A nonlinear inverse problem of antiplane elasticity for a multiply connected domain is examined. It is required to determine the profile of $n$ uniformly stressed inclusions when the surrounding infinite body is subjected to antiplane uniform shear at infinity. A method of conformal mappings of circular multiply connected domains is employed. The conformal map is recovered by solving consequently two Riemann-Hilbert problems for piecewise analytic symmetric automorphic functions. For domains associated with the first class Schottky groups a series-form representation of a ($3n-4$) parametric family of conformal maps solving the problem is discovered. Numerical results for two and three uniformly stressed inclusions are reported and discussed.
A strategy to address the inverse Galois problem over Q consists of exploiting the knowledge of Galois representations attached to certain automorphic forms. More precisely, if such forms are carefully chosen, they provide compatible systems of Galois representations satisfying some desired properties, e.g. properties that reflect on the image of the members of the system. In this article we survey some results obtained using this strategy.
Let $es$ be the class of analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk $|z|<1$, that have a series of the form $f(z)=z+ sum_{n=2}^{infty}a_nz^n$. Let $F$ be the inverse of the function $fines$ with the series expansion %in a disk of radius at least $1/4$ $F(w)=f^{-1}(w)=w+ sum_{n=2}^{infty}A_nw^n$ for $|w|<1/4$. The logarithmic inverse coefficients $Gamma_n$ of $F$ are defined by the formula $logleft(F(w)/wright),=,2sum_{n=1}^{infty}Gamma_n(F)w^n$. % In this paper, we determine the logarithmic inverse coefficients bound of $F$ for the class In this paper, we first determine the sharp bound for the absolute value of $Gamma_n(F)$ when $f$ belongs to $es$ and for all $n geq 1$. This result motivates us to carry forward similar problems for some of its important geometric subclasses. In some cases, we have managed to solve this question completely but in some other cases it is difficult to handle for $ngeq 4$. For example, in the case of convex functions $f$, we show that the logarithmic inverse coefficients $Gamma_n(F)$ of $F$ satisfy the inequality [ |Gamma_n(F)|,le , frac{1}{2n} mbox{ for } ngeq 1,2,3 ] and the estimates are sharp for the function $l(z)=z/(1-z)$. Although this cannot be true for $nge 10$, it is not clear whether this inequality could still be true for $4leq nleq 9$.
In the present work, we propose to investigate the Fekete-Szego inequalities certain classes of analytic and bi-univalent functions defined by subordination. The results in the bounds of the third coefficient which improve many known results concerning different classes of bi-univalent functions. Some interesting applications of the results presented here are also discussed.
The task of finding the smallest energy needed to bring a solid to its onset of mechanical instability arises in many problems in materials science, from the determination of the elasticity limit to the consistent assignment of free energies to mechanically unstable phases. However, unless the space of possible deformations is low-dimensional and a priori known, this problem is numerically difficult, as it involves minimizing a function under a constraint on its Hessian, which is computionally prohibitive to obtain in low symmetry systems, especially if electronic structure calculations are used. We propose a method that is inspired by the well-known dimer method for saddle point searches but that adds the necessary ingredients to solve for the lowest onset of mechanical instability. The method consists of two nested optimization problems. The inner one involves a dimer-like construction to find the direction of smallest curvature as well as the gradient of this curvature function. The outer optimization then minimizes energy using the result of the inner optimization problem to constrain the search to the hypersurface enclosing all points of zero minimum curvature. Example applications to both model systems and electronic structure calculations are given.
In this sequel to the recent work (see Azizi et al., 2015), we investigate a subclass of analytic and bi-univalent functions in the open unit disk. We obtain bounds for initial coefficients, the Fekete-Szego inequality and the second Hankel determinant inequality for functions belonging to this subclass. We also discuss some new and known special cases, which can be deduced from our results.
