Lercho ir Selbergo dzeta funkcijų reikšmių pasiskirstymai /
… using MATHEMATICA. In the third chapter, the monotonicity properties of Selberg zeta-functions are investigated. Monotonicity of these two functions is directly related to the location of zeros in the critical strip. The results are compared to the monotonicity properties of the Riemann …

Some New Results on Difference Equations of Convolution Type
… equations with coefficients satisfying some monotonicity properties. Methods from renewal theory are employed to obtain easily verified conditions for asymptotic stability of the zero solution, in terms of the coefficient sequence. Explicit bounds and rates of convergence are considered. We …

Piecewise smooth systems and monotonicity.
… switched positive systems and investigate the monotonicity properties of such systems. We describe many examples of such systems, particulary drawing from the mathematical biology literature, in order to motivate the work in later chapters. We describe the mathematical theory behind our work in …

Qualitative Properties Of Solutions Of Fully Nonlinear Equations And Overdetermined Problems
… We</p> <p>obtain the radial symmetry and monotonicity properties for</p> <p>nonnegative viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear equations under some asymptotic decay rate at infinity. Our symmetry and monotonicity results also</p> <p>apply to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman or Isaccs equations. A …

Distribution of sequences related to L-functions
… we expand the class of Dirichlet series whose monotonicity properties are known. In particular, we describe a large class of Dirichlet series that are not logarithmically completely monotonic. Using similar techniques, an equivalent formulation of the Riemann Hypothesis for the Ramanujan-tau …

Stability Analysis of Unconstrained Receding Horizon Control Schemes
… horizon stage costs. Furthermore, symmetry and monotonicity properties are rigorously shown which pave the way in order to develop algorithms such that the prediction horizon and, thus, the computational costs can be reduced while maintaining a desired performance guarantee. Since many …

Partitions into prime powers and related divisor functions
… of an integer n. Initially we look at basic properties of prime symmetric functions, and consider analogues of questions posed for the usual sum of proper divisors function, such as those concerning perfect numbers or Aliquot sequences. We consider the inverse question of when, and in how …

Supply Chain Management: Supplier Financing Schemes and Inventory Strategies
… this area. In Chapter 4, we therefore study monotonicity properties of stochastic inventory systems governed by an (r; q) or (r; nq) policy and apply the results in our general theorems both to standard inventory models and to those with general shelf age and delay dependent inventory costs.

Three Essays on Dynamic Pricing and Resource Allocation
… policy is not simple but exhibits desirable monotonicity properties. Furthermore, we propose a simple threshold heuristic policy that performs well in our experiments. In Chapter 3, we study a dynamic pricing problem for a monopolist seller that operates in a setting where buyers have market …

Pricing, Variety, and Inventory Decisions in Retail Operations Management
… model allows us to obtain strong structural and monotonicity results. In particular, we find that the expected profit at optimal inventory levels is unimodal in the assortment size, which implies that the optimal assortment size is finite. By comparison to the riskless case, we find that this …
