      Moatamedi, Mojtaba; Al-Bahkali, Essam; Erchiqui, Fouad; Souli, M (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-31)
      The aim of this research is to assess the response of a thin membrane subjected to high-pressure gas loading for inflation. This procedure is applied during the design process of the membrane structure to allow the product to resist high-pressure loading and to further characterize the hyper-elastic material. The simulation in this work considers the standard procedures used in the LS-DYNA software, ...

    • On a New Class of Hardy-type Inequalities 

      Adeleke, EO; Cizmesija, Aleksandra; Oguntuase, JA; Persson, Lars Erik; Pokaz, D (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-11-05)
      In this paper, we generalize a Hardy-type inequality to the class of arbitrary non-negative functions bounded from below and above with a convex function multiplied with positive real constants. This enables us to obtain new generalizations of the classical integral Hardy, Hardy-Hilbert, Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya, and Pólya-Knopp inequalities as well as of Godunova’s and of some recently obtained ...

    • Weighted fractional Hardy operators and their commutators on generalized Morrey spaces over quasi-metric measure spaces 

      Samko, Natasha Gabatsuyevna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-22)
      We study commutators of weighted fractional Hardy-type operators within the frameworks of local generalized Morrey spaces over quasi-metric measure spaces for a certain class of “radial” weights. Quasi-metric measure spaces may include, in particular, sets of fractional dimentsions. We prove theorems on the boundedness of commutators with CMO coefficients of these operators. Given a domain ...
    • Some New Fourier and Jackson–Nikol’skii Type Inequalities in Unbounded Orthonormal Systems 

      Singh, Harpal; Persson, Lars-Erik; Akishev, Gabdolla (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-16)
      We consider the generalized Lorentz space L_ψ,q defined via a continuous and concave function ψ and the Fourier series of a function with respect to an unbounded orthonormal system. Some new Fourier and Jackson-Nikol’skii type inequalities in this frame are stated, proved and discussed. In particular, the derived results generalize and unify several well-known results but also some new applications ...
    • On Weighted Fourier InequalitieS –– Some New Scales of Equivalent Conditions 

      Kufner, Alois; Persson, Lars-Erik; Samko, Natasha G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06)
      For Lebesgue spaces on R<sup>n</sup>, we study two-weight p → q-inequalities for Fourier transform. Some sufficient conditions on weights for such inequalities are known for special ranges of parameters p and q. In the same ranges of parameters we show, that in every case each of those conditions can be replaced by infinitely many conditions, even by continuous scales of conditions. We also ...
    • Topological Singularities in Periodic Media: Ginzburg–Landau and Core-Radius Approaches 

      Alicandro, Roberto; Braides, Andrea; Cicalese, Marco; De Luca, Lucia; Piatnitski, Andrey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-20)
      We describe the emergence of topological singularities in periodic media within the Ginzburg–Landau model and the core-radius approach. The energy functionals of both models are denoted by Eε,δ, where ε represent the coherence length (in the Ginzburg–Landau model) or the core-radius size (in the core-radius approach) and δ denotes the periodicity scale. We carry out the -convergence analysis ...
