Different interpretations of the improper integral objective in an infinite horizon control problem

We provide an example of a convex infinite horizon problem with a linear objective functional where the different interpretations of the improper integral in either Lebesgue or Riemann sense lead to different but finite optimal values.     

The upper and lower second order directional derivatives of a sup-type function

The purpose of this paper is to give a formula for expressing the second order directional derivatives of the sup-type functionS(x) = sup{f(x, t); t T} in terms of the first and second derivatives off(x, t), whereT is a compact set in a metric space and we assume thatf, f/x and ² f/x ² are continuous on ⁿ × T. We will give a geometrical meaning of the formula. We will moreover give a sufficient condition forS(x) to be directionally twice differentiable.     

The construction of operational matrix of fractional derivatives using B-spline functions

Fractional calculus has been used to model physical and engineering processes that are found to be best described by fractional differential equations. For that reason we need a reliable and efficient technique for the solution of fractional differential equations. Here we construct the operational matrix of fractional derivative of order α in the Caputo sense using the linear B-spline functions. The main characteristic behind the approach using this technique is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of algebraic equations thus we can solve directly the problem. The method is applied to solve two types of fractional differential equations, linear and nonlinear. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the new technique presented in the current paper.     

Some quantities related to monotonicity and bounded variation of functions

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study some quantities connected with monotonicity and bounded variation of real functions. These quantities will also be considered for bounded subsets of spaces of bounded or continuous functions on a compact interval, equipped with the standard supremum norm. Several properties of such quantities are established, and possible applications are briefly sketched. Moreover, some relation with the theory of measures of noncompactness is discussed as well.     

A note on list improper coloring of plane graphs

A list-assignment L to the vertices of G is an assignment of a set L(v) of colors to vertex v for every v∈V(G). An (L,d)^∗-coloring is a mapping ? that assigns a color ?(v)∈L(v) to each vertex v∈V(G) such that at most d neighbors of v receive color ?(v). A graph is called (k,d)^∗-choosable, if G admits an (L,d)^∗-coloring for every list assignment L with |L(v)|≥k for all v∈V(G). In this note, it is proved that every plane graph, which contains no 4-cycles and l-cycles for some l∈{8,9}, is (3,1)^∗-choosable.     

Acyclic improper colourings of graphs with bounded maximum degree

For graphs of bounded maximum degree, we consider acyclic t-improper colourings, that is, colourings in which each bipartite subgraph consisting of the edges between two colour classes is acyclic, and each colour class induces a graph with maximum degree at most t.We consider the supremum, over all graphs of maximum degree at most d, of the acyclic t-improper chromatic number and provide t-improper analogues of results by Alon, McDiarmid and Reed [N. Alon, C.J.H. McDiarmid, B. Reed, Acyclic coloring of graphs, Random Structures Algorithms 2 (3) (1991) 277-288] and Fertin, Raspaud and Reed [G. Fertin, A. Raspaud, B. Reed, Star coloring of graphs, J. Graph Theory 47 (3) (2004) 163-182].

Spherical Scattered Data Quasi-interpolation by Gaussian Radial Basis Function

Since the spherical Gaussian radial function is strictly positive definite, the authors use the linear combinations of translations of the Gaussian kernel to interpolate the scattered data on spheres in this article. Seeing that target functions are usually outside the native spaces, and that one has to solve a large scaled system of linear equations to obtain combinatorial coefficients of interpolant functions, the authors first probe into some problems about interpolation with Gaussian radial functions. Then they construct quasiinterpolation operators by Gaussian radial function, and get the degrees of approximation. Moreover, they show the error relations between quasi-interpolation and interpolation when they have the same basis functions. Finally, the authors discuss the construction and approximation of the quasi-interpolant with a local support function.

The zeros of Euler's Psi function and its derivatives

We investigate the locations of the points of inflexion of Euler's Psi function, and the positions of the stationary points of its derivative. We also establish some trigonometric approximations to Psi which lead to improved estimates for the positions of its zeros. Finally we consider the behaviour of the horizontal separation between the branches.     

Interior estimates for Monge-Ampère equation in terms of modulus of continuity

We investigate the Monge-Ampère equation subject to zero boundary value and with a positive right-hand side function assumed to be continuous or essentially bounded. Interior estimates of the solution's first and second derivatives are obtained in terms of moduli of continuity. We explicate how the estimates depend on various quantities but have them independent of the solution's modulus of convexity. Our main theorem has many useful consequences. One of them is the nonlinear dependence between the Hölder seminorms of the solution and of the right-side function, which confirms the results of Figalli, Jhaveri & Mooney in [7]. Our technique is in part inspired by Jian & Wang in [11] which includes using a sequence of so-called sections.

On a Double Complex Sequence of Linear Operators

The main goal of the article is to introduce a class of double complex linear operators of integral type. The technique is based by extension into the complex domain of a real positive approximation process. Involving the first modulus of continuity, we investigate their geometric and approximation properties. The statistical convergence of our sequence is proved. In a particular case, our operators turn into the double complex Gauss-Weierstrass integral operators.

This work is concerned with approximation of a signal from local averages. It improves a result of Butzer and Lei [P.L. Butzer, J. Lei, Approximation of signals using measured sampled values and error analysis, Commun. Appl. Anal. 4 (2000) 245–255].     

Units coordination and the construction of improper fractions: A revision of the splitting hypothesis

This article communicates findings from a year-long constructivist teaching experiment about the relationship between four sixth-grade students’ multiplicative structures and their construction of improper fractions. Students’ multiplicative structures are the units coordinations that they can take as given prior to activity—i.e., the units coordinations that they have interiorized. This research indicates that the construction of improper fractions requires having interiorized three levels of units. Students who have interiorized only two levels of units may operate with fractions greater than one, but they don’t produce improper fractions. These findings call for a revision in Steffe's hypothesis (Steffe, L. P. (2002). A new hypothesis concerning children's fractional knowledge. Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 20, 267-307) that upon the construction of the splitting operation, students’ fractional schemes can be regarded as essentially including improper fractions. While the splitting operation seems crucial in the construction of improper fractions, it is not necessarily accompanied by the interiorization of three levels of units.     

The rate of convergence of q-Bernstein polynomials for

In the note, we obtain the estimates for the rate of convergence for a sequence of q-Bernstein polynomials {B_n,q(f)} for 0<q<1 by the modulus of continuity of f, and the estimates are sharp with respect to the order for Lipschitz continuous functions. We also get the exact orders of convergence for a family of functions , and the orders do not depend on α, unlike the classical case.
