Abstract Points of intersection of a circle and a torus are used to find a solution to the inverse kinematics problem for a three revolute manipulator. Both geometrical and algebraic solution procedures are discussed. The algebraic procedure begins with a third order equation instead of the usual fourth order equation. Since the procedure is basically geometrical it lends itself to a computer implementation which graphically displays each steps in the solution procedure. The potential of this approach for both design and pedagogy is discussed.

SynopsisThe fourth-order equation considered isConditions are given on the coefficients r, p and q which ensure that this differential equation (*) is in the strong limit-2 case at ∞, i.e. is limit-2 at ∞. This implies that (*) has exactly two linearly independent solutions which are in the integrable-square space ℒ2(0, ∞) for all complex numbers λ with im [λ] ≠ 0. Additionally the conditions imply that self-adjoint operators generated by M[·] in ℒ2(0, ∞) are semi-bounded below. The results obtained are applied to the case when the coefficients r, p and q are powers of x ∈ [0, ∞).

Numerous formulae have been given which exhibit the asymptotic behaviour as t → ∞solutions ofwhere F(t) is essentially positive and Several of these results have been unified by a theorem of F. V. Atkinson [1]. It is the purpose of this paper to establish results, analogous to the theorem of Atkinson, for the third order equationand for the fourth order equation

SynopsisThis paper considers an extension of the following inequality given in the book Inequalities by Hardy, Littlewood and Polya; let f be real-valued, twice differentiable on [0, ∞) and such that f and f are both in the space fn, ∞), then f′ is in L,2(0, ∞) andThe extension consists in replacing f′ by M[f] wherechoosing f so that f and M[f] are in L2(0, ∞) and then seeking to determine if there is an inequality of the formwhere K is a positive number independent of f.The analysis involves a fourth-order differential equation and the second-order equation associated with M.A number of examples are discussed to illustrate the theorems obtained and to show that the extended inequality (*) may or may not hold.
