Using variational methods, we study the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for some p(x)-Laplacian-like problems. First, without assuming any asymptotic condition neither at zero nor at infinity, we prove the existence of a non-zero solution for our problem. Next, we obtain the existence of two solutions, assuming only the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Finally, we present a three solutions existence result under appropriate condition on the potential F.

In this paper we study the problem of normal families of meromorphic functions concerning shared values. Let F be a family of meromorphic functions in the plane domain $D{\subseteq}{\mathbb{C}}$ and n, k be two positive integers such that $n{\geq}k+1$, and let a, b be two finite complex constants such that $a{\neq}0$. Suppose that (1) $f+a(f^{(k)})^n$ and $g+a(g^{(k)})^n$ share b in D for every pair of functions f, $g{\in}F$; (2) All zeros of f have multiplicity at least k + 2 and all poles of f have multiplicity at least 2 for each $f{\in}F$ in D; (3) Zeros of $f^{(k)}(z)$ are not the b points of f(z) for each $f{\in}F$ in D. Then F is normal in D. And some examples are provided to show the result is sharp.

In this article, we study the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions for the following fourth-order differential equation (1) u⁽⁴⁾(x) + ωu''(x) + a(x)u(x) = f(x, u(x)), ∀x ∈ ℝ where a(x) is not required to be either positive or coercive, and F(x, u) = ∫^u₀ f(x, v)dv is of subquadratic or superquadratic growth as |u| → ∞, or satisfies only local conditions near the origin (i.e., it can be subquadratic, superquadratic or asymptotically quadratic as |u| → ∞). To the best of our knowledge, there is no result published concerning the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions for (1) with our conditions. The proof is based on variational methods and critical point theory.

Quantification of sensitive material is of vital importance when it comes to the movement of nuclear fuel throughout its life cycle. Within the electrorefiner vessel of electrochemical separation facilities, the task of quantifying plutonium by neutron analysis is especially challenging due to it being in a constant mixture with curium. It is for this reason that current neutron multiplicity methods would prove ineffective as a safeguards measure. An alternative means of plutonium verification is investigated that utilizes the (𝛼,n) signature that comes as a result of the eutectic salt within the electrorefiner. This is done by utilizing the multiplicity variable a and breaking it down into its constituent components: spontaneous fission neutrons and (𝛼,n) yield. From there, the (𝛼,n) signature is related to the plutonium content of the fuel.

In this paper, we establish a multiple existence result of T-periodic solutions for the semilinear parabolic boundary value problem with sublinear growth nonlinearities. We adapt sub-supersolution scheme and topological argument based on variational structure of functionals.

We obtain the multiple solutions for the fourth order elliptic problem with a variable coefficient and a jumping semilinear term. We have a result that there exist at least two solutions if the variable coefficient of the semilinear term crosses some number of the eigenvalues of the biharmonic eigenvalue problem. We obtain this multiplicity result by applying the Leray-Schauder degree theory.

In this paper, we establish a multiple critical points theorem for a one-parameter family of non-smooth functionals. The obtained result is then exploited to prove a multiplicity result for a class of periodic eigenvalue problems driven by the p-Laplacian and with a non-smooth potential. Under suitable assumptions, we locate an open subinterval of the eigenvalue.

For a given graph G we consider a set S(G) of all symmetric matrices A = [$a_{ij}$] whose nonzero entries are placed according to the location of the edges of the graph, i.e., for $i{\neq}j$, $a_{ij}{\neq}0$ if and only if vertex $i$ is adjacent to vertex $j$. The minimum rank mr(G) of the graph G is defined to be the smallest rank of a matrix in S(G). In general the computation of mr(G) is complicated, and so is that of the maximum multiplicity MaxMult(G) of an eigenvalue of a matrix in S(G) which is equal to $n$ - mr(G) where n is the number of vertices in G. However, for trees T, there is a recursive formula to compute MaxMult(T). In this note we show that this recursive formula for MaxMult(T) also computes the path cover number $p$(T) of the tree T. This gives an alternative proof of the interesting result, MaxMult(T) = $p$(T).

본 연구는 화학교과 내용 맥락 하에서 모델링 실천을 통해 드러난 메타모델링 지식 구성요소별 인식수준을 진단함으로써 메타모델링 지식과 통합된 모델링 실천 프로그램 구성을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 하였다. A 과학 영재학교 2학년 재학생 16명을 대상으로 화학 교사가 변칙현상이 포함된 탐구기반 모델링을 진행하였으며, 모델의 가변성, 모델의 다중성, 모델링 과정 등 메타모델링 지식 구성요소별 인식수준을 분석하기 위하여 학생이 기록한 탐구노트와 연구자가 기록한 관찰노트를 분석에 활용하였다. 인식수준은 0단계부터 3단계까지 분류하였다. 분석 결과, 메타모델링 지식의 구성요소 중 모델링 과정에 대한 인식수준이 가장 높았으며 모델의 다중성 다음으로 모델의 가변성에 대한 인식수준이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 모델 가변성에 대한 낮은 인식수준의 원인은 학생들이 개념모델을 객관적 사실로 인식하는 것과 관련이 깊고, 모델 다중성에 대한 낮은 인식수준의 원인은 주어진 현상에 대해 오직 하나의 올바른 모델이 존재한다는 신념과 관련이 있다. 학생들은 개념모델을 화학기호와 같은 상징적 모델을 이용하여 정교화하였으나 모델링 전 과정에 영향을 주는 자료해석의 중요성에 대한 인식이 부족하였다. 모델의 본성을 명시적으로 안내할 수 있는 사전활동의 도입하고, 자료해석의 중요성을 구체적 예시를 통해 안내할 필요가 있다. 다른 관점에서 제안된 모델의 수용 가능성을 고려하고 검증하는 훈련이 모델링 실천 프로그램을 통해 이루어져야 한다.

We get a theorem that there exist at least two solutions for the piecewise linear suspension bridge equation with variable coefficient jumping nonlinearity and Dirichlet boundary condition when the variable coefficient of the nonlinear term crosses first two successive negative eigenvalues. We obtain this multiplicity result by applying Leray-Schauder degree theory.
