For scalar variational problemssubject to linear boundary values, we determine completely those integrandsW: ℝn→ ℝ for which the minimum is not attained, thereby completing previous efforts such as a recent nonexistence theorem of Chipot [9] and unifying a large number of examples and counterexamples in the literature.As a corollary, we show that in case of nonattainment (and providedWgrows superlinearly at infinity), every minimising sequence converges weakly but not strongly inW1,1(Ω) to a unique limit, namely the linear deformation prescribed at the boundary, and develops fine structure everywhere in Ω, that is to say every Young measure associated with the sequence of its gradients is almost-nowhere a Dirac mass.Connections with solid–solid phase transformations are indicated.

AbstractConsider the nonlinear neutral equationwhere pi(t), hi(t), gj(t), Q(t) Є C[t0, ∞), limt→∞hi(t) = ∞, limt→∞gj(t) = ∞ i Є Im = {1, 2, …, m}, j Є In = {1, 2, …, n}. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition (2) for this equation to have a nonoscillatory solution x(t) with limt→∞ inf|x(t)| > 0 (Theorems 5 and 6) or to have a bounded nonoscillatory solution x(t) with limt→∞ inf|x(t)| > 0 (Theorem 7).

Frobenius-Rabinowitsch's theorem provides us with a necessary and sufficient condition for the class-number of a complex quadratic field with negative discriminant D to be one in terms of the primality of the values taken by the quadratic polynomial with discriminant Don consecutive integers (See [1], [7]). M. D. Hendy extended Frobenius-Rabinowitsch's result to a necessary and sufficient condition for the class-number of a complex quadratic field with discriminant D to be two in terms of the primality of the values taken by the quadratic polynomials and with discriminant D (see [2], [7]).

The Szász and Baskakov approximation operators are given by1.11.2respectively. For continuous functions on [0, ∞) with exponential growth (i.e. ‖ƒ‖A ≡ supx\ƒ(x)e–Ax\ < M) the modulus of continuity is defined by1.3where ƒ ∈ Lip* (∝, A) for some 0 < ∝ ≦ 2 if w2(ƒ, δ, A) ≦ Mδ∝ for all δ < 1. We shall find a necessary and sufficient condition on the rate of convergence of An(ƒ, x) (representing Sn(ƒ, x) or Vn(ƒ, x)) to ƒ(x) for ƒ(x) ∈ Lip* (∝, A). In a recent paper of M. Becker [1] such conditions were found for functions of polynomial growth (where (1 + \x\N)−1 replaced e–Ax in the above). M. Becker explained the difficulties in treating functions of exponential growth.

In this paper we study the oscillatory behavior of the even order nonlinear delay differential equation(1)where(i) denotes the order of differentiation with respect to t. The delay terms τi σi are assumed to be real-valued, continuous, non-negative, non-decreasing and bounded by a common constant M on the half line (t0, + ∞ ) for some t0 ≧ 0.

A graph G is said to possess a perfect matching if there is a subgraph of G consisting of disjoint edges which together cover all the vertices of G. Clearly G must then have an even number of vertices. A necessary and sufficient condition for G to possess a perfect matching was obtained by Tutte (3). If S is any set of vertices of G, let p(S) denote the number of components of the graph G – S with an odd number of vertices. Then the conditionis both necessary and sufficient for the existence of a perfect matching. A simple proof of this result is given in (1).

Given a polynomially bounded multisequence {fm}, where m = (m1, …, mk) ∈ ℤk, we will consider 2k power series in exp(iz1), …, exp(izk), each representing a holomorphic function within its domain of convergence. We will consider this same multisequence as a linear functional on a class of functions defined on the k-dimensional torus by a Fourier series, , with the proper convergence criteria. We shall discuss the relationships that exist between the linear functional properties of the multisequence and the analytic continuation of the holomorphic functions. With this approach we show that a necessary and sufficient condition that the multisequence be given by a polynomial is that each of the power series represents, up to a unit factor, the same function that is entire in the variables

In this short note we prove that the functional I : W1,p(J;R) → R defined by is sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous in W1,p(J,R) if and only if the symmetric part W+ of W is separately convex. We assume that W is real valued, continuous and bounded below by a constant, and that J is an open subinterval of R. We also show that the lower semicontinuous envelope of I cannot in general be obtained by replacing W by its separately convex hull Wsc.
