This paper consists of a brief review and introduction to the main concepts of Classic Variational Calculus. Starting from thedefinitions of the concepts of first and second variation of a functional, we present a mathematically rigorous treatment for theVariational Calculus, establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for obtaining extrema. In this context, the notion of conjugatepoints is introduced, which is fundamental for the classification of weak extrema. Some simple and enlightening examples are dealtwith throughout the paper. Strong extrema are characterized and sufficient conditions for their occurrence are given. The paperconcludes with a brief application to Lagrange mechanics, showing the existence of actions whose stationary points are saddlepoints instead of minima.

Systems possessing symmetries often admit robust heteroclinic cycles that persist under perturbations that respect the symmetry. In previous work, we began a systematic investigation into the asymptotic stability of such cycles. In particular, we found a sufficient condition for asymptotic stability, and we gave algebraic criteria for deciding when this condition is also necessary. These criteria are satisfied for cycles in R3.Field and Swift, and Hofbauer, considered examples in R4 for which our sufficient condition for stability is not optimal. They obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability using a transition-matrix technique.In this paper, we combine our previous methods with the transition-matrix technique and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability for a larger class of heteroclinic cycles. In particular, we obtain a complete theory for ‘simple’ heteroclinic cycles in R4 (thereby proving and extending results for homoclinic cycles that were stated without proof by Chossat, Krupa, Melbourne and Scheel). A partial classification of simple heteroclinic cycles in R4 is also given. Finally, our stability results generalize naturally to higher dimensions and many of the higher-dimensional examples in the literature are covered by this theory.

A matrix is a Q0-matrix if for every k∈{1,2,…,n}, the sum of all k×k principal minors is nonnegative. In this paper, we study some necessary and sufficient conditions for a digraph to have Q0-completion. Later on we discuss the relationship between Q and Q0-matrix completion problem. Finally, a classification of the digraphs of order up to four is done based on Q0-completion.

In this paper, we establish the asynchronous computability theorem in d-solo system by borrowing concepts from combinatorial topology, in which we state a necessary and sufficient conditions for a task to be wait-free computable in that system. Intuitively, a d-solo system allows as many d processes to access it as if each were running solo, namely, without detecting communication from any peer. As an application, we completely characterize the solvability of the input-less tasks in such systems. This characterization also leads to a hardness classification of these tasks according to whether their output complexes hold a d-nest structure. As a byproduct, we find an alternative way to distinguish the computational power of d-solo objects for different d.

Within the geometrical framework developed in [Geometric constrained variational calculus. I: Piecewise smooth extremals, Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys. 12 (2015) 1550061], the problem of minimality for constrained calculus of variations is analyzed among the class of differentiable curves. A fully covariant representation of the second variation of the action functional, based on a suitable gauge transformation of the Lagrangian, is explicitly worked out. Both necessary and sufficient conditions for minimality are proved, and reinterpreted in terms of Jacobi fields.

In this paper, Bol-Moufang types of a particular quasi neutrosophic triplet loop (BCI-algebra), chritened Fenyves BCI-algebras are introduced and studied. 60 Fenyves BCI-algebras are introduced and classified. Amongst these 60 classes of algebras, 46 are found to be associative and 14 are found to be non-associative. The 46 associative algebras are shown to be Boolean groups. Moreover, necessary and sufficient conditions for 13 non-associative algebras to be associative are also obtained: p-semisimplicity is found to be necessary and sufficient for a F 3 , F 5 , F 42 and F 55 algebras to be associative while quasi-associativity is found to be necessary and sufficient for F 19 , F 52 , F 56 and F 59 algebras to be associative. Two pairs of the 14 non-associative algebras are found to be equivalent to associativity ( F 52 and F 55 , and F 55 and F 59 ). Every BCI-algebra is naturally an F 54 BCI-algebra. The work is concluded with recommendations based on comparison between the behaviour of identities of Bol-Moufang (Fenyves’ identities) in quasigroups and loops and their behaviour in BCI-algebra. It is concluded that results of this work are an initiation into the study of the classification of finite Fenyves’ quasi neutrosophic triplet loops (FQNTLs) just like various types of finite loops have been classified. This research work has opened a new area of research finding in BCI-algebras, vis-a-vis the emergence of 540 varieties of Bol-Moufang type quasi neutrosophic triplet loops. A ‘Cycle of Algebraic Structures’ which portrays this fact is provided.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of common stationary points of two multivalued mappings and common stationary point theorems for multivalued mappings on bounded metric spaces are given. Our results extend the theorems due to Fisher in 1979, 1980, and 1983 and Ohta and Nikaido in 1994.

In this paper, the complete shaking force and moment balancing conditions for a special class of planar 5R linkages, the contra 5R linkage, is considered. Contra 5R linkages are planar 5R linkages in which the two input links are mechanically coupled and rotate at the same speed in opposite directions. A method to derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the design parameters to achieve moment balancing without introducing additional components is presented. Using this method, a complete classification of all shaking force and moment balanced contra 5R linkages is given.

AbstractA discontinuous change in the size of an attractor is the most easily observed type of global bifurcation. More generally, anexplosionis a discontinuous change in the set of recurrent points. An explosion often results from heteroclinic and homoclinic tangency bifurcations. We prove that, for one-dimensional maps, explosions are generically the result of either tangency or saddle-node bifurcations. Furthermore, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for generic tangency bifurcations to lead to explosions.
