The well-known Clausius–Planck inequality for solids is derived from the second law of thermodynamics and provides the important relation between stress and strain tensors according to the Coleman–Noll procedure. For the detailed derivation of this inequality, mass continuity equation, the equation of motion and the first law of thermodynamics in local form are required. The transfer of integral to local formulation can be calculated using Cauchy’s stress theorem and the divergence theorem. In the literature, however, there are two definitions for both, the Cauchy’s stress theorem and the divergence theorem for second-order tensors. The aim of this article is to show the resulting differences in the first principles for polar solids up to the first elasticity tensor for hyperelastic materials.

Since its first appearance in 1983, the filled function method, which was initiated to solve global optimization problems, has developed very rapidly. From the results conducted by many scholars, the ideal filled function has at least two properties: parameter-free and continuously differentiable. Several researchers have attempted to provide filled functions with such properties that meet the three axioms (filling properties) required by the filled function definition. The third axiom specifically states that the filled function has a minimum point in the region of attraction. This paper examines the fact that the currently available continuously differentiable parameter-free filled functions do not fulfil the third axiom of the filling properties by providing several counterexamples.

We consider the root-finding algorithms of Newton’s method, Halley’s method and Schröder’s method. These methods are known to have polynomials for which the method produces extraneous attracting cycles, i.e. the method is not generally convergent for these polynomials. We produce a family of polynomials that have an extraneous attracting cycle in all three methods. By doing so we show that mixing methods is not beneficial to overcoming the issues of general convergence. We also address a more specific result for the degree three case.

An extended mixed graph contains edges declared to be either positive, or negative, or oriented from one end to the other. They unify concepts of mixed graphs, signed graphs, oriented graphs and ordinary graphs. We demonstrate a method that establishes an upper bound for the largest singular value of the corresponding adjacency matrix in a bit general setting allowing the existence of loops at vertices. An upper bound for the largest singular value of the Laplacian matrix is extracted. The obtained bounds remain valid for the largest modulus of the corresponding eigenvalues, and cover the aforementioned particular structures.

In this article, we introduce the -Tseng’s extragradient method, inspired by the extragradient method defined by Korpelevich, for solving -variational inequality problems in Hilbert space. We also address a fixed point problem in a Hilbert space endowed with a graph using the proposed -Tseng’s extragradient method. In the context of Hilbert space, we establish weak and strong convergence theorems for the algorithm. Additionally, we provide numerical examples to support our findings.

In Chara and Toledano (2015) general conditions were given to prove the infiniteness of the genus of certain towers of function fields over a perfect field. It was shown that many examples where particular cases of those general results. In this paper the genus of a family of wild towers of function fields will be considered together with a result with less restrictive sufficient conditions for a wild tower to have infinite genus.

Let , and be graphs with pairwise disjoint vertex sets. The graph is obtained from the graphs (the corona product) and by joining each vertices of in with every vertices in . Two connected graphs are called distance equienergetic graphs if their distance energies are the same. Several methods for constructing distance equienergetic graphs have been presented in the literature, most constructed distance equienergetic graphs have diameters of 2 or 3. So the problem of constructing distance equienergetic graphs of diameter greater than 3 would be interesting. Another interesting problem posed by Indulal (2020) is to construct a pair of graphs which are both adjacency equienergetic and distance equienergetic. Motivated by these two problems, in this paper, we obtain the distance spectrum of when all these graphs are regular. As an application, we give a method to obtain distance equienergetic graphs of diameter 4. Also we construct a pair of graphs on vertices () which are both adjacency equienergetic and distance equienergetic graphs.
