SOME EULER SPACES OF DIFFERENCE SEQUENCES OF ORDER m

Kizmaz [13] studied the difference sequence spaces ∞（A）, c（A）, and co（A）. Several article dealt with the sets of sequences of m-th order difference of which are bounded, convergent, or convergent to zero. Altay and Basar [5] and Altay, Basar, and Mursaleen [7] introduced the Euler sequence spaces e0^r, ec^r, and e∞^r, respectively. The main purpose of this article is to introduce the spaces e0^r△^（m））, ec^r△^（m））, and e∞^r△^（m））consisting of all sequences whose mth order differences are in the Euler spaces e0^r, ec^r, and e∞^r, respectively. Moreover, the authors give some topological properties and inclusion relations, and determine the α-, β-, and γ-duals of the spaces e0^r△^（m））, ec^r△^（m））, and e∞^r△^（m））, and the Schauder basis of the spaces e0^r△^（m））, ec^r△^（m））. The last section of the article is devoted to the characterization of some matrix mappings on the sequence space ec^r△^（m））.

CHARACTERIZATIONS OF COMPACT OPERATORS ON SOME EULER SPACES OF DIFFERENCE SEQUENCES OF ORDER m

In the past, several authors studied spaces of m-th order difference sequences, among them, H.Polat and F.Basar （[17]） defined the Euler spaces of m-th order difference sequences e r 0 （△ （ m ） ）, e r c （△ （ m ） ） and e r ∞ （△ （ m ） ） and characterized some classes of matrix transformations on them. In our paper, we add a new supplementary aspect to their research by characterizing classes of compact operators on those spaces. For that purpose, the spaces are treated as the matrix domains of a triangle in the classical sequence spaces c 0 , c and ∞ . The main tool for our characterizations is the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness.

SOME GEOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF A NEW DIFFERENCE SEQUENCE SPACE INVOLVING LACUNARY SEQUENCES

In this paper, we define a new generalized difference sequence space involving lacunary sequence. Then, we examine k-NUC property and property （β） for this space and also show that it is not rotund where p = （pr） is a bounded sequence of positive real numbers with pr ≥ 1 for all r ∈ N.

ON ALMOST SURE CONVERGENCE OF WEIGHTED SUMS OF RANDOM ELEMENT SEQUENCES

We mainly study the almost sure limiting behavior of weighted sums of the form ∑ni=1 aiXi/bn , where {Xn, n ≥ 1} is an arbitrary Banach space valued random element sequence or Banach space valued martingale difference sequence and {an, n ≥ 1} and {bn,n ≥ 1} are two sequences of positive constants. Some new strong laws of large numbers for such weighted sums are proved under mild conditions.

Let {Xn, n≥1} be a martingale difference sequence and {a nk , 1?k?n,n?1} an array of constant real numbers. The limiting behavior of weighted partial sums ∑ k=1 n a nk X k is investigated and some new results are obtained.

Hájek-Rényi-type Inequality for a Class of Random Variable Sequences and Its Applications

In this paper, we obtain the Hejek-Renyi-type inequality for a class of random variable sequences and give some applications for associated random variable sequences, strongly positive dependent stochastic sequences and martingale difference sequences which generalize and improve the results of Prakasa Rao and Soo published in Statist. Probab. Lett., 57（2002） and 78（2008）. Using this result, we get the integrability of supremum and the strong law of large numbers for a class of random variable sequences.

Strong Limit Theorems for Arbitrary Fuzzy Stochastic Sequences

Based on fuzzy random variables, the concept of fuzzy stochastic sequences is defined. Strong limit theorems for fuzzy stochastic sequences are established. Some known results in non-fuzzy stochastic sequences are extended. In order to prove results of this paper, the notion of fuzzy martingale difference sequences is also introduced.

ON SOME GENERALIZED DIFFERENCE PARANORMED SEQUENCE SPACES ASSOCIATED WITH MULTIPLIER SEQUENCE DEFINED BY MODULUS FUNCTION

In this article we introduce the paranormed sequence spaces （f,A, Am,p）, c0（f,A,Am,p） and L00（f,A, Am,p）, associated with the multiplier sequence ∧ = （hk）, defined by a modulus function f. We study their different properties like solidness, symmetricity, completeness etc. and prove some inclusion results.

Dynamics of Polypropylene Chains in Their Binary Blends of Different Stereochemical Sequences Studied by Monte Carlo Simulations

The conformational and dynamic properties of polypropylene （PP） for both pure melts and blends with different chain tacticity were investigated by Monte Carlo simulation of isotactic （iPP）, atactic （aPP） and syndiotactic （sPP） polypropylenes. The simulation of coarse-grained PP models was performed on a high coordination lattice incorporating short- and long-range intramolecular interactions from the rotational isomeric state （RIS） model and Lennard-Jones （LJ） potential function of propane pairs, respectively. The dynamics of chains in binary PP/PP mixture were investigated with the composition of C150H302 with different chain taciticity. The diffusion rates of PP with different stereochemistry are generally in the order as： iPP 〉 aPP 〉〉 sPP. For PP/PP blends with 50：50 wt% binary mixtures, immiscibility was observed when sPP was introduced into the mixtures. The diffusion rate of iPP and aPP became slower after mixing, while sPP diffuses significantly faster in the binary mixtures. The mobility of PP chains depends on both intramolecular （molecular size and chain stiffness） and intermolecular （chain packing） interactions. The effect of intramolecular contribution is greater than that of intermolecular contribution for iPP and aPP chains in binary mixtures. For sPP chain, intermolecular interaction has greater influence on the dynamics than intramolecular contribution.

ON THE m^(th) ORDER DIFFERENCE SEQUENCE SPACE OF GENERALIZED WEIGHTED MEAN AND COMPACT OPERATORS

In this article, using generalized weighted mean and difference matrix of order m, we introduce the paranormed sequence space l（u, v, p; △（m））, which consist of the sequences whose generalized weighted △（m）-difference means are in the linear space l（p） defined by I.J.Maddox. Also, we determine the basis of this space and compute its α-, β- and γ-duals. Further, we give the characterization of the classes of matrix mappings from l（u, v, p, △（m）） to l∞, c, and co. Finally, we apply the Hausdorff measure of noncompacness to characterize some classes of compact operators given by matrices on the space lp（U, v, △（m）） （1 ≤ p 〈 ∞）.

QUANTITATIVE METHODOLOGY FOR STABILITY ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR ROTOR SYSTEMS

Rotor-bearings systems applied widely in industry are nonlinear dynamic systems of multi-degree-of-freedom. Modem concepts on design and maintenance call for quantitative stability analysis. Using trajectory based stability-preserving and dimensional-reduction, a quantitative stability analysis method for rotor systems is presented. At first, an n-dimensional nonlinear non-autonomous rotor system is decoupled into n subsystems after numerical integration. Each of them has only onedegree-of-freedom and contains time-varying parameters to represent all other state variables. In this way, n-dimensional trajectory is mapped into a set of one-dimensional trajectories. Dynamic central point （DCP） of a subsystem is then defined on the extended phase plane, namely, force-position plane. Characteristics of curves on the extended phase plane and the DCP＇s kinetic energy difference sequence for general motion in rotor systems are studied. The corresponding stability margins of trajectory are evaluated quantitatively. By means of the margin and its sensitivity analysis, the critical parameters of the period doubling bifurcation and the Hopf bifurcation in a flexible rotor supported by two short journal bearings with nonlinear suspensionare are determined.

On some difference sequence spaces defined by a sequence of Orlicz functions

The idea of difference sequence spaces was introduced in （Klzmaz, 1981） and this concept was generalized in （Et and Colak, 1995）. In this paper we define some difference sequence spaces by a sequence of Orlicz functions and establish some inclusion relations.

A note on strong law of large numbers of random variables

In this paper, the Chung’s strong law of large numbers is generalized to the random variables which do not need the condition of independence, while the sequence of Borel functions verifies some conditions weaker than that in Chung’s theorem. Some convergence theorems for martingale difference sequence such as Lp martingale difference sequence are the particular cases of results achieved in this paper. Finally, the convergence theorem for A-summability of sequence of random variables is proved, where A is a suitable real infinite matrix.

Some new generalized difference sequence spaces defined by a sequence of moduli

The idea of difference sequence sets X（△） = {x = （xk） ： △x ∈ X} with X = l∞, c and co was introduced by Kizmaz [12]. In this paper, using a sequence of moduli we define some generalized difference sequence spaces and give some inclusion relations.

Precise Synthesis of Acrylate Copolymer via RAFT Polymerization and Its Application

A series of different sequence structure containing stearyl acrylate (SA) and hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) copolymer were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The crystallization property of PHEA-b-PSA, PHEA-b-PSA-b-PHEA, PSA-b-PHEA-b-PSA, PHEA-co-PSA, and PHEA-grad-b-PSA were characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The condensed structure of different sequence copolymers were investigated using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). A series of copolymers with different sequence structure were coated on the surface of polyester fabric, which can be found that PHEA-b-PSA-b-PHEA block copolymer has good water repellency.

The stability of E protein gene of the Japanese encephalitis live attenuated vaccine virus SA_(14)-14-2

The purpose of this study was to understand the stability and possibility of back mutation of Japanese encephalitis （JE） attenuated vaccine virus strain SA14-14-2 HKs on molecular level. The E genes of the SA14-14-2 HKs vaccine virus and its PHK cells passaged virus （SA14-14-2 HK17 ）, its mouse brain passaged virus （SA14-14-2 SM1 ） were sequenced and compared with the E gene of parental SAI4 virus. The total RNA was extracted from infected Vero cells and amplified by RT-PCR. The RT-PCR products were purified and cloned into T-vector. Positive clones were screened, identified and sequenced. There were twelve nucleotides and eight amino acids substitutions between SA14 parent virus and SA14-34-2 PHKs vaccine virus. The SA14-14-2 PHK17 virus showed two additional mutations （E-331 and E-398） which were not back mutations. Although five additional mutations were found in SA14-34-2 SMt virus, only one （E-307） was back mutation. Genetic characteristics of the attenuated vaccine virus SA14- 34-2 were stable when it was passaged 37 times on PHK cells or one time in mouse brains.

The Dual Spaces of Sets of Difference Sequences of Order m and Matrix Transformations

Let p = （pk）k=0^∞ be a bounded sequence of positive reals, m C N and u be s sequence of nonzero terms. If x = （xk）k=0^∞ is any sequence of complex numbers we write Δ（m）x for the sequence of the m th order differences of x and Δu^（m）X = {x=（x）k=0^∞ uΔ（m）x ∈ X} for any set X of sequences. We determine the α-, β- and γ-duals of the sets Δμ^（m）X for X=co（p）,c（p）,l∞（p） and characterize some matrix transformations between these spaces Δ^（m）X.

Some Strong Laws of Large Numbers for Blockwise Martingale Difference Sequences in Martingale Type p Banach Spaces

For a blockwise martingale difference sequence of random elements {Vn, n ≥ 1} taking values in a real separable martingale type p （1 ≤ p ≤ 2） Banach space, conditions are provided for strong laws of large numbers of the form limn→∞ Vi/gn = 0 almost surely to hold where the constants gn ↑∞. A result of Hall and Heyde [Martingale Limit Theory and Its Application, Academic Press, New York, 1980, p. 36] which was obtained for sequences of random variables is extended to a martingale type p （1〈 p ≤2） Banach space setting and to hold with a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type normalization. Illustrative examples and counterexamples are provided.
