In this paper, we consider three major types of nonparametric regression tests that are based on kernel and local polynomial smoothing techniques. Their asymptotic power comparisons are established systematically under the fixed and contiguous alternatives, and are also illustrated through non-asymptotic investigations and finite-sample simulation studies.

In [J.Math.Anal.App.277(2003) 645-650], W.A.Kirk introduced the notion of asymptotic contractions and proved a fixed point theorem for such mappings. Using techniques from proof mining, we develop a variant of the notion of asymptotic contractions and prove a quantitative version of the corresponding fixed point theorem.

The asymptotic stability of discrete-time interval system with delay is discussed. A new sufficient condition for preserving the asymptotic stability of the system is presented by means of the inequality techniques. By mathematical analysis, the stability criterion is less conservative than that in previous result. Finally, one example is given to demonstrate the applicability of the present sc...

here, a predator-prey model with hassell-varley type functional responses is studied. some sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence and global asymptotic stability of the system by using comparison theorem and constructing a suitable lyapunov functional. moreover, an example is illustrated to verify the results by simulation.

We propose a delayed SIRS computer virus propagation model. Applying monotone iterative techniques and Lyapunov functional techniques, we establish sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of both virusfree and virus equilibria of the model.

This paper presents a mathematical approach to properly account for uncertainty in wind resource assessment and wind energy production estimation. The evaluation of a wind resource and the subsequent estimation of the annual energy production (AEP) is a highly uncertain process. Uncertainty arises at all points in the process, from measuring the wind speed to the uncertainty in a power curve. A...

in this paper, we present a fractional mathematical model of a one-dimensional phase phase change problem (stefan problem) with latent heat a power function of position. this model includes space-time fractional derivatives in caputo sense and time dependent surface heat flux. an approximate solution of this model is obtained by optimal homotopy asymptotic method (oham) to find an approximate s...

in this paper we apply the homotopy perturbation method to derive the higher-order asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions associated with the linear real second order equation of sturm-liouville type on $[0,pi]$ with neumann conditions $(y'(0)=y'(pi)=0)$ where $q$ is a real-valued sign-indefinite number of $c^{1}[0,pi]$ and $lambda$ is a real parameter.

the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence with general term $p_n=(varphi(1)+varphi(2)+cdots+varphi(n))/(1+2+cdots+n)$, is studied which appears in the studying of coprime integers, and an explicit bound for the difference $p_n-6/pi^2$ is found.
