Generalized composition operators from F(p, q, s) spaces to Bloch-type spaces

Let H(B) denote the space of all holomorphic functions on the unit ball B of Cⁿ. Let φ be a holomorphic self-map of B and g ∈ H(B) such that g(0) = 0. In this paper, we investigate the boundedness and compactness of the generalized composition operator

     

Soliton solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional and (3 + 1)-dimensional K(m, n) equations

We consider the nonlinear dispersive K(m,n) equation with the generalized evolution term and derive analytical expressions for some conserved quantities. By using a solitary wave ansatz in the form of sech^p function, we obtain exact bright soliton solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional and (3 + 1)-dimensional K(m,n) equations with the generalized evolution terms. The results are then generalized to multi-dimensional K(m,n) equations in the presence of the generalized evolution term. An extended form of the K(m,n) equation with perturbation term is investigated. Exact bright soliton solution for the proposed K(m,n) equation having higher-order nonlinear term is determined. The physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as function of the dependent model coefficients.     

Reliability of a consecutive (r, s)-out-of-(m, n):F lattice system with conditions on the number of failed components in the system

A consecutive(r, s)-out-of-(m, n):F lattice system which is defined as a two-dimensional version of a consecutive k-out-of-n:F system is used as a reliability evaluation model for a sensor system, an X-ray diagnostic system, a pattern search system, etc. This system consists of m × n components arranged like an (m, n) matrix and fails iff the system has an (r, s) submatrix that contains all failed components. In this paper we deal a combined model of a k-out-of-mn:F and a consecutive (r, s)-out-of-(m, n):F lattice system. Namely, the system has one more condition of system down, that is the total number of failed components, in addition to that of a consecutive (r, s)-out-of-(m, n):F lattice system. We present a method to obtain reliability of the system. The proposed method obtains the reliability by using a combinatorial equation that does not depend on the system size. Some numerical examples are presented to show the relationship between component reliability and system reliability.     

Recursive algorithm for the reliability of a connected-(1, 2)-or-(2, 1)-out-of-(m, n):F lattice system

The connected-(1, 2)-or-(2, 1)-out-of-(m, n):F lattice system is included by the connected-X-out-of-(m, n):F lattice system defined by Boehme et al. [Boehme, T.K., Kossow, A., Preuss, W., 1992. A generalization of consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system. IEEE Transactions on Reliability 41, 451–457]. This system fails if and only if at least one subset of connected failed components occurs which includes at least a (1, 2)-matrix (that is, a row and two columns) or a (2, 1)-matrix(that is, two rows and a column) of failed components. This system is applied to two-dimensional network problems with adjacent constraints, and various systems, for example, a supervision system, etc.     

Exact solutions of nonlinear dispersive K(m, n) model with variable coefficients

The variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with additional terms contributed from the inhomogeneity in the axial direction and the strong transverse confinement of the condense was presented to describe the dynamics of nonlinear excitations in trapped quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive atom-atom interactions. To understand the role of nonlinear dispersion in this variable-coefficient model, we introduce and study a new variable-coefficient KdV with nonlinear dispersion (called vc-K(m, n) equation). With the aid of symbolic computation, we obtain its compacton-like solutions and solitary pattern-like solutions. Moreover, we also present some conservation laws for both vc-K⁺(n, n) equation and vc-K⁻(n, n) equation.     

An algorithm for mean residual life computation of (n − k + 1)-out-of-n systems: An application of exponentiated Weibull distribution

In this paper, we establish an algorithm for the computation of the mean residual life of a (n − k + 1)-out-of-n system in the case of independent but not necessarily identically distributed lifetimes of the components. An application for the exponentiated Weibull distribution is given to study the effect of various parameters on the mean residual life of the system. Also the relationship between the mean residual life for the system and that of its components is investigated.     

The equivalence of curves in SL(n, R) and its application to ruled surfaces

The generating system of the differential algebra for invariant differential polynomials with two parametric curves is obtained. Conditions for the equivalence of two parametric curves families are given. We are also proved that the generating differential invariants of two parametric curves are independent. Finally, we reduce the SL(n, R)-equivalent problem for ruled surfaces to that of parametric curves.     

Approximation of signals of class Lip(α, p) by linear operators

Mittal, Rhoades [5], [6], [7] and [8] and Mittal et al. [9] and [10] have initiated a study of error estimates E_n(f) through trigonometric-Fourier approximation (tfa) for the situations in which the summability matrix T does not have monotone rows. In this paper we continue the work. Here we extend two theorems of Leindler [4], where he has weakened the conditions on {p_n} given by Chandra [2], to more general classes of triangular matrix methods. Our Theorem also partially generalizes Theorem 4 of Mittal et al. [11] by dropping the monotonicity on the elements of matrix rows, which in turn generalize the results of Quade [15].     

Graph convergence for the H(·, ·)-accretive operator in Banach spaces with an application

In this paper, a concept of graph convergence concerned with the H(·, ·)-accretive operator is introduced in Banach spaces and some equivalence theorems between of graph-convergence and resolvent operator convergence for the H(·, ·)-accretive operator sequence are proved. As an application, a perturbed algorithm for solving a class of variational inclusions involving the H(·, ·)-accretive operator is constructed. Under some suitable conditions, the existence of the solution for the variational inclusions and the convergence of iterative sequence generated by the perturbed algorithm are also given.     

A system of generalized variational inclusions involving generalized H(·, ·)-accretive mapping in real q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces

In this paper, we consider a class of accretive mappings called generalized H(·, ·)-accretive mappings in Banach spaces. We prove that the proximal-point mapping of the generalized H(·, ·)-accretive mapping is single-valued and Lipschitz continuous. Further, we consider a system of generalized variational inclusions involving generalized H(·, ·)-accretive mappings in real q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Using proximal-point mapping method, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution and suggest an iterative algorithm for the system of generalized variational inclusions. Furthermore, we discuss the convergence criteria of the iterative algorithm under some suitable conditions. Our results can be viewed as a refinement and improvement of some known results in the literature.     

On contracts for VMI program with continuous review (r, Q) policy

Based on continuous review (r, Q) policy, this paper deals with contracts for vendor managed inventory (VMI) program in a system comprising a single vendor and a single retailer. Two business scenarios that are popular in VMI program are “vendor with ownership” and “retailer with ownership”. Taking the system performance in centralized control as benchmark, we define a contract “perfect” if the contract can enable the system to be coordinated and can guarantee the program to be trusted. A revenue sharing contract is designed for vendor with ownership, and a franchising contract is designed for retailer with ownership. Without consideration of order policy and related costs at the vendor site, it is shown that one contract can perform satisfactorily and the other one is a perfect contract. With consideration of order policy and related costs at the vendor site, it is shown that one contract can perform satisfactorily and the performance of the other one depends on system parameters.     

Weighted differentiation composition operators from H and Bloch spaces to nth weighted-type spaces on the unit disk

We characterize the boundedness and compactness of weighted differentiation composition operators from the space of bounded analytic functions, the Bloch space and the little Bloch space to nth weighted-type spaces on the unit disk.     

Composition followed by differentiation from H and the Bloch space to nth weighted-type spaces on the unit disk

The boundedness and compactness of the product of the differentiation and composition operator from the space of bounded analytic functions, the Bloch space and the little Bloch space to nth weighted-type spaces on the unit disk are characterized.     

Special exact soliton solutions for the K(2, 2) equation with non-zero constant pedestal

Special exact solutions of the K(2, 2) equation, u_t + (u²)_x + (u²)_xxx = 0, are investigated by employing the qualitative theory of differential equations. Our procedure shows that the K(2, 2) equation either has loop soliton, cusped soliton and smooth soliton solutions when sitting on the non-zero constant pedestal lim_x→±∞u = A ≠ 0, or possesses compacton solutions only when lim_x→±∞u = 0. Mathematical analysis and numerical simulations are provided for these soliton solutions of the K(2, 2) equation.     

A simple cost minimization procedure for the (Q, r) inventory system with a specified fixed cost per stockout occasion

For fast-moving A items, Silver et al. [E.A. Silver, D.F. Pyke, R. Peterson, Inventory Management and Production Planning and Scheduling, third ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 1998] explore the (Q, r) inventory system with a specified cost per stockout occasion. However, a number of difficulties have impeded the implement of their solution procedure. That is, the total relevant cost function is not convex in general, so the convergence of the Silver et al.’s solution procedure to the optimal solution of the total relevant cost function is not necessarily true. An easier and more accurate solution procedure is proposed to overcome the shortcoming of the Silver et al.’s solution procedure.     

Symmetric duality with (p, r) − ρ − (η, θ)-invexity

In this paper we introduce a new type of generalized invex function, called (p, r) − ρ − (η, θ)-invex function and study symmetric duality results under these assumptions. In our study the nonnegative orthants for the constraints are replaced by closed convex cones and their polars. We establish weak and strong duality theorems under (p, r) − ρ − (η, θ)-invexity assumptions for the symmetric dual problems. We also give many examples to justify our results.     

Weighted differentiation composition operators from mixed-norm spaces to weighted-type spaces

Motivated by the recent paper [X. Zhu, Products of differentiation composition and multiplication from Bergman type spaces to Bers spaces, Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 18 (3) (2007) 223-231], we study the boundedness and compactness of the weighted differentiation composition operator , where u is a holomorphic function on the unit disk D, φ is a holomorphic self-map of D and n∈N₀, from the mixed-norm space H(p, q, ?), where p,q > 0 and ? is normal, to the weighted-type space or the little weighted-type space . For the case of the weighted Bergman space , p > 1, some bounds for the essential norm of the operator are also given.
