Differentiation formula in Stratonovich version for fractional Brownian sheet

We introduce two types of the Stratonovich stochastic integrals for two-parameter processes, and investigate the relationship of these Stratonovich integrals and various types of Skorohod integrals with respect to a fractional Brownian sheet. By using this relationship, we derive a differentiation formula in the Stratonovich sense for fractional Brownian sheet through Itô formula. Also the relationship between the two types of the Stratonovich integrals will be obtained and used to derive a differentiation formula in the Stratonovich sense. In this case, our proof is based on the repeated applications of differentiation formulas in the Stratonovich form for one-parameter Gaussian processes.     

On the algebraic structure of Abelian integrals for a kind of perturbed cubic Hamiltonian systems

The finite generators of Abelian integral are obtained, where Γh is a family of closed ovals defined by H(x,y)=x²+y²+ax⁴+bx²y²+cy⁴=h, h∈Σ, ac(4ac−b²)≠0, Σ=(0,h₁) is the open interval on which Γh is defined, f(x,y), g(x,y) are real polynomials in x and y with degree 2n+1 (n?2). And an upper bound of the number of zeros of Abelian integral I(h) is given by its algebraic structure for a special case a>0, b=0, c=1.     

Optimal policy for a dynamic,non-stationary,stochastic inventory problem with capacity commitment

This paper studies a single-product, dynamic, non-stationary, stochastic inventory problem with capacity commitment, in which a buyer purchases a fixed capacity from a supplier at the beginning of a planning horizon and the buyer’s total cumulative order quantity over the planning horizon is constrained with the capacity. The objective of the buyer is to choose the capacity at the beginning of the planning horizon and the order quantity in each period to minimize the expected total cost over the planning horizon. We characterize the structure of the minimum sum of the expected ordering, storage and shortage costs in a period and thereafter and the optimal ordering policy for a given capacity. Based on the structure, we identify conditions under which a myopic ordering policy is optimal and derive an equation for the optimal capacity commitment. We then use the optimal capacity and the myopic ordering policy to evaluate the effect of the various parameters on the minimum expected total cost over the planning horizon.     

Addendum to “On the Riesz potential operator of variable order from variable exponent Morrey space to variable exponent Campanato space”, Math Meth Appl Sci. 2020; 1–8

In the paper mentioned in the title, it is proved the boundedness of the Riesz potential operator of variable order α(x) from variable exponent Morrey space to variable exponent Campanato space, under certain assumptions on the variable exponents p(x) and λ(x) of the Morrey space. Assumptions on the exponents were different depending on whether $\frac{\alpha (x)p(x)?n+\lambda (x)}{p(x)}$ takes or not the critical values 0 or 1. In this note, we improve those results by unifying all the cases and covering the whole range $0?\frac{\alpha (x)p(x)?n+\lambda (x)}{p(x)}?1$. We also provide a correction to some minor technicality in the proof of Theorem 2 in the aforementioned paper.     

Resource allocation in rooted trees for VLSI applications

ABSTRACT

Several optimization problems of modifying the weight of vertices in rooted trees, some of which are special cases of the inverse 1-median problem, are solved. Such problems arise in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design of hardware security circuits, circuit synchronization, and analog-to-digital converters. These problems require assigning costly hardware (demands) to the leaves of rooted trees. One common property of these problems is that a resource allocated to an internal node can be shared by the entire sub-tree emanated at the node. Two types of problems are studied here. (1) A tree node employs an addition operation and the demands at the leaves are obtained by summing the resources allocated to nodes along the root-to-leaf paths. A linear-time bottom-up algorithm is shown to minimize the total resources allocated to tree nodes. (2) A tree’s node employs a multiplication operation and the demands at the leaves are obtained by multiplying the resources allocated to nodes along the root-to-leaf paths. A bottom-up dynamic programming algorithm is shown to minimize the total resources allocated to the tree’s nodes. While the above problems are usually solved by design engineers heuristically, this paper offers optimal solutions that can be easily programmed in CAD tools.     

Tightly controlled linear hashing without separate overflow storage

A hashing method is presented where the amount of storage required for a file can expand and shrink by very large factors. The performance of this method as measured by lookup time, insertion time and deletion time is very good even when the total storage utilization is as high as 90 percent. The user can completely control the storage utilization between two chosen bounds so that the storage requirement varies linearly with the number of records currently in the file.Unlike previous methods, no separate overflow storage pool is involved and one need not be concerned with expected and worst case requirements for overflow space. Indeed, the absence of requirements for such a separate overflow pool could allow the use of this method with primitive microprocessor operating systems.The choice of hashing functions is discussed and simulation results show great danger in blindly using the popular remainder method.Both an elementary analysis and simulation results are given.This research was supported by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada.     

Rough path properties for local time of symmetric α stable process

In this paper, we first prove that the local time associated with symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes is of bounded $p$-variation for any $p>\frac{2}{\alpha ?1}$ partly based on Barlow’s estimation of the modulus of the local time of such processes.  The fact that the local time is of bounded $p$-variation for any $p>\frac{2}{\alpha ?1}$ enables us to define the integral of the local time ${\int }_{?\infty }^{\infty }{?}_{?}^{\alpha ?1}f\left(x\right)d_x{L}_t^x$ as a Young integral for less smooth functions being of bounded $q$-variation with $1\le q<\frac{2}{3?\alpha }$. When $q\ge \frac{2}{3?\alpha }$, Young’s integration theory is no longer applicable. However, rough path theory is useful in this case. The main purpose of this paper is to establish a rough path theory for the integration with respect to the local times of symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes for $\frac{2}{3?\alpha }\le q<4$.     

动态输入率和服务率设定下的M/M/c模型扩展及其应用

为了解决M/M/c模型中恒定输入率和服务率假设与现实现象不符的问题,本文提出了随系统状态变化的输入概率和服务度,并通过新输入概率与平均输入率以及新服务度与平均服务率的结合分别构造了动态输入率和服务率。基于上述动态输入率和动态服务率,建立了依赖系统当前状态的状态转移过程,从状态转换强度方面优化了排队理论及其度量模型,同时,设计了结合系统实际的后确定法求解动态输入率与服务率的相关参数,从而构建了扩展M/M/c模型。由于输入率和服务率的动态性,扩展M/M/c模型具有比原排队论模型更广的适用范围和精度更高的模拟结果。最后,通过一个生活实例对新模型的有效性和实用性进行验证。     

The Boundedness of Composition Operators on Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov Spaces with Different Homogeneities

In this paper, we introduce new Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov Spaces associated with the different homogeneities of two singular integral operators. We then establish the boundedness of composition of two Calder′on–Zygmund singular integral operators with different homogeneities on these Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov spaces.     

Electro-mechanical sliding frictional contact of a piezoelectric half-plane under a rigid conducting punch

This paper investigates the two-dimensional sliding frictional contact of a piezoelectric half-plane in the plane strain state under the action of a rigid flat or a triangular punch. It is assumed that the punch is a perfect electrical conductor with a constant electric potential. By using the Fourier integral transform technique and the superposition theorem, the problem is reduced to a pair of coupled Cauchy singular integral equations and then is numerically solved to determine the unknown contact pressure and surface electric charge distribution. The effects of the friction coefficient and electro-mechanical loads on the normal contact stress, normal electric displacement, in-plane stress and in-plane electric displacement are discussed in detail. It is found that the friction coefficient has a significant effect on the electro-mechanical sliding frictional contact behaviors of the piezoelectric materials.
