Cyclic reduction and FACR methods for piecewise hermite bicubic orthogonal spline collocation

Cyclic reduction and Fourier analysis-cyclic reduction (FACR) methods are presented for the solution of the linear systems which arise when orthogonal spline collocation with piecewise Hermite bicubics is applied to boundary value problems for certain separable partial differential equations on a rectangle. On anN×N uniform partition, the cyclic reduction and Fourier analysis-cyclic reduction methods requireO(N ²log₂ N) andO(N ²log₂log₂ N) arithmetic operations, respectively.     

On the theory of vapor — Liquid — Crystal phase transitions

An approach is discussed which allows one to describe within the framework of the single model the aggregative states of a system of atoms obeying the Fermi statistics. A phase diagram is obtained containing both the critical point where the distinctions between the liquid and vapor vanish and the triple point where the liquid, vapor, and crystal are in equilibrium.     

Change point estimation in non-monotonic aging models

The problem of estimating change points in various non-monotonic aging models is considered. A general methodology for consistent estimation of the change point is developed and applied to non-monotonic aging models based on the hazard rate function as well as on the mean residual life function.     

Lagrangian Duality in Set-Valued Optimization

In this paper, we study optimization problems where the objective function and the binding constraints are set-valued maps and the solutions are defined by means of set-relations among all the images sets (Kuroiwa, D. in Takahashi, W., Tanaka, T. (eds.) Nonlinear analysis and convex analysis, pp. 221–228, 1999). We introduce a new dual problem, establish some duality theorems and obtain a Lagrangian multiplier rule of nonlinear type under convexity assumptions. A necessary condition and a sufficient condition for the existence of saddle points are given. The authors thank the two referees for valuable comments and suggestions on early versions of the paper.

向量变分不等式的严格可行性问题

本篇文章首先定义了向量变分不等式的严格可行点概念,其次在假设了映射是强(D)-伪单调的情况下,证明了向量变分不等式解集非空有界与其严格可行点存在的等价性问题,推广了在数量变分不等式上得到的相应结果．     

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for a nonlinear Neumann problem

We consider a Neumann problem of the type -εΔu+F ^′(u(x))=0 in an open bounded subset Ω of R ⁿ , where F is a real function which has exactly k maximum points. Using Morse theory we find that, for ε suitably small, there are at least 2k nontrivial solutions of the problem and we give some qualitative information about them.

储蓄——收入模型的转变点分析

本文利用线性回归模型分析改革开放以来我国居民储蓄与收入的关系 ,并引入转变点理论研究二者关系发生结构性转变的问题 ,最后讨论了影响储蓄增长的几个因素 .实证研究表明 ,90年代以来 ,随着经济环境的巨大变化 ,居民储蓄与收入的关系有所改变 ,储蓄的增长速度已经超过了收入的增长速度 .我们的研究还表明 ,当用时间跨度较大的样本时 ,结论虽符合长期趋势 ,但考虑到其可信度及从时效性角度看对近期宏观政策的现实指导意义 ,常规的回归分析应该加入转变点检验 ,以防忽略系统结构性转变 .
