This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for a representation of any 3-braid to be minimal (with regard to the number of crossings) and includes an algorithm to obtain such a representation, the number of distinct minimal representations of a given 3-braid, as well as a unique canonical form for each braid in B3. Also presented are necessary and sufficient conditions for any 3-string braid word to be a minimal representation of its conjugacy class. A canonical form for each conjugacy class in B3 is given.

The main object of this paper is to find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Poisson distribution series to be in a general class of analytic functions with negative coefficients. Further, we consider an integral operator related to the Poisson distribution series to be in this class. A number of known or new results are shown to follow upon specializing the parameters involved in our main results.

If A and B are two complex matrices and if U is a complex unitary matrix such that UAUCT = B (where UCT denotes the conjugate transpose of U), then A and B are said to be unitarily similar. Necessary and sufficient conditions that two matrices be unitarily similar have been dealt with in [5] (from the point of view of group representation theory) and in [2] (from the point of view of developing a canonical form under unitary similarity).

Similarity transformation of matrices to one common canonical form and its applications to 2D linear systemsThe notion of a common canonical form for a sequence of square matrices is introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a similarity transformation reducing the sequence of matrices to the common canonical form are established. It is shown that (i) using a suitable state vector linear transformation it is possible to decompose a linear 2D system into two linear 2D subsystems such that the dynamics of the second subsystem are independent of those of the first one, (ii) the reduced 2D system is positive if and only if the linear transformation matrix is monomial. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the existence of a gain matrix such that the matrices of the closed-loop system can be reduced to the common canonical form.

In this paper we determine the orbits of the braid group $B_n$ action on $G^n$ when $G$ is a dihedral group and for any $T \in G^n$. We prove that the following invariants serve as necessary and sufficient conditions for Hurwitz equivalence. They are: the product of its entries, the subgroup generated by its entries, and the number of times each conjugacy class (in the subgroup generated by its entries) is represented in $T$.

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.

The study of the differential-algebraic boundary value problems, traditional for the Kiev school of nonlinear oscillations, founded by academicians M.M. Krylov, M.M. Bogolyubov, Yu.A. Mitropolsky and A.M. Samoilenko. It was founded in the 19th century in the works of G. Kirchhoff and K. Weierstrass and developed in the 20th century by M.M. Luzin, F.R. Gantmacher, A.M. Tikhonov, A. Rutkas, Yu.D. Shlapac, S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko, O.A. Boichuk, V.P. Yacovets, C.W. Gear and others. In the works of S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko and V.P. Yakovets were obtained sufficient conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form and the structure of the general solution of the degenerate linear system was obtained. Assuming that the conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form were satisfied, O.A.~Boichuk obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and constructed a generalized Green operator of this problem. Based on this, later O.A. Boichuk and O.O. Pokutnyi obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problem, the linear part of which is a Noetherian differential algebraic boundary value problem. Thus, out of the scope of the research, the cases of dependence of the desired solution on an arbitrary continuous function were left, which are typical for the linear differential-algebraic system. Our article is devoted to the study of just such a case. The article uses the original necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and the construction of the generalized Green operator of this problem, constructed by S.M. Chuiko. Based on this, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary value problem were obtained. A typical feature of the obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear and weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary-value problem is its dependence on the means of fixing of the arbitrary continuous function. An improved classification and a convergent iterative scheme for finding approximations to the solutions of weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problems was constructed in the article.
