A Niche Width Model of Optimal Specialization

Niche width theory, a part of organizational ecology, predicts whether specialist or generalist forms of organizations have higher fitness, in a continually changing environment. To this end, niche width theory uses a mathematical model borrowed from biology. In this paper, we first loosen the specialist-generalist dichotomy, so that we can predict the optimal degree of specialization. Second, we generalize the model to a larger class of environmental conditions, on the basis of the model's underlying assumptions. Third, we criticize the way the biological model is treated in sociological theory. Two of the model's dimensions seem to be confused, i.e., that of trait and environment; the predicted optimal specialization is a property of individual organizations, not of populations; and, the distinction between fine and coarse grained environments is superfluous.     

Nonoscillatory solutions of linear differential equations with deviating arguments

Summary The equation to be considered is of the form (1) x(ⁿ)(t)+p(t)x(g(t))=0 (t>a), where =±1, p(t) > 0 for ta and g(t) as t. It is well- known that a nonoscillatory solution x(t) of (1) satisfies (2) x(t)x(ⁱ)(t)>0 (0il), (–1)^i–lx(t)x(ⁱ)(t)>0 (lin) for some integer l, 0ln, (–1)^n–l–1=1. In this paper, for a given l such that 0n–l–1=1, necessary conditions and sufficient conditions are found for (1) to have a solution x(t) which satisfies (2), and a necessary and sufficient condition is established in order that for every >0 the equation x(ⁿ)(t)+p(t)x(g(t))=0 (t>a) has a solution x(t) which satisfies (2). Related results are also contained.

On the optimality of a characterization theorem for the gamma function using the multiplication formula

Summary The following Artin type characterization of : _{+ +} is proved: Assume thatf: _{+ +} satisfies the Gauss multiplication formula for some fixedp 2,f is absolutely continuous on [l/p, 1 + ] for some > 0 and lim _{x 0} xf(x) = 1. Thenf(x) = (x) forx > 0.The optimality of this result is checked by means of counterexamples. For instance, it is shown that the result is no longer true, if f is absolutely continuous is replaced by f is continuous and of finite variation.     

Characterization of regular singular linear systems of difference equations

This paper deals with linear systems of difference equations whose coefficients admit generalized factorial series representations atz=. We are concerned with the behavior of solutions near the pointz= (the only fixed singularity for difference equations). It is important to know whether a system of linear difference equations has a regular singularity or an irregular singularity. To a given system () we can assign a number , called the Moser's invariant of (), so that the system is regular singular if and only if 1. We shall develop an algorithm, implementable in a computer algebra system, which reduces in a finite number of steps the system of difference equations to an irreducible form. The computation ot the number can be done explicitly from this irreducible form.     

Symmetrization of functions in Sobolev spaces and the isoperimetric inequality

A positive measurable function f on R^d can be symmetrized to a function f^* depending only on the distance r, and with the same distribution function as f. If the distribution derivatives of f are Radon measures then we have the inequality f^*f, where f is the total mass of the gradient. This inequality is a generalisation of the classical isoperimetric inequality for sets. Furthermore, and this is important for applications, if f belongs to the Sobolev space H¹,P then f^* belongs to H¹,P and f^*_pf_p.     

Regular homomorphisms of generalized projective planes

A generalized projective plane is an incidence structure together with a relation distant on the set of points and also on the set of lines, such that any two distant points A,B (lines a,b) have a unique common line (A,B) (common point (a,b)) and three further axioms hold. Every commutative ring with 1 supplies a model. A homomorphism of into an incidence structure is called regular if the following condition and its dual are valid: A distant B and c IA,B implies c=(A,B). We shall prove the following two theorems. Let be a generalized projective plane satisfying a richness condition called (U). Let M I m. If and are regular homomorphisms of such that X = M X = M for each point X of the line m then A = B A = B for any two points A,B. If is a projective plane over a commutative ring such that (U) holds then the surjective regular homomorphisms of are induced by the ideals of the ring; in particular, the image of under a regular homomorphism is again a projective plane over a ring, and preserves distant.     

On the effective thermal conductivity of multiphase composites

While several micromechanical models have been developed today in the literature for two-phase media, the extent of their applicability to multiphase materials need yet to be investigated. The present paper studies the effective thermal conductivity of multicomponent composites, and concentrates on two methods: (a) the Mori-Tanaka model, (b) The generalized self-consistent scheme. The Mori-Tanaka method of back-stress previously developed in the context of elasticity of composites is applied here to the conduction problem. The generalized self-consistent scheme, based on a particle-matrix embedding in the effective medium, is studied in this paper in the context of multicomponent media and two variations of this method distinctly different in their imbedding procedure are proposed.Numerical results are given for three-phase composites illustrating and comparing the proposed methods.

Resumé Plusieurs modéles de micromécanique existent aujoud'hui dans la litérature des matériaux á deux phases. L'applicabilité de ces modéles aux matériaux á multi-phases nécessite d'autre part d'être examinée. Ce travail étudie la conductivité thermale des matériaux á multi-phases et se concentre sur deux méthodes: a) le modéle de Mori-Tanaka b) la méthode auto-consistante généralisée. La méthode de Mori-Tanaka, développée auparavant dans le cadre des propriétés mécaniques des composites est appliquée ici au probléme de conduction. La méthode autoconsistante généralisée est étudiée dans le cadre des matériaux á multi-phases et deux alternatives de cette méthode distinctement différentes dans leur formalisme sont proposées. Pour des matériaux á trois phases on donne des resultats numériques qui illustrent et comparent les méthodes proposées.

Maximal Monotone Multifunctions of Br?ndsted–Rockafellar Type

We consider whether the inequality-splitting property established in the Brøndsted–Rockafellar theorem for the subdifferential of a proper convex lower semicontinuous function on a Banach space has an analog for arbitrary maximal monotone multifunctions. We introduce the maximal monotone multifunctions of type (ED), for which an inequality-splitting property does hold. These multifunctions form a subclass of Gossez"s maximal monotone multifunctions of type (D); however, in every case where it has been proved that a multifunction is maximal monotone of type (D) then it is also of type (ED). Specifically, the following maximal monotone multifunctions are of type (ED): ultramaximal monotone multifunctions, which occur in the study of certain nonlinear elliptic functional equations; single-valued linear operators that are maximal monotone of type (D); subdifferentials of proper convex lower semicontinuous functions; subdifferentials of certain saddle-functions. We discuss the negative alignment set of a maximal monotone multifunction of type (ED) with respect to a point not in its graph – a mysterious continuous curve without end-points lying in the interior of the first quadrant of the plane. We deduce new inequality-splitting properties of subdifferentials, almost giving a substantial generalization of the original Brøndsted–Rockafellar theorem. We develop some mathematical infrastructure, some specific to multifunctions, some with possible applications to other areas of nonlinear analysis: the formula for the biconjugate of the pointwise maximum of a finite set of convex functions – in a situation where the obvious formula for the conjugate fails; a new topology on the bidual of a Banach space – in some respects, quite well behaved, but in other respects, quite pathological; an existence theorem for bounded linear functionals – unusual in that it does not assume the existence of any a priori bound; the 'big convexification" of a multifunction.

Bergman-Vekua theory in differential form

We develop Bergman-Vekua integral operator theory on the basis of a new kind of series suggested by polynomial operators (classP _j operators); in a sense, this is an analog of the Weierstrass approach as opposed to the Cauchy-Riemann approach in classical complex analysis, which also has advantages over the original form in boundary value problems and other applications.Dedicated to the memory of my friend, Peter Henrici

A note on operator norm inequalities

If P is a positive operator on a Hilbert space H whose range is dense, then a theorem of Foias, Ong, and Rosenthal says that: [(P)]^–1T[(P)]<-12 max {T, P^–1TP} for any bounded operator T on H, where is a continuous, concave, nonnegative, nondecreasing function on [0, P]. This inequality is extended to the class of normal operators with dense range to obtain the inequality [(N)]^–1T[(N)]<-12c² max {tT, N^–1TN} where is a complex valued function in a class of functions called vase-like, and c is a constant which is associated with by the definition of vase-like. As a corollary, it is shown that the reflexive lattice of operator ranges generated by the range NH of a normal operator N consists of the ranges of all operators of the form (N), where is vase-like. Similar results are obtained for scalar-type spectral operators on a Hilbert space.This author gratefully acknowledges the support of Central Michigan University in the form of a Research Professorship.

On generalized Stackelberg strategies

The concept of Stackelberg strategy for a nonzero-sum two-person game is extended to allow for a nonunique rational response of the follower. This leads to the notion of a generalized Stackelberg strategy for the leader, which guarantees him a cost value that cannot be exceeded, no matter what the rational response of the follower. Then, a generalized Stackelberg strategy pair is defined. A simple example is given. The idea of a generalized Stackelberg strategy and strategy pair is then applied to the situation of one leader and many rational followers.This paper is based on research supported by the National Science Foundation.
