On the equation Δ<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>)<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> = 0

Sufficient conditions for the blow-up of nontrivial generalized solutions of the interior Dirichlet problem with homogeneous boundary condition for the homogeneous elliptic-type equation Δu + q(x)u = 0, where either q(x) ≠ const or q(x) = const= λ > 0, are obtained. A priori upper bounds (Theorem 4 and Remark 6) for the exact constants in the well-known Sobolev and Steklov inequalities are established.     

On Analytic Campanato and <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>) Spaces

We investigate the relation between analytic Campanato spaces \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) and the spaces F(p, q, s), characterize the bounded and compact Riemann–Stieltjes operators from \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) to \(F(p,p-s-1,s)\). We also describe the corona theorem and the interpolating sequences for the class \(F(p,p-2,s)\), which is the Möbius invariant subspace of the analytic Besov type spaces \(B_p(s)\).     

On blocks with <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>)−<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>)=1

We use the method of local representation and original method of Brauer to study the block with K(B)−L(B)=1, and get some properties on the defect group and the structure of this kind of blocks. Then, we show that K(B) conjecture holds for this kind of blocks.     

Cascades of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ε</Emphasis>-invisibility

We consider statistical attractors of locally typical dynamical systems and their “ε-invisible” subsets: parts of the attractors whose neighborhoods are visited by orbits with an average frequency of less than e << 1{\varepsilon \ll 1}. For extraordinarily small values of ε (say, smaller than 2^-106{{2^{-10}}^6}), an observer virtually never sees these parts when following a generic orbit.     

A theorem of the alternatives for the equation |<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ax</Emphasis>| − |<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>||<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>| = <Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>

A theorem of the alternatives for the equation \({|Ax|-|B||x|=b\ (A,B\in{\mathbb{R}}^{n\times n},\, b\in{\mathbb{R}}^n)}\) is proved and several consequences are drawn. In particular, a class of matrices A, B is identified for which the equation has exactly 2 ⁿ solutions for each positive right-hand side b.     

On common values of <Emphasis Type="Italic">φ</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>) and <Emphasis Type="Italic">σ</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>). I

We show, conditional on a uniform version of the prime k-tuples conjecture, that there are x/(log x)^1+o(1) numbers not exceeding x common to the ranges of φ and σ. Here φ is Euler’s totient function and σ is the sum-of-divisors function.     

An <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-approach for packing (<Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">w</Emphasis>)-rectangles into rectangular and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-shaped pieces

This paper presents an approach using a recursive algorithm for packing (?, w)-rectangles into larger rectangular and L-shaped pieces. Such a problem has actual applications for non-guillotine cutting and pallet/container loading. Our motivation for developing the L-approach is based on the fact that it can solve difficult pallet loading instances. Indeed, it is able to solve all testing problems (more than 20 000 representatives of infinite equivalence classes of the literature), including the 18 hard instances unresolved by other heuristics. We conjecture that the L-approach always finds optimum packings of (?, w)-rectangles into rectangular pieces. Moreover, the approach may also be useful when dealing with cutting and packing problems involving L-shaped pieces.     

Difference sets with <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> = 5<Emphasis Type="Italic"> p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let D be a (v, k, λ)-difference set in an abelian group G, and (v, 31) = 1. If n = 5p ^r with p a prime not dividing v and r a positive integer, then p is a multiplier of D. In the case 31|v, we get restrictions on the parameters of such difference sets D for which p may not be a multiplier.      

Derivatives for smooth representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">GL</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, ℝ) and <Emphasis Type="Italic">GL</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, ℂ)

The notion of derivatives for smooth representations of GL(n, ? _p ) was defined in [BZ77]. In the archimedean case, an analog of the highest derivative was defined for irreducible unitary representations in [Sah89] and called the “adduced” representation. In this paper we define derivatives of all orders for smooth admissible Fréchet representations of moderate growth. The real case is more problematic than the p-adic case; for example, arbitrary derivatives need not be admissible. However, the highest derivative continues being admissible, and for irreducible unitarizable representations coincides with the space of smooth vectors of the adduced representation.In the companion paper [AGS] we prove exactness of the highest derivative functor, and compute highest derivatives of all monomial representations.We apply those results to finish the computation of adduced representations for all irreducible unitary representations and to prove uniqueness of degenerate Whittaker models for unitary representations, thus completing the results of [Sah89, Sah90, SaSt90, GS13a].     

Equitable total coloring of <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> ⋁ <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

The minimum number of total independent partition sets of V ∪ E of graph G(V,E) is called the total chromatic number of G denoted by χ _t (G). If the difference of the numbers of any two total independent partition sets of V ∪ E is no more than one, then the minimum number of total independent partition sets of V ∪ E is called the equitable total chromatic number of G, denoted by χ _et (G). In this paper, we obtain the equitable total chromatic number of the join graph of fan and wheel with the same order.

Systematic Construction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Analogs of <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>−(<Emphasis Type="Italic">v</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>,λ)-Designs

In the present paper we consider a q-analog of t–(v,k,)-designs. It is canonic since it arises by replacing sets by vector spaces over GF(q), and their orders by dimensions. These generalizations were introduced by Thomas [Geom.Dedicata vol. 63, pp. 247–253 (1996)] they are called t –(v,k,;q)- designs. A few of such q-analogs are known today, they were constructed using sophisticated geometric arguments and case-by-case methods. It is our aim now to present a general method that allows systematically to construct such designs, and to give complete catalogs (for small parameters, of course) using an implemented software package. &nbsp; In order to attack the (highly complex) construction, we prepare them for an enormous data reduction by embedding their definition into the theory of group actions on posets, so that we can derive and use a generalization of the Kramer-Mesner matrix for their definition, together with an improved version of the LLL-algorithm. By doing so we generalize the methods developed in a research project on t –(v,k,)-designs on sets, obtaining this way new results on the existence of t–(v,k,;q)-designs on spaces for further quintuples (t,v,k,;q) of parameters. We present several 2–(6,3,;2)-designs, 2–(7,3,;2)-designs and, as far as we know, the very first 3-designs over GF(q).classification 05B05     

On the Crossing Number of <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Subscript> □ <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

Crossing numbers of graphs are in general very difficult to compute. There are several known exact results on the crossing number of the Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with small graphs. In this paper we study cr(K_m □ P_n), the crossing number of the Cartesian product K_m □ P_n. We prove that for m ≥ 3,n ≥ 1 and cr(K_m □ P_n)≥ (n − 1)cr(K_m+2 − e) + 2cr(K_m+1). For m≤ 5, according to Klešč, Jendrol and Ščerbová, the equality holds. In this paper, we also prove that the equality holds for m = 6, i.e., cr(K₆ □ P_n) = 15n + 3.

The smooth structure set of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Superscript>

We calculate \({\mathcal{S}^{{\it Diff}}(S^p \times S^q)}\), the smooth structure set of S ^p × S ^q , for p, q ≥ 2 and p + q ≥ 5. As a consequence we show that in general \({\mathcal{S}^{Diff}(S^{4j-1}\times S^{4k})}\) cannot admit a group structure such that the smooth surgery exact sequence is a long exact sequence of groups. We also show that the image of the forgetful map \({\mathcal{S}^{Diff}(S^{4j}\times S^{4k}) \rightarrow \mathcal{S}^{Top}(S^{4j}\times S^{4k})}\) is not in general a subgroup of the topological structure set.     

Cycles in <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-orbits in <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">ℂ</Emphasis></Superscript>-flag manifolds

There is a natural duality between orbits of a real form G of a complex semisimple group G on a homogeneous rational manifold Z=G /P and those of the complexification K of any of its maximal compact subgroups K: (,) is a dual pair if is a K-orbit. The cycle space C() is defined to be the connected component containing the identity of the interior of {g:g() is non-empty and compact}. Using methods which were recently developed for the case of open G-orbits, geometric properties of cycles are proved, and it is shown that C() is contained in a domain defined by incidence geometry. In the non-Hermitian case this is a key ingredient for proving that C() is a certain explicitly computable universal domain.Research of the first author partially supported by Schwerpunkt Global methods in complex geometry and SFB-237 of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.The second author was supported by a stipend of the Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst.

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>-regular archimedean <Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>-rings

For a commutative ring A with identity, and for infinite cardinals α as well as the symbol ∞, which indicates the situation in which there are no cardinal restrictions, one defines A to be α-regular if for each subset D of A, with |D| < α and de = 0, for any two distinct d, e ∈ D, there is an s ∈ A such that d ² s = d, for each d ∈ D, and if xd = 0, for each d ∈ D, then xs = 0     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-stable support <Emphasis Type="Italic">τ</Emphasis>-tilting modules

Motivated by τ-tilting theory developed by T. Adachi, O. Iyama, I. Reiten, for a finite-dimensional algebra Λ with action by a finite group G; we introduce the notion of G-stable support τ-tilting modules. Then we establish bijections among G-stable support τ-tilting modules over Λ; G-stable two-term silting complexes in the homotopy category of bounded complexes of finitely generated projective Λ-modules, and G-stable functorially finite torsion classes in the category of finitely generated left Λ-modules. In the case when Λ is the endomorphism of a G-stable cluster-tilting object T over a Hom-finite 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category C with a G-action, these are also in bijection with G-stable cluster-tilting objects in C. Moreover, we investigate the relationship between stable support τ-tilitng modules over Λ and the skew group algebra ΛG     

The commutation relation <Emphasis Type="Italic">xy</Emphasis>=<Emphasis Type="Italic">qyx</Emphasis>+<Emphasis Type="Italic">hf</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis>) and Newton’s binomial formula

Let x and y be two variables satisfying the commutation relation xy=qyx+hf(y), where f(y) is a polynomial. In this paper, using Young diagrams and generating functions techniques, we study the binomial formula (x+y) ⁿ and we present an identity for x ^m y. The connection to Operator Calculus is discussed and several special cases are treated explicitly.     

The crossing number of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis> ▭ <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> for the graph <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis> on six vertices

The crossing numbers of Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with all graphs of order at most four are known. The crossing numbers of G□C _n for some graphs G on five and six vertices and the cycle C _n are also given. In this paper, we extend these results by determining the crossing number of the Cartesian product G □ C _n , where G is a specific graph on six vertices.
