In the homogenization theory, there are many examples where the effective conductivities of composite structures are power means of the local conductivities. The main aim of this paper is to initiate research concerning geometric construction of some power means of three or more variables. We contribute by giving methods for the geometric construction of the harmonic mean $ P_{-1} $ and the arithmetic ...

In this paper we characterize subsequences of Fejér means with respect to Vilenkin systems, which are bounded from the Hardy space <i>H_p</i> to the Lebesgue space <i>L_p</i>, for all 0 < p < 1/2. The result is in a sense sharp.

For Lebesgue spaces on Rⁿ, 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 ...

Development of snake robots have been motivated by the ability of snakes to move efficiently in unstructured and cluttered environments. A snake robot has the potential to utilise obstacles for generating locomotion, in contrast to wheeled robots which are unable to move efficiently in rough terrain. In this paper, we propose a local path planning algorithm for snake robots based on obstacle-aided ...

We study the large‐time behaviour of the fundamental solution of parabolic equations with an elliptic part being non‐local convolution‐type operator. We assume that this operator is a generator of a Markov jump process, and that its convolution kernel decays at least exponentially at infinity. The fundamental solution shows rather different asymptotic behaviour depending on whether | x | ≲ t , or t ...

Interactive computer based geometry editing is very useful for designers and artists. Our goal has been to develop useful tools for geometry editing in a way that increases the ability for creative design. When we interactively editing geometry, we want to see the change happening gradually and smoothly on the screen. Pre-evaluation is a tool for increasing the speed of the graphics when doing ...

The work presented has studied price developments in the day-ahead market. The statistical properties inherent in the time series constituting the day-to-day prices have been investigated. It is shown that these properties are radically different in 2022 than former years and resemble more chance like properties for which make predicting future peak prices especially hard. To overcome this, a space ...

This paper is devoted to investigating the sequence of some linear functionals in the space BV of finite variation functions. We prove that under certain conditions this sequence is bounded. We also prove that this result is sharp. In particular, the obtained results can be used to study convergence of some general Fourier series. Moreover, the obtained conditions seem to be new and useful also for ...

Transition curves are a useful tool for lateral alignment of railway segments. Their design is important to ensure safe and comfortable travel for passengers and cargo. Well designed transition curves can lead to reduced wear of tracks and vehicles, which is beneficial from a maintenance point of view. Extensive studies have been performed through decades to find transition curves that can replace ...
