where μ is the Lebesgue measure on and f,g:[0,1]→[0,∞) are two continuous and strictly monotone functions, both increasing or both decreasing. Also, some examples and applications are presented.     

Global existence and blow-up solutions and blow-up estimates for a non-local quasilinear degenerate parabolic system

This paper deals with p-Laplacian systems

with null Dirichlet boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain ΩR^N, where p,q>1, , and a,b>0 are positive constants. We first get the non-existence result for a related elliptic systems of non-increasing positive solutions. Secondly by using this non-existence result, blow-up estimates for above p-Laplacian systems with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value conditions are obtained under Ω=B_R={xR^N:|x|<R}(R>0). Then under appropriate hypotheses, we establish local theory of the solutions and obtain that the solutions either exists globally or blow-up in finite time.     

Global stability of a rational difference equation

In this paper, we study the global stability of the difference equation , where the parameters a,a_i(0,∞) for i=0,…,k, x_-k,…, x_-1[0,∞) and x₀(0,∞). We prove that the unique positive equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if and only if it is locally asymptotically. Also we provide sufficient condition for it to be globally asymptotically stable and our results solve the open problem proposed by Kulenović and Ladas (Dynamics of Second Order Rational Difference Equations with Open Problems and Conjectures, Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, 2002).

Then they prove that the solutions of the lattice complex Ginzburg–Landau equation converge to that of the lattice Schrödinger equation as ε→0+. Also they prove the upper semicontinuity of as ε→0+ in the sense that .     

The second kind Chebyshev–Newton–Cotes quadrature rule (open type) and its numerical improvement

The weighted Newton–Cotes quadrature rules of open type are denoted by

where w(x) is a positive function and is the step size. Various cases can be selected for the weight function of the above formula. In this paper, we consider as the main weight function and study the general formula:

The precision degree of the above formula is n + 1 for even n’s and is n for odd n’s but if one considers its upper and lower bounds as two additional variables, a nonlinear system will be derived whose solution improves the precision degree of above formula up to degree n + 2 numerically. In this way, some examples are given to show the numerical superiority of our idea.     

Asymptotic analysis of a perturbation problem

An asymptotic expansion is constructed for the solution of the initial-value problem

when t is restricted to the interval [0,T/ε], where T is any given number. Our analysis is mathematically rigorous; that is, we show that the difference between the true solution u(t,x;ε) and the Nth partial sum of the asymptotic series is bounded by ε^N+1 multiplied by a constant depending on T but not on x and t.

Stability properties of non-negative solutions to a non-autonomous p-Laplacian equation

We study the stability of non-negative stationary solutions of

where Δ_p denotes the p-Laplacian operator defined by Δ_pz = div(z^p−2z); p > 2, Ω is a bounded domain in R^N(N  1) with smooth boundary where [0,1],h:∂Ω→R⁺ with h = 1 when  = 1, λ > 0, and g:Ω×[0,∞)→R is a continuous function. If g(x, u)/u^p−1 be strictly increasing (decreasing), we provide a simple proof to establish that every non-trivial non-negative solution is unstable (stable).     

A priori error estimates for interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method applied to nonlinear Sobolev equations

A discontinuous Galerkin method with interior penalties is presented for nonlinear Sobolev equations. A semi-discrete and a family of Fully-discrete time approximate scheme are formulated. These schemes can be symmetric or nonsymmetric. Hp-version error estimates are analyzed for these schemes. Just because of a damping term ·(b(u)u_t) included in Sobolev equation, which is the distinct character different from parabolic equation, special test functions are chosen to deal with this term. Finally, a priori L^∞(H¹) error estimate is derived for the semi-discrete time scheme and similarly, l^∞(H¹) and l²(H¹) for the Fully-discrete time schemes. These results also indicate that spatial rates in H¹ and time truncation errors in L² are optimal.     

On a singular perturbation problem with two second-order turning points

In this paper, we study the singular perturbation problem

where 0<ε1 is a small positive parameter, p(x) and q(x) are sufficiently smooth and strictly positive functions. The main feature of this equation is that there are two second-order turning points in the interval (0,1). Based on the rigorous results on singular perturbation problems with one second-order turning point in our previous work, we obtain a uniform asymptotic approximation for the general solution of the above equation by means of a matching technique.

Nonlinear maps preserving Lie products on factor von Neumann algebras

In this paper, we prove that every bijective map preserving Lie products from a factor von Neumann algebra into another factor von Neumann algebra is of the form A→ψ(A)+ξ(A), where is an additive isomorphism or the negative of an additive anti-isomorphism and is a map with ξ(AB-BA)=0 for all .     

Uniform asymptotic expansions of the Pollaczek polynomials

Two uniform asymptotic expansions are obtained for the Pollaczek polynomials P_n(cosθ;a,b). One is for , , in terms of elementary functions and in descending powers of . The other is for , in terms of a special function closely related to the modified parabolic cylinder functions, in descending powers of n. This interval contains a turning point and all possible zeros of P_n(cosθ) in θ(0,π/2].

Coding for a multiple access OR channel: A survey

The signature coding for M active users out of T total users over a multiple access OR channel is considered. The mathematical problem is equivalent to the M-cover-free problem of extremal set theory. We survey the upper and lower bounds on the minimal code word length n(T,M), and present some code constructions. According to the current state of the theory, for 1MT

so there is a huge gap between the upper and lower bounds. Moreover, there is no known construction approaching the upper bound.     

An algorithm for calculating the independence and vertex-cover polynomials of a graph

The independence polynomial, ω(G,x)=∑w_kx^k, of a graph, G, has coefficients, w_k, that enumerate the ways of selecting k vertices from G so that no two selected vertices share an edge. The independence number of G is the largest value of k for which w_k≠0. Little is known of less straightforward relationships between graph structure and the properties of ω(G,x), in part because of the difficulty of calculating values of w_k for specific graphs. This study presents a new algorithm for these calculations which is both faster than existing ones and easily adaptable to high-level computer languages.     

Generalizing the Quinn–Wójs theorem on distinct multiplets of composite Fermions

The combinatorial tool of generating functions for restricted partitions is used to generalize a quantum physics theorem relating distinct multiplets of different angular momenta in the composite Fermion model of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Specifically, if g_ℓ(N,M) denotes the number of distinct multiplets of angular momentum ℓ and total angular momentum M, we prove that

where the sum is taken over all positive divisors of N and L(k)=kℓ-kN/2+3k/2-N+N/(2k)-1/2. The original Quinn–Wójs theorem results when k=1 and it appears that this generalization will be useful in further investigations of nuclear shells modeling elementary particle interactions when the particles are clustered together.     

On relations between 1-lines of Adams–Novikov spectral sequences modulo invariant prime ideals

We have a ring homomorphism Θ from the cohomology of the extended Morava stabilizer group G_n with coefficients in F[w^±1] to the cohomology of G_n+1 with coefficients in the graded field F((u_n))[u^±1]. In this note we study the behavior of Θ on H¹. Then it is shown that Θ is injective on H¹ for n1 and for all primes p.
