Application of Topological Degree to the Study of Bifurcation in von Kármán Equations

The aim of this paper is to illustrate the use of topological degree for the study of bifurcation in von Kármán equations with two real positive parameters and for a thin elastic disk lying on the elastic base under the action of a compressing force, which may be written in the form of an operator equation F(x, , ) = 0 in some real Banach spaces X and Y. The bifurcation problem that we study is a mathematical model for a certain physical phenomenon and it is very important in the mechanics of elastic constructions. We reduce the bifurcation problem in the solution set of equation F(x, , ) = 0 at a point (0, ₀, ₀) X × IR ₊ ² to the bifurcation problem in the solution set of a certain equation in IR ⁿ at a point (0, ₀, ₀) IR ⁿ × IR ₊ ², where n = dim Ker F _x (0, ₀, ₀) and F _x (0, ₀, ₀): X Y is a Fréchet derivative of F with respect to x at (0, ₀, ₀). To solve the bifurcation problem obtained as a result of reduction, we apply homotopy and degree theory.

Erratum to “Affine surfaces in R4 with planar geodesics with respect to the affine metric”

In this work a mistake in the paper is corrected. There is also a new proof of the main theorem which classifies the non-degenerate affine surfaces in R ⁴ having planar geodesics with respect to the affine metric.     

Topological influence of the presence of fully-λ-bases in locally convex spaces

This article reveals the topological impact of fully--bases in locally convex spaces where carries either the traditional normal topology or the fairly generalized-topology of Ruckle. It has been established that the generalized nuclearity of plays a significant role in influencing the topology of the space. Further, the equivalence of normal topology and the topology arising out of the fully--base ( being equipped with normal topology or-topology) has been investigated.We acknowledge with thanks the suggestions of the referee.     

Erratum to: Integration of the Continual System of Nonlinear Interaction Waves

We derive the continual system of nonlinear interaction waves from the compatibility of the transport equation on the whole line and the equation governing the time-evolution of the eigenfunctions of the transport operator. The transport equation represents the continual generalization from the n-component system of first-order ordinary differential equations. The continual system describes a nonlinear interaction of waves. We prove that the continual system can be integrated by the inverse scattering method. The method is based on applying the results of the inverse scattering problem for the transport equation to finding the solution of the Cauchy initial-value problem for the continual system. Indeed, the transition operator for the scattering problem admits right and left Volterra factorizations. The intermediate operator for this problem determines the one-to-one correspondence between the preimages of a solution of the transport equation. This operator is related to the transition operator and admits not only right and left Volterra factorizations but also the analytic factorization. By virtue of this fact the potential in the transport equation is uniquely reconstructed in terms of the solutions of the fundamental equations in inverse problem.     

Erratum to “On a Classical Theorem on the Diameter and Minimum Degree of a Graph”

The original version of the article was published in[1]. Unfortunately, the original version of this article contains a mistake:in Theorem 6.2 appears that β(n, Δ)=(n-Δ+5)/4 but the correct statement is β(n, Δ)=(n-Δ+4)/4. In this erratum we correct the theorem and give the correct proof.     

Erratum to: Stability of Diffusion Coefficients in an Inverse Problem for the Lotka-Volterra Competition System

First we establish a Carleman estimate for Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion system of three equations with variable coefficients. Then the internal observations with two measurements are allowed to obtain the stability result for the inverse problem consisting of retrieving two smooth diffusion coefficients in the given parabolic system for the dimension n≤3. The proof of the results rely on Carleman estimates and certain energy estimates for parabolic system.     

Topological structures ofθ-subsets in symplectic groups

All the symplectic matrices possessing a fixed eigenvalueθ on the unit circle form a hypersurface in the real symplectic group Sp(2n). This paper is devoted to the study of the topological structures of this hypersurface and its complement in Sp(2n). Partially supported by NNSF and MCSEC of China and Qiu Shi Sci. Tech.

Singular integrals in the Cesàro sense

The existence of the singular integral ∫K(x, y)f(y)dy associated to a Calderón-Zygmund kernel where the integral is understood in the principal value sense TF(x)=lim_ε→0+∫_|x−y|>εK(x, y)f(y)dy has been well studied. In this paper we study the existence of the above integral in the Cesàro-α sense. More precisely, we study the existence of

Topological structure of the space of composition operators onH ∞

Components and isolated points of the topological space of composition operators onH in the uniform operator topology are characterized. Compact differences of two composition operators are also characterized. With the aid of these results, we show that a component inC(H ) is not in general the set of all composition operators that differ from the given one by a compact operator.Supported by the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), the Ministory of Education, Science and Culture, No. 09640218, and the Nippon Institute of Technology No. 111Supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science

Functions on discrete sets holomorphic in the sense of Ferrand, or monodiffric functions of the second kind

We study the class of functions called monodiffric of the second kind by Isaac.They are discrete analogues of holomorphic functions of one or two complex variables.Discrete analogues of the Cauchy-Riemann operator,of domains of holomorphy in one discrete variable,and of the Hartogs phenomenon in two discrete variables are investigated.Two fundamental solutions to the discrete Cauchy-Riemann equation are studied:one with support in a quadrant,the other with decay at infinity.The first is easy to construct by induction;the second is accessed via its Fourier transform.

We study discrete analogues of holomorphic functions of one and two variables, especially those that were called monodiffric functions of the first kind by Rufus Isaacs. Discrete analogues of the Cauchy-Riemann operators, domains of holomorphy in one discrete variable, and the Hartogs phenomenon in two discrete variables are investigated.     

Fixed Points of Nonexpansive Type Mappings in Topological Spaces

Recently. Penot[1] and Kirk[2]obtained the abstract versions of Kirk's fixed point theorem of [3] for nonexpansive mappings, respectively. Gille spie and Williams [4, 5] replaced the reflexive and normal structure used in Kirk [3] and Kannan [6], by uniformly normal structure to obtain the fixed point theorems for nonexpansive and Kannan mappings. Kaukich [7] also extended the result of [3] to the generalized nonexpansive mappings.
