Soliton solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional and (3 + 1)-dimensional K(m, n) equations

We consider the nonlinear dispersive K(m,n) equation with the generalized evolution term and derive analytical expressions for some conserved quantities. By using a solitary wave ansatz in the form of sech^p function, we obtain exact bright soliton solutions for (2 + 1)-dimensional and (3 + 1)-dimensional K(m,n) equations with the generalized evolution terms. The results are then generalized to multi-dimensional K(m,n) equations in the presence of the generalized evolution term. An extended form of the K(m,n) equation with perturbation term is investigated. Exact bright soliton solution for the proposed K(m,n) equation having higher-order nonlinear term is determined. The physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as function of the dependent model coefficients.     

A trace theorem for Dirichlet forms on fractals

We consider a trace theorem for self-similar Dirichlet forms on self-similar sets to self-similar subsets. In particular, we characterize the trace of the domains of Dirichlet forms on Sierpinski gaskets and Sierpinski carpets to their boundaries, where the boundaries are represented by triangles and squares that confine the gaskets and the carpets. As an application, we construct diffusion processes on a collection of fractals called fractal fields. These processes behave as an appropriate fractal diffusion within each fractal component of the field.     

Soliton solutions of a BBM(m, n) equation with generalized evolution

We consider a BBM(m, n) equation which is a generalization of the celebrated Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation with generalized evolution term. By using two solitary wave ansatze in terms of sech^p(x) and tanh^p(x) functions, we find exact analytical bright and dark soliton solutions for the considered model. The physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as function of the dependent model coefficients. The conditions of existence of solitons are presented. Note that, it is always useful and desirable to construct exact analytical solutions especially soliton-type envelope for the understanding of most nonlinear physical phenomena.     

On the m order difference sequence space of generalized weighted mean and compact operators

In this article, using generalized weighted mean and difference matrix of order m, we introduce the paranormed sequence space ?(u, v, p; Δ^(m)), which consist of the sequences whose generalized weighted Δ^(m)-difference means are in the linear space ?(p) defined by I.J. Maddox. Also, we determine the basis of this space and compute its α-, β- and γ-duals. Further, we give the characterization of the classes of matrix mappings from ?(u, v, p, Δ^(m)) to ?_∞, c and c₀. Finally, we apply the Hausdorff measure of noncompacness to characterize some classes of compact operators given by matrices on the space ?_p(u, v, Δ^(m))(1 ≤ p < ∞).     

The concept of fractal experiments: New possibilities in quantitative description of quasi-reproducible measurements

In this paper the authors suggest a new conception of the so-called fractal (self-similar) experiment. Under the fractal experiment (FE) one can imply a cycle of measurements that are subjected by the scaling transformations F(z) → F(zξ^m) in contrast with conventional scheme F(z) → F(z + mT) (m = 0,1,…, M–1), where z defines the controllable (input) variable and can be associated with time, complex frequency, wavelength and etc., T – mean period of time between successive measurements and m defines a number of successive measurements. One can connect a fractal experiment with specific memory effect that arises between successive measurements. The general theory of experiment for quasi-periodic measurements proposed in [1] after some transformations can be applied for the set of the FE, as well. But attentive analysis shown in this paper allows generalizing the previous results for the case when the influence of uncontrollable factors becomes significant. The theory developed for this case allows to consider more real cases when the influence of dynamic (unstable) processes taking place during the cycle of measurements corresponding to some FE is becoming essential. These experiments we define as quasi-reproducible (QR) fractal experiments.The proposed concept opens new possibilities in theory of measurements and numerous applications, especially in different nanotechnologies, when the influence of the scaling factor plays the essential role. This concept allows also to introduce the so-called intermediate model (IM) which can serve as an unified platform for reconciliation of the proposed microscopic theory with reliable experiments “refined” from the influence of the random noise and apparatus function. We forced to consider a modified model experiment in order to demonstrate some common peculiarities that can be appeared in real cases. We know only couple of similar examples of experiments that are close to the proposed concept. Mechanical relaxation and dielectric spectroscopy (based on measurements of the complex susceptibility ε(jω)) represent the branches of physics related to consideration of mechanical and electric relaxation phenomena in different heterogeneous materials. The dielectric spectroscopy can be considered as an instructive example for better understanding of the proposed concept.In cases, when the microscopic model is absent the results of measurements can be expressed in terms of the fitting parameters associated with the generalized Prony spectrum (GPS) belonging to the IM. The authors do hope that this new approach will find an interesting continuation in various applications of different nanotechnologies.     

On the longest service time in a busy period of the M⧸G⧸1 queue

This paper considers the supremum m of the service times of the customers served in a busy period of the M?G?1 queueing system. An implicit expression for the distribution m(w) of m is derived. This expression leads to some bounds for m(w), while it can also be used to obtain numerical results. The tail behaviour of m(w) is investigated, too. The results are particularly useful in the analysis of a class of tandem queueing systems.     

Heckman-Opdam's Jacobi polynomials for the BCn root system and generalized spherical functions

We prove that the radial part of the Laplacian on the space of generalized spherical functions on the symmetric space GL(m+n)/GL(m)×GL(n) is the Sutherland differential operator for the root system BC_n and the radial parts of the differential operators corresponding to the higher Casimirs yield the integrals of the quantum Calogero-Moser system. It allows us to give a representation theoretical construction for the three parameter family of Heckman-Opdam's Jacobi polynomials for the BC_n root system.     

Generalized Bowen-Franks groups of integral matrices with the same zeta function

In this paper the relation between the zeta function of an integral matrix and its generalized Bowen-Franks groups is studied. Suppose that A and B are nonnegative integral matrices whose invertible part is diagonalizable over the field of complex numbers and A and B have the same zeta function. Then there is an integer m, which depends only on the zeta function, such that, for any prime q such that gcd(q,m)=1, for any g(x)∈Z[x] with g(0)=1, the q-Sylow subgroup of the generalized Bowen-Franks group BF_g(x)(A) and BF_g(x)(B) are the same. In particular, if m=1, then zeta function determines generalized Bowen-Franks groups.     

On the existence of certain generalized Moore geometries,part I

Using methods of Algebraic Graph Theory, generalized Moore geometries of type GM_m(s, t, c) with c = s + 1 are investigated. It is shown that such geometries do not exist for odd values of the diameter m exceeding 7, if st>1.     

Minimal free resolution of the associated graded ring of monomial curves of generalized arithmetic sequences

Let A(C) be the coordinate ring of a monomial curve C⊆Aⁿ corresponding to the numerical semigroup S minimally generated by a sequence a₀,…,a_n. In the literature, little is known about the Betti numbers of the corresponding associated graded ring gr_m(A) with respect to the maximal ideal m of A=A(C). In this paper we characterize the numerical invariants of a minimal free resolution of gr_m(A) in the case a₀,…,a_n is a generalized arithmetic sequence.     

Poisson structures on affine spaces and flag varieties. I. Matrix affine Poisson space

The standard Poisson structure on the rectangular matrix variety Mm,n(C) is investigated, via the orbits of symplectic leaves under the action of the maximal torus T⊂GLm+n(C). These orbits, finite in number, are shown to be smooth irreducible locally closed subvarieties of Mm,n(C), isomorphic to intersections of dual Schubert cells in the full flag variety of GLm+n(C). Three different presentations of the T-orbits of symplectic leaves in Mm,n(C) are obtained: (a) as pullbacks of Bruhat cells in GLm+n(C) under a particular map; (b) in terms of rank conditions on rectangular submatrices; and (c) as matrix products of sets similar to double Bruhat cells in GLm(C) and GLn(C). In presentation (a), the orbits of leaves are parametrized by a subset of the Weyl group Sm+n, such that inclusions of Zariski closures correspond to the Bruhat order. Presentation (b) allows explicit calculations of orbits. From presentation (c) it follows that, up to Zariski closure, each orbit of leaves is a matrix product of one orbit with a fixed column-echelon form and one with a fixed row-echelon form. Finally, decompositions of generalized double Bruhat cells in Mm,n(C) (with respect to pairs of partial permutation matrices) into unions of T-orbits of symplectic leaves are obtained.     

Shellability and higher Cohen-Macaulay connectivity of generalized cluster complexes

Let Φ be a finite root system of rank n and let m be a nonnegative integer. The generalized cluster complex Δ^m(Φ) was introduced by S. Fomin and N. Reading. It was conjectured by these authors that Δ^m(Φ) is shellable and by V. Reiner that it is (m + 1)-Cohen-Macaulay, in the sense of Baclawski. These statements are proved in this paper. Analogous statements are shown to hold for the positive part Δ₊^m(Φ) of Δ^m(Φ). An explicit homotopy equivalence is given between Δ₊^m(Φ) and the poset of generalized noncrossing partitions, associated to the pair (Φ, m) by D. Armstrong.     

Generalized convexity and inequalities

Let R₊=(0,∞) and let M be the family of all mean values of two numbers in R₊ (some examples are the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means). Given m₁,m₂∈M, we say that a function is (m₁,m₂)-convex if f(m₁(x,y))?m₂(f(x),f(y)) for all x,y∈R₊. The usual convexity is the special case when both mean values are arithmetic means. We study the dependence of (m₁,m₂)-convexity on m₁ and m₂ and give sufficient conditions for (m₁,m₂)-convexity of functions defined by Maclaurin series. The criteria involve the Maclaurin coefficients. Our results yield a class of new inequalities for several special functions such as the Gaussian hypergeometric function and a generalized Bessel function.     

On the irreducibility of a certain class of Laguerre polynomials

R. Gow has investigated the problem of determining classical polynomials with Galois group A_m, the alternating group on m letters, in the case that m is even (odd m being previously handled in work of I. Schur). He showed that the generalized Laguerre polynomial L_m^(m)(x), defined below, has Galois group A_m provided m>2 is even and L_m^(m)(x) is irreducible (and obtained irreducibility in some cases). In this paper, we establish that L_m^(m)(x) is irreducible for almost all m (and, hence, has Galois group A_m for almost all even m).     

On stable crossing numbers

Results giving the exact crossing number of an infinite family of graphs on some surface are very scarce. In this paper we show the following: for G = Q_n × K_4.4, cr_y(G)-m(G) = 4m, for 0 ? = m ? 2ⁿ. A generalization is obtained, for certain repeated cartesian products of bipartite graphs. Nonorientable analogs are also developed.     

Paving the chessboard

A recursion for determining exact numbers μ(m, n) of monomer-dimer configurations on m × n rectangular boards is established. For large m and n close approximations to μ(m, n) are obtained. The methods may be extended to the case of a given fixed number of dimers.     

Intersection of the Sierpinski carpet with its rational translate

Motivated by Mandelbrot’s idea of referring to lacunarity of Cantor sets in terms of departure from translation invariance, Nekka and Li studied the properties of these translation sets and showed how they can be used for a classification purpose. In this paper, we pursue this study on the Sierpinski carpet with its rational translate. We also get the fractal structure of intersection I(x, y) of the Sierpinski carpet with its translate. We find that the packing measure of these sets forms a discrete spectrum whose non-zero values come only from shifting numbers with a finite triadic expansion. Concretely, when x and y have a finite triadic expansion, a very brief calculation formula of the measure is given.     

A note on the numerical evaluation of finite integrals of oscillatory functions

A method is described for the numerical evaluation of integrals of the form ∫ _?1 ¹ f(x)K(m,x)dx, wheref(x) is smooth in [?1,1], whileK(m,x) is highly oscillatory for large values ofm.
