Oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for quasilinear differential equations

AbstractSome oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for quasilinear differential equations of second order are obtained. These results are extensions of earlier results of Huang (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 210 (1997) 712–723) and Elbert (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 226 (1998) 207–219)

Corrected proof of the result of ‘A prediction error property of the Lasso estimator and its generalization’ by Huang (2003)

The Lasso achieves variance reduction and variable selection by solving an ℓ 1 -regularized least squares problem. Huang (2003) claims that ‘there always exists an interval of regularization parameter values such that the corresponding mean squared prediction error for the Lasso estimator is smaller than for the ordinary least square estimator’. This result is correct. However, its proof in Huang (2003) is not. This paper presents a corrected proof of the claim, which exposes and uses some interesting fundamental properties of the Lasso.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/72873/1/j.1467-842X.2004.00347.x.pd

Comment on ``Periodic wave functions and number of extended states in random dimer systems'

There are no periodic wave-functions in the RDM but close to the critical energies there exist periodic envelopes. These envelopes are given by the non-disordered properties of the system.Comment: RevTex file, 1 page, Comment X. Huang, X. Wu and C. Gong, Phys. Rev. B 55, 11018 (1997

Dynamical Evolution of Gamma-Ray Burst Remnants with Evolving Radiative Efficiency

In previous works, a generic dynamical model has been suggested by Huang et al., which is shown to be correct for both adiabatic and radiative blastwaves, and in both ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic phases. In deriving their equations, Huang et al. have assumed that the radiative efficiency of the fireball is constant. They then applied their model directly to realistic cases where the radiative efficiency evolves with time. In this paper, we abandon the above assumption and re-derive a more accurate dynamical equation for gamma-ray burst remnants. Numerical results show that Huang et al.'s model is accurate enough in general cases.Comment: 10 pages, 5 embedded eps figures, to appear in: Chin. J. Astron. Astrophys. (2002), Vol

Abstract metric spaces and Hardy-Rogers-type theorems

The purpose of the present paper is to establish coincidence point theorem for two mappings and fixed point theorem for one mapping in abstract metric space which satisfy contractive conditions of Hardy-Rogers type. Our results generalize fixed point theorems of Nemytzki [V.V. Nemytzki, Fixed point method in analysis, Uspekhi Mat. Nauk 1 (1936) 141-174], Edelstein I M. Edelstein, On fixed and periodic point under contractive mappings, J. Lond. Math. Soc. 37 (1962) 74-79] and Huang, Zhang [LG. Huang, X. Zhang, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2)(2007) 1468-1476] from abstract metric spaces to symmetric spaces (Theorem 2.1) and to metric spaces (Theorem 2.4, Corollaries 2.6-2.8). Two examples are given to illustrate the usability of our results

2D-Delocalized vs Confined Diradicals

Resumen de la comunicación oral seleccionadaDiradicals are beautiful chemical objects where the more basic and intricate aspects of the chemical bonding are revealed.1 Not this being important enough, nowadays, diradical-based substrates are becoming very appealing for new organic electronic applications. We focus here in conjugated organic diradicals formed by competition between non-aromatic quinoidal structures and their canonical aromatic forms. How this quinoidal(closed-shell)-vs-aromatic(open-shell) energetic balance producing the diradical is affected by several situations has been our objective in the last few years.2 Now, we focusses on how the properties of diradicals are influenced when several diradical canonical forms are available in such a way that create a 2D (i.e., bidimensional) electron delocalization surface in which the diradical substructures are in cross-conjugation mode producing the curious effect of diradical confinement.3 Herein, the diradical molecular properties of compound 1 in Figure 1 will be discussed in connection with 2D delocalization, cross-conjugation and surface confinement. 1.
