Asymptotic Behavior of Renormalization Constants in Higher Orders of the Perturbation Expansion for the (4−∈)-Dimensionally Regularized O(n)-Symmetric φ4 Theory

Higher-order asymptotic expansions for renormalization constants and critical exponents of the O(n)-symmetric ⁴ theory are found based on the instanton approach in the minimal subtraction scheme for the (4–)-dimensional regularization. The exactly known expansion terms differ substantially from their asymptotic values. We find expressions that improve the asymptotic expansions for unknown expansion terms of the renormalization constants.     

Modified critical behavior in the ϕ4(O n ) model

In the standard ⁴(O _n ) model, a critical regime in which the coupling constantg of the ⁴ decreases as a certain given power as T-T _c0 is considered. From the point of view of physics, such a formulation of the problem corresponds to a certain class of trajectories of approach to the triple point in the two-dimensional plane of the physical parameters of the system. It is shown that in such a modified critical regime all the critical dimensions can be expressed in terms of the specified value of the exponent and the ordinary critical dimensions of the ⁴ model known in the form of 4- expansions.Leningrad State University.

On the (n − 2)-transversals of n convex subsets of the plane

In this paper we consider families of distinct ovals in the plane, with the property that certain subfamilies have stabbing lines (transversals). Our main result says that if any k member of the family can be stabbed by a line avoiding all the other ovals and k is large enough, then the family consists of at most k+1 ovals. For any n4 we show a family of n ovals, whose n–2 element subfamilies have, but the n–1 element subfamilies do not have, transversals.     

One-Dimensional P-Algorithm with Convergence Rate O(n−3+δ) for Smooth Functions

Algorithms based on statistical models compete favorably with other global optimization algorithms as shown by extensive testing results. A theoretical inadequacy of previously used statistical models for smooth objective functions was eliminated by the authors who, in a recent paper, have constructed a P-algorithm for a statistical model for smooth functions. In the present paper, a modification of that P-algorithm with an improved convergence rate is described.     

On the Behavior of Solutions of x n+1 = p+(x n−1/xn )

Our goal in this article is to complete the study of the behavior of solutions of the equation in the title when the parameter p is positive and the initial conditions are arbitrary positive numbers. Our main focus is the case 0 < p < 1. We will show that in this case, all solutions which do not monotonically converge to the equilibrium have a subsequence which converges to p and a subsequence which diverges to infinity. For the sake of completeness, we will also present the results (which were previously known) with alternative proofs for the case p = 1 and the case p > 1.

The Asymptotic Behavior of the Stochastic Nonlinear Schr(o)dinger Equation With Multiplicative Noise

The nonlinear Schr(o)dinger equation is one of the basic models for nonlinear waves. In some circumstances, randomness has to be taken into account and it often occurs through a random potential. Here, we consider the following equation     

Sections of U(2n)/Sp(s) over S4n−1

We describe the sections of U(2n)/Sp(s) over S⁴ⁿ⁻¹ in terms of the sections of the symplectic Stiefel manifold Sp(n)/Sp(s) and we express the orders of obstructions to sectioning U(2n)/Sp(s) in terms of orders of obstructions to sectioning Sp(n)/Sp(s). In certain cases we give the exact values of these orders.     

Representation of Renormalization Group Functions By Nonsingular Integrals in a Model of the Critical Dynamics of Ferromagnets: The Fourth Order of The ε-Expansion

Using the representation for renormalization group functions in terms of nonsingular integrals, we calculate the dynamical critical exponents in the model of critical dynamics of ferromagnets in the fourth order of the ε-expansion. We calculate the Feynman diagrams using the sector decomposition technique generalized to critical dynamics problems.     

Skew-symmetric association schemes with two classes and strongly regular graphs of type L 2n−1(4n−1)

A construction of a pair of strongly regular graphs ⁿ and ⁿ of type L _2n–1(4n–1) from a pair of skew-symmetric association schemes W, W of order 4n–1 is presented. Examples of graphs with the same parameters as ⁿ and ⁿ, i.e., of type L _2n–1(4n–1), were known only if 4n–1=p ³, where p is a prime. The first new graph appearing in the series has parameters (v, k, )=(225, 98, 45). A 4-vertex condition for relations of a skew-symmetric association scheme (very similar to one for the strongly regular graphs) is introduced and is proved to hold in any case. This has allowed us to check the 4-vertex condition for ⁿ and ⁿ, thus to prove that ⁿ and ⁿ are not rank three graphs if n>2.     

Two stochastic models of a random walk in the U(n)-spherical duals of U(n + 1)

The random walk to be considered takes place in the δ-spherical dual of the group U(n + 1), for a fixed finite dimensional irreducible representation δ of U(n). The transition matrix comes from the three-term recursion relation satisfied by a sequence of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials built up from the irreducible spherical functions of type δ of SU(n + 1). One of the stochastic models is an urn model and the other is a Young diagram model.

Maximal subalgebras of rank n −1 of the algebra AP(1, n) and reduction of nonlinear wave equations. I

The concept of canonical decomposition of an arbitrary subalgebra of the algebraAO(1,n) is introduced. With the help of this decomposition all maximal subalgebras L of rankn–1 of the algebraAP(1,n), satisfying the conditionL V=1,...;P _n>, whereV=<P ₀,P ₁,...,P ₁> is the space of translation are described.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 11, pp. 1552–1559, November, 1990.     

Regularity and explicit representation of (0,1,...,m−2,m) interpolation on the zeros of (1−x 2)P n −2/(α,β) (x)

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity andq-regularity of (0,1,...,m–2,m) interpolation on the zeros of (1–x ²)P _n ^–2/(,) (x) (,>–1) in a manageable form are established, whereP _n ^–2/(,) (x) stands for the (n–2)th Jacobi polynomial. Meanwhile, the explicit representation of the fundamental polynomials, when they exist, is given. Moreover, we show that under a mild assumption if the problem of (0,1,...,m–2,m) interpolation has an infinity of solutions then the general form of the solutions isf ₀(x)+C f(x) with an arbitrary constantC.This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
