We introduce and study a new canonical integral, denoted I + − ε , depending on two complex parameters α 1 and α 2 . It arises from the problem of wave diffraction by a quarter-plane and is heuristically constructed to capture the complex field near the tip and edges. We establish some region of analyticity of this integral in C 2 , and derive its rich asymptotic behaviour as | α 1 | and | α 2 | tend to infinity. We also study the decay properties of the function obtained from applying a specific double Cauchy integral operator to this integral. These results allow us to show that this integral shares all of the asymptotic properties expected from the key unknown function G +− arising when the quarter-plane diffraction problem is studied via a two-complex-variables Wiener–Hopf technique (see Assier & Abrahams, SIAM J. Appl. Math. , in press). As a result, the integral I + − ε can be used to mimic the unknown function G +− and to build an efficient ‘educated’ approximation to the quarter-plane problem.

Green’s functions are obtained for the boundary-value problems of mixed type describing the general two-dimensional diffraction problems at a screen in the form of a half-plane (Sommerfeld’s problem), applicable to acoustically rigid or soft screens, and to the full electromagnetic field at a perfectly conducting screen.

We investigate the existence of analytic solutions of a class of second-order differential equations involving iterates of the unknown function in the complex field . By reducing the equation with the Schröder transformation to the another functional differential equation without iteration of the unknown function + = , we get its local invertible analytic solutions.

AbstractThe main objective of this paper is to investigate the problem of estimating the trend function St = S(xt) for process satisfying stochastic differential equations of the type {\rm{d}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{t}}} = {\rm{S}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{t}}}} \right){\rm{dt + }}\varepsilon {\rm{dB}}_{\rm{t}}^{{\rm{H,K}}},\,{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{0}}} = {{\rm{x}}_{\rm{0}}},\,0 \le {\rm{t}} \le {\rm{T,}}where {{\rm{B}}_{\rm{t}}^{{\rm{H,K}}},{\rm{t}} \ge {\rm{0}}} is a bifractional Brownian motion with known parameters H ∈ (0, 1), K ∈ (0, 1] and HK ∈ (1/2, 1). We estimate the unknown function S(xt) by a kernel estimator ̂St and obtain the asymptotic properties as ε → 0. Finally, a numerical example is provided.

In this paper, we consider the energy decay of a damped hyperbolic system of wave-wave type which is coupled through the velocities. We are interested in the asymptotic properties of the solutions of this system in the case of indirect nonlinear damping, i.e. when only one equation is directly damped by a nonlinear damping. We prove that the total energy of the whole system decays as fast as the damped single equation. Moreover, we give a one-step general explicit decay formula for arbitrary nonlinearity. Our results shows that the damping properties are fully transferred from the damped equation to the undamped one by the coupling in velocities, different from the case of couplings through displacements as shown in [F. Alabau, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sér. I Math. 328 (1999) 1015–1020; F. Alabau, P. Cannarsa and V. Komornik, J. Evol. Equ. 2 (2002) 127–150; F. Alabau, SIAM J. Control Optim. 41 (2002) 511–541; F. Alabau-Boussouira and M. Léautaud, ESAIM: COCV 18 (2012) 548–582] for the linear damping case, and in [F. Alabau-Boussouira, NoDEA 14 (2007) 643–669] for the nonlinear damping case. The proofs of our results are based on multiplier techniques, weighted nonlinear integral inequalities and the optimal-weight convexity method of [F. Alabau-Boussouira, Appl. Math. Optim. 51 (2005) 61–105; F. Alabau-Boussouira, J. Differ. Equ. 248 (2010) 1473–1517].

AbstractThe original approach of Blasius to the solution of the differential equation now associated with his name was to develop the unknown function as a power series. Unfortunately, this series has a limited radius of convergence, so that such a representation is not valid over the whole range of interest. It is shown here that, if we work instead with a particular inverse function, this can be expanded as a power series which converges for all relevant values of the independent variable. Moreover, the number associated with the solution which is of principal physical interest can be expressed in terms of the asymptotic properties of the coefficients of this series. Exploiting this relationship, we find upper and lower bounds for this number in terms of the zeros of two particular families of polynomials.

In this paper, we deal with two different problems. First, we provide the convergence rates of multiresolution approximations, with respect to the supremum norm, for the class of elliptic splines defined in Ref. 10, and in particular for polyharmonic splines. Secondly, we consider the problem of recovering a function from a sample of noisy data. To this end, we define a linear and smooth estimator obtained from a multiresolution process based on polyharmonic splines. We discuss its asymptotic properties and we prove that it converges to the unknown function almost surely.
