We study the deterministic counterpart of a backward–forward stochastic differential utility, which has recently been characterized as the solution to the Cauchy problem related to a PDE of degenerate parabolic type with a conservative first order term. We first establish a local existence result for strong solutions and a continuation principle, and we produce a counterexample showing that, in...

It is known that the solutions of characteristic singular integral equations (SIEs) are expressed in terms of singular integrals of Cauchy type with weight functions w (x) = (1 + x)ν (1-x)μ, where ν = ± frac(1, 2), μ = ± frac(1, 2). New quadrature formulas (QFs) are presented to approximate the singular integrals (SIs) of Cauchy type for all solutions of characteristic SIE on the interval [-1, ...

The Cauchy problem for harmonic maps from Minkowski space with its standard flat metric to a certain non-constant curvature Lorentzian 2-metric is studied. The target manifold is distinguished by the fact that the Euler–Lagrange equation for the energy functional is Darboux integrable. The time evolution of the Cauchy data is reduced to an ordinary differential equation of Lie type associated t...

A classical result by Cauchy defines a disk containg all the zeros of a polynomial. We derive several related results by using similarity transformations of a polynomial’s companion matrix, together with Gershgorin’s theorem. We thus show that Cauchy’s original result can be seen as but one member of a family of related results. MathEduc Subject Classification: H35 MSC Subject Classification: 9...

In this paper, we give new generating functions which produce Barnes' type multiple generalized Changhee q-Bernoulli polynomials and poly-nomials. These functions are very important to construct multiple zeta functions. By using Mellin transform's formula and Cauchy Theorem , we prove the analytic continuation of Barnes' type multiple Changhee q-zeta function. Finally we give some relations bet...

The present paper deals with the mixed mode fracture analysis of a weakened orthotropic half-plane with multiple cracks propagation. The orthotropic half-plane contains Volterra type glide and climb edge dislocations. It is assumed that the medium is under in-plane loading conditions. The distributed dislocation technique is used to obtain integral equations for the dynamic problem of multiple ...

A FGM layer sandwiched between two isotropic layers weakened by several interface cracks under antiplane loading is studied. This paper examines the modelling of cracks by distribution of strain nuclei along crack lines. In this investigation, the Volterra-type screw dislocation employed between FGM and an elastic layer. To solve the dislocation problem, the complex Fourier transform is applied...

Self-similar process with long-range dependence (LRD), i.e., fractional Gaussian noise (fGn) with LRD is a widely used model of the Internet traffic. It is indexed by its Hurst parameter HfGn that linearly relates to its fractal dimension DfGn. Note that, on the one side, the fractal dimension D of traffic measures local self-similarity. On the other side, LRD is a global property of traffic, w...
