New modular relations involving cubes of the Göllnitz–Gordon functions

Chen and Huang established some elegant modular relations for the Göllnitz–Gordon functions analogous to Ramanujan’s list of forty identities for the Rogers–Ramanujan functions. In this paper, we derive some new modular relations involving cubes of the Göllnitz–Gordon functions. Furthermore, we also provide new proofs of some modular relations for the Göllnitz–Gordon functions due to Gugg.     

Turán-type inequalities for Struve,modified Struve and Anger–Weber functions

The aim of this paper is to establish the Turán-type inequalities for Struve functions, modified Struve functions, Anger–Weber functions and Hurwitz zeta function, by using a new form of the Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz inequality.     

A super Frobenius formula for the characters of Iwahori–Hecke algebras

In this article, we establish a super Frobenius formula for the characters of Iwahori–Hecke algebras. We define Hall–Littlewood supersymmetric functions in a standard manner to make supersymmetric functions from symmetric functions, and give some properties of supersymmetric functions. Based on Schur–Weyl reciprocity between Iwahori–Hecke algebras and the general quantum super algebras, which was obtained in Mitsuhashi [H. Mitsuhashi, Schur–Weyl reciprocity between the quantum superalgebra and the Iwahori–Hecke algebra, Algeb. Represent. Theor. 9 (2006), pp. 309–322.], we derive that the Hall–Littlewood supersymmetric functions, up to constant, generates the values of the irreducible characters of Iwahori–Hecke algebras at the elements corresponding to cycle permutations. Our formula in this article includes both the ordinary quantum case that was obtained in Ram [A. Ram, A Frobenius formula for the characters of the Hecke algebra, Invent. Math. 106 (1991), pp. 461–488.] and the classical super case.     

Modular equations for cubes of the Rogers–Ramanujan and Ramanujan–Göllnitz–Gordon functions and their associated continued fractions

In this paper, we prove modular identities involving cubes of the Rogers–Ramanujan functions. Applications are given to proving relations for the Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction. Some of our identities are new. We establish analogous results for the Ramanujan–Göllnitz–Gordon functions and the Ramanujan–Göllnitz–Gordon continued fraction. Finally, we offer applications to the theory of partitions.     

The Crank–Nicolson finite spectral element method and numerical simulations for 2D non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper, we first build a semi-discretized Crank–Nicolson (CN) model about time for the two-dimensional (2D) non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations about vorticity–stream functions and discuss the existence, stability, and convergence of the time semi-discretized CN solutions. And then, we build a fully discretized finite spectral element CN (FSECN) model based on the bilinear trigonometric basic functions on quadrilateral elements for the 2D non-stationary Navier–Stokes equations about the vorticity–stream functions and discuss the existence, stability, and convergence of the FSECN solutions. Finally, we utilize two sets of numerical experiments to check out the correctness of theoretical consequences.     

Painlevé analysis,lump-kink solutions and localized excitation solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli equation

In this paper the (3+1)-dimensional Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli (BLMP) equation is investigated. The integrability test is performed yielding a positive result. Through the Painlevé–Bäcklund transformation, we derive four types of lump-kink solutions composed of two quadratic functions and N exponential functions. It is shown that fission and fusion interactions occur in the lump-kink solutions. Furthermore, a new variable separation solution with two arbitrary functions is obtained, the localized excitations including lumps, dromions and periodic waves are analyzed by some graphs.     

Optimal reinsurance for Gerber–Shiu functions in the Cramér–Lundberg model

Complementing existing results on minimal ruin probabilities, we minimize expected discounted penalty functions (or Gerber–Shiu functions) in a Cramér–Lundberg model by choosing optimal reinsurance. Reinsurance strategies are modeled as time dependent control functions, which lead to a setting from the theory of optimal stochastic control and ultimately to the problem’s Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. We show existence and uniqueness of the solution found by this method and provide numerical examples involving light and heavy tailed claims and also give a remark on the asymptotics.     

Nondifferentiable multiobjective programming under generalized d-univexity

In this paper, we are concerned with a nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problem with inequality constraints. We introduce four new classes of generalized convex functions by combining the concepts of weak strictly pseudoinvex, strong pseudoinvex, weak quasi invex, weak pseudoinvex and strong quasi invex functions in Aghezzaf and Hachimi [Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 22 (2001) 775], d-invex functions in Antczak [Europ. J. Oper. Res. 137 (2002) 28] and univex functions in Bector et al. [Univex functions and univex nonlinear programming, Proc. Admin. Sci. Assoc. Canada, 1992, p. 115]. By utilizing the new concepts, we derive a Karush–Kuhn–Tucker sufficient optimality condition and establish Mond–Weir type and general Mond–Weir type duality results for the nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problem.     

Spherical limits for Riesz potentials of functions in central generalized Orlicz-Morrey spaces on the unit ball

We introduce central generalized Orlicz–Morrey spaces on the unit ball, and study the weighted behavior of spherical means for Riesz potentials of functions in those spaces. We also treat Orlicz–Morrey–Sobolev functions which are monotone in the punctured unit ball in the sense of Lebesgue.     

Spherical and Whittaker functions via DAHA II

This paper is focused on the spinor (nonsymmetric) Whittaker functions in the rank one, related q-Toda–Dunkl operators, and other aspects of the spinor construction, including one-dimensional Bessel functions and the isomorphism between the affine Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation and the Quantum many-body problem (the Heckman–Opdam system).     

On the confusion and diffusion properties of Maiorana–McFarland's and extended Maiorana–McFarland's functions

A practical problem in symmetric cryptography is finding constructions of Boolean functions leading to reasonably large sets of functions satisfying some desired cryptographic criteria. The main known construction, called Maiorana–McFarland, has been recently extended. Some other constructions exist, but lead to smaller classes of functions. Here, we study more in detail the nonlinearities and the resiliencies of the functions produced by all these constructions. Further we see how to obtain functions satisfying the propagation criterion (among which bent functions) with these methods, and we give a new construction of bent functions based on the extended Maiorana–McFarland's construction.     

On Extension and Continuity of p–Additive Functions

In this paper we prove some properties of p–additive functions as well as p–additive set–valued functions.     

Integral manifolds for uncertain impulsive differential–difference equations with variable impulsive perturbations

In the present paper sufficient conditions for the existence of integral manifolds of uncertain impulsive differential–difference equations with variable impulsive perturbations are obtained. The investigations are carried out by means the concepts of uniformly positive definite matrix functions, Hamilton–Jacobi–Riccati inequalities and piecewise continuous Lyapunov’s functions.     

Łojasiewicz inequalities in o-minimal structures

This note is devoted to the generalization of ?ojasiewicz inequalities for functions definable in o-minimal structures, which is, roughly speaking, a generalization for semialgebraic or global subanalytic functions. We present some o-minimal versions of the inequalities to compare two definable functions globally or in some neighborhoods of the zero-sets of the functions, and the gradient inequalities (Kurdyka–?ojasiewicz inequality and Bochnak–?ojasiewicz inequality). Some applications of the inequalities are given.     

Weighted Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer type inequalities for convex functions

In this paper, first, we prove the weighted Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer inequalities for convex functions, after we establish some new weighted inequalities connected with the right‐sides of weighted Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer type inequalities for differentiable functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain powers are convex. The results presented here would provide extensions of those given in earlier works.

Boole–De Morgan Algebras and Quasi-De Morgan Functions

In this paper we establish a Stone-type and a Birkhoff-type representation theorems for Boole–De Morgan algebras and prove that the free Boole–De Morgan algebra on n free generators is isomorphic to the Boole–De Morgan algebra of quasi-De Morgan functions of n variables. Also we introduce the concept of Zhegalkin polynomials for quasi-De Morgan functions and consider the representation problem of those functions by polynomials.     

Relative difference sets,graphs and inequivalence of functions between groups

For cryptographic purposes, we want to find functions with both low differential uniformity and dissimilarity to all linear functions and to know when such functions are essentially different. For vectorial Boolean functions, extended affine equivalence and the coarser Carlet–Charpin–Zinoviev (CCZ) equivalence are both used to distinguish between nonlinear functions. It remains hard to tell when CCZ equivalent functions are EA‐inequivalent. This paper presents a framework for solving this problem in full generality, for functions between arbitrary finite groups. This common framework is based on relative difference sets (RDSs). The CCZ and EA equivalence classes of perfect nonlinear (PN) functions are each derived, by quite different processes, from equivalence classes of splitting semiregular RDSs. By generalizing these processes, we obtain a much strengthened formula for all the graph equivalences which define the EA equivalence class of a given function, amongst those which define its CCZ equivalence class. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Generalized Maiorana–McFarland class and normality of p-ary bent functions

A class of bent functions which contains bent functions with various properties like regular, weakly regular and not weakly regular bent functions in even and in odd dimension, is analyzed. It is shown that this class includes the Maiorana–McFarland class as a special case. Known classes and examples of bent functions in odd characteristic are examined for their relation to this class. In the second part, normality for bent functions in odd characteristic is analyzed. It turns out that differently to Boolean bent functions, many – also quadratic – bent functions in odd characteristic and even dimension are not normal. It is shown that regular Coulter–Matthews bent functions are normal.     

Remarks on a main inequality for several special functions

It is shown that the main inequality for several special functions derived in [Masjed-Jamei M. A main inequality for several special functions. Comput Math Appl. 2010;60:1280–1289] can be put in a concise form, and that the main inequalities of the first kind Bessel function, Laplace and Fourier transforms are not valid as presented in the aforementioned paper. To provide alternative inequalities, we give a generalization, being in some cases an improvement, of the Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz inequality which can be applied to real functions not necessarily of constant sign. The corresponding discrete inequality is also obtained, which we use to improve the inequalities of the Riemann zeta and the generalized Hurwitz–Lerch zeta functions. Finally, from the main concise inequality, we derive a Turán-type inequality.
