He was invited to visit Victoria University in Australia and the University of Hong Kong twice for academic collaborations, and he was invited to visit the University of Copenhagen, Denmark; Antalya Bilim University in Turkey; several universities in South Korea; Sun Yat-sen University, China; and Kaohsiung Normal University, China for conferences, special lectures, or other academic activities. He is or was the editor-in-chief, an associate editor, or a member of the editorial board of about 40 reputable international journals. Since 1993, he has published over 660 papers in 215 journals, collections, or proceedings. He took charge of and participated in two national research projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and several provincial scientific projects supported by Henan Province in China. Since 1992, he has acquired about one and a half millions CNY of funding support. In Stanford University’s 2021 list of World’s Top 2% Scientists, among 190,064 scientists in the Single Year Impact Data (2020), he ranked 61,510 and, among 186,178 scientists in the Career-long Data (1960–2020), he ranked 96,040.

In this paper, we generalize the N-dimensional Heisenberg’s inequalities for the windowed linear canonical transform (WLCT) of a complex function. Firstly, the definition for N-dimensional WLCT of a complex function is given. In addition, the N-dimensional Heisenberg’s inequality for the linear canonical transform (LCT) is derived. It shows that the lower bound is related to the covariance and can be achieved by a complex chirp function with a Gaussian function. Finally, the N-dimensional Heisenberg’s inequality for the WLCT is exploited. In special cases, its corollary can be obtained. Full article

In this paper, we develop a new technique on a time scale T to prove that the self-improving properties of the Muckenhoupt weights hold. The results contain the properties of the weights when T=R and when T=N, and also can be extended to cover different spaces such as T=hN, T=qN, etc. The results will be proved by employing some new refinements of Hardy’s type dynamic inequalities with negative powers proven and designed for this purpose. The results give the exact value of the limit exponent as well as the new constants of the new classes. Full article

In this paper, we solve an optimal reinsurance problem in the mathematical finance area. We assume that the surplus process of the insurance company follows a controlled diffusion process and the constant interest rate is involved in the financial model. During the whole optimization period, the company has a choice to buy reinsurance contract and decide the reinsurance retention level. Meanwhile, the bankruptcy at the terminal time is not allowed. The aim of the optimization problem is to minimize the distance between the terminal wealth and a given goal by controlling the reinsurance proportion. Using the stochastic control theory, we derive the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for the optimization problem. Via adopting the technique of changing variable as well as the dual transformation, an explicit solution of the value function and the optimal policy are shown. Finally, several numerical examples are shown, from which we find several main factors that affect the optimal reinsurance policy. Full article

In this paper, we aim to establish several estimates concerning the generalized Euclidean operator radius of d-tuples of A-bounded linear operators acting on a complex Hilbert space H, which leads to the special case of the well-known A-numerical radius for d=1. Here, A is a positive operator on H. Some inequalities related to the Euclidean operator A-seminorm of d-tuples of A-bounded operators are proved. In addition, under appropriate conditions, several reverse bounds for the A-numerical radius in single and multivariable settings are also stated. Full article
