An ideal way of obtaining an optimal inspection permutation for a system with components connected in series

The problem of an inspection permutation or inspection strategy (first discussed in a research paper in 1989 and reviewed in another research paper in 1991) is revisited. The problem deals with an N‐component system whose times to failure are independent but not identically distributed random variables. Each of the failure times follows an exponential distribution. The components in the system are connected in series such that the failure of at least one component entails the failure of the system. Upon system failure, the components are inspected one after another in a hierarchical way (called an inspection permutation) until the component causing the system to fail is identified. The inspection of each component is a process that takes a non‐negligible amount of time and is performed at a cost. Once the faulty component is identified, it is repaired at a cost, and the repair process takes some time. After the repair, the system is good as new and is put back in operation. The inspection permutation that results in the maximum long run average net income per unit of time (for the undiscounted case) or maximum total discounted net income per unit of time (for the discounted case) is called the optimal inspection permutation/strategy. A way of determining an optimal inspection permutation in an easier fashion, taking advantage of the improvements in computer software, is proffered. Mathematica is used to showcase how the method works with the aid of a numerical example. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

EVANS FUNCTIONS AND INSTABILITY OF A STANDING PULSE SOLUTION OF A NONLINEAR SYSTEM OF REACTION DIFFUSION EQUATIONS

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear system of reaction diffusion equations arising from mathematical neuroscience and two nonlinear scalar reaction diffusion equations under some assumptions on their coefficients. The main purpose is to couple together linearized stability criterion (the equivalence of the nonlinear stability, the linear stability and the spectral stability of the standing pulse solutions) and Evans functions to accomplish the existence and instability of standing pulse solutions of the nonlinear system of reaction diffusion equations and the nonlinear scalar reaction diffusion equations. The Evans functions for the standing pulse solutions are constructed explicitly.     

The global well-posedness for the 2D Leray-<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis> MHD equations with zero magnetic diffusivity

By means of Fourier frequency localization and Bony’s paraproduct decomposition, we study the global existence and the uniqueness of the 2D Leray-α Magneta-hydrodynamics model with zero magnetic diffusivity for the general initial data. In view of the profits bring by the α model, then using the energy estimate in the frequency space and the Logarithmic Sobolev inequality, we obtain the estimate \(\int_0^t {{{\left\| {{\nabla _u}} \right\|}_L}\infty ds} \)which is crucial to get the global existence for the general initial data.     

Regularity criterion of weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations via two velocity components

This paper is concerned with the regularity criterion of Leray-Hopf weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with respect to Serrin type condition on two velocity filed components. It is shown that the weak solution u=(u₁,u₂,u₃) is regular on (0,T] if there exist two solution components, for example, u₂ and u₃, satisfying the condition

     

Weak convergence of diffusion processes on Wiener space

Let γ be a Gaussian measure on a Suslin space X, H be the corresponding Cameron–Martin space and {e _i } ⊂ H be an orthonormal basis of H. Suppose that μ _n = ρ _n · γ is a sequence of probability measures which converges weakly to a probability measure μ = ρ · γ Consider a sequence of Dirichlet forms , where and . We prove some sufficient conditions for Mosco convergence where . In particular, if X is a Hilbert space, and can be uniformly approximated by finite dimensional conditional expectations for every fixed e _i , then under broad assumptions Mosco and the distributions of the associated stochastic processes converge weakly.     

The Kitai criterion and backward shifts

It is proved that for any separable infinite dimensional Banach space , there is a bounded linear operator on such that satisfies the Kitai criterion. The proof is based on a quasisimilarity argument and on showing that satisfies the Kitai criterion for certain backward weighted shifts .

On regularity criterion to the 3D axisymmetric incompressible MHD equations

This paper is concerned with the regularity criterion for a class of axisymmetric solutions to 3D incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. More precisely, for the solutions that have the form of u = u_re_r+u_θe_θ+u_ze_z and b = b_θe_θ, we prove that if |ru(x,t)|≤C holds for ?1≤t < 0, then (u,b) is regular at time zero. This result can be thought as a generalization of recent results in for the 3D incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
