负数的自述

我是负数,你以前虽然见过我,但我们还不很熟悉.下面就听听我的自述,我们会成为好朋友的.一、我的出现是实际生活的需要.数的扩充都是由于实际的需要而产生的,负数的引入也不例外,它是由于表示具有相反意义的量的需要而产生的.小学学过的自然数和分数只能表示相反意义的量中的一个量,不能满足实际需要,为了更好的记数而引入一种     

“1”的自述

我是数字1,大家对我似乎很熟悉,其实却不然,为了以后我们能够成为好朋友,也为了同学们能学好数学,下面请听我的自我介绍:一、我是最小的正整数,我的绝对值还是我;我的相反数是-1,-1的绝对值也是我;我的任何次幂都是我1n=1;我的算术根还是我n1=1;一个数与它倒数的积也等于我,怎么样,牛吧?其实这也不算什么,下面还有更牛的呢.

如何分遗产

古罗马一位寡妇，遵照丈夫的遗嘱，把丈夫遗留下来的3500元遗产同她即将出生的孩子一起分配。如果生的是儿子，那么，按照罗马的法律，做母亲的应分得儿子份额的一半；如果生的是女儿，做母亲的就应分得女儿份额的两倍。可发生的事情是：生了一对双胞胎——一男一女。     

Half Space and Quarter Space Dirichlet Problems for the Partial Differential Equation

A customary, heuristic, method, by which the Poisson integral formula for the Dirichlet problem, for the half space, for Laplace's equation is obtained, involves Green's function, and Kelvin's method of images. Although this heuristic method leads one to guess the correct result, this Poisson formula still has to be verified directly, independently of the method by which it was arrived at, in order to be absolutely certain that a solution of the Dirichlet problem for the half space, for Laplace's equation, has been actually obtained. A similar heuristic method, as seems to be generally known, could be followed in solving the Dirichlet problem, for the half space, for the equation where is a real constant. However, in Part 1, a different, labor-saving, method is used to study Dirichlet problems for the equation. This method is essentially based on what Hadamard called the method of descent. Indeed, it is shown that he who has solved the half space Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation has already solved the half space Dirichlet problem for the equation In Part 2, the solution formula for the quarter space Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation is obtained from the Poisson integral formula for the half space Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation. A representation theorem for harmonic functions in the quarter space is deduced. The method of descent is used, in Part 3, to obtain the solution formula for the quarter space Dirichlet problem for the equation by means of the solution formula for the quarter space Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation. So that, indeed, it is also shown that he who has solved the quarter space Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation has already solved the quarter space Dirichlet problem for the " equation" For the sake of completeness and clarity, and for the convenience of the reader, the appendix, at the end of Part 3, contains a detailed proof that the Poisson integral formula solves the half space Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation. The Bibliography for Parts 1,2, 3 is to be found at the end of Part 1.     

On bounds for the mode and median of the generalized hyperbolic and related distributions

Except for certain parameter values, a closed form formula for the mode of the generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution is not available. In this paper, we exploit results from the literature on modified Bessel functions and their ratios to obtain simple but tight two-sided inequalities for the mode of the GH distribution for general parameter values. As a special case, we deduce tight two-sided inequalities for the mode of the variance-gamma (VG) distribution, and through a similar approach we also obtain tight two-sided inequalities for the mode of the McKay Type I distribution. The analogous problem for the median is more challenging, but we conjecture some monotonicity results for the median of the VG and McKay Type I distributions, from we which we conjecture some tight two-sided inequalities for their medians. Numerical experiments support these conjectures and also lead us to a conjectured tight lower bound for the median of the GH distribution.     

Asymptotic for the cumulative distribution function of the degrees and homomorphism densities for random graphs sampled from a graphon

We give asymptotics for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for degrees of large dense random graphs sampled from a graphon. The proof is based on precise asymptotics for binomial random variables. This result is a first step for giving a nonparametric test for identifying the degree function of a large random graph. Replacing the indicator function in the empirical CDF by a smoother function, we get general asymptotic results for functionals of homomorphism densities for partially labeled graphs. This general setting allows to recover recent results on asymptotics for homomorphism densities of sampled graphon.     

Various motivations for managerial (mis)reporting – an experimental study

In the experiment we model all possible consequences from misreporting for both the shareholder and for the manager, since we are interested in patterns in reporting behaviour resulting from different motivations for potential misrepresentation. This allows for examining the stability of the (mis)reporting behaviour in different treatments. Agents are primarily driven by the consequences for themselves rather than by the consequences for the principal, while deciding on misreporting. Participants are willing to sacrifice a small gain for themselves in order to prevent a greater loss for the principal. If agents misreport, they do it in order to generate positive rather than negative consequences for themselves. Reports in favour of the principal, but fruitless or even costly for the agent are very rare. The experiment indicates also that pro-social agents report more truthfully than pro-self agents.     

Trigonometric polynomial or exponential fitting approach?

The application of a trigonometric polynomial and an exponential fitting approach is compared for a three-point formula for second-order derivatives, for Simpson’s quadrature rule and for Numerov’s scheme for second-order differential equations. The expressions for the occurring parameters are constructed in both the approaches and the behaviour of these parameters with respect to the introduced frequency is studied. The errors for specific problems obtained in both the approaches as a function of the frequency are compared.     

The shape of the hazard function for cancer incidence

A population-based cohort consisting of 126,141 men and 122,208 women born between 1874 and 1931 and at risk for breast or colorectal cancer after 1965 was identified by linking the Utah Population Data Base and the Utah Cancer Registry. The hazard function for cancer incidence is estimated from left truncated and right censored data based on the conditional likelihood. Four estimation procedures based on the conditional likelihood are used to estimate the age-specific hazard function from the data; these were the life-table method, a kernel method based on the Nelson Aalen estimator, a spline estimate, and a proportional hazards estimate based on splines with birth year as sole covariate.The results are consistent with an increasing hazard for both breast and colorectal cancer through age 85 or 90. After age 85 or 90, the hazard function for female breast and colorectal cancer may reach a plateua or decrease, although the hazard function for male colorectal cancer appears to continue to rise through age 105. The hazard function for both breast and colorectal cancer appears to be higher for more recent birth cohorts, with a more pronounced birth-cohort effect for breast cancer than for colorectal cancer. The age specific for colorectal cancer appears to be higher for men than for women. The shape of the hazard function for both breast and colorectal cancer appear to be consistent with a two-stage model for spontaneous carcinogenesis in which the initiation rate is constant or increasing. Inheritance of initiated cells appears to play a minor role.     

On the Baer Criterion for Acts Over Semigroups

It is known that although the Baer Criterion for injectivity holds for modules over rings with unit, it is not true for acts over an arbitrary monoid.

Seeking a characterization for the Baer Criterion to hold for acts over a monoid, in this article, using the notion of completeness introduced by Giuli, we find some classes of monoids such that for acts over them the Baer Criterion holds.     

Convergence in competition models with small diffusion coefficients

It is well known that for reaction-diffusion 2-species Lotka-Volterra competition models with spatially independent reaction terms, global stability of an equilibrium for the reaction system implies global stability for the reaction-diffusion system. This is not in general true for spatially inhomogeneous models. We show here that for an important range of such models, for small enough diffusion coefficients, global convergence to an equilibrium holds for the reaction-diffusion system, if for each point in space the reaction system has a globally attracting hyperbolic equilibrium. This work is planned as an initial step towards understanding the connection between the asymptotics of reaction-diffusion systems with small diffusion coefficients and that of the corresponding reaction systems.
