Thinning Operator

The thinning operators play an important role in the analysis of integer-valued autoregressive models, and the most widely used is the binomial thinning. Inspired by the theory about extended Pascal triangles, a new thinning operator named extended binomial is introduced, which is a general case of the binomial thinning. Compared to the binomial thinning operator, the extended binomial thinning operator has two parameters and is more flexible in modeling. Based on the proposed operator, a new integer-valued autoregressive model is introduced, which can accurately and flexibly capture the dispersed features of counting time series. Two-step conditional least squares (CLS) estimation is investigated for the innovation-free case and the conditional maximum likelihood estimation is also discussed. We have also obtained the asymptotic property of the two-step CLS estimator. Finally, three overdispersed or underdispersed real data sets are considered to illustrate a superior performance of the proposed model.

A collocation finite element method for solving fractional diffusion equation for force-free case is considered. In this paper, we develop an approximation method based on collocation finite elements by cubic B-spline functions to solve fractional diffusion equation for force-free case formulated with Riemann-Liouville operator. Some numerical examples of interest are provided to show the accuracy of the method. A comparison between exact analytical solution and a numerical one has been made.

The formula for pressure difference across a charged conducting liquid surface has conventionally been derived by adding a Maxwell stress term to the pressure-difference formula for the field-free case. As far as can be established, no derivation applying direct energy-based methods to the charged-surface case has ever been clearly formulated. This paper presents a first-principles variational derivation, starting from the laws of thermodynamics and modelled on Gibbs’s (1875) approach to the field-free case. The derivation applies to the static equilibrium situation. The method is to treat the charged liquid and its environment as a heterogeneous system in thermodynamic equilibrium, and consider the effects of a small virtual variation in the shape of the conducting-liquid surface. Expressions can be obtained for virtual changes in the free energies of relevant system components and for the virtual electrical work done on the system. By converting the space integral of the variation in electrostatic field energy to an integral over the surface of the liquid electrode, the usual pressure-difference formula is retrieved. It is also shown how the problem can be formulated, in various ways, as a free-energy problem in a situation involving electric stresses and capacitance. The most satisfactory approach involves the definition of an unfamiliar form of free energy, that can be seen as the electrical analogue of the Gibbs free energy and may have use in other contexts.

A robust methodology to simulate virtually the residual stresses pattern in welded steel plates is presented. The methodology is applied to the structural analysis of typical welded plates belonging to ship structures, and the effect of residual stresses on the elastoplastic behavior of plates loaded axially is analyzed in comparison to the residual stress free case, both for tension and compression and including initial imperfections. Residual stresses affect in different manner plates with different geometries; thus a parametric study is performed covering the usual range of variation of the most important plate parameters that control the strength of the plates, more precisely the slenderness and the aspect ratio. The results from finite elements analysis are compared with codes and most established formulations and recommendations of applicability in the prediction of load-shortening curves for hull’s bending strength evaluation, ultimate strength and ultimate strain of plate elements are made.

International audience We give explicit formulas for the number $U_n(N)$ of closed polygonal paths of length $N$ (starting from the origin) whose steps are $n^{\textrm{th}}$ roots of unity, as well as asymptotic expressions for these numbers when $N \rightarrow \infty$. We also prove that the sequences $(U_n(N))_{N \geq 0}$ are $P$-recursive for each fixed $n \geq 1$ and leave open the problem of determining the values of $N$ for which the $\textit{dual}$ sequences $(U_n(N))_{n \geq 1}$ are $P$-recursive. Nous donnons des formules explicites pour le nombre $U_n(N)$ de chemins polygonaux fermés de longueur $N$ (débutant à l'origine) dont les pas sont des racines $n$-ièmes de l'unité, ainsi que des expressions asymptotiques pour ces nombres lorsque $N \rightarrow \infty$. Nous démontrons aussi que les suites $(U_n(N))_{N \geq 0}$ sont $P$-récursives pour chaque $n \geq 1$ fixé et laissons ouvert le problème de déterminer les valeurs de $N$ pour lesquelles les suites $\textit{duales}$ $(U_n(N))_{n \geq 1}$ sont $P$-récursives.

The method for processing of the measurement results obtained from Comite International des Poids et Measures (CIPM) Key, Regional Metrology Organizations (RMO) or supplementary comparisons, from the proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons and the calibrations is proposed. It is named by authors as adjustment by least square method (LSM). Additive and multiplicative parameters for each measuring standard of every particular laboratory will be the results of this adjustment. As well as the parameters for each artifact. The parameters of the measurements standards are their additive and multiplicative degrees of equivalence from the comparison and the estimations of the systematic errors (biases) from calibrations. The parameters of the artifacts are the key comparisons reference value from the comparison and the assigned quantity values from the calibrations. The adjustment is considered as a way to solving a problem of processing the great amount of homogeneous measurements with many measuring standards at a different comparison levels (CIPM, RMO or supplementary), including connected problems. Four different cases of the adjustments are considered. The first one is a free case of adjustment. It was named so because of the fact that none of participants has any advantage except their uncertainties of measurements. The second one is a fixed case of adjustment. Measuring results of RMO and supplementary comparisons are rigidly linked to additive and multiplicative parameters of measuring standards of particular laboratories participated in CIPM key comparisons. The third one is a case of adjustment with dependent equations. This one is not so rigidly linked of the new comparisons results to previous or to some other comparisons as for fixed case. It means that the new results of comparisons are influenced by the known additive and multiplicative parameters and vice versa. The fourth one is a free case of adjustment with additional summary equations. In that case certain checking equations are added to the system of equations. So, the sum of parameters multiplied by their weights of all measurement standards for particular laboratories participated in comparisons should be equal to zero.
