We investigate the problem with perturbed periodic boundary values \[ \left\rbrace \begin{array}{ll}y^{\prime \prime \prime }(x) + a_2(x) y^{\prime \prime }(x) + a_1(x) y^{\prime }(x) + a_0(x) y(x) = f(x) , y^{(i)}(T) = c y^{(i)}(0), \ i = 0, 1, 2; \ 0 < c < 1 \end{array}\right.\] with $a_2, a_1, a_0 \in C[0,T]$ for some arbitrary positive real number $T$, by transforming the problem into an integral equation with the aid of a piecewise polynomial and utilizing the Fredholm alternative theorem to obtain a condition on the uniform norms of the coefficients $a_2$, $a_1$ and $a_0$ which guarantees unique solvability of the problem. Besides having theoretical value, this problem has also important applications since decay is a phenomenon that all physical signals and quantities (amplitude, velocity, acceleration, curvature, etc.) experience.
It is proved that a radical class $\sigma $ of lattice-ordered groups has exactly one cover if and only if it is an intersection of some $\sigma $-complement radical class and the big atom over $\sigma $.
Let k be a nonnegative integer or infinity. For a ∈ C ∪ {∞} we denote by Ek(a; f) the set of all a-points of f where an a-point of multiplicity m is counted m times if m ≤ k and k + 1 times if m > k. If Ek(a; f) = Ek(a; g) then we say that f and g share the value a with weight k. Using this idea of sharing values we study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions whose certain nonlinear differential polynomials share a nonzero polynomial with finite weight. The results of the paper improve and generalize the related results due to Xia and Xu (2011) and the results of Li and Yi (2011).
In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of difference polynomials sharing a small function. With the notions of weakly weighted sharing and relaxed weighted sharing we prove the following: Let f(z) and g(z) be two transcendental entire functions of finite order, and α(z) a small function with respect to both f(z) and g(z). Suppose that c is a non-zero complex constant and n ≥ 7 (or n ≥ 10) is an integer. If f n (z)(f(z)−1)f(z +c) and g n (z)(g(z) − 1)g(z + c) share ''(α(z), 2)'' (or (α(z), 2)∗ ), then f(z) ≡ g(z). Our results extend and generalize some well known previous results.
Let $FG$ be a group algebra of a group $G$ over a field $F$ and ${\mathcal U}(FG)$ the unit group of $FG$. It is a classical question to determine the structure of the unit group of the group algebra of a finite group over a finite field. In this article, the structure of the unit group of the group algebra of the non-abelian group $G$ with order $21$ over any finite field of characteristic $3$ is established. We also characterize the structure of the unit group of $FA_4$ over any finite field of characteristic $3$ and the structure of the unit group of $FQ_{12}$ over any finite field of characteristic $2$, where $Q_{12}=\langle x, y; x^6=1, y^2=x^3, x^y=x^{-1} \rangle $.
As a first step in the search for curvature homogeneous unit tangent sphere bundles we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a manifold to have a unit tangent sphere bundle with constant scalar curvature. We give complete classifications for low dimensions and for conformally flat manifolds. Further, we determine when the unit tangent sphere bundle is Einstein or Ricci-parallel.
In this paper, we consider the classification of unital extensions of $AF$-algebras by their six-term exact sequences in $K$-theory. Using the classification theory of $C^*$-algebras and the universal coefficient theorem for unital extensions, we give a complete characterization of isomorphisms between unital extensions of $AF$-algebras by stable Cuntz algebras. Moreover, we also prove a classification theorem for certain unital extensions of $AF$-algebras by stable purely infinite simple $C^*$-algebras with nontrivial $K_1$-groups up to isomorphism.
The univariate conditioning of copulas is studied, yielding a construction method for copulas based on an a priori given copula. Based on the gluing method, g-ordinal sum of copulas is introduced and a representation of copulas by means of g-ordinal sums is given. Though different right conditionings commute, this is not the case of right and left conditioning, with a special exception of Archimedean copulas. Several interesting examples are given. Especially, any Ali-Mikhail-Haq copula with a given parameter λ > 0 allows to construct via conditioning any Ali-Mikhail-Haq copula with parameter μ \in [0,λ].
Let $H(K)$ be the Hilbert space with reproducing kernel $K$. This paper characterizes some sufficient conditions for a sequence to be a universal interpolating sequence for $H(K)$.
Dynamic soil properties are important parameters for the design of structures subjected to various dynamic/cyclic loading such as earthquake which can be obtained by in situ and laboratory measurements. Numerous empirical and mathematical models have been proposed to predict the dynamic properties of soils, including maximum shear modulus (Gmax), normalized shear modulus (G/Gmax - γ) curve, reference shear strain (γr), minimum damping ratio (Dmin) and damping ratio (D - γ) curve. However, the majority of the existing models were proposed for specific soil types, loading characteristics, initial soil fabrics and strain ranges. This paper proposes five universal models to estimate the Gmax, γr and Dmin values, and also G/Gmax - γ and D - γ curves using a database that contains 117 tests on 5 different granular soils. The proposed models include the effect of grading characteristics, void ratio, mean effective confining pressure, consolidation stress ratio (KC) and specimen preparation method. The models are validated using experimental data from previous studies for granular soils. The results indicate that the proposed models are capable of evaluating the dynamic properties of granular soil., Meysam Bayat., and Obsahuje bibliografii
