We are studying the integral inequalitywhere all functions appearing are defined and increasing on the right half-axis and take the value zero at zero. We are interested in determining when the inequality admits solutions u(x) which are non-vanishing in a neighbourhood of zero. It is well-known that if ψ(x) is the identity function then no such solution exists. This due to the fact that the operator defined by the integral on the right-hand side of the equation is linear and compact. So if we are interested in non-trivial solutions it is natural to require that ψ(x) > 0 at least for all non-zero points in some neighbourhood of zero. One of the typical examples is the power function ψ(x) = xα, where α < 1. This situation was explored in [2]. The functions a(x) that admit non-zero solutions were characterized by Bushell in [1]. For a general approach to the problem we refer to [2], [3] and [4].

In this paper, using the new and improved form of H?lder?s integral inequality called H?lder-??can integral inequality, some new inequalities of the right-hand side of Hermite-Hadamard type inequality for prequasiinvex functions are established. The results obtained are compared with the known results. It is shown that the results obtained in this paper are better than those known ones.

There is among the fourth century works in the Central Museum at Athens a head found at Laurium. It is made of Parian marble but it has been completely discoloured by slag or refuse from the lead mines, and is now quite black. In its present condition it is quite impossible to obtain a satisfactory photograph of it, and the reproduction given of it in the figure is from a cast.It has been published, as far as I am aware, only in M. Kavvadias' catalogue. There it is described as a head of the Lykeian Apollo. This identification rests solely on a passage of Lucian, who mentions a statue of the Lykeian Apollo in the gymnasium at Athens.He says of it ( 7)—It will be seen from a glance at the photograph that the grounds for this identification are very slender. The left hand with the bow does not exist, and the only reason for supposing therefore that this is a head of the Lykeian Apollo consists in the fact that the right hand of the statue rests on the head. This in itself seems insufficient and, among other reasons, it is I think rendered impossible by the phrase For the hand is not idly resting, it is not a tired hand; the posture of the fingers is firm and energetic.

1. Let a, b be positive constants; and let y1, y2, …, yn be real exponents, not all equal, having arithmetic mean y defined by(here, and in what follows, the summation ∑ extends over the values i = 1, 2, …, n). Then it is clear thatsince the right-hand sides are the geometric means of the positive numbers whose arithmetic means stand on the left-hand sides. I know of no results, however, which relate the ratios and and I have had occasion recently to require such results. This note gives an inequality between these ratios, subject to certain restrictions on a and b.

1. The tabulated values of the Legendre polynomials suggest that the right-hand minimum of Pn(x) changes monotonically as n increases. Let xr, n be the value of x which gives the rth extreme value to the left of 1 of Pn(x). Then we can show thatwhere jr is the rth pösitive zero of J1(z), and that after some term the sequence Pn(xr, n) is monotonic with the moduli of the terms decreasing. We cannot, however, show that the sequence is monotonic from the place at which its terms become significant.

During the last thirty years an immense amount of research has been done on differential equations of the formwhere ε > 0 is small. It is usually assumed that the perturbing term on the right-hand side is a ‘good’ function of its arguments and that its dependence on t is purely trigonometric; this means that there is an expansion of the formwhere the ωn are constants, and that one may impose any conditions on the rate of convergence of the series which turn out to be convenient. Without loss of generality we can assumeand for convenience we shall sometimes write ω0 = 0. Often f is assumed to be periodic in t, in which case it is implicit that the period is independent of x and ẋ (We can also allow f to depend on ε, provided it does so in a sensible manner.)

The Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya inequality in question can be written in the formHere and throughout, all functions are assumed to be locally integrable on ]0,∞[, 1≤p≤∞,p-1+(p′)-1=1 (with similar conventions for q,r,s), is the usual norm on Lp(0,∞), and if the right hand side is finite, then (1.1) is understood to mean thatdefines a locally integrable function Kf for which (1.1) holds.

1. This paper is concerned with certain asymptotic properties of the solutions of the differential equationwhere dots indicate differentiation with respect to t, k is a small parameter, and f(x, ẋ, t) satisfies certain conditions which will be formulated below. Equations of this type occur frequently in non-linear mechanics; for k = 0 a system satisfying (1·1) behaves as a harmonic oscillator. To ensure the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of (1·1) it must be assumed that the right-hand side is bounded and satisfies a Lipschitz condition, at least for finite x, ẋ and say all t ≥ 0. The parameter k may be considered as a measure of the ‘smallness’ of the upper bound, and of the Lipschitz constant, of the right-hand side, and need not have any intrinsic physical significance.

We recall a theorem of Hurwitz [5]: let f(θ) be real-valued and periodic, f(θ) ≢ 0, andwhere an = bn = 0, 0 ≤ n < N. Then f(θ) has at least 2N sign changes in each period. A similar result with a trigonometric polynomial on the right-hand side of (1) had been obtained earlier by Sturm [7].

There are published several examples of a bronze medallion of Antoninus Pius, dated A.D. 140–144, with the following reverse (fig 33):AESCVLAPIVS in exergue.Ship to right under arched structure; one man is visible on ship; at prow, serpent springing to right; to right, river-god facing left with right hand extended in greeting; above him, indications of rocks; above them, three buildings and a tree.The casual observer would naturally interpret the scene as follows : “From under a bridge comes a ship in motion, from the prow of which a serpent leaps to the land; a river-god greets him; the inscription AESCVLAPIVS identifies the scene as the arrival of the sacred snake of Aesculapius at the Insula Tiberina, the Insula Tiberina being represented to the right, and a bridge across the Tiber (Pons Aemilius?) to the left; the river-god being the Tiber.”
