Temperature-Dependence of Equilibrium States of a Two-Phase Elastic Medium with the Zero Surface Tension Coefficient

We consider the energy functional of a two-phase elastic medium with quadratic energy densities defined for such that ,where is a measurable characteristic function. Under some natural conditions on the data of the problem, we prove the existence of an interval (t ^-,t ⁺) of the change of temperature such that the energy functional has only a minimizer such that for or such that t^ + $$ " align="middle" border="0"> . The energy functional has no minimizers such that or if . We derive two-sided estimates for the numbers in terms of the characteristics of the two-phase elastic medium and the boundary condition.

Spin Models and Strongly Hyper-Self-Dual Bose-Mesner Algebras

We introduce the notion of hyper-self-duality for Bose-Mesner algebras as a strengthening of formal self-duality. Let denote a Bose-Mesner algebra on a finite nonempty set X. Fix p X, and let and denote respectively the dual Bose-Mesner algebra and the Terwilliger algebra of with respect to p. By a hyper-duality of , we mean an automorphism of such that for all ; and is a duality of . is said to be hyper-self-dual whenever there exists a hyper-duality of . We say that is strongly hyper-self-dual whenever there exists a hyper-duality of which can be expressed as conjugation by an invertible element of . We show that Bose-Mesner algebras which support a spin model are strongly hyper-self-dual, and we characterize strong hyper-self-duality via the module structure of the associated Terwilliger algebra.

Let be a finite Riemann surface. For a quadratic differential on associated with a certain problem on extremal decomposition of into n domains, a parametric family of quasiconformal mappings , is defined. These mappings map the domains of the extremal decomposition of onto the domains of the extremal decomposition of ._K This allows one to study the functional dependence of the problem on the parameters.

K-Theory for the Banach Algebra of Operators on James''s Quasi-reflexive Banach Spaces

We prove that the K-groups of the Banach algebra of bounded, linear operators on the pth James space , where 1 < p < , are given by and . Moreover, for each Banach space and each non-zero, closed ideal contained in the ideal of inessential operators, we show that and . This enables us to calculate the K-groups of for each Banach space which is a direct sum of finitely many James spaces and -spaces.     

Continuous Functors and Duality

Let be an associative ring with identity, and let be the category of left unitary -modules. A complete characterization of continuous additive co- and contravariant functors is given. Such functors are either representable, or equivalent to a tensor product, or trivial ones. The class of categories that are dual to and, therefore, are equivalent to the category of compact right -modules is constructed by purely algebraic means. A canonical category is singled out in this class. A purely algebraic structure that is equivalent to the topology-algebraic structure of compact right -modules is constructed. Algebraic analogs of connection and complete disconnection are given. Bibliography: 6 titles.

Sequence Spaces l p,q in Probabilistic Characterizations of Weak Type Operators

We study operators (not necessarily linear) defined on a quasi-Bahach space X and taking values in the space of real-valued Lebesgue-measurable functions. Factorization theorems for linear and superlinear operators with values in the space are proved with the help of the Lorentz sequence spaces . Sequences of functions belonging to fixed bounded sets in the spaces are characterized for and . The possibility of distinguishing weak type operators (bounded in the space ) from operators factorizable through is obtained in terms of sequences of independent random variables. A criterion under which an operator is symmetrically bounded in order in , is established. Some refinements of the above-mentioned results are obtained for translation shift-invariant sets and operators. Bibliography: 30 titles.     

Properties of the Conformal Radius of a Domain

We consider the function , where is the conformal radius of a simply connected domain D at a point . We study relations between the values of the function at various points of the domain D. In Sec. 1, we establish exact inequalities relating the values of the function in an arbitrary simply connected domain with the position of the conformal center and with the maximal conformal radius of the domain D. The same values are related to the values of at another two points of the domain D. In Sec. 2, similar results are established for convex domains. This work supplements some recent results of Emel'yanov and Kovalev. Bibliography: 9 titles.     

A Uniqueness Theorem for the Dual Problem Associated to a Variational Problem with Linear Growth

Uniqueness is proved for solutions of the dual problem that is associated with the minimum problem among the mappings with prescribed Dirichlet boundary data and for smooth strictly convex integrands f of linear growth. No further assumptions on f or its conjugate function are imposed, in particular, is not assumed to be strictly convex. A special solution of the dual problem is seen to be a mapping into the image of , which immediately implies uniqueness. Bibliography: 13 titles.
