Oscillatory behavior of the second-order nonlinear neutral difference equations

In this paper, we consider the oscillation of the second-order neutral difference equation $$\Delta ^2 \left( {x_n - px_{n - \tau } } \right) + q_n f\left( {x_{n - \sigma _n } } \right) = 0$$ as well as the oscillatory behavior of the corresponding ordinary difference equation $$\Delta ^2 z_n + q_n f\left( {R\left( {n,\lambda } \right)z_n } \right) = 0$$ .

Mean value of weyl sums

We give a simple proof of a mean value theorem of I. M. Vinogradov in the following form. Suppose P, n, k, τ are integers, P≥1, n≥2, k≥n (τ+1), τ≥0. Put $$J_{k,n} (P) = \int_0^1 \cdots \int_0^1 {\left| {\sum\nolimits_{x = 1}^P {e^{2\pi i(a_1 x + \cdots + a_n x^n )} } } \right|^{2k} da_1 \ldots da_n .} $$ Then $$J_{k,n} \leqslant n!k^{2n\tau } n^{\sigma n^2 u} \cdot 2^{2n^2 \tau } P^{2k - \Delta } ,$$ where $$\begin{gathered} u = u_\tau = min(n + 1,\tau ), \hfill \\ \Delta = \Delta _\tau = n(n + 1)/2 - (1 - 1/n)^{\tau + 1} n^2 /2. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$      

Sufficient conditions for absolute asymptotic stability of linear equations in a Banach space

For a linear differential equation of the type (1) $$\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = A_0 x(t) + A_1 x(t - \Delta _1 ) + ... + A_n x(t - \Delta _n )$$ we establish the followingTHEOREM. If $$\overline {\left| {z_1 } \right| = ...\underline{\underline \cup } \left| z \right|_n = 1\sigma \left( {A_0 + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {z_k A_k } } \right)} \subset \left\{ {\lambda :\operatorname{Re} \lambda< 0} \right\}$$ then system (1) is absolutely asymptotically stable.

On a semilinear volterra integrodifferential equation

The Volterra integrodifferential equation $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u_t (t,x) + \smallint '_0 a(t - s)( - \Delta u(s,x) + f(x,u(s,x)))ds = h(t,x),,} \\ {t > 0,x \in \Omega \subset R^N ,} \\ \end{array} $$ together with boundary and initial conditions is considered. The existence of global solutions (in time) is established under weak assumptions onf. An application in heat flow is also indicated.     

Well-posedness of a semilinear heat equation with weak initial data

This article mainly consists of two parts. In the first part the initial value problem (IVP) of the semilinear heat equation $$\begin{gathered} \partial _t u - \Delta u = \left| u \right|^{k - 1} u, on \mathbb{R}^n x(0,\infty ), k \geqslant 2 \hfill \\ u(x,0) = u_0 (x), x \in \mathbb{R}^n \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ with initial data in $\dot L_{r,p} $ is studied. We prove the well-posedness when $$1< p< \infty , \frac{2}{{k(k - 1)}}< \frac{n}{p} \leqslant \frac{2}{{k - 1}}, and r =< \frac{n}{p} - \frac{2}{{k - 1}}( \leqslant 0)$$ and construct non-unique solutions for $$1< p< \frac{{n(k - 1)}}{2}< k + 1, and r< \frac{n}{p} - \frac{2}{{k - 1}}.$$ In the second part the well-posedness of the avove IVP for k=2 with μ₀?H ^s (? ⁿ ) is proved if $$ - 1< s, for n = 1, \frac{n}{2} - 2< s, for n \geqslant 2.$$ and this result is then extended for more general nonlinear terms and initial data. By taking special values of r, p, s, and u₀, these well-posedness results reduce to some of those previously obtained by other authors [4, 14].     

On simultaneous approximation by lagrange interpolating polynomials

This paper considers to replace △_m(x)=(1-x~2)~2(1/2)/n +1/n~2 in the following result for simultaneousLagrange interpolating approximation with (1-x~2)~2(1/2)/n: Let f∈C_(-1.1)~0 and r=[(q+2)/2],then|f~(k)(x)-P_~(k)(f,x)|=O(1)△_(n)~(a-k)(x)ω(f~(a),△(x))(‖L_n-‖+‖L_n‖),0≤k≤q,where P_n( f ,x)is the Lagrange interpolating polynomial of degree n+ 2r-1 of f on the nodes X_nU Y_n(see the definition of the text), and thus give a problem raised in [XiZh] a complete answer.     

Approximation of the function sign x in the uniform and integral metrics by means of rational functions

Estimates are obtained for the nonsymmetric deviations R_n [sign x] and R_n [sign x]_L of the function sign x from rational functions of degree ≤n, respectively, in the metric $$c([ - 1, - \delta ] \cup [\delta ,1]), 0< \delta< exp( - \alpha \surd \overline n ), \alpha > 0,$$ and in the metric L[?1, 1]: $$\begin{gathered} R_n [sign x] _{\frown }^\smile exp \{ - \pi ^2 n/(2 ln 1/\delta )\} , n \to \infty , \hfill \\ 10^{ - 3} n^{ - 2} \exp ( - 2\pi \surd \overline n )< R_n [sign x_{|L}< \exp ( - \pi \surd \overline {n/2} + 150). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Let 0 < δ < 1, Δ (δ)=[?1, ? δ] ∪ [δ, 1]; $$\begin{gathered} R_n [f;\Delta (\delta )] = R_n [f] = inf max |f(x) - R(x)|, \hfill \\ R_n [f;[ - 1,1] ]_L = R_n [f]_L = \mathop {inf}\limits_{R(x)} \smallint _{ - 1}^1 |f(x) - R(x)|dx, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where R(x) is a rational function of order at most n. Bulanov [1] proved that for δ ε [e^?n, e^?1] the inequality $$\exp \left( {\frac{{\pi ^2 n}}{{2\ln (1/\delta }}} \right) \leqslant R_n [sign x] \leqslant 30 exp\left( {\frac{{\pi ^2 n}}{{2\ln (1/\delta + 4 ln ln (e/\delta ) + 4}}} \right)$$ is valid. The lower estimate in this inequality was previously obtained by Gonchar ([2], cf. also [1]).     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions of forced nonlinear neutral difference equations

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the forced nonlinear neutral difference equation $$\Delta \left[ {x(n) - \sum\limits_{i - 1}^m {p_i (n)x(n - k_i )} } \right] + \sum\limits_{j = 1}^s {q_j (n)f(x(n - l_j )) = r(n)} $$ with sign changing coefficients. Some sufficient conditions for every solution of (*) to tend to zero are established. The results extend and improve some known theorems in literature.     

Interpolation with lagrange polynomials a simple proof of Markov inequality and some of its generalizations

The following theorem is provedTheorem 1.Let q be a polynomial of degree n(qP_n)with n distinct zeroes lying inthe interval[-1,1] and△'_q={-1}∪{τ_i:q'(τ_i)=0,i=1,n-1}∪{1}.If polynomial pP_n satisfies the inequalitythen for each k=1,n and any x[-1,1]its k-th derivative satisfies the inequality丨p~(k)(x)丨≤max{丨q~((k))(x)丨,丨1/k(x~2-1)q~(k+1)(x)+xq~((k))(x)丨}.This estimate leads to the Markov inequality for the higher order derivatives ofpolynomials if we set q=T_n,where Tn is Chebyshev polynomial least deviated from zero.Some other results are established which gives evidence to the conjecture that under theconditions of Theorem 1 the inequality ‖p~((k))‖≤‖q~(k)‖holds.

Boundedness of solutions of second order nonlinear dynamic equations

This paper deals with the boundedness of the solutions of the following dynamic equations(r(t)x△(t))△+a(t)f(xσ(t))+b(t)g(xσ(t))=0and(r(t)x△(t))△+a(t)xσ(t)+b(t)f(x(t-τ(t)))=e(t)on a time scale T.By using the Bellman integral inequality,we establish some suffcient conditions for boundedness of solutions of the above equations.Our results not only unify the boundedness results for differential and difference equations but are also new for the q-difference equations.

On the error term for the counting functions of finite Abelian groups

Leta(n) denote the number of non-isomorphic Abelian groups withn elements, and Δ(x) (resp. Δ _x ) appropriate error terms in the asymptotic formulas for the counting function \(\sum\nolimits_{n \leqslant x} {a(n)} (resp. \sum\nolimits_{m n \leqslant x} {a(m)} a(n))\) .
