This paper studios the existence of closed geodesics in the homotopy class of a given closed curve. Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold without boundary, f∈C~1(S~1, M). Look at S~1 as [0, 2π]/{0, 2π}. The following results are proved:A. The initial value problem of heat equation _if_t=τ(f_i), f_0=f always admits a global solution.B. (Existence of closed geodesics). If there exists a compact set KM such that f(S~1)∩K≠φ andE(f)≤(1/π)l(K)~2,then there exists a closed geodesic homotopic to f. If then the closed geodesic is minimal.C. Some estimates about injective radius are obtained.Some example is found showing that the inequalities in B are sharp.

ON ADMISSffilLITY OF VARIANCE COMPONENTS ESTIMATES

Suppose that there is a variance components model $$\[\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {E\mathop Y\limits_{n \times 1} = \mathop X\limits_{n \times p} \mathop \beta \limits_{p \times 1} }\{DY = \sigma _2^2{V_1} + \sigma _2^2{V_2}} \end{array}} \right.\]$$ where $\[\beta \]$,$\[\sigma _1^2\]$ and $\[\sigma _2^2\]$ are all unknown, $\[X,V > 0\]$ and $\[{V_2} > 0\]$ are all known, $\[r(X) < n\]$. The author estimates simultaneously $\[(\sigma _1^2,\sigma _2^2)\]$. Estimators are restricted to the class $\[D = \{ d({A_1}{A_2}) = ({Y^''}{A_1}Y,{Y^''}{A_2}Y),{A_1} \ge 0,{A_2} \ge 0\} \]$. Suppose that the loss function is $\[L(d({A_1},{A_2}),(\sigma _1^2,\sigma _2^2)) = \frac{1}{{\sigma _1^4}}({Y^''}{A_1}Y - \sigma _1^2) + \frac{1}{{\sigma _2^4}}{({Y^''}{A_2}Y - \sigma _2^2)^2}\]$. This paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for $\[d({A_1},{A_2})\]$ to be an equivariant D-asmissible estimator under the restriction $\[{V_1} = {V_2}\]$, and a sufficient condition and a necessary condition for $\[d({A_1},{A_2})\]$ to equivariant D-asmissible without the restriction.     

ON THE DIOPHANUNE EQUATION $\[\sum\limits_{i = 0}^N {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{{d_i}}}} \equiv 0\]$ (mod 1) AND ITS APPLICATIONS

The number $\[A({d_1}, \cdots ,{d_n})\]$ of solutions of the equation $$\[\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{{d_i}}}} \equiv 0(\bmod 1),0 < {x_i} < {d_i}(i = 1,2, \cdots ,n)\]$$ where all the $\[{d_i}s\]$ are positive integers, is of significance in the estimation of the number $\[N({d_1}, \cdots {d_n})\]$ of solutiohs in a finite field $\[{F_q}\]$ of the equation $$\[\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{a_i}x_i^{{d_i}}} = 0,{x_i} \in {F_q}(i = 1,2, \cdots ,n)\]$$ where all the $\[a_i^''s\]$ belong to $\[F_q^*\]$. the multiplication group of $\[F_q^{[1,2]}\]$. In this paper, applying the inclusion-exclusion principle, a greneral formula to compute $\[A({d_1}, \cdots ,{d_n})\]$ is obtained. For some special cases more convenient formulas for $\[A({d_1}, \cdots ,{d_n})\]$ are also given, for example, if $\[{d_i}|{d_{i + 1}},i = 1, \cdots ,n - 1\]$, then $$\[A({d_1}, \cdots ,{d_n}) = ({d_{n - 1}} - 1) \cdots ({d_1} - 1) - ({d_{n - 2}} - 1) \cdots ({d_1} - 1) + \cdots + {( - 1)^n}({d_2} - 1)({d_1} - 1) + {( - 1)^n}({d_1} - 1).\]$$     

GLOBAL EXISTENCE OF THE SOLUTIONS OF NONLINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS IN EXTERIOR DOMAINS

This paper deals with the following IBV problem of nonlinear parabolic equation: $$\[\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{u_t} = \Delta u + F(u,{D_x}u,D_x^2u),(t,x) \in {B^ + } \times \Omega ,}\{u(0,x) = \varphi (x),x \in \Omega }\{u{|_{\partial \Omega }} = 0} \end{array}} \right.\]$$ where $\[\Omega \]$ is the exterior domain of a compact set in $\[{R^n}\]$ with smooth boundary and F satisfies $\[\left| {F(\lambda )} \right| = o({\left| \lambda \right|^2})\]$, near $\[\lambda = 0\]$. It is proved that when $\[n \ge 3\]$, under the suitable smoothness and compatibility conditions, the above problem has a unique global smooth solution for small initial data. Moreover, It is also proved that the solution has the decay property $\[{\left\| {u(t)} \right\|_{{L^\infty }(\Omega )}} = o({t^{ - \frac{n}{2}}})\]$, as $\[t \to + \infty \]$.     

ON THE RELATIVE POSITION OF LIMIT CYCLES FOR THE EQUATION OF TYPE $\[{(II)_{l = 0}}\]$

In this paper, we consider the relative position of limit cycles for the system $$\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = \delta x - y + mxy - {y^2}}\{\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = x + a{x^2}} \end{array}\]$$ under the condition $$\[a < 0,0 < \delta \le m,m \le \frac{1}{a} - a\]$$ The main result is as follows: (i)Under Condition (2), if $\[\delta = \frac{m}{2} + \frac{{{m^2}}}{{4a}} \equiv {\delta _0}\]$, then system $\[{(1)_{{\delta _0}}}\] $ has no limit cycles and on singular closed trajectory through a saddle point in the whole plane, (ii)Under condition (2), the foci 0 and R'' cannot be surrounded by the limit cycles of system (1) simultaneously.     

ON THE ERROR FUNCTION OF THE SQUARE-FULL INTEGERS

Let L(x) denote the number of square-full integers not exceeding x. It is proved in [1] thatL(x)～(ζ(3/2)/ζ(3))x~(1/2) (ζ(2/3)/ζ(2))x~(1/3) as x→∞,where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann zeta function. Let △(x) denote the error function in the asymptotic formula for L(x). It was shown by D. Suryanaryana~([2]) on the Riemann hypothesis (RH) that1/x integral from n=1 to x |△(t)|dt=O(x~(1/10 s))for every ε>0. In this paper the author proves the following asymptotic formula for the mean-value of △(x) under the assumption of R. H.integral from n=1 to T (△~2(t/t~(6/5))) dt～c log T,where c>0 is a constant.     

NONLINEAR INITIAL-BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR QUASILINEAR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM

A NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION FOR THE OSCILLATION OF HIGHER-ORDER NEUTRAL EQUATIONS WITH SEVERAL DELAYS

Consider the higher-order neutral delay differential equationd~t/dt~n(x(t)+sum from i=1 to lp_ix(t-τ_i)-sum from j=1 to mr_jx(t-ρ_j))+sum from k=1 to Nq_kx(t-u_k)=0,(A)where the coefficients and the delays are nonnegative constants with n≥2 even. Then anecessary and sufficient condition for the oscillation of (A) is that the characteristicequationλ~n+λ~nsum from i=1 to lp_ie~(-λτ_i-λ~n)sum from j=1 to mr_je~(-λρ_j)+sum from k=1 to Nq_ke~(-λρ_k)=0has no real roots.     

THE PERTURBATION OF ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTION OF ALMOST PERIODIC SYSTEM

By using the exponential dichotomy and the averaging method,a perturbation theoryis established for the almost periodic solutions of an almost differential system.Suppose that the almost periodic differential system(dx)/(dt)=f(x,t) ε~2g(x,t,ε)(1)has an almost periodic solution x=x_0(t,M)for ε=0,where M=(m_1,…,m_k)is theparameter vector.The author discusses the conditions under which(1)has an almostperiodic solution x=x(t,ε)such that x(t,ε)=x_0(t,M)holds uniformly.The results obtained are quite complete.     

UNUNIQUENESS OF SOME HOLOMORPHIC FUNCTIONS

In the present paper, we show that there exist a bounded, holomorphic function $\[f(z) \ne 0\]$ in the domain $\[\{ z = x + iy:\left| y \right| < \alpha \} \]$ such that $\[f(z)\]$ has a Dirichlet expansion $\[\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{ + \infty } {{d_n}{e^{ - {u_n}}}} \]$ in the halfplane $\[x > {x_f}\]$ if and only if $\[\frac{a}{\pi }\log r - \sum\limits_{{u_n} < r} {\frac{2}{{{u_n}}}} \]$ has a finite upperbound on $\[[1, + \infty )\]$, where $\[\alpha \]$ is a positive constant,$\[{x_f}( < + \infty )\]$ is the abscissa of convergence of $\[\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{ + \infty } {{d_n}{e^{ - {u_n}}}} \]$ and the infinite sequence $\[\{ {u_n}\} \]$ satisfies $\[\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to + \infty } ({u_{n + 1}} - {u_n}) > 0\]$. We also point out some necessary conditions and sufficient ones Such that a bounded holomorphic function in an angular(or half-band) domain is identically zero if an infinite sequence of its derivatives and itself vanish at some point of the domain. Here some result are generalizations of those in [4].     

THE AUTOMORPHISMS OF NON—DEFECTIVE ORTHOGONAL GROUPS $\[{\Omega _S}(V)\]$ AND $\[O_s^''\]$ IN CHARACTERISTIC 2

Let $V$ be a non-defective S-dimensional quadratic space over a field $F$ of characteristic 2, $\[F \ne {F_2}\]$. We prove that if there is an exceptional automorphism of either $\[{\Omega _S}(V)\]$ or $\[O_S^''(V)\]$ then $\[{V^\alpha }\]$ has a Cayley algebra structure for some $\[\alpha \]$ in F. Moreover, every exceptional automorphism of $\[O_S^''(V)\]$ has exactly one of the following forms: $$\[{\varphi _1} \circ {\Phi _g}or{\varphi _2} \circ {\Phi _g}\]$$ where $\[{\Phi _g}\]$ is an automorphism of $\[O_S^''(V)\]$ given by conjugation by a semilinear automorphism of V which preserves the quadratic structure, and $\[{\varphi _1}\]$ and $\[{\varphi _2}\]$ are the automorphisms induced by triality principle. Every exceptional automorphism of $\[{\Omega _S}(V)\]$ is the restriction of a unique exceptional automorpliism of $\[O_S^''(V)\]$.     

ON A CONJECTURE OF F. NEVANLINNA CONCERNING DEFICIENT FUNCTION (II)

The paper proves on the basis of [1] the following theorem: Let $\[f(z)\]$ be an entire function of lower order $\[\mu < \infty \]$, and $\[{a_i}(z)(l = 1,2, \cdots ,k)\]$ be meromorphic functions which satisfy $\[T(r,{a_i}(z)) = o\{ T(r,f)\} \]$. If $$\[\sum\limits_{i = 1}^k {\delta ({a_i}(z),f) = 1\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {({a_i}(z) \ne \infty )}&{(1)} \end{array}} \]$$ then the deficiencies $\[\delta ({a_i}(z),f)\]$ are equal to $\[\frac{{{n_1}}}{\mu }\]$, where $\[{n_i}\]$ is an integer,$\[l = 1,2, \cdots ,k\]$.
