SOLUTIONS TO DISCRETE MULTIPARAMETER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE p-LAPLACIAN VIA CRITICAL POINT THEORY

In this paper, we consider the existence of three nontrivial solutions for a discrete non-linear multiparameter periodic problem involving the p-Laplacian. By using the similar method for the Dirichlet boundary value problems in [C. Bonanno and P. Candito, Appl. Anal., 88（4） （2009）, pp. 605-616], we construct two new strong maximum principles and obtain that the boundary value problem has three positive solutions for λ and μ in some suitable intervals. The approaches we use are the critical point theory.

Audio Zero-Watermark Scheme Based on Discrete Cosine Transform-Discrete Wavelet TransformSingular Value Decomposition

Traditional watermark embedding schemes inevitably modify the data in a host audio signal and lead to the degradation of the host signal.In this paper,a novel audio zero-watermarking algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform(DWT),discrete cosine transform(DCT),and singular value decomposition(SVD) is presented.The watermark is registered by performing SVD on the coefficients generated through DWT and DCT to avoid data modification and host signal degradation.Simulation results show that the proposed zero-watermarking algorithm is strongly robust to common signal processing methods such as requantization,MP3 compression,resampling,addition of white Gaussian noise,and low-pass filtering.

A Generalized Upper and Lower Solution Method for Singular Discrete Boundary Value Problems

This paper presents new existence results for singular discrete boundary value problems. In particular our nonlinearity may be singular in its dependent variable and is allowed to change sign.

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF HIGHER DIMENSIONAL DISCRETE BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

By means of the critical point theory, we prove the existence of positive solutions for a higher dimensional discrete boundary value problem. Our results generalize one of Agarwal in [2].

DISCRETE APPROXIMATIONS FOR SINGULARLY PERTURBED BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS WITH PARABOLIC LAYERS,Ⅱ

In his series of three papers we study singularly perturbed (SP) boundary valueproblems for equations of elliptic and parabolic type. For small values of the pertur-bation parameter parabolic boundary and interior layers appear in these problems.If classical discretisation methods are used, the solution of the finite differencescheme and the approximation of the diffusive flux do not converge uniformly withrespect to this parameter. Using the method of special, adapted grids, we canconstruct difference schemes that allow approximation of the solution and the nor-malised diffusive flux uniformly with respect to the small parameter.We also consider sillgularly perturbed boundary value problems for convection-diffusion equations. Also for these problems we construct special finite differenceschemes, the solution of which converges ε-uniformly We study what problems ap-pear, when classical schemes are used for the approximation of the spatial deriva-tives. We compare the results with those obtained by the adapted approach. Re-sults of numerical experiments are discussed.In the three papers we first give an introduction on the general problem, andthen we consider respectively (i) Problems for SP parabolic equations, for whichthe solution and the normalised diffusive fluxes are required; (ii) Problems for SPelliptic equations with boundary conditions of Diriclilet, Neumann and RDbin type;(iii) Problems for SP parabolic equation with discontinuous boundary conditions-

Maxima and sum for discrete and continuous time Gaussian processes

We study the asymptotic relation among the maximum of continuous weakly and strongly dependent stationary Gaussian process, the maximum of this process sampled at discrete time points, and the partial sum of this process. It is shown that these two extreme values and the sum are asymptotically independent if the grid of the discrete time points is sufficiently sparse and the Gaussian process is weakly dependent, and asymptotically dependent if the grid points are Pickands grids or dense grids.
