A Barban-Davenport-Halberstam theorem for integers with fixed number of prime divisors

The purpose of this paper is to study the distribution of integers with a given number prime divisors over arithmetic progressions, via using the large-sieve inequality, Huxley-Hooley contour and the zero-density estimate, and present a Barban-Davenport-Halberstam type theorem for it.     

Asymptotic behavior of intermediate points in the differential mean value theorem of divided differences with repetitions

By the explicit representation for the divided differences with repetitions involving cycle index of symmetric groups, this paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of the intermediate point of the mean value theorem of divided differences with repetitions. Our results generalize some recent interesting results such as the asymptotic expansions of the immediate points of the Taylor formula and the differential mean value theorem of divided differences with distinct points.     

On the local fractional derivative

We present the necessary conditions for the existence of the Kolwankar-Gangal local fractional derivatives (KG-LFD) and introduce more general but weaker notions of LFDs by using limits of certain integral averages of the difference-quotient. By applying classical results due to Stein and Zygmund (1965) [16] we show that the KG-LFD is almost everywhere zero in any given intervals. We generalize some of our results to higher dimensional cases and use integral approximation formulas obtained to design numerical schemes for detecting fractional dimensional edges in signal processing.     

On the probability of a rational outcome for generalized social welfare functions on three alternatives

In Kalai (2002) [10], Kalai investigated the probability of a rational outcome for a generalized social welfare function (GSWF) on three alternatives, when the individual preferences are uniform and independent. In this paper we generalize Kalai's results to a broader class of distributions of the individual preferences, and obtain new lower bounds on the probability of a rational outcome in several classes of GSWFs. In particular, we show that if the GSWF is monotone and balanced and the distribution of the preferences is uniform, then the probability of a rational outcome is at least 3/4, proving a conjecture raised by Kalai. The tools used in the paper are analytic: the Fourier-Walsh expansion of Boolean functions on the discrete cube, properties of the Bonamie-Beckner noise operator, and the FKG inequality.     

General non local boundary value problem for second order elliptic equation

In this paper we study a class of second order coefficient operators differential equation with general (possibly non local) boundary conditions. We obtain new results extending those given in a previous paper 1 . Existence, uniqueness and optimal regularity of the strict solution are proved in UMD spaces, using the well‐known Dore–Venni theorem.     

Controllability of nonlinear Hilfer fractional Langevin dynamical system

The main objective of this article is to prove the controllability result of a nonlinear Hilfer fractional Langevin dynamical system in an abstract-weighted space. This paper initiates with the persistence of the control formula for the Hilfer fractional Langevin dynamical system. Furthermore, As ensue is extended to the controllability result of Hilfer fractional Langevin dynamical system by the use of Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem. Ultimately, an example is furnished to demonstrate our outcomes.     

Full Bayesian analysis of claims reserving uncertainty

We revisit the gamma–gamma Bayesian chain-ladder (BCL) model for claims reserving in non-life insurance. This claims reserving model is usually used in an empirical Bayesian way using plug-in estimates for the variance parameters. The advantage of this empirical Bayesian framework is that allows us for closed form solutions. The main purpose of this paper is to develop the full Bayesian case also considering prior distributions for the variance parameters and to study the resulting sensitivities.
