The lifetime performance index is commonly used in the manufacturing industry to evaluate the performance of the capabilities of the production process. For products with multiple components, the comprehensive lifetime performance index, which is a monotonically increasing function of the overall process yield, is used to relate to each individual lifetime performance index. For products where the lifetime of the ith component follows an exponentiated Fréchet lifetime distribution, we examine the maximum likelihood estimators for both the comprehensive and individual lifetime performance indices based on the progressive type I interval-censored samples, deriving their asymptotic distributions. By specifying the target level for the comprehensive lifetime performance index, we can set the desired level for individual indices. A testing procedure, using the maximum likelihood estimator as the test statistic, was developed to determine if the comprehensive lifetime performance index meets the target. Given that the lifetime distribution is asymmetric, this study pertains to asymmetrical probability distributions and their applications across diverse fields. We illustrate the power analysis of this testing procedure with figures and summarize key findings. Finally, we demonstrate the application of this testing algorithm with a practical example involving two components to verify if the overall production process achieves the assigned target level.

In this paper, an inverse problem of determining a source in a time-fractional diffusion equation is investigated. A Fourier extension scheme is used to approximate the solution to avoid the impact on smoothness caused by directly using singular system eigenfunctions for approximation. A modified implicit iteration method is proposed as a regularization technique to stabilize the solution process. The convergence rates are derived when a discrepancy principle serves as the principle for choosing the regularization parameters. Numerical tests are provided to further verify the efficacy of the proposed method. Full article

Our paper proposes a system of nonlinear mixed variational inequality problems (SNMVIPs) on Banach spaces. Under suitable assumptions, using the K-Fan fixed point theorem and Minty techniques, we demonstrate that the solution set to the SNMVIP is nonempty, weakly compact, and unique. Additionally, we suggest a stability result for the SNMVIPs by perturbing the duality mappings. Furthermore, we present an optimal control problem that is governed by the SNMVIPs and show that it can be solved. Full article

In off-boundary computations of layer potentials, the near-singularities in integrals near the boundary presents challenges for conventional quadrature methods in achieving high precision. Additionally, the significant complexity of O(n2) interactions between n targets and n sources reduces the efficiency of these methods. A fast and accurate numerical algorithm is presented for computing the Laplace layer potentials on a circle with a boundary described by a polar curve. This method can maintain high precision even when evaluating targets located at a close distance from the boundary. The radial symmetry of the integral kernels simplifies their description. By exploiting the polar form of the boundary and applying a one-dimensional exponential sum approximation along the radial direction, an approximation of layer potentials by the convolution sum is obtained. The algorithm uses FFT convolution to accelerate computation and employs a local quadrature to maintain accuracy for nearly singular terms. Consequently, it achieves spectral accuracy in regions outside of a sufficiently small neighborhood of the boundary and requires O(nlogn) arithmetic operations. With the help of this algorithm, layer potentials can be efficiently evaluated on a computational domain. Full article

The field of multiplicative analysis has recently garnered significant attention, particularly in the context of solving multiplicative differential equations (MDEs). The symmetry concept in MDEs facilitates the determination of invariant solutions and the reduction of these equations by leveraging their intrinsic symmetrical properties. This study is motivated by the need for efficient methods to address MDEs, which are critical in various applications. Our novel contribution involves leveraging the fundamental properties of orthogonal polynomials, specifically Laguerre polynomials, to derive new solutions for MDEs. We introduce the definitions of Laguerre multiplicative differential equations and multiplicative Laguerre polynomials. By applying the power series method, we construct these multiplicative Laguerre polynomials and rigorously prove their basic properties. The effectiveness of our proposed solution is validated through illustrative examples, demonstrating its practical applicability and potential for advancing the field of multiplicative analysis.

The Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) method is one of the most significant methods for solving nonlinear equations as well as symmetric and asymmetric linear equations. To improve the method, this paper proposes a new adaptive LM algorithm by modifying the LM parameter, combining the trust region technique and the non-monotone technique. It is interesting that the new algorithm is constantly optimized by adaptively choosing the LM parameter. To evaluate the effectiveness of the new algorithm, we conduct tests using various examples. To extend the convergence results, we prove the convergence of the new algorithm under the Hölderian local error bound condition rather than the commonly used local error bound condition. Theoretical analysis and numerical results show that the new algorithm is stable and effective. Full article
