Proof Of A Conjecture Of Erdős On Triangles In Set-Systems

A triangle is a family of three sets A,B,C such that A∩B, B∩C, C∩A are each nonempty, and . Let be a family of r-element subsets of an n-element set, containing no triangle. Our main result implies that for r ≥ 3 and n ≥ 3r/2, we have This settles a longstanding conjecture of Erdős [7], by improving on earlier results of Bermond, Chvátal, Frankl, and Füredi. We also show that equality holds if and only if consists of all r-element subsets containing a fixed element. Analogous results are obtained for nonuniform families.     

On Boundary Stability of Wave Equations with Variable Coefficients

In this paper, we consider the boundary stabilization of the wave equation with variable coefficients by Riemmannian geometry method subject to a different geometric condition which is motivated by the geometric multiplier identities. Several (multiplier) identities (inequalities) which have been built for constant wave equation by Kormornik and Zuazua are generalized to the variable coefficient case by some computational techniques in Riemmannian geometry, so that the precise estimates on the exponential decay rate are derived from those inequalitities. Also, the exponential decay for the solutions of semilinear wave equation with variable coefficients is obtained under natural growth and sign assumptions on the nonlinearity. Our method is rather general and can be adapted to other evolution systems with variable coefficients (e.g. elasticity plates) as well.     

Remarks On The Regularity Of Weak Solutions Of The Navier–Stokes Equations

In this paper we extend the results of Foias–Guillopé–Temam on the regularity and a priori estimates for the weak solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. More specifically, we obtain upperbounds for the temporal averages of the Gevrey class norm for the weak solutions of the equations. The estimates are obtained first by getting integrated version of Foias–Temam's local in time estimate for Gevrey class norms of strong solutions and next by an induction procedure. We also strengthen slightly the local in time Gevrey class regularization of strong solutions.     

On Liapunov-Razumikhin Theorems for Stability in Functional Differential Equations

For the theory of stability in functional differential equations, Liapunov-Razumikhin method may be the most important one. In § 1 of thin paper, we obtain some Liapunov-Razumikhin theorems for stability of functional differential equations by employing the function V used in the papers [3], [4]. In §2, some simple criteria of asymptotic stability for a class of nonlinear     

Note On The Utility Of A Theorem Of Leindler–Meir–Totik

Our purpose is to generalize and to extend a theorem of S. Sharma and S. K. Varma [15] concerning the order of approximation by Abel means in the Lipschitz norm. The proof is basically based on a simple extension of a general theorem of L. Leindler, A. Meir and V. Totik [6] related to approximation by finite summability methods.     

On A Hypergraph Turán Problem Of Frankl

Let be the 2k-uniform hypergraph obtained by letting P₁, . . .,P_r be pairwise disjoint sets of size k and taking as edges all sets P_i∪P_j with i ≠ j. This can be thought of as the ‘k-expansion’ of the complete graph K_r: each vertex has been replaced with a set of size k. An example of a hypergraph with vertex set V that does not contain can be obtained by partitioning V = V1 ∪V₂ and taking as edges all sets of size 2k that intersect each of V₁ and V₂ in an odd number of elements. Let denote a hypergraph on n vertices obtained by this construction that has as many edges as possible. For n sufficiently large we prove a conjecture of Frankl, which states that any hypergraph on n vertices that contains no has at most as many edges as . Sidorenko has given an upper bound of for the Tur′an density of for any r, and a construction establishing a matching lower bound when r is of the form 2^p+1. In this paper we also show that when r=2^p+1, any -free hypergraph of density looks approximately like Sidorenko’s construction. On the other hand, when r is not of this form, we show that corresponding constructions do not exist and improve the upper bound on the Turán density of to , where c(r) is a constant depending only on r. The backbone of our arguments is a strategy of first proving approximate structure theorems, and then showing that any imperfections in the structure must lead to a suboptimal configuration. The tools for its realisation draw on extremal graph theory, linear algebra, the Kruskal–Katona theorem and properties of Krawtchouck polynomials. * Research supported in part by NSF grants DMS-0355497, DMS-0106589, and by an Alfred P.

A Generalization Of Reifenberg’s Theorem In {\mathbb{R}}^3

In 1960 Reifenberg proved the topological disc property. He showed that a subset of which is well approximated by m-dimensional affine spaces at each point and at each (small) scale is locally a bi-H?lder image of the unit ball in . In this paper we prove that a subset of which is well approximated in the Hausdorff distance sense by one of the three standard area-minimizing cones at each point and at each (small) scale is locally a bi-H?lder deformation of a minimal cone. We also prove an analogous result for more general cones in . Received: July 2006, Revised: August 2007, Accepted: January 2008     

A Phase Plane Analysis of the “Multi-Bubbling” Phenomenon in Some Slightly Supercritical Equations

The purpose of this paper is to present some recent results in two slightly super-critical problems known as the Brezis-Nirenberg problem in dimension n3 and an equation involving the exponential nonlinearity in dimension n2. For that purpose, we perform a phase plane analysis which emphasizes the common heuristic properties of the two problems, although more precise estimates can be obtained in some cases by variational methods.     

On the Existence of Smooth Solutions for Fully Nonlinear Parabolic Equations with Measurable “Coefficients” without Convexity Assumptions

We show that for any uniformly parabolic fully nonlinear second-order equation with bounded measurable “coefficients” and bounded “free” term in any cylindrical smooth domain with smooth boundary data one can find an approximating equation which has a unique continuous solution with the first derivatives bounded and the second spacial derivatives locally bounded. The approximating equation is constructed in such a way that it modifies the original one only for large values of the unknown function and its spacial derivatives.
