Modulus‐based synchronous multisplitting methods for solving horizontal linear complementarity problems on parallel computers

In this article, we generalize modulus‐based synchronous multisplitting methods to horizontal linear complementarity problems. In particular, first we define the methods of our concern and prove their convergence under suitable smoothness assumptions. Particular attention is devoted also to modulus‐based multisplitting accelerated overrelaxation methods. Then, as multisplitting methods are well‐suited for parallel computations, we analyze the parallel behavior of the proposed procedures. In particular, we do so by solving various test problems by a parallel implementation of our multisplitting methods. In this context, we carry out parallel computations on GPU with CUDA.     

A review of open queueing network models of manufacturing systems

In this paper we review open queueing network models of manufacturing systems. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part we discuss design and planning problems arising in manufacturing. In doing so we focus on those problems that are best addressed by queueing network models. In the second part of the paper we describe developments in queueing network methodology. We are primarily concerned with features such as general service times, deterministic product routings, and machine failures — features that are prevalent in manufacturing settings. Since these features have eluded exact analysis, approximation procedures have been proposed. In the second part of this paper we review the developments in approximation procedures and highlight the assumptions that underlie these approaches.     

Summatory Functions of Digital Sums Occurring in Cryptography

Morain and Olivos gave two algorithms that allow fast exponentiation in elliptic curve cryptosystems. These algorithms are based on representations of integers in certain redundant binary number systems. In this paper we consider the weight and the sum of digits function of these representations. In particular, we give formulas for their summatory functions. In the proofs we use the Mellin-Perron formula. In order to apply this formula, we have to compute the analytic continuation of a class of Dirichlet series.     

A quasilinear Neumann problem with discontinuous nonlinearity

In this paper we study a quasilinear boundary value problem of Neumann type with discontinuous terms. In particular we consider a problem in which the p–Laplacian is involved. In order to prove the existence of solutions we replace this problem with a multivalued approximation of it and, using a variational approach for locally Lipschitz functionals, we prove two existence results for it.

Zeta Functions and Monodromy for Surfaces that are General for a Toric Idealistic Cluster

In this article, we consider surfaces that are general withrespect to a three-dimensional toric idealistic cluster. Inparticular, this means that blowing up a toric constellationprovides an embedded resolution of singularities for these surfaces.First we give a formula for the topological zeta function directlyin terms of the cluster. Then we study the eigenvalues of monodromy.In particular, we derive a useful criterion to be an eigenvalue.In a third part, we prove the monodromy and the holomorphy conjecturefor these surfaces.     

Quasilinear elliptic problems under strong resonance conditions

In this paper we establish the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a quasilinear elliptic problem under strong resonance conditions at infinity. In order to control the resonance we consider a new hypothesis on the nonlinear term. In all results we use Variational Methods, Critical Groups and the Morse Theory.     

Synthesis of fixed-order compensators

In classical design, a low-order compensator is applied to a given plant. In this paper, we present an algebric construction of low (or fixed)-order compensators. Using the theory of root clustering, we achieve the following design requirements: closed-loop relative stability, relative stable compensators, and compensator's zero inclusion. In addition, we present a general robust analysis for real parameters. To reduce the computational difficulties, we suggest the use of low-order compensators.     

Lower Bounds for the Eigenvalues of the Dirac Operator: Part II. The Submanifold Dirac Operator

In this paper we generalize the results of Part I to the submanifoldDirac operator. In particular, we give optimal lower bounds for thesubmanifold Dirac operator in terms of the mean curvature and othergeometric invariants as the Yamabe number or the energy-momentum tensor.In the limiting case, we prove that the submanifold is Einstein if thenormal bundle is flat.     

On the long time behavior of non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra models with diffusion via the sub-supertrajectory method

In this paper we study in detail the geometrical structure of global pullback and forwards attractors associated to non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra systems in all the three cases of competition, symbiosis or prey-predator. In particular, under some conditions on the parameters, we prove the existence of a unique nondegenerate global solution for these models, which attracts any other complete bounded trajectory. Thus, we generalize the existence of a unique strictly positive stable (stationary) solution from the autonomous case and we extend to Lotka-Volterra systems the result for scalar logistic equations. To this end we present the sub-supertrajectory tool as a generalization of the now classical sub-supersolution method. In particular, we also conclude pullback and forwards permanence for the above models.     

On Gliding Hump Properties of Matrix Domains

In this note, we establish several results concerning the gliding hump properties of matrix domains. In order to discuss F-WGHP, we introduce the UAK-property and find that this sort of property has close relationship with F-WGHP. In the course of discussing F-WGHP and WGHP of （C0）cn, we discuss the F-WGHP and WGHP of the almost-null sequence space f0.     

Differentialgleichungen in Jordantripelsystemen

In the first section we summarize some properties of Jordan triples. Then we state some rules about differential calculus of rational functions. In the second section we generalize results about norms and traces of Jordan algebras. In the next section we define a group of birational functions belonging to a Jordan triple and characterize this group by differential equations. A special form of these differential equations was given by M. Koecher (see [3], page 44, Theorem 2.1.). In the last section we give some examples. In particular one obtains the exceptional group E₆ as a homomorphic image of a transformation group.     

Archimedean copulae and positive dependence

In this paper, we consider different issues related to Archimedean copulae and positive dependence. In the first part, we characterize Archimedean copulae that possess positive dependence properties such as multivariate total positivity of order 2 (MTP₂) and conditionally increasingness in sequence. In the second part, we investigate conditions for exchangeable binary sequences to admit an Archimedean copula, and we show that they depend on the extendibility of the sequence, and therefore on its positive-dependence properties.     

Stochastic flows of SDEs with irregular coefficients and stochastic transport equations

In this article we study (possibly degenerate) stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with irregular (or discontinuous) coefficients, and prove that under certain conditions on the coefficients, there exists a unique almost everywhere stochastic (invertible) flow associated with the SDE in the sense of Lebesgue measure. In the case of constant diffusions and BV drifts, we obtain such a result by studying the related stochastic transport equation. In the case of non-constant diffusions and Sobolev drifts, we use a direct method. In particular, we extend the recent results on ODEs with non-smooth vector fields to SDEs.     

Cache Oblivious Algorithms for the RMQ and the RMSQ Problems

In the Range Minimum/Maximum Query (RMQ) and Range Maximum-Sum Segment Query (RMSQ) problems, we are given an array which we can preprocess in order to answer subsequent queries. In the RMQ query, we are given a range on the array and we need to find the maximum/minimum element within that range. On the other hand, in RMSQ query, we need to return the segment within the given query range that gives the maximum sum. In this paper, we present cache oblivious optimal algorithms for both of the above problems. In particular, for both the problems, we have presented linear time data structures having optimal cache miss. The data structures can answer the corresponding queries in constant time with constant cache miss.     

Weak almost periodic motions,minimality and stability in impulsive semidynamical systems

In this paper, we study topological properties of semidynamical systems whose continuous dynamics are interrupted by abrupt changes of state. First, we establish results which relate various concepts as stability of Lyapunov, weakly almost periodic motions, recurrence and minimality. In the sequel, we study the stability of Zhukovskij for impulsive systems and we obtain some results about uniform attractors.

There are three parts in this article. In Section 1, we establish the model of branching chain with drift in space-time random environment （BCDSTRE）, i.e., the coupling of branching chain and random walk. In Section 2, we prove that any BCDSTRE must be a Markov chain in time random environment when we consider the distribution of the particles in space as a random element. In Section 3, we calculate the first-order moments and the second-order moments of BCDSTRE.

Utility maximization problem with random endowment and transaction costs: when wealth may become negative

In this article, we study the problem of maximizing expected utility from the terminal wealth with proportional transaction costs and random endowment. In the context of the existence of consistent price systems, we consider the duality between the primal utility maximization problem and the dual one, which is set up on the domain of finitely additive measures. In particular, we prove duality results for utility functions supporting possibly negative values. Moreover, we construct a shadow market by the dual optimal process and consider the utility-based pricing for random endowment.     

Existence and asymptotic properties of aerotaxis model with the Fokker–Planck type diffusion

In this paper, we consider Fokker–Planck type diffusion aerotaxis equations which resemble the usual aerotaxis equations. In view of well-posedness, its own special diffusion structure enables us to take advantage. In two dimensions, we show the existence of global classical solutions under some appropriate conditions. In addition, the stabilization property of the solution is studied, as time approaches infinity. In three dimensions, we prove the existence of global weak solutions.
