The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

Recently s-FR and s-ST orderings have been defined in the literature. They are more general in the sense that most of the earlier known partial orderings reduce as particular cases of these orderings. Moreover, these orderings have helped in defining new and useful ageing criterion. In this paper, using Laplace transform, we characterize, by means of necessary and sufficient conditions. the property that two life distributions are ordered in the s-FR and s-ST sense. The characterization of LR, FR, MR, VR, STand HAMR orderings follow as particular cases.

In this paper, we discuss the solvability of a class of multiterm initial value problems involving the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative via the Laplace transform. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of solutions to the problem. We also obtain the solutions in closed forms. We present two examples to illustrate the validity of the obtained results.

Abstract Necessary and sufficient conditions on weight pairs are found for the validity of a class of weighted exponential inequalities involving certain classical operators. Among the operators considered are the Hardy averaging operator and its variants in one and two dimensions, as well as the Laplace transform. Discrete analogues yield characterizations of weighted forms of Carleman's inequality.

Let ƒ(x) be a C-valued function which is integrable with respect to a positive measure m on the Borel σ-field of R = (– ∞, ∞). We shall give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the following Fourier-Laplace transform f(λ) of ƒ(x) decays exponentially as λ → ∞:where θ is a constant with –π/2 ≤ θ ≤ π/2.

In this paper, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for oscillation of the following first order neutral delay difference equation <br />\begin{equation*} \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad\quad \quad \quad \quad\Delta[x(n)+px(n-\tau)]+qx(n-\sigma)=0, \quad \quad n\geq n_0, \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad {(*)} \end{equation*}<br />where \(\tau\) and \(\sigma\) are positive integers, \(p\neq 0\) is a real number and \(q\) is a positive real number. We proved that every solution of (*) oscillates if and only if its characteristic equation<br />\begin{equation*}\quad \quad \quad \quad\quad \quad \quad \quad\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad (\lambda-1)(1+p\lambda^{-\tau})+q\lambda^{-\sigma}=0\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad {(**)} \end{equation*}<br />has no positive roots.
