Linear problems of the stability of a type of rotation of a satellite about the centre of mass

The stability in the first approximation of the rotation of a satellite about a centre of mass is investigated. In the unperturbed motion the satellite performs, in absolute space, three rotations around the normal to the orbital plane in a time equal to two periods of rotation of its centre of mass in the orbit (Mercury-type rotation). Three cases of such rotations are considered: the rotations of a dynamically symmetrical satellite and a satellite, the central ellipsoid of inertia of which is close to a sphere, in an elliptic orbit of arbitrary eccentricity, and the rotation of a satellite with three different principal central moments of inertia in a circular orbit.     

Choice of the best alternative in case of a continuous set of states of nature-application of fuzzy numbers

On the basis of a known application of an order weighted averaging operator to the decision making in the case of a discrete set of states of nature, a general approach to the case of a continuous set of states of nature is proposed. The general approach encompasses various types of attitudes of the decision maker, expressed in the form of fuzzy numbers.     

Impacts of inquiry pedagogy on undergraduate students conceptions of the function of proof

Mathematicians and mathematics educators agree that proof is an important tool in mathematics, yet too often undergraduate students see proof as a superficial part of the discipline. While proof is often used by mathematicians to justify that a theorem is true, many times proof is used for another purpose entirely such as to explain why a particular statement is true or to show mathematics students a particular proof technique. This paper reports on a study that used a form of inquiry-based learning (IBL) in an introduction to proof course and measured the beliefs of students in this course about the different functions of proof in mathematics as compared to students in a non-IBL course. It was found that undergraduate students in an introduction to proof course had a more robust understanding of the functions of proof than previous studies would suggest. Additionally, students in the course taught using inquiry pedagogy were more likely to appreciate the communication, intellectual challenge, and providing autonomy functions of proof. It is hypothesized that these results are a response to the pedagogy of the course and the types of student activity that were emphasized.     

Effect of viscosity of a thermoplastic prepreg and matrix upon winding of rings

The problem of compression of a unidirectional layer and shear of a polymer interlayer during winding of rings is considered. The equations determining the dependence of the layer thickness and stresses on the parameters entering into the power flow law for a prepreg and polymer matrix and on the basic parameters of the winding process—the initial tension of the prepreg, its placement rate, and the radius of a mandrel—are derived. The ring thickness measurements obtained at various temperatures and initial tension forces of plies confirm the adequacy of the model offered. It is found that the viscous properties of the prepreg and matrix upon winding affect the relative change in the layer thickness to a greater extent than the stresses in these layers. With increase in temperature and tension force upon winding, the effect of viscous deformations of the prepreg and matrix increases. A decrease in viscosity and an increase in the tension force of the tape lead to a higher strength of the ring in tension and interlaminar shear; however, the growing percolation of the polymer melt leads to a greater inhomogeneity of the structure of the composite in the ring and to a lower reinforcing effect of the factors mentioned.

A theory of sets with the negation of the axiom of infinity

In this paper we introduce a theory of finite sets FST with a strong negation of the axiom of infinity asserting that every set is provably bijective with a natural number. We study in detail the role of the axioms of Power Set, Choice, Regularity in FST, pointing out the relative dependences or independences among them. FST is shown to be provably equivalent to a fragment of Alternative Set Theory. Furthermore, the introduction of FST is motivated in view of a non-standard development. MSC: 03E30, 03E35.     

Origin of the division of labour and a stochastic mechanism of differentiation

Nonlinear models are introduced to describe the nonequilibrium dynamics of social evolution. The difference between Western and Oriental culture, and their roles in the origin in the division of labour, are described by a behavioural model in information diffusion and learning competition. It shows a tradeoff between stability and diversity. The stochastic mechanism of social differentiation and the empirical evidence for this is discussed in a stochastic model of multi-staged development. It shows the breakdown of the Gaussian distribution during a transition. Finally, an ideal model of social bifurcation is given.     

Lattices of dominions of universal algebras

We fix a universal algebra A and its subalgebra H. The dominion of H in A (in a class M) is the set of all elements a ∈ A such that any pair of homomorphisms f, g: A → M ∈ M satisfies the following: if f and g coincide on H then f(a) = g(a). In association with every quasivariety, therefore, is a dominion of H in A. Sufficient conditions are specified under which a set of dominions form a lattice. The lattice of dominions is explored for down-semidistributivity. We point out a class of algebras (including groups, rings) such that every quasivariety in this class contains an algebra whose lattice of dominions is anti-isomorphic to a lattice of subquasivarieties of that quasivariety. __________ Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 46, No. 1, pp. 26–45, January–February, 2007.     

Tails of random sums of a heavy-tailed number of light-tailed terms

The tail of the distribution of a sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed nonnegative random variables depends on the tails of the number of terms and of the terms themselves. This situation is of interest in the collective risk model, where the total claim size in a portfolio is the sum of a random number of claims. If the tail of the claim number is heavier than the tail of the claim sizes, then under certain conditions the tail of the total claim size does not change asymptotically if the individual claim sizes are replaced by their expectations. The conditions allow the claim number distribution to be of consistent variation or to be in the domain of attraction of a Gumbel distribution with a mean excess function that grows to infinity sufficiently fast. Moreover, the claim number is not necessarily required to be independent of the claim sizes.     

Partial sum of matrix entries of representations of the symmetric group and its asymptotics

Many aspects of the asymptotics of Plancherel distributed partitions have been studied in the past fifty years, in particular the limit shape, the distribution of the longest rows, connections with random matrix theory and characters of the representation matrices of the symmetric group. Regarding the latter, we extend a celebrated result of Kerov on the asymptotic of Plancherel distributed characters by studying partial trace and partial sum of a representation matrix. We decompose each of these objects into a main term and a reminder, and for each such a decomposition we prove a central limit theorem for the main term. We apply these results to prove a law of large numbers for the partial sum. Our main tool is the expansion of symmetric functions evaluated on Jucys–Murphy elements.
