Infinite horizon risk-sensitive control of diffusions without any blanket stability assumptions

We consider the infinite horizon risk-sensitive problem for nondegenerate diffusions with a compact action space, and controlled through the drift. We only impose a structural assumption on the running cost function, namely near-monotonicity, and show that there always exists a solution to the risk-sensitive Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation, and that any minimizer in the Hamiltonian is optimal in the class of stationary Markov controls. Under the additional hypothesis that the coefficients of the diffusion are bounded, and satisfy a condition that limits (even though it still allows) transient behavior, we show that any minimizer in the Hamiltonian is optimal in the class of all admissible controls. In addition, we present a sufficient condition, under which the solution of the HJB is unique (up to a multiplicative constant), and establish the usual verification result. We also present some new results concerning the multiplicative Poisson equation for elliptic operators in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$.

Exact Periodic Solutions to Generalized BBM Equation and Relevant Conclusions

In this paper, we consider generalized BBM equation with nonlinear terms of high order.In the case of p=1/2, p=1 and p=2, the exact periodic solutions to G-BBM equation are obtained by means of proper transformation, which degrades the order of nonlinear terms. And we prove that if p ≠ 1/2,p ≠ 1 or p ≠ 2, G-BBM equation does not exist this kind of periodic solution.

Let , , , , be the usual operators on classes of rings: and for isomorphic and homomorphic images of rings and , , respectively for subrings, direct, and subdirect products of rings. If is a class of commutative rings with identity (and in general of any kind of algebraic structures), then the class is known to be the variety generated by the class . Although the class is in general a proper subclass of the class for many familiar varieties . Our goal is to give an example of a class of commutative rings with identity such that . As a consequence we will describe the structure of two partially ordered monoids of operators.

     

Hydrodynamics of a particle impact on a wall

The problem of a particle impacting on a wall, a common phenomenon in particle-laden flows in the minerals and process industries, is investigated computationally using a spectral-element method with the grid adjusting to the movement of the particle towards the wall. Remeshing is required at regular intervals to avoid problems associated with mesh distortion and the constantly reducing maximum time-step associated with integration of the non-linear convective terms of the Navier–Stokes equations. Accurate interpolation between meshes is achieved using the same high-order interpolation employed by the spectral-element flow solver. This approach allows the full flow evolution to be followed from the initial approach, through impact and afterwards as the flow relaxes. The method is applied to the generic two-dimensional and three-dimensional bluff body geometries, the circular cylinder and the sphere. The principal case reported here is that of a particle colliding normally with a wall and sticking. For the circular cylinder, non-normal collisions are also considered. The impacts are studied for moderate Reynolds numbers up to approximately 1200. A cylindrical body impacting on a wall produces two vortices from its wake that convect away from the cylinder along the wall before stalling while lifting induced wall vorticity into the main flow. The situation for a sphere impact is similar, except in this case a vortex ring is formed from the wake vorticity. Again, secondary vorticity from the wall and particle plays a role. At higher Reynolds number, the secondary vorticity tends to form a semi-annular structure encircling the primary vortex core. At even higher Reynolds numbers, the secondary annular structure fragments into semi-discrete structures, which again encircle and orbit the primary core. Vorticity fields and passive tracer particles are used to characterize the interaction of the vortical structures. The evolution of the pressure and viscous drag coefficients during a collision are provided for a typical sphere impact. For a Reynolds number greater than approximately 1000 for a sphere and 400 for a cylinder, the primary vortex core produced by the impacting body undergoes a short-wavelength instability in the azimuthal/spanwise direction. Experimental visualisation using dye carried out in water is presented to validate the predictions.

Study of Hopficity in Certain Classes of Rings

The main results proved in this paper are:

1. For any non-zero vector space V _Dover a division ring D, the ring R= End(V _D) is hopfian as a ring

2. Let Rbe a reduced π-regular ring &; B(R) the boolean ring of idempotents of R. If B(R) is hopfian so is R.The converse is not true even when Ris strongly regular.

3. Let Xbe a completely regular spaceC(X) (resp. C ^?(X)) the ring of real valued (resp. bounded real valued) continuous functions on X. Let Rbe any one of C(X) or C ^?(X). Then Ris an exchange ring if &; only if Xis zero dimensional in the sense of Katetov. for any infinite compact totally disconnected space X C(X) is an exchange ring which is not von Neumann regular.

4. Let Rbe a reduced commutative exchange ring. If Ris hopfian so is the polynomial ring R[T ₁,…,T _n] in ncommuting indeterminates over Rwhere nis any integer ≥ 1.

5. Let Rbe a reduced exchange ring. If Ris hopfian so is the polynomial ring R[T].     

Expansion of analytic functions in q-orthogonal polynomials

A classical result on the expansion of an analytic function in a series of Jacobi polynomials is extended to a class of q-orthogonal polynomials containing the fundamental Askey–Wilson polynomials and their special cases. The function to be expanded has to be analytic inside an ellipse in the complex plane with foci at ±1. Some examples of explicit expansions are discussed.      

Solution of the Dipoles in Noncommutative Space with Minimal Length *

The single neutral spin-half particle with electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment moving in an external electromagnetic field is studied. The Aharonov-Casher effect and He-McKellar-Wilkens effect are emphatically discussed in noncommutative (NC) space with minimal length. The energy eigenvalues of the systems are obtained exactly in terms of the Jacobi polynomials. Additionally, a special case is discussed and the related energy spectra are plotted.
