二次曲面和平面位置关系的判式

在解析几何中有二次曲线与直线位置关系的讨论、二次曲面与直线位置关系的讨论,而二次曲面与平面相关位置关系的探讨较少.本文给出二次曲面a11x2+a22y2+a33z2+2a12xy+2a13xz+2a23yz+2a14x+2a24y+2a34z+a44=0(1)和平面Ax+By+Cz+D=0(2)的相对位置的判别式Δ=a11a12a13a14Aa21a22a23a24Ba31a32a33a34Ca41a42a43a44DA B C D0(aij=aji).(3)并证明了:若Δ>0,则二次曲面(1)与平面(2)相交;若Δ=0,则(1)和(2)相切;若Δ<0,则(1)和(2)相离.     

Subspaces and quotients of Banach spaces with shrinking unconditional bases

The main result is that a separable Banach space with the weak* unconditional tree property is isomorphic to a subspace as well as a quotient of a Banach space with a shrinking unconditional basis. A consequence of this is that a Banach space is isomorphic to a subspace of a space with a shrinking unconditional basis if and only if it is isomorphic to a quotient of a space with a shrinking unconditional basis, which solves a problem dating to the 1970s. The proof of the main result also yields that a uniformly convex space with the unconditional tree property is isomorphic to a subspace as well as a quotient of a uniformly convex space with an unconditional finite dimensional decomposition.     

Stochastic Control Methods: Hedging in a Market Described by Pure Jump Processes

This paper considers the asset price movements in a financial market with a risky asset and a bond. The dynamics of the risky asset, modeled by a marked point process, depend on a stochastic factor, modeled also by a marked point process. The possibility of common jump times with the price is allowed. The problem studied is to determine a strategy maximizing the expected value of a utility function of the hedging error. Two different approaches are considered: an Hamilton Jacobi Bellmann equation is studied for a simplified model and a contraction technique is introduced for a more general model.     

The stress state of an elastic composite cone with centre of rotation at the apex

The torsion of a composite cone that has a centre of rotation at its apex is investigated in a spherical system of coordinates. A composite cone is a cone with one shear modulus, inserted into a conical funnel having another shear modulus and with ideal mechanical contact between its surface and the inner surface of the conical funnel. The auxiliary problem of a composite cone with its apex truncated by a spherical surface is considered first. The outer surface of such a conical body is not loaded, but a load that reduces to a torque is applied to its spherical surface. The auxiliary problem is reduced to a one-dimensional discontinuous boundary-value problem using a specially constructed integral transformation. The exact solution of this boundary-value problem is constructed. The limit is then taken in the solution obtained as the radius of the spherical surface tends to zero for the purpose of obtaining an exact solution of the problem of the torsion of a composite cone that has a centre of rotation at the apex.     

Partially isometric dilations of noncommuting -tuples of operators

Given a row contraction of operators on a Hilbert space and a family of projections on the space that stabilizes the operators, we show there is a unique minimal joint dilation to a row contraction of partial isometries that satisfy natural relations. For a fixed row contraction the set of all dilations forms a partially ordered set with a largest and smallest element. A key technical device in our analysis is a connection with directed graphs. We use a Wold decomposition for partial isometries to describe the models for these dilations, and we discuss how the basic properties of a dilation depend on the row contraction.

     

Dynamic frictionless contact with adhesion

A model for the dynamic, adhesive, frictionless contact between a viscoelastic body and a deformable foundation is described. The adhesion process is modeled by a bonding field on the contact surface. The contact is described by a modified normal compliance condition. The tangential shear due to the bonding field is included. The problem is formulated as a coupled system of a variational equality for the displacements and a differential equation for the bonding field. The existence of a unique weak solution for the problem is established, together with a partial regularity result. The existence proof proceeds by construction of an appropriate mapping which is shown to be a contraction on a Hilbert space.     

Harmonic and pulse excitations of multiply connected cylindrical bodies

The three-dimensional problem of the theory of elasticity of the harmonic oscillations of cylindrical bodies (a layer with several tunnel cavities on a cylinder of finite length) is considered for uniform mixed boundary conditions on its bases. Using the Φ-solutions constructed, the boundary-value problems are reduced to a system of well-known one-dimensional singular integral equations. The solution of the problem of the pulse excitation of a layer on the surface of a cavity is “assembled” from a packet of corresponding harmonic oscillations using an integral Fourier transformation with respect to time. The results of calculations of the dynamic stress concentration in a layer (a plate) weakened by one and two openings of different configuration are given, as well as the amplitude-frequency characteristics for a cylinder of finite length with a transverse cross section in the form of a square with rounded corners, and data of calculations for a trapeziform pulse, acting on the surface of a circular cavity, are presented.     

A generalized duality and applications

The aim of this paper is to present a nonconvex duality with a zero gap and its connection with convex duality. Since a convex program can be regarded as a particular case of convex maximization over a convex set, a nonconvex duality can be regarded as a generalization of convex duality. The generalized duality can be obtained on the basis of convex duality and minimax theorems. The duality with a zero gap can be extended to a more general nonconvex problems such as a quasiconvex maximization over a general nonconvex set or a general minimization over the complement of a convex set. Several applications are given.On leave from the Institute of Mathematics, Hanoi, Vietnam.     

Mini-Maximizers for Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Skew-Gradient Structure

A reaction-diffusion system with skew-gradient structure is a sort of activator-inhibitor system that consists of two gradient systems coupled in a skew-symmetric way. Any steady state of such a system corresponds to a critical point of some functional. The aim of this paper is to study the relation between a stability property as a steady state of the reaction-diffusion system and a mini-maximizing property as a critical point of the functional. It is shown that a steady state of the skew-gradient system is stable regardless of time constants if and only if it is a mini-maximizer of the functional. It is also shown that the mini-maximizing property is closely related with the diffusion-induced instability. Moreover, by using the property that any mini-maximizer on a convex domain is spatially homogeneous, quite a general instability criterion is obtained for some activator-inhibitor systems. These results are applied to the diffusive FitzHugh-Nagumo system and the Gierer-Meinhardt system.     

The Varieties of Tangent Lines to Hypersurfaces in Projective Spaces

For a hypersurface in a projective space, we consider the set of pairs of a point and a line in the projective space such that the line intersects the hypersurface at the point with a fixed multiplicity. We prove that this set of pairs forms a smooth variety for a general hypersurface.     

Construction of a CPA contraction metric for periodic orbits using semidefinite optimization

A Riemannian metric with a local contraction property can be used to prove existence and uniqueness of a periodic orbit and determine a subset of its basin of attraction. While the existence of such a contraction metric is equivalent to the existence of an exponentially stable periodic orbit, the explicit construction of the metric is a difficult problem.In this paper, the construction of such a contraction metric is achieved by formulating it as an equivalent problem, namely a feasibility problem in semidefinite optimization. The contraction metric, a matrix-valued function, is constructed as a continuous piecewise affine (CPA) function, which is affine on each simplex of a triangulation of the phase space. The contraction conditions are formulated as conditions on the values at the vertices.The paper states a semidefinite optimization problem. We prove on the one hand that a feasible solution of the optimization problem determines a CPA contraction metric and on the other hand that the optimization problem is always feasible if the system has an exponentially stable periodic orbit and the triangulation is fine enough. An objective function can be used to obtain a bound on the largest Floquet exponent of the periodic orbit.     

Semirings and path spaces

This paper develops a unified algebraic theory for a class of path problems such as that of finding the shortest or, more generally, the k shortest paths in a network; the enumeration of elemementary or simple paths in a graph. It differs from most earlier work in that the algebraic structure appended to a graph or a network of a path problem is not axiomatically given as a starting point of the theory, but is derived from a novel concept called a “path space”. This concept is shown to provide a coherent framework for the analysis of path problems, and hence the development of algebraic methods for solving them.     

Scheduling Parts in a Combined Production-transportation Work Cell

This paper is concerned with a combined production-transportation scheduling problem. The problem comprises a simple, two-machine, automated manufacturing cell, which either stands alone or is a subunit of a complete flexible manufacturing system. The cell consists of two machines in series with a dedicated part-handling device such as a crane or robotic arm for transferring parts from the first machine to the second. The loading of a new piece on the first machine and the ejection of a finished piece from the second machine are performed by dedicated automated mechanisms. The introduction of parts into the system is done n at a time, whereby the parts are reshuffled into a sequence that minimizes completion time. All processing and transfer times are considered deterministic—a reasonable assumption for a cell comprising a robotic transfer device and two CNC machining units. What complicates the problem is the assumption of a non-negligible time for the transfer device to return (empty) from the second machine to the first. The operation is a generalization of a two-machine flowshop problem, and is formulated as a specially structured, asymmetric travelling salesman problem. An approximate polynomial time 0(n log n) algorithm is proffered. The procedure incorporates a lower bound using the Gilmore–Gomory algorithm for the no-wait, two-machine flowshop problem.     

The mathematical theory of growing bodies. Finite deformations

The fundamentals of the mathematical theory of accreting bodies for finite deformations are explained using the concept of the bundle of a differentiable manifold that enables one to construct a clear classification of the accretion processes. One of the possible types of accretion, as due to the continuous addition of stressed material surfaces to a three-dimensional body, is considered. The complete system of equations of the mechanics of accreting bodies is presented. Unlike in problems for bodies of constant composition, the tensor field of the incompatible distortion, which can be found from the equilibrium condition for the boundary of growth, that is, a material surface in contact with a deformable three-dimensional body, enters into these equations. Generally speaking, a growing body does not have a stress-free configuration in three-dimensional Euclidean space. However, there is such a configuration on a certain three-dimensional manifold with a non-Euclidean affine connectedness caused by a non-zero torsion tensor that is a measure of the incompatibility of the deformation of the growing body. Mathematical models of the stress-strain state of a growing body are therefore found to be equivalent to the models of bodies with a continuous distribution of the dislocations.     

A partial differential equation connected to option pricing with stochastic volatility: Regularity results and discretization

This paper completes a previous work on a Black and Scholes equation with stochastic volatility. This is a degenerate parabolic equation, which gives the price of a European option as a function of the time, of the price of the underlying asset, and of the volatility, when the volatility is a function of a mean reverting Orstein-Uhlenbeck process, possibly correlated with the underlying asset. The analysis involves weighted Sobolev spaces. We give a characterization of the domain of the operator, which permits us to use results from the theory of semigroups. We then study a related model elliptic problem and propose a finite element method with a regular mesh with respect to the intrinsic metric associated with the degenerate operator. For the error estimate, we need to prove an approximation result.

Spectrum of a homogeneous graph

We describe the spectrum of the Laplacian for a homogeneous graph acted on by a discrete group. This follows from a more general result which describes the spectrum of a convolution operator on a homogeneous space of a locally compact group. We also prove a version of Harnack inequality for a Schrödinger operator on an invariant homogeneous graph.     

On Martingale Approximation of Adapted Processes

We show that the existence of a martingale approximation of a stationary process depends on the choice of the filtration. There exists a stationary linear process which has a martingale approximation with respect to the natural filtration, but no approximation with respect to a larger filtration with respect to which it is adapted and regular. There exists a stationary process adapted, regular, and having a martingale approximation with respect to a given filtration but not (regular and having a martingale approximation) with respect to the natural filtration.     

Subgradient Projectors: Extensions,Theory, and Characterizations

Subgradient projectors play an important role in optimization and for solving convex feasibility problems. For every locally Lipschitz function, we can define a subgradient projector via generalized subgradients even if the function is not convex. The paper consists of three parts. In the first part, we study basic properties of subgradient projectors and give characterizations when a subgradient projector is a cutter, a local cutter, or a quasi-nonexpansive mapping. We present global and local convergence analyses of subgradent projectors. Many examples are provided to illustrate the theory. In the second part, we investigate the relationship between the subgradient projector of a prox-regular function and the subgradient projector of its Moreau envelope. We also characterize when a mapping is the subgradient projector of a convex function. In the third part, we focus on linearity properties of subgradient projectors. We show that, under appropriate conditions, a linear operator is a subgradient projector of a convex function if and only if it is a convex combination of the identity operator and a projection operator onto a subspace. In general, neither a convex combination nor a composition of subgradient projectors of convex functions is a subgradient projector of a convex function.     

Complex affine distributions

Geometry of affine immersions is the study of hypersurfaces that are invariant under affine transformations. As with the hypersurface theory on the Euclidean space, an affine immersion can induce a torsion-free affine connection and a (pseudo)-Riemannian metric on the hypersurface. Moreover, an affine immersion can induce a statistical manifold, which plays a central role in information geometry. Recently, a statistical manifold with a complex structure is actively studied since it connects information geometry and Kähler geometry. However, a holomorphic complex affine immersion cannot induce such a statistical manifold with a Kähler structure. In this paper, we introduce complex affine distributions, which are non-integrable generalizations of complex affine immersions. We then present the fundamental theorem for a complex affine distribution, and show that a complex affine distribution can induce a statistical manifold with a Kähler structure.
