A kinematic theory is developed involving infinitesimally close coplanar positions of a moving plane, based on a finite cycloidal kinematic theory of plane motion, which was shown to include Burmester’s classical centerpoint-circlepoint theory as one of several special cases. The infinitesimal theory is developed for both the general cycloidal and for the special circular (Burmester) cases. Applications are derived for closed-form analytic synthesis of higher-order approximate path and motion generator linkages. Examples are given, and implementations of the theory in the form of computer programs are made available.

One of the basic theories of kinematic synthesis, namely, Burmester’s classical centerpoint-circlepoint theory, is shown to be one of several special cases of a broader, more general new theory, involving points of the moving plane whose several corresponding positions lie on cycloidal curves. These curves may be generated by “cycloidal cranks.” Such “cycloidpoints,” centers of their generating circles (“circlepoints”) and base circles (“centerpoints”) are proposed to be called “Burmester point trios” (BPT’s). In case of 6 prescribed arbitrary positions, such BPT’s appear to lie, respectively, on three higher plane curves proposed to be called “cycloidpoint,” “circlepoint” and “centerpoint curves,” or, collectively, “generalized Burmester curves.” In the case of hypocycloidal cranks with “Cardanic” proportions, the hypocycloids become ellipses. For 7 prescribed positions, the number of BPT’s is finite. Application to linkage synthesis for motion generation with prescribed order and timing is presented and cognate-motion generator linkages, based on multiple generation of cycloidal curves, are shown to exist. Analytical derivations are outlined for the equations of the “generalized Burmester curves,” and possible further specializations and generalizations are indicated.

The concept of ranked order probability distribution unveils natural probabilistic interpretations for the kink waves (and hence the solitons) solving higher order dispersive Burgers’ type PDEs. Thanks to this underlying structure, it is possible to propose a systematic derivation of exact solutions for PDEs with a quadratic nonlinearity of the Burgers’ type but with arbitrary dispersive orders. As illustrations, we revisit the dissipative Kotrweg de Vries, Kuramoto-Sivashinski, and Kawahara equations (involving third, fourth, and fifth order dispersion dynamics), which in this context appear to be nothing but the simplest special cases of this infinitely rich class of nonlinear evolutions.

AbstractIn this paper we give some theoretical explanations related to the representation for the general solution of the system of the higher-order rational difference equations$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle x_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2y_{n-k}}{3+y_{n-k}},\qquad y_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2z_{n-k}}{3+z_{n-k}},\qquad z_{n+1} = \dfrac{1+2x_{n-k}}{3+x_{n-k}}, \end{array}$$where n, k∈ ℕ0, the initial values x−k, x−k+1, …, x0, y−k, y−k+1, …, y0, z−k, z−k+1, …, z1 and z0 are arbitrary real numbers do not equal −3. This system can be solved in a closed-form and we will see that the solutions are expressed using the famous Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

To trace rays very close to the nth electron cyclotron harmonic, we need the mildly relativistic plasma dispersion function and its higher-order derivatives. Expressions for these functions have been obtained as an expansion for nearly perpendicular propagation in a region where computer programs have previously experienced difficulty in accuracy, namely when the magnitude of (c/vt)2 (ω−nωc)/ω is between 1 and 10. In this region, the large-argument expansions are not yet valid, but partial cancellations of terms occur. The expansion is expressed as a sum over derivatives of the ordinary dispersion function Z. New expressions are derived to relate higher-order derivatives of Z to Z itself in this region of concern in terms of a finite series.

In this paper, the derivation of irreducible bases for a class of isotropic 2 n th-order tensors having particular ‘minor symmetries’ is presented. The methodology used for obtaining these bases consists of extending the concept of deviatoric and spherical parts, commonly used for second-order tensors, to the case of an n th-order tensor. It is shown that these bases are useful for effecting the classical tensorial operations and especially the inversion of a 2 n th-order tensor. Finally, the formalism introduced in this study is applied for obtaining the closed-form expression of the strain field within a spherical inclusion embedded in an infinite elastic matrix and subjected to linear or quadratic polynomial remote strain fields.

The linear thermoelastic problem is solved for a uniform heat flow disturbed by a hole of ovaloid form, which includes the ellipse and circle as special cases. Results for stress and displacement are found in closed form, by reducing the problem to one of boundary loading solvable by a method of Muskhelishvili.

A closed form expression for a triple integral not previously considered is derived, in terms of the Lerch function. Almost all Lerch functions have an asymmetrical zero-distribution. The kernel of the integral involves the product of the logarithmic, exponential, quotient radical, and polynomial functions. Special cases are derived in terms of fundamental constants; results are summarized in a table. All results in this work are new.

The idea of the system signature is extended here to the case of ordered system lifetimes arising from a test of coherent systems with a signature. An expression is given for the computation of the ordered system signatures in terms of the usual system signature for system lifetimes. Some properties of the ordered system signatures are then established. Closed-form expressions for the ordered system signatures are obtained in some special cases, and some illustrative examples are presented.
