From the neutrino to the edge of the universe

Two recent findings necessitate a closer look at the existing standard models of particle physics and cosmology. These are the discovery of neutrino oscillation, and hence a non-zero mass on the one hand and, on the other, observations of distant supernovae which indicate that contrary to popular belief, the universe would continue to expand for ever, possibly accelerating in the process. In this paper it is pointed out that relatively recent studies which indicate a stochastic, quantum vacuum underpinning and a fractal structure for space time, reconcile both of the recent observations, harmoniously.

On the comparison between the APV and the NPV computed via the WACC

The valuation of levered investment in the practice is made with the WACC approach, even if the superior technique of the APV is available. The paper shows that the APV can be interpreted as the arbitrage free value of the portfolio made by an investment and a supporting loan. Therefore the WACC evaluation, generally different from the APV, allows for arbitrage. We provide various conditions which completely characterize the sign of the error as a functions of all the variables entering the model.     

On choosing the location of the sources in the MFS

The satisfactory location for the sources outside the closure of the domain of the problem under consideration remains one of the major issues in the application of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS). In this work we investigate this issue by means of two algorithms, one based on the satisfaction of the boundary conditions and one based on the leave-one-out cross validation algorithm. By applying these algorithms to several numerical examples for the Laplace and biharmonic equations in a variety of geometries in two and three dimensions, we obtain locations of the sources which lead to highly accurate results, at a relatively low cost.

On the Gap in the Spectrum of the Translations

The spectrum of the translations in local quantum field theory will be analyzed in order to show that in a positive energy representation without vacuum vector and with lowest mass m₁ there is no gap in the spectrum which is larger than 2m₁. In particular in a zero mass representation there is no hole at all. These results are obtained with methods of analytic functions of several complex variables.     

On the dependence of the growth rate on the length of the defining relator

Let { } be a sequence of finitely presented groups with generating setA={a1, …, am}, and letRk be the symmetrized set of words over the alphabetA∪A−1 obtained from the defining words and their inverses by all cyclic shifts. We shall assume that the words inRk are cyclically irreducible, and their lengths tend to ∞ ask increases. In the paper, it is proved that ifRk satisfies the small cancellation conditionC'(1/6) and the number of relators increases not very rapidly with increasingk, then the growth rate ψ(Gk) tends to 2m−1 ask→∞.

Estimation of the measure of the image of the ball

Under study is the class of ring Q-homeomorphisms with respect to the p-module. We establish a criterion for a function to belong to the class and solve a problem that stems from M. A. Lavrentiev [1] on the estimation of the measure of the image of the ball under these mappings. We also address the asymptotic behavior of these mappings at a point.     

On the determination of the coefficients in the viscoelasticity equations

For the integrodifferential viscoelasticity equations, we study the problem of determining the coefficients of the equations and the kernels occurring in the integral terms of the system of equations. The density of the medium is assumed to be given. We suppose that the inhomogeneity support of the sought functions is included in some compact domain B ₀. We consider a series of inverse problems in which an impulse source is concentrated at the points y of the boundary of B ₀. The point y is the parameter of the problem. The given information about the solution is the trace of the solution to the Cauchy problem with zero initial data. This trace is given on the boundary of B ₀ for all y ∈ ?B ₀ and for a finite time interval. The main result of the article consists in obtaining uniqueness theorems for a solution to the initial inverse problem.     

On the relation between the A-polynomial and the Jones polynomial

This paper shows that the noncommutative generalization of the A-polynomial of a knot, defined using Kauffman bracket skein modules, together with finitely many colored Jones polynomials, determines the remaining colored Jones polynomials of the knot. It also shows that under certain conditions, satisfied for example by the unknot and the trefoil knot, the noncommutative generalization of the A-polynomial determines all colored Jones polynomials of the knot.

     

On the Routh-Hurwitz-Fujiwara and the Schur-Cohn-Fujiwara theorems for the root-separation problem

In this paper, we give simple and elementary proofs of the two classical results of Fujiwara on the solution of the well-known Routh-Hurwitz and Schur-Cohn problems. We show that the Fujiwara matrix in each case satisfies a Lyapunov-type equation and then obtain Fujiwara's results by applying to this matrix equation some recent results on the inertia of matrices. These alternative proofs of Fujiwara's results thus establish a link between two apparently different approaches to the solution of the root-separation problem: the classical method of solution via quadratic forms, and the solution via matrix equations.     

HIV-1的表型间变异与免疫因子相互作用的动力学模型

该文建立了一个描述两种不同的 HIV-1 表型与细胞因子相互作用的动力学模型. 作者用K_m单调系统理论研究了 HIV-1 中两种不同表型:噬巨嗜细胞型 (NSI) 和嗜淋巴细胞型 (SI) 与两种在HIV感染过程中的重要指标性细胞因子:IL-2 和 CAF的发展趋势. 在 HIV-1 感染过程中,两种细胞表型与两种细胞因子之间形成了一种负反馈环. 用 Hill 函数表达这种负反馈作用. 结果表明模型的平衡态的数量为奇数个,它们之间满足一种K_m 偏序,并且第奇数个平衡态是渐近稳定的,而第偶数平衡态是不稳定的. 此外还得到了各个平衡态的吸引域. 其生物学的意义为:即使系统存在较低水平的平衡态, 感染后的病毒载量仍会趋向于一个较高的水平. 这个结论和临床研究的发现是一致的.     

On the maximum deviation between the histogram and the underlying density

Summary The limiting joint distribution of the location and size of the maximum deviation between the historgram and the underlying density is derived. For smooth densities, the location and size of the maximum are asymptotically independent. The size has a limiting double-exponential distribution and the location has a limiting normal distribution.Research partially supported by NSF grant MCS-80-02535Research partially supported by NSF grant MCS-77-16974

On the rational approximation of the sum of the reciprocals of the Fermat numbers

Let $\mathcal{G}(z):=\sum_{n\geqslant0} z^{2^{n}}(1-z^{2^{n}})^{-1}$ denote the generating function of the ruler function, and $\mathcal {F}(z):=\sum_{n\geqslant} z^{2^{n}}(1+z^{2^{n}})^{-1}$ ; note that the special value $\mathcal{F}(1/2)$ is the sum of the reciprocals of the Fermat numbers $F_{n}:=2^{2^{n}}+1$ . The functions $\mathcal{F}(z)$ and $\mathcal{G}(z)$ as well as their special values have been studied by Mahler, Golomb, Schwarz, and Duverney; it is known that the numbers $\mathcal {F}(\alpha)$ and $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$ are transcendental for all algebraic numbers α which satisfy 0<α<1. For a sequence u, denote the Hankel matrix $H_{n}^{p}(\mathbf {u}):=(u({p+i+j-2}))_{1\leqslant i,j\leqslant n}$ . Let α be a real number. The irrationality exponent μ(α) is defined as the supremum of the set of real numbers μ such that the inequality |α?p/q|<q ^?μ has infinitely many solutions (p,q)∈?×?. In this paper, we first prove that the determinants of $H_{n}^{1}(\mathbf {g})$ and $H_{n}^{1}(\mathbf{f})$ are nonzero for every n?1. We then use this result to prove that for b?2 the irrationality exponents $\mu(\mathcal{F}(1/b))$ and $\mu(\mathcal{G}(1/b))$ are equal to 2; in particular, the irrationality exponent of the sum of the reciprocals of the Fermat numbers is 2.     

The numerical analysis of the influence of the blankholder force and the friction coefficient on the value of the drawing force

In this paper the numerical analysis of the drawing process with the blankholder is presented. The influence of the value of the blankholder force on the value of the drawing force and drawpiece height is examined. A different friction coefficient of the sheet metal for die and blankholder is considered. A defect at the lack of the blankholder is presented. The analysis in the system ANSYS/LS-DYNA is passed. The material model with the mixed hardening, isotropic and isothermal is used. Technological parameters of the sheet-metal to drawing, the die, the stamp and the blankholder from the literatures are chosen. Examples results of computer simulations are presented.
