This paper gives global and pointwise estimates for weighted approximation of functions with singularities by Bernstein operators. The main results are the Jackson＇s estimates of functions f∈ （Wwλ）2 andre Cw, which extends the result of （Della Vecchia et al., 2004）.

On the generalized Cauchy function and new Conjecture on its exterior singularities

This article studies on Cauchy’s function f （z） and its integral, （2πi）J[ f （z）] ≡ ■C f （t）dt/（t z） taken along a closed simple contour C, in regard to their comprehensive properties over the entire z = x ＋ iy plane consisted of the simply connected open domain D ＋ bounded by C and the open domain D outside C. （1） With f （z） assumed to be C n （n ∞-times continuously differentiable） z ∈ D ＋ and in a neighborhood of C, f （z） and its derivatives f （n） （z） are proved uniformly continuous in the closed domain D ＋ = [D ＋ ＋ C]. （2） Cauchy’s integral formulas and their derivatives z ∈ D ＋ （or z ∈ D ） are proved to converge uniformly in D ＋ （or in D = [D ＋C]）, respectively, thereby rendering the integral formulas valid over the entire z-plane. （3） The same claims （as for f （z） and J[ f （z）]） are shown extended to hold for the complement function F（z）, defined to be C n z ∈ D and about C. （4） The uniform convergence theorems for f （z） and F（z） shown for arbitrary contour C are adapted to find special domains in the upper or lower half z-planes and those inside and outside the unit circle ｜z｜ = 1 such that the four general- ized Hilbert-type integral transforms are proved. （5） Further, the singularity distribution of f （z） in D is elucidated by considering the direct problem exemplified with several typ- ical singularities prescribed in D . （6） A comparative study is made between generalized integral formulas and Plemelj’s formulas on their differing basic properties. （7） Physical sig- nificances of these formulas are illustrated with applicationsto nonlinear airfoil theory. （8） Finally, an unsolved inverse problem to determine all the singularities of Cauchy function f （z） in domain D , based on the continuous numerical value of f （z） z ∈ D ＋ = [D ＋ ＋ C], is presented for resolution as a conjecture.

Robust H_∞ and H_2 Static Output Feedback Control of Discrete-time Piecewise Affine Singular Systems with Norm-bounded Uncertainties

This paper is concerned with the problem of designing robust H∞and H2static output feedback controllers for a class of discrete-time piecewise-affine singular systems with norm-bounded time-varying parameters uncertainties. Based on a piecewise singular Lyapunov function combined with S-procedure,Projection lemma and some matrix inequality convexifying techniques,sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities are given for the existence of an output-feedback controller for the discrete-time piecewiseaffine singular systems with a prescribed H∞disturbance attenuation level,and the H2norm is smaller than a given positive number. It is shown that the controller gains can be obtained by solving a family of LMIs parameterized by one or two scalar variables. The numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design methods.

On resolution to Wu's conjecture on Cauchy function's exterior singularities

This is a series of studies on Wu＇s conjecture and on its resolution to be presented herein. Both are devoted to expound all the comprehensive properties of Cauchy＇s function f（z） （z = x ＋ iy） and its integral J[f（z）]≡（2πi）-∮cf（t）（t-z）-1dt taken along the unit circle as contour C,inside which（the open domain D＋） f（z） is regular but has singularities distributed in open domain Doutside C. Resolution is given to the inverse problem that the singularities of f（z） can be determined in analytical form in terms of the values f（t） of f（z） numerically prescribed on C（｜t｜ = 1） ,as so enunciated by Wu＇s conjecture. The case of a single singularity is solved using complex algebra and analysis to acquire the solution structure for a standard reference. Multiple singularities are resolved by reducing them to a single one by elimination in principle,for which purpose a general asymptotic method is developed here for resolution to the conjecture by induction,and essential singularities are treated with employing the generalized Hilbert transforms. These new methods are applicable to relevant problems in mathematics,engineering and technology in analogy with resolving the inverse problem presented here.

SPSM and its application in cylindrical shells

In naval architectures, the structure of prismatic shell is used widely. But there is no suitable method to analyze this kind of structure. Stiffened prismatic shell method (SPSM) presented in this paper, is one of the harmonic semi-analytic methods. Theoretically, strong stiffened structure can be analyzed economically and accurately. SPSM is based on the analytical solution of the governing differential equations for orthotropic cylindrical shells. In these differential equations, the torsional stiffness, bending stiffness and the exact position of each stiffener are taken into account with the Heaviside singular function. An algorithm is introduced, in which the actions of stiffeners on shells are replaced by external loads at each stiffener position. Stiffened shells can be computed as non-stiffened shells. Eventually, the displacement solution of the equations is acquired by the introduction of Green function. The stresses in a corrugated transverse bulkhead without pier base of an oil tanker are computed by using SPSM.

HAUSDORFF DIMENSION OF GENERALIZED STATISTICALLY SELF-AFFINE FRACTALS

The authors consider generalized statistically self-affine recursive fractals K with random numbers of subsets on each level. They obtain the Hausdorff dimensions of K without considering whether the subsets on each level are non-overlapping or not. They also give some examples to show that many important sets are the special cases of their models.

A New Approach on Quantum Gravity in Lyra Geometry

This article investigates quantum gravity through a new approach based on quantization of spacetime and Lyra geometry. Singularity functions are applied to the study, whose main focus is to investigate the physics in the surroundings of supermassive bodies. Present work is a continuation of the research program on quantum gravity and time machines established by the author in a previous publication. The physical and geometrical features of the model are discussed.

Functional singular component analysis based functional additive models

We propose a method which uses functional singular component to establish functional additive models. The proposed methodology reduces the curve regression problem to ordinary(i.e., scalar) additive regression problems of the singular components of the predictor process and response process. Consistency of estimators for the nonparametric function and prediction are proved, respectively. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the finite sample performances of the proposed estimators.

Reduction of Artifacts in Images from MR Truncated Data Using Singularity Spectrum Analysis

In this paper, the theory of signal singularity spectrum analysis(SSA) is proposed. Using SSA theory, a new method is presented to reduce truncation artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) image due to truncated spectrum data.In the scheme, after detecting signal singularity locations using wavelet analysis inspectrum domain, SSA mathematic model is constructed, where weight coefficientsare determined by known truncated spectrum data. Then, the remainder of thetruncated spectrum can be obtained using SSA. Experiment and simulation resultsshow that the SSA method will produce fewer artifacts in MR image from truncatedspectrum than existing methods.

Weighted approximation by Bernstein quasiinterpolants for functions with singularities

We introduce a new type of modified Bernstein quasi-interpolants, which can be used to approximate functions with singularities. We establish direct, inverse, and equivalent theorems of the weighted approximation of this modified quasi-interpolants. Some classical results on approximation of continuous functions are generalized to the weighted approximation of functions with singularities.

The Improved Interpolating Complex Variable Element-Free Galerkin Met hod for Two- D imensional Elastic Problems

An improved interpolating complex variable element-frees Galerkin(IICVEFG)method for the two-dimensional elastic problems is developed.This method is based on the improved interpolating complex variable moving least-squares(IICVMLS)method and the integral form of the elastic problems.In the IICVEFG method,the proposed shape function has the interpolating feature.Therefore,the essential boundary conditions can be exerted directly.Additionally,the unnecessary t erms in the discrete mat rices are removed,which resul ts in a set of concise formulas.This method is verified by analyzing three elastic examples under different constraints and loads.The numerical results show that the IICVEFG method is superior in precision and efficiency to other non-interpolating meshless methods.

Homogeneous wavelets and framelets with the refinable structure

Homogeneous wavelets and framelets have been extensively investigated in the classical theory of wavelets and they are often constructed from refinable functions via the multiresolution analysis. On the other hand, nonhomogeneous wavelets and framelets enjoy many desirable theoretical properties and are often intrinsically linked to the refinable structure and multiresolution analysis. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study on connecting homogeneous wavelets and framelets to nonhomogeneous ones with the refinable structure. This allows us to understand better the structure of homogeneous wavelets and framelets as well as their connections to the refinable structure and multiresolution analysis.

Real-variable characterizations of anisotropic product Musielak-Orlicz Hardy spaces

Let A :=(A_1, A_2) be a pair of expansive dilations and φ : R^n×R^m×[0, ∞) → [0, ∞) an anisotropic product Musielak-Orlicz function. In this article, we introduce the anisotropic product Musielak-Orlicz Hardy space H~φ_A(R^n× R^m) via the anisotropic Lusin-area function and establish its atomic characterization, the g-function characterization, the g_λ~*-function characterization and the discrete wavelet characterization via first giving out an anisotropic product Peetre inequality of Musielak-Orlicz type. Moreover, we prove that finite atomic decomposition norm on a dense subspace of H~φ_A(R^n× R^m) is equivalent to the standard infinite atomic decomposition norm. As an application, we show that, for a given admissible triplet(φ, q, s), if T is a sublinear operator and maps all(φ, q, s)-atoms into uniformly bounded elements of some quasi-Banach spaces B, then T uniquely extends to a bounded sublinear operator from H~φ_A(R^n× R^m) to B. Another application is that we obtain the boundedness of anisotropic product singular integral operators from H~φ_A(R^n× R^m) to L~φ(R^n× R^m)and from H~φ_A(R^n×R^m) to itself, whose kernels are adapted to the action of A. The results of this article essentially extend the existing results for weighted product Hardy spaces on R^n× R^m and are new even for classical product Orlicz-Hardy spaces.
