Homeomorphically irreducible spanning trees

We show that if G is a graph such that every edge is in at least two triangles, then G contains a spanning tree with no vertex of degree 2 (a homeomorphically irreducible spanning tree). This result was originally asked in a question format by Albertson, Berman, Hutchinson, and Thomassen in 1979, and then conjectured to be true by Archdeacon in 2009.     

The cardinals below

The results of this paper concern the effective cardinal structure of the subsets of [ω₁]^<ω₁, the set of all countable subsets of ω₁. The main results include dichotomy theorems and theorems which show that the effective cardinal structure is complicated.     

Pseudoprime factorizations of integer matrices

We give a method of factoring integer matrices in into components such that the factorization is not unique unless certain information is known. In Section 2, we introduce this method of factorization and provide theorems which establish its well-definedness. In Section 3, we construct a matrix in as a product of specific types of matrices and establish an algorithm for factoring the result uniquely given an amount of information.     

The equation on weakly pseudo-convex CR manifolds of dimension 3

Let M be a smooth, compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension 3, embedded in (N2), of codimension one or more, and endowed with the induced CR structure. Assuming that the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator has closed range in L²(M) in order to rule out the Rossi example, we push regularity up to show has closed range in H^s(M) for all s>0. We then use the Szegö projection to show there is a smooth solution for the problem given smooth data. The results are obtained via microlocalization by piecing together estimates for functions and (0,1) forms that hold on different microlocal regions.     

On a signless Laplacian spectral characterization of -shape trees

Let M be an associated matrix of a graph G (the adjacency, Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrix). Two graphs are said to be cospectral with respect to M if they have the same M spectrum. A graph is said to be determined by M spectrum if there is no other non-isomorphic graph with the same spectrum with respect to M. It is shown that T-shape trees are determined by their Laplacian spectra. Moreover among them those are determined by their adjacency spectra are characterized. In this paper, we identify graphs which are cospectral to a given T-shape tree with respect to the signless Laplacian matrix. Subsequently, T-shape trees which are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra are identified.     

The SC property of an expected residual function arising from stochastic complementarity problems

The stochastic nonlinear complementarity problem has been recently reformulated as an expected residual minimization problem which minimizes an expected residual function defined by an NCP function. In this work, we show that the expected residual function defined by the Fischer–Burmeister function is an function.     

Quantized symplectic oscillator algebras of rank one

A quantized symplectic oscillator algebra of rank 1 is a PBW deformation of the smash product of the quantum plane with . We study its representation theory, and in particular, its category .     

Projective functors for algebraic groups

We investigate the regular subquotient category introduced by Soergel in [W. Soergel, On the relation between intersection cohomology and representation theory in positive characteristic, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 152 (1–3) (2000) 311–335]. A detailed study of projective functors enables one to relate those categories for semi-simple algebraic group G and its subgroup schemata G_rT. As an application we derive some information about the characters of tilting modules for G.     

Reznichenko families of trees and their applications

Examples of Talagrand, Gul'ko and Corson compacta resulting from Reznichenko families of trees are presented. The K_σδ property for weakly -analytic Banach spaces with an unconditional basis is proved.     

Approximation theorems for localized szsz–Mirakjan operators

In the present paper, we investigate the convergence and the approximation order of the localized Szsz–Mirakjan operators, and obtain some new results to improve the results due to Omey [Note on operators of Szsz–Mirakjan type, J. Approx. Theory 47 (1986) 246–254].     

Minimum degree conditions for -linked graphs

For a fixed multigraph H with vertices w₁,…,w_m, a graph G is H-linked if for every choice of vertices v₁,…,v_m in G, there exists a subdivision of H in G such that v_i is the branch vertex representing w_i (for all i). This generalizes the notions of k-linked, k-connected, and k-ordered graphs.Given a connected multigraph H with k edges and minimum degree at least two and n7.5k, we determine the least integer d such that every n-vertex simple graph with minimum degree at least d is H-linked. This value D(H,n) appears to equal the least integer d^′ such that every n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least d^′ is b(H)-connected, where b(H) is the maximum number of edges in a bipartite subgraph of H.     

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for semilinear elliptic equations with Hardy terms and Hardy–Sobolev critical exponents

Some existence and multiplicity results are obtained for solutions of semilinear elliptic equations with Hardy terms, Hardy–Sobolev critical exponents and superlinear nonlinearity by the variational methods and some analysis techniques.     

A non-splitting theorem in the enumeration degrees

We complete a study of the splitting/non-splitting properties of the enumeration degrees below by proving an analog of Harrington’s non-splitting theorem for the enumeration degrees. We show how non-splitting techniques known from the study of the c.e. Turing degrees can be adapted to the enumeration degrees.     

Asymptotic constancy for a differential equation with multiple state-dependent delays

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a differential equation with multiple state-dependent delays. It is shown that every bounded solution of such an equation tends to a constant as t→∞. Our results improve and extend some corresponding ones already known.     

On nonatomic submeasures on . II

It is shown that if two submeasures on that are lim sup's of sequences of measures have the same zero sets, and one is nonatomic, so is the other, and they are (ε-δ)-equivalent. Moreover, if a submeasure η is the lim sup of a sequence of lower semi-continuous (lsc) submeasures and is 0-dominated by the so-called core γ^• of an lsc submeasure γ, then η is also (ε-δ)-dominated by γ^•. And if a submeasure η of this type is 0-dominated by a nonatomic submeasure, then it is nonatomic as well.     

Schurian vector space categories, hereditary algebras and Roiter's norm

We associate a positive real number to any vector space K-category over a field K. Generalizing a result of Nazarova and Roiter, we show that a schurian vector space K-category is representation-finite if and only if is finite and . Such vector space categories are quasilinear, i.e. its indecomposables are simple modules over their endomorphism ring. Recently, Nazarova and Roiter introduced the concept of -faithful poset in order to clarify the structure of critical posets. Their conjecture on the precise form of -faithful posets was established by Zeldich. We generalize these results and characterize -faithful quasilinear vector space K-categories in terms of a class of hereditary algebras H_ρ(D) parametrized by a skew-field D and a rational number ρ1.
