In an earlier paper (1), published in this journal, a necessary condition was given which the reciprocal of a polynomial without multiple roots must satisfy in order to be a characteristic function. This condition is, however, valid for a wider class of functions since it can be shown (2, theorem 2 and corollary to theorem 3) that it holds for all analytic characteristic functions. The proof given in (1) is elementary and has some methodological interest since it avoids the use of theorems on singularities of Laplace transforms. Moreover the method used in (1) yields some additional necessary conditions which were not given in (1) and which do not seem to follow easily from the properties of analytic characteristic functions.

This script was aimed to determine the necessary conditions for boundedness of Riesz potential in the classical Morrey space. If these results are combined with previous research results will be obtained the necessary and sufficient condition for boundedness of Riesz potential. This necessary condition is obtained through the use of characteristic function as one member of the classical Morrey space.

In the present paper a general form of integral limit laws for additive functions is obtained. Our limit law contains Kubilius’ results [5] on his class H. In the proof we make use of characteristic functions (Fourier transforms), which reduces our problem to finding asymptotic formulas for sums of multiplicative functions. This requires an extension of previous results in order to enable us to take into consideration the parameter of the characteristic function in question. We call this extension a parametric mean value theorem for multiplicative functions and its proof is analytic on the line of [4].

Fourier transforms of distribution functions are frequently studied in the theory of probability. In this connection they are called characteristic functions of probability distributions. It is often of interest to decide whether a given function φ(t) can be the characteristic function of a probability distribution, that is, whether it admits the representation

A distribution function F on (0,∞) belongs to the subexponential class if the ratio of 1 – F(2)(x) to 1 – F(x) converges to 2 as x →∞. A necessary condition for membership in is used to prove that a certain class of functions previously thought to be contained in has members outside of . Sufficient conditions on the tail of F are found which ensure F belongs to ; these conditions generalize previously published conditions.

This note demonstrates that the conditions of Kotlarski’s (1967, Pacific Journal of Mathematics 20(1), 69–76) lemma can be substantially relaxed. In particular, the condition that the characteristic functions of M, U1, and U2 are nonvanishing can be replaced with much weaker conditions: The characteristic function of U1 can be allowed to have real zeros, as long as the derivative of its characteristic function at those points is not also zero; that of U2 can have an isolated number of zeros; and that of M need satisfy no restrictions on its zeros. We also show that Kotlarski’s lemma holds when the tails of U1 are no thicker than exponential, regardless of the zeros of the characteristic functions of U1, U2, or M.

To evaluate the seismic torsional effect on multistory buildings, the concept of eccentricity is extended from single-story buildings to multistory buildings by defining the locations of the centers of rigidity at each floor. A practical procedure to locate the centers of rigidity and hence floor eccentricity is introduced. This procedure depends on the use of plane frame computer programs only and is suitable for use in design offices. The seismic torsional provisions in the National Building Code of Canada 1985 (NBCC 1985) explicitly emphasize that the code provisions apply to buildings where the centres of rigidity lie on a vertical axis only. By means of examples, it verifies the claim of NBCC 1985. Also, it shows that, for buildings with centers of rigidity scattered from a vertical axis, the code procedure may or may not apply. Therefore, one should interpret the condition of centers of rigidity located along a vertical axis to be a sufficient, but not a necessary, condition for the NBCC 85 code provisions to be applicable. Until the necessary conditions are known, dynamic analysis remains the most reliable method to assign the torsional effects to various portions of the building. Key words: building code, center of rigidity, dynamic analysis, eccentricity, irregular, multistory, seismic, torsion.

 Artikel ini mengulas Pemenuhan Elemen Necessary Conditions Kecamatan dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan umum baik secara nasional dan spesifik diperdalam dengan fakta empiris di Kabupaten Pandeglang, hal itu sebagai konsekuansi dari pelaksanaan Undang – Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian diketahui, penyelenggaraan pemerintahan umum Kecamatan baik fakta secara nasional serta pendalaman fakta empiris di Kabupaten Pandeglang menunjukan belum cukup tertopang oleh elemen necessary condition diantaranya kepastian atas kewenangan legalnya serta anggaran yang menyertainya. Oleh sebab itu dipandang perlu ada kemauan politik baik itu dari Presiden untuk segera mengundangkan Peraturan – Pemerintah sebagai landasan teknis bagi pemerintah daerah selaku kepala wilayah maupun dari Kepala Daerah Kabupaten/Kota untuk melakukan terobosan agar supaya di masa peralihan implementasi Undang – Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 kewenangan – kewenangan pada bidang kesatuan bangsa, keamanan dan keteriban umum dapat dilimpahkan pada Kecamatan serta Elemen Necessary Conditions lain yang menyertainya diperkuat.     This article discusses the fulfillment of the elements of the sub-district's necessary conditions in the administration of general government both nationally and specifically and deepened by empirical facts in Pandeglang Regency, this is a consequence of the implementation of Law Number 23 of 2014. The research approach used is qualitative. The results showed that in the administration of district general government both the facts nationally and the deepening of empirical facts in Pandeglang district were not sufficiently supported by elements of necessary conditions, including certainty of legal authority and budget. Therefore, there needs to be political will, both from the president, to immediately ratify the Government Regulation as a technical basis for the regional government (Territory) as well as from the Head of Regency / City to make breakthroughs so that in the transitional period the implementation of Law Number 23 Year 2014 powers in the areas of national unity, security and public order can be transferred to the District and the accompanying elements of necessary conditions are strengthened.

We show in this paper that, for a differential system defined by a quasi-monotonous function f (with constant sign partial derivatives) the existence of a positive loop in the interaction graph associated to the Jacobian matrix of f is a necessary condition for multistationarity, and the existence of a negative loop comprising at least two elements is a necessary condition for stable periodicity. This gives a formal proof of R.Thomas's conjectures.

In this paper, we present an arc based fan-beam computed tomography (CT) reconstruction algorithm by applying Katsevich’s helical CT image reconstruction formula to 2D fan-beam CT scanning data. Specifically, we propose a new weighting function to deal with the redundant data. Our weighting function ϖ ( x _ , λ ) is an average of two characteristic functions, where each characteristic function indicates whether the projection data of the scanning angle contributes to the intensity of the pixel x _ . In fact, for every pixel x _ , our method uses the projection data of two scanning angle intervals to reconstruct its intensity, where one interval contains the starting angle and another contains the end angle. Each interval corresponds to a characteristic function. By extending the fan-beam algorithm to the circle cone-beam geometry, we also obtain a new circle cone-beam CT reconstruction algorithm. To verify the effectiveness of our method, the simulated experiments are performed for 2D fan-beam geometry with straight line detectors and 3D circle cone-beam geometry with flat-plan detectors, where the simulated sinograms are generated by the open-source software “ASTRA toolbox.” We compare our method with the other existing algorithms. Our experimental results show that our new method yields the lowest root-mean-square-error (RMSE) and the highest structural-similarity (SSIM) for both reconstructed 2D and 3D fan-beam CT images.

Abstract The Horwitz function is compared with the characteristic function as a descriptor of the precision of individual analytical methods. The Horwitz function describes the trend of reproducibility SDs observed in collaborative trials in the food sector over a wide range of concentrations of the analyte. However, it is imperfectly adaptable for describing the precision of individual methods, which is the role of the characteristic function. An essential difference between the two functions is that the characteristic function can accommodate a detection limit. This makes it a useful alternative when the precision of a method down to a detection limit is of interest. Many characteristic functions have a simple mathematical form, the parameters of which can be estimated with the usual resources. The Horwitz function serves an additional role as a fitness-for-purpose criterion in the form of the Horwitz ratio (HorRat). This use also has some shortcomings. The functional form of the characteristic function (with suitable prescribed parameters) is better adapted to this task.
