AbstractThe Rogers–Shephard and Brunn–Minkowski inequalities provide upper and lower bounds for the volume of the difference body in terms of the volume of the body itself. In this work it is shown that the difference body operator is the only continuous and

A general method to obtain insensitive upper and lower bounds for the stationary distribution of queueing networks is sketched. It is applied to an overflow model. The bounds are shown to be valid for service distributions with decreasing failure rate. A characterization of phase-type distributions with decreasing failure rate is given. An approximation method is proposed. The methods are illustrated with numerical results.

Reports from integrative researchers who have followed calls for sociotechnical integration emphasize that the potential of interdisciplinary collaboration to inflect the social shaping of technoscience is often constrained by their liminal position. Integrative researchers tend to be positioned as either adversarial outsiders or co-opted insiders. In an attempt to navigate these dynamics, we show that attending to affective disturbances can open up possibilities for productive engagements across disciplinary divides. Drawing on the work of Helen Verran, we analyze “disconcertment” in three sociotechnical integration research studies. We develop a heuristic that weaves together disconcertment, affective labor, and responsivity to analyze the role of the body in interdisciplinary collaborations. We draw out how bodies do affective labor when generating responsivity between collaborators in moments of disconcertment. Responsive bodies can function as sensors, sources, and processors of disconcerting experiences of difference. We further show how attending to disconcertment can stimulate methodological choices to recognize, amplify, or minimize the difference between collaborators. Although these choices are context-dependent, each one examined generates responsivity that supports collaborators to readjust the technical in terms of the social. This analysis contributes to science and technology studies scholarship on the role of affect in successes and failures of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Let G be a graph of order n with vertices labeled as v1,v2,…,vn. Let di be the degree of the vertex vi, for i=1,2,…,n. The difference adjacency matrix of G is the square matrix of order n whose i,j entry is equal to di+dj−2−1/didj if the vertices vi and vj of G are adjacent or vivj∈EG and zero otherwise. Since this index is related to the degree of the vertices of the graph, our main tool will be an appropriate matrix, that is, a modification of the classical adjacency matrix involving the degrees of the vertices. In this paper, some properties of its characteristic polynomial are studied. We also investigate the difference energy of a graph. In addition, we establish some upper and lower bounds for this new energy of graph.

Let $f$ be analytic in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ and ${\mathcal{S}}$ be the subclass of normalised univalent functions given by $f(z)=z+\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }a_{n}z^{n}$ for $z\in \mathbb{D}$ . We give sharp upper and lower bounds for $|a_{3}|-|a_{2}|$ and other related functionals for the subclass ${\mathcal{F}}_{O}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706})$ of Ozaki close-to-convex functions.

We investigate geometrical properties and inequalities satisfied by the complex difference body, in the sense of studying which of the classical ones for the difference body have an analog in the complex framework. Among others we give an equivalent expression for the support function of the complex difference body and prove that, unlike the classical case, the dimension of the complex difference body depends on the position of the body with respect to the complex structure of the vector space. We use spherical harmonics to characterize the bodies for which the complex difference body is a ball, we prove that it is a polytope if and only if the two bodies involved in the construction are polytopes and provide several inequalities for classical magnitudes of the complex difference body, as volume, quermassintegrals and diameter, in terms of the corresponding ones for the involved bodies.

Exact upper and lower bounds on the difference between the arithmetic and geometric means are obtained. The inequalities providing these bounds may be viewed, respectively, as a reverse Jensen inequality and an improvement of the direct Jensen inequality, in the case when the convex function is the exponential.

Let c be a proper k-coloring of a graph G. Let π = { R 1 , R 2 , … , R k } be the partition of V ( G ) induced by c, where R i is the partition class receiving color i. The color code c π ( v ) of a vertex v of G is the ordered k-tuple ( d ( v , R 1 ) , d ( v , R 2 ) , … , d ( v , R k ) ) , where d ( v , R i ) is the minimum distance from v to each other vertex u ∈ R i for 1 ≤ i ≤ k . If all vertices of G have distinct color codes, then c is called a locating k-coloring of G. The locating-chromatic number of G, denoted by χ L ( G ) , is the smallest k such that G admits a locating coloring with k colors. In this paper, we give a characterization of the locating chromatic number of powers of paths. In addition, we find sharp upper and lower bounds for the locating chromatic number of powers of cycles.

The number of dimer–monomers (matchings) of a graph [Formula: see text] is an important graph parameter in statistical physics. Following recent research, we study the asymptotic behavior of the number of dimer–monomers [Formula: see text] on the Towers of Hanoi graphs and another variation of the Sierpiński graphs which is similar to the Towers of Hanoi graphs, and derive the recursion relations for the numbers of dimer–monomers. Upper and lower bounds for the entropy per site, defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the number of vertices in a graph [Formula: see text], on these Sierpiński graphs are derived in terms of the numbers at a certain stage. As the difference between these bounds converges quickly to zero as the calculated stage increases, the numerical value of the entropy can be evaluated with more than a hundred significant figures accuracy.

A differential geometric characterization of the braid-index of a link is found. After multiplication by 2π, it equals the infimum of the sum of total curvature and total absolute torsion over holonomic representatives of the link. Upper and lower bounds for the infimum of the total curvature over holonomic representatives of a link are given in terms of its braid- and bridge-index. Examples showing that these bounds are sharp are constructed.
