Refinements of the β-core and the strong equilibrium and the Aumann proposition

The Aumann proposition establishes that an outcome in the -core of the one-shot gameG is the same as the strong equilibrium utility allocations of the associated supergame. We refine the -core by requiring that the threat strategies used to deter deviations be credible and examine the consequences for the Aumann proposition in the case of the refinement. We show that a refinement of the strong-equilibrium notion is always in the refined -core. The converse is not necessarily true unless the utility allocations are linear.I am grateful to T. Ichiishi for several discussions that helped in the development of this paper. This is part of the author's Ph.D. dissertation submitted at the university of Iowa in December 1985.     

On the Equation and the Number of Solution of Znam's Problem

Discreteness of the Spectrum of the Laplacian and Stochastic Incompleteness

We propose geometric conditions equivalent to the discreteness of the spectrum of the Laplacian on a class of Riemannian manifolds with ends close to warped products. For this class of manifolds we establish a relationship between discreteness of the spectrum and stochastic incompleteness.

Maxima and Minima of the Hosoya Index and the Merrifield-Simmons Index

The Hosoya index and the Merrifield-Simmons index are typical examples of graph invariants used in mathematical chemistry for quantifying relevant details of molecular structure. In recent years, quite a lot of work has been done on the extremal problem for these two indices, i.e., the problem of determining the graphs within certain prescribed classes that maximize or minimize the index value. This survey collects and classifies these results, and also provides some useful auxiliary results, tools and techniques that are frequently used in the study of this type of problem.     

Special solutions of the first and second Painlevé equations and singularities of the monodromy data manifold

A classification of solutions of the first and second Painlevé equations corresponding to a special distribution of poles at infinity is considered. The relation between this distribution and singularities of the two-dimensional complex monodromy data manifold used for the parameterization of the solutions is analyzed. It turns out that solutions of the Painlevé equations have no poles in a certain critical sector of the complex plane if and only if their monodromy data lie in the singularity submanifold. Such solutions belong to the so-called class of “truncated” solutions (intégrales tronquée) according to P. Boutroux’s classification. It is shown that all known special solutions of the first and second Painlevé equations belong to this class.     

Equivalence Relation on the Set of Subsets of Z_v and Enumeration of the Equivalence Classes

Motivated by the concept of equivalent cyclic difference sets on Z_v (the residue ring modulo v), we introduce a similar equivalence relation on the set of subsets of Z_v as follows. Difinition Let D_1 and D_2 be two subsets of Z_v. If D_1=tD_2+s for some t, s∈Z_v(ged(t,v)=1), then D_1 and D_2 are said to be equivalent, denoted by D_～D_2.     

On universal and periodic β-expansions,and the Hausdorff dimension of the set of all expansions

We study the topology of a set naturally arising from the study of β-expansions. After proving several elementary results for this set we study the case when our base is Pisot. In this case we give necessary and sufficient conditions for this set to be finite. This finiteness property will allow us to generalise a theorem due to Schmidt and will provide the motivation for sufficient conditions under which the growth rate and Hausdorff dimension of the set of β-expansions are equal and explicitly calculable.

The Asymptotic Properties of the Extremal Rings in Space and the Proof of the Anderson's Conjecture

For n≥3,1≤p≤n-1,and 0<α<1,the ring R_n,p(a)may be described as theopen unit ball in n-space minus a closed concentric p—dimensional ball of radiusα,its modulus is denoted by modR_n,p(a).Because these rings have the importantextremal properties indicated in[1],the problem of evaluating the modulus mod-R_n,p(α)is very interesting.On this problem,much research work has been done(see[1]and[2]).In this paper,the following results are obtained.     

The Supremum and Infimum of the Set of Fuzzy Numbers and Its Application

In 1986,Goetschel and Voxman represented a fuzzy number by two usualfunctions,which promote further development of the theory and application of fuzzynumbers.For example,we can embbed the fuzzy number space E~1 into a concreteBanach space by using this representation theorem(see[2—4]).     

Diffeomorphisms of the Circle and the Beurling–Helson Theorem

We consider the algebra of absolutely convergent Fourier series on the circle . According to the Beurling–Helson theorem, the condition , implies that is trivial: . We construct a nontrivial diffeomorphism of onto itself such that , where (n) is an arbitrary given sequence with . By analogy with a conjecture due to Kahane, it is natural to suppose that this rate of growth is the slowest possible.
