On Sets of Planes in Projective Spaces Intersecting Mutually in One Point

Let be a projective space. In this paper we consider sets of planes of such that any two planes of intersect in exactly one point. Our investigation will lead to a classification of these sets in most cases. There are the following two main results:- If is a set of planes of a projective space intersecting mutually in one point, then the set of intersection points spans a subspace of dimension 6. There are up to isomorphism only three sets where this dimension is 6. These sets are related to the Fano plane.- If is a set of planes of PG(d,q) intersecting mutually in one point, and if q3, 3(q²+q+1), then is either contained in a Klein quadric in PG(5,q), or is a dual partial spread in PG(4,q), or all elements of pass through a common point.

Einschließungsaussagen für gewöhnliche Differentialoperatoren

Summary For differential operatorsM of second order (as defined in (1.1)) we describe a method to prove Range-Domain implications—Mu–u and an algorithm to construct these functions , , , . This method has been especially developed for application to non-inverse-positive differential operators. For example, for non-negativea ₂ and for given functions = we require =C ₀[0, 1] C ₂([0, 1]–T) whereT is some finite set), (M) (t)(t), (t[0, 1]–T) and certain additional conditions for eachtT. Such Range-Domain implications can be used to obtain a numerical error estimation for the solution of a boundary value problemMu=r; further, we use them to guarantee the existence of a solution of nonlinear boundary value problems between the bounds- and .     

A priori estimates of the solution of the dirichlet problem for the Monge-ampére equation in weight spaces

One proves that a priori boundedness of the norm of the solution of the problem det(U_xx)=f(x,u,u_x)>>0,u¦=0. The magnitudes of the exponents,() depends on whether the arguments u p occur or not in f (x,u,p).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

A Niche Width Model of Optimal Specialization

Niche width theory, a part of organizational ecology, predicts whether specialist or generalist forms of organizations have higher fitness, in a continually changing environment. To this end, niche width theory uses a mathematical model borrowed from biology. In this paper, we first loosen the specialist-generalist dichotomy, so that we can predict the optimal degree of specialization. Second, we generalize the model to a larger class of environmental conditions, on the basis of the model's underlying assumptions. Third, we criticize the way the biological model is treated in sociological theory. Two of the model's dimensions seem to be confused, i.e., that of trait and environment; the predicted optimal specialization is a property of individual organizations, not of populations; and, the distinction between fine and coarse grained environments is superfluous.

Quasianapole Interaction of Charged Fermions

We obtain the analytic expression for the total cross section of the reaction e ^– e ⁺l ^– l ⁺ (l=,) taking possible quasianapole interaction effects into account. We find numerical restrictions on the interaction parameter value from data for the reaction e ^– e ^+–+ in the energy domain below the Z ⁰ peak.

Über die Existenz gemeinsamer Elemente bester Approximation bezüglich zweier Normen II

The present paper deals with the possibility of existence of best approximation elements, simultaneously with respect to two norms ·_i,i=1,2, for all the elements of a class of subspaces. In case this class in any of the following: (a) All n-dimensional subspaces, (b) All ·₁-or ·||₂-closed, n-codimensional subspaces, (c) All ·₁-or ·₂-closed subspaces with infinite dimension and codimension, we prove that the two norms differ at most by a constant factor.     

Local invariants of differential equations

We consider an analytic system X=(X) in the neighborhood of the fixed point X=0. Depending on the characteristic numbers of the matrix (/x)₀, we define the integer d 0 as the dimension of the normal form or as the multiplicity of the resonance. We show that a system with d=1, subject to certain additional assumptions, has a finite number of invariants relative to reversible formal changes of variablesx = (Y). All these invariants are the coefficients of some normal form. We touch upon questions concerning invariants of relatively smooth and continuous substitutions.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 499–507, October, 1973.     

An Effective Model of a Layered Medium in Which Alternating Porous and Elastic Layers Are in Slide Contact

For a medium in which porous and elastic layers alternate and there is slide contact on the interfaces, an effective model is established. This model is of three phases and includes two elastic phases and one fluid phase. Specific features of this effective model are that two waves with triangular front sets propagate and the second (slow) longitudinal wave is absent in it. In the special case where the thickness of elastic layers is very small but they continue to work as barriers for fluid particles from porous layers, the effective model is of two phases, and one of the triangular front sets disappears.

Theorem on a convergence condition in the spaces

For a given -function (u), a condition on a -function (u) is found such that it is necessary and sufficient for the following to hold: if f_n(x) f(x) and f _n (x)M (n=1, 2, ...) where M>0 is an absolute constant, then f _n (x)–f(x)0(n). An analogous condition for convergence in Orlicz spaces is obtained as a corollary.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 615–626, May, 1977.The author thanks V. A.

Finitely additive random walks on infinitely generated free groups

We consider any purely finitely additive probability measure supported on the generators of an infinitely generated free group and the Markov strategy with stationary transition probability . As well as for the case of random walks (with countably additive transition probability) on finitely generated free groups, we prove that all bounded sets are transient. Finally, we consider any finitely additive measure (supported on the group generators) and we prove that the classification of the state space depends only on the continuous part of .     

Round-off error analysis of iterations for large linear systems

Summary We deal with the rounding error analysis of successive approximation iterations for the solution of large linear systemsA _x =b. We prove that Jacobi, Richardson, Gauss-Seidel and SOR iterations arenumerically stable wheneverA=A ^*>0 andA has PropertyA. This means that the computed resultx _k approximates the exact solution with relative error of order A·A ^–1 where is the relative computer precision. However with the exception of Gauss-Seidel iteration the residual vector Ax _k –b is of order A² A ^–1 and hence the remaining three iterations arenot well-behaved.This work was partly done during the author's visit at Carnegie-Mellon University and it was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research under Contract N00014-76-C-0370; NR 044-422 and by the National Science Foundation under Grant MCS75-222-55     

Bergman-Vekua theory in differential form

We develop Bergman-Vekua integral operator theory on the basis of a new kind of series suggested by polynomial operators (classP _j operators); in a sense, this is an analog of the Weierstrass approach as opposed to the Cauchy-Riemann approach in classical complex analysis, which also has advantages over the original form in boundary value problems and other applications.Dedicated to the memory of my friend, Peter Henrici     

The Hilbert–Poincaré Series for Some Algebras of Invariants of Cyclic Groups

Let be a linear representation of a finite group over a field of characteristic 0. Further, let R be the corresponding algebra of invariants, and let P (t) be its Hilbert–Poincaré series. Then the series P (t) represents a rational function (t)/(t). If R is a complete intersection, then (t) is a product of cyclotomic polynomials. Here we prove the inverse statement for the case where is an almost regular (in particular, regular) representation of a cyclic group. This yields an answer to a question of R.

On generalized Stackelberg strategies

The concept of Stackelberg strategy for a nonzero-sum two-person game is extended to allow for a nonunique rational response of the follower. This leads to the notion of a generalized Stackelberg strategy for the leader, which guarantees him a cost value that cannot be exceeded, no matter what the rational response of the follower. Then, a generalized Stackelberg strategy pair is defined. A simple example is given. The idea of a generalized Stackelberg strategy and strategy pair is then applied to the situation of one leader and many rational followers.This paper is based on research supported by the National Science Foundation.
