Non-linear Semigroup of a Class of Abstract Semilinear Functional Differential Equations with a Non-Dense Domain

In this work, we are concerned with a general class of abstract semilinear autonomous functional differential equations with a non-dense domain on a Banach space. Our objective is to study, using the Crandall-Liggett approach, the solutions as a semigroup of non-linear operators.     

Generalized inverses and the maximal radius of regularity of a Fredholm operator

Operators possessing analytic generalized inverses satisfying the resolvent identity are studied. Several characterizations and necessary conditions are obtained. The maximal radius of regularity for a Fredholm operatorT is computed in terms of the spectral radius of a generalized inverse ofT. This provides a partial answer to a conjecture of J. Zemánek.     

On the isolated points of the surjective spectrum of a bounded operator

For a bounded operator acting on a complex Banach space, we show that if is not surjective, then is an isolated point of the surjective spectrum of if and only if , where is the quasinilpotent part of and is the analytic core for . Moreover, we study the operators for which . We show that for each of these operators , there exists a finite set consisting of Riesz points for such that and is connected, and derive some consequences.

     

Systemic Risk and Stochastic Games with Delay

We propose a model of inter-bank lending and borrowing which takes into account clearing debt obligations. The evolution of log-monetary reserves of banks is described by coupled diffusions driven by controls with delay in their drifts. Banks are minimizing their finite-horizon objective functions which take into account a quadratic cost for lending or borrowing and a linear incentive to borrow if the reserve is low or lend if the reserve is high relative to the average capitalization of the system. As such, our problem is a finite-player linear–quadratic stochastic differential game with delay. An open-loop Nash equilibrium is obtained using a system of fully coupled forward and advanced-backward stochastic differential equations. We then describe how the delay affects liquidity and systemic risk characterized by a large number of defaults. We also derive a closed-loop Nash equilibrium using a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman partial differential equation approach.     

Properties of Some Families of Meromorphic Multivalent Functions Associated with Generalized Hypergeometric Functions

We introduce and study two subclasses ?_([α_1])(A, B, λ) and ?_([α_1])~+ (A, B, λ) of meromorphic p-valent functions defined by certain linear operator involving the generalized hypergeometric function. The main object is to investigate the various important properties and characteristics of these subclasses of meromorphically multivalent functions. We extend the familiar concept of neighborhoods of analytic functions to these subclasses. We also derive many interesting results for the Hadamard products of functions belonging to the class ?_([α_1])~+(α, β, γ, λ).     

Decomposition of group rings and the converse of Schur’s lemma

In this work, we give necessary and su?cient conditions for a group ring (of finite group) to satisfy the converse of Schur’s lemma for group rings of finite groups. Rings considered here are commutative or noncommutative perfect. Some cases of twisted group rings are studied. Also we introduce the notion of semi-CSL ring.     

Continuum modeling for the modulated vibration modes of large repetitive structuresModèle continu pour les modes de vibrations modulés des longues structures répétitives

By homogenization theory, one can predict the vibrations of long repetitive structures in the low frequency range. Beyond this range, many modes have a modulated shape. Based on a multiple scale analysis, a continuum model is presented, that is able to account for this class of modes. This model involves a real coefficient that can be computed from the finite element resolution of problems defined on a few basic cells. An application in 2D elasticity is presented.

A modified pseudospectral method for solving trajectory optimization problems with singular arc

This paper presents a direct method based on Legendre–Radau pseudospectral method for efficient and accurate solution of a class of singular optimal control problems. In this scheme, based on a priori knowledge of control, the problem is transformed to a multidomain formulation, in which the switching points appear as unknown parameters. Then, by utilizing Legendre‐Radau pseudospectral method, a nonlinear programming problem is derived which can be solved by the well‐developed parameter optimization algorithms. The main advantages of the present method are its superior accuracy and ability to capture the switching times. Accuracy and performance of the proposed method are examined by means of some numerical experiments. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
