Asymptotic properties of a new Sturm–Liouville problem with retarded argument

In this work, we study the asymptotic properties of a new Sturm–Liouville problem with retarded argument. Contrary to previous works, differential equation includes eigenparameter as a quadratic function. In the considered problem arise new difficulties. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Asymptotic ruin probabilities in a generalized bidimensional risk model perturbed by diffusion with constant force of interest

In the paper, we study three types of finite-time ruin probabilities in a diffusion-perturbed bidimensional risk model with constant force of interest, pairwise strongly quasi-asymptotically independent claims and two general claim arrival processes, and obtain uniformly asymptotic formulas for times in a finite interval when the claims are both long-tailed and dominatedly-varying-tailed. In particular, with a certain dependence structure among the inter-arrival times, these formulas hold uniformly for all times when the claims are pairwise quasi-asymptotically independent and consistently-varying-tailed.     

点可迁图的限制边连通性

3限制边割是连通图的一个边割, 它将此图分离成阶不小于3的连通分支. 图G的最小3限制边割所含的边数称为此图的3限制边连通度, 记作λ\-3(G). 它以图G的3阶连通点导出 子图的余边界的最小基数ξ_3(G)为上界. 如果λ_3(G)=ξ_3(G), 则称图G是极大3限制边连通的 . 已知在某种程度上,3限制边连通度较大的网络有较好的可靠性. 作者在文中证明: 如果k正则连通点可迁图的 围长至少是5, 那么它是是极大3限制边连通的.     

Characterizations of competition multigraphs

The notion of a competition multigraph was introduced by C. A. Anderson, K. F. Jones, J. R. Lundgren, and T. A. McKee [C. A. Anderson, K. F. Jones, J. R. Lundgren, and T. A. McKee: Competition multigraphs and the multicompetition number, Ars Combinatoria 29B (1990) 185-192] as a generalization of the competition graphs of digraphs.In this note, we give a characterization of competition multigraphs of arbitrary digraphs and a characterization of competition multigraphs of loopless digraphs. Moreover, we characterize multigraphs whose multicompetition numbers are at most m, where m is a given nonnegative integer and give characterizations of competition multihypergraphs.     

A note on the subexponential asymptotics of the stationary distribution of M/G/1 type Markov chains

Masuyama (2011) obtained the subexponential asymptotics of the stationary distribution of an M/G/1 type Markov chain under the assumption related to the periodic structure of G-matrix. In this note, we improve Masuyama’s result by showing that the subexponential asymptotics holds without the assumption related to the periodic structure of G-matrix.     

Inter-layer edge tunneling and transport properties in separately contacted double-layer quantum-Hall systems

A theory of transport in the quantum-Hall regime is developed for separately contacted double-layer electron systems. Inter-layer tunneling provides a channel for equilibration of the distribution functions in the two layers at the edge states. Resistances and transresistances for various configurations of the electrodes are calculated as functions of the inter-layer tunneling amplitude. Induced current in one of the layer by a current in the other is also calculated. It is shown that reflection at the leads causes change in the results for some electrode configurations. The results obtained in this work is consistent with recent experiments.     

Asymptotics of derivatives of orthogonal polynomials on the real line

We show that uniform asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials on the real line imply uniform asymptotics for all their derivatives. This is more technically challenging than the corresponding problem on the unit circle. We also examine asymptotics in the L ₂ norm.

On star and caterpillar arboricity

We give new bounds on the star arboricity and the caterpillar arboricity of planar graphs with given girth. One of them answers an open problem of Gyárfás and West: there exist planar graphs with track number 4. We also provide new NP-complete problems.
