THE NORMALITY OF ALGEBROID MULTIFUNCTIONS AND THEIR COEFFICIENT FUNCTIONS

In this paper, we investigate the normality relationship between algebroid multifunctions and their coefficient functions. We prove that the normality of a k-valued entire algebroid multifunctions family is equivalent to their coefficient functions in some conditions. Furthermore, we obtain some new normality criteria for algebroid multifunctions families based on these results. We also provide some examples to expound that some restricted conditions of our main results are necessary.

THE BOREL DIRECTIONS OF ALGEBROIDAL FUNCTION AND ITS COEFFICIENT FUNCTIONS

In this article, the relationship between the Borel direction of algebroidal function and its coefficient functions is studied for the first time. To begin with, several theorems of algebroidal functions in unit disk are proved. By these theorems, some interesting conclusions are obtained.

Accuracy improvement of GPS/MEMS-INS integrated navigation system during GPS signal outage for land vehicle navigation

To improve the reliability and accuracy of the global po- sitioning system （GPS）/micro electromechanical system （MEMS）- inertial navigation system （INS） integrated navigation system, this paper proposes two different methods. Based on wavelet threshold denoising and functional coefficient autoregressive （FAR） model- ing, a combined data processing method is presented for MEMS inertial sensor, and GPS attitude information is also introduced to improve the estimation accuracy of MEMS inertial sensor errors. Then the positioning accuracy during GPS signal short outage is enhanced. To improve the positioning accuracy when a GPS signal is blocked for long time and solve the problem of the tra- ditional adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system （ANFIS） method with poor dynamic adaptation and large calculation amount, a self-constructive ANFIS （SCANFIS） combined with the extended Kalman filter （EKF） is proposed for MEMS-INS errors modeling and predicting. Experimental road test results validate the effi- ciency of the proposed methods.

Numerical analysis of elastic coated solids in line contact

A line contact model of elastic coated solids is presented based on the influence coefficients(ICs) of surface displacement and stresses of coating-substrate system and the traditional contact model. The ICs of displacement and stresses are obtained from their corresponding frequency response functions(FRF) by using a conversion method based on fast Fourier transformation(FFT). The contact pressure and the stress field in the subsurface are obtained by employing conjugate gradient method(CGM) and discrete convolution fast Fourier transformation(DC-FFT). Comparison of the contact pressure and subsurface stresses obtained by the numerical method with the exact analytical solutions for Hertz contact is conducted, and the results show that the numerical solution has a very high accuracy and verify the validity of the contact model. The effect of the stiffness and thickness of coatings is further numerically studied. The result shows that the effects on contact pressure and contact width are opposite for hard and soft coatings and are intensified with the increase of coating thickness; the locations of crack initiation and propagation are different for soft and hard coatings; the risk of cracks and delaminations of coatings can be brought down by improving the lubrication condition or optimizing the non-dimensional parameter h/bh. This research offers a tool to numerically analyze the problem of elastic coated solids in line contact and make the blindness and randomness of trial-type coating design less.

A Note on the Solution of Water Wave Scattering Problem Involving Small Deformation on a Porous Channel-Bed

The solution of water wave scattering problem involving small deformation on a porous bed in a channel, where the upper surface is bounded above by an infinitely extent rigid horizontal surface, is studied here within the framework of linearized water wave theory. In such a situation, there exists only one mode of waves propagating on the porous surface. A simplified perturbation analysis, involving a small parameter ε （≤1） , which measures the smallness of the deformation, is employed to reduce the governing Boundary Value Problem （BVP） to a simpler BVP for the first-order correction of the potential function. The first-order potential function and, hence, the first-order reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained by the method based on Fourier transform technique as well as Green＇s integral theorem with the introduction of appropriate Green＇s function. Two special examples of bottom deformation： the exponentially damped deformation and the sinusoidal ripple bed, are considered to validate the results. For the particular example of a patch of sinusoidal ripples, the resonant interaction between the bed and the upper surface of the fluid is attained in the neighborhood of a singularity, when the ripples wavenumbers of the bottom deformation become approximately twice the components of the incident field wavenumber along the positive x -direction. Also, the main advantage of the present study is that the results for the values of reflection and transmission coefficients are found to satisfy the energy-balance relation almost accurately.

FUNCTIONAL COEFFICIENT AUTOREGRESSIVE CONDITIONAL ROOT MODEL

This paper proposes an extended model based on ACR nmdel： Functional coefficient autoregressive conditional root model （FCACR）. Under some assumptions, the authors show that the process is geometrically ergodic, stationary and all moments of the process exist. The authors use the polynomial spline function to approximate the functional coefficient, and show that the estimate is consistent with the rate of convergence Op（hv＋1 ＋ n-1/3）. By simulation study, the authors discover the proposed method can approximate well the real model. Furthermore, the authors apply the model to real exchange rate data analysis.
