Decomposition Properties of Hyperspace Topologies

Let X be a T ₁ topological space and a nonempty family of closed subsets of X. We study the hit-and-miss hyperspace topology generated by in terms of its upper and lower parts, focusing on first and second countability and quasi-uniformization. We also obtain some new results on the Vietoris and Fell topologies.     

On the distribution of square-full and cube-full integers

LetN _r (x) be the number ofr-full integers x and let _r (x) be the error term in the asymptotic formula forN _r (x). Under Riemann's hypothesis, we prove the estimates ₂(x)x^1/7+, ₃(x)x^97/804+(>0), which improve those of Cao and Nowak. We also investigate the distribution ofr-full andl-free numbers in short intervals (r=2,3). Our results sharpen Krätzel's estimates.     

Inequalities for Green Functions in a Dini-Jordan Domain in R2

We establish inequalities for Green functions of Dini-smooth Jordan domains in R².We give a version of the 3G theorem for these domains. With the help of these results, we prove comparison theorems between the Green kernel of and the Green kernel of – where is a nonnegative Radon measure.     

Leaves in Representation Diagrams of Bipartite Distance-Regular Graphs

Let denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter D 3 and valency k 3. Let ₀ > ₁ ··· > _D denote the eigenvalues of and let q ^h _ij (0 h, i, j D) denote the Krein parameters of . Pick an integer h (1 h D – 1). The representation diagram = _h is an undirected graph with vertices 0,1,...,D. For 0 i, j D, vertices i, j are adjacent in whenever i j and q ^h _ij 0. It turns out that in , the vertex 0 is adjacent to h and no other vertices. Similarly, the vertex D is adjacent to D – h and no other vertices. We call 0, D the trivial vertices of . Let l denote a vertex of . It turns out that l is adjacent to at least one vertex of . We say l is a leaf whenever l is adjacent to exactly one vertex of . We show has a nontrivial leaf if and only if is the disjoint union of two paths.     

Lattice Polytopes Associated to Certain Demazure Modules of sl n + 1

Let w be an element of the Weyl group of sl _{n + 1}. We prove that for a certain class of elements w (which includes the longest element w₀ of the Weyl group), there exist a lattice polytope R ^l(w) , for each fundamental weight _i of sl _{n + 1}, such that for any dominant weight = _{i = 1} ⁿ a _{i i} , the number of lattice points in the Minkowski sum _w = _{i = 1} ⁿ a _{i i} ^w is equal to the dimension of the Demazure module E _w (). We also define a linear map A ^w : R ^l(w) P _Z R where P denotes the weight lattice, such that char E _w () = e e^–A(x) where the sum runs through the lattice points x of ^w .     

Inequalities in Products of Minors of Totally Nonnegative Matrices

Let _I,I be the minor of a matrix which corresponds to row set I and column set I. We give a characterization of the inequalities of the form _{I,I K,K J,J L,L} which hold for all totally nonnegative matrices. This generalizes a recent result of Fallat, Gekhtman, and Johnson.     

Optimal growth rates for a viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation

The growth of the L^m-norm, m [1,], of non-negative solutions to the Cauchy problem _t u – u = |u| is studied for non-negative initial data decaying at infinity. More precisely, the function is shown to be bounded from above and from below by positive real numbers. This result indicates an asymptotic behaviour dominated by the hyperbolic Hamilton-Jacobi term of the equation. A one-sided estimate for ln u is also established.

Quasianapole Interaction of Charged Fermions

We obtain the analytic expression for the total cross section of the reaction e ^– e ⁺l ^– l ⁺ (l=,) taking possible quasianapole interaction effects into account. We find numerical restrictions on the interaction parameter value from data for the reaction e ^– e ^+–+ in the energy domain below the Z ⁰ peak.

A stationary approach to the existence and completeness of long-range wave operators

The modified wave operators intertwining the Schrödinger operators – and – + V(x), where V(x) is a real long-range potential, are shown to exist and to be complete. The method employed is entirely stationary (time-independent) : One constructs complete stationary wave operators, utilizing a spectral representation (eigenfunction expansion) theory, and then shows that the time-dependent modified wave operators exist and are equal to the stationary ones already constructed.     

Die Dupinschen Zykliden im pseudoeuklidischen Raum

In the pseudoeuclidean space¹ E ³ a surface of degree 3 or 4 is calledDupin-cyclide if there exists a (pseudoeuclidean) torus such that a (pseudoeuclidean) spherical inversion maps upon . If the axis of is respectively space-like, isotropic or time-like is calledDupin-r-,-l- or-z-cyclide. ADupin-cyclide is the envelope of two families of spheres, the caustic surfaces of degenerate in caustic curves and the lines of curvature of constitute two (orthogonal) families of circles.

Positive Solutions for a Singular Nonlinear Problem on a Bounded Domain in R 2

For a bounded regular Jordan domain in R ², we introduce and study a new class of functions K() related on its Green function G. We exploit the properties of this class to prove the existence and the uniqueness of a positive solution for the singular nonlinear elliptic equation u+(x,u)=0, in D(), with u=0 on and uC(), where is a nonnegative Borel measurable function in ×(0,) that belongs to a convex cone which contains, in particular, all functions (x,t)=q(x)t ^–,>0 with nonnegative functions qK(). Some estimates on the solution are also given.     

Existence and construction of Δ1-splines of class Ck on a three-directional mesh

Let ^* be the equilateral triangulation of the plane and let ₁ ^* be the equilateral triangle formed by four triangles of ^*. We study the space of piecewise polynomial functions in C ^k (R ²) with support ₁ ^*, having a sufficiently high degree n and which are invariant with respect to the group of symmetries of ₁ ^*. Such splines are called ₁ ^*-splines. We first compute the dimension of this space in function of n and k. Then, for any fixed k0, we prove the existence of ₁ ^*-splines of class C ^k and minimal degree, but these splines are not unique. Finally, we describe an algorithm computing the Bernstein–Bézier coefficients of these splines.     

A General Decomposition Construction for Incomplete Secret Sharing Schemes

A secret sharing scheme for an incomplete access structure (,) is a method of distributing information about a secret among a group of participants in such a way that sets of participants in can reconstruct the secret and sets of participants in can not obtain any new information about the secret. In this paper we present a more precise definition of secret sharing schemes in terms of information theory, and a new decomposition theorem. This theorem generalizes previous decomposition theorems and also works for a more general class of access structures. We demonstrate some applications of the theorem.     

Partial Results in Δ 3 0 -Categoricity in Linear Orderings and Boolean Algebras

The notion of ₃ ⁰ -categoricity in linear orderings and Boolean algebras is examined. We provide a proof for the fact that there are uncountably many relatively ₃ ⁰ -categorical linear orderings, and furnish a proof of another fact which suggests that the (unrelatively) ₃ ⁰ -categorical linear orderings may be very difficult to classify. In stark contrast to these results for linear orderings, a complete classification of the relatively ₃ ⁰ -categorical Boolean algebras is given.

Suppose further that G is not a 2-group and that p is the least odd prime dividing |G| and move() m for all k-element subsets of . Then either || k + m or k (7m – 5) / 2, || (9m – 3)/2. Moreover when || > k + m, then move() m for every subset of .
