Quasi‐Lipschitz condition in potential theory

The velocity of an incompressible flow in a bounded three‐dimensional domain is represented by its vorticity with the help of an apparently new representation formula. Using this formula we prove a quasi‐Lipschitz estimate for in dependence of the supremum norm of . Our quasi‐Lipschitz bound extends to the case where is represented by any continuous ≠ rot     

Computation of efficient targets in DEA models with production trade-offs and weight restrictions

Recently new models of data envelopment analysis (DEA) were introduced that incorporate production trade-offs between inputs and outputs or based on them weight restrictions. In this paper, we develop a computational procedure suitable for the practical application of such models. We show that the standard two-stage optimisation procedure used in DEA to test the full efficiency of units and identify their efficient targets may work incorrectly in the new models. The modified procedure consists of three stages: the first evaluates the radial efficiency of the unit, the second identifies its efficient target, and the third its reference set of efficient peers. Each stage requires solving one linear program for each unit.     

Stability of a 4th-order curvature condition arising in optimal transport theory

A certain curvature condition, introduced by Ma, Trudinger and Wang in relation with the regularity of optimal transport, is shown to be stable under Gromov-Hausdorff limits, even though the condition implicitly involves fourth order derivatives of the Riemannian metric. Two lines of reasoning are presented with slightly different assumptions, one purely geometric, and another one combining geometry and probability. Then a converse problem is studied: prove some partial regularity for the optimal transport on a perturbation of a Riemannian manifold satisfying a strong form of the Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition.     

Fan-type condition on disjoint cycles in a graph

Let $k$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we prove that for a graph $G$ with at least $4k$ vertices, if max$\{d\left(x\right),d\left(y\right)\}\ge 2k$ for any pair of nonadjacent vertices $\{x,y\}?V\left(G\right)$, then $G$ contains $k$ disjoint cycles. This generalizes the results given by Corrá di and Hajnal (1963), Enomoto (1998), and Wang (1999).     

Kolmogorov condition near hyperbolic singularities of integrable Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we show that, if an integrable Hamiltonian system admits a nondegenerate hyperbolic singularity then it will satisfy the Kolmogorov condegeneracy condition near that singularity (under a mild additional condition, which is trivial if the singularity contains a fixed point).      

Locally nilpotent linear groups with restrictions on their subgroups of infinite central dimension

Let F be a field and V a vector space over F. If G is a subgroup of GL(V, F), then we define the central dimension of G (denoted by centdim _F G) as the F-dimension of the factor-space V/C _V (G). In this paper, we continue the study of locally nilpotent linear groups satisfying the weak minimal or the weak maximal condition on their subgroups of infinite central dimension started in Kurdachenko et al. (Publ Mat 52:151–169, 2008). Supported by Proyecto MTM2007-60994 of Dirección General de Investigación MEC (Spain).     

Some general theorems on the explicit evaluations of Ramanujan''s cubic continued fraction

In 2001, Jinhee Yi found many explicit values of the famous Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction by using modular equations and transformation formulas for theta-functions. In this paper, we use her method to find some general theorems for the explicit evaluations of Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction.     

An analogue of continued fractions in number theory for Nevanlinna theory

We show an analogue of continued fractions in approximation to irrational numbers by rationals for Nevanlinna theory. The analogue is a sequence of points in the complex plane which approaches a given finite set of points and at a given rate in the sense of Nevanlinna theory.

Mixed volume techniques for embeddings of Laman graphs

Determining the number of embeddings of Laman graph frameworks is an open problem which corresponds to understanding the solutions of the resulting systems of equations. In this paper we investigate the bounds which can be obtained from the viewpoint of Bernstein's Theorem. The focus of the paper is to provide methods to study the mixed volume of suitable systems of polynomial equations obtained from the edge length constraints. While in most cases the resulting bounds are weaker than the best known bounds on the number of embeddings, for some classes of graphs the bounds are tight.

A mathematical model describing the bubble growth in nucleate boiling is proposed based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Numerical simulation of the bubble growth process is performed. Some new arguments are suggested to explain the phenomenon which are distinct from the existing articles. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Shape derivative of the volume integral operator in electromagnetic scattering by homogeneous bodies

We study the shape derivative of the strongly singular volume integral operator that describes time‐harmonic electromagnetic scattering from homogeneous medium. We show the existence and a representation of the derivative, and we deduce a characterization of the shape derivative of the solution to the diffraction problem as a solution to a volume integral equation of the second kind.

Gas-dynamic equations for spatially inhomogeneous gas mixtures with internal degrees of freedom. I. General theory

A general algorithm for building a uniform asymptotic solution of the kinetic equations for spatially inhomogeneous reactive gas mixtures is proposed. It solves the problem of irregular asymptotic solution arising in the ordinary Chapman–Enskog method, providing expressions for chemical reaction rates that agree with the mono-molecular reaction theory. We study a quasi-stationary behavior of the system, characterized by the slowly varying gas-dynamic variables which number is greater than the number of integral invariants of the collision operator. The gas-dynamic equations for reacting and relaxing gas mixtures are derived in general form. It is shown that accurate treatment of non-equilibrium processes gives rise to additional terms caused by the strong influence of small perturbations of quasi-equilibrium distribution functions on the kinetics of high-threshold physical and chemical processes. These terms are describing the influence of inelastic collisions, expansion/compression processes and spatial non-uniformity of gas-dynamic variables.

A criterion for the explicit reconstruction of a holomorphic function from its restrictions on lines

We deal with a problem of the explicit reconstruction of any holomorphic function f   on a ball of C²${\mathbb{C}}^2$ from its restrictions on a union of complex lines. The validity of such a reconstruction essentially depends on the mutual repartition of these lines. This criterion can be analytically described and it is also possible to give geometrical sufficient conditions. The motivation of this problem also comes from possible applications in mathematical economics and medical imaging.     

Modeling dependence based on mixture copulas and its application in risk management

This paper is concerned with the statistical modeling of the dependence structure of multivariate financial data using the copula, and the application of copula functions in VaR valuation. After the introduction of the pure copula method and the maximum and minimum mixture copula method, authors present a new algorithm based on the more generalized mixture copula functions and the dependence measure, and apply the method to the portfolio of Shanghai stock composite index and Shenzhen stock component index. Comparing with the results from various methods, one can find that the mixture copula method is better than the pure Gaussian copula method and the maximum and minimum mixture copula method on different VaR level.     

Exponential stability in the theory of thermoelastic diffusion mixtures

In this article, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the one-dimensional initial-boundary value problem in the linear theory of thermoelastic diffusion mixtures recently developed by Aouadi [M. Aouadi, Qualitative results in the theory of thermoelastic diffusion mixtures, J. Thermal Stresses 33 (2010), pp. 595–615]. Our main result is to establish the necessary and sufficient conditions over the coefficients of the system to get the exponential stability of the corresponding semigroup.
