Note on a Non-oscillation Theorem of Atkinson
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a general non-oscillation criterion for a second order two-term scalar nonlinear differential equation in the spirit of a classic result by Atkinson [1]. The presentation is simpler than most and can serve to unify many such criteria under one common theme that eliminates the need for specfic techniques in each of the classical cases (sublinear, linear, and superlinear). As is to be expected in a result of this kind, the applications are widespread and include, but are not limited to, linear, sublinear, superlinear differential equations as well as some transcendental cases and some possibly mixed cases.

Analysis and Design of a Simple Surge Tank (RESEARCH NOTE)
In a hydroelectric power plant or in a pumping station in order to avoid sudden large increase of pressure due to instantaneous valve closure sometimes a surge tank is installed. The height of surge tank is designed by the highest possible water level during the operation. The theoretical treatment of oscillation in a surge tank is difficult because of the non-linearity of friction term in the ...

متن کاملA Note on the Descent Property Theorem for the Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Algorithm CCOMB Proposed by Andrei
In [1] (Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Unconstrained Optimization J. Optimization. Theory Appl. 141 (2009) 249 - 264), an efficient hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm, the CCOMB algorithm is proposed for solving unconstrained optimization problems. However, the proof of Theorem 2.1 in [1] is incorrect due to an erroneous inequality which used to indicate the descent property for the s...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Potential Flow over a Rotating Cylinder (RESEARCH NOTE)
Potential flow over rotating cylinder is usually solved by the singularity method. However,in this paper a mathematical solution is presented for this problem by direct solution of the Laplace’sequation. Flow over the cylinder was considered non-viscous. Neumann and Dirichlet boundaryconditions were used on the solid surfaces and in the infinity, respectively. Because of non-viscous flow,the La...
