First Order System of Equations of Mixed Type and Second Order Equation of Mixed Type

A system of first order equations of mixed type, which may be reduced to a general second order equation of mixed type, is considered. Uniqueness of solution to the generalized Tricomi problem is proved by the method of auxiliary function. Existence of H¹ strong solution is based on a characteristic problem and is proved by the Fredholm's alternative properties.

Symmetries and invariants of the systems of two linear second-order ordinary differential equations

For arbitrary systems of two linear second-order ordinary differential equations, the symmetry Lie algebra is described in terms of invariant theory, resulting in eleven non-equivalent symmetry types. The result is compared with the group classification approach recently obtained by different authors.     

Stability analysis of constrained inventory systems with transportation delay

Stability is a fundamental design property of inventory systems. However, the often exploited linearity assumptions in the current literature create a major gap between theory and practice. In this paper the stability of a constrained production and inventory system with a Forbidden Returns constraint (that is, a non-negative order rate) is studied via a piecewise linear model, an eigenvalue analysis and a simulation investigation. The APVIOBPCS (Automatic Pipeline, Variable Inventory and Order Based Production Control System) and EPVIOBPCS (Estimated Pipeline, Variable Inventory and Order Based Production Control System) replenishment policies are adopted. Surprisingly, all kinds of non-linear dynamical behaviours of systems can be observed in these simple models. Exact expressions of the asymptotic stability boundaries and Lyapunovian stability boundaries are derived when actual and perceived transportation lead-time is 1 and 2 periods long respectively. Asymptotically stable regions in the non-linear Forbidden Return systems are identical to the stable regions in its unconstrained counterpart. However, regions of bounded fluctuations that continue forever, including both periodicity and chaos, exist in the parametrical plane outside the asymptotically stable region. Simulation shows a complex and delicate structure in these regions. The results suggest that accurate lead-time information is essential to eliminate inventory drift and instability and that ordering policies have to be designed properly in accordance with the actual lead-time to avoid these fluctuations and divergence.     

Conditional linearizability criteria for a system of third-order ordinary differential equations

We provide linearizability criteria for a class of systems of two third-order ordinary differential equations that is cubically nonlinear in the first derivative, by differentiating a system of second-order quadratically nonlinear ordinary differential equations and using the original system to replace the second derivatives. The procedure developed splits into two cases: those for which the coefficients are constant and those for which they are variables. Both cases are discussed and examples given.     

Constant-sign solutions for systems of singular integral equations of Hammerstein type

We consider the system of Hammerstein integral equations

where T>0 is fixed, ρ_i’s are given functions and the nonlinearities f_i(t,x₁,x₂,…,x_n) can be singular at t=0 and x_j=0 where j{1,2,,n}. Criteria are offered for the existence of constant-sign solutions, i.e., θ_iu_i(t)≥0 for t[0,T] and 1≤i≤n, where θ_i{1,−1} is fixed. The tools used are a nonlinear alternative of Leray–Schauder type, Krasnosel’skii’s fixed point theorem in a cone and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. We also include examples and applications to illustrate the usefulness of the results obtained.     

On discrete-in-time deterministic inventory systems for deteriorating items with finite replenishment bate

Three inventory systems, viz. the EOQ, the order-level and the order-level lot-size systems, are considered for deteriorating items, in which the replenishment rate is finite and uniform, demand is deterministic and the deterioration is a constant fraction of the on hand inventory. The mathematical models-of the systems are continuous in units but are discrete in time and assume instantaneous delivery. The EOQ does not allow shortages, the order-level allows shortages but assumes a prescribed scheduling period whereas the order-level lot-size does allow shortages but does consider the scheduling period as being a prescribed constant. For the EOQ an approximation the order-level lot size, a search procedure is developed for finding optimal solution. All the results are supported by numerical examples.     

On stable least squares solution to the system of linear inequalities

The system of inequalities is transformed to the least squares problem on the positive ortant. This problem is solved using orthogonal transformations which are memorized as products. Author’s previous paper presented a method where at each step all the coefficients of the system were transformed. This paper describes a method applicable also to large matrices. Like in revised simplex method, in this method an auxiliary matrix is used for the computations. The algorithm is suitable for unstable and degenerate problems primarily.      

THE ZONAL DISINTEGRATION MECHANISM OF SURROUNDING ROCK AROUND DEEP SPHERICAL TUNNELS UNDER HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE CONDITION: A NON-EUCLIDEAN CONTINUUM DAMAGE MODEL

A new non-Euclidean continuum damage model is proposed to investigate the zonal disintegration phenomenon of the surrounding rocks around deep spherical tunnels under hydrostatic pressure condition as well as the total elastic stress field distributions.The elastic stress fields of the surrounding rocks around deep spherical tunnels under hydrostatic pressure condition are obtained.If the elastic stresses of the surrounding rocks satisfy the strength criterion of the deep rock masses,the number,size and location of fractured and nonfractured zones are determined.The efect of physico-mechanical parameters of the surrounding rocks on the zonal disintegration phenomenon is studied and numerical computation is carried out.It is found from numerical results that the number,size and location of fractured and non-fractured zones are sensitive to the physico-mechanical parameters of the surrounding rocks.     

On Global Asymptotic Stability of Second Order Nonlinear Differential Systems

This paper investigates the global asymptotic stability of the autonomous planar systems $ \dot {x} = p_2(y)q_2(x)y $ , $ \dot {y} = p_3(y)q_3(x)x + p_3(y)q_4(x)y $ and $ \dot {x} = f_1(x) + h_2(x)y $ , $ \dot {y} = f_3(x) + h_4(x)y $ , under the assumption that all functions involved in the equations are continuous and that the origin is a unique equilibrium. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for the origin to be globally asymptotically stable.
