Oscillation theorems for second-order nonlinear delay difference equations

By means of Riccati transformation technique, we establish some new oscillation criteria for second-order nonlinear delay difference equation $$\Delta (p_n (\Delta x_n )^\gamma ) + q_n f(x_{n - \sigma } ) = 0,\;\;\;\;n = 0,1,2,...,$$ when $\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\left( {\frac{1}{{Pn}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{\gamma }} = \infty }$ . When $\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\left( {\frac{1}{{Pn}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{\gamma }} < \infty }$ we present some sufficient conditions which guarantee that, every solution oscillates or converges to zero. When $\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\left( {\frac{1}{{Pn}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{\gamma }} = \infty }$ holds, our results do not require the nonlinearity to be nondecreasing and are thus applicable to new classes of equations to which most previously known results are not.     

Solvability of the Dirichlet problem for degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations

In a bounded domain of the n -dimensional (n?2) space one considers a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations, whose model is the equation $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {\frac{{\partial F}}{{\partial x_i }}} (a^{\ell _i } (u)\left| {u_{x_i } } \right|^{m_i - 2} u_{x_i } ) = f(x),$$ where x =(x₁,..., x_r), l_i?0, m_i>1, the function f is summable with some power, the nonnegative continuous function a(u) vanishes at a finite number of points and satisfies \(\frac{{lim}}{{\left| u \right| \to \infty }}a(u) > 0\) . One proves the existence of bounded generalized solutions with a finite integral $$\int\limits_\Omega {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {a^{\ell _i } (u)\left| {u_{x_i } } \right|^{m_i } dx} }$$ of the Dirichlet problem with zero boundary conditions.

A Theorem of Hardy-Bennett-Type

Recently G. Bennett described a new way of looking at classical inequalities. His method is a certain "factorization" of inequalities. The new results provide the best possible version of several well-known inequalities. We generalize one of Bennett's theorems which is the factorized restatement and generalization of the following classical Hardy inequality: $$\sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\left( {\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {\left| {x_k } \right|} } \right)^p < \left( {\frac{p}{{p - 1}}} \right)^p \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\left| {x_n } \right|} ^p }$$ , which holds for any p > 1.     

Асимптотические рав енства для интеграло в от модуля суммы кратн ого ряда из синусов

Assume that the coefficients of the series $$\mathop \sum \limits_{k \in N^m } a_k \mathop \Pi \limits_{i = 1}^m \sin k_i x_i $$ satisfy the following conditions: a) a_k → 0 for k₁ + k₂ + ...+k_m →∞, b) \(\delta _{B,G}^M (a) = \mathop {\mathop \sum \limits_{k_i = 1}^\infty }\limits_{i \in B} \mathop {\mathop \sum \limits_{k_j = 2}^\infty }\limits_{j \in G} \mathop {\mathop \sum \limits_{k_v = 0}^\infty }\limits_{v \in M\backslash (B \cup G)} \mathop \Pi \limits_{i \in B} \frac{1}{{k_i }}|\mathop \sum \limits_{I_j = 1}^{[k_j /2]} (\nabla _{l_G }^G (\Delta _1^{M\backslash B} a_k ))\mathop \Pi \limits_{j \in G} l_j^{ - 1} |< \infty ,\) for ∨B?M, ∨G?M,B∩G, where M={1,2, ...,m}, $$\begin{gathered} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Delta _1^j a_k = a_k - a_{k_{M\backslash \{ j\} } ,k_{j + 1} } ,\Delta _1^B a_k = \Delta _1^{B\backslash \{ j\} } (\Delta _1^j a_k ), \hfill \\ \Delta _{l_j }^j a_k = a_{k_{M\backslash \{ j\} } ,k_j - l_j } - a_{k_{M\backslash \{ j\} } ,k_j + l_j } ,\nabla _{l_G }^G a_k = \nabla _{l_{G\backslash \{ j\} } }^{G\backslash \{ j\} } (\nabla _{l_j }^j a_k ). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Then for all n∈N^m the following asymptotic equation is valid: $$\mathop \smallint \limits_{{\rm T}_{\pi /(2n + 1)}^m } |\mathop \sum \limits_{k \in N^m } a_k \mathop \Pi \limits_{i \in M} \sin k_i x_i |dx = \mathop \sum \limits_{k = 1}^n \left| {a_k } \right|\mathop \Pi \limits_{i \in M} k^{ - 1} + O(\mathop {\mathop \sum \limits_{B,{\mathbf{ }}G \subset M} }\limits_{B \ne M} \delta _{B,G}^M (a)).$$ Here \(T_{\pi /(2n + 1)}^m = \left\{ {x = (x1,x2,...,xm):\pi /(2n + 1) \leqq xi \leqq \pi ;i = \overline {1,m} } \right\}\) . In the one-dimensional case such an equation was proved by S. A. Teljakovskii.     

General maximal inequalities related to the strong law of large numbers

For any sequence (ξ _n ) of random variables, we obtain maximal inequalities from which we can derive conditions for the a.s. convergence to zero of the normalized differences $$\frac{1}{{2^n }}\left( {\mathop {\max }\limits_{2^n \leqslant k < 2^{n + 1} } \left| {\sum\limits_{i = 2^n }^k {\xi _i } } \right| - \left| {\sum\limits_{i = 2^n }^{2^{n + 1} - 1} {\xi _i } } \right|} \right).$$ The convergence to zero of this sequence leads to the strong law of large numbers (SLLN). In the special case of quasistationary sequences, we obtain a sufficient condition for the SLLN; this condition is an improvement on the well-known Móricz conditions.

On the normalizing multiplier of the generalized Jackson kernel

Asymptotic properties for the loglog laws under positive association

Theory of nonstationary flows of Kelvin-Voigt fluids

Strongly nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations with discontinuous coefficients. I

This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of variational solutions of the strongly nonlinear equation $$ - \sum\limits_1^m {_i \frac{\partial }{{\partial x_i }}\left( {\sum\limits_1^m {_j a_{i,j} (x, u(x))\frac{{\partial u(x)}}{{\partial x_j }}} } \right) + g(x, u(x)) = f(x)} $$ with the coefficients a _i,j (x, s) satisfying an eHipticity degenerate condition and hypotheses weaker than the continuity with respect to the variable s. Furthermore, we establish a condition on f under which the solution is bounded in a bounded open subset Ω of R^m.

Congruences involving the Fermat quotient

Let p > 3 be a prime, and let q _p (2) = (2 ^p?1 ? 1)/p be the Fermat quotient of p to base 2. In this note we prove that $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {\frac{1}{{k \cdot {2^k}}}} \equiv {q_p}(2) - \frac{{p{q_p}{{(2)}^2}}}{2} + \frac{{{p^2}{q_p}{{(2)}^3}}}{3} - \frac{7}{{48}}{p^2}{B_{p - 3}}(\bmod {p^3})$$ , which is a generalization of a congruence due to Z.H. Sun. Our proof is based on certain combinatorial identities and congruences for some alternating harmonic sums. Combining the above congruence with two congruences by Z.H. Sun, we show that $${q_p}{(2)^3} \equiv - 3\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {\frac{{{2^k}}}{{{k^3}}}} + \frac{7}{{16}}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{(p - 1)/2} {\frac{1}{{{k^3}}}} (\bmod p)$$ , which is just a result established by K. Dilcher and L. Skula. As another application, we obtain a congruence for the sum $\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\left( {k^2 \cdot 2^k } \right)}}} \right. \kern-0em} {\left( {k^2 \cdot 2^k } \right)}}}$ modulo p ² that also generalizes a related Sun’s congruence modulo p.     

Two families of approximations for the gamma function

In this paper, we establish two families of approximations for the gamma function: $$ \begin{array}{lll} {\varGamma}(x+1)&=\sqrt{2\pi x}{\left({\frac{x+a}{{\mathrm{e}}}}\right)}^x {\left({\frac{x+a}{x-a}}\right)}^{-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{4}} {\left({\frac{x+b}{x-b}}\right)}^{\sum\limits_{k=0}^m\frac{{\beta}_k}{x^{2k}}+O{{\left(\frac{1}{x^{2m+2}}\right)}}},\\ {\varGamma}(x+1)&=\sqrt{2\pi x}\cdot(x+a)^{\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{4}}(x-a)^{\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{4}} {\left({\frac{x-1}{x+1}}\right)}^{\frac{x^2}{2}}\\ &\quad\times {\left({\frac{x-c}{x+c}}\right)}^{\sum\limits_{k=0}^m\frac{{\gamma}_k}{x^{2k}}+O{\left({\frac{1}{x^{2m+2}}}\right)}}, \end{array}$$ where the constants ${\beta }_k$ and ${\gamma }_k$ can be determined by recurrences, and $a$ , $b$ , $c$ are parameters. Numerical comparison shows that our results are more accurate than Stieltjes, Luschny and Nemes’ formulae, which, to our knowledge, are better than other approximations in the literature.     

Series representations for γ and other mathematical constants

We present series representations for some mathematical constants, like γ, π, log 2, ζ(3). In particular, we prove that the following representation for Euler’s constant is valid: $$ \gamma = \sum\limits_{r = 1}^\infty {\sum\limits_{s = 1}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right)( - 1)^{r - s} 2^s \left( {\frac{1} {s} + \log \frac{s} {{s + 1}}} \right)} } . $$
