Foreword

This report is the fourth since the Research Group in Mathematical Inequalities and Applications (RGMIA) was founded in 1998 by the team currently working in the School of Computer Science and Mathematics. The group is led by this same team and has a world-wide membership in excess of 700. Mathematical Inequalities and Applications is one of the three main research areas of the School of Computer Science and Mathematics and work conducted by the key members of the RGMIA forms an integral part of the research effort in the Faculty of Science Engineering and Technology at Victoria University. Research is carried out in mathematical inequalities that have a large potential for application to practical problems. These have impacted the areas of numerical analysis, probability theory and statistics, information theory, coding and guessing and the qualitative theory of differential and integral equations, which provide models for a large number of physical and engineer phenomena. The initiative to provide electronic access to the RGMIA Research Report Collection has proven beneficial (see the article by Lawrence on page 24). The printed collection is used in exchange for over 70 international journals and the electronic version has provided a forum for stimulating research in mathematical inequalities throughout the world. The electronic peer-reviewed, Journal of Inequalities in Pure and Applied Mathematics (JIPAM), also established at Victoria University, has seen a growth to five issues per year. A recent special issue (Volume 4, Issue 3(GI8)) was devoted to publishing the proceedings of an elite international meeting on General Inequalities. The activities of the group have brought considerable international recognition to Victoria University. The group maintains active research contact with other national & international researchers including researchers from Australia, USA, Croatia, Romania, Austria, Canada, Korea and others. The RGMIA has hosted a number of international visitors and is seen as the number one group in the domain worldwide. The forum created by the RGMIA has been able to transcend the barriers of time, cost and access frequently imposed by the large publishing houses. Associate Professor Pietro Cerone, Head of School of Computer Science and Mathematics

Preface

The RGMIA was founded in September 1998 by Professor S.S. Dragomir and now in its fourth year continues to attract new members worldwide. The group aims to:

• disseminate results via publication (both in print and electronic form) and conferences,

• create an awareness of the theory of inequalities and support seminars and visiting academics,

• illustrate the applicability of inequalities in the sciences. For e.g. numerical analysis, statistics, probability and information theory.

The group is nurtured and co-ordinated by the local Victoria University group comprising of:

● N. S. Barnett ● P. Cerone ● F. Cirstea ● N. Diamond ● S.S. Dragomir ● I. Gomm ● G. Hanna ● J. Horwood ● A. McAndrew

● R. Moore ● J. Roumeliotis ● G. Sorrentino ● F. Scarmozzino ● N. Sharda ● A. Sofo ● G. Thorpe ● D. Watson

Report

The “Theory of Mathematical Inequalities”, as may easily be seen in Mathematical Reviews, section 26Dxx, edited by the American Mathematical Society, is a domain of Mathematical Analysis which has grown ten fold in as many years. In its five years of existence, the RGMIA has played a leading role in the growth of Mathematical Inequalities.

In the period beginning 1st September, 2001 and ending 31st December, 2003 the group has seen

• the continued and growing success of its brainchild: “The Journal of Inequalities in Pure and Applied Mathematics” (JIPAM).

• 230+ publications by key V.U. members (1-Jan-2001 ─ 31-Dec-2003)

The research output of the key members of the RGMIA in the year 2001 was impressive. Together, they had 54 published articles in refereed journals for the year 2001. To put this more globally, that is 85.7% of the sixty-three papers published by the School of Communications and Informatics, 46.2% of the one hundred and seventeen papers published by the Faculty of Engineering and Science, and 18.1% of the total two hundred and ninety-nine University’s published papers.

This trend continued throughout 2002 and 2003 (see appendices for details) and looks set to continue this year. In summary, the output of the group in peer reviewed international journals and books since its inception, is as follows:

• 1998: 26 research papers • 1999: 39 research papers • 2000: 60 research papers and chapters in books • 2001: 65 research papers and chapters in books, one edited book • 2002: 81 research papers and chapters in books, one edited book • 2003: 65 research papers and chapters in books, two edited books, two

authored books These publications attract funding to the University via the research quantum. On an average basis across the years, each publication has brought to the University approximately $850, half of which has flowed directly to the Faculty and the balance has been used by the University on research related activities. In addition to this, for each of these publications approximately $1700 has flowed to the University to fund places for higher degree by research students. In total, for each of the years 1998-2002, publications of the group have attracted $66,300; $99,450; $124,491; $144,238; $154,863 respectively. Research Support

• For 2002, we obtained an VU Discovery (New) Research Grant with the project “Approximation of f-Divergence via Ostrowski Type Inequalities” ($12,000)

• For 2003, we obtained an VU Discovery (New) Research Grant with the project “Accurate Approximation of Cauchy Principal Value Integrals” ($15,000)

Memorandum of Understanding with GSNU In the period of July 15 – October 5, 2003, Professor S.S. Dragomir visited the Dept. of Mathematics Education from Gyeongsang National University in Jinju under the “Memorandum of Understanding” between Victoria University of Technology and Gyeongsang National University (see http://www.gsnu.ac.kr/english/). During the period of July 15, 2003 to October 5, 2003, 14 research papers were completed. These have been progressively submitted for publication in prestigious international journals in the domain of Mathematical & Functional Analysis. Once published, they will attract the corresponding publication quantum in both Australia and Korea. The papers are already publicly available and can be viewed as preprints in The Mathematics Preprint Server located at the web address: http://www.mathpreprints.com/math/Preprint/show/index.htt During his visit in Korea, Professor Dragomir gave a total of nine talks to different Mathematics Departments in the southern part of Korea.

RGMIA Website

• RGMIA Research Report Collection

The RGMIA Research Report Collection has as its main goal the rapid dissemination of results to a wide audience. To further this aim, papers submitted to the report can be easily downloaded online with a password. In addition, the Research Report is exchanged with over 70 journals worldwide and sent to various mathematics centers and departments. To cope with the excess papers submitted to the report when it was restricted to four issues a year, the RGMIA introduced a completely electronic version which would not go to press. The exchange scheme continues to flourish, with several new exchange partners added to our already long list.

• RGMIA Members

The RGMIA membership has increased to over 700 hundred members these past few years, attracting members from very diverse fields; fields such as computer science, education, biology, physics, and mathematics in art. Main Page

Journal of Inequalities in Pure

and Applied Mathematics

2002 saw JIPAM implementing its new policy to put papers on the website once they were fully processed. In some cases, this has reduced the publication waiting time to within a month of a paper being accepted. In a few instances, the time between submission of a paper and publication has been less than two months. With these results, it is no wonder that submissions to JIPAM are increasing. It is now recognized as one of the quality journals in Mathematical Inequalities. To cope with the expanding number of submissions, the JIPAM editorial board in December 2003, consisted of 63 editors, and 2 managing editors. With the increasing number of submissions, the number of papers being published has also greatly increased

GI8 Conference The General Inequalities meetings have a long tradition extending to almost thirty years. The first 7 meetings were held in the Mathematical Research Institute at Oberwolfach. The 7th meeting was organized in 1995. Due to the long time having elapsed since this meeting and the growing interest in inequalities, the Scientific Committee of GI7 (consisting of Professors Catherine Bandle (Basel), W. Norrie Everitt (Birmingham), László Losonczi (Debrecen), and Wolfgang Walter (Karlsruhe)) agreed that the 8th General Inequalities meeting be held in Hungary. It took place from September 15 to 21, 2002, at the De La Motte Castle in Noszvaj and was organized by the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the University of Debrecen. The 36 participants came from Australia (4), Canada (1), Czech Republic (1), Germany (4), Hungary (9), Japan (2), Poland (3), Romania (3), Switzerland (2), Sweden (3), United Kingdom (1), and the United States of America (3). We are very pleased to report that the Scientific Committee appointed JIPAM to publish the Proceedings of this prestigious conference. The selected papers presented at GI8 are (see also http://jipam.vu.edu.au/issues.php?op=viewissue&issue=74 )

Due to the exponentially increasing number of pages on the JIPAM website, it was gradually becoming slower and slower, making changes and additions to it more and more difficult. For these reasons, in March 2004, we completely overhauled the old website and implemented a new system with a fully searchable database, which will be presented in the next RGMIA report. Below for posterity are some images of JIPAM as it was in December, 2003. These pages can still be accessed at http://jipam-old.vu.edu.au Main Page

Research Students Based in the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, Victoria University, the members of the RGMIA are supporting the following postgraduate students in their mathematical research:

• F.C. Cirstea is the recipient of a government funded international research scholarship and already has fifteen publications in some of the most prestigious journals in Mathematical Analysis and Applications. She will continue, under our supervision, to investigate the problem of existence and uniqueness for the solutions of different partial differential equations modeling practical problems in fluid mechanics, and other physical phenomena related to the equilibrium of anisotropic continuous media etc.

• G. Hanna has published eight papers in the area of multidimensional

quadrature. This important topic impacts many fields that involve the study of multiple dimensions.

• R. Moore is investigating sound source identification- in particular

recognition of musical instruments. The aim is to refine the process of building a timbral signature for instruments of each type to enable classification. The work is multidisciplinary drawing on the physics of sound, psycho-physics and underpinned by signal processing and mathematics for the extraction and analysis of audio data.

• G. Sorrentino is investigating the mathematical modeling of pricing of

financial instruments. In particular the Black-Scholes pricing model will be examined and an investigation of extensions and solution methodologies will be undertaken. This will involve an analysis and development of efficient numerical solution methodologies involving inequalities and approximation to provide error bounds.

• R. Summit is investigating the dependency of the reliability of a motor

vehicle on the reliability of its numerous components. Failure data from an Australian automobile manufacturer are being analyzed in this research. Cost models for honoring a two-year/50,000km warranty are being developed. This will be done on a component or subsystem level, as well as a whole system level. Numerical methods are available to solve the renewal equation. It is anticipated that both in-warranty and post-warranty claims will be considered and models developed for each case. The two-year warranty model developed will then be extrapolated to estimate the cost of three and five year warranties.

Publications Published Authored Books Some Gronwall Type Inequalities and Applications by S.S. Dragomir

The main aim of the present monograph is to point out some natural applications of Gronwall inequalities with nonlinear kernels of Lipschitzian type for the study of qualitative aspects such as: boundedness and convergence to zero at infinity properties for the solutions of nonlinear Volterra integral equations and the stability properties of the nonlinear system of differential equations.

Computational Techniques for the Summation of Series By Anthony Sofo

The main aim of this book is to present a unified treatment of summation of sums and series using function theoretic methods. We develop a technique, based on residue theory, that is useful for the summation of series of both non-hypergeometric and hypergeometric type.

This book is intended to complement the books of Koepf and Petkovšek, Wilf and Zeilberger, it gives an extra comprehensive perspective on the many methods and procedures that are available for the summation of series. To the author's knowledge, no book of this type exists which attempts to give a link, by developing a comprehensive method, between non-hypergeometric and hypergeometric summation. The book has intentionally not been written as an algorithmic approach to summation, no doubt this will be done by other authors. In particular the book develops computational techniques for the summation of series.

The present book is intended for use in the fields of applied mathematics, analysis, non-hypergeometric and hypergeometric summation, summation of series and automated techniques. Published Edited Books Ostrowski Type Inequalities and Applications in Numerical Integration Edited by Sever S. Dragomir and Th. M. Rassias

Integral inequalities involving functions with bounded derivatives, otherwise known as Ostrowski-type integral inequalities, have enjoyed a surge in popularity. This field has developed significantly over the last few years, and has yielded many new results and powerful applications in numerical integration, probability theory and stochastics, statistics, information theory, and integral operator theory.

The main aim of the present work is to present a number of selected results on Ostrowski-type integral inequalities. Results for univariate and multivariate real functions and their natural applications in the error analysis of numerical quadratures for both simple and multiple integrals as well as for the Riemann–Stieltjes integral are

given. Topics dealt with include generalisations of the Ostrowski inequality and its applications; integral inequalities for n-times differentiable mappings; three-point quadrature rules; product-branched Peano kernels and numerical integration; Ostrowski-type inequalities for multiple integrals; results for double integrals based on an Ostrowski-type inequality; product inequalities and weighted quadrature; and some inequalities for the Riemann–Stieltjes integral.

This book is intended for researchers and graduate students working in the fields of integral inequalities, approximation theory, applied mathematics, probability theory and stochastics, and numerical analysis.
