AbstractWe consider a real-valued function r = M(t) on the real axis, such that M(t) < 0 for t < 0. Under appropriate assumptions on M, the pull-back operator M* gives rise to a transform of Sobolev spaces Ws.p (-∞, 0) that restricts to a transform of Ws.p(-∞, ∞). We construct a bounded linear extension operator Ws.p(-∞, 0) → Ws.p(−∞, ∞), commuting with this transform.
We construct in this paper the first order and second order piecewise polynomial finite approximation schemes for the computation of invariant measures of a class of nonsingular measurable transformations on the unit interval of the real axis. These schemes are based on the Galerkin's projection method forL1-spaces and are proved to be convergent for the class of Frobenius-Perron operators.
The only really useful practical method for solving numerical algebraic equations of higher orders, possessing complex roots, is that devised by C. H. Graeffe early in the nineteenth century. When an equation with real coefficients has only one or two pairs of complex roots, the Graeffe process leads to the evaluation of these roots without great labour. If, however, the equation has a number of pairs of complex roots there is considerable difficulty in completing the solution: the moduli of the roots are found easily, but the evaluation of the arguments often leads to long and wearisome calculations. The best method that has yet been suggested for overcoming this difficulty is that by C. Runge (Praxis der Gleichungen, Sammlung Schubert). It consists in making a change in the origin of the Argand diagram by shifting it to some other point on the real axis of the original Argand plane. The new moduli and the old moduli of the complex roots can then be used as bipolar coordinates for deducing the complex roots completely: this also checks the real roots.
In the present analytical study, we consider the problem of a nanocrack with surface elasticity interacting with a screw dislocation. The surface elasticity is incorporated by using the continuum-based surface/interface model of Gurtin and Murdoch. By considering both distributed screw dislocations and line forces on the crack, we reduce the interaction problem to two decoupled first-order Cauchy singular integro-differential equations which can be numerically solved by the collocation method. The analysis indicates that if the dislocation is on the real axis where the crack is located, the stresses at the crack tips only exhibit the weak logarithmic singularity; if the dislocation is not on the real axis, however, the stresses exhibit both the weak logarithmic and the strong square-root singularities. Our result suggests that the surface effects of the crack will make the fracture more ductile. The criterion for the spontaneous generation of dislocations at the crack tip is proposed.
AbstractIn this paper we discuss coefficient problems for functions in the class {{\mathcal{C}}_{0}(k)}. This family is a subset of {{\mathcal{C}}}, the class of close-to-convex functions, consisting of functions which are convex in the positive direction of the real axis. Our main aim is to find some bounds of the difference of successive coefficients depending on the fixed second coefficient. Under this assumption we also estimate {|a_{n+1}|-|a_{n}|} and {|a_{n}|}. Moreover, it is proved that {\operatorname{Re}\{a_{n}\}\geq 0} for all {f\in{\mathcal{C}}_{0}(k)}.
AbstractWe use a new construction of an o-minimal structure, due to Lipshitz and Robinson, to answer a question of van den Dries regarding the relationship between arbitrary o-minimal expansions of real closed fields and structures over the real numbers. We write a first order sentence which is true in the Lipshitz-Robinson structure but fails in any possible interpretation over the field of real numbers.
