SynopsisIn this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Lipschitz minimisers of a functional of the typewhere h is a convex function converging to infinity at zero and u is subjected to displacement boundary conditions. We provide examples of body forces f for which the infimum of J(.) is not attained.

Arch-profiles of bistable arches, in their two force-free equilibrium states, are related to each other. This bilateral relationship is derived for arches with fixed–fixed boundary conditions in two forms: a nonlinear single-variable equation for analysis and a closed-form analytical expression for design. Some symmetrical features of shape as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for bistability are presented as corollaries. Analysis and design of arch-profiles using the bilateral relationship are illustrated through examples.

SynopsisThis paper studies the equationwhere the differential operator Ln is defined byand a necessary and sufficient condition that all oscillatory solutions of the above equation converge to zero asymptotically is presented. The results obtained extend and improve previous ones of Kusano and Onose, and Singh, even in the usual case wherewhere N is an integer with l≦N≦n–1.

AbstractWe present both necessary and sufficient conditions for a convex closed shape such that for every convex function the average integral over the shape does not exceed the average integral over its boundary.It is proved that this inequality holds for n-dimensional parallelotopes, n-dimensional balls, and convex polytopes having the inscribed sphere (tangent to all its facets) with the centre in the centre of mass of its boundary.

Let K be a subset of BV(0, 1)—the space of functions of bounded variation on the closed interval [0, 1]. By the Hausdorff moment problem for K we shall mean the determination of necessary and sufficient conditions that corresponding to a given sequence μ = {μn|n = 0, 1, 2, …} there should be a function α ∈ K so that(1)For various collections K this problem has been solved—see (3, Chapter III)By the trigonometric moment problem for K we shall mean the determination of necessary and sufficient conditions that corresponding to a sequence c = {cn|n = 0, ± 1, ± 2, …} there should be a function α ∈ K so that(2)For various collections K this problem has also been solved—see, for example (4, Chapter IV, § 4). It is noteworthy that these two problems have been solved for essentially the same collections K.

The problem of determining necessary and sufficient conditions bearing upon the numbers a2 and a3 in order that the polynomial z + a2z2 + a3z3 be univalent in the unit disk |z| < 1 was solved by Brannan ([3], [4]) and by Cowling and Royster [6], at about the same time. For his investigation Brannan used the following result due to Dieudonné [7] and the well-known Cohn rule [9].THEOREM A (Dieudonné criterion). The polynomial1is univalent in |z| < 1 if and only if for every Θ in [0, π/2] the associated polynomial2does not vanish in |z| < 1. For Θ = 0, (2) is to be interpreted as the derivative of (1).The procedure of Cowling and Royster was based on the observation that is univalent in |z| < 1 if and only if for all α such that 0 ≧ |α| ≧ 1, α ≠ 1 the functionis regular in the unit disk.

This paper continues the study appearing in (9) and (10) of the combinatorial properties of a matrix A of m rows and n columns, all of whose entries are 0's and l's. Let the sum of row i of A be denoted by ri and let the sum of column j of A be denoted by Sj. We call R = (r1, … , rm) the row sum vector and S = (s1 . . , sn) the column sum vector of A. The vectors R and S determine a class1.1consisting of all (0, 1)-matrices of m rows and n columns, with row sum vector R and column sum vector S. The majorization concept yields simple necessary and sufficient conditions on R and S in order that the class 21 be non-empty (4; 9). Generalizations of this result and a critical survey of a wide variety of related problems are available in (6).

Following (2) we say that a measure μ on a ring is semifinite ifClearly every σ-finite measure is semifinite, but the converse fails.In § 1 we present several reformulations of semifiniteness (Theorem 2), and characterize those semifinite measures μ on a ring that possess unique extensions to the σ-ring generated by (Theorem 3). Theorem 3 extends a classical result for σ-finite measures (3, 13.A). Then, in § 2, we apply the results of § 1 to the study of product measures; in the process, we compare the “semifinite product measure” (1; 2, pp. 127ff.) with the product measure described in (4, pp. 229ff.), finding necessary and sufficient conditions for their equality; see Theorem 6 and, in relation to it, Theorem 7.

Problems involving Egyptian fractions (rationals whose numerator is 1 and whose denominator is a positive integer) have been extensively studied. (See [1] for a more complete bibliography). Some of the most interesting questions, many still unsolved, concern the solvability ofwhere k is fixed.In [2] Rav proved necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvabilty of the above equation, as a consequence of some other theorems which are rather complicated in their proofs. In this note we give a short, elementary proof of this theorem, and at the same time generalize it slightly.
