Eigenvalues of Fourth-order Singular Sturm-Liouville Boundary Value Problems

In this paper, by using Krasnoselskii''s fixed-point theorem, some sufficient conditions of existence of positive solutions for the following fourth-order nonlinear Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem:\begin{equation*}\left\{\begin{array}{lll} \frac{1}{p(t)}(p(t)u'')''(t)+ \lambda f(t,u)=0, t\in(0,1), \\ u(0)=u(1)=0, \\ \alpha u''(0)- \beta \lim_{t \rightarrow 0^{+}} p(t)u''(t)=0, \\ \gamma u''(1)+\delta\lim_{t \rightarrow 1^{-}} p(t)u''(t)=0, \end{array}\right.\end{equation*} are established, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta \geq 0,$ and $~\beta\gamma+\alpha\gamma+\alpha\delta >0$. The function $p$ may be singular at $t=0$ or $1$, and $f$ satisfies Carath\''{e}odory condition.

[When , (the Riemann zeta function), and .] We present a new approach to high-precision approximation of . Plots of our results reveal much structure in the growth of the generalized Euler constants. Our results when for , and when for (for such as 53/100, 1/2, etc.) suggest that published bounds on the growth of the Stieltjes constants can be much improved, and lead to several conjectures. Defining , we conjecture that is attained: for any given , for some (and similarly that, given and , is within of for infinitely many ). In addition we conjecture that satisfies for 1$">.

Using this to define for all real 0$">, we conjecture that for nonintegral , is precisely times the -th (Weyl) fractional derivative at of the entire function . We also conjecture that , now defined for all real arguments 0$">, is smooth. Our numerical method uses Newton-Cotes integration formulae for very high-degree interpolating polynomials; it differs in implementation from, but compares in error bounding to, Euler-Maclaurin summation based methods.

On the Positivity of Scattering Operators for Poincaré-Einstein Manifolds

In this paper, we mainly study the scattering operators for a Poincaré-Einstein manifold $(X^{n+1}, g_+)$, which define the fractional GJMS operators $P_{2\gamma}$ of order $2\gamma$ for $0<\gamma<\frac{n}{2}$ for the conformal infinity $(M, [g])$. We generalise Guillarmou-Qing's positivity results in [8] to the higher order case. Namely, if $(X^{n+1}, g_+)$ $(n\geq 5)$ is a hyperbolic Poincaré-Einstein manifold and there exists a smooth representative $g$ for the conformal infinity such that the scalar curvature $R_g$ is a positive constant and $Q_4$ is semi-positive on $(M, g)$, then $P_{2\gamma}$ is positive for $\gamma\in [1,2]$ and the first real scattering pole is less than $\frac{n}{2}-2$.     

ON THE PROBLEM OF BEST CONVERGENCE RATES OF DENSITY ESTIMATES

Let X_1,…,X_n be iid samples drawn from an m-dimensional population with a probabilitydensity f,belonging to the family C_(ka),i.e.the family of all densities whose partialderivatives of order k are bounded by a.It is desired to estimate the value of f at somepredetermined point a,for example a=0.Farrell obtained some results concerning the bestpossible convergence rates for all estimator sequence,from which it follows,for example,thatthere exists no estimator sequence{γ_n(0)=γ_n(X_1,…,X_n,0)}such that(?)E_f[γ_n(0)-f(0)]~2=o(n~(-2k/(2k m))).This article pursues this problem further and proves that there existsno estimator sequence{γ_n(0)}such thatn~(-k/(2k m))(γ_n(0)-f(0))(?)0,for each f∈C_(ka),where(?)denotes convergence in probability.

A result concerning an exact asymptotics for the probability $P\{ \int\limits_0^1 {|\zeta _\gamma (t)|^p dt \leqslant \varepsilon ^p } \} ,\varepsilon \to 0$ , where p ≥ 2, is proved for a nonstationary Gaussian Markov process ζ _γ (t) of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck with zero mean and the covariance function $E\zeta _\gamma (t)\zeta _\gamma (s) = \tfrac{1}{{2\gamma }}[e^{ - \gamma |t - s|} - e^{ - \gamma |t + s|} ]$ , s, t ≥ 0, where γ > 0 is a parameter.

On the Distance to the Closest Matrix with Triple Zero Eigenvalue

The 2-norm distance from a matrix A to the set ${\mathcal{M}}$ of n × n matrices with a zero eigenvalue of multiplicity ≥3 is estimated. If $$Q(\gamma _1 ,\gamma _2 ,\gamma _3 ) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} A &amp; {\gamma _1 I_n } &amp; {\gamma _3 I_n } \\ 0 &amp; A &amp; {\gamma _2 I_n } \\ 0 &amp; 0 &amp; A \\ \end{array} } \right), n \geqslant 3,$$ then $$\rho _2 (A,{\mathcal{M}}) \geqslant {\mathop {max}\limits_{\gamma _1 ,\gamma _2 \geqslant 0,\gamma _3 \in {\mathbb{C}}}} \sigma _{3n - 2} (Q(\gamma _1 ,\gamma _2 ,\gamma _3 )),$$ where σⁱ(·)is the ith singular value of the corresponding matrix in the decreasing order of singular values. Moreover, if the maximum on the right-hand side is attained at the point $\gamma ^ * = (\gamma _1^ * ,\gamma _2^ * ,\gamma _3^ * )$ , where $\gamma _1^ * \gamma _2^ * \ne 0$ , then, in fact, one has the exact equality $$\rho _2 (A,{\mathcal{M}}) = \sigma _{3n - 2} (Q(\gamma _1^ * ,\gamma _2^ * ,\gamma _3^ * )).$$ This result can be regarded as an extension of Malyshev's formula, which gives the 2-norm distance from A to the set of matrices with a multiple zero eigenvalue.     

An Existence Result for a Class of Chemically Reacting Systems with Sign-Changing Weights

We prove the existence of positive solutions for the system$$\begin{align*}\begin{cases}-\Delta_{p} u =\lambda a(x){f(v)}{u^{-\alpha}},\qquad x\in \Omega,\\-\Delta_{q} v = \lambda b(x){g(u)}{v^{-\beta}},\qquad x\in \Omega,\\u = v =0, \qquad x\in\partial \Omega,\end{cases}\end{align*}$$where $\Delta_{r}z={\rm div}(|\nabla z|^{r-2}\nabla z)$, for $r>1$ denotes the r-Laplacian operator and $\lambda$ is a positive parameter, $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq1$ with sufficiently smooth boundary and $\alpha, \beta \in (0,1).$ Here $ a(x)$ and $ b(x)$ are $C^{1}$ sign-changingfunctions that maybe negative near the boundary and $f,g $ are $C^{1}$ nondecreasing functions, such that $f, g :\ [0,\infty)\to [0,\infty);$ $f(s)>0,$ $g(s)>0$ for $s> 0$, $\lim_{s\to\infty}g(s)=\infty$ and$$\lim_{s\to\infty}\frac{f(Mg(s)^{\frac{1}{q-1}})}{s^{p-1+\alpha}}=0,\qquad \forall M>0.$$We discuss the existence of positive weak solutions when $f$, $g$, $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ satisfy certain additional conditions. We employ the method of sub-supersolution to obtain our results.
