In this paper theI andII regularn-simplices are introduced. We prove that the sufficient and necessary conditions for existence of anI regularn-simplex in ℝ ⁿ are that ifn is even thenn = 4m(m + 1), and ifn is odd thenn = 4m + 1 with thatn + 1 can be expressed as a sum of two integral squares orn = 4m - 1, and that the sufficient and necessary condition for existence of aII regularn-simplex in ℝ ⁿ isn = 2m ² - 1 orn = 4m(m + 1)(m ∈ ℕ). The connection between regularn-simplex in ℝ ⁿ and combinational design is given.     

The smooth structure set of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Superscript>

We calculate \({\mathcal{S}^{{\it Diff}}(S^p \times S^q)}\), the smooth structure set of S ^p × S ^q , for p, q ≥ 2 and p + q ≥ 5. As a consequence we show that in general \({\mathcal{S}^{Diff}(S^{4j-1}\times S^{4k})}\) cannot admit a group structure such that the smooth surgery exact sequence is a long exact sequence of groups. We also show that the image of the forgetful map \({\mathcal{S}^{Diff}(S^{4j}\times S^{4k}) \rightarrow \mathcal{S}^{Top}(S^{4j}\times S^{4k})}\) is not in general a subgroup of the topological structure set.     

Difference sets with <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> = 5<Emphasis Type="Italic"> p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let D be a (v, k, λ)-difference set in an abelian group G, and (v, 31) = 1. If n = 5p ^r with p a prime not dividing v and r a positive integer, then p is a multiplier of D. In the case 31|v, we get restrictions on the parameters of such difference sets D for which p may not be a multiplier.      

The crossing number of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis> ▭ <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> for the graph <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis> on six vertices

The crossing numbers of Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with all graphs of order at most four are known. The crossing numbers of G□C _n for some graphs G on five and six vertices and the cycle C _n are also given. In this paper, we extend these results by determining the crossing number of the Cartesian product G □ C _n , where G is a specific graph on six vertices.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-stable support <Emphasis Type="Italic">τ</Emphasis>-tilting modules

Motivated by τ-tilting theory developed by T. Adachi, O. Iyama, I. Reiten, for a finite-dimensional algebra Λ with action by a finite group G; we introduce the notion of G-stable support τ-tilting modules. Then we establish bijections among G-stable support τ-tilting modules over Λ; G-stable two-term silting complexes in the homotopy category of bounded complexes of finitely generated projective Λ-modules, and G-stable functorially finite torsion classes in the category of finitely generated left Λ-modules. In the case when Λ is the endomorphism of a G-stable cluster-tilting object T over a Hom-finite 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category C with a G-action, these are also in bijection with G-stable cluster-tilting objects in C. Moreover, we investigate the relationship between stable support τ-tilitng modules over Λ and the skew group algebra ΛG     

Application of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>′/<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-expansion method to Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

This paper obtains the solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. The G′/G method is used to carry out the integration of this equation. Subsequently, its special case, will be integrated and topological 1-soliton solution will be obtained by the soliton ansatz method. The restrictions on the parameters and exponents are also identified.     

Free involutions on <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

Topological free involutions on S ¹ × S ⁿ are classified up to conjugation. We prove that this is the same as classifying quotient manifolds up to homeomorphism. There are exactly four possible homotopy types of such quotients, and surgery theory is used to classify all manifolds within each homotopy type.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>1+<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis></Superscript>-Regularity for Two-Dimensional Almost-Minimal Sets in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

We give a new proof and a partial generalization of Jean Taylor’s result (Ann. Math. (2) 103(3), 489–539, 1976) that says that Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in ℝ³ are locally C ^1+α -equivalent to minimal cones. The proof is rather elementary, but uses a local separation result proved in Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse 18(1), 65–246, 2009 and an extension of Reifenberg’s parameterization theorem (David et al. in Geom. Funct. Anal. 18, 1168–1235, 2008). The key idea is still that if X is the cone over an arc of small Lipschitz graph in the unit sphere, but X is not contained in a disk, we can use the graph of a harmonic function to deform X and substantially diminish its area. The local separation result is used to reduce to unions of cones over arcs of Lipschitz graphs. A good part of the proof extends to minimal sets of dimension 2 in ℝ ⁿ , but in this setting our final regularity result on E may depend on the list of minimal cones obtained as blow-up limits of E at a point.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">μ</Emphasis>) for vector-valued measure <Emphasis Type="Italic">μ</Emphasis>

Let μ be a measure from a σ-algebra of subsets of a set T into a sequentially complete Hausdorff topological vector space X. Assume that μ is convexly bounded, i.e., the convex hull of its range is bounded in X, and denote by L ¹(μ) the space of scalar valued functions on T which are integrable with respect to the vector measure μ. We study the inheritance of some properties from X to L ¹(μ). We show that the bounded multiplier property passes from X to L ¹(μ). Answering a 1972 problem of Erik Thomas, we show that for a rather large class of F-spaces X the non-containment of c ₀ passes from X to L ¹(μ).     

Bases of exponents in weighted spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">−π, π</Emphasis>)

The system of exponents $ \left\{ {e^{i\lambda _n t} } \right\}_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} $ \left\{ {e^{i\lambda _n t} } \right\}_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} is considered. A sufficient condition for a Riesz-property basis in the weighted space L ^p (−π, π) is obtained.     

Minimal helix surfaces in <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>×ℝ

An immersed surface M in N ⁿ ×ℝ is a helix if its tangent planes make constant angle with ∂ _t . We prove that a minimal helix surface M, of arbitrary codimension is flat. If the codimension is one, it is totally geodesic. If the sectional curvature of N is positive, a minimal helix surfaces in N ⁿ ×ℝ is not necessarily totally geodesic. When the sectional curvature of N is nonpositive, then M is totally geodesic. In particular, minimal helix surfaces in Euclidean n-space are planes. We also investigate the case when M has parallel mean curvature vector: A complete helix surface with parallel mean curvature vector in Euclidean n-space is a plane or a cylinder of revolution. Finally, we use Eikonal f functions to construct locally any helix surface. In particular every minimal one can be constructed taking f with zero Hessian.

Free completely <Emphasis Type="Italic">J</Emphasis><Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis>)</Superscript>-simple Semigroups

A semigroup is called completely J^(ι)-simple if it is isomorphic to some Rees matrix semigroup over a left cancellative monoid and each entry of whose sandwich matrix is in the group of units of the left cancellative monoid. It is proved that completely J^(ι)-simple semigroups form a quasivarity. Moreover, the construction of free completely J^(ι)-simple semigroups is given. It is found that a free completely J^(ι)-simple semigroup is just a free completely J ^*-simple semigroup and also a full subsemigroup of some completely simple semigroups.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">ψ</Emphasis>-associate <Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis><Superscript>#</Superscript> of a flat <Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis> in PG(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, 2)

For a given hypersurface ψ in PG(n, 2), with equation Q(x) = 0, where Q is a polynomial of (reduced) degree d > 1, a definition is given of the ψ-associate X ^# of a flat X in PG(n, 2). The definition involves the fully polarized form of the polynomial Q; in the cubic case d = 3 it reads: X ^# = {z ∈ PG(n, 2) | T(x, y, z) = 0 for all x, y ∈ X}, where T(x, y, z) denotes the alternating trilinear form obtained by completely polarizing Q. Some general results, valid for any degree d and projective dimension n, are first expounded. Thereafter several choices of ψ are visited, but for each choice just a few aspects are highlighted. Despite the partial nature of the survey quite a variety of behaviours of the ψ-associate are uncovered. Many of the choices of ψ which are considered are of cubic hypersurfaces in PG(5, 2). If ψ is the Segre variety it is shown that the 48 planes external to fall into eight pairs of ordered triplets {(P ₁, R ₁, S ₁), (P ₂, R ₂, S ₂)} such that and . Further those lines L of PG(5, 2) which are singular, satisfying that is L ^# = PG(5.2), are in this case shown to form a complete spread of 21 lines. Another result of note arises in the case where ψ is the underlying 35-set of a non-maximal partial spread Σ₅ of five planes in PG(5, 2), where it is shown that one plane is singled out by the property that every line is singular.      

Quantization of curvature for compact surfaces in <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n⋆</Emphasis></Superscript>

For minimal surfaces in spheres, there is a well known conjecture about the quantization of intrinsic curvature which has been solved only in special cases so far. We recall an intrinsic and an extrinsic version for the known results and extend them to compact non-minimal surfaces in spheres. In particular we discuss special classes like Willmore surfaces and surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector.

Optimum super-simple mixed covering arrays of type <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>−1</Superscript>

A mixed covering array (MCA) of type (_v 1, v ₂,..., v _k ), denoted by MCA_λ (N; t, k, (v ₁, v ₂,..., v _k )), is an N × k array with entries in the i-th column from a set _{V i} of v _i symbols and has the property that each N × t sub-array covers all the t-tuples at least λ times, where 1 ≤ i ≤ k. An MCA _λ (N; t, k, (_v 1, v ₂,..., v _k )) is said to be super-simple, if each of its N × (t + 1) sub-arrays contains each (t + 1)-tuple at most once. Recently, it was proved by Tang, Yin and the author that an optimum super-simple MCA of type (a, b, b,..., b) is equivalent to a mixed detecting array (DTA) of type (a, b, b,..., b) with optimum size. Such DTAs can be used to generate test suites to identify and determine the interaction faults between the factors in a component-based system. In this paper, some combinatorial constructions of optimum super-simple MCAs of type (a, b, b,..., b) are provided. By employing these constructions, some optimum super-simple MCAs are then obtained. In particular, the spectrum across which optimum super-simple MCA₂(2b ²; 2, 4, (a, b, b, b))′s exist, is completely determined, where 2 ≤ a ≤ b.     

The fractional Hausdorff operators on the Hardy spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>(ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>)

In this paper, we study the high-dimensional fractional Hausdorff operators and establish their boundedness on the real Hardy spaces H ^p (? ⁿ ) for 0 < p < 1.     

Square functions and <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript>∞</Superscript> calculus on subspaces of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> and on Hardy spaces

Let X be a (closed) subspace of L^p with 1≤p<∞, and let A be any sectorial operator on X. We consider associated square functions on X, of the form and we show that if A admits a bounded H^∞ functional calculus on X, then these square functions are equivalent to the original norm of X. Then we deduce a similar result when X=H¹(ℝ^N) is the usual Hardy space, for an appropriate choice of || ||_F. For example if N=1, the right choice is the sum for h ∈ H¹(ℝ), where H denotes the Hilbert transform.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>∞</Superscript> regularity of solutions of the Levi equation in<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">2n+1</Emphasis></Superscript>

We study the regularity of the solutions of the Levi equation in ?²ⁿ⁺¹. It is a second order quasilinear equation whose characteristic matrix is positive semidefinite and has vanishing determinant at every point and for every functionu∈C ². We show that the operator associated to the equation can be represented as a sum of squares of non linear vector fields. Then, by using a freezing method, we prove theC ^∞ regularity of the solutions.     

On the equation Δ<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>)<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> = 0

Sufficient conditions for the blow-up of nontrivial generalized solutions of the interior Dirichlet problem with homogeneous boundary condition for the homogeneous elliptic-type equation Δu + q(x)u = 0, where either q(x) ≠ const or q(x) = const= λ > 0, are obtained. A priori upper bounds (Theorem 4 and Remark 6) for the exact constants in the well-known Sobolev and Steklov inequalities are established.
