k-regular factors and semi-k-regular factors in bipartite graphs

LetG be a graph, andk1 an integer. LetU be a subset ofV(G), and letF be a spanning subgraph ofG such that deg _F (x)=k for allx V(G)–U. If deg _F (x)k for allxU, thenF is called an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setU, and if deg _F (x)k for allxU, thenF is called a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setU. Now letG=(X, Y;E(G)) be a bipartite graph with bipartition (X,Y) such that X=Yk+2. We prove the following two results.(1) Suppose that for each subsetU ₁X such that U ₁=max{k+1, X+1/2},G has an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setU ₁Y, and for each subsetU ₂Y such that U ₂=max{k+1, X+1/2},G has an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setXU ₂. ThenG has ak-factor.(2) Suppose that for each subsetU ₁X such that U ₁=X–1/k+1,G has a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setU ₁Y, and for each subsetU ₂Y such that U ₂=X–1/k+1,G has a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setXU ₂. ThenG has ak-factor.     

1-formes fermées singulières et groupe fondamental

Summary We study the influence of the ₁ of a closed manifoldM ⁿ (n3) on the foliations ofM defined by closed differential 1-forms with Morse singularities (of index 0,n). Every nonexact form is cohomologous to a weakly complete one, that is one whose leaf space is of the same type as that of a nonsingular form. Generically, a form has compact leaves or is weakly complete. If ₁ M has no quotient isomorphic to *, then every nonexact form onM is weakly complete. We also say a form is complete if every path inM is homotopic to either a path transverse to or a path contained in a leaf of . Completeness of depends only on its de R ham cohomology class. The set of complete cohomology classes depends only on ₁ M and is related to finitely generated normal subgroups of ₁ M with quotient . If ₁ M is nilpotent (or even polycyclic), every nonexact form onM is complete. On irreducible 3-manifolds, a form is complete iff it is cohomologous to a nonsingular one.     

Parabolic subgroups of Chevalley groups over a semilocal ring

Let G be the Chevalley group over a commutative semilocal ring R which is associated with a root system . The parabolic subgroups of G are described in the work. A system =() of ideals in R ( runs through all roots of the system ) is called a net of ideals in the commutative ring R if ₊ for all those roots and for which + is also a root. A net is called parabolic if =R for >0. The main theorem: under minor additional assumptions all parabolic subgroups of G are in bijective correspondence with all parabolic nets . The paper is related to two works of K. Suzuki in which the parabolic subgroups of G are described under more stringent conditions.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Quasi-coherence of Hardy spaces in several complex variables

In this paper, we prove that the Hardy spaceH ^p (), 1p<, over a strictly pseudoconvex domain in ⁿ with smooth boundary is quasi-coherent. More precisely, we show that Toeplitz tuplesT with suitable symbols onH ^p () have property (). This proof is based on a well known exactness result for the tangential Cauchy-Riemann complex.

Singular Eigenvalue Problems for the Equation y (n) + λp(x)y = 0

The paper studies singular eigenvalue problems for the equation y ⁽ⁿ⁾ +p(x)y=0 with boundary conditions imposed on the derivatives y ⁽ⁱ⁾ at the points x=a and x=. We look for singular problems which are analogous to regular problems on a finite interval. It is characterized when each eigenfunction has a finite number of zeros and when the spectrum is discrete or continuous, respectively.

Randomly Weighted Sums of Subexponential Random Variables with Application to Ruin Theory

Let {X _k , 1 k n} be n independent and real-valued random variables with common subexponential distribution function, and let {k, 1 k n} be other n random variables independent of {X _k , 1 k n} and satisfying a _k b for some 0 < a b < for all 1 k n. This paper proves that the asymptotic relations P (max_{1 m n k=1} ^m _k X _k > x) P (sum _k=1 ⁿ _k X _k > x) sum _k=1 ⁿ P ( _k X _k > x) hold as x . In doing so, no any assumption is made on the dependence structure of the sequence { _k , 1 k n}. An application to ruin theory is proposed.

Effect of cycle asymmetry on the dynamic properties of rubbers in tension

The dynamic properties of rubbers have been investigated at large extensions in asymmetric cycles. Methods of calculating the characteristics of the elastic C and hysteretic A properties of rubbers in two regimes are presented: 1) when the harmonic strain amplitude ₀ and the mean strain are given; 2) when the harmonic displacement amplitude w₀ of the rubber specimen and a spring dynamometer connected in series and the static load Q_st are given. It is shown that in the case of vulcanizates based on crystallizing rubbers and active fillers in the region of strains ₀, and loads Q_st causing crystallization during extension C and A increase with increase in ₀, , and Q_st. The variation of C and A with ₀, , and Q_st is qualitatively different for different types of deformation.Scientific-Research Institute of the Tire Industry, Moscow.

Embeddings of Banach Spaces Into Banach Lattices and the Gordon–Lewis Property

In this paper we first show that if X is a Banach space and is a left invariant crossnorm on lX, then there is a Banach lattice L and an isometric embedding J of X into L, so that I J becomes an isometry of lX onto l_m J(X). Here I denotes the identity operator on l and l_m J(X) the canonical lattice tensor product. This result is originally due to G. Pisier (unpublished), but our proof is different. We then use this to prove the main results which characterize the Gordon–Lewis property GL and related structures in terms of embeddings into Banach lattices.     

Résolution numérique des grands systèmes différentiels linéaires

Sommaire La solution stricte d'un système différentiel linéaire à coefficients constants [d /d t] = [A] [] + [f (t) ] est donnée par: [ (t)]= [e^At] [ (0) ] + f [e^A(t–)] [f (T) ] d .Cette relation, utilisée dans une méthode de pas à pas, permet le calcul de [(t+u)] en fonction de [(t)]. La mise en oeuvre numérique de cette formule nécessite le calcul de [e^A] et de l'intégrale de matrice du second membre.Le sujet de cette étude est la mise au point de techniques d'approximation permettant le calcul effectif de [e ^Aµ] et de l'intégrale de matrice par des méthodes qui peuvent s'adapter en particulier aux systèmes différentiels à très grand nombre d'inconnues, qui apparaissent par exemple dans l'approximation par discrétisation enx ety, de l'équation aux dérivées partielles, dite de la chaleur.     

Nilpotent commuting varieties of reductive Lie algebras

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p0, and =LieG. In positive characteristic, suppose in addition that p is good for G and the derived subgroup of G is simply connected. Let =() denote the nilpotent variety of , and ^nil():={(x,y)×|[x,y]=0}, the nilpotent commuting variety of . Our main goal in this paper is to show that the variety ^nil() is equidimensional. In characteristic 0, this confirms a conjecture of Vladimir Baranovsky; see [2]. When applied to GL(n), our result in conjunction with an observation in [2] shows that the punctual (local) Hilbert scheme _n Hilb ⁿ (²) is irreducible over any algebraically closed field.

Extremal problems in classes of univalent functions,omitting prescribed values

Section 1 of the paper is devoted to extremal problems in the classes of conformal homeomorphisms of the circle and the annulus, connected directly with the problem on the maximum of the conformal modulus in the family of doubly connected domains. In Secs. 2 and 3 one considers the class R of functions f()=c₁+c₂²+... regular and univalent in the circleU={||<1} and such that f(₁)f(₂)=1 for ₁₂U (the class of Bieberbach-Eilenberg functions). Here one solves the problem of the maximum of |f(₀)| in the class of functions f()R with a fixed value f(₀, where ₀ is an arbitrary point U, and of the maximum of |f(₀)| in the entire class R. For the proof one makes use of the method of the moduli of families of curves.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Wave operators in a multistratified strip

One investigates the scattering theory for the positive self-adjoint operatorH=–· acting in with = × and a bounded open set in ^n–1,n2. The real-valued function belongs toL (), is bounded from below byc>0 and there exist real-valued functions ₁ and ₂ inL () such that – _j ,j=1,2 is a short range perturbation of _j when (–1) ^j x _n +. One assumes _j = ^(j) 1_R,j=1,2, with ^(j) L bounded from below byc>0. One proves the existence and completeness of the generalized wave operators _j ^± =s – _j e ^–itHj ,j=1,2, withH _j =–· _j and _j : equal to 1 if (–1) ^j x _n >0 and to 0 if (–1) ^j x _n <0. The ranges ofW _j ^± :=( _j ^± )^* are characterized so that W ₁ ^± =Ran and . The scattering operator can then be defined.
