Rigidity Theorem of Hypersurfaces with Constant Scalar Curvature in a Unit Sphere

In this paper, we give a characterization of tori S^1 （ √ nr＋2-n/nr）×S^n-1（√ n-2/nr） and S^m （ √n/m ） ×S^n-m （√n-m/n）. Our result extends the result due to Li （1996）on the condition that M is an n-dimensional complete hypersurface in Sn＋1 with two distinct principal curvatures.

The Maximum Size Of Graphs With A Unique<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>- Factor

For suitable positive integers n and k let m(n, k) denote the maximum number of edges in a graph of order n which has a unique k-factor. In 1964, Hetyei and in 1984, Hendry proved for even n and , respectively. Recently, Johann confirmed the following conjectures of Hendry: for and kn even and for n = 2kq, where q is a positive integer. In this paper we prove for and kn even, and we determine m(n, 3).     

Pointwise estimates for Lagrange interpolation polynomials

Let f ∈ C[?1, 1]. Let the approximation rate of Lagrange interpolation polynomial of f based on the nodes $ \left\{ {\cos \frac{{2k - 1}} {{2n}}\pi } \right\} \cup \{ - 1,1\} $ be Δ _{n + 2}(f, x). In this paper we study the estimate of Δ _{n + 2}(f,x), that keeps the interpolation property. As a result we prove that $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\ln (n + 1) + \omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|} \right)} \right\}, $$ where T _n (x) = cos (n arccos x) is the Chebeyshev polynomial of first kind. Also, if f ∈ C ^r [?1, 1] with r ≧ 1, then $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {{n^r }}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\omega \left( {f^{(r)} ,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left( {\left( {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } + \frac{1} {n}} \right)^{r - 1} \ln (n + 1) + 1} \right)} \right\}. $$      

Isotropic bodies and Bourgain''''s problem

Let K (?) Rn be a convex body of volume 1 whose barycenter is at the origin, LK be the isotropic constant of K. Finding the least upper bound of LK , being called Bourgain's problem, is a well known open problem in the local theory of Banach space. The best estimate known today is LK < cn1/4 log n, recently shown by Bourgain, for an arbitrary convex body in any finite dimension. Utilizing the method of spherical section function, it is proven that if K is a convex body with volume 1 and r1Bn2 (?) K (?) r2Bn2,(r1≥1/2, r2≤(?)/2), then (?) ≤(?) and find the conditions with equality. Further, the geometric characteristic of isotropic bodies is shown.

A variational problem for submanifolds in a sphere

Let be an n-dimensional submanifold in an (n + p)-dimensional unit sphere S ^{n + p} , M is called a Willmore submanifold (see [11], [16]) if it is a critical submanifold to the Willmore functional , where is the square of the length of the second fundamental form, H is the mean curvature of M. In [11], the second author proved an integral inequality of Simons’ type for n-dimensional compact Willmore submanifolds in S ^{n + p} . In this paper, we discover that a similar integral inequality of Simons’ type still holds for the critical submanifolds of the functional . Moreover, it has the advantage that the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation is simpler than the Willmore equation.

Regularized sums of half-integer powers of a Sturm-Liouville operator

We investigate the question of the regularized sums of part of the eigenvalues z_n (lying along a direction) of a Sturm-Liouville operator. The first regularized sum is $$\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {(z_n - n - \frac{{c_1 }}{n} + \frac{2}{\pi } \cdot z_n arctg \frac{1}{{z_n }} - \frac{2}{\pi }) = \frac{{B_2 }}{2} - c_1 \cdot \gamma + \int_1^\infty {\left[ {R(z) - \frac{{l_0 }}{{\sqrt z }} - \frac{{l_1 }}{z} - \frac{{l_2 }}{{z\sqrt z }}} \right]} } \sqrt z dz,$$ where the z_n are eigenvalues lying along the positive semi-axis, z _n ² =λ_n, $$l_0 = \frac{\pi }{2}, l_1 = - \frac{1}{2}, l_2 = - \frac{1}{4}\int_0^\pi {q(x) dx,} c_1 = - \frac{2}{\pi }l_2 ,$$ , B₂ is a Bernoulli number, γ is Euler's constant, and \(R(z)\) is the trace of the resolvent of a Sturm-Liouville operator.
