Abstract   In this study, generalized differential quadrature analysis of elastic/plastic buckling of skew thin plates is presented. The governing equations are derived for the first time based on the incremental and deformation theories of plasticity and classical plate theory (CPT). The elastic/plastic behavior of plates is described by the Ramberg-Osgood model. The ranges of plate geometries...

In this paper, we classify the skew cyclic codes over Fp + vF_p + v^2F_p, where p is a prime number and v^3 = v. Each skew cyclic code is a F_p+vF_p+v^2F_p-submodule of the (F_p+vF_p+v^2F_p)[x;alpha], where v^3 = v and alpha(v) = -v. Also, we give an explicit forms for the generator of these codes. Moreover, an algorithm of encoding and decoding for these codes is presented.

The present investigation deals with the propagation of waves in the layer of an anisotropic fibre reinforced thermoelastic solid. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitude of displacements and temperature distribution were also obtained. Finally, the numerical solution was carried out for Cobalt material...

The Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) type models have become important tools in financial application since their ability to estimate the volatility of time series data. In empirical literature, presence skewness and heavy-tails impacts on how well GARCH-type able capture market sufficiently. This study estimates asset returns based GARCH(1,1) model assuming Ske...

We construct a copula from the multivariate skew t-distribution of Azzalini and Capitanio (2003). This copula can capture asymmetric and extreme dependence between variables, and it is one of the few that is effective when the number of dimensions is high. However, two problems arise when estimating the parameters by maximum likelihood estimation. Here, we solve these problems and provide a con...

Some partition theorems similar to the Rogers-Ramanujan theorems are proved. We shall prove the following partition theorems, namely THEOREM 1. The number of partitions of k, k = a 1 + a 2 + a 3 + · · · with a 1 > a 2 ≥ a 3 > a 4 ≥ · · ·

Spin-2, spin-1 and spin-0 modes in linearised teleparallelism are obtained where the totally skew-symmetric complex contortion tensor generates scalar torsion waves and the symmetric contortion in the last two indices generates gravitational waves as gravitational perturbations of flat spacetime with contortion tensor. A gedanken experiment with this gravitational-torsion wave hitting a ring of...

Abstract: In this paper, we suggest using a skew Gaussian-log Gaussian model for the analysis of spatial censored data from a Bayesian point of view. This approach furnishes an extension of the skew log Gaussian model to accommodate to both skewness and heavy tails and also censored data. All of the characteristics mentioned are three pervasive features of spatial data. We utilize data augme...
