For sequences of rational functions, analytic in some domain, a theorem of Montel’s type is proved. As an application, sequences of rational functions of the best $L_p$-approximation with an unbounded number of finite poles are considered.
This paper deals with basic stability properties of a two-term linear autonomous fractional difference system involving the Riemann-Liouville difference. In particular, we focus on the case when eigenvalues of the system matrix lie on a boundary curve separating asymptotic stability and unstability regions. This issue was posed as an open problem in the paper J. Čermák, T. Kisela, and L. Nechvátal (2013). Thus, the paper completes the stability analysis of the corresponding fractional difference system.
This study aims at developing an artificial intelligence-based (ANN based) analytical method to analyze earthquake performances of the reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. In the scope of the present study, 66 real RC buildings with four to ten storeys were subject to performance analysis according to 19 parameters considered effective on the performance of RC buildings. In addition, the level of performance of these buildings in case of an earthquake was determined on the basis of the 4-grade performance levels specified in Turkish Earthquake Code-2007 (TEC-2007). Thus, an output performance data group was created for the analyzed buildings, in accordance with the input data. Thanks to the ANN-based fast evaluation algorithm mentioned above and developed within the scope of the proposed project study, it will be possible to make an economic and rapid evaluation of four to ten-storey RC buildings in Turkey with great accuracy (about 80%). Detection of post-earthquake performances of RC buildings in the scope of the present study will facilitate reaching important results in terms of buildings, which will be beneficial for Civil Engineers of Turkey and similar countries.
Over a 7-year period, parasites have been collected from 28 species of groupers (Serranidae, Epinephelinae) in the waters off New Caledonia. Host-parasite and parasite-host lists are provided, with a total of 337 host-parasite combinations, including 146 parasite identifications at the species level. Results are included for isopods (5 species), copepods (19), monogeneans (56), digeneans (28), cestodes (12), and nematodes (12). When results are restricted to those 14 fish species for which more than five specimens were examined and to parasites identified at the species level, 109 host-parasite combinations were recorded, with 63 different species, of which monogeneans account for half (32 species), and an average of 4.5 parasite species per fish species. Digenean records were compared for 16 fish species shared with the study of Cribb et al. (2002); based on a total of 90 parasite records identified at the species level, New Caledonia has 17 new records and only seven species were already known from other locations. We hypothesize that the present results represent only a small part of the actual biodiversity, and we predict a biodiversity of 10 different parasite species and 30 host-parasite combinations per serranid. A comparison with a study on Heron Island (Queensland, Australia) by Lester and Sewell (1989) was attempted: of the four species of fish in common and in a total of 91 host-parasite combinations, only six parasites identified at the species level were shared. This suggests strongly that insufficient sampling impairs proper biogeographical or ecological comparisons. Probably only 3% of the parasite species of coral reef fish are already known in New Caledonia.
We present a simple proof of a Banach-Stone type Theorem. The method used in the proof also provides an answer to a conjecture of Cao, Reilly and Xiong.
This paper presents an adroit utilization of dimensional analysis-based model theory by which the deformation of a structure - however complex - can be elegantly and easily obtained. The structure is loaded by a concentrated lateral load of arbitrary location and magnitude. The relevant technique is outlined in some details; therefore the reader is advised to follow the presented routine closely. By doing so, he will be impressed by the prowees and economy of the described process. In the Preamble, the more important relevant theorems and relations - without proofs - are given in greatly condensed forms. This summary will help the reader to understand the subsequent application presented. Full treatment of the theories and practice of applied dimensional model theory can be found in [1], which the interested and motivated reader is advised to consult. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
We are interested in algorithms for constructing surfaces Γ of possibly small measure that separate a given domain Ω into two regions of equal measure. Using the integral formula for the total gradient variation, we show that such separators can be constructed approximatively by means of sign changing eigenfunctions of the p-Laplacians, p → 1, under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. These eigenfunctions turn out to be limits of steepest descent methods applied to suitable norm quotients.
Let $S$ be a non-empty subset of positive integers. A partition of a positive integer $n$ into $S$ is a finite nondecreasing sequence of positive integers $a_1, a_2, \dots , a_r$ in $S$ with repetitions allowed such that $\sum ^r_{i=1} a_i = n$. Here we apply Pólya’s enumeration theorem to find the number $¶(n;S)$ of partitions of $n$ into $S$, and the number ${\mathrm DP}(n;S)$ of distinct partitions of $n$ into $S$. We also present recursive formulas for computing $¶(n;S)$ and ${\mathrm DP}(n;S)$.
We introduce and study some new subclasses of starlike, convex and close-to-convex functions defined by the generalized Bessel operator. Inclusion relations are established and integral operator in these subclasses is discussed.
