Published: December 2016

Madura merupakan salah satu suku di Indonesia yang memiliki tingkat mobilitas yang tinggi. Ciri migrasi yang dilakukan orang madura yakni pola afiliasi saluran migrasi. Di tempat tujuan, Migran Madura mengembangkan usaha pada sektor informal, yakni usaha dagang barang bekas. Modal sosial berperan pada usaha tersebut, sehingga usaha tersebut berkembang hanya diantara migran madura. Modal sosial terdiri dari jaringan,kepercayaan dan norma. Jaringan sosial migran Madura tergolong sempit, namun simpul yang paling berperan dalam perolehan bahan baku dan modal adalah teman kerja dan perkumpulan migran Madura. Tingkat kepercayaan yang dimiliki migran Madura tergolong rendah, Hal ini dikarenakan kepercayaan yang dibangun baik hanya pada sesama migran Madura, sementara kepercayaan migran Madura terhadap masyarakat setempat tergolong rendah. Peraturan yang harus ditaati oleh sesama migran Madura dalam menjalankan usaha sektor informal adalah sikap saling menghargai usaha yang dimiliki oleh orang madura lainnya. Hal tersebut diperlukan untuk menghindari konflik yang dapat menurunkan solidaritas antar migran Madura. Namun walaupun migran Madura memilihi keterbatasan pada aspek keuangan dan modal manusia, usaha mereka tetap dapat tumbuh dan berkembang diantara sesama migran Madura dikarenakan modal sosial yang mereka miliki.

Economic development in Indonesia since 1980s is dealing with conversion of agricultural land to industry, housing, and other sector in city and its periphery. Land conversion have a great impact to food production rather than the impact from technical problem (drought and pest problem). Government need to preserve agricultural land in order to maintain food production. Thus government made a mandatory approach byissued Law No. 41 year 2009. The aim of this research are to identify an actual socioeconomic characteristics in the area of land preservation program (LP2B) in Kuningan Regency, to identify farmers perception on LP2B and to analyze socioeconomic suitability in the areaof LP2B program. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and likert scale. Based on the result, there are nine socioeconomic indicator on land preservation program (LP2B) in Kuningan Regency, namely; land conversion rate, food balance, disparity between farm and non-farm income, agriculture households, agriculture labor, farmers’ groups, spatial planning policies and farmers perceptions. Farmers have a positive perception on LP2B program. Land preservation program (LP2B) priority should be donein Cilimus sub district due to low support of socio economic characteristic. Meanwhile Ciawigebang and Cibingbin sub district become a next priority of preservation.

Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) is a system of state forest management that conducted Perhutani joinly with community forestry forest villages. CBFM include: drafting plans, utilization of forest resources, and protection of forest resources. CBFM regulated the rights and obligations of all stakeholders involved. Conflict of interest in the management of forest resources can lead to conflicts beetwen any stakeholders. This research aim to determine (1) history and sources of forest resources conflict in the Kalimendong village, (2) conflict resolution mechanism that were implemented based on the CBFM, (3) effectiveness CBFM as conflict resolution in forest resources management. The result of this study found that the conflict in Kalimendong village occured since 1998 that comes from the differences in perception, interest, and ownership beetwen the public and Perhutani. CBFM then can be conflict resolution of forest resources management, but CBFM can then generate a new conflict when the interests of stakeholder can not be accomodated. The analysis shows that characteristic of number of dependents has negatively correlation related to the effectiveness of CBFM as conflict resolution.

Physicochemical properties of sorghum malt and Bambara groundnut based extrudates
Authors: Filli Kalep Bulus
Published: December 2016

Extrusion cooking has beenused as an important technique for the manufacture and modification of widevariety of food products such as expanded snack foods, ready-to-eat cerealswhich are made from foods with high starch and protein. Although starchy foodsare the predominant structure forming agents, their utilization as food hasbeen limited by their poor protein quality and quantity. The supplementationwith legumes improves the essential amino acid content of the food. Bambaragroundnut has balanced amino acid content and can supplement the quality ofamino acids in sorghum. Starch from sorghum flour has been found to beresistant to extrusion. This makes the modification of functional propertiesvery difficult. Malting of the sorghum has been adopted for the modification ofthe starch quality. The nutrient and functional properties of food play majorrole in their application and use as food. This work has studied the effect offeed moisture (20%, 25%, and 30%) and barrel temperature (100o C,110OC and 130o C) on the chemical composition andfunctional properties of sorghum malt and Bambara groundnut blends. From theresults of the analyses, protein content varied from 11.07% to 11.75%. Increasein barrel temperature decreased the protein content while feed moistureincrease favoured the retention of proteins. The expansion index (EI), waterabsorption index (WAI) and effect of quantity of water on swell volume (EQWSV)varied from 1.88 to 3.88, 570% to 660% and 13.7 seconds to 33.4 secondsrespectively. These properties are negatively affected by increase in feedmoisture but they improve with increases in barrel temperature. The values forwater solubility index (WSI), bulk density and Wettability ranged from 2.2% to8.4%, 0.2g/cm3 to o.7g/cm3 and 14.3 seconds to 37.3seconds respectively. The increase in feed moisture has positive influence onthese parameters while temperature increased affected them negatively.

Published: December 2016

Energy drinks are non-alcoholic beverage intended to enhance the psycho-physiological responses in human, which is especially popular among young generation in Nepal. It is normally high caffeinated drink added with other ingredients such as carbohydrates, amino acids, B-group of vitamins etc. In this study, 10 brands of energy drink available in Nepalese markets were taken then analyzed for quantitative determination of Caffeine and Taurine by HPLC-UV method. From the result obtained, pH and TSS values of energy drinks were found in the range of 2.96-3.81 and 6.64-18.21 respectively. Likewise, the Caffeine and Taurine content in same samples were found in the range of not detected (ND) to 35.78 mg/100 ml and ND to 387.5 mg/100 ml respectively. Only the 6 samples out of 10 were confi rmed caffeine content as per claimed in label, while only 3 samples were confi rmed for Taurine content as per label claimed. Based on this pilot study, the majority of samples did not meet the label claims in term of Caffeine and Taurine, which apparently indicated the misbranding of such drinks. Since, there is no any regulation for such energy drinks in Nepal, it seems to be a great challenge for regulation of their safety and misbranding.

Published: December 2016

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a small and medium vessel vasculitis. It may affect any organ system. Neurological involvement, though less frequent, mostly manifests as peripheral neuropathy. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement as autoimmune cerebritis is rare but may be devastating. We report a patient having CNS involvement in the form of Parkinsonism long before the development of typical upper and lower airway symptoms. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis was diagnosed on the basis of cavitary lung lesions along with epistaxis, granulomatous inflammation from fine needle aspiration (FNAC) of lymph node and high titer of c-ANCA. The patient was commenced on intravenous methylprednisolone followed by mycophenolate mofetil and responded to treatment. Autoimmune cerebritis may present with subacute manifestation of diffuse CNS involvement.

Published: December 2016

Vitamin B12 levels in the serum of 58 epileptic patients receiving only carbamazepine for at least 6 months were measured. Same number of epilepsy patients with no history of taking antiepileptic medicine were taken as control. The mean level of vitamin B12 in carbamazepine-treated epileptic patients was 265.5 pg/mL whereas it was 478.3 pg/mL in control. Increased duration of treatment of carbamazepine in epilepsy caused significantly decreased level of serum vitamin B12 (Pearson correlation coefficient, r = -0.9, p<0.0001). In conclusion, serum vitamin B12 level significantly decreased in relation to duration of carbamazepine treatment in epileptic patients.

Rôle des organes des sens dans le comportement de capture chez la larve d'Agrion splendens Harris 1782 (Odonates, Zygoptères)
Authors: Caillère Louis
Published: December 2016

Chez la larve d'Agrion splendens, le rôle joué par les mécano-récepteurs dans la détection et la capture des proies est prédominant. Ces mécanorécepteurs sont situés essentiellement sur les pattes et les antennes.

Chez l'animal aux antennes intactes, il existe un gradient de sensibilité tarsale qui serait linéaire.

L'amputation des antennes entraîne une suppléance sensorielle : la capture peut avoir lieu consécutivement aux excitations tarsales. Cependant, plus le niveau d'amputation est élevé, plus la sensibilité des tarses augmente.
Contribution à l'étude de la biologie et de l'écologie d'un coléoptère entomophage : Xylodrepa quadripunctata (Schreb.) Silphidae
Authors: David Jean , Boulétreau Michel
Published: December 2016

Xylodrepa quadripunctata est une espèce de silphe entomophage répandue dans les forêts à feuilles caduques et qui se nourrit aux dépens de lépidoptères. Son cycle biologique est remarquablement bien ajusté à l'évolution saisonnière de la biocénose et à la prolifération des chenilles au printemps. L'adulte mène une vie active, chassant les chenilles sur les arbres, depuis la fin avril jusqu'au début juin, puis meurt. Les larves se développent à terre et s'attaquent en particulier aux chrysalides. La mue imaginale a lieu en juin et les jeunes imagos restent dans les logettes nymphales jusqu'au printemps de l'année suivante.

En fonction des observations, quelques estimations très indirectes ont été tentées afin de connaître l'importance de ce prédateur. Il apparaît que Xylodrepa quadripunctata ne joue certainement pas un rôle prépondérant dans la limitation des pullulations de lépidoptères. Cependant son importance dans la biocénose, par rapport aux autres espèces prédatrices, n'est certainement pas négligeable.

After a general review of the ecology and distribution of the Donaciinae, the species of Macroplea, Plateumaris and Donacia represented in North Africa are briefly reviewed here. The author is able to give exact references of capture only for Morocco, complete Algerian data being not easily available from any source. Further investigations are needed in the fields of ecology, ethology and distribution in this fascinating group which is rather badly investigated in Morocco and Algeria. Seasonal appearances in relation to altitude and latitude would be also interesting to record more exactly.
Fly ash and slag utilization for the Serbian railway substructure
Authors: Vukićević Mirjana , Popović Zdenka , Despotović Jovan , Lazarević Luka
Published: December 2016

Approximately 7 million tons of fly ash and slag are produced in thermal power plants in Serbia every year, only 3% of which is used in the cement industry. About 300 million tons of the ash-slag mixture are disposed in landfills, occupying an area of approximately 1600 hectares and generating environmental issues. Fly ash from Serbian power plants has pozzolanic properties and due to low concentration of calcium compounds (less than 10% CaO), they do not have self-cementing properties. According to the ASTM C618-15, this ash is from class F. According to the European Standard EN 197-1:2011, this ash is siliceous (type V) ash. From April 2014 to May 2015, an investigation of engineering properties of fly ash and mixtures of fly ash and slag from landfill (without or with binders of cement/lime) was conducted at the Laboratory of Soil Mechanics at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Belgrade (Serbia) and at the Institute for Testing of Materials – IMS Institute in Belgrade. The laboratory test results were showed in the study ‘Utilization of fly ash and slag produced in the TPP JP EPS thermal power plants for construction of railways’. Four kinds of waste materials from Serbian power plants were laboratory tested: (a) an ash-slag mixture from landfills at the ‘Nikola Tesla A’ thermal power plant; (b) fly ash from silos in the ‘Nikola Tesla B’ thermal power plant; (c) an ash-slag mixture from landfills at the ‘Kostolac A’ and ‘Kostolac B’ thermal power plants and ‘Srednje kostolačko ostrvo’ landfill; (d) fly ash from the ‘Kostolac’ thermal power plant. The following physical and mechanical properties of ash and mixtures were investigated: grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, specific gravity, moisture-density relationship, shear strength parameters in terms of effective stresses, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and deformation parameters. The paper presents the results of laboratory tests of the materials with and without binders, and based on the laboratory results and previous research, the paper presents possibilities of using fly ash and slag for the construction of railway substructure in the planned construction and reconstruction of railway network in Serbia. The obtained results indicate that tested fly ash and ash-slag mixture have met the technical requirements and that they have the potential to be used in railway substructure.
META-HEURISTIC APPROACH FOR HIGH-DEMAND FACILITY LOCATIONS CONSIDERING TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
Authors: HWANG Taesung , LEE Minho , LEE Chungwon , KANG Seungmo
Published: December 2016

Large facilities in urban areas, such as storage facilities, distribution centers, schools, department stores, or public service centers, typically generate high volumes of accessing traffic, causing congestion and becoming major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. In conventional facility-location models, only facility construction costs and fixed transportation costs connecting customers and facilities are included, without consideration of traffic congestion and the subsequent GHG emission costs. This study proposes methods to find high-demand facility locations with incorporation of the traffic congestion and GHG emission costs incurred by both existing roadway traffic and facility users into the total cost. Tabu search and memetic algorithms were developed and tested with a conventional genetic algorithm in a variety of networks to solve the proposed mathematical model. A case study to determine the total number and locations of community service centers under multiple scenarios in Incheon City is then presented. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can significantly reduce both the transportation and GHG emission costs compared to the conventional facility-location model. This effort will be useful for decision makers and transportation planners in the analysis of network-wise impacts of traffic congestion and vehicle emission when deciding the locations of high demand facilities in urban areas.
RIPPLE EFFECT AND REGIONAL HOUSE PRICES DYNAMICS IN CHINA
Authors: LEE Chi-Chuan , LEE Chien-Chiang , CHIANG Shu-Hen
Published: December 2016

This paper examines the stationarity properties, the long-run equilibrium and the leadlag relationship among the regional house prices in China from December 2000 to July 2013. Unlike traditional unit-root tests, the panel seemingly unrelated regressions augmented Dickey-Fuller (SURADF) unit-root test reveals that the regional house prices in China are a mixture of I(0) and I(1) processes. There is concrete evidence in favor of the hypothesis of a long-run equilibrium relationship among all regions, except for Shanghai region, and supporting the price diffusion or ripple effect among these Chinese cities. Finally, we determine that these regional house prices exhibit uni-directional causalities running from Beijing, Chongqing, and Shenzhen to Guangzhou and Tianjin, respectively.
ENDOWMENT EFFECT AND HOUSING DECISIONS
Authors: BAO Helen X. H. , GONG Cynthia M.
Published: December 2016

Endowment effect refers to the reported gaps between willingness to accept and willingness to pay. According to prospect theory, this effect is a result of the underweighting of opportunity costs. Given the high stake involved in a typical housing transaction, endowment effect is expected to have a significant influence on housing decisions. We develop a theoretical framework to study the presence of endowment effect and its role in housing decision-making process. Three hypotheses are derived and tested through a field experiment conducted in Beijing, China. Our empirical results show that endowment effect plays an important role in the formation of judgmental biases in housing decisions. Moreover, endowment effect interacts with housing cycles. Our study highlights the application of prospect theory in the housing market; thus, it not only extends existing theoretical and empirical works in this important sector, but also clarifies consumer behavior in the emerging property market of China.

This paper aims to analyze the square beyond an architectural element in the city, but weaves this blank slate, with its contemporary socio political atmosphere as a new paradigm. As a result, this research investigates the historical, social and political concept of Meydan – a term which has mostly applied for the Iranian and Islamic public squares. This interpretation, suggested the idea of Meydan as the core of the projects in the city, which historically exposed in formalization of power relations and religious ideologies. In this sense, studying the spatial transformation of Iranian public squares introduces the framework, which is adaptable to contemporary urban context.
REPLACEMENT OF URBAN SPACE: ESTONIAN POST-WAR TOWN PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND LOCAL STALINIST INDUSTRIAL TOWNS
Authors: Sultson Siim
Published: December 2016

The presented paper focuses on Estonian urban space research concerning both replacement of urban heritage and establishment of new urban design within the period of mid 1940s and 1950s. On the one hand, Stalinist principles brought by Soviet occupation reminded independent Estonian 1930s town planning ambitions. On the other hand, the new principles formulated a new paradigm that was unfamiliar to local urban space tradition. Estonian urban space was compelled to follow the Soviet doctrine by concept, forms and building materials. Sometimes suffering irrational demolitions the towns got axially arranged representative, but perspective and functional plans. Some existing towns (for instance Tallinn, Pärnu, Narva) got new centres due to war wreckages and the ideological reasons. Meanwhile new industrial towns as examples of Stalinist utopia were built in East-Estonia during 1940s–1950s in order to exploit local mineral resources by the Soviet regime. In comparison with Tallinn and Pärnu urban space of East-Estonian industrial towns Kohtla-Järve and classified Sillamäe – designed in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) – still need to be researched. Though different from the rest of Estonian towns by details and materials of façades city-like centres of Sillamäe and Kohtla-Järve are rather similar to Tallinn and Pärnu by their composition.

Published: December 2016

Drying structures using high-frequency electromagnetic radiation or microwave technology is currently gaining much more usage in the engineering practice. The goal of the method is the quickest elimination of water in construction (wall, floor structure, etc.). Microwave is a part of the electromagnetic radiation of frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz and wavelength between 1 mm and 1 m. The frequency of 2.45 GHz and 122 mm wavelength is used for engineering practice. Due to the effect of microwave radiation the divergent homogeneity of temperature field of different building materials can be observed.

This article discusses the spread of thermal field depending on the volume of water and thereby the size of mass humidity of the given material (timber). The temperature fields will be observed by a thermo camera, always after a certain time cycles of the heating.

Published: December 2016

We report on the diversity in quasar spectra from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. After filtering the spectra to mitigate selection effects and Malmquist bias associated with a nearly flux-limited sample, we create high signal-to-noise ratio composite spectra from 58,656 quasars (

), binned by luminosity, spectral index, and redshift. With these composite spectra, we confirm the traditional Baldwin effect (BE, i.e., the anti-correlation of C iv equivalent width (EW) and luminosity) that follows the relation

with slope

, −0.35 ± 0.005, and −0.41 ± 0.005 for z = 2.25, 2.46, and 2.84, respectively. In addition to the redshift evolution in the slope of the BE, we find redshift evolution in average quasar spectral features at fixed luminosity. The spectroscopic signature of the redshift evolution is correlated at 98% with the signature of varying luminosity, indicating that they arise from the same physical mechanism. At a fixed luminosity, the average C iv FWHM decreases with increasing redshift and is anti-correlated with C iv EW. The spectroscopic signature associated with C iv FWHM suggests that the trends in luminosity and redshift are likely caused by a superposition of effects that are related to black hole mass and Eddington ratio. The redshift evolution is the consequence of a changing balance between these two quantities as quasars evolve toward a population with lower typical accretion rates at a given black hole mass.
A NEW METHOD TO QUANTIFY AND REDUCE THE NET PROJECTION ERROR IN WHOLE-SOLAR-ACTIVE-REGION PARAMETERS MEASURED FROM VECTOR MAGNETOGRAMS
Authors: Falconer David A. , Tiwari Sanjiv K. , Moore Ronald L. , Khazanov Igor
Published: December 2016

Projection errors limit the use of vector magnetograms of active regions (ARs) far from the disk center. In this Letter, for ARs observed up to 60° from the disk center, we demonstrate a method for measuring and reducing the projection error in the magnitude of any whole-AR parameter that is derived from a vector magnetogram that has been deprojected to the disk center. The method assumes that the center-to-limb curve of the average of the parameter’s absolute values, measured from the disk passage of a large number of ARs and normalized to each AR’s absolute value of the parameter at central meridian, gives the average fractional projection error at each radial distance from the disk center. To demonstrate the method, we use a large set of large-flux ARs and apply the method to a whole-AR parameter that is among the simplest to measure: whole-AR magnetic flux. We measure 30,845 SDO/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager vector magnetograms covering the disk passage of 272 large-flux ARs, each having whole-AR flux >1022 Mx. We obtain the center-to-limb radial-distance run of the average projection error in measured whole-AR flux from a Chebyshev fit to the radial-distance plot of the 30,845 normalized measured values. The average projection error in the measured whole-AR flux of an AR at a given radial distance is removed by multiplying the measured flux by the correction factor given by the fit. The correction is important for both the study of the evolution of ARs and for improving the accuracy of forecasts of an AR’s major flare/coronal mass ejection productivity.

is considered describing some process of polycondensation in which the chemical reactions are faster than the mass transport. For

\epsilon \to 0

results a nonlinear evolution equation like

v_t = \Delta f(v)

On the Existence of Solutions for a General Form of Variational and Quasi-Variational Inequalities
Authors: Chong Le Van
Published: December 2016

The paper studies the existence of solutions for a general form of variational and quasi-variational inequalities. For this there is used a modification of the classical coerciveness condition and a monotonicity of inequalities.
Über das asymptotische Verhalten der Lösungen einer linearen Differentialgleichung mit Nachwirkung
Authors: Morgenthal Klaus
Published: December 2016

In the paper for the differential equation

x’(t) = \int^\infty_{\tau=0} x(t-\tau) dr(t, \tau)

necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the existence of eventually positive solutions are given which generalize known conditions. Their eventually positive solutions are estimated by means of solutions of the related differential inequalities. Finally an expansion theorem is proved. The results are mainly based on the consideration of the solutions of the differential inequalities and the application of comparison theorems for these solutions.
The maximum principle in linear problems with mixed convex constraints (in Russian)
Authors: Dubovitskii Avram Ya. , Milyutin Aleksey A.
Published: December 2016

We study linear control problems with mixed convex restrictions, which are discontinuous with respect to time, for both trajectories and controls and with arbitrary pointwise restrictions for some components of the control vector. Under the assumption that the problem has a finite infimum, we found the theory of the maximum principle.
Laplace-Gauss Integrals, Gaussian Measure Asymptotic Behaviour and Probabilities of Moderate Deviations
Authors: Richter Wolf-Dieter
Published: December 2016

There is given a general Gaussian measure representation on arbitrary finite dimensional Borel sets. This representation reflects B. Cavalieri’s and E. Torricelli’s "indivisible method" in a modern language. Based upon it, assertions are derived about the Gaussian measure asymptotic behaviour on Borel sets whose distance from the origin tends to infinity. Also two specific multivariate moderate deviation limit theorems for sums of i.i.d. random vectors are deduced.

Bernstein-Sätze nullter Ordnung und Liouville-Sätze für eine Klasse elliptischer Gleichungen
Authors: Frehse Jens
Published: December 2016

Subject of § 1 are certain second order nonlinear partial differential equations

Lu = 0

which allow a so called zero order Bernstein theorem: If

u

is a solution which is defined in all of

\mathbb R^n

then

u

is constant. In § 2 Liouville theorems for powers of certain linear elliptic operators

L

of second order are presented, this means that solutions of

L^mu = 0

which are defined and bounded in all of

\mathbb R^n

must be constant. A connection to the hyperbolic equation

\varphi_{tt} + L\varphi = 0

is shown.

Authors: Klötzler Rolf
Published: December 2016

A till now unconfirmed conjecture is proved analytically: The balls are in

\mathbb E^n (n \geq 3)

the single convex domains of given thickness with smallest surface area. The proof is effected by means of a generalized duality theory of restricted multidimensional variational problems in parametric form.
On a Non-Classical Boundary Value Problem in Linear Plane Elasticity
Authors: Maul Johannes
Published: December 2016

The paper deals with a non-classical boundary value problem of linear plane elasticity. With the aid of singular integral equations, Fredholm’s theorems are proved. Using complex variable techniques, the problem is considered for the unit circle and epitrochoids. It is proved that for every positive integer

n

and within every arbitrarily small vicinity of the unit circle there exists such an epitrochoid for which the homogeneous non-classical problem allows at least

n

linearly independent solutions.
Universale Rettungskurven I

Published: December 2016

Object of this paper is the search for a curve of minimal length and with the property by arbitrary starting directions to join each point and the shore of any lake with given thickness. In part I the unique solution (apart from congruence) is found by means of duality in optimal control and a special structure hypothesis.

Existenz- und Eindeutigkeitsbeweis zur Lösung des Goursat-Problems für quasilineare hyperbolische Systeme erster Ordnung mittels Differenzenverfahren
Authors: Gittel H.-P.
Published: December 2016

This paper continues the author’s investigations [8] on the mixed problem for quasi-linear hyperbolic systems of the first order. For a special Goursat problem to which the general problem was reduced the solvability in the class of Lipschitz continuous functions is proved by means of a suitable difference method. Thereby we obain "continuable initial conditions". Moreover, using an a priori estimate for a certain linear problem we can show the uniqueness of the solution of the original problem and its continuous dependence on parameters.

We study the commutators of some differential operators and operators connected with the error of approximation for proving an inequality of Jackson-type for trigonometrical polynomials in a scale of (anisotropic) Sobolev spaces (with weight). The results are applicable to construct systems of functions with high degree approximation satisfying given boundary conditions.

A Priori Estimates or Elliptic Systems
Authors: Begehr Heinrich , Hsiao George C.
Published: December 2016

A priori estimates for the general complex Beltrami equation in connection with Riemann–Hilbert boundary conditions are developed, which can be used for existence as well as uniqueness statements for related nonlinear problems. For this reason the equation together with the boundary conditions are transformed into the canonical form and essentially a representation formula originally given by Haack-Wendland is used.

A New Computer-Assisted Analytic Method for the Dirichlet and Neumann Problems
Authors: Snyder Herbert H. , Wilkerson Ralph W.
Published: December 2016

The authors introduce a new method for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems (in

\mathbb R^2

and

\mathbb R^3

) based on certain theorems of Zaremba and Bergmann. With the help of a symbolic computing language (FORMAC with PL/1), the authors show how it is possible to orthonormalize a complete sequence of harmonic polynomials on the domain

G

of the solution. The solution is then given by an expansion in these orthonormalized polynomials. Under certain conditions on the boundary values, the expansion coefficients themselves may also be automatically calculated.

There are shown new possibilities for the multiplication of some distributions, namely, by means of matrix representations we prove the existence of nontrivial associative differential algebras with an element

h

satisfying the cubic equation

2h^3 - 3h^2 + h = 0

, which can be interpreted as Heaviside’s jump function. One of these algebras is extended by adjunction of an integral of

On Polyharmonic Riemannian Manifolds
Authors: Schimming Rainer , Kowolik Jan
Published: December 2016

A natural generalization of the harmonic manifolds is considered: a Riemannian manifold is called

k

-harmonic or polyharmonic if it admits a non-constant

k

-harmonic function depending only on the geodesic distance

r = r(x, y)

or rather on Synge’s function

\sigma = \sigma (x, y)

, i.e. a solution

F

of

\Delta^k F(\sigma) = 0

. Certain theorems are generalized from harmonic to polyharmonic manifolds.

Published: December 2016

New asymptotic expansions of the Fermi-Dirac integral

F_{p^–1}(x)

are derived in the case that both

x

and

p

tend to infinity: a) for

p \sim x

, b) for

p = ax, 0 < a < 2

. A new asymptotic approximation is given for

p \to \infty, \sqrt p = o(p - 2x)

. The values calculated with these formulas are for several pairs

(x, p)

compared with the exact values.
Integro-Differentialoperatoren bei formal hyperbolischen Differentialgleichungen
Authors: Bauer Karl Wilhelm
Published: December 2016

If a one-term representation of solutions by a differential operator is known for a formally hyperbolic differential equation, then all solutions defined in a fundamental domain may be determined by means of an integro-differential operator. Moreover, the kernel of the integral operator, which yields the second part of the solution, may again be determined by differential operators. The application of this method is illustrated by several examples.
Dualität bei Steuerungsproblemen und zugeordneten Flussproblemen I
Authors: Klötzler Rolf
Published: December 2016

In this paper novel classes of relaxed problems are stated which are called flow problems. They are related to standard problems of optimal control with functions of one independent variable. Both of these optimization problems have in each case the same dual problem. However for flow problems one can prove the validity of strong duality under weaker assumptions.
