Local and parallel finite element algorithms for the Steklov eigenvalue problem

Based on the work of Xu and Zhou [Math Comput 69 (2000) 881–909], we propose and analyze in this article local and parallel finite element algorithms for the Steklov eigenvalue problem. We also prove a local error estimate which is suitable for the case that the locally refined region contains singular points lying on the boundary of domain, which is an improvement of the existing results. Numerical experiments are reported finally to validate our theoretical analysis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 32: 399–417, 2016     

The James constant for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>3</Subscript> − <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> space

In this note, the exact value of the James constant for the l₃-l₁ space is obtained, J(l₃-l₁)=1.5573…. This result improves the known inequality, J(l₃-l₁)≤4/³√10, which was given by Dhompongsa, Piraisangjun and Saejung.     

A Random Shock Model with Mixed Effect,Including Competing Soft and Sudden Failures,and Dependence

A system is considered, which is subject to external and possibly fatal shocks, with dependence between the fatality of a shock and the system age. Apart from these shocks, the system suffers from competing soft and sudden failures, where soft failures refer to the reaching of a given threshold for the degradation level, and sudden failures to accidental failures, characterized by a failure rate. A non-fatal shock increases both degradation level and failure rate of a random amount, with possible dependence between the two increments. The system reliability is calculated by four different methods. Conditions under which the system lifetime is New Better than Used are proposed. The influence of various parameters of the shocks environment on the system lifetime is studied.

Periodica Mathematica Hungarica - Let D be a division ring with infinite center, K a proper division subring of D and N an almost subnormal subgroup of the multiplicative group $$D^*$$ of D. The...     

A Note on π-Engel Conditions

In this paper we show that the weakly -Engel conditions are closely related to the existance of normal -complements; while the -Engel conditions are closely related to the -nilpotent groups.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 20D20     

Long-time Convergence of Numerical Approximations for Semilinear Parabolic Equations （ Ⅱ ）

In this article we extend ours framework of long-time convergence for numeracal approximations of semihnear parabolic equations prorided in “Wu Haijun and Li Ronghua, Northeast. Math. J. , 16( 1 )(2000), 1-28“, to the Gauss-Ledendre full discretization. When apply the result to the CrankNicholson finiteelement full discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations, we can remore the grid-ratio restriction of “Heywood, J. G. and Rannaeher, R., SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 27(1990), 353-384“,and weaken the stability condition on the continuous solution.     

Shrinking Projection Methods for a Family of Quasi-φ-Strict Asymptotically Pseudo-Contractions in Banach Spaces

The purpose of this article is to propose a shrinking projection method and prove a strong convergence theorem for a family of quasi-φ-strict asymptotically pseudo-contractions. Its results hold in reflexive, strictly convex, smooth Banach spaces with the property (K). The results of this paper improve and extend the results of Matsushita and Takahashi, Marino and Xu, Zhou and Gao and others.
