(1) This is a subject to which very little study has been directed. The first to enunciate any proposition regarding it was Jacobi; but the solitary result which he reached received no attention from mathematicians,—certainly no fruitful attention,—during seventy years following the publication of it.Jacobi was concerned with a problem regarding the partition of a fraction with composite denominator (u1 − t1) (u2 − t2) … into other fractions whose denominators are factors of the original, where u1, u2, … are linear homogeneous functions of one and the same set of variables. The specific character of the partition was only definable by viewing the given fraction (u1−t1)−1 (u2−t2)−1…as expanded in series form, it being required that each partial fraction should be the aggregate of a certain set of terms in this series. Of course the question of the order of the terms in each factor of the original denominator had to be attended to at the outset, since the expansion for (a1x+b1y+c1z−t)−1 is not the same as for (b1y+c1z+a1x−t)−1. Now one general proposition to which Jacobi was led in the course of this investigation was that the coefficient ofx1−1x2−1x3−1…in the expansion ofy1−1u2−1u3−1…, whereis |a1b2c3…|−1, provided that in energy case the first term of uris that containing xr.

Presented in this paper is a solution in series form for the stresses in an infinite elastic solid which contains two rigid spherical inclusions of the same size. The stress field at infinity is assumed to be either hydrostatic tension or uniaxial tension in the direction of the common axis of the inclusions. The solution is based upon the Papkovich-Boussinesq displacement-function approach and makes use of the spherical dipolar harmonics developed by Sternberg and Sadowsky. The problem is closely related to, but turns out to be much more involved than, the corresponding problem of two spherical cavities solved by these authors.

The Given

The given article provides an analysis of collective discursive personalities of members of Internet fan communities which are devoted to performers working in two different music styles – pop and metal. Such kind of communicative interaction forms a unique discourse – the discourse of music fan Internet community which combines features of both subcultural group discourse (as the reason which led to the formation of the very fan community) and Internet discourse itself (as the environment for the given discourse). Through the use of content analysis method the authors find out both typical and specific psychological and cognitive features which fan community members implement during communication in the given discourse. These features include different ways of perception (visual vs. audial), major mindsets, emotionality level, etc. The main way of perception which is represented in the texts of conversations between pop music fan community members turns to be a visual one, while metal music fans are likely to have the audial way of perception as a major one. In the given discourse these features are represented by word groups of different perception semantics which are used by community members and belong to different parts of speech. The analysis of conversations in both fan groups demonstrates that concrete thinking could be characterized as a main way of thinking for fans of two aforementioned music styles. It is represented within the vocabulary and grammatical features used. Conversations between music fans of both types could be also characterized by a heightened emotionality level which directly depends on the specific character of music fanaticism. This specific character is based on over-positive attitude to favourite artists. The special attention is given to the system of language means which help to form general emotional background during communication process.

The Given

In this article, the iterative transformation method and homotopy perturbation transformation method are applied to calculate the solution of time-fractional Cauchy-reaction diffusion equations. In this technique, Shehu transformation is combined of the iteration and the homotopy perturbation techniques. Four examples are examined to show validation and the efficacy of the present methods. The approximate solutions achieved by the suggested methods indicate that the approach is easy to apply to the given problems. Moreover, the solution in series form has the desire rate of convergence and provides closed-form solutions. It is noted that the procedure can be modified in other directions of fractional order problems. These solutions show that the current technique is very straightforward and helpful to perform in applied sciences.

For each integer r we define the sequence pr(n) by We note that p-1(n) = p(n), the ordinary partition function. On account of this some authors set r = — k to make positive values of k correspond to positive powers of the generating function for p(n): We follow this convention here. In [3], Atkin proved the following theorem.

AbstractGiven a sequence of polynomials$\{x_k(q)\}_{k \ges 0}$, define the transformation$$y_n(q) = a^n\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\left( \matrix{n \cr i} \right)} b^{n-i}x_i(q)$$for$n\ges 0$. In this paper, we obtain the relation between the Jacobi continued fraction of the ordinary generating function ofyn(q) and that ofxn(q). We also prove that the transformation preservesq-TPr+1(q-TP) property of the Hankel matrix$[x_{i+j}(q)]_{i,j \ges 0}$, in particular forr= 2,3, implying ther-q-log-convexity of the sequence$\{y_n(q)\}_{n\ges 0}$. As applications, we can give the continued fraction expressions of Eulerian polynomials of typesAandB, derangement polynomials typesAandB, general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. In addition, we also prove the strongq-log-convexity of derangement polynomials typeB, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials and 3-q-log-convexity of general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. We also present a new proof of the result of Pólya and Szegö about the binomial convolution preserving the Stieltjes moment property and a new proof of the result of Zhu and Sun on the binomial transformation preserving strongq-log-convexity.

In order to fix our ideas an illustration of the theory for (a) a general elementary random process, (b) a compound Poisson process and (c) a Polya process shall be given here below following Ove Lundberg (On Random Processes and Their Application to Accident and Sickness Statistics, Inaug. Diss., Uppsala 1940).Let the continuous parameter t* be measured on an absolute scale from a given point of zero and consider the random function N* (t*) which takes only non-negative and integer values with N* (o) = o. This function constitutes a general elementary random process for which the conditional probability that N* (t*) = n relative to the hypothesis that shall be denoted , while the absolute probability that N* (t) = n i.e. shall be written If quantities of lower order than dt* are neglected, we may write for the conditional probability that N* (t* + dt*) = n + 1 relative to thehyp othesis that N* (t*) = n, i.e. is the intensity function of the process which is assumed to be a continuous function of t* (the condition of existence for the integral over the given interval of t* for every n > m may be substituted for the condition of continuity). The expectations for an arbitrary but fix value of t* of N* (t*) and p* (t*) will be denoted by the corresponding symbol with a bar so thatIf is uniformly bounded for all n in the interval o ≤ t* < T*, where T* is an arbitrary but fix value of t*, we have i.a. that

The Given

When experience is insufficient to permit a direct empirical determination of the premium rates of a Stop Loss Cover, we have to fall back upon mathematical models from the theory of probability—especially the collective theory of risk—and upon such assumptions as may be considered reasonable.The paper deals with some problems connected with such calculations of Stop Loss premiums for a portfolio consisting of non-life insurances. The portfolio was so large that the values of the premium rates and other quantities required could be approximated by their limit values, obtained according to theory when the expected number of claims tends to infinity.The calculations were based on the following assumptions.Let F(x, t) denote the probability that the total amount of claims paid during a given period of time is ≤ x when the expected number of claims during the same period increases from o to t. The net premium II (x, t) for a Stop Loss reinsurance covering the amount by which the total amount of claims paid during this period may exceed x, is defined by the formula and the variance of the amount (z—x) to be paid on account of the Stop Loss Cover, by the formula As to the distribution function F(x, t) it is assumed that wherePn(t) is the probability that n claims have occurred during the given period, when the expected number of claims increases from o to t,V(x) is the distribution function of the claims, giving the conditioned probability that the amount of a claim is ≤ x when it is known that a claim has occurred, andVn*(x) is the nth convolution of the function V(x) with itself.V(x) is supposed to be normalized so that the mean = I.
