Standardness and Standard Automorphisms of Chevalley Groups, I: the Case of Rank at Least Two

The author studies the linkage between the standardness and the standard automorphisms of Chevalley groups over rings.It is proved that if H is any standard subgroup of G(R),then each of its automorphisms can be extended to an automorphism of G(R,I),restricted to an automorphism of E(R,I),and an automorphism of E(R,I) can be extended to one of G(R,I).The case of Chevalley groups of rank at least two is treated in this paper.Further results about the case of Chevalley groups of rank one,the case of non-commutative ground ring and some others exceptions will appear elsewhere.     

Representation type of local and two-vertex bocses

Let κ be an algebraically closed field. It has been proved by Zhang and Xu that if a bocs is of tame representation type, then the degree of the diffierential of the first solid arrow must be less than or equal to 3. We will prove in the present paper that: The bocs is still wild when the degree of the diffierential of the first arrow is equal to 3. Especially, the bocs with only one solid arrow is of tame type if and only if the degree of the diffierential of the arrow is less than or equal to 2. Moreover,...     

Optimal policies for inventory systems with discretionary sales, random yield and lost sales

We determine replenishment and sales decisions jointly for an inventory system with random demand, lost sales and random yield. Demands in consecutive periods are independent random variables and their distributions are known. We incorporate discretionary sales, when inventory may be set aside to satisfy future demand even if some present demand may be lost. Our objective is to minimize the total discounted cost over the problem horizon by choosing an optimal replenishment and discretionary sales policy. We obtain the structure of the optimal replenishment and discretionary sales policy and show that the optimal policy for finite horizon problem converges to that of the infinite horizon problem. Moreover, we compare the optimal policy under random yield with that under certain yield, and show that the optimal order quantity （sales quantity） under random yield is more （less） than that under certain yield.     

交换环上上三角矩阵保对合与保立方幂等的模自同构

Suppose R is a commutative ring with 1, and 2 is a unit of R. Let Tn(R) be the n × n upper triangular matrix modular over R, and let (?)i(R) (i=2 or 3) be the set of all R-module automorphisms on Tn(R) that preserve involutory or tripotent. The main result in this paper is that f ∈ (?)i(R) if and only if there exists an invertible matrix U ∈ Tn(R) and orthogonal idempotent elements e1,e2,e3 ande4 in R with such that where     

具有调和曲率与有限$L^p$曲率的完备流形

Let(M~n, g)(n ≥ 3) be an n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with harmonic curvature and positive Yamabe constant. Denote by R and R?m the scalar curvature and the trace-free Riemannian curvature tensor of M, respectively. The main result of this paper states that R?m goes to zero uniformly at infinity if for p ≥ n, the L~p-norm of R?m is finite.As applications, we prove that(M~n, g) is compact if the L~p-norm of R?m is finite and R is positive, and(M~n, g) is scalar flat if(M~n, g) is a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature and finite L~p-norm of R?m. We prove that(M~n, g) is isometric to a spherical space form if for p ≥n/2, the L~p-norm of R?m is sufficiently small and R is positive.In particular, we prove that(M~n, g) is isometric to a spherical space form if for p ≥ n, R is positive and the L~p-norm of R?m is pinched in [0, C), where C is an explicit positive constant depending only on n, p, R and the Yamabe constant.     

V-Gorenstein Injective Modules Preenvelopes and Related Dimension

Let R and S be associative rings and _SV_R a semidualizing(S-R)-bimodule. An R-module N is said to be V-Gorenstein injective if there exists a Hom_R(I_V(R),-) and Hom_R(-, I_V(R)) exact exact complex ···→ I_1 d_0→I_0→I~0 d_0→I~1→··· of V-injective modules I_i and I~i, i ∈ N_0, such that N≌Im(I_0→I~0). We will call N to be strongly V-Gorenstein injective in case that all modules and homomorphisms in the above exact complex are equal, respectively. It is proved that the class of V-Gorenstein injective modules are closed under extension, direct summand and is a subset of the Auslander class A_V(R) which leads to the fact that V-Gorenstein injective modules admit exact right I_V(R)-resolution. By using these facts, and thinking of the fact that the class of strongly V-Gorenstein injective modules is not closed under direct summand, it is proved that an R-module N is strongly VGorenstein injective if and only if N⊕E is strongly V-Gorenstein injective for some V-injective module E. Finally, it is proved that an R-module N of finite V-Gorenstein injective injective dimension admits V-Gorenstein injective preenvelope which leads to the fact that, for a natural integer n, Gorenstein V-injective injective dimension of N is bounded to n if and only if Ext_(IV(R))~(≥n+1)(I, N) = 0 for all modules I with finite I_V(R)-injective dimension.     

The Auslander-type condition of triangular matrix rings

Let R be a left and right Noetherian ring and n,k be any non-negative integers.R is said to satisfy the Auslander-type condition G n (k) if the right flat dimension of the (i + 1)-th term in a minimal injective resolution of RR is at most i + k for any 0 i n 1.In this paper,we prove that R is Gn (k) if and only if so is a lower triangular matrix ring of any degree t over R.     

COMPRESSIBLE NON-ISENTROPIC BIPOLAR NAVIER-STOKES-POISSON SYSTEM IN R~3

The compressible non-isentropic bipolar Navier-Stokes-Poisson (BNSP) system is investigated in R 3 in the present paper, and the optimal time decay rates of global strong solution are shown. For initial data being a perturbation of equilibrium state in H l (R 3 ) ∩ Bs 1,1 (R 3 ) for l ≥ 4 and s ∈ (0, 1], it is shown that the density and temperature for each charged particle (like electron or ion) decay at the same optimal rate (1 + t) 3 4 , but the momentum for each particle decays at the optimal rate (1 + t) 1 4 s 2 which is slower than the rate (1 + t) 3 4 s 2 for the compressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equations [19] for same initial data. However, the total momentum tends to the constant state at the rate (1+t) 3 4 as well, due to the interplay interaction of charge particles which counteracts the influence of electric field.     

ISOGENOUS OF THE ELLIPTIC CURVES OVER THE RATIONALS

AbstractAn elliptic curve is a pair (E,O), where ?is a smooth projective curve of genus 1 and O is a point of E, called the point at infinity. Every elliptic curve can be given by a Weierstrass equationE:y2 a1xy a3y = x3 a2x2 a4x a6.Let Q be the set of rationals. E is said to be dinned over Q if the coefficients ai, i = 1,2,3,4,6 are rationals and O is defined over Q.Let E/Q be an elliptic curve and let E(Q)tors be the torsion group of points of E denned over Q. The theorem of Mazur asserts that E(Q)tors is one of the following 15 groupsE(Q)tors　Z/mZ, m = 1,2,..., 10,12,Z/2Z × Z/2mZ, m = 1,2,3,4.We say that an elliptic curve E'/Q is isogenous to the elliptic curve E if there is an isogeny, i.e. a morphism : E E' such that (O) = O, where O is the point at infinity.We give an explicit model of all elliptic curves for which E(Q)tors is in the form Z/mZ where m= 9,10,12 or Z/2Z × Z/2mZ where m = 4, according to Mazur's theorem. Morever, for every family of such elliptic curves, we give an explicit m     

The Structure of Almost Quasi-Regular Rings

Let R be a ring. It is well-known that R is a semigroup with respect to the composition a b=a b-ab for a,b∈R. An element a of R is said to be (right; left) quasi-regular if there exists an element b in R such that (a b=0;     

Exponential Stability of Traveling Pulse Solutions of a Singularly Perturbed System of Integral Differential Equations Arising From Excitatory Neuronal Networks

We establish the exponential stability of fast traveling pulse solutions to nonlinear singularly per-turbed systems of integral differential equations arising from neuronal networks.It has been proved that expo-nential stability of these orbits is equivalent to linear stability.Let (?) be the linear differential operator obtainedby linearizing the nonlinear system about its fast pulse,and let σ((?)) be the spectrum of (?).The linearizedstability criterion says that if max{Reλ:λ∈σ((?)),λ≠0}(?)-D,for some positive constant D,and λ=0 is asimple eigenvalue of (?)(ε),then the stability follows immediately (see [13] and [37]).Therefore,to establish theexponential stability of the fast pulse,it suffices to investigate the spectrum of the operator (?).It is relativelyeasy to find the continuous spectrum,but it is very difficult to find the isolated spectrum.The real part ofthe continuous spectrum has a uniformly negative upper bound,hence it causes no threat to the stability.Itremains to see if the isolated spectrum is safe.Eigenvalue functions (see [14] and [35,36]) have been a powerful tool to study the isolated spectrum of the as-sociated linear differential operators because the zeros of the eigenvalue functions coincide with the eigenvaluesof the operators.There have been some known methods to define eigenvalue functions for nonlinear systems ofreaction diffusion equations and for nonlinear dispersive wave equations.But for integral differential equations,we have to use different ideas to construct eigenvalue functions.We will use the method of variation of param-eters to construct the eigenvalue functions in the complex plane C.By analyzing the eigenvalue functions,wefind that there are no nonzero eigenvalues of (?) in {λ∈C:Reλ(?)-D} for the fast traveling pulse.Moreoverλ=0 is simple.This implies that the exponential stability of the fast orbits is true.     

Strong Converse Inequality for Left Gamma Quasi-Interpolants

The rate of convergence for the Gamma operators cannot be faster than O(1/n). In order to obtain much faster convergence, quasi-interpolants in the sense of Sablonniere are considered. For the first time in the theory of quasi-interpolants, the strong converse inequality is solved in sup-norm with the K-functional K_λ~α(f, t~(2r)) (0≤λ≤1, 0<α< 2r).

On Well-posed Mutually Nearest and Mutually Furthest Point Problems in Banach Spaces

Let G be a non-empty closed(resp．bounded closed)boundedly relatively weakly compact subset in a strictly convex Kadec Banach space X．Let K(X)denote the space of all non-empty compact convex subsets of X endowed with the Hausdorff distance．Moreover,let KG(X)denote the closure of the set {A∈K(x)：A∩G=0}．We prove that the set of all A∈KG(X)(resp．A∈K(X)),such that the minimization (resp．maximization)problem min(A,G)(resp．max(A,G))is well posed,contains a dense Gδ-subset of KG(X)(resp．K(X))．thus extending the recent results due to Blasi,Myjak and Papini and Li．     

Short-time Asymptotics of the Heat Kernel on Bounded Domain with Piecewise Smooth Boundary Conditions and Its Applications to an Ideal Gas

The asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel Θ(t)=sum from ∞to j=1 exp(-tλ_j) where {λ_j}_(j=1)~∞are the eigen-values of the negative Laplacian -Δ_n=-sum from n to k=1((?))~2 in R~n(n=2 or 3) is studied for short-time t for a generalbounded domain Ωwith a smooth boundary (?)Ω.In this paper,we consider the case of a finite number of theDirichlet conditions φ=0 on Γ_i (i=1,...,J) and the Neumann conditions (?)=0 on Γ_i (i=J 1,...,k) andthe Robin conditions ((?) γ_i)φ=0 on Γ_i (i=k 1,...,m) where γ_i are piecewise smooth positive impedancefunctions,such that (?)Ωconsists of a finite number of piecewise smooth components Γ_i(i=1,...,m) where(?)Ω=(?)Γ_i.We construct the required asymptotics in the form of a power series over t.The senior coefficients inthis series are specified as functionals of the geometric shape of the domain Ω.This result is applied to calculatethe one-particle partition function of a“special ideal gas”,i.e.,the set of non-interacting particles set up in abox with Dirichlet,Neumann and Robin boundary conditions for the appropriate wave function.Calculationof the thermodynamic quantities for the ideal gas such as the internal energy,pressure and specific heat revealsthat these quantities alone are incapable of distinguishing between two different shapes of the domain.Thisconclusion seems to be intuitively clear because it is based on a limited information given by a one-particlepartition function;nevertheless,its formal theoretical motivation is of some interest.     

Supersaturation For Ramsey-Turán Problems

For an l-graph , the Turán number is the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex l-graph containing no copy of . The limit is known to exist [8]. The Ramsey–Turán density is defined similarly to except that we restrict to only those with independence number o(n). A result of Erdős and Sós [3] states that as long as for every edge E of there is another edge E′of for which |E∩E′|≥2. Therefore a natural question is whether there exists for which . Another variant proposed in [3] requires the stronger condition that every set of vertices of of size at least εn (0<ε<1) has density bounded below by some threshold. By definition, for every . However, even is not known for very many l-graphs when l>2. We prove the existence of a phenomenon similar to supersaturation for Turán problems for hypergraphs. As a consequence, we construct, for each l≥3, infinitely many l-graphs for which . We also prove that the 3-graph with triples 12a, 12b, 12c, 13a, 13b, 13c, 23a, 23b, 23c, abc, satisfies . The existence of a hypergraph satisfying was conjectured by Erdős and Sós [3], proved by Frankl and R?dl [6], and later by Sidorenko [14]. Our short proof is based on different ideas and is simpler than these earlier proofs. * Research supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants DMS-9970325 and DMS-0400812, and an Alfred P.

The normal subgroup structure of the extended Hecke groups

We consider the extended Hecke groups generated by T(z) = −1/z, S(z) = −1/(z + λ) and R(z) = 1/z with λ ≥ 2. In this paper, firstly, we study the fundamental region of the extended Hecke groups . Then, we determine the abstract group structure of the commutator subgroups , the even subgroup , and the power subgroups of the extended Hecke groups . Also, finally, we give some relations between them.     

Exponential Attractor for a Nonlinear Boussinesq Equation

This paper is devoted to prove the existence of an exponential attractor for the semiflow generated by a nonlinear Boussinesq equation. We formulate the Boussinesq equation as an abstract equation in the Hilbert space H0^2（0, 1） × L^2（0, 1）. The main step in this research is to show that there exists an absorbing set for the solution semiflow in the Hilbert space H0^3（0, 1） × H0^1（0, 1）.     

Parametrization of Contractive Block Operator Matrices and Passive Discrete-Time Systems

Passive linear systems τ = have their transfer function in the Schur class S . Using a parametrization of contractive block operators the transfer function is connected to the Sz.-Nagy–Foiaş characteristic function of the contraction A. This gives a new aspect and some explicit formulas for studying the interplay between the system τ and the functions and . The method leads to some new results for linear passive discrete-time systems. Also new proofs for some known facts in the theory of these systems are obtained.

On the Schwarz reflection principle for monogenic functions

Let ∑ be either an oriented hyperplane or the unit sphere in , let be open and connected and let be an open and connected domain in such that . If in is a null solution of the Dirac operator (also called a monogenic function in ) which is continuously extendable to , then conditions upon are given enabling the monogenic extension of across . In such a way Schwarz reflection type principles for monogenic functions are established in the Spin (1) and Spin cases. The Spin (1) case includes the classical Schwarz reflection principle for holomorphic functions in the plane. The Spin case deals with so-called “half boundary value problems” for the Dirac operator.
