REMARKS ON THE LIFESPAN FOR THE SOLUTION TO NONLINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS IN THREE SPACE DIMENSIONS

The authors consider the Cauchy problem for the following nonlinear wave equationswhere x ∈ R3, t ≥ 0, ε > 0 is a small parameter, and obtain the sharp bounds for the lifespan of solution to (0.1). Specially, it is proved that there exist two constants C1 and C2, which are independent of ε, then the lifespan T(ε) satisfies the folowing inequalities

增长曲线模型中回归系数的广义根方估计

本文对增长曲线模型中的回归系数B提出了一种新的估计形式－广义根方估计的B（K），其中K＝diag(k1,k2,…，kp）并证明了通过广义根方偏参数ki(i=1,2,…，p）的适当选取可使得该估计在均方误差矩阵的意义下优于已有的LS估计和根方估计，及广义根方估计是可容许估计，本文还给出了选取广义根方偏参数的两种方法，算法及一个应用实例。     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> linear interpolator for missing values in time series

We propose a minimum mean absolute error linear interpolator (MMAELI), based on theL ₁ approach. A linear functional of the observed time series due to non-normal innovations is derived. The solution equation for the coefficients of this linear functional is established in terms of the innovation series. It is found that information implied in the innovation series is useful for the interpolation of missing values. The MMAELIs of the AR(1) model with innovations following mixed normal andt distributions are studied in detail. The MMAELI also approximates the minimum mean squared error linear interpolator (MMSELI) well in mean squared error but outperforms the MMSELI in mean absolute error. An application to a real series is presented. Extensions to the general ARMA model and other time series models are discussed.

Operator–valued Fourier multiplier theorems on Besov spaces

We investigate analytical properties of a measure geometric Laplacian which is given as the second derivative w.r.t. two atomless finite Borel measures μ and ν with compact supports supp μ ? supp ν on the real line. This class of operators includes a generalization of the well‐known Sturm‐Liouville operator as well as of the measure geometric Laplacian given by . We obtain for this differential operator under both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions similar properties as known in the classical Lebesgue case for the euclidean Laplacian like Gauß‐Green‐formula, inversion formula, compactness of the resolvent and its kernel representation w.r.t. the corresponding Green function. Finally we prove nuclearity of the resolvent and give two representations of its trace.     

Single-server queues with spatially distributed arrivals

Consider a queueing system where customers arrive at a circle according to a homogeneous Poisson process. After choosing their positions on the circle, according to a uniform distribution, they wait for a single server who travels on the circle. The server's movement is modelled by a Brownian motion with drift. Whenever the server encounters a customer, he stops and serves this customer. The service times are independent, but arbitrarily distributed. The model generalizes the continuous cyclic polling system (the diffusion coefficient of the Brownian motion is zero in this case) and can be interpreted as a continuous version of a Markov polling system. Using Tweedie's lemma for positive recurrence of Markov chains with general state space, we show that the system is stable if and only if the traffic intensity is less than one. Moreover, we derive a stochastic decomposition result which leads to equilibrium equations for the stationary configuration of customers on the circle. Steady-state performance characteristics are determined, in particular the expected number of customers in the system as seen by a travelling server and at an arbitrary point in time.     

Overall values of conventional discrepancy indices for related and unrelated models of a non-centrosymmetric crystal with a centrosymmetric group

Theoretical expressions for the overall values of the conventional discrepancy indicesR(F) andR(I) are derived for a non-centrosymmetric crystal with a centrosymmetric group by taking the centrosymmetric group and a part of the other atoms in the unit cell as the trial structure. These results are used to obtain tables of values of these indices in terms of the parameter σ _1c ² and σ ₁ ² which define the fractional contribution to the local mean intensity from the centrosymmetric group and all the known atoms respectively.

The self-consistent mean spherical approximation for the one-component plasma

The consequences of choosing the adjustable hard-core diameter in the mean spherical approximation for the one-component plasma so as to achieve thermodynamic consistency between the energy and compressibility equations are investigated. Such a choice is found to be possible only for >8.5 and, although the resulting correlation functions are discontinuous, the height of the main peak in the static structure factor is remarkably accurate. Two especially noteworthy aspects of the thermodynamic results are that the compressibility equation is much more accurate than in any previous approximation free of input from computer simulations and that the nonstatic part of the internal energy has a ^1/4 dependence in the strong coupling limit in agreement with Monte Carlo data.
