On solving equations of algebraic sum of equal powers

It is well known that a system of equations of sum of equal powers can be converted to an algebraic equation of higher degree via Newton's identities. This is the Viete-Newton theorem. This work reports the generalizations of the Viete-Newton theorem to a system of equations of algebraic sum of equal powers. By exploiting some facts from algebra and combinatorics, it is shown that a system of equations of algebraic sum of equal powers can be converted in a closed form to two algebraic equations, whose degree sum equals the number of unknowns of the system of equations of algebraic sum of equal powers.     

Topological Structure of Non-wandering Set of a Graph Map

Let G be a graph （i.e., a finite one-dimensional polyhedron） and f ： G → G be a continuous map. In this paper, we show that every isolated recurrent point of f is an isolated non-wandering point; every accumulation point of the set of non-wandering points of f with infinite orbit is a two-order accumulation point of the set of recurrent points of f; the derived set of an ω-limit set of f is equal to the derived set of an the set of recurrent points of f; and the two-order derived set of non-wandering set of f is equal to the two-order derived set of the set of recurrent points of f.     

拟线性可化约的双曲型方程组的奇性分析

In this paper we investigate the formation of singularities of hyperbolic systems. Employing the method of parametric coordinates and the existence of the solution of the blow-up system, we prove that the blow-up of classic solutions is due to the envelope of characteristics of the same family, analyze the geometric properties of the envelope of characteristics and estimate the blowup rates of the solution precisely.     

ESTIMATES OF N-FUNCTION AND m-FUNCTION OF MEROMORPHIC SOLUTIONS OF SYSTEMS OF COMPLEX DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

We apply Nevanlinna theory of the value distribution of meromorphic functions to study the properties of Nevanlinna counting function and proximity function of meromorphic solutions of a type of systems of complex difference equations. Our results can give estimates on the proximity function and the counting function of solutions of systems of difference equations. This implies that solutions have a relatively large number of poles. It extend some result concerning difference equations to the systems of difference equations.     

EXTREMES OF RATIOS OF DETERMINANTS AND CANONICAL CORRELATION VARIABLES

This article develops some extremes of the ratios of determinants. The results are themultivariate extensions of the extremes of quadratic forms, and can be applied to finding thecanonicai correlation variables of two random vectors. Hence a group of canonical correlationvariables is a solution of the extreme of the ratio of determinants.

We especially study the existence of the stationary points on the line of discontinuity of this kind of planar piecewise smooth system.

On a class of Riemann surfaces

It is considered the class of Riemann surfaces with dimT1 = 0, where T1 is a subclass of exact harmonic forms which is one of the factors in the orthogonal decomposition of the spaceΩH of harmonic forms of the surface, namely The surfaces in the class OHD and the class of planar surfaces satisfy dimT1 = 0. A.Pfluger posed the question whether there might exist other surfaces outside those two classes. Here it is shown that in the case of finite genus g, we should look for a surface S with dimT1 = 0 among the surfaces of the form Sg\K , where Sg is a closed surface of genus g and K a compact set of positive harmonic measure with perfect components and very irregular boundary.     

Best approximation by downward sets with applications

We develop a theory of downward sets for a class of normed ordered spaces. We study best approximation in a normed ordered space X by elements of downward sets, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for any element of best approximation by a closed downward subset of X. We also characterize strictly downward subsets of X, and prove that a downward subset of X is strictly downward if and only if each its boundary point is Chebyshev. The results obtained are used for examination of some Chebyshev pairs （W,x）, where ∈ X and W is a closed downward subset of X     

Schreier rewriting beyond the classical setting Dedicated to our teacher Alfred Lvovich Shmelkin on his 70th birthday

Using actions of free monoids and free associative algebras, we establish some Schreier-type formulas involving ranks of actions and ranks of subactions in free actions or Grassmann-type relations for the ranks of intersections of subactions of free actions. The coset action of the free group is used to establish a generalization of the Schreier formula in the case of subgroups of infinite index. We also study and apply large modules over free associative and free group algebras.     

A quantum spin system with random interactions I

We study a quantum spin glass as a quantum spin system with random interactions and establish the existence of a family of evolution groups {τ_t(ω)}_ω∈/Ω of the spin system. The notion of ergodicity of a measure preserving group of automorphisms of the probability space Ω, is used to prove the almost sure independence of the Arveson spectrum Sp(τ(ω)) of τ_t(ε). As a consequence, for any family of (τ(ω),β) — KMS states {ρ(ω)}, the spectrum of the generator of the group of unitaries which implement τ(ω) in the GNS representation is also almost surely independent of ω.     

The use of phase portraits to visualize and investigate isolated singular points of complex functions

ABSTRACT

Undergraduate students usually study Laurent series in a standard course of Complex Analysis. One of the major applications of Laurent series is the classification of isolated singular points of complex functions. Although students are able to find series representations of functions, they may struggle to understand the meaning of the behaviour of the function near isolated singularities. In this paper, I briefly describe the method of domain colouring to create enhanced phase portraits to visualize and study isolated singularities of complex functions. Ultimately this method for plotting complex functions might help to enhance students' insight, in the spirit of learning by experimentation. By analysing the representations of singularities and the behaviour of the functions near their singularities, students can make conjectures and test them mathematically, which can help to create significant connections between visual representations, algebraic calculations and abstract mathematical concepts.     

Comparison principle and analogues of the phragmen—lindelöf theorem for solutions of parabolic inequalities

It is well known that a Monotonicity Condition and a Coerciveness Condition principally lie in the basis of most results of the Theory of PDE's. The necessity of these important assumptions for the validity of a comparison principle and analogues of the Phragmen-Lindelöf theorem for solutions of quasilinear parabolic inequalities is discussed in the paper. In the first part of the work we introduce a new concept of monotonicity for nonlinear differential operators-nonlinear monotonicity concept-and on its basis we obtain new phenomena for solutions, subsolutions and supersolutions of the well-known quasilinear differential equations. In the second part we omit the current coerciveness condition and change it by a weaker one. In spite of this we obtain a series of new qualitative properties of solutions for wide classes of quasilinear parabolic inequalities. Most of these properties are also new for solutions of the well-known equations, which we consider in the paper.     

Boundary-Value Problems of the Theory of Thin and Nonthin Orthotropic Shells with Account of Nonlinearly Elastic Properties and Low Shear Rigidity of Composite Materials

The basic geometric and physical relations and resolving equations of the theory of thin and nonthin orthotropic composite shells with account of nonlinear properties and low shear rigidity of their materials are presented. They are derived based on two theories, namely the theory of anisotropic shells employing the Timoshenko or Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis and the nonlinear theory of elasticity and plasticity of anisotropic media in combination with the Lagrange variational principle. The procedure and algorithm for the numerical solution of nonlinear (linear) problems are based on the method of successive approximations, the difference-variational method, and the Lagrange multiplier method. Calculations of the stress-strain state for a spherical shell with a circular opening loaded with internal pressure are presented. The effect of transverse shear strains and physical nonlinearity of the material on the distribution of maximum deflections and circumferential stresses in the shell, obtained according to two variants of the shell theories, is studied. A comparison of the results of the problem solution in linear and nonlinear statements with and without account of the shell shear strains is given. The numerical data obtained for thin and nonthin (medium thick) composite shells are analyzed.     

Variation of the structure and permeability of tensioned fiber layers during impregnation with a thermoplastic polymer melt

The influence of displacements of tensioned fibers on the impregnation of fibrous layers with a polymer melt and on the final composite structure is studied. Using computer simulation, it is shown that, during impregnation, the structure of tensioned fibrous layers changes considerably depending on the initial arrangement and tensioning of fibers. The consolidated regions formed under the melt front move inside the impregnated layer with the advancing melt front. Displacement of the tensioned fibers as well as the formation of “washouts” favors the impregnation of internal layers, but cause significant inhomogeneity of the polymer structure. The surface (on the side of the melt flow) regions are more saturated with the polymer than the internal ones. A difference in the melt percolation mechanisms at various impregnation regimes is revealed. The effective permeability coefficients of a tensioned fiber layer are not constant but depend on the conditions and regimes of impregnation.

A system-theoretic model for cooperation, interaction and allocation

A system-theoretic approach to cooperation, interaction and allocation is presented that simplifies, unifies and extends the results on classical cooperative games and their generalizations. In particular, a general Weber theory of linear values is obtained and a new theory for local cooperation and general interaction indices is established. The model is dynamic and based on the notion of states of cooperation that change under actions of agents. Careful distinction between “local” states of cooperation and general “system” states leads to a notion of entropy for arbitrary non-negative and efficient allocations and thus to a new information-theoretic criterion for fairness of allocation mechanisms. Shapley allocations, for instance, are exhibited as arising from random walks with maximal entropy. For a large class of cooperation systems, a characterization of game symmetries in terms of λ-values is given. A concept for cores and Weber sets is proposed and it is shown that a Weber set of a game with selection structure always contains the core.     

Representation of finite groups and the first Betti number of branched coverings of a universal Borromean orbifold

The paper studies the first homology of finite regular branched coverings of a universal Borromean orbifold called B _4,4,4ℍ³. We investigate the irreducible components of the first homology as a representation space of the finite covering transformation group G. This gives information on the first betti number of finite coverings of general 3-manifolds by the universality of B _4,4,4. The main result of the paper is a criterion in terms of the irreducible character whether a given irreducible representation of G is an irreducible component of the first homology when G admits certain symmetries. As a special case of the motivating argument the criterion is applied to principal congruence subgroups of B _4,4,4. The group theoretic computation shows that most of the, possibly nonprincipal, congruence subgroups are of positive first Betti number.
