Existence of a solution for a Signorini contact problem for Maxwell-Norton materials

The aim of this article is to study the quasistatic evolutionof a Maxwell–Norton three-dimensional viscoelastic solidwith contact constraints. After introducing the appropiate functionalframework, we will discretize the problem in time using an implicitscheme whose resultant variational inequality is well posed.By using monotonicity arguments together with compensated compactnesstechniques, we will prove that the corresponding discrete solutionconverges to a solution of the continuous problem.     

完全可分的三元系TS(v,4)的支撑集

§ 1　 IntroductionA triple system of order v and indexλ,denoted by TS(v,λ) ,is a collection of3- ele-mentsubsets Aof a v- set X,so thatevery 2 - subsetof X appears in preciselyλ subsets of A.L etλ≥ 2 and (X,A) be a TS(v,λ) .If Acan be partitioned into t(≥ 2 ) parts A1,A2 ,...,Atsuch that each (X,Ai) is a TS(v,λi) for 1≤ i≤ t,then (X,A) is called de-composable.Otherwise it is indecomposable.If t=λ,λi=1for 1≤ i≤ t,the TS(v,λ) (X,A) is called completely decomposable.It …     

Convergent Algorithm Based on Progressive Regularization for Solving Pseudomonotone Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we extend the Moreau-Yosida regularization of monotone variational inequalities to the case of weakly monotone and pseudomonotone operators. With these properties, the regularized operator satisfies the pseudo-Dunn property with respect to any solution of the variational inequality problem. As a consequence, the regularized version of the auxiliary problem algorithm converges. In this case, when the operator involved in the variational inequality problem is Lipschitz continuous (a property stronger than weak monotonicity) and pseudomonotone, we prove the convergence of the progressive regularization introduced in Refs. 1, 2.     

On a theorem of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund

Let {ϕn(x)} be an orthonormal system on the closed interval [0,1], and let ∥ϕ _n ∥_∞ ≤M _n . In 1937 Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund obtained an estimate of the norm inL _q [0,1] of the sum of the series ∑ _n=1 ^∞ c _n ϕ _n (x) under the condition that {M _n } is monotone increasing. In this paper it is shown that this condition cannot be discarded. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 63, No. 3, pp. 386–390, March, 1998. The author wishes to thank V. I.

The completely positive and doubly nonnegative completion problems

We prove the following. Let G be an undirected graph. Every partially specified symmetric matrix, the graph of whose specified entries is G and each of whose fully specified submatrices is completely positive (equal to BB^T for some entrywise nonnegative matrix B), may be completed to a completely positive matrix if and only if G is a block-clique graph (a chordal graph in which distinct maximal cliques overlap in at most one vertex). The same result holds for matrices that are doubly nonnegative (entrywise nonnegative and positive semidefinite).     

A note on δ-I-sets

We characterize δ-I-sets, discuss the relation between δ-sets, δ-I-sets and I _δ-sets and generalize some of the results.     

The logarithmic norm. History and modern theory

In his 1958 thesis Stability and Error Bounds, Germund Dahlquist introduced the logarithmic norm in order to derive error bounds in initial value problems, using differential inequalities that distinguished between forward and reverse time integration. Originally defined for matrices, the logarithmic norm can be extended to bounded linear operators, but the extensions to nonlinear maps and unbounded operators have required a functional analytic redefinition of the concept.This compact survey is intended as an elementary, but broad and largely self-contained, introduction to the versatile and powerful modern theory. Its wealth of applications range from the stability theory of IVPs and BVPs, to the solvability of algebraic, nonlinear, operator, and functional equations. In memory of Germund Dahlquist (1925–2005).AMS subject classification (2000) 65L05     

Second-order properties of the loss probability inM/M/s/s +c systems

The Erlang loss function, which gives the steady state loss probability in anM/M/s/s system, has been extensively studied in the literature. In this paper, we look at the similar loss probability inM/M/s/s + c systems and an extension of it to nonintegral number of servers and queue capacity. We study its monotonicity properties. We show that the loss probability is convex in the queue capacity, and that it is convex in the traffic intensity if is below some ^* and concave if is greater that ^*, for a broad range of number of servers and queue capacities. We prove that the one-server loss system is the onlyM/M/s/s +c system for which the loss probability is concave in the traffic intensity in all its range.Research supported by Grant BD/645/90-RM from Junta Nacional de Investigação Científica e Tecnológica.On leave from: Departamento de Matemática, Instituto Superior Técnico, Av.

Electrochemical synthesis of 1,2,3,4,4,5,6-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines

It has been shown that chemical oxidation of the methyl ester of 3,4,5-trimethoxycarbonyl-1,2,6-trimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine to the pyridinium salt, requiring forcing experimental conditions, may be replaced by electrochemical oxidation. On electrochemical reduction of 3,4,5-trimethoxycarbonyl-1,2,6-trimethylpyridinium perchlorate in the presence of alkylating agents 1,2,3,4,4,5,6-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines are obtained. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 226–237, February, 2007.
