In this paper we study the class of convex sequences of higher order defined using the difference operators and investigate their properties. The notion of the convex sequence of order r ? N will be extended for r a real number. Some necessary and sufficient conditions such that a real sequence belongs to the class of convex sequences of higher order r ? R are introduced. Using different types of means we will investigate the convexity of higher order for real sequences.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.

In this paper the classes of extensional models of higher-order partial conditional specifications are studied, with the emphasis on the closure properties of these classes. Further it is shown that any equationally complete inference system for partial conditional specifications may be extended to an inference system for partial higher-order conditional specifications, which is equationally complete w.r.t. the class of all extensional models. Then, applying some previous results, a deduction system is proposed, equationally complete for the class of extensional models of a partial conditional specification. Finally, turning the attention to the special important case of termextensional models, it is first shown a sound and equationally complete inference system and then necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of free models, which are also free in the class of term-generated extensional models.

The necessary and sufficient conditions for the full input rotatability in a spherical four-bar linkage are proved. The direct criterion is: for all twist angles α in the range [0, π], the excess (deficit) of the sum of the frame and input twist angles over (from) π should, in absolute value, be greater than that for the coupler and follower twist angles; the difference between the follower and input twist angles, in absolute value, should be greater than that for the coupler and follower twist angles. Application of the direct criterion to full rotatability of other links are discussed and some variations in the form of the criterion are developed.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the Jacobian of a graph is generated by a divisor that is the difference of two vertices. This answers a question posed by Becker and Glass and allows us to prove various other propositions about the order of divisors that are the difference of two vertices. We conclude with some conjectures about these divisors on random graphs and support them with empirical evidence.

AbstractA structure on terms of faster convergent series is studied in the paper. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of faster convergent series with different types of terms are found. A faster convergence criteria for certain Kummer’s series is proved in this paper.
