About generalized ideals in a distributive lattice

Let L be a distributive lattice characterized by a ternary operation (, ,), where (a,b,c)=(ab)(bc)(ac)=(ab)(ac)(bc), a,b,cL. The note considers convex sublattices of L, called generalized ideals of L generated by the operation (, ,). Some remarks have been stated about the graph of a distributive lattice.     

Stellare Abänderungen und Schälbarkeit von Komplexen und Polytopen

Brugesser and Mani proved that the boundary-complex of a convex polytope can be shelled. This result lead to McMullen's proof of the Upper-bound-conjecture. We show that the shellability of complexes has a close connection to the theory of stellar operations. Several results on special shelling procedures and on non-shellable complexes are obtained.     

Nonexistence of new order-9 projective plane with order-13 collineation

The order-9 Desarguesian projective plane and the known self-dual non-Desarguesian plane (Carmichael or Hughes plane) each have a 13-collineation displacing all points and all lines. We show that no previously undiscovered 9-plane has this property.     

General procedures leading to correlated equilibria

Hart and Mas-Colell [2000] show that if all players play regret-matching strategies, i.e., they play with probabilities proportional to the regrets, then the empirical distribution of play converges to the set of correlated equilibria, and the regrets of every player converge to zero. Here we show that if only one player, say player i, plays with these probabilities, while the other players are not too sophisticated, then the result that player is regrets converge to zero continues to hold. The condition of not too sophisticated essentially says that the effect of one change of action of player i on the future actions of the other players decreases to zero as the horizon goes to infinity. Furthermore, we generalize all these results to a whole class of regret-based strategies introduced in Hart and Mas-Colell [2001]. In particular, these simplify the conditional smooth fictitious play of Fudenberg and Levine [1999].Received: May 2004This is a revision of the authors M.Sc. thesis, May 2000.The author thanks Professor Sergiu Hart for his help and guidance, and the Associate Editor and an anonymous referee for their comments.

The focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with finite-density boundary conditions as |x| is considered. The asymptotic behavior of the solution ast is investigated by means of the complex theory of deformations of Whitham.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 104, No. 3, pp. 393–419, September, 1995.     

Optimal Controller for the Almost Exact Guidance of a Singularly Perturbed System to Zero

The method of penalty functions is used to construct an optimal controller that guides a singularly perturbed system (vehicle) into a small neighborhood of a specified (target) position. It is proved that the convergence of the path of the vehicle to the exact-guidance path as the penalty coefficient increases without bound is uniform with respect to a singular parameter.

An algorithm for constructing an optimal structural schedule

The article is devoted to the problem of finding an optimal schedule for a class of functionals ƒ which allows for the existence of a structural set of activities. The functionalƒ(R), where, is defined in the following way: where {_i(t)} is a structural set of functions, and the function F is defined on any finite set of arguments and satisfies the following conditions: 1)F(x)=(x); 2) F(x₁,x₂)=(x₁,x₂), F(x₁,x₂,...x₃)= (x₁, F(x₂,...,x_s)), S2; 3) and do not decrease in each of their arguments, and moreover, 3a) strictly increases with the increase of both arguments, 3b) if (x₁,x₂)>(x₁, x₂ (x₂, x₃)> (x₂,x₃), then F(x₁,x₂,x₃)>F(x₁,x₂,x₃).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Quasiclassical asymptotic behavior of the scattering cross section for asymptotically homogeneous potentials

One considers the total scattering cross section on the potential gV(x), x^m, m3, for large values of the coupling constant g and of the wave number k. One assumes that V(x)(x/|1x|)|x|^–, 2>m+1, as ¦x¦. It is shown that for gk^–1 , g^3–ak^2(a–2) the scattering cross section is equal asymptotically to _a(gk^–1), x=(m–1)(–1)^–1. Here the coefficient _a is determined only by the function and the number . Under the additional conditions >0, V>0, the indicated asymptotic behavior holds in the large domain gk^–1 , gk^a–z c(gk^–1), >0.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Further results on the covering radii of the Reed-Muller codes

LetR(r, m) by therth order Reed-Muller code of length2 ^m , and let (r, m) be its covering radius. We obtain the following new results on the covering radius ofR(r, m): 1. (r+1,m+2) 2(r, m)+2 if 0rm–2. This improves the successive use of the known inequalities (r+1,m+2)2(r+1,m+1) and (r+1,m+1) (r, m).2.(2, 7)44. Previously best known upper bound for (2, 7) was 46. 3. The covering radius ofR(1,m) inR(m–1,m) is the same as the covering radius ofR(1,m) inR(m–2,m) form4.     

Positivity and Stability for One-Sided Coupled Operator Matrices

Many evolutionary systems can be described by an abstract Cauchy problem governed by an operator matrix. Assuming this problem to be one-sided coupled and well-posed we study in this paper the positivity and the stability of the associated matrix semigroup. The abstract results are illustrated by several examples.     

Cocycles d'Euler et de Maslov

Conclusion Nous espérons avoir convaincu le lecteur qu'il peut être utile de considérer la classe de Maslov comme une classe bornée. Dans [Gh], nous avons montré que la classe d'Euler bornée pour un groupe d'homéomorphismes directs du cercle rend compte de la dynamique topologique de ce groupe. Existe-t-il un résultat analogue pour Sp(2n,)? En d'autres termes, soit un groupe discret et ₁, ₂ deux représentations de dans Sp(2n,). On suppose que les cocycles ₁ ^* et ₂ ^* définissent la même classe bornée. Que peut-on en conclure sur ₁ et ₂?Par ailleurs, l'article [At l] traite aussi d'invariants sur SL(2,) différents de ceux que nous avons considérés, comme par exemple les fonctionsL de Shimizu. Est-il possible de les faire rentrer naturellement dans notre cadre?

Ond-folds whose canonical bundle is not numerically effective,according to Mori and Kawamata

Sunto In questo lavoro si studiano le varietà non singolari di dimensione d il cui divisore canonico non è numericamente effettivo e si estendono alcuni dei risultati ottenuti da Mori nel caso d=3. CiÒ viene ottenuto mediante un uso sistematico della teoria di Mori dei raggi estremali e di un forte teorema di Kawamata-Shokurov. Quest'ultimo risultato fornisce una varietà normale Y e un morfismo : X Y che contrae un raggio estremale R e che dá la struttura di X. Se R è numericamente effettivo, dimY     

The PT-order and the fixed point property

The PT-order, or passing through order, of a poset P is a quasi order defined on P so that ab holds if and only if every maximal chain of P which passes throug a also passes through b. We show that if P is chain complete, then it contains a subset X which has the properties that (i) each element of X is -maximal, (ii) X is a -antichain, and (iii) X is -dominating; we call such a subset a -good subset of P. A -good subset is a retract of P and any two -good subsets are order isomorphic. It is also shown that if P is chain complete, then it has the fixed point property if and only if a -good subset also has the fixed point property. Since a retract of a chain complete poset is also chain complete, the construction may be iterated transfinitely. This leads to the notion of the core of P (a -good subset of itself) which is the transfinite analogue of the core of a finite poset obtained by dismantling.Research partially supported by grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and The Natural Science Foundation of Shaanxi province.Research supported by NSERC grant #69-0982.     

On a pair of functional equations of combinatorial interest

The equations of the title appear in the author's paper Chromatic Sums for Rooted Planar Triangulations, V: Special Equations. (Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 26 (1974), 893–907). They appear in that paper as Equations (24) and (25). They are simultaneous equations for two unknown functionsl andy ₂ of two variablesy ₁ andz. A parameter is involved. The main result is that for = 2 cos (2/n), wheren is a positive integer >1, the two equations can be reduced to a single equation (numbered (49)). Solutions of this are known forn <7. From such solutions we can expect to get information about the averaged chromatic polynomials of planar triangulations with a given number of triangles.The present work is basically an expository paper on the theory given in Chromatic Sums, V, but it includes some new results and many simplifications.     

Extremal problems in classes of univalent functions,omitting prescribed values

Section 1 of the paper is devoted to extremal problems in the classes of conformal homeomorphisms of the circle and the annulus, connected directly with the problem on the maximum of the conformal modulus in the family of doubly connected domains. In Secs. 2 and 3 one considers the class R of functions f()=c₁+c₂²+... regular and univalent in the circleU={||<1} and such that f(₁)f(₂)=1 for ₁₂U (the class of Bieberbach-Eilenberg functions). Here one solves the problem of the maximum of |f(₀)| in the class of functions f()R with a fixed value f(₀, where ₀ is an arbitrary point U, and of the maximum of |f(₀)| in the entire class R. For the proof one makes use of the method of the moduli of families of curves.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Existence of compatible families of proper regular conditional probabilities

Summary Let (, , ) be a perfect probability space with countably generated, and let IB be a family of sub--fields of . Under a countability condition on the family IB, I show that there exists a family {}_IB of regular conditional probabilities which are everywhere compatible. Under a more stringent condition on IB, I show that the can furthermore be chosen to be everywhere proper. It follows that in the Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle formulation of the statistical mechanics of classical lattice systems, every (perfect) probability measure is a Gibbs measure for some specification.Research supported in part by NSF PHY-78-23952NSF Predoctoral Fellow (1976–79) and Danforth Fellow (1979–81).     

Periodic behavior of the stochastic Brusselator in the mean-field limit

Summary We prove a propagation of chaos result for the mean-field limit of a model for a trimolecular chemical reaction called Brusselator. Then we show that the pair of nonlinear (i.e. law-dependent) stochastic differential equations describing the evolution of the concentration of the molecules at a given site in the mean field limit has a solution with a periodic law (in t). Finally we identify the limit and establish a central limit theorem for the periodic law in the case where the noise tends to zero.Part of this work was performed while on leave at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada and supported by NSERC operating grants of M.
