Relative efficiency revealed: Equations for k<inf>1</inf>&#x2013;k<inf>6</inf> of the PVGIS model
2014
The European PV Geographical Information System (PVGIS) describes module performance in terms of the relative efficiency with respect to Standard Testing Conditions (STC). The efficiency's dependence on irradiance and operating temperature is modeled with a bi-quadratic polynomial with respect to the relative temperature and the logarithm of relative irradiance. In earlier works, the present author derived relations between two model coefficients describing the irradiance dependence at 25°C, k 1 and k 2 , and I–V curve model parameters such as the series resistance RS and the ideality factor n. There was good agreement between the theoretical and fitted values of k 1 , but the fitted values…
Zeroes of real polynomials on C(K) spaces
2007
AbstractFor a compact Hausdorff topological space K, we show that the function space C(K) must satisfy the following dichotomy: (i) either it admits a positive definite continuous 2-homogeneous real-valued polynomial, (ii) or every continuous 2-homogeneous real-valued polynomial vanishes in a non-separable closed linear subspace. Moreover, if K does not have the Countable Chain Condition, then every continuous polynomial, not necessarily homogeneous and with arbitrary degree, has constant value in an isometric copy of c0(Γ), for some uncountable Γ.
The Plateau-Bézier Problem
2003
We study the Plateau problem restricted to polynomial surfaces using techniques coming from the theory of Computer Aided Geometric Design. The results can be used to obtain polynomial approximations to minimal surfaces. The relationship between harmonic Bezier surfaces and minimal surfaces with free boundaries is shown.
Analysis of negative-resistance oscillators with piecewise nonlinearity
1977
An iterative method of solution of negative-resistance oscillators with piecewise-analytical characteristics is presented. The method allows the determination of the frequency and the harmonic content of the waveform as a function of the circuit parameters and bias of the nonlinear device. An application of the method, extended to the second order, for a polynomial characteristic limited by two straight lines is also reported. The results are compared with those obtained by numerical integration.
Upper bounds for the zeros of ultraspherical polynomials
1990
AbstractFor k = 1, 2, …, [n2] let xnk(λ) denote the Kth positive zero in decreasing order of the ultraspherical polynomial Pn(λ)(x). We establish upper bounds for xnk(λ). All the bounds become exact when λ = 0 and, in some cases (see case (iii) of Theorem 3.1), also when λ = 1. As a consequence of our results, we obtain for the largest zero xn1(λ)0.. We point out that our results remain useful for large values of λ. Numerical examples show that our upper bounds are quite sharp.
Triangular Bézier Approximations to Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
2008
We give a method to generate polynomial approximations to constant mean curvature surfaces with prescribed boundary. We address this problem by finding triangular Bezier extremals of the CMC-functional among all polynomial surfaces with a prescribed boundary. Moreover, we analyze the $\mathcal{C}^1$ problem, we give a procedure to obtain solutions once the tangent planes for the boundary curves are also given.
Darboux Linearization and Isochronous Centers with a Rational First Integral
1997
Abstract In this paper we study isochronous centers of polynomial systems. It is known that a center is isochronous if and only if it is linearizable. We introduce the notion of Darboux linearizability of a center and give an effective criterion for verifying Darboux linearizability. If a center is Darboux linearizable, the method produces a linearizing change of coordinates. Most of the known polynomial isochronous centers are Darboux linearizable. Moreover, using this criterion we find a new two-parameter family of cubic isochronous centers and give the linearizing changes of coordinates for centers belonging to that family. We also determine all Hamiltonian cubic systems which are Darbou…
Weak mixing implies weak mixing of higher orders along tempered functions
2009
AbstractWe extend the weakly mixing PET (polynomial ergodic theorem) obtained in Bergelson [Weakly mixing PET. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.7 (1987), 337–349] to much wider families of functions. Besides throwing new light on the question of ‘how much higher-degree mixing is hidden in weak mixing’, the obtained results also show the way to possible new extensions of the polynomial Szemerédi theorem obtained in Bergelson and Leibman [Polynomial extensions of van der Waerden’s and Szemerédi’s theorems. J. Amer. Math. Soc.9 (1996), 725–753].
POLYNOMIAL NUMERICAL INDEX FOR SOME COMPLEX VECTOR-VALUED FUNCTION SPACES
2007
We study in this paper the relation between the polynomial numerical indices of a complex vector-valued function space and the ones of its range space. It is proved that the spaces C(K,X), and L∞(μ,X) have the same polynomial numerical index as the complex Banach space X for every compact Hausdorff space K and every σ-finite measure μ, which does not hold any more in the real case. We give an example of a complex Banach space X such that, for every k > 2, the polynomial numerical index of order k of X is the greatest possible, namely 1, while the one of X∗∗ is the least possible, namely k k 1−k . We also give new examples of Banach spaces with the polynomial Daugavet property, namely L∞(μ,X…
Three solutions for parametric problems with nonhomogeneous (a,2)-type differential operators and reaction terms sublinear at zero
2019
Abstract We consider parametric Dirichlet problems driven by the sum of a Laplacian and a nonhomogeneous differential operator ( ( a , 2 ) -type equation) and with a reaction term which exhibits arbitrary polynomial growth and a nonlinear dependence on the parameter. We prove the existence of three distinct nontrivial smooth solutions for small values of the parameter, providing sign information for them: one is positive, one is negative and the third one is nodal.
