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.     

Two questions on semi-clean group rings

It was proved in [4] that every group ring of a torsion abelian group over a commutative local ring is a semi-clean ring. It was asked in [4] whether every group ring of a torsion abelian group over a commutative clean ring is a semi-clean ring and whether every group ring of a torsion abelian group over a commutative semi-clean ring is a semi-clean ring. In this paper, we give a positive answer to question 1 and a negative answer to question 2.     

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.     

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.

     

Inventory replenishment model: lot sizing versus just-in-time delivery

Motivated by a practical industrial problem where a manufacturer stipulates a minimum order from each buyer but where a local dealer promises the buyer a just-in-time delivery with a slightly higher unit cost, this paper uses a dynamic lot-sizing model with a stepwise cargo cost function and a minimum order amount constraint to help the buyer select the supplier with minimum total cost.     

A pair of orthogonal frames

We start with a characterization of a pair of frames to be orthogonal in a shift-invariant space and then give a simple construction of a pair of orthogonal shift-invariant frames. This is applied to obtain a construction of a pair of Gabor orthogonal frames as an example. This is also developed further to obtain constructions of a pair of orthogonal wavelet frames.     

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.     

Lifting Property of Direct Sums of Hollow Modules

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a module M with a decomposition that complements maximal direct summands to be a lifting module. We apply our results to get a necessary and sufficient condition for a direct sum of modules to be a quasi-discrete (discrete) module. We also give some sufficient conditions for a lifting module to be a direct sum of indecomposables.     

覆盖数不超过3的图上渡河问题

1000多年前,英国著名学者Alcuin曾提出一个古老的渡河问题,即狼、羊和卷心菜的渡河问题。2006年,Prisner把该问题推广到任意的冲突图上,考虑了一类情况更一般的渡河运输问题。所谓冲突图是指一个图G=(V,E),这里V代表某些物品的集合,V中的两个点有边连结当且仅当这两个点是冲突的,即在无人监管的情况下不允许留在一起的点。图G=(V,E)的一个可行运输方案是指在保证不发生任何冲突的前提下,把V的点所代表的物品全部摆渡到河对岸的一个运输方案。图G的Alcuin数定义为它存在可行运输方案时所需船的最小容量。本文讨论了覆盖数不超过3的连通图的Alcuin数,给出了该类图Alcuin数的完全刻画。     

New parameters of subsets in polynomial association schemes

We define new parameters, a zero interval and a dual zero interval, of subsets in P- or Q-polynomial association schemes. A zero interval of a subset in a P-polynomial association scheme is a successive interval index for which the inner distribution vanishes, and a dual zero interval of a subset in a Q-polynomial association scheme is a successive interval index for which the dual inner distribution vanishes. We derive bounds of the lengths of a zero interval and a dual zero interval using the degree and dual degree respectively, and show that a subset in a P-polynomial association scheme (resp. a Q-polynomial association scheme) having a large length of a zero interval (resp. a dual zero interval) induces a completely regular code (resp. a Q-polynomial association scheme). Moreover, we consider the spherical analogue of a dual zero interval.

A Decomposition of Markov Processes via Group Actions

We study a decomposition of a general Markov process in a manifold invariant under a Lie group action into a radial part (transversal to orbits) and an angular part (along an orbit). We show that given a radial path, the conditioned angular part is a nonhomogeneous Lévy process in a homogeneous space, we obtain a representation of such processes and, as a consequence, we extend the well-known skew-product of Euclidean Brownian motion to a general setting.

Contractibility and Connectedness of Efficient Point Sets

Using the technique of space theory and set-valued analysis, we establish contractibility results for efficient point sets in a locally convex space and a path connectedness result for a positive proper efficient point set in a reflexive space. We also prove a connectedness result for a positive proper efficient point set in a locally convex space; as an application, we give a connectedness result for an efficient solution set in a locally convex space.     

An algebraic index theorem for orbifolds

Using the concept of a twisted trace density on a cyclic groupoid, a trace is constructed on a formal deformation quantization of a symplectic orbifold. An algebraic index theorem for orbifolds follows as a consequence of a local Riemann-Roch theorem for such densities. In the case of a reduced orbifold, this proves a conjecture by Fedosov, Schulze, and Tarkhanov. Finally, it is shown how the Kawasaki index theorem for elliptic operators on orbifolds follows from this algebraic index theorem.     

Scalarization of Henig Proper Efficient Points in a Normed Space

In a general normed space equipped with the order induced by a closed convex cone with a base, using a family of continuous monotone Minkowski functionals and a family of continuous norms, we obtain scalar characterizations of Henig proper efficient points of a general set and a bounded set, respectively. Moreover, we give a scalar characterization of a superefficient point of a set in a normed space equipped with the order induced by a closed convex cone with a bounded base.     

Pricing a stochastic car value depreciation deal

This paper deals with pricing a contract under which a dealer buys back a car from a client, for a cash amount contained in a given depreciation table. The value of the car is supposed to depreciate according to a stochastic model with random repairs modeled by a Poisson process. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Separately normal maps

It is shown that a separately normal map is holomorphic and a separately normal family which is separately uniformly normal is a normal family extending a result by Barth that a separately holomorphic map into hyperbolic spaces is holomorphic and a separately normal family of maps into hyperbolic spaces is a normal family.
