Homogenization of a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Problem in a Thick Periodic Junction of the Type 3:2:1

We prove a convergence theorem and obtain asymptotic (as 0) estimates for a solution of a parabolic initial boundary-value problem in a junction that consists of a domain ₀ and a large number N ² of -periodically located thin cylinders whose thickness is of order = O(N ^–1).

An isolation theorem for decomposable forms of purely real algebraic fields of degree n⩾3

Let M be a complete module of a purely algebraic field of degree n3, let be the lattice of this module and let F(X) be its form. By we denote any lattice for which we have = , where is a nondiagonal matrix satisfying the condition ¦-I¦ , I being the identity matrix. The complete collection of such lattices will be denoted by {}. To each lattice we associate in a natural manner the decomposable form F(X). The complete collection of forms, corresponding to the set {}, will be denoted by {F} It is shown that for any given arbitrarily small interval (N–, N+), one can select an such that for each F(X) from {F} there exists an integral vector X₀ such that N– < F(X₀) < N+.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On regular embedding integrally in R3 of metrics of class C4 of negative curvature

On the x₀y plane let there be specified a complete metric of negative curvature K by means of the line element ds²=dx²+B²(x, y) dy², and, in the strip _a={0xa, -4-bounded function B>0,K-²<0 ( and are constants).

A Characterization of Some Minihypers and its Application to Linear Codes

Any {f,r- 2+s; r,q}-minihyper includes a hyperplane in PG(r, q) if fr-1 + s 1 + q – 1 for 1 s q – 1, q 3, r 4, where i = (qi + 1 – 1)/ (q – 1 ). A lower bound on f for which an {f, r – 2 + 1; r, q}-minihyper with q 3, r 4 exists is also given. As an application to coding theory, we show the nonexistence of [ n, k, n + 1 – qk – 2 ]q codes for k 5, q 3 for qk – 1 – 2q – 1 < n qk – 1 – q – 1 when k > q – q - \sqrt q + 2$$ " align="middle" border="0"> and for when , which is a generalization of [18, Them. 2.4].     

Application of Hermite-Mahler polynomials to the approximation of the values ofp-adic exponential function

We shall give a further application of Hermite-Mahler polynomials to the consideration ofp-adic exponential function. An effective lower bound is obtained for max {| – | _p ,P(e )| _p }, where is an algebraic number satisfying || _p <p ^–/(p–1), and 0 is ap-adic number with | | _p depending on the degree of the polynomialPZ[y]. The bound obtained implies the transcendence ofe if ap-adic number satisfying 0 < || _p <p ^–/(p–1) is algebraic or can be well approximated by algebraic numbers.This work was carried out while the author was a research fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.     

Experiments with an interactive paired comparison simplex method for molp problems

In this paper, an interactive paired comparison simplex based method formultipleobjectivelinearprogramming (MOLP) problems is developed and compared to other interactive MOLP methods. Thedecisionmaker (DM)'s utility function is assumed to be unknown, but is an additive function of his known linearized objective functions. A test for utilityefficiency for MOLP problems is developed to reduce the number of efficient extreme points generated and the number of questions posed to the DM. The notion of strength ofpreference is developed for the assessment of the DM's unknown utility function where he can express his preference for a pair of extreme points as strong, weak, or almost indifferent. The problem of inconsistency of the DM is formalized and its resolution is discussed. An example of the method and detailed computational results comparing it with other interactive MOLP methods are presented. Several performance measures for comparative evaluations of interactive multiple objective programming methods are also discussed.All rights reserved.

Decktransformationen transnormaler Mannigfaltigkeiten

For every transnormal m-manifold V (see [3] or [7]) in ⁿ :VW, mapping pV into its normal plane (p) is a covering map onto a submanifold W of the open Grassmannian H_n,n–m of all (n–m)-dimensional planes in ⁿ. The transnormal frame T:=^–1((p)) admits a transitive operation by a group J of isometries. The group action of the covering transformations of (V,,W) on T commutes with the action of J. The elements of J, which are restrictions of covering transformations to T, are exactly the elements of the centre of J. This property is applied to show the existence of nontrivial covering transformations of (V,,W) for n–m3.

Topological transitivity of cylindrical cascades

The existence is proved of a topologically transitive (t.t.) homeomorphism U of the space W = × Z of the formU (, z)=(T,, z+f ()) ( , z Z), where is a complete separable metric space, T is a t.t. homeomorphism of onto itself, Z is a separable banach space, andf is a continuous map: z. For the special case W = S¹×R, T=+ ( is incommensurable with 2) the existence is proved of t.t. homeomorphisms (1) of two types: 1) with zero measure of the set of transitive points, 2) with zero measure of the set of intransitive points. An example is presented of a continuous functionf: S¹R for which the corresponding homeomorphism (1) is t.t. for all incommensurable with 2.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 3, pp. 441–452, September, 1973.The author thanks D.

Graphs of Constant Mean Curvature in Hyperbolic Space

We study the problem of finding constant mean curvature graphsover a domain of a totally geodesic hyperplane andan equidistant hypersurface Q of hyperbolic space. We findthe existence of graphs of constant mean curvature H overmean convex domains Q and with boundary for –H < H |h|, where H > 0 is the mean curvature of the boundary . Here h is the mean curvature respectively of the geodesic hyperplane (h= 0) and of the equidistant hypersurface (0 < |h|< 1). The lower bound on H is optimal.     

On Conjectures of Mathai and Borel

Mathai has conjectured that the Cheeger–Gromov invariant ₍₂₎ = ₍₂₎ - is a homotopy invariant of closed manifolds with torsion-free fundamental group. In this paper we prove this statement for closed manifolds M when the rational Borel conjecture is known for = ₁(M), i.e. the assembly map : H _*(B, ) L_*() is an isomorphism. Our discussion evokes the theory of intersection homology and results related to the higher signature problem.
