Relation between Different Types of Global Attractors of Set-Valued Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

The article is devoted to the study of the relation between forward and pullback attractors of set-valued nonautonomous dynamical systems (cocycles). Here it is proved that every compact global forward attractor is also a pullback attractor of the set-valued nonautonomous dynamical system. The inverse statement, generally speaking, is not true, but we prove that every global pullback attractor of an α-condensing set-valued cocycle is always a local forward attractor. The obtained general results are applied while studying periodic and homogeneous systems. We give also a new criterion of the absolute asymptotic stability of nonstationary discrete linear inclusions.

A Class of Operator Equations in Nonlinear Mechanics

A nonlinear evolution equation in Hilbert space is introduced and is shown to govern a broad class of problems of nonlinear solid mechanics. The simplest oscillations of this equation are described by a “generalized Liénard equation.”

L-functions of second-order cusp forms

We discuss equivalent definitions of holomorphic second-order cusp forms and prove bounds on their Fourier coefficients. We also introduce their associated L-functions, prove functional equations for twisted versions of these L-functions and establish a criterion for a Dirichlet series to originate from a second order form. In the last section we investigate the effect of adding an assumption of periodicity to this criterion. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary—11F12, 11F66 G.

From Klein to Painleve Via Fourier, Laplace and Jimbo

We describe a method for constructing explicit algebraic solutionsto the sixth Painlevé equation, generalising that ofDubrovin and Mazzocco. There are basically two steps. Firstwe explain how to construct finite braid group orbits of triplesof elements of SL₂(C) out of triples of generators of three-dimensionalcomplex reflection groups. (This involves the Fourier–Laplacetransform for certain irregular connections.) Then we adapta result of Jimbo to produce the Painlevé VI solutions.(In particular, this solves a Riemann–Hilbert problemexplicitly.) Each step is illustrated using the complex reflection groupassociated to Klein's simple group of order 168. This leadsto a new algebraic solution with seven branches. We also provethat, unlike the algebraic solutions of Dubrovin and Mazzoccoand Hitchin, this solution is not equivalent to any solutioncoming from a finite subgroup of SL₂(C). The results of this paper also yield a simple proof of a recenttheorem of Inaba, Iwasaki and Saito on the action of Okamoto'saffine D₄ symmetry group as well as the correct connection formulaefor generic Painlevé VI equations. 2000 Mathematics SubjectClassification 34M55, 34M40, 20F55.     

On the Non-Existence of the Closed Orbit for a Liénard System

A sufficient condition for a Liénard system to have no non-trivial closed orbits is given by transforming the system into another system called the Bogdanov—Takens system. The result here (Theorem 2) is a partial improvement of that of Wang and Yu [2].AMS Subject Classification (2000), 34C07, 34C25, 34C26, 34D20     

Nonnormality and stochastic differential equations

A highly nonnormal Jacobian may give rise to large transients. This behaviour has been shown to have implications for (a) the relevance of linearising a nonlinear system and (b) the timestep restrictions required to keep a numerical method stable. Here, we show that nonnormality also manifests itself for stochastic differential equations. We give an example of a family of systems that is stable without noise, but can be made exponentially unstable in mean-square by a noise perturbation that shrinks to zero as the nonnormality increases. We then show via finite-time convergence theory that an Euler approximation shares the same property, giving a discrete analogue of the result.

Connections between projective geometry and superassociative algebra

This paper establishes a connection between projective geometry and the superassociative algebra of multiplace functions. In Part I a quaternary operation is defined for the points on a line j in a projective plane π relative to a fixed quadrangle and the result of operating on A,B,C,D is denoted by A(B,C,D). It is shown that π is a Pappus plane if and only if this operation is superassociative: (A(B,C,D))(E,F,G)=A(B(E,F,G),C(E,F,G),D(E,F,G)) for any points A,B,C,D,E,F,G on j. Desargues and certain special Desargues planes are also characterized by restrictions of the superassociative law. In Part II projective geometry is developed over superassociative systems.

A counterexample to the odd 2–factored snarks conjecture

A snark is a cubic cyclically 4–edge connected graph with edge chromatic number four and girth at least five. We say that a graph G is odd 2–factored if for each 2–factor F of G each cycle of F is odd. In this extended abstract, we present a method for constructing odd 2–factored snarks. In particular, we construct two families of odd 2–factored snarks of order 26 and 34 that disprove a previous conjecture by some of the authors.     

An equivalence canonical form of a matrix triplet over an arbitrary division ring with applications

We in this paper give a decomposition concerning the general matrix triplet over an arbitrary divisionring F with the same row or column numbers. We also design a practical algorithm for the decomposition of thematrix triplet.

Riemannsche Arealstrukturen und multiquadratische Formen

It is well known (and rather trivial to prove) that the square F² of a Finsler norm F:TM on a differentiable manifold M is differentiable at the zero section if and only if F is the norm function of a Riemannian metric. However, the corresponding question for a general p-areal on M is far less trivial to settle and leads to interesting algebraic and combinatorial problems concerning multiquadratic forms. For p=2, the results are closely related to known properties of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric.     

Closed Range Composition Operators on a General Family of Function Spaces

In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed range composition operator C_φ on the general family of holomorphic function spaces F( p, q, s) and more generally on α-Besov type spaces F( p, αp-2, s) are given. We give a Carleson measure characterization on F( p, α p-2, s) spaces, then we indicate how Carleson measures can be used to characterize boundedness and compactness of C_φ on F( p, q, s) and F( p, αp-2, s) spaces.

Sui potenziali elettromagnetici per alcuni modelli di isteresi magnetica

Summary In this paper we study electromagnetic potentials (free energy and enthalpy) for some simple models of ferromagnetic materials exhibiting hysteresis loops and obeying constitutive equations of rate type (1), (34).For the sake of simplicity, mechanical and electric effects are ignored and isothermal conditions are assumed. Involving thermodynamic arguments of Coleman and Owen [1]we show the existence of a convex set of lower-potentials whose minimum, and maximum elements are explicitly constructed as functions of state. Finally, some problems on state-space representation and convexity of various lower-potentials are discussed.

Diffusion approximation for slow motion in fully coupled averaging

In systems which combine fast and slow motions it is usually impossible to study directly corresponding two scale equations and the averaging principle suggests to approximate the slow motion by averaging in fast variables. We consider the averaging setup when both fast and slow motions are diffusion processes depending on each other (fully coupled) and show that there exists a diffusion process which approximates the slow motion in the $L^2$ sense much better than the averaged motion prescribed by the averaging principle.The authors are partially supported by INTAS, project No. 99-00559 and by US-Israel BSF, respectively.
