CHARACTERIZATIONS OF JORDAN (?)-SKEW MULTIPLICATIVE MAPS ON OPERATOR ALGEBRAS OF INDEFINITE INNER PRODUCT SPACES

Let H and K be indefinite inner product spaces. This paper shows that a bijective map φ:B(H)→B(K) satisfies φ(AB B A) =φ(A)φ(5) φ(B) φ(A) for every pair A,B ∈B(H) if and only if either φ(A) = cU AU for all A or φ(A) = cUA U for all A; φsatisfies φ(AB A) = φ(A)φ(B) φ(A) for every pair A,B ∈B(H) if and only if either φ(A) = UAV for all A or φ(A) = UA V for all A, where A denotes the indefinite conjugate of A, U and V are bounded invertible linear or conjugate linear operators with U U = c-1I and V V = cI for some nonzero real number c.

Infinite Quasimonotone Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations with Applications to Stochastic Processes

We deal with the initial value problem for countably infinite linear systems of ordinary differential equations of the form y '( t ) = A ( t ) y ( t ) where A ( t ) = ( a ij ( t ): i , j S 1) is a measurable, infinite and essentially positive matrix, i.e., a ij ( t ) S 0 for i p j . The main novelty of our approach is the systematic use of a classical comparison theorem for finite linear systems which leads easily to the existence of a nonnegative minimal solution and its properties. Application to generalized stochastic birth and death processes produces criteria for honest and dishonest probability distributions. A short proof of the Kolmogorov and Chapman-Kolmogorov equations for stochastic processes follows. The results hold for L 1 -coefficients. Our method extends to nonlinear infinite systems of quasimonotone type and can be used for numerical procedures that yield exact results; cf. the Addendum.     

On generalized semi-infinite optimization and bilevel optimization

The paper studies the connections and differences between bilevel problems (BL) and generalized semi-infinite problems (GSIP). Under natural assumptions (GSIP) can be seen as a special case of a (BL). We consider the so-called reduction approach for (BL) and (GSIP) leading to optimality conditions and Newton-type methods for solving the problems. We show by a structural analysis that for (GSIP)-problems the regularity assumptions for the reduction approach can be expected to hold generically at a solution but for general (BL)-problems not. The genericity behavior of (BL) and (GSIP) is in particular studied for linear problems.     

On the Wielandt Subgroup in a p-Group of Maximal Class

The Wielandt subgroup of a group G,denoted by w(G),is the intersection of the normalizers of all subnormal subgroups of G.In this paper,the authors show that for a p-group of maximal class G,either wi(G) = ζi(G) for all integer i or wi(G) = ζi+1(G) for every integer i,and w(G/K) = ζ(G/K) for every normal subgroup K in G with K = 1.Meanwhile,a necessary and suflcient condition for a regular p-group of maximal class satisfying w(G) = ζ2(G) is given.Finally,the authors prove that the power automorphism group PAut(G) is an elementary abelian p-group if G is a non-abelian pgroup with elementary ζ(G) ∩ 1(G).     

关于图是(g,f,n)-临界图的充分条件

设G是一个图. 设g和f是两个定义在V(G)上的整值函数使得对V(G)所有的顶点x有g(x)f(x). 图G被称为(g,f,n)-临界图,如果删去G的任意n个顶点后的子图都含有G的(g,f)-因子. 本文给出了图是(a,b,n)-临界图几个充分条件. 进一步指出这些条件是最佳的. 例如,如果对V(G)所有的顶点x和y都有g(x)＜f(x), n+g(x)dG(x)和g(x)/(dG(x)-n)f(y)/dG(y),则G是(g,f,n)-临界图.     

When a compact (countably compact) set is closed. II

We obtain (a) necessary and sufficient conditions and (b) sufficient conditions for a compact (countably compact) set to be closed in products (sequential products) and subspaces (sequential subspaces) of normal spaces. As a consequence of these, sufficient conditions are obtained for (i) the closedness of arbitrary (countable) union of closed sets and (ii) the equality of the union of the closures and the closure of the union of arbitrary (countable) families of sets in these spaces. It is also shown that these results do not hold for quotients of even T ₄,-spaces.

COMPRESSIBLE NON-ISENTROPIC BIPOLAR NAVIER-STOKES-POISSON SYSTEM IN R~3

The compressible non-isentropic bipolar Navier-Stokes-Poisson (BNSP) system is investigated in R 3 in the present paper, and the optimal time decay rates of global strong solution are shown. For initial data being a perturbation of equilibrium state in H l (R 3 ) ∩ Bs 1,1 (R 3 ) for l ≥ 4 and s ∈ (0, 1], it is shown that the density and temperature for each charged particle (like electron or ion) decay at the same optimal rate (1 + t) 3 4 , but the momentum for each particle decays at the optimal rate (1 + t) 1 4 s 2 which is slower than the rate (1 + t) 3 4 s 2 for the compressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equations [19] for same initial data. However, the total momentum tends to the constant state at the rate (1+t) 3 4 as well, due to the interplay interaction of charge particles which counteracts the influence of electric field.     

Application of sequential quadratic programming software program to an actual problem

We produced a nonlinear optimization software program which is based on a Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method (Schittkowski, 1981a). Our program has several original characteristics: (1) automatic choice between two QP solvers, the Goldfarb—Idnani (GI) method (Goldfarb and Idnani, 1983) and the Least Squares (LS) method (Schittkowski, 1981b); (2) an augmented Lagrange function (Schittkowski, 1981a) as the objective function for line search; (3) adaptive Armijo method for line search; (4) direct definition of upper and lower bounds for variables and constraint functions; and (5) accurate numerical differentials. These characteristics ensure the reliability of our program for solving standard problems. In this paper, point (3) is described in detail. Then, the program is applied to an actual problem, the optimal placement of blocks. A model for this problem has been suggested by Sha and Dutton (1984), but it was unsuited to treatment by the SQP method. Thus we modify it to ensure program applicability.

Mexican high school students' social representations of mathematics,its teaching and learning

This paper reports a qualitative research that identifies Mexican high school students’ social representations of mathematics. For this purpose, the social representations of ‘mathematics’, ‘learning mathematics’ and ‘teaching mathematics’ were identified in a group of 50 students. Focus group interviews were carried out in order to obtain the data. The constant comparative style was the strategy used for the data analysis because it allowed the categories to emerge from the data. The students’ social representations are: (A) Mathematics is…(1) important for daily life, (2) important for careers and for life, (3) important because it is in everything that surrounds us, (4) a way to solve problems of daily life, (5) calculations and operations with numbers, (6) complex and difficult, (7) exact and (6) a subject that develops thinking skills; (B) To learn mathematics is…(1) to possess knowledge to solve problems, (2) to be able to solve everyday problems, (3) to be able to make calculations and operations, and (4) to think logically to be able to solve problems; and (C) To teach mathematics is…(1) to transmit knowledge, (2) to know to share it, (3) to transmit the reasoning ability, and (4) to show how to solve problems.     

GLOBAL EXISTENCE FOR A CLASS OF SYSTEMSOF NONLINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS INTHREE SPACE DIMENSIONS

Consider a system of nonlinear wave equationsfor i = 1, … , m, where F, (i = 1, … , m) are smooth functions of degree 2 near the origin of their arguments, and u = (u1, … ,um), while u and x u represent the first and second derivatives of u, respectively. In this paper, the author presents a new class of nonlineaxity for which the global existence of small solutions is ensured. For example, global existence of small solutions for arbitrary cubic terms,arbitrary cubic termswill be established, provided that c12 ≠ c22.

关于Erdos-Jacobson-Lehel 问题的门槛

设σ(k,n）表示最小的正整数m，使得对于每个n项正可图序列，当其项和至少为m时，有一个实现含k 1个顶点的团作为其子图。Erdos等人猜想：σ(k,n）＝（k-1)(2n-k) 2.Li等人证明了这个猜想对于k≥5，n≥（^k2））＋3是对的，并且提出如下问题：确定最小的整数N（k），使得这个猜想对于n≥N(k）成立。他们同时指出：当k≥5时，[5k-1/2]≤N(k）≤（^k2) 3.Mubayi猜想：当k≥5时，N(k）＝[5k-1/2]。在本文中，我们证明了N（8）＝20，即Mubayi猜想对于k=8是成立的。     

Signed Roman (Total) Domination Numbers of Complete Bipartite Graphs and Wheels

A signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating function, SRDF(res.STRDF) for short, of a graph G =(V, E) is a function f : V → {-1, 1, 2} satisfying the conditions that(i)∑v∈N[v]f(v) ≥ 1(res.∑v∈N(v)f(v) ≥ 1) for any v ∈ V, where N [v] is the closed neighborhood and N(v) is the neighborhood of v, and(ii) every vertex v for which f(v) =-1 is adjacent to a vertex u for which f(u) = 2. The weight of a SRDF(res. STRDF) is the sum of its function values over all vertices.The signed(res. signed total) Roman domination number of G is the minimum weight among all signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating functions of G. In this paper,we compute the exact values of the signed(res. signed total) Roman domination numbers of complete bipartite graphs and wheels.

THE NOTE ON MATRIX-VALUED RATIONAL INTERPOLATION

In [3], a kind of matrix-valued rational interpolants （MRIs） in the form of Rn（x） = M（x）/D（x） with the divisibility condition D（x） ｜ ｜｜M（x）｜｜^2, was defined, and the characterization theorem and uniqueness theorem for MRIs were proved. However this divisibility condition is found not necessary in some cases. In this paper, we re- move this restricted condition, define the generalized matrix-valued rational interpolants （GMRIs） and establish the characterization theorem and uniqueness theorem for GMRIs. One can see that the characterization theorem and uniqueness theorem for MRIs are the special cases of those for GMRIs. Moreover, by defining a kind of inner product, we succeed in unifying the Samelson inverses for a vector and a matrix.
