On the harmonicity of a function with a Bôcher–Koebe type condition
Abstract
Let be an open ball of radius in with the center at zero, and a function be harmonic in If has zero residue at the point then the flow of its gradient through any sphere lying in is zero. In this paper, the reverse phenomenon is studied for the case when only spheres of one or two fixed radii and are allowed. A description of the class
was found, where It is proved that if is not a ratio of the zeros of the Bessel function and then the function is harmonic in and This result cannot be significantly improved. Namely, if where or then there exists a function non-harmonic in and such that
In addition, the condition cannot be replaced, generally speaking, by the requirement for an arbitrary fixed



About recurrent motions of periodic processes
Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of the properties of recurrent motions of periodic processes defined in a Hausdorff sequentially compact topological space .
The definition of a recurrent motion of a periodic process is introduced and the main property of the motions is established. This property strictly connects arbitrary motions and recurrent motions in . Based on this property, it is shown that, in the case of an autonomous process defined in the space , the classical G. Birkhoff definition of a recurrent motion is equivalent to the definition of a recurrent motion of a periodic process introduced in this article. Besides, it is shown that in the - and -limit sets of each motion of an autonomous process are sequentially compact minimal sets.
The main significance of the results obtained in the article is that they actually establish the interrelation between the motions of periodic processes in the space .



Globalizing convergence of piecewise Newton methods
Abstract
We consider versions of the Newton method for piecewise smooth nonlinear equations, as well as of the Gauss–Newton method for the case when additional constraints are imposed, supplied with linesearch procedures for the residual of the equation, aiming at globalization of convergence. (Constrained) piecewise smooth nonlinear equations arise naturally as reformulations of systems of equations and inequalities involving complementarity conditions. In cases when the direction of the Newton method cannot be computed, or appears too long, the algorithm switches to a safeguarding step of the gradient descent method for the squared residual of of the equation with smooth selection mapping active at the current iterate. For the Gauss–Newton method, safeguarding steps of the gradient projection method are employed. We obtain results characterizing properties of possible accumulation points of sequences generated by these methods, namely, stationarity of any such point for at least one smooth selection mapping active at it, and conditions assuring asymptotic superlinear convergence rate of such sequences. Special attention is paid to the majorization condition for the norm of the mapping by the norms of smooth selection mappings, playing a crucial role in the analysis for the piecewise smooth case. Examples are provided demonstrating that in cases of violation of this condition, the algorithms in question may produce sequences converging to points that are not stationary for any active smooth selection mapping.



On an approximate solution to an ill-posed mixed boundary value problem for the Laplace equation in a cylindrical domain with homogeneous conditions of the second kind on the lateral surface of the cylinder
Abstract
We consider a problem mixed in boundary conditions for the Laplace equation in a domain that is a part of a cylinder of a rectangular cross-section with homogeneous boundary conditions of the second kind on the side surface of the cylinder. The cylindrical region is limited on one side by surface of a general kind on which the Cauchy conditions are specified, i. e. a function and its normal derivative are given, and the other boundary of the cylindrical region is free. In this case, the problem has the property of instability of the Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation with respect to the error in the Cauchy data, i. e. is ill-posed, and its approximate solution, robust to errors in Cauchy data, requires the use of regularization methods. The problem under consideration is reduced to the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. Based on the solution of the integral equation obtained in the form of a Fourier series on the eigenfunctions of the second boundary value problem for the Laplace equation in a rectangle, an explicit representation of the exact solution of the problem was constructed. A stable approximate solution to the integral equation was constructed using the Tikhonov regularization method. The extremal of the Tikhonov functional is considered as an approximate solution to the integral equation. Based on the approximate solution of the integral equation, an approximate solution of the boundary value problem as a whole is constructed. A theorem is proved for the convergence of an approximate solution of the problem to the exact one as the error in the Cauchy data tends to zero and the regularization parameter is consistent with the error in the data.



Comparing the spectra of wandering exponents of a nonlinear two-dimensional system and a first approximation system
Abstract
In this paper, we study various varieties of wandering exponents for solutions of linear homogeneous and nonlinear two-dimensional differential systems with coefficients continuous on the positive semiaxis. Moreover, all non-extendable solutions of the nonlinear system under consideration are defined on the entire positive time semi-axis.
In 2010, I. N. Sergeev determined the wandering speed and wandering exponents (upper and lower, strong and weak) of a nonzero solution of a linear system. The wandering speed of the solution is the time-average velocity at which the central projection of the solution moves onto the unit sphere. Strong and weak exponents of wandering are the wandering speed of the solution, but minimized over all coordinate systems, and in the case of a weak exponent of wandering, minimization is performed at each moment of time. Therefore, strong and weak exponents of wandering take into account only the information about the solution that is not is suppressed by linear transformations: for example, they take into account the revolutions of the vector around zero, but do not take into account its local rotation around some other vector.
In this work, a first approximation study of strong and weak wandering exponents was carried out. It is established that there is no dependence between the spectra (i. e., a set of different values on non-zero solutions) of strong and weak wandering exponents of a nonlinear system and the system of its first approximation. Namely, a two-dimensional nonlinear system is constructed such that the spectra of wandering exponents of its restriction to any open neighborhood of zero on the phase plane consist of all rational numbers in the interval and the spectra of the linear system of its first approximation consist of only one element.



Mathematical modeling of physical processes in composition media
Abstract
A continuous medium, which is quite common in the industrial sphere, consisting of a set of layers (phases), i.e. a layered unidirectional composite medium (composites), and physical processes in the layers, i.e. transfer processes, wave processes, and changes in the stress-strain state of this this medium, is considered. A mathematical description of the structure of the compositional medium in terms of the layered domain is realized, a Sobolev space of functions with a carrier in the layered domain (together with auxiliary spaces) is constructed to describe the quantitative characteristics of the layers, and the weak solvability of the corresponding boundary value problems is established. At the same time, in the places of mutual adjacency of the layers, the conditions describing the regularities of the transfer process and the wave process, as well as changes in the stress-strain state and the displacement of layer points were determined. The work consists of three parts. The first part contains a description of the structure of the compositional medium, the basic concepts, and a description of the classical spaces of functions with a carrier in the layered domain. The second part is devoted to the construction of auxiliary spaces for the mathematical description of boundary problems of the processes of transfer and wave process, and to obtaining sufficient conditions for their solvability. The third part contains a description of the elastic properties of the composite medium, the problem of stress-strain is formulated for which the space of admissible solutions satisfying the relations describing the laws of displacement of points at the junctions of layers is constructed, the conditions of weak solvability of the specified problem are established. The results of the work are used in the analysis of problems of optimization of physical processes and phenomena in composite materials.



Alpha sets and their hulls: analytical relationships in the plane case
Abstract
The class of closed sets of two-dimensional Euclidean space that are not Chebyshev sets in common case is considered. Sets are studied from the standpoint of two well-known definitions that generalize the classical definition of a convex set. Within the framework of these definitions, analytical relationships are established between the parameters characterizing non-convex sets. A formula for calculating the function that determines the degree of non-convexity of a closed set, and a formula for calculating the radius of the support ball are found. The areas of application of the studied structures in the theory of control of dynamic systems are indicated. An illustrative example is given in which a procedure for analytical calculating the Chebyshev layer of a non-convex set with discontinuous curvature of its boundary is proposed.



Methods for constructing invariant cubature formulas for integrals over the surface of a torus in R3
Abstract
The article considers the question of constructing cubature formulas for the surface of a torus in , invariant under the group generated by reflections of into itself. For currently known invariant cubature formulas with a degree of accuracy greater than 3, the number of nodes significantly exceeds the minimum possible. The article proposes invariant cubature formulas of degree 5 and 7 for the surface of a torus with a number of nodes close to the minimum. Tables of values of nodes and coefficients of the constructed cubature formulas are given. The dependence of these values on the ratio of the radii of the guide and generatrix of the torus circles is studied. For construction, the method of invariant cubature formulas is used, based on the theorem of S. L. Sobolev.
