On Lyapunov-type inequality for quasilinear systems

In this paper, we sketch some recent developments in the theory of Lyapunov-type inequalities and present some new results relating to a quasilinear system, special cases of which contain some well-known differential equations such as half-linear and linear equations. Our result generalize the Lyapunov-type inequality given in [18].

A note on Hardy’s inequalities with boundary singularities

Let Ω be a smooth bounded domain in R^N with N≥1. In this paper we study the Hardy-Poincaré inequalities with weight function singular at the boundary of Ω. In particular we give sufficient conditions so that the best constant is achieved.

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of solutions of quasi-equilibrium problems without any generalized monotonicity assumption. Additionally, we give some applications.     

A note on the Hoffman-Wielandt theorem for generalized eigenvalue problems

Let {A, B} and {C, D} be diagonalizable pairs of order n, i.e., there exist invertible matrices P, Q and X, Ysuchthat A = P∧Q, B = PΩQ, C =XГY, D= X△Y, where
∧ = diag（α1, α2, …, αn）, Ω= diag（βl, β2, …βn）,
Г=diag（γ1,γ2,…,γn）, △=diag（δl,δ2,…,δn）.
Let ρ（（α,β）, （γ,δ））=｜αδ-βγ｜/√｜α｜^2＋｜β｜^2√｜γ｜^2＋｜δ｜^2.In this paper, it will be proved that there is a permutation τ of {1,2,... ,n} such that
n∑i=1[ρ（（αi,βi）,（γτ（i）,δτ（i）））]^2≤n[1-1/κ^2（Y）κ^2（Q）（1-d2F（Z,W）/n）],
where κ（Y） = ｜｜Y｜｜2｜｜Y^-1｜｜2,Z= （A,B）,W= （C, D） and dF（Z,W） = 1/√2｜｜Pz＊ -Pw＊｜｜F.     

A NOTE ON THE BACKWARD ERRORS FOR INVERSE EIGENVALUE PROBLEMS

In this note,we consider the backward errors for more general inverse eigenvalus prob-lems by extending Sun‘‘‘‘s approach.The optimal backward errors defined for diagonal-ization matrix inverse eigenvalue problem with respect to an approximate solution,and the upper and lower bounds are derived for the optimal backward errors.The results may be useful for testing the stability of practical algorithms.     

A note on the perturbation analysis for the generalized Cholesky factorization

In this note, we consider the perturbation analysis for the generalized Cholesky factorization further. The conditions for the main theorems of the paper [W.-G. Wang, J.-X. Zhao, Perturbation analysis for the generalized Cholesky factorization, Appl. Math. Comput. 147 (2004) 601-606] are weakened by using an alternative method. Moreover, some new perturbation bounds are also derived.     

A note on “Some inequalities in inner product spaces related to the generalized triangle inequality” by S.S. Dragomir et al.

In this note, we present an affirmative answer to a question presented in the paper “Some inequalities in inner product spaces related to the generalized triangle inequality” by S.S. Dragomir et al. [Appl. Math. Comput. 217 (18) (2011) 7462-7468].     

A note on Turán type and mean inequalities for the Kummer function

Turán-type inequalities for combinations of Kummer functions involving Φ(a±ν,c±ν,x) and Φ(a,c±ν,x) have been recently investigated in [Á. Baricz, Functional inequalities involving Bessel and modified Bessel functions of the first kind, Expo. Math. 26 (3) (2008) 279-293; M.E.H. Ismail, A. Laforgia, Monotonicity properties of determinants of special functions, Constr. Approx. 26 (2007) 1-9]. In the current paper, we resolve the corresponding Turán-type and closely related mean inequalities for the additional case involving Φ(a±ν,c,x). The application to modeling credit risk is also summarized.     

Note on Shim and Kim’s lower bounds for scheduling on identical parallel machines to minimize total tardiness

This note introduces a new lower bound for the problem of scheduling on parallel identical machines to minimize total tardiness that is based on the concepts used in the two lower bounds developed by Shim and Kim [Shim, S.O., Kim, Y.D., 2007. Scheduling on parallel identical machines to minimize total tardiness. European Journal of Operational Research 177, 135–146]. The note shows that the new lower bound dominates the three lower bounds used in Shim and Kim’s branch-and-bound algorithm and can be used in place of these lower bounds to lower the enumeration required.     

A note on Hardy-type inequalities

We use a theorem of Cartlidge and the technique of Redheffer's ``recurrent inequalities" to give some results on inequalities related to Hardy's inequality.

     

A note on the fractional-order Volta’s system

This paper deals with the fractional-order Volta’s system. It is based on the concept of chaotic system, where the mathematical model of system contains fractional order derivatives. This system has simple structure and can display a double-scroll attractor. The behavior and stability analysis of the integer-order and the fractional commensurate and non-commensurate order Volta’s system with total order less than 3 which exhibits chaos are presented as well.

A note on Chrystal’s equation

The exact, explicit form of the transcendental solution of Chrystal’s equation, a first order nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) of degree two, is derived in terms of the Lambert W-function. It is shown that this case of the general solution is dual-valued over a finite interval and that, for a special case of the coefficients, its zeros involve the Golden ratio. Additionally, a number of applications involving special cases of this ODE are noted and the main properties of the Lambert W-function are briefly reviewed.     

A note on Inverse Iteration

Inverse iteration, if applied to a symmetric positive definite matrix, is shown to generate a sequence of iterates with monotonously decreasing Rayleigh quotients. We present sharp bounds from above and from below which highlight inverse iteration as a descent scheme for the Rayleigh quotient. Such estimates provide the background for the analysis of the behaviour of the Rayleigh quotient in certain approximate variants of inverse iteration. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
