Let be an even integer, . The resultant of the polynomials and is known as Wendt's determinant of order . We prove that among the prime divisors of only those which divide or can be larger than , where and is the th Lucas number, except when and . Using this estimate we derive criteria for the nonsolvability of Fermat's congruence.
A new formulation, a gauge formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in terms of an auxiliary field and a gauge variable , , was proposed recently by E and Liu. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of their formulation and verifies the computational advantages. We discuss the implicit gauge method, which uses backward Euler or Crank-Nicolson in time discretization. However, the boundary conditions for the auxiliary field are implemented explicitly (vertical extrapolation). The resulting momentum equation is decoupled from the kinematic equation, and the computational cost is reduced to solving a standard heat and Poisson equation. Moreover, such explicit boundary conditions for the auxiliary field will be shown to be unconditionally stable for Stokes equations. For the full nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations the time stepping constraint is reduced to the standard CFL constraint . We also prove first order convergence of the gauge method when we use MAC grids as our spatial discretization. The optimal error estimate for the velocity field is also obtained.
In the present paper we discuss the methods of Qin and Skaba, and we apply our results to the field
In the Appendix at the end of the paper K. Belabas and H. Gangl present the results of their computation of for some other values of The results agree with the conjectural structure of given in the paper by Browkin and Gangl.
Deterministic polynomial time primality criteria for have been known since the work of Lucas in 1876-1878. Little is known, however, about the existence of deterministic polynomial time primality tests for numbers of the more general form , where is any fixed prime. When (p-1)/2$"> we show that it is always possible to produce a Lucas-like deterministic test for the primality of which requires that only modular multiplications be performed modulo , as long as we can find a prime of the form such that is not divisible by . We also show that for all with such a can be found very readily, and that the most difficult case in which to find a appears, somewhat surprisingly, to be that for . Some explanation is provided as to why this case is so difficult.
This paper concerns the Rayleigh-Ritz method for computing an approximation to an eigenspace of a general matrix from a subspace that contains an approximation to . The method produces a pair that purports to approximate a pair , where is a basis for and . In this paper we consider the convergence of as the sine of the angle between and approaches zero. It is shown that under a natural hypothesis--called the uniform separation condition--the Ritz pairs converge to the eigenpair . When one is concerned with eigenvalues and eigenvectors, one can compute certain refined Ritz vectors whose convergence is guaranteed, even when the uniform separation condition is not satisfied. An attractive feature of the analysis is that it does not assume that has distinct eigenvalues or is diagonalizable.
. For given and , the extremal basis has the largest possible extremal -range
We give an algorithm to determine the -range. We prove some properties of the -range formula, and we conjecture its form for the extremal -range. We consider parameter bases , where the basis elements are given functions of . For we conjecture the extremal parameter bases for .
We consider sequences of matrices with a block structure spectrally distributed as an -variate matrix-valued function , and, for any , we suppose that is a linear and positive operator. For every fixed we approximate the matrix in a suitable linear space of matrices by minimizing the Frobenius norm of when ranges over . The minimizer is denoted by . We show that only a simple Korovkin test over a finite number of polynomial test functions has to be performed in order to prove the following general facts:
- 1.
- the sequence is distributed as ,
- 2.
- the sequence is distributed as the constant function (i.e. is spectrally clustered at zero).
In this paper we consider the problem of inverting an circulant matrix with entries over . We show that the algorithm for inverting circulants, based on the reduction to diagonal form by means of FFT, has some drawbacks when working over . We present three different algorithms which do not use this approach. Our algorithms require different degrees of knowledge of and , and their costs range, roughly, from to operations over . Moreover, for each algorithm we give the cost in terms of bit operations. We also present an algorithm for the inversion of finitely generated bi-infinite Toeplitz matrices. The problems considered in this paper have applications to the theory of linear cellular automata.

Consider the pseudorandom number generator where we are given the modulus , the initial value and the exponent . One case of particular interest is when the modulus is of the form , where are different primes of the same magnitude. It is known from work of the first and third authors that for moduli , if the period of the sequence exceeds , then the sequence is uniformly distributed. We show rigorously that for almost all choices of it is the case that for almost all choices of , the period of the power generator exceeds . And so, in this case, the power generator is uniformly distributed.
We also give some other cryptographic applications, namely, to ruling-out the cycling attack on the RSA cryptosystem and to so-called time-release crypto.
The principal tool is an estimate related to the Carmichael function , the size of the largest cyclic subgroup of the multiplicative group of residues modulo . In particular, we show that for any , we have for all integers with , apart from at most exceptions.
Consider a differential equation with and , where is a Lie algebra of the matricial Lie group . Every can be mapped to by the matrix exponential map with .
Most numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) on Lie groups are based on the idea of representing the approximation of the exact solution , , by means of exact exponentials of suitable elements of the Lie algebra, applied to the initial value . This ensures that .
When the exponential is difficult to compute exactly, as is the case when the dimension is large, an approximation of plays an important role in the numerical solution of ODEs on Lie groups. In some cases rational or polynomial approximants are unsuitable and we consider alternative techniques, whereby is approximated by a product of simpler exponentials.
In this paper we present some ideas based on the use of the Strang splitting for the approximation of matrix exponentials. Several cases of and are considered, in tandem with general theory. Order conditions are discussed, and a number of numerical experiments conclude the paper.
Some years ago, compactly supported divergence-free wavelets were constructed which also gave rise to a stable (biorthogonal) wavelet splitting of . These bases have successfully been used both in the analysis and numerical treatment of the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations. In this paper, we construct stable wavelet bases for the stream function spaces . Moreover, -free vector wavelets are constructed and analysed. The relationship between and are expressed in terms of these wavelets. We obtain discrete (orthogonal) Hodge decompositions.
Our construction works independently of the space dimension, but in terms of general assumptions on the underlying wavelet systems in that are used as building blocks. We give concrete examples of such bases for tensor product and certain more general domains . As an application, we obtain wavelet multilevel preconditioners in and .
