a homogeneous transversely isotropic material, the equality of the specific
free energy and the specific thermodynamic Gibbs energy in them is used, which allows one to determine the upper and lower
bounds for the effective rigidities of the layered material.

In the open problem session of the FPSAC’03, R.P. Stanley gave an open problem about a certain sum of the Schur functions.
The purpose of this paper is to give a proof of this open problem. The proof consists of three steps. At the first step we
express the sum by a Pfaffian as an application of our minor summation formula (Ishikawa and Wakayama in Linear Multilinear
Algebra 39:285–305, 1995). In the second step we prove a Pfaffian analogue of a Cauchy type identity which generalizes Sundquist’s
Pfaffian identities (J. Algebr. Comb. 5:135–148, 1996). Then we give a proof of Stanley’s open problem in Sect. 4. At the end of this paper we present certain corollaries obtained
from this identity involving the Big Schur functions and some polynomials arising from the Macdonald polynomials, which generalize
Stanley’s open problem.

Lowest Landau level approach in superconductivity for the Abrikosov lattice close to
$$H_{{c}_{2}}$$
We study the Ginzburg–Landau energy for a superconductor submitted to a magnetic field just below the “second critical field” . When the Ginzburg–Landau parameter ε is small, we show that the mean energy per unit volume can be approximated by a reduced
energy on a torus. Moreover, we expand this reduced energy in terms of : when this quantity gets small, the problem amounts to a minimization problem on a finite-dimensional space, equivalent to
the “lowest Landau level” in other approaches. The functions in this finite-dimensional space can themselves be expressed
via the Jacobi Theta function of a lattice. This connects the Ginzburg–Landau energy to the “Abrikosov problem” of locating
vortices optimally on a lattice.

A new method for obtaining computable estimates for the difference between exact solutions of elliptic variational inequalities
and arbitrary functions in the respective energy space is suggested. The estimates are obtained by transforming the corresponding
variational inequality without the use of variational duality arguments. These estimates are valid for any function in the
energy class and contain no constants depending on the mesh used to find an approximate solution. This method for linear elliptic
and parabolic problems was earlier suggested by the author. The guaranteed error bounds we derive can be of two types. Estimates
of the first type contain only one global constant, which is a constant in the Friedrichs type inequality. Estimates of the
second type are based on the decomposition of Ω into convex subdomains and the Payne–Weinberger inequalities for these subdomains.

In this paper we are interested in the sufficient conditions which guarantee the regularity of solutions of 3-D ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations in the arbitrary time interval [0,T]. Five sufficient conditions are given. Our results are motivated by two main ideas: one is to control the accumulation of vorticity alone; the other is to generalize the corresponding geometric conditions of 3-D Euler equations to 3-D ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations. 相似文献

For reducing the vibration and noise of helicopter rotor blades, the method of their controlled twisting by using built-in
deformation actuators is employed. In this paper, the influence of various design parameters of the blades, including the
location of actuators made of a piezomacrofiber material, on the twist angle is evaluated. The results of a parametric analysis
performed allowed us to refine the statement of an optimization problem for the rotor blades.
