Composites can be designed to have special properties, and even such properties that are difficult to find in nature. We propose a simple approach to realize negative expansion upon wetting, i.e., contraction upon wetting, using swelling materials. The key parameters in one-dimensional case are investigated, and the possible configurations for two and three-dimensional cases are presented. The feasibility is demonstrated through a simple test.

This paper is concerned with the design of an appropriate sampling plan or stopping rule and the construction of estimate for the estimation of process or lot fraction defective. Various sampling plans which are well known or have potential applications are unified into a generalized sampling plan. Under this sampling plan sufficient statistic, probability distribution, moment, and minimum variance unbiased estimate are obtained. Results for various sampling plans can be derived as special cases. Then, under given parameter values, the relative efficiencies of the various sampling plans are compared with respect to expected sample sizes and variances of estimates.

The auxiliary principle technique is used to prove the uniqueness and the existence of solutions for a class of nonlinear variational inequalities and suggest an innovative iterative algorithm for computing the approximate solution of variational inequalities. Error estimates for the finite element approximation of the solution of variational inequalities are derived, which refine the previous known results. An example is given to illustrate the applications of the results obtained. Several special cases are considered and studied.

A general class of two-point optimal fourth-order methods is proposed for locating multiple roots of a nonlinear equation. We investigate convergence analysis and computational properties for the family. Special and simple cases are considered for real-life applications. Numerical experiments strongly verify the convergence behavior and the developed theory.

We consider the problem of estimating the system reliability using noninformative priors when both stress and strength follow generalized gamma distributions with index, scale, and shape parameters. We first derive group-ordering reference priors using the reparametrization. We next provide the sufficient condition for propriety of posterior distributions and provide marginal posterior distributions under those noninformative priors. Finally, we provide and compare estimated values of the system reliability based on the simulated values of parameter of interest in some special cases.

Muskhelishvili's complex variable method has been applied to derive exact and closed expressions for Gaursat's functions for the first and second fundamental problems of the infinite plate weakened by a curvilinear hole which is conformally mapped on the domain outside the unit circle by means of rational mapping function. The hole having three poles. The previous work of the authers in this domain is considered as special cases of this work.

A new method is presented for the synthesis of lossy tapered transmission line having presecribed frequency characteristic in the passband. The theory of lossy case extends lossless cases suggested by Klopfenstein and others, and a special optimization process based on the Fourier transfrom pair and generalized Taylor's procedure is proposed for exact designs of frequency-dependent and distance-dependent lossy tapered line. The process is achieved by control of zero points of lobe-like input reflection coefficient. The validity of the suggested method is confirmed by synthesizing a lossy microstrip transformer and analyzing the simulation results.

For any completely regular Hausdorff space weighted operator on $C_{b}(X)$ is not necessarily compact. In this paper we find both necessary and sufficient conditions for a weighted operator on $C_{b}(X)$ to be compact. And known results in $uC_{\Phi}$ are shown to emerge as special cases.

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a class of iterative methods for solving hemiequilibrium problems using the auxiliary principle technique. We prove that the convergence of these new methods either requires partially relaxed strongly monotonicity or pseudomonotonicity, which is a weaker condition than monotonicity. Results obtained in this paper include several new and known results as special cases.

Conflict resolution methodology is discussed with fuzzified Pareto frontier. Four solution concepts namely the Nash solution the generalized nash solution the kalai-Smorodinsky concept and a solution method based on a special bargaining process are examined. The solutions are also fuzzy, the corresponding payoff values are fyzzy numbers the membership functions of which are determined. Three particular cases are considered in the paper. Linear quadratic, and general nonlinear pareto frontiers with known shape are examined.
