Exponential convergence of an epidemic model with time-varying delays

In this paper the convergence behavior of an epidemic model with time-varying delays are considered. Some sufficient conditions are established to ensure that all solutions of the epidemic model with permitted initial conditions converge exponentially to zero, which are new and complement previously known results.     

Construction of rotation symmetric Boolean functions with optimal algebraic immunity and high nonlinearity

Recent research shows that the class of rotation symmetric Boolean functions is potentially rich in functions of cryptographic significance. In this paper, based on the knowledge of compositions of an integer, we present two new kinds of construction of rotation symmetric Boolean functions having optimal algebraic immunity on either odd variables or even variables. Our new functions are of much better nonlinearity than all the existing theoretical constructions of rotation symmetric Boolean functions with optimal algebraic immunity. Further, the algebraic degree of our rotation symmetric Boolean functions are also high enough.     

Deformations of Loday-type algebras and their morphisms

We study formal deformations of multiplication in an operad. This closely resembles Gerstenhaber's deformation theory for associative algebras. However, this applies to various algebras of Loday-type and their twisted analogs. We explicitly describe the cohomology of these algebras with coefficients in a representation. Finally, deformation of morphisms between algebras of the same Loday-type is also considered.     

The Cauchy problem for the stochastic generalized Benjamin-Ono equation

The current paper is devoted to the Cauchy problem for the stochastic generalized Benjamin-Ono equation.By establishing the bilinear and trilinear estimates in some Bourgain spaces,we prove that the Cauchy problem for the stochastic generalized Benjamin-Ono equation is locally well-posed for the initial data u_0(x,w)∈L~2(Ω;H~s(R)) which is F_0-measurable with s≥1/2-α/4 and Φ∈L_2~(0,s).In particular,when α=1,we prove that it is globally well-posed for the initial data u_0(x,w)∈L~2(Ω;H~1(R)) which is F_0-measurable and Φ∈L_2~(0,1).The key ingredients that we use in this paper are trilinear estimates,the Ito formula and the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy(BDG) inequality as well as the stopping time technique.     

Well-posedness of the Prandtl equation with monotonicity in Sobolev spaces

By using the paralinearization technique, we prove the well-posedness of the Prandtl equation for monotonic data in anisotropic Sobolev space with exponential weight and low regularity. The proof is very elementary, thus is expected to provide a new possible way for the zero-viscosity limit problem of the Navier–Stokes equations with the non-slip boundary condition.     

A note on blow-up of solution for a class of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equations

In this short note, we revisit the blow-up of solution for the initial boundary value problem of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equations with low/critical initial energy stated in Xu and Su (2013) [4], and amend the proofs of the original paper.     

Spectral Properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-Quasi-<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>-hyponormal Operators

In this paper, we study the k-quasi-M-hyponormal operator and mainly prove that if T is a k-quasi-M-hyponormal operator, then \(\sigma _{ja}(T)\backslash \{0\}=\sigma _{a}(T)\backslash \{0\}\), and the spectrum is continuous on the class of all k-quasi-M-hyponormal operators; let \(d_{AB}\in B(B(H))\) denote either the generalized derivation \(\delta _{AB}= L_{A}-R_{B}\) or the elementary operator \(\Delta _{AB} =L_{A}R_{B}- I\), we show that if A and \(B^{*}\) are k-quasi-M-hyponormal operators, then \(d_{AB}\) is polaroid and generalized Weyl’s theorem holds for \(f(d_{AB})\), where f is an analytic function on \(\sigma (d_{AB})\) and f is not constant on each connected component of the open set U containing \(\sigma (d_{AB})\). In additon, we discuss the hyperinvariant subspace problem for k-quasi-M-hyponormal operators.
