INJECTIVE MAPS ON PRIMITIVE SEQUENCES OVER Z/（p^e）

Let Z/(pe) be the integer residue ring modulo pe with p an odd prime and integer e ≥ 3. For a sequence (a) over Z/(pe), there is a unique p-adic decomposition (a) = (a)0 (a)1·p … (a)e-1 ·pe-1, where each (a)i can be regarded as a sequence over Z/(p), 0 ≤ i ≤ e - 1. Let f(x) be a primitive polynomial over Z/(pe) and G' (f(x), pe) the set of all primitive sequences generated by f(x) over Z/(pe). For μ(x) ∈ Z/(p)[x] with deg(μ(x)) ≥ 2 and gcd(1 deg(μ(x)),p- 1) = 1,set ψe-1 (x0, x1,…, xe-1) = xe-1·[ μ(xe-2) ηe-3 (x0, x1,…, xe-3)] ηe-2 (x0, x1,…, xe-2),which is a function of e variables over Z/(p). Then the compressing map ψe-1: G'(f(x),pe) → (Z/(p))∞,(a) (→)ψe-1((a)0, (a)1,… ,(a)e-1) is injective. That is, for (a), (b) ∈ G' (f(x), pe), (a) = (b) if and only if ψe - 1 ((a)0, (a)1,… , (a)e - 1) =ψe - 1 ((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1). As for the case of e = 2, similar result is also given. Furthermore, if functions ψe-1 and ψe-1 over Z/(p) are both of the above form and satisfy ψe-1((a)0,(a)1,… ,(a)e-1) = ψe-1((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1) for (a),(b) ∈ G'(f(x),pe), the relations between (a) and (b), ψe-1 and ψe-1 are discussed.

A proximal point algorithm for minimax problems

This paper presents a proximal point algorithm for solving discretel _∞ approximation problems of the form minimize ∥Ax−b∥_∞. Let ε_∞ be a preassigned positive constant and let ε _l ,l = 0,1,2,... be a sequence of positive real numbers such that 0 < ε _l < ε_∞. Then, starting from an arbitrary pointz ₀, the proposed method generates a sequence of points z _l ,l= 0,1,2,..., via the rule . One feature that characterizes this algorithm is its finite termination property. That is, a solution is reached within a finite number of iterations. The smaller are the numbers ε _l the smaller is the number of iterations. In fact, if ε ₀ is sufficiently small then z₁ solves the original minimax problem. The practical value of the proposed iteration depends on the availability of an efficient code for solving a regularized minimax problem of the form minimize where ∈ is a given positive constant. It is shown that the dual of this problem has the form maximize , and ify solves the dual thenx=A ^T y solves the primal. The simple structure of the dual enables us to apply a wide range of methods. In this paper we design and analyze a row relaxation method which is suitable for solving large sparse problems. Numerical experiments illustrate the feasibility of our ideas.     

Certain Ergodic Properties of a Differential System on a Compact Differentiable Manifold

Let M ⁿ be an n-dimensional compact C ^∞-differentiable manifold, n ≥ 2, and let S be a C ¹-differential system on M ⁿ . The system induces a one-parameter C ¹ transformation group φ _t (−∞ < t < ∞) over M ⁿ and, thus, naturally induces a one-parameter transformation group of the tangent bundle of M ⁿ . The aim of this paper, in essence, is to study certain ergodic properties of this latter transformation group. Among various results established in the paper, we mention here only the following, which might describe quite well the nature of our study. (A) Let M be the set of regular points in M ⁿ of the differential system S. With respect to a given C ^∞ Riemannian metric of M ⁿ , we consider the bundle of all (n−2) spheres Q _x ⁿ⁻², x∈M, where Q _x ⁿ⁻² for each x consists of all unit tangent vectors of M ⁿ orthogonal to the trajectory through x. Then, the differential system S gives rise naturally to a one-parameter transformation group ψ _t ^# (−∞<t<∞) of . For an l-frame α = (u ₁, u ₂,⋯, u _l ) of M ⁿ at a point x in M, 1 ≥ l ≥ n−1, each u _i being in , we shall denote the volume of the parallelotope in the tangent space of M ⁿ at x with edges u ₁, u ₂,⋯, u _l by υ(α), and let . This is a continuous real function of t. Let

Let F = Q（√-p1p2） be an imaginary quadratic field with distinct primes p1 = p2 = 1 mod 8 and the Legendre symbol （p1/p2） = 1. Then the 8-rank of the class group of F is equal to 2 if and only Pl if the following conditions hold： （1） The quartic residue symbols （p1/p2）4 = （p2/p1）4 = 1; （2） Either both p1 and p2 are represented by the form a^2 ＋ 32b^2 over Z and p^h2＋（2p1）/4=x^2-2p1y^2,x,y∈Z,or both p1 and p2 are not represented by the form a^2 ＋ 32b^2 over Z and p^h2＋（2p1）/4=ε（2x^2-p1y^2）,x,y∈Z,ε∈{±1},where h＋（2p1） is the narrow class number of Q（√2p1）,Moreover, we also generalize these results.

Asymptotic Expansions of the Heat Kernel of the Laplacian for General Annular Bounded Domains with Robin Boundary Conditions：Further Results

The asymptotic expansions of the trace of the heat kernel θ(t)=∑^∞v=1^exp(-tλv) for small positive t,where {λv} are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△n=-∑^ni=1(D/Dx^1)^2 in R^2(n=2 or 3),are studied for a general annular bounded domain Ω with a smooth inner boundary DΩ1 and a smooth outer boundary DΩ2,where a finite number of piecewise smooth Robin boundary conditions(D/Dnj γh)Ф=0 on the components Гj(j= 1,...,m) of (DΩ1 and on the components Гj (j=k 1,…,m) of of DΩ2 are considered such that DΩl=U^kj=lГj and DΩ2= U^m=k 1Гj and where the coefficients γj(j=1,...,m) are piecewise smooth positive functions.

The Asymptotics of the Two-Dimensional Wave Equation for a General Multi-Connected Vibrating Membrane with Piecewise Smooth Robin Boundary Conditions

The asymptotic expansion for small |t| of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) =∑v=1^∞exp(-it μv^1/2), where i= √-1 and {μv}v=1^∞ are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△=-∑β=1^2(δ/δx^β)^2 in the (x^1, x^2)-plane, is studied for a multi-connected vibrating membrane Ω in R^2 surrounded by simply connected bounded domains Ωj with smooth boundaries δΩj(j=1,...,n), where a finite number of piecewise smooth Robin boundary conditions on the piecewise smooth components Гi(i=1 κj-1,...,κj) of the boundaries δΩj are considered, such that δΩj=∪i=1 κj-1^κj Гi and κ0=0. The basic problem is to extract information on the geometry of Ω using the wave equation approach. Some geometric quantities of Ω (e.g. the area of Ω, the total lengths of its boundary, the curvature of its boundary, the number of the holes of Ω, etc.) are determined from the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) for small |t|.     

Geometry of finite-dimensional normed spaces,and continuous functions on the Euclidean sphere

Let ℝⁿ be the n-dimensional Euclidean space, and let { · } be a norm in Rⁿ. Two lines ℓ₁ and ℓ₂ in ℝⁿ are said to be { · }-orthogonal if their { · }-unit direction vectors e ₁ and e ₂ satisfy {e ₁ + e ₂} = {e ₁ − e ₂}. It is proved that for any two norms { · } and { · }′ in ℝⁿ there are n lines ℓ₁, ..., ℓ_n that are { · }-and { · }′-orthogonal simultaneously.

It is proved that there exists an (n − 1)-cube C centered at O, inscribed in , and such that all sums of values of f at the vertices of (n − 3)-faces of C are pairwise equal. If the function f is even, then there exists an n-cube with the same properties. Furthermore, there exists an orthonormal basis e ₁, ..., e _n such that for 1 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ n we have .

Global Existence of Solutions for the Kawahara Equation in Sobolev Spaces of Negative Indices

We first prove that the Cauchy problem of the Kawahara equation, δtu ＋ uδxu ＋βδx^3u＋γδx^5u = 0, is locally solvable if the initial data belong to H^r（R） and r〉 r≥-7/5, thus improving the known local well-posedness result of this equation. Next we use this local result and the method of ＂almost conservation law＂ to prove that global solutions exist if the initial data belong to H^r（R） and r〉-1/2.

The Hopf algebra Rep U_{q} \widehat{\frak g \frak l}_\infty

We define the Hopf algebra structure on the Grothendieck group of finite-dimensional polynomial representations of in the limitN→∞. The resulting Hopf algebra Rep is a tensor product of its Hopf subalgebras Rep_a ,a ∈ ℂ^×/q^2ℤ. Whenq is generic (resp.,q ² is a primitive root of unity of orderl), we construct an isomorphism between the Hopf algebra Rep _a and the algebra of regular functions on the prounipotent proalgebraic group (resp., ). Whenq is a root of unity, this isomorphism identifies the Hopf subalgebra of Rep _a spanned by the modules obtained by pullback with respect to the Frobenius homomorphism with the algebra generated by the coefficients of the determinant of an element of considered as anl×l matrix over the Taylor series. This gives us an explicit formula for the Frobenius pullbacks of the fundamental representations. In addition, we construct a natural action of the Hall algebra associated to the infinite linear quiver (resp., the cyclic quiver withl vertices) on Rep _a and describe the span of tensor products of evaluation representations taken at fixed points as a module over this Hall algebra.

The Cauchy Problem for the Fifth Order Shallow Water Equation

The local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the fifth order shallow water equation δtu＋αδx^5u＋βδx^3u＋rδxu＋μuδru=0,x,t∈R, is established for low regularity data in Sobolev spaces H^s（s≥-3/8） by the Fourier restriction norm method. Moreover, the global well-posedness for L^2 data follows from the local well-posedness and the conserved quantity. For data in H^s（s〉0）, the global well-posedness is also proved, where the main idea is to use the generalized bilinear estimates associated with the Fourier restriction norm method to prove that the existence time of the solution only depends on the L^2 norm of initial data.
