In this paper we consider the difference equation $$x_{n+1}=\frac{a+bx_{n-k}\;-\;cx_{n-m}}{1+g(x_{n-l})}$$ where a, b, c are nonegative real numbers, k, l, m are nonnegative integers and g(x) is a nonegative real function. The oscillatory and periodic character, the boundedness and the stability of positive solutions of the equation is investigated. The existence and nonexistence of two-period positive solutions are investigated in details. In the last section of the paper we consider a generalization of the equation.

The aim of this paper is to obtain nonlinear operators in suitable spaces whise fixed point coincide with the solutions of the nonlinear boundary value problems ($\Phi$($\upsilon$'))'=f(t, u, u'), l(u, u') = 0, where l(u, u')=0 denotes the Dirichlet, Neumann or periodic boundary conditions on [0, T], $\Phi$: N N is a suitable monotone monotone homemorphism and f:[0, T] N N is a Caratheodory function. The special case where $\Phi$(u) is the vector p-Laplacian $\mid$u$\mid$p-2u with p>1, is considered, and the applications deal with asymptotically positive homeogeneous nonlinearities and the Dirichlet problem for generalized Lienard systems.

Low frequency(<100Hz) weak magnetic field(<20gauss) is applied axially to an inductively coupled oxygen plasma(ICP), and its plasma characteristics are monitored by OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy) and Langmuir probe. It is found that periodic magnetic field enhances ashing rate by 25％ and improves its uniformity upto 4.5％ over 8" wafer. From electron energy distribution function, both low and high energy electrons are identified and relative abundancy is found to be controlled by the applied frequency. Moreover, it is observed that ionization and dissociation species are varied with applied frequency. We insert an aluminium baffle in the chamber to get better uniformity and less plasma damage.

This paper considered identification of vibration characteristics of flexible structure with vector channel periodic lattice filter. We present an algorithm for AR coefficients for the vector-channel lattice filters, and characteristic equation and transfer function are derived from these coefficients. Vibration lattice filter is then constructed from the vector channel lattice filter, and performance of this vibration filter is tested with a test signal which is a combination of many sine waves to compare the performance of scalar and vector channel lattice. Also it is applied to the cantilever data to identify properties of the system, such as natural frequencies and damping ratios, to show its performance.

By utilizing the concept of normal modes, nonlinear dynamics is studied on pendulum dynamic absorber. When the spring mode loses the stability in undamped free system, a dynamic two-well potential is formed in Poincare map. A procedure is formulated to compute the forced responses associated with bifurcating mode and predict double saddle-loop phenomenon. It is found that quasiperiodic motion and stable periodic motion coexist in some parameter ranges, and only periodic motions or rotation of pendulum with chaotic fluctuation are observed in other ranges.

The maintenance of a deteriorating system is often imperfect. Previous studies have shown that the imperfect preventive maintenance (PM) can reduce the wear out and aging effects of deteriorating systems to a certain level between the conditions of as good as new and as bad as old. In this paper, we employ the concept of the improvement factor in investigating two optimal PM policies; failure limit policy and periodic PM policy. We redefine the improvement factor model as a function of the cost of PM, using this concept, we derive the conditions of optimal PM policies and formulate expressions to compute the expected cost rate. Based on this information, the determination of the maintenance policies which minimize the cost rate is examined. Numerical examples for the Weibull distribution case are also given.

Dynamic stability of graded nonlocal nano-dimension plates on elastic substrate due to in-plane periodic loads has been researched via a novel 3- unknown plate theory based on exact position of neutral surface. Proposed theory confirms the shear deformation effects and contains lower field components in comparison to first order and refined 4- unknown plate theories. A modified power-law function has been utilized in order to express the porosity-dependent material coefficients. The equations of nanoplate have been represented in the context of Mathieu-Hill equations and Chebyshev-Ritz-Bolotin's approach has been performed to derive the stability boundaries. Detailed impacts of static/dynamic loading parameters, nonlocal constant, foundation parameters, material index and porosities on instability boundaries of graded nanoscale plates are researched.

The dynamic instability of snapping phenomena has been studied by many researchers. Few papers deal with dynamic buckling under loads with periodic characteristics, and the behavior under periodic excitations is expected to be different from behavior under STEP excitations. We investigate the fundamental mechanisms of the dynamic instability when the sinusoidally shaped arch structures are subjected to sinusoidally distributed excitations with pin-ends. The mechanisms of dynamic indirect snapping of shallow arches are especially investigated under not only STEP function excitations but also under sinusoidal harmonic excitations, applied in the up-and-down direction. The dynamic nonlinear responses are obtained by the numerical integration of the geometrically nonlinear equation of motion, and examined by Fourier spectral analysis in order to get the frequency-dependent characteristics of the dynamic instability for various load levels.

We consider the global existence of strong solutions of the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a thin periodic domain. We present a simple proof that a strong solution exists globally in time when the initial velocity in $H^1$ and the forcing function in $L^p$(0,${\infty}$;$L^2$), $2{\leq}p{\leq}{\infty}$ satisfy certain condition. This condition is basically similar to that by Iftimie and Raugel[7], which covers larger and larger initial data and forcing functions as the thickness of the domain ${\epsilon}$ tends to zero.

In this paper, we propose a maximum-likelihood estimation(MLE) method to obtain the location and the amplitude of the pulses in MPE( multi-pulse excitation)-LPC speech synthesis using multi-pulses as excitation source. This MLE method computes the value maximizing the likelihood function with respect to unknown parameters(amplitude and position of the pulses) for the observed data sequence. Thus in the case of overlapped pulses, the method is equivalent to Ozawa's crosscorrelation method, resulting in equal amount of computation and sound quality with the cross-correlation method. We show by computer simulation: the multi-pulses obtained by MLE method are(1) pseudo-periodic in pitch in the case of voicde sound, (2) the pulses are random for unvoiced sound, (3) the pulses change from random to periodic in the interval where the original speech signal changes from unvoiced to voiced. Short time power specta of original speech and syunthesized speech obtained by using multi-pulses as excitation source are quite similar to each other at the formants.
