Radial distributions of Julia sets of difference operators of entire solutions of complex differential equations

<abstract><p>In this paper, we mainly investigate the radial distribution of Julia sets of difference operators of entire solutions of complex differential equation $ F(z)f^{n}(z)+P(z, f) = 0 $, where $ F(z) $ is a transcendental entire function and $ P(z, f) $ is a differential polynomial in $ f $ and its derivatives. We obtain that the set of common limiting directions of Julia sets of non-trivial entire solutions, their shifts have a definite range of measure. Moreover, an estimate of lower bound of measure of the set of limiting directions of Jackson difference operators of non-trivial entire solutions is given.</p></abstract>

A new analytic solution of complex Langevin differential equations

PurposeIn this study, the authors introduce a solvability of special type of Langevin differential equations (LDEs) in virtue of geometric function theory. The analytic solutions of the LDEs are considered by utilizing the Caratheodory functions joining the subordination concept. A class of Caratheodory functions involving special functions gives the upper bound solution.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is based on the geometric function theory.FindingsThe authors present a new analytic function for a class of complex LDEs.Originality/valueThe authors introduced a new class of complex differential equation, presented a new technique to indicate the analytic solution and used some special functions.

Further study on the Brück conjecture and some non-linear complex differential equations

PurposeThe purpose of this current paper is to deal with the study of non-constant entire solutions of some non-linear complex differential equations in connection to Brück conjecture, by using the theory of complex differential equation. The results generalize the results due to Pramanik et al.Design/methodology/approach39B32, 30D35.FindingsIn the current paper, we mainly study the Brück conjecture and the various works that confirm this conjecture. In our study we find that the conjecture can be generalized for differential monomials under some additional conditions and it generalizes some works related to the conjecture. Also we can take the complex number a in the conjecture to be a small function. More precisely, we obtain a result which can be restate in the following way: Let f be a non-constant entire function such that σ2(f)<∞, σ2(f) is not a positive integer and δ(0, f)>0. Let M[f] be a differential monomial of f of degree γM and α(z), β(z)∈S(f) be such that max{σ(α), σ(β)} <σ(f). If M[f]+β and fγM−α share the value 0 CM, then M[f]+βfγM−α=c,where c≠0 is a constant.Originality/valueThis is an original work of the authors.

On inversion in the case of the fundamentally finite integrable Vekua complex differential equation

The class of so called fundamentally finite integrable Vekua CDE is defined using the fixed point of the inversion and where one solution is equal to the coefficient of the equation. Then the different manifestations of inversion in relation to the general solution, an arbitrary analytical function inside and the core of the coefficient are examined. It shows that all the major problems of the Vekua equation theories, including boundary value problems can be interpreted and solved using the principle of inversion. The main significance of the fundamentally finite integrable Vekua equation is that the real and imaginary part of the solution can be separated, which in many mechanical and technique problems have certain physical meanings.

Infinite growth of solutions of second order complex differential equation

In this paper we study the growth of solutions of second order differential equation f′′ + A(z)f′ + B(z)f = 0. Under certain hypotheses, the non-trivial solution of this equation is of infinite order.

A New Approximate Method for Lightning-Radiated ELF/VLF Ground Wave Propagation over Intermediate Ranges

A new approximate method for lightning-radiated extremely low-frequency (ELF) and very low-frequency (VLF) ground wave propagation over intermediate ranges is presented in this paper. In our approximate method, the original field attenuation function is divided into two factors in frequency domain representing the propagation effect of the ground conductivity and Earth’s curvature, and both of them have clearer formulations and can more easily be calculated rather than solving a complex differential equation related to Airy functions. The comparison results show that our new approximate method can predict the lightning-radiated field peak value over the intermediate range with a satisfactory accuracy within maximum errors of 0.0%, −3.3%, and −8.7% for the earth conductivity of 4 S/m, 0.01 S/m, and 0.001 S/m, respectively. We also find that Earth’s curvature has much more effect on the field propagation at the intermediate ranges than the finite ground conductivity, and the lightning-radiated ELF/VLF electric field peak value (V/m) at the intermediate ranges yields a propagation distance d (km) dependence of d−1.32.

An Analytical Study of Skull Deformation During Head Impacts

Spherical shells have been employed to model impacts to human heads; however, an ellipsoidal shell is that is more realistic model of the head has not fully investigated. In this paper, impact of an elastic ellipsoidal shell with an elastic flat half space is analytically analyzed and a closed-form solution is derived which led to a complex differential equation. Due to the complexity of the impact equation it could not be solved by standard solutions. Therefore, the Newtonian method and a linearization scheme are employed to simplify this equation in order to obtain the response of the impact problem and the closed-form solution. The analytical solutions are validated by finite element method. Good agreement between the closed form solution and the FE results is observed. To show the difference, the ellipsoidal solutions are also compared to the spherical solutions. To the best of our knowledge, this method and its closed-form solution have not been addressed in the literature. It is concluded that the closed-form solution is trustworthy and can be used to investigate the impact of the skull (as an elastic ellipsoidal shell) with a rigid or elastic plate, including the skull deformation and parametric studies. This solution could be expanded to include the brain materials inside the ellipsoidal shell.
