Asymptotic Decay for Some Differential Systems with Fading Memory

We study the large time behavior of the solution u to an initial and boundary value problem related to the following integro-differential equation $$ u_{tt} = G_0 \Delta u + \int_0^t G'(t-s) \Delta u(x, s)\, ds - a u_t \eqno(0.1) $$ where G 0 , a are real constant coefficients, G 0 > 0, a S 0 and $ G\,' \in L^1({{\shadR}}^ + ) \cap L^2({{\shadR}}^ + ), G\,' \le 0 $ . It is known that, when G ' L 0 and a > 0, the solution u of (0.1) exponentially decays. Here we prove that, for any nonnegative a and for any $ G ' \not \equiv 0 $ , the solution u of the Eq. (0.1) exponentially decays only if the relaxation kernel G ' does. In other words, the introduction of the dissipative term related to G ' does not allow the exponential decay due to the presence of the positive coefficient a . We also prove analogous results for the polynomial decay.     

Polynomial Identities of Algebras of Small Dimension

It is well known that given an associative algebra or a Lie algebra A, its codimension sequence c _n (A) is either polynomially bounded or grows at least as fast as 2 ⁿ . In [2 Giambruno , A. , Mishchenko , S. , Zaicev , M. ( 2006 ). Algebras with intermediate growth of the codimensions . Adv. Appl. Math. 37 ( 3 ): 360 – 377 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] we proved that for a finite dimensional (in general nonassociative) algebra A, dim A = d, the sequence c _n (A) is also polynomially bounded or c _n (A) ≥ a ⁿ asymptotically, for some real number a > 1 which might be less than 2. Nevertheless, for d = 2, we may take a = 2. Here we prove that for d = 3 the same conclusion holds. We also construct a five-dimensional algebra A with c _n (A) < 2 ⁿ .     

On the distribution of exponential functionals for Lévy processes with jumps of rational transform

We derive explicit formulas for the Mellin transform and the distribution of the exponential functional for Lévy processes with rational Laplace exponent. This extends recent results by Cai and Kou [3] on the processes with hyper-exponential jumps.     

Magnus integrators for solving linear-quadratic differential games

We consider Magnus integrators to solve linear-quadratic N$N$-player differential games. These problems require to solve, backward in time, non-autonomous matrix Riccati differential equations which are coupled with the linear differential equations for the dynamic state of the game, to be integrated forward in time. We analyze different Magnus integrators which can provide either analytical or numerical approximations to the equations. They can be considered as time-averaging methods and frequently are used as exponential integrators. We show that they preserve some of the most relevant qualitative properties of the solution for the matrix Riccati differential equations as well as for the remaining equations. The analytical approximations allow us to study the problem in terms of the parameters involved. Some numerical examples are also considered which show that exponential methods are, in general, superior to standard methods.     

Exponentially-fitted methods and their stability functions

We investigate the properties of stability functions of exponentially-fitted Runge–Kutta methods, and we show that it is possible (to some extent) to determine the stability function of a method without actually constructing the method itself. To focus attention, examples are given for the case of one-stage methods. We also make the connection with so-called integrating factor methods and exponential collocation methods. Various approaches are given to construct these methods.     

Positive almost periodic solution for a class of Nicholson’s blowflies model with a linear harvesting term

In this paper, we study the problem of positive almost periodic solutions for the generalized Nicholson’s blowflies model with a linear harvesting term and multiple time-varying delays. By applying the fixed point theorem and the Lyapunov functional method, we establish some criteria to ensure that the solutions of this model converge locally exponentially to a positive almost periodic solution. Moreover, we give an example to illustrate our main results.     

Evolutionary model of the personal income distribution

The aim of this work is to develop a qualitative picture of the personal income distribution. Treating an economy as a self-organized system the key idea of the model is that the income distribution contains competitive and non-competitive contributions. The presented model distinguishes between three main income classes. 1. Capital income from private firms is shown to be the result of an evolutionary competition between products. A direct consequence of this competition is Gibrat’s law suggesting a lognormal income distribution for small private firms. Taking into account an additional preferential attachment mechanism for large private firms the income distribution is supplemented by a power law (Pareto) tail. 2. Due to the division of labor a diversified labor market is seen as a non-competitive market. In this case wage income exhibits an exponential distribution. 3. Also included is income from a social insurance system. It can be approximated by a Gaussian peak. A consequence of this theory is that for short time intervals a fixed ratio of total labor (total capital) to net income exists (Cobb–Douglas relation). A comparison with empirical high resolution income data confirms this pattern of the total income distribution. The theory suggests that competition is the ultimate origin of the uneven income distribution.     

Exponential synchronization of stochastic perturbed complex networks with time-varying delays via periodically intermittent pinning

In this paper, the exponential synchronization is investigated for stochastic complex networks with time-varying delays via periodically intermittent pinning control. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory, stochastic analysis theory as well as linear matrix inequalities (LMI), the sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the exponential synchronization. Furthermore, the complex networks considered in this paper are more general than the models in previous works. Therefore, the application scope is enlarged. And the result is computationally efficient for the obtained condition. The numerical simulation is provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
