We investigate the oscillation of the fourth-order differential equation for a class of functional differential equations of the neutral type. We obtain a new single-oscillation criterion for the oscillation of all the solutions of our equation. We establish new monotonic properties for some cases of positive solutions of the studied equation. Moreover, we improve these properties by using an iterative method. This development of monotonic properties contributes to obtaining new and more efficient criteria for verifying the oscillation of the equation. The results obtained extend and improve previous findings in the literature by using an Euler-type equation as an example. The importance of the results was clarified by applying them to some special cases of the studied equation. The fourth-order delay differential equations have great practical importance due to their wide applications in civil, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering. Research on this type of equation is still ongoing due to its remarkable importance in many fields. Full article

In this article, we investigate some of the qualitative properties of a class of fourth-order neutral differential equations. We start by obtaining new inequalities and relations between the solution and its corresponding function, as well as with its derivatives. The new relations allow us to improve the monotonic and asymptotic properties of the positive solutions of the studied equation. Then, using an improved approach, we establish new criteria that test the oscillation of all solutions. We also rely on the principle of symmetry between positive and negative solutions to obtain the new criteria. The paper provides illustrative examples that highlight the significance of our findings.

This study addresses the nonlinear forced vibration of a functionally graded (FG) nanobeam subjected to mechanical impact and electromagnetic actuation. Two symmetrical actuators were present in the mechanical model, and their mechanical behaviors were analyzed considering the symmetry in actuation. The model considered the longitudinal–transverse vibration of a simple supported Euler–Bernoulli beam, which accounted for von Kármán geometric nonlinearity, including the first-order strain–displacement relationship. The FG nanobeam was made of a mixture of metals and ceramics, while the volume fraction varied in terms of thickness when a power law function was used. The nonlocal Eringen theory of elasticity was used to study the simple supported Euler–Bernoulli nanobeam. The nonlinear governing equations of the FG nanobeam and the associated boundary conditions were gained using Hamilton’s principle. To truncate the system with an infinite degree of freedom, the coupled longitudinal–transverse governing equations were discretized using the Galerkin–Bubnov approach. The resulting nonlinear, ordinary differential equations, which took into account the curvature of the nanobeam, were studied via the Optimal Auxiliary Functions Method (OAFM). For this complex nonlinear problem, an explicit, analytical, approximate solution was proposed near the primary resonance. The simultaneous effects of the following elements were considered in this paper: the presence of a curved nanobeam; the transversal inertia, which is not neglected in this paper; the mechanical impact; and electromagnetic actuation. The present study proposes a highly accurate analytical solution to the abovementioned conditions. Moreover, in these conditions, the study of local stability was developed using two variable expansion methods, the Jacobian matrix and Routh–Hurwitz criteria, and global stability was studied using the Lyapunov function.

In this study, we investigate the validity of the purchasing power parity (PPP) proposition for 34 European and selected global countries. For this purpose, we propose a new unit root test for cross-sectionally dependent heterogeneous panels that allows for gradual structural breaks and symmetric nonlinear adjustment toward the equilibrium level. The alternative hypothesis stationary is obtained by symmetric adjustment due to exponential smooth transition autoregression (ESTAR) around a nonlinear trend. Moreover, we provide small sample properties extensively for the newly proposed test. Hence, this alternative hypothesis has been proven to characterize real exchange rate data (REER) correctly. Thus, the newly proposed tests provide an essential basis for modeling the REER series correctly. Finally, we also derive the approximate asymptotic distribution of the proposed tests using new techniques. Full article

Soldering in a reflow oven is an important and efficient technical means to produce integrated circuit boards. The key to the quality of integrated circuit boards lies in the furnace temperature curve. In this paper, Newton’s law of cooling is used to establish the mechanism model of the temperature of each zone of the furnace and the curve of furnace temperature, which can reduce the number of experiments in actual production and obtain a better furnace temperature curve, thus improving production efficiency. Finally, several concrete examples are given to discuss and solve some common problems in the industry. Full article

w_{t} - Δ_{B} w - Δ_{B} w_{t} + \int_{0}^{t} g (t - τ) Δ_{B} w (τ) d τ = {| w |}^{p - 1} w - \frac{1}{| B |} \int_{B} {| w |}^{p - 1} w \frac{d x_{1}}{x_{1}} d x^{'}

Δ_{B}

is an asymmetry elliptic operator with conical degeneration on the boundary

x_{1} = 0

. Firstly, we discuss the symmetrical structure of invariant sets with the help of potential well theory. Then, the problem can be decomposed into two symmetric cases: if

w_{0} \in W

and

Π (w_{0}) > 0

, the global existence for the weak solutions will be discussed by a series of energy estimates under some appropriate assumptions on the relaxation function, initial data and the symmetric structure of invariant sets. On the contrary, if

w_{0} \in V

and

Π (w_{0}) < 0

, the nonexistence of global solutions, i.e., the solutions blow up in finite time, is obtained by using the convexity technique. Full article

In this paper, we focus on a generalized Camassa–Holm equation (also known as a gkCH equation), which includes both the Camassa–Holm equation and Novikov equation as two special cases. Because of the potential applications in physics, we will further investigate the properties of the equation from a mathematical point of view. More precisely, firstly, we give a new wave-breaking phenomenon. Then, we present the theorem of existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions for the equation, provided that the initial data satisfy certain sign conditions. Finally, we prove the Hölder continuity of a solution map for the equation. Full article
