The mountain pass method in the problem on a nontrivial solution of a quasilinear equation with a parameter in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis></Superscript>

In the present paper, we consider a quasilinear elliptic equation in ℝ ^N with a parameter whose values lie in a neighborhood of an eigenvalue of the linear problem. To prove the existence of a nontrivial solution, we use a modification of the conditional mountain pass method. The difficulties related to the lack of compactness of the Sobolev operator in the case of an unbounded domain are eliminated with the use of the Lions concentration-compactness method.     

A rearrangement formula for a singular Cauchy-Szegö integral in a ball from ℂ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

We obtain an analog of the Poincaré-Bertrand formula for a singular Cauchy-Szegö integral in a multidimensional ball. We understand the principal value of the integral in the Cauchy sense. The obtained formula differs from that of Poincaré-Bertrand for the Cauchy integral in a complex plane.     

On a Sharper Lower Bound for a Percentile of a Student’s <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis> Distribution with an Application

In this communication, we first compare z _α and t _ν,α , the upper 100α% points of a standard normal and a Student’s t _ν distributions respectively. We begin with a proof of a well-known result, namely, for every fixed 0 < a < \frac120<\alpha <\frac{1}{2} and the degree of freedom ν, one has t _ν,α  > z _α . Next, Theorem 3.1 provides a new and explicit expression b _ν ( > 1) such that for every fixed 0 < a < \frac120<\alpha < \frac{1}{2} and ν, we can conclude t _ν,α  > b _ν z _α . This is clearly a significant improvement over the result that is customarily quoted in nearly every textbook and elsewhere. A proof of Theorem 3.1 is surprisingly simple and pretty. We also extend Theorem 3.1 in the case of a non-central Student’s t distribution (Section 3.3). In the context of Stein’s (Ann Math Stat 16:243–258, 1945; Econometrica 17:77–78, 1949) 100(1 − α)% fixed-width confidence intervals for the mean of a normal distribution having an unknown variance, we have examined the oversampling rate on an average for a variety of choices of m, the pilot sample size. We ran simulations to investigate this issue. We have found that the oversampling rates are approximated well by t_n,a/2²z_a/2^-2t_{\nu ,\alpha /2}^{2}z_{\alpha /2}^{-2} for small and moderate values of m( ≤ 50) all across Table 2 where ν = m − 1. However, when m is chosen large (≥ 100), we find from Table 3 that the oversampling rates are not approximated by t_n,a/2²z_a/2^-2t_{\nu ,\alpha /2}^{2}z_{\alpha /2}^{-2} very well anymore in some cases, and in those cases the oversampling rates either exceed the new lower bound of t_n,a/2²z_a/2^-2,t_{\nu ,\alpha /2}^{2}z_{\alpha /2}^{-2}, namely b_n²,b_{\nu }^{2}, or comes incredibly close to b_n²b_{\nu }^{2} where ν = m − 1. That is, the new lower bound for a percentile of a Student’s t distribution may play an important role in order to come up with diagnostics in our understanding of simulated output under Stein’s fixed-width confidence interval method.

Does a ‘volume‐filling effect’ always prevent chemotactic collapse?

The parabolic–parabolic Keller–Segel system for chemotaxis phenomena, is considered under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain Ω??ⁿ with n?2. It is proved that if ψ(u)/?(u) grows faster than u^2/n as u→∞ and some further technical conditions are fulfilled, then there exist solutions that blow up in either finite or infinite time. Here, the total mass ∫_Ωu(x, t)dx may attain arbitrarily small positive values. In particular, in the framework of chemotaxis models incorporating a volume‐filling effect in the sense of Painter and Hillen (Can. Appl. Math. Q. 2002; 10 (4):501–543), the results indicate how strongly the cellular movement must be inhibited at large cell densities in order to rule out chemotactic collapse.

Convergence of ray sequences of Padé approximants for 2 f 1(a, 1; c; z), (c > a > 0)

The Padé table of ₂ F ₁(a, 1; c; z) is normal for c > a > 0 (cf. [4]). For m ≥ n - 1 and c ? Z^-, the denominator polynomial Q _mn (z) in the [m/n] Padé approximant P _mn (z)/Q _mn (z) for ₂ F ₁(a, 1; c; z) and the remainder term Q _mn (z)₂ F ₁(a, 1; c; z)-P_mn (z) were explicitly evaluated by Padé (cf. [2], [6] or [9]). We show that for c > a > 0 and m ≥ n - 1, the poles of P_mn (z)/Q_mn (z) lie on the cut (1,∞). We deduce that the sequence of approximants P_mn (z)/Q_mn (z) converges to ₂ F ₁(a, 1; c; z) as m → ∞, n/m → ρ with 0 < ρ ≤ 1, uniformly on compact subsets of the unit disc |z| < 1 for c > a > 0.     

Bionomic exploitation of a ratio-dependent predator–prey system

The present article deals with the problem of combined harvesting of a Michaelis–Menten-type ratio-dependent predator–prey system. The problem of determining the optimal harvest policy is solved by invoking Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. Dynamic optimization of the harvest policy is studied by taking the combined harvest effort as a dynamic variable. Computer simulations are carried out to illustrate our analytical findings. Biological and bioeconomical interpretations of the results are explained critically.     

Seas of squares with sizes from a Π<Stack><Subscript>1</Subscript><Superscript>0</Superscript></Stack> set

A family of sets is union-free if there are no three distinct sets in the family such that the union of two of the sets is equal to the third set. Kleitman proved that every union-free family has size at most (1+o(1))( _n/2 ⁿ ). Later, Burosch–Demetrovics–Katona–Kleitman–Sapozhenko asked for the number α(n) of such families, and they proved that \({2^{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n \\ {n/2} \end{array}} \right)}} \leqslant \alpha \left( n \right) \leqslant {2^{2\sqrt 2 \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n \\ {n/2} \end{array}} \right)\left( {1 + o\left( 1 \right)} \right)}}\) They conjectured that the constant \(2\sqrt 2 \) can be removed in the exponent of the right-hand side. We prove their conjecture by formulating a new container-type theorem for rooted hypergraphs.

We investigate the bifurcating solutions at a Hopf–Hopf interaction point with an internal 1 : 3 resonance. It turns out, that the transitions from single to mixed modes can be described by Duffing or Mathieu szenarios. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

We consider an optimal boundary control of a string with free end by a displacement of the other end in W′ _p (Q, T). For p ≠ 2, we prove that the optimal control depends on the initial and terminal conditions nonlinearly.     

Pinning a Line by Balls or Ovaloids in ℝ<Superscript>3</Superscript>

We show that if a line ℓ is an isolated line transversal to a finite family F\mathcal{F} of (possibly intersecting) balls in ℝ³ and no two balls are externally tangent on ℓ, then there is a subfamily G í F\mathcal{G}\subseteq\mathcal{F} of size at most 12 such that ℓ is an isolated line transversal to G\mathcal{G}. We generalize this result to families of semialgebraic ovaloids.

Eigenvalue dynamics of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">PT</Emphasis>-symmetric Sturm–Liouville operator and criteria for similarity to a self-adjoint or a normal operator

The dynamics of the eigenvalues of a family of Sturm–Liouville operators with complex integrable PT-symmetric potential on a finite interval is studied. In the model case of the complex Airy operator, a criterion for the similarity of operators in the family to self-adjoint and normal operators is stated and the exceptional parameter values corresponding to multiple eigenvalues are analytically calculated.     

Moving Object in ℝ<Superscript>2</Superscript> and a Group of Observers

We formulate an extremal problem of constructing a trajectory of a moving object that is farthest from a group of observers with fixed visibility cones. Under some constraints on the arrangement of the observers, we give a characterization and a method of construction of an optimal trajectory.

A subgroup H of a group G is called µ-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K such that G = HK and H ₁ K is a proper subgroup in G for every maximal subgroup H ₁ in H. For the initial values of p, we establish the p-supersolubility of a finite group with a μ-supplemented Sylow p-subgroup.

On a space of smooth functions on a convex unbounded set in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript> admitting holomorphic extension in ℂ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

For some given logarithmically convex sequence M of positive numbers we construct a subspace of the space of rapidly decreasing infinitely differentiable functions on an unbounded closed convex set in ? ⁿ . Due to the conditions on M each function of this space admits a holomorphic extension in ? ⁿ . In the current article, the space of holomorphic extensions is considered and Paley-Wiener type theorems are established. To prove these theorems, some auxiliary results on extensions of holomorphic functions satisfying some weighted L ²-bounds in a domain of holomorphy in ? ⁿ are obtained with the aid of L. Hörmander’s method of L ²-bounds for the \(\bar \partial\) operator. Also, some new facts on the Fourier-Laplace transform of tempered distributions complementing some well-known results of V.S. Vladimirov are employed.
