An algebraic operator approach to the analysis of Gerber-Shiu functions

We introduce an algebraic operator framework to study discounted penalty functions in renewal risk models. For inter-arrival and claim size distributions with rational Laplace transform, the usual integral equation is transformed into a boundary value problem, which is solved by symbolic techniques. The factorization of the differential operator can be lifted to the level of boundary value problems, amounting to iteratively solving first-order problems. This leads to an explicit expression for the Gerber-Shiu function in terms of the penalty function.

The Wiener criterion for the Laplacian and the heat operator

La tesi presenta il criterio di regolarità di Wiener dell’ambito classico dell’operatore di Laplace ed in seguito alcune nozioni di teoria del potenziale e la dimostrazione del criterio nel caso dell’operatore del calore; in questa seconda sezione viene dedicata particolare attenzione alle formule di media e ad una diseguaglianza forte di Harnack, che risultano fondamentali nella trattazione dell’argomento centrale.

An alternating potential based approach for a Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation in a planar domain with a cut

We consider a Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation in a bounded region containing a cut, where the region is formed by removing a sufficiently smooth arc (the cut) from a bounded simply connected domain D. The aim is to reconstruct the solution on the cut from the values of the solution and its normal derivative on the boundary of the domain D. We propose an alternating iterative method which involves solving direct mixed problems for the Laplace operator in the same region. These mixed problems have either a Dirichlet or a Neumann boundary condition imposed on the cut and are solved by a potential approach. Each of these mixed problems is reduced to a system of integral equations of the first kind with logarithmic and hypersingular kernels and at most a square root singularity in the densities at the endpoints of the cut. The full discretization of the direct problems is realized by a trigonometric quadrature method which has super-algebraic convergence. The numerical examples presented illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

Eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions of the fractional Laplace and Dirac operators: the Riemann-Liouville case

In this paper we study eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions for the three parameter fractional Laplace operator $\Delta_+^{(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)}:= D_{x_0^+}^{1+\alpha} +D_{y_0^+}^{1+\beta} +D_{z_0^+}^{1+\gamma},$ where $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) \in \,]0,1]^3$, and the fractional derivatives $D_{x_0^+}^{1+\alpha}$, $D_{y_0^+}^{1+\beta}$, $D_{z_0^+}^{1+\gamma}$ are in the Riemann-Liouville sense. Applying operational techniques via two-dimensional Laplace transform we describe a complete family of eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions of the operator $\Delta_+^{(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)}$ in classes of functions admitting a summable fractional derivative. Making use of the Mittag-Leffler function, a symbolic operational form of the solutions is presented. From the obtained family of fundamental solutions we deduce a family of fundamental solutions of the fractional Dirac operator, which factorizes the fractional Laplace operator. We apply also the method of separation of variables to obtain eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions.

Eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions of the Caputo fractional Laplace and Dirac operators

In this paper, by using the method of separation of variables, we obtain eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions for the three parameter fractional Laplace operator defined via fractional Caputo derivatives. The solutions are expressed using the Mittag-Leffler function and we show some graphical representations for some parameters. A family of fundamental solutions of the corresponding fractional Dirac operator is also obtained. Particular cases are considered in both cases.

ZETA DETERMINANT AND OPERATOR DETERMINANTS

We apply techniques of zeta functions and regularized products theory to study the zeta determinant of a class of abstract operators with compact resolvent, and in particular the relation with other spectral functions.

Study of the influence of indium segregation on the optical properties of InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells via split-operator method

In the case of quantum wells, the indium segregation leads to complex potential profiles that are hardly considered in the majority of the theoretical models. The authors demonstrated that the split-operator method is useful tool for obtaining the electronic properties in these cases. Particularly, they studied the influence of the indium surface segregation in optical properties of InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells. Photoluminescence measurements were carried out for a set of InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells and compared to the results obtained theoretically via split-operator method, showing a good agreement.

Estimating losses in teleportation schemes using the phenomenological operator approach to dissipation in cavity quantum electrodynamics

In this paper, we estimate the losses during teleportation processes requiring either two high-Q cavities or a single bimodal cavity. The estimates were carried out using the phenomenological operator approach introduced by de Almeida et al. [Phys. Rev. A 62, 033815 (2000)].

Homogenization in a thin domain with an oscillatory boundary

In this paper we analyze the behavior of the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions in a thin domain of the type R(epsilon) = {(x(1), x(2)) is an element of R(2) vertical bar x(1) is an element of (0, 1), 0 < x(2) < epsilon G(x(1), x(1)/epsilon)} where the function G(x, y) is periodic in y of period L. Observe that the upper boundary of the thin domain presents a highly oscillatory behavior and, moreover, the height of the thin domain, the amplitude and period of the oscillations are all of the same order, given by the small parameter epsilon.

Non-linear boundary element formulation applied to contact analysis using tangent operator

This work presents a non-linear boundary element formulation applied to analysis of contact problems. The boundary element method (BEM) is known as a robust and accurate numerical technique to handle this type of problem, because the contact among the solids occurs along their boundaries. The proposed non-linear formulation is based on the use of singular or hyper-singular integral equations by BEM, for multi-region contact. When the contact occurs between crack surfaces, the formulation adopted is the dual version of BEM, in which singular and hyper-singular integral equations are defined along the opposite sides of the contact boundaries. The structural non-linear behaviour on the contact is considered using Coulomb`s friction law. The non-linear formulation is based on the tangent operator in which one uses the derivate of the set of algebraic equations to construct the corrections for the non-linear process. This implicit formulation has shown accurate as the classical approach, however, it is faster to compute the solution. Examples of simple and multi-region contact problems are shown to illustrate the applicability of the proposed scheme. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
