PARTIAL REGULARITY RESULT OF SUPERQUADRATIC ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS WITH DINI CONTINUOUS COEFFICIENTS

We consider the partial regularity for weak solutions to superquadratic elliptic systems with controllable growth condition, under the assumption of Dini continuous coefficients. The proof relies upon an iteration scheme of a decay estimate for a new type of excess functional. To establish the decay estimate, we use the technique of A-harmonic approximation and obtain a general criterion for a weak solution to be regular in the neighborhood of a given point. In particular, the proof yields directly the optimal H¨older exponent for the derivative of the weak solutions on the regular set.     

Boundary value problems of discrete generalized Emden-Fowler equation

By using the critical point theory, some sufficient conditions for the existence of the solutions to the boundary value problems of a discrete generalized Emden-Fowler equation are obtained. In a special case, a sharp condition is obtained for the existence of the boundary value problems of the above equation. For a linear case, by the discrete variational theory, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence, uniqueness and multiplicity of the solutions is also established.

Two-Dimensional Regular Shock Reflection for the Pressure Gradient System of Conservation Laws - Yuxi Zheng We establish the existence of a global solution to a regular reflection of a shock hitting a ramp for the pressure gradient system of equations. The set-up of the reflection is the same as that of Mach's experiment for the compressible Euler system, i.e., a straight shock hitting a ramp. We assume that the angle of the ramp is close to 90 degrees. The solution has a     

BATE curve in assessment of clinical utility of predictive biomarkers

In this paper,for time-to-event data,we propose a new statistical framework for casual inference in evaluating clinical utility of predictive biomarkers and in selecting an optimal treatment for a particular patient.This new casual framework is based on a new concept,called Biomarker Adjusted Treatment Effect (BATE) curve.The BATE curve can be used for assessing clinical utility of a predictive biomarker,for designing a subsequent confirmation trial,and for guiding clinical practice.We then propose semi-parametric methods for estimating the BATE curves of biomarkers and establish asymptotic results of the proposed estimators for the BATE curves.We also conduct extensive simulation studies to evaluate finite-sample properties of the proposed estimation methods.Finally,we illustrate the application of the proposed method in a real-world data set.     

MULTI-PARAMETER TIKHONOV REGULARIZATION FOR LINEAR ILL-POSED OPERATOR EQUATIONS

We consider solving linear ill-posed operator equations. Based on a multi-scale decomposition for the solution space, we propose a multi-parameter regularization for solving the equations. We establish weak and strong convergence theorems for the multi-parameter regularization solution. In particular, based on the eigenfunction decomposition, we develop a posteriori choice strategy for multi-parameters which gives a regularization solution with the optimal error bound. Several practical choices of multi-parameters are proposed. We also present numerical experiments to demonstrate the outperformance of the multiparameter regularization over the single parameter regularization.

The method of <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-harmonic approximation and boundary regularity for nonlinear elliptic systems under the natural growth condition

We consider the questions of boundary regularity for weak solutions of second-order nonlinear elliptic systems under the natural growth condition. We obtain a general criterion for a weak solution to be regular in the neighborhood of a given boundary point. The proof yields directly the optimal regularity for the solution in this neighborhood. This result is new for the situation under the natural growth conditions.     

Local discontinuous Galerkin methods with explicit-implicit-null time discretizations for solving nonlinear diffusion problems

In this paper,we discuss the local discontinuous Galerkin methods coupled with two specific explicitimplicit-null time discretizations for solving one-dimensional nonlinear diffusion problems Ut=(a(U)Ux)x.The basic idea is to add and subtract two equal terms a0 Uxx the right-hand side of the partial differential equation,then to treat the term a0 Uxx implicitly and the other terms(a(U)Ux)x-a0 Uxx explicitly.We give stability analysis for the method on a simplified model by the aid of energy analysis,which gives a guidance for the choice of a0,i.e.,a0≥max{a(u)}/2 to ensure the unconditional stability of the first order and second order schemes.The optimal error estimate is also derived for the simplified model,and numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the stability,accuracy and performance of the schemes for nonlinear diffusion equations.     

A note on exact convergence rate in the local limit theorem for a lattice branching random walk

Consider a branching random walk, where the underlying branching mechanism is governed by a Galton-Watson process and the moving law of particles by a discrete random variable on the integer lattice Z. Denote by Z_n(z) the number of particles in the n-th generation in the model for each z ∈ Z. We derive the exact convergence rate in the local limit theorem for Z_n(z) assuming a condition like "EN(log N)~(1+λ) ∞" for the offspring distribution and a finite moment condition on the motion law. This complements the known results for the strongly non-lattice branching random walk on the real line and for the simple symmetric branching random walk on the integer lattice.     

G-frames and g-frame sequences in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we first determine the relations among the best bounds A and B of the g-frame, the g-frame operator S and the pre-frame operator Q and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a g-frame with bounds A and B in a complex Hilbert space. We also introduce the definition of a g-frame sequence and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a g-frame sequence with bounds A and B in a complex Hilbert space. Lastly, we consider the stability of a g-frame sequence for a complex Hilbert space under perturbation.     

A new hybrid method for solving a generalized equilibrium problem, solving a variational inequality problem and obtaining common fixed points in Banach spaces, with applications

The purpose of this paper is to prove by using a new hybrid method a strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of solutions for a generalized equilibrium problem, the set of solutions for a variational inequality problem and the set of common fixed points for a pair of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. As applications, we utilize our results to obtain some new results for finding a solution of an equilibrium problem, a fixed point problem and a common zero-point problem for maximal monotone mappings in Banach spaces.

Stackelberg–Nash exact controllability for the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation

This paper deals with a hierarchical control problem for the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation following a Stackelberg–Nash strategy. We assume that there is a main control, called the leader, and two secondary controls, called the followers. The leader tries to drive the solution to a prescribed target and the followers intend to be a Nash equilibrium for given functionals. It is known that this problem is equivalent to a null controllability result for an optimality system consisting of three non-linear equations. One of the novelties is a new Carleman estimate for a fourth-order equation with right-hand sides in Sobolev spaces of negative order, which allows to relax some geometric conditions for the observation sets for the followers.     

Real time disruption management for a two-stage batch production–inventory system with reliability considerations

In this research, a two-stage batch production–inventory system is introduced. In this system, the production may be disrupted, for a given period of time, either at one or both stages. In this paper, firstly, a mathematical model has been developed to suggest a recovery plan for a single occurrence of disruption at either stage. Secondly, multiple disruptions have been considered, for which a new disruption may or may not affect the recovery plan of earlier disruptions. We propose a new approach that deals with a series of disruptions over a period of time, which can be implemented for disruption recovery on a real time basis. In this approach, the model formulated for single disruption has been integrated to generate initial solutions for individual disruptions and the solutions have been revised for multiple dependent disruptions with changed parameters. With the proposed approach, an optimal recovery plan can be obtained in real time, whenever the production system experiences either a sudden disruption or a series of disruptions, at different points in time. Some numerical examples and a real-world case study are presented to explain the benefits of our proposed approach.     

Diffusion in poro‐plastic media

A model is developed for the flow of a slightly compressible fluid through a saturated inelastic porous medium. The initial‐boundary‐value problem is a system that consists of the diffusion equation for the fluid coupled to the momentum equation for the porous solid together with a constitutive law which includes a possibly hysteretic relation of elasto‐visco‐plastic type. The variational form of this problem in Hilbert space is a non‐linear evolution equation for which the existence and uniqueness of a global strong solution is proved by means of monotonicity methods. Various degenerate situations are permitted, such as incompressible fluid, negligible porosity, or a quasi‐static momentum equation. The essential sufficient conditions for the well‐posedness of the system consist of an ellipticity condition on the term for diffusion of fluid and either a viscous or a hardening assumption in the constitutive relation for the porous solid.

Implicit construction of multiple eigenvalues for trees

We are generally concerned with the possible lists of multiplicities for the eigenvalues of a real symmetric matrix with a given graph. Many restrictions are known, but it is often problematic to construct a matrix with desired multiplicities, even if a matrix with such multiplicities exists. Here, we develop a technique for construction using the implicit function theorem in a certain way. We show that the technique works for a large variety of trees, give examples and determine all possible multiplicities for a large class of trees for which this was not previously known.     

Optimal Control and Stabilization for Some Fisher-Like Models

This article concerns optimal control and stabilization for some Fisher-like models with control acting in a subdomain ω. We investigate the optimal position of ω for some optimal harvesting problems. First, we refer to a logistic model with diffusion. We remember the necessary optimality conditions, and then obtain an iterative method to improve the position of ω for the optimal harvesting effort (for a simplified model without logistic term). Next, we consider the null stabilization for a controlled Fisher model and obtain a descent method to improve the position of ω in order to get a faster stabilization to zero. Numerical tests illustrating the effect of the last method are given. We also studied the null stabilization for a prey-predator system and have reduced it to the study of the null stabilizability for a related Fisher model.

Competence-driven project portfolio selection,scheduling and staff assignment

This paper presents a new model for project portfolio selection, paying specific attention to competence development. The model seeks to maximize a weighted average of economic gains from projects and strategic gains from the increment of desirable competencies. As a sub-problem, scheduling and staff assignment for a candidate set of selected projects must also be optimized. We provide a nonlinear mixed-integer program formulation for the overall problem, and then propose heuristic solution techniques composed of (1) a greedy heuristic for the scheduling and staff assignment part, and (2) two (alternative) metaheuristics for the project selection part. The paper outlines experimental results on a real-world application provided by the E-Commerce Competence Center Austria and, for a slightly simplified instance, presents comparisons with the exact solution computed by CPLEX.
