*-normal Functions on the Plane

We introduce a new class of meromorphic functions on the plane, *_ normal functions say, their properties are very similarly as the normal functions in the unit disk and give three necessary conditions in judging it. Further we prove that each Julia exceptional function is *_normal and that there exists a *_normal function which has Julia aline.

Normal Functions Concerning Shared Values

In this paper we discuss normal functions concerning shared values. We obtain the follow result. Let F be a family of meromorphic functions in the unit disc A, and a be a nonzero finite complex number. If for any f ∈F, the zeros of f are of multiplicity, f and f′ share a, then there exists a positive number M such that for any f∈F1（1-｜z｜^2） ｜f′（z）｜/1＋｜f（z）｜^2≤M.

Normal Functions and α-Normal Functions

This paper has studied two open questions about normal functions due to Lappan,and obtained two corresponding results for α-normal functions.

Stroke Patients’ Reintegration into Normal Living Post-Discharge from Inpatient Rehabilitation: An Integrative Review

Background: Stroke rehabilitation professionals have historically focused rehabilitation on physical functions and overlooked the concept of community reintegration after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. The lack of focus on psychosocial functions post-stroke may lead to lower levels of satisfaction during community reintegration. Methods: This integrative review synthesized findings from research literature on stroke patients’ reintegration into the community after inpatient rehabilitation to address three research questions: a) What specific physical and psychosocial functions have been identified as predictors of successful reintegration into normal living after stroke?, b) How do physical and psychosocial functions promote successful reintegration into normal living after stroke?, and c) What factors have been identified that hinder stroke patients’ reintegration into normal living after stroke? Results: A systematic search of literature identified sixteen studies that provided significant context for the research questions. What physical and psychosocial functions of stroke patients included, for example, improved mobility, independence in daily activities, reduced disability, psychological well-being, self-efficacy, social support, and personal relationships. How physical and psychosocial functions promote reintegration included, for example, disability management, emotional well-being, self-care independence, sense of purpose, and employment influence. Factors that hinder stroke patients’ reintegration consisted of longer stride time, impaired balance/mobility, activities limitation, severe stroke, presence of comorbidity, depressive symptoms, speech and language challenges, inadequate self-efficacy, fear of falling, older age, low educational level, lack of social support, and social isolation. Conclusion: Successful community reintegration after stroke requires a shift of focus from rehabilitation interventions that target physical functions to include interventions that address psychosocial functions.

The Bivariate Normal Integral via Owen’s T Function as a Modified Euler’s Arctangent Series

The Owen’s T function is presented in four new ways, one of them as a series similar to the Euler’s arctangent series divided by 2π, which is its majorant series. All possibilities enable numerically stable and fast convergent computation of the bivariate normal integral with simple recursion. When tested computation on a random sample of one million parameter triplets with uniformly distributed components and using double precision arithmetic, the maximum absolute error was 3.45 × 10-16. In additional testing, focusing on cases with correlation coefficients close to one in absolute value, when the computation may be very sensitive to small rounding errors, the accuracy was retained. In rare potentially critical cases, a simple adjustment to the computation procedure was performed—one potentially critical computation was replaced with two equivalent non-critical ones. All new series are suitable for vector and high-precision computation, assuming they are supplemented with appropriate efficient and accurate computation of the arctangent and standard normal cumulative distribution functions. They are implemented by the R package Phi2rho, available on CRAN. Its functions allow vector arguments and are ready to work with the Rmpfr package, which enables the use of arbitrary precision instead of double precision numbers. A special test with up to 1024-bit precision computation is also presented.

Parametric Approach for the Normal Luenberger Function Observer Design in Second-order Descriptor Linear Systems

In this paper, the normal Luenberger function observer design for second-order descriptor linear systems is considered. It is shown that the main procedure of the design is to solve a so-called second-order generalized Sylvester-observer matrix equation. Based on an explicit parametric solution to this equation, a parametric solution to the normal Luenberger function observer design problem is given. The design degrees of freedom presented by explicit parameters can be further utilized to achieve some additional design requirements.

NORMAL FAMILIES AND SHARED VALUES OF HOLOMORPHIC FUNCTIONS

Let F be a family of holomorphic functions in a domain D, k be a positive integer, a, b（≠0）, c（≠0） and d be finite complex numbers. If, for each f∈F, all zeros of f-d have multiplicity at least k, f^（k） = a whenever f=0, and f=c whenever f^（k） = b, then F is normal in D. This result extends the well-known normality criterion of Miranda and improves some results due to Chen-Fang, Pang and Xu. Some examples are provided to show that our result is sharp.

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.
