We consider the variants of Besicovitch-Eggleston sets in symbolic spaces, and determine their fractal dimensions.     

A modified Newton-Jarratt’s composition

A reduced composition technique has been used on Newton and Jarratt’s methods in order to obtain an optimal relation between convergence order, functional evaluations and number of operations. Following this aim, a family of methods is obtained whose efficiency indices are proved to be better for systems of nonlinear equations.

Approximation by modified Szász-Durrmeyer operators

The main goal of this paper is to introduce Durrmeyer modifications for the generalized Szász–Mirakyan operators defined in (Aral et al., in Results Math 65:441–452, 2014). The construction of the new operators is based on a function \(\rho \) which is continuously differentiable \(\infty \) times on \( \left[ 0,\infty \right) ,\) such that \(\rho \left( 0\right) =0\) and \( \inf _{x\in \left[ 0,\infty \right) }\rho ^{\prime }\left( x\right) \ge 1.\) Involving the weighted modulus of continuity constructed using the function \( \rho \), approximation properties of the operators are explored: uniform convergence over unbounded intervals is established and a quantitative Voronovskaya theorem is given. Moreover, we obtain direct approximation properties of the operators in terms of the moduli of smoothness. Our results show that the new operators are sensitive to the rate of convergence to f,  depending on the selection of \(\rho .\) For the particular case \(\rho \left( x\right) =x\), the previous results for classical Szász-Durrmeyer operators are captured.     

Weighted approximation by modified Kantorovich–Bernstein operators

We introduce a new type of Kantorovich–Bernstein operators. Direct and converse theorems and a Voronovskaya-type relation are given for the weighted approximation with Jacobi weights w(x)=x ^α (1?x) ^β by the new operator. None of the results involved have the restriction ${\alpha,\beta<1-\frac{1}{p}}$ .     

A modified Kähler–Ricci flow

In this note, we study a Kähler–Ricci flow modified from the classic version. In the non-degenerate case, strong convergence at infinite time is achieved. The main focus should be on degenerate case, where some partial results are presented.     

Degenerate differential equations and modified Szász-Mirakjan operators

We consider the elliptic operator Lu(x):= xu″(x)+β(x)u′(x) + γ (x)u(x) with Wentzell-type boundary condition, in spaces of continuous function on [0,+∞[. We prove that such operators generate positive C ₀-semigroup which can be approximated by means of iterated of modified Szász-Mirakjan operators here introduced.     

An inexact modified subgradient algorithm for nonconvex optimization

We propose and analyze an inexact version of the modified subgradient (MSG) algorithm, which we call the IMSG algorithm, for nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization over a compact set. We prove that under an approximate, i.e. inexact, minimization of the sharp augmented Lagrangian, the main convergence properties of the MSG algorithm are preserved for the IMSG algorithm. Inexact minimization may allow to solve problems with less computational effort. We illustrate this through test problems, including an optimal bang-bang control problem, under several different inexactness schemes.     

The Navier–Stokes problem modified by an absorption term

It is well known that for the classical Navier–Stokes problem the best one can obtain is some decays in time of power type. With this in mind, we consider in this work, the classical Navier–Stokes problem modified by introducing, in the momentum equation, the absorption term |u|^σ?2 u, where σ > 1. For the obtained problem, we prove the existence of weak solutions for any dimension N ≥ 2 and its uniqueness for N = 2. Then we prove that, for zero body forces, the weak solutions extinct in a finite time if 1 < σ < 2 and exponentially decay in time if σ = 2. In the special case of a suitable force field which vanishes at some instant, we prove that the weak solutions extinct at the same instant provided 1 < σ < 2. We also prove that for non-zero body forces decaying at a power-time rate, the solutions decay at analogous power-time rates if σ > 2. Finally, we prove that for a general non-zero body force, the weak solutions exponentially decay in time for any σ > 1.     

Time-periodic solutions of dissipative ε-approximations for modified Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, the existence “in the large” of time-periodic classical solutions (with period T) is proved for the following two dissipative ε-approximations for the Navier-Stokes equations modified in the sense of O. A. Ladyzhenskaya:

Explicit symplectic multidimensional exponential fitting modified Runge-Kutta-Nyström methods

This paper is concerned with multidimensional exponential fitting modified Runge-Kutta-Nyström (MEFMRKN) methods for the system of oscillatory second-order differential equations q″(t)+Mq(t)=f(q(t)), where M is a d×d symmetric and positive semi-definite matrix and f(q) is the negative gradient of a potential scalar U(q). We formulate MEFMRKN methods and show clearly the relationship between MEFMRKN methods and multidimensional extended Runge-Kutta-Nyström (ERKN) methods proposed by Wu et al. (Comput. Phys. Comm. 181:1955–1962, 2010). Taking into account the fact that the oscillatory system is a separable Hamiltonian system with Hamiltonian \(H(p,q)=\frac{1}{2}p^{T}p+ \frac{1}{2}q^{T}Mq+U(q)\), we derive the symplecticity conditions for the MEFMRKN methods. Two explicit symplectic MEFMRKN methods are proposed. Numerical experiments accompanied demonstrate that our explicit symplectic MEFMRKN methods are more efficient than some well-known numerical methods appeared in the scientific literature.     

Regularized modified α-processes for nonlinear equations with monotone operators

For a stable approximation of the solution to a nonlinear irregular equation with a monotone operator, a two-step method based on Lavrent’ev scheme and nonlinear regularized α-processes is constructed. These processes are shown to have a linear convergence rate when used to approximate the solution of a regularized equation. The error of the regularized solution is estimated, and the two-step method is shown to be order optimal in the well-posedness class of sourcewise representable solutions.     

Residual symmetry,nth Bäcklund transformation,and soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solution for the combined modified KdV–negative-order modified KdV equation

This paper is concerned with the nth Bäcklund transformation (BT) related to multiple residual symmetries and soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solution for the combined modified KdV–negative-order modified KdV (mKdV-nmKdV) equation. The residual symmetry derived from the truncated Painlevé expansion can be extended to the multiple residual symmetries, which can be localized to Lie point symmetries by prolonging the combined mKdV-nmKdV equation to a larger system. The corresponding finite symmetry transformation, ie, nth BT, is presented in determinant form. As a result, new multiple singular soliton solutions can be obtained from known ones. We prove that the combined mKdV-nmKdV equation is integrable, possessing the second-order Lax pair and consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) property. Furthermore, we derive the exact soliton and soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solutions by applying the nonauto-BT obtained from the CRE method.     

Algebro-geometric solutions of the coupled modified Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy

Based on the stationary zero-curvature equation and the Lenard recursion equations, we derive the coupled modified Korteweg–de Vries (cmKdV) hierarchy associated with a 3×3$3\times 3$ matrix spectral problem. Resorting to the Baker–Akhiezer function and the characteristic polynomial of Lax matrix for the cmKdV hierarchy, we introduce a trigonal curve with three infinite points and two algebraic functions carrying the data of the divisor. The asymptotic properties of the Baker–Akhiezer function and the two algebraic functions are studied near three infinite points on the trigonal curve. Algebro-geometric solutions of the cmKdV hierarchy are obtained in terms of the Riemann theta function.     

Symmetric modified AOR method to solve systems of linear equations

We propose a class of symmetric modified accelerated overrelaxation (SMAOR) methods for solving large sparse linear systems. The convergence region of the method has been investigated. Numerical examples indicate that the SMAOR method is better than other methods such as accelerated overrelaxation(AOR) and modified accelerated overrelaxation(MAOR) methods, since the spectral radius of iteration matrix in SMAOR method is less than that of the other methods. Also, we apply the method to solve a real boundary value problem.     

Blow-up for a weakly dissipative modified two-component Camassa–Holm system

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of a weakly dissipative modified two-component Camassa–Holm (MCH2) system. We first derive the precise blow-up scenario and then give several criteria guaranteeing the blow-up of the solutions. We finally discuss the blow-up rate of the blowing-up solutions.     

Global attractor for the viscous modified two-component Camassa–Holm equation

We obtain the existence of global attractor for the Cauchy problem of a viscous modified two-component Camassa–Holm equation. The existence of global strong solutions is obtained using Kato’s theory. The key elements in our analysis are the uniform Gronwall lemma and some estimates of the solutions.
