General polynomial roots and their multiplicities in O(N)memory and O(N2)Time

For a given real or complex polynomial p of degree n we modify the Euclidean algorithm to find a general tridiagonal matrix representation T of the monic version of p and then use the tridiagonal DQR eigenvalue algorithm on T in order to find

all roots ofp with their multiplicities in O(n²) operations

and 0(n) storage. We include details of the implementation and comparisons with several, standard and recent, essentially 0(n³) polynomial root finders.     

Generic pairs of SU-rank 1 structures

For a supersimple SU-rank 1 theory T we introduce the notion of a generic elementary pair of models of T (generic T-pair). We show that the theory T^* of all generic T-pairs is complete and supersimple. In the strongly minimal case, T^* coincides with the theory of infinite dimensional pairs, which was used in (S. Buechler, Pseudoprojective strongly minimal sets are locally projective, J. Symbolic Logic 56(4) (1991) 1184–1194) to study the geometric properties of T. In our SU-rank 1 setting, we use T^* for the same purpose. In particular, we obtain a characterization of linearity for SU-rank 1 structures by giving several equivalent conditions on T^*, find a “weak” version of local modularity which is equivalent to linearity, show that linearity coincides with 1-basedness, and use the generic pairs to “recover” projective geometries over division rings from non-trivial linear SU-rank 1 structures.     

Homogenization of Elliptic Problems with Neumann Boundary Conditions in Non-smooth Domains

We consider a family of second-order elliptic operators {L_ε} in divergence form with rapidly oscillating and periodic coefficients in Lipschitz and convex domains in R~n. We are able to show that the uniform W~(1,p) estimate of second order elliptic systems holds for 2n/(n+1)-δ p 2n/(n-1)+ δ where δ 0 is independent of ε and the ranges are sharp for n = 2, 3. And for elliptic equations in Lipschitz domains, the W~(1,p) estimate is true for 3/2-δ p 3 + δ if n ≥ 4, similar estimate was extended to convex domains for 1 p ∞.     

New constructions of divisible designs

A construction is given for a (p^2a(p+1),p²,p^2a+1(p+1),p^2a+1,p^2a(p+1)) (p a prime) divisible difference set in the group H×Z²_pa+1 where H is any abelian group of order p+1. This can be used to generate a symmetric semi-regular divisible design; this is a new set of parameters for λ₁≠0, and those are fairly rare. We also give a construction for a (p^a−1+p^a−2+…+p+2,p^a+2, p^a(p^a+p^a−1+…+p+1), p^a(p^a−1+…+p+1), p^a−1(p^a+…+p²+2)) divisible difference set in the group H×Z_p2×Z^a_p. This is another new set of parameters, and it corresponds to a symmetric regular divisible design. For p=2, these parameters have λ₁=λ₂, and this corresponds to the parameters for the ordinary Menon difference sets.     

Non blow-up criterion for the 3-D Magneto-hydrodynamics equations in the limiting case

In this paper, we prove that suitable weak solution(u, b) of the 3-D MHD equations can be extended beyond T if u∈L~∞(0,T; L~3(R~3)) and the horizontal components b_h of the magnetic field satisfies the well-known Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin condition, which improves the corresponding regularity criterion by Mahalov-Nicolaenko-Shilkin.     

High order difference schemes for the system of two space second order nonlinear hyperbolic equations with variable coefficients

In this paper, we develop implicit difference schemes of O(k⁴ + k²h² + h⁴), where k > 0, h > 0 are grid sizes in time and space coordinates, respectively, for solving the system of two space dimensional second order nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations with variable coefficients having mixed derivatives subject to appropriate initial and boundary conditions. The proposed difference method for the scalar equation is applied for the solution of wave equation in polar coordinates to obtain three level conditionally stable ADI method of O(k⁴ + k²h² + h⁴). Some physical nonlinear problems are provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the implementation.     

Continuous bottleneck tree partitioning problems

We study continuous partitioning problems on tree network spaces whose edges and nodes are points in Euclidean spaces. A continuous partition of this space into p connected components is a collection of p subtrees, such that no pair of them intersect at more than one point, and their union is the tree space. An edge-partition is a continuous partition defined by selecting p−1 cut points along the edges of the underlying tree, which is assumed to have n nodes. These cut points induce a partition into p subtrees (connected components). The objective is to minimize (maximize) the maximum (minimum) “size” of the components (the min–max (max–min) problem). When the size is the length of a subtree, the min–max and the max–min partitioning problems are NP-hard. We present O(n² log(min(p,n))) algorithms for the edge-partitioning versions of the problem. When the size is the diameter, the min–max problems coincide with the continuous p-center problem. We describe O(n log³ n) and O(n log² n) algorithms for the max–min partitioning and edge-partitioning problems, respectively, where the size is the diameter of a component.     

Compound connection matrices

Suppose T is an incidence, basis circuit or basis cut set matrix of a connected graph and T^(k) is the k compound of T. It is proven that any second order minor of T^(k) is equal +1, −1, or 0. For the case of an incidence matrix this result is applied to tree counting and some structural properties of T^(k) are given.     

Finite p-groups All of Whose Minimal Nonabelian Subgroups are Nonmetacyclic of Order p3

Assume p is an odd prime. We investigate finite p-groups all of whose minimal nonabelian subgroups are of order p³. Let P₁-groups denote the p-groups all of whose minimal nonabelian subgroups are nonmetacyclic of order p³. In this paper, the P₁-groups are classified, and as a by-product, we prove the Hughes' conjecture is true for the P₁-groups.     

Impulsive effects on global existence of solutions for degenerate semilinear parabolic equations

Let q be a nonnegative real number, and λ and σ be positive constants. This article studies the following impulsive problem: for n = 1, 2, 3,…,

. The number λ^* is called the critical value if the problem has a unique global solution u for λ < λ^*, and the solution blows up in a finite time for λ > λ^*. For σ < 1, existence of a unique λ^* is established, and a criterion for the solution to decay to zero is studied. For σ > 1, existence of a unique λ^* and three criteria for the blow-up of the solution in a finite time are given respectively. It is also shown that there exists a unique T^* such that u exists globally for T> T^*, and u blows up in a finite time for T < T^*.     

The thermal equilibrium state of semiconductor devices

The thermal equilibrium state of two oppositely charged gases confined to a bounded domain , m = 1,2 or m = 3, is entirely described by the gases' particle densities p, n minimizing the total energy (p, n). it is shown that for given P, N > 0 the energy functional admits a unique minimizer in {(p, n) ε L²(Ω) x L ²(Ω) : p, n ≥ 0, _Ωp = P, _Ωn = N} and that p, n ε C(Ω) ∩ L^∞(Ω).

The analysis is applied to the hydrodynamic semiconductor device equations. These equations in general possess more than one thermal equilibrium solution, but only the unique solution of the corresponding variational problem minimizes the total energy. It is equivalent to prescribe boundary data for electrostatic potential and particle densities satisfying the usual compatibility relations and to prescribe V^e and P, N for the variational problem.     

The structure of irreducible matrix groups with submultiplicative spectrum

We describe the structure of irreducible matrix groups with submultiplicative spectrum. Since all such groups are nilpotent, the study is focused on p-groups. We obtain a block-monomial structure of matrices in irreducible p-groups and build polycyclic series arising from that structure. We give an upper bound to the exponent of these groups. We determine all minimal irreducible groups of p× p matrices with submultiplicative spectrum and discuss the case of p²× p² matrices if p is an odd prime.     

Cohomology of the Universal Enveloping Algebras of Certain Bigraded Lie Algebras

Let p be an odd prime and q = 2(p-1).Up to total degree t-s max{(5p~3+ 6p~2+ 6 p +4)q-10,p~4q},the generators of H~(s,t)(U(L)),the cohomology of the universal enveloping algebra of a bigraded Lie algebra L,are determined and their convergence is also verified.Furthermore our results reveal that this cohomology satisfies an analogous Poinare duality property.This largely generalizes an earlier classical results due to J.P.May.     

Recurrence of Transitive Points in Dynamical Systems with the Specification Property

Let T:X → X be a continuous map of a compact metric space X. A point x ∈ X is called Banach recurrent point if for all neighborhood V of x, {n ∈ N:Tⁿ(x) ∈ V } has positive upper Banach density. Denote by Tr(T), W(T), QW(T) and BR(T) the sets of transitive points, weakly almost periodic points, quasi-weakly almost periodic points and Banach recurrent points of (X, T). If (X, T) has the specification property, then we show that every transitive point is Banach recurrent and ∅≠W(T) ∩ Tr(T) _≠^⊂W^*(T) ∩ Tr(T) _≠^⊂ QW(T) ∩ Tr(T) _≠^⊂ BR(T) ∩ Tr(T), in which W^*(T) is a recurrent points set related to an open question posed by Zhou and Feng. Specifically the set Tr(T) ∩ W^*(T)\W(T) is residual in X. Moreover, we construct a point x ∈ BR\QW in symbol dynamical system, and demonstrate that the sets W(T), QW(T) and BR(T) of a dynamical system are all Borel sets.     

Biased partitions and judicious <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-partitions of graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a graph with m edges. For reals p ∈ [0, 1] and q = 1- p, let m_p(G) be the minimum of qe(V₁) +pe(V₂) over partitions V = V₁ ∪ V₂, where e(V_i) denotes the number of edges spanned by V_i. We show that if mp(G) = pqm-δ, then there exists a bipartition V₁, V₂ of G such that e(V₁) ≤ p²m - δ + p√m/2 + o(√m) and e(V₂) ≤ q²m - δ + q √m/2 + o(√m) for δ = o(m^2/3). This is sharp for complete graphs up to the error term o(√m). For an integer k ≥ 2, let fk(G) denote the maximum number of edges in a k-partite subgraph of G. We prove that if fk(G) = (1 - 1/k)m + α, then G admits a k-partition such that each vertex class spans at most m/k² - Ω(m/k^7.5) edges for α = Ω(m/k⁶). Both of the above improve the results of Bollobás and Scott.     

The construction of irreducible normalized representations of the general linear group

A method is described for constructing in an explicit form an irreducible representation T of M_n(F), the set of all n × n matrices over the real or complex field F, satisfying the condition T(A^*)=T^*(A) for all A∈M_n(F).

Coloring permutation graphs in parallel

A coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to its vertices so that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. We study the problem of coloring permutation graphs using certain properties of the lattice representation of a permutation and relationships between permutations, directed acyclic graphs and rooted trees having specific key properties. We propose an efficient parallel algorithm which colors an n-node permutation graph in O(log² n) time using O(n²/log n) processors on the CREW PRAM model. Specifically, given a permutation π we construct a tree T^*[π], which we call coloring-permutation tree, using certain combinatorial properties of π. We show that the problem of coloring a permutation graph is equivalent to finding vertex levels in the coloring-permutation tree.     

On the fourth power moment of Fourier coefficients of cusp form

Let a(n)be the Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form of weightκ=2n≥12 for the full modular group and A(x)=∑_(n≤x)a(n).In this paper,we establish an asymptotic formula of the fourth power moment of A(x)and prove that ∫T1A~4(x)dx=3/(64κπ~4)s_4;2()T~(2κ)+O(T~(2κ-δ_4+ε))with δ_4=1/8,which improves the previous result.     

First passage time for some stationary processes

For a 1-dependent stationary sequence {X_n} we first show that if u satisfies p₁=p₁(u)=P(X₁>u)0.025 and n>3 is such that 88np₁³1, then

P{max(X₁,…,X_n)u}=ν·μⁿ+O{p₁³(88n(1+124np₁³)+561)}, n>3,

where

ν=1−p₂+2p₃−3p₄+p₁²+6p₂²−6p₁p₂,μ=(1+p₁−p₂+p₃−p₄+2p₁²+3p₂²−5p₁p₂)⁻¹

with

p_k=p_k(u)=P{min(X₁,…,X_k)>u}, k1

and

|O(x)||x|.

From this result we deduce, for a stationary T-dependent process with a.s. continuous path {Y_s}, a similar, in terms of P{max_0skTY_s<u}, k=1,2 formula for P{max_0stY_su}, t>3T and apply this formula to the process Y_s=W(s+1)−W(s), s0, where {W(s)} is the Wiener process. We then obtain numerical estimations of the above probabilities.
