Optimal control of nonlinear evolution inclusions

In this paper, we study the optimal control of nonlinear evolution inclusions. First, we prove the existence of admissible trajectories and then we show that the set that they form is relatively sequentially compact and in certain cases sequentially compact in an appropriate function space. Then, with the help of a convexity hypothesis and using Cesari's approach, we solve a general Lagrange optimal control problem. After that, we drop the convexity hypothesis and pass to the relaxed system, for which we prove the existence of optimal controls, we show that it has a value equal to that of the original one, and also we prove that the original trajectories are dense in an appropriate topology to the relaxed ones. Finally, we present an example of a nonlinear parabolic optimal control that illustrates the applicability of our results.This research was supported by NSF Grant No. DMS-88-02688.     

Exploring an unknown graph

We wish to explore all edges of an unknown directed, strongly connected graph. At each point, we have a map of all nodes and edges we have visited, we can recognize these nodes and edges if we see them again, and we know how many unexplored edges emanate from each node we have visited, but we cannot tell where each leads until we traverse it. We wish to minimize the ratio of the total number of edges traversed divided by the optimum number of traversals, had we known the graph. For Eulerian graphs, this ratio cannot be better than two, and two is achievable by a simple algorithm. In contrast, the ratio is unbounded when the deficiency of the graph (the number of edges that have to be added to make it Eulerian) is unbounded. Our main result is an algorithm that achieves a bounded ratio when the deficiency is bounded. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 32: 265–297, 1999     

Hereditary atomicity in integral domains

If every subring of an integral domain is atomic, we say that the latter is hereditarily atomic. In this paper, we study hereditarily atomic domains. First, we characterize when certain direct limits of Dedekind domains are Dedekind domains in terms of atomic overrings. Then we use this characterization to determine the fields that are hereditarily atomic. On the other hand, we investigate hereditary atomicity in the context of rings of polynomials and rings of Laurent polynomials, characterizing the fields and rings whose rings of polynomials and rings of Laurent polynomials, respectively, are hereditarily atomic. As a result, we obtain two classes of hereditarily atomic domains that cannot be embedded into any hereditarily atomic field. By contrast, we show that rings of power series are never hereditarily atomic. Finally, we make some progress on the still open question of whether every subring of a hereditarily atomic domain satisfies ACCP.     

Asymptotic behaviour of a closed‐loop thermosyphon with linear friction and viscoelastic binary fluid

Viscoelastic fluids represent a major challenge both from an engineering and from a mathematical point of view. Recently, we have shown that viscoelasticity induces chaos in closed‐loop thermosyphons even when we consider binary fluids, this is, when we consider a solute in the fluid, as water and antifreezes, for example. In this work, we consider a linear friction law, and we show that in this case with the addition of a solute to the fluid we can prove, under some conditions, chaotic asymptotic behavior for suitable geometry of the circuit and heat flux or ambient temperature functions.     

On intermediate inquisitive and dependence logics: An algebraic study

This article provides an algebraic study of intermediate inquisitive and dependence logics. While these logics are usually investigated using team semantics, here we introduce an alternative algebraic semantics and we prove it is complete for all intermediate inquisitive and dependence logics. To this end, we define inquisitive and dependence algebras and we investigate their model-theoretic properties. We then focus on finite, core-generated, well-connected inquisitive and dependence algebras: we show they witness the validity of formulas true in inquisitive algebras, and of formulas true in well-connected dependence algebras. Finally, we obtain representation theorems for finite, core-generated, well-connected, inquisitive and dependence algebras and we prove some results connecting team and algebraic semantics.     

Forecasting the integration of immigrants

In this research, we develop and introduce a theoretical and mathematical forecasting framework of immigrant integration using immigrant density as a single driver. First, we introduce the integration concepts we aim at forecasting. Thereafter, we introduce a theoretical and mathematical model of the relationship between integration and immigrant density. Based on this model, we develop a methodological forecasting framework. We test the framework using immigrant integration data from Spain. We produce the forecasts, and conduct the proper evaluation of them. Finally, we conclude with a brief discussion of the wider implications of our results.     

Nonlinear elliptic differential equations with multivalued nonlinearities

In this paper we study nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems with monotone and nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearities. First we consider the case of monotone nonlinearities. In the first result we assume that the multivalued nonlinearity is defined on all ℝ. Assuming the existence of an upper and of a lower solution, we prove the existence of a solution between them. Also for a special version of the problem, we prove the existence of extremal solutions in the order interval formed by the upper and lower solutions. Then we drop the requirement that the monotone nonlinearity is defined on all of ℝ. This case is important because it covers variational inequalities. Using the theory of operators of monotone type we show that the problem has a solution. Finally in the last part we consider an eigenvalue problem with a nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearity. Using the critical point theory for nonsmooth locally Lipschitz functionals we prove the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions (multiplicity theorem).

A conjecture on bipartite graphical regular representations

In this paper we are concerned with the classification of the finite groups admitting a bipartite DRR and a bipartite GRR.First, we find a natural obstruction that prevents a finite group from admitting a bipartite GRR. Then we give a complete classification of the finite groups satisfying this natural obstruction and hence not admitting a bipartite GRR. Based on these results and on some extensive computer computations, we state a conjecture aiming to give a complete classification of the finite groups admitting a bipartite GRR.Next, we prove the existence of bipartite DRRs for most of the finite groups not admitting a bipartite GRR found in this paper. Actually, we prove a much stronger result: we give an asymptotic enumeration of the bipartite DRRs over these groups. Again, based on these results and on some extensive computer computations, we state a conjecture aiming to give a complete classification of the finite groups admitting a bipartite DRR.     

Orderings and Probability Functionals Consistent with Preferences

This paper unifies the classical theory of stochastic dominance and investor preferences with the recent literature on risk measures applied to the choice problem faced by investors. First, we summarize the main stochastic dominance rules used in the finance literature. Then we discuss the connection with the theory of integral stochastic orders and we introduce orderings consistent with investors' preferences. Thus, we classify them, distinguishing several categories of orderings associated with different classes of investors. Finally, we show how we can use risk measures and orderings consistent with some preferences to determine the investors' optimal choices.
