An important aspect in the provision of a two-dimensional warranty is the expected number of failures of a component during the two-dimensional warranty period. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method to obtain the expected number of failures of a nonrepairable compo­nent from the two-dimensional renewal functions as the so­lution of two-dimensional renewal integral equations through the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals (MeVTI) method. The two-dimensional renewal integral equation involves Lu-Bhattacharyya’s bivariate Weibull model as a two-dimensional failure model. It turns out that the estimation of the expected number of failures using the MeVTI method is close to that of the other method, Riemann-Stieljies method. The bivariate data behaviour of the failures of an automobile component is also studied in this paper.

AbstractA celebrated result of Halász describes the asymptotic behavior of the arithmetic mean of an arbitrary multiplicative function with values on the unit disc. We extend this result to multilinear averages of multiplicative functions providing similar asymptotics, thus verifying a two dimensional variant of a conjecture of Elliott. As a consequence, we get several convergence results for such multilinear expressions, one of which generalises a well known convergence result of Wirsing. The key ingredients are a recent structural result for multiplicative functions with values on the unit disc proved by the authors and the mean value theorem of Halász.

It is well known that the mean value theorem (MVT) does not, in general, hold for analytic functions. The most familiar example to this effect is f(z) = ez since e2πi−e0≠2πiez0 for any z0∈ℂ. On the other hand, it is easy to show that the MVT holds in ℂ if f(z) is a polynomial of degree at most 2. Thus it is natural to ask what conditions on a function f(z) analytic in a domain D are necessary and sufficient for f(z) to satisfy the MVT in D. This is one of the questions answered in this paper.

In the analysis of warranty, renewal functions are important in acquiring the expected number of failures of a nonrepairable component in a time interval. It is very difficult and complicated -if at all possible- to obtain a renewal function analytically. This paper proposes a numerical integration method for estimating renewal functions in the terms of renewal integral equations. The estimation is done through the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals (MeVTI) method after modifying the variable of the renewal integral equations. The accuracy of the estimation is measured by its comparison against the existing analytical approach of renewal functions, those are for Exponential, Erlang, Gamma, and Normal baseline failure distributions. The estimation of the renewal function for a Weibull baseline failure distribution as the results of the method is compared to that of the well-known numerical integration approaches, the Riemann-Stieljies and cubic spline methods. Keywords :    Mean Value Theorem for Integrals, Renewal Functions, Renewal Integral Equations.

This session will explore two areas of application of CAS: one focusing on how teachers can improve student learning using CAS, the other focusing on how students can use CAS directly to help them improve their understanding of calculus concepts. We will illustrate the first area by sharing some examples of calculus teaching lessons that use CAS to help students understand or apply a particular concept. We will illustrate the second area by sharing some examples of student explorations that utilize CAS. These allow students to explore some relationships and applications we use in calculus that would be difficult to do otherwise. For example, the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) is one of the most important theorems in calculus. Many first year calculus students have difficulties really understanding or applying the MVT. Using CAS, a student can explore how to apply the MVT to a differentiable function and develop a better understanding of the MVT and its graphical interpretation. This session will focus on first year calculus topics.

Monotonicity analysis of delta fractional sums and differences of order υ∈(0,1] on the time scale hZ are presented in this study. For this analysis, two models of discrete fractional calculus, Riemann–Liouville and Caputo, are considered. There is a relationship between the delta Riemann–Liouville fractional h-difference and delta Caputo fractional h-differences, which we find in this study. Therefore, after we solve one, we can apply the same method to the other one due to their correlation. We show that y(z) is υ-increasing on Ma+υh,h, where the delta Riemann–Liouville fractional h-difference of order υ of a function y(z) starting at a+υh is greater or equal to zero, and then, we can show that y(z) is υ-increasing on Ma+υh,h, where the delta Caputo fractional h-difference of order υ of a function y(z) starting at a+υh is greater or equal to −1Γ(1−υ)(z−(a+υh))h(−υ)y(a+υh) for each z∈Ma+h,h. Conversely, if y(a+υh) is greater or equal to zero and y(z) is increasing on Ma+υh,h, we show that the delta Riemann–Liouville fractional h-difference of order υ of a function y(z) starting at a+υh is greater or equal to zero, and consequently, we can show that the delta Caputo fractional h-difference of order υ of a function y(z) starting at a+υh is greater or equal to −1Γ(1−υ)(z−(a+υh))h(−υ)y(a+υh) on Ma,h. Furthermore, we consider some related results for strictly increasing, decreasing, and strictly decreasing cases. Finally, the fractional forward difference initial value problems and their solutions are investigated to test the mean value theorem on the time scale hZ utilizing the monotonicity results.

The main purpose of this paper is using the mean value theorem of DirichletL-functions to study the asymptotic property of a sum analogous to Dedekind sum, and give an interesting mean square value formula.
