New expressions of the modified generalized integral transform via the translation theorem with applications

In this paper, we obtain very natural basic formulas for the modified generalized integral transform (MGIT) on function space. In order to do this, we first introduce an MGIT of functionals on function space. We next establish some basic formulas with respect to the MGIT and the first variation. Finally, we obtain a new version of the Cameron–Storvick theorem via the translation theorem. Some applications are demonstrated as examples which are used in classification of nanoparticles.     

An extension of the pairing theory between divergence-measure fields and BV functions

In this paper we introduce a nonlinear version of the notion of Anzellotti's pairing between divergence-measure vector fields and functions of bounded variation, motivated by possible applications to evolutionary quasilinear problems. As a consequence of our analysis, we prove a generalized Gauss–Green formula.     

Pseudocomplementation and minimal prime ideals in semirings

In Section 2 of the present paper, we introduce the concept of pseudocomplementation for semirings and show the semiring version of some known results in lattice theory. We also introduce semirings with pc-functions and prove some interesting results for minimal prime ideals of such semirings. In Section 3, some classical results for minimal prime ideals in ring theory are generalized in the context of semiring theory.     

Some considerations on amoeba forcing notions

In this paper we analyse some notions of amoeba for tree forcings. In particular we introduce an amoeba-Silver and prove that it satisfies quasi pure decision but not pure decision. Further we define an amoeba-Sacks and prove that it satisfies the Laver property. We also show some application to regularity properties. We finally present a generalized version of amoeba and discuss some interesting associated questions.     

Differential calculus and integration of generalized functions over membranes

In this paper we continue the development of the differential calculus started in Aragona et al. (Monatsh. Math. 144:13–29, 2005). Guided by the so-called sharp topology and the interpretation of Colombeau generalized functions as point functions on generalized point sets, we introduce the notion of membranes and extend the definition of integrals, given in Aragona et al. (Monatsh. Math. 144:13–29, 2005), to integrals defined on membranes. We use this to prove a generalized version of the Cauchy formula and to obtain the Goursat Theorem for generalized holomorphic functions. A number of results from classical differential and integral calculus, like the inverse and implicit function theorems and Green’s theorem, are transferred to the generalized setting. Further, we indicate that solution formulas for transport and wave equations with generalized initial data can be obtained as well.     

Localization of Generalized Normal Maps and Stability of Variational Inequalities in Reflexive Banach Spaces

In this paper, we introduce a localized version of generalized normal maps as well as generalized natural mappings. By using these concepts, we study continuity properties of the solution map of parametric variational inequalities in reflexive Banach spaces. This localization permits us to deal with variational conditions posed on sets that may not be convex and to establish existence and continuity of solutions. We also establish homeomorhisms between the solution set of variational inequalities and the solution set of generalized normal maps. Using these homeomorphisms and the degree theory, we show that the solution map of parametric variational inequalities is lower semicontinuous. Our results extend some results of Robinson (Set-Valued Anal 12:259–274, 2004). The authors wish to express their sincere appreciation to Professor Stephen M. Robinson, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, for his valuable comments and suggestions. This research was partially supported by a grant from National Science Council of Taiwan, ROC.     

Generalized Angles in Ptolemaic Möbius Structures. II

We continue studying the BAD class of multivalued mappings of Ptolemaic Möbius structures in the sense of Buyalo with controlled distortion of generalized angles. In Möbius structures we introduce a Möbius-invariant version of the HTB property (homogeneous total boundedness) of metric spaces which is qualitatively equivalent to the doubling property. We show that in the presence of this property and the uniform perfectness property, a single-valued mapping is of the BAD class iff it is quasimöbius.     

Projectively related complex Finsler metrics

In this paper we introduce in study the projectively related complex Finsler metrics. We prove the complex versions of the Rapcsák’s theorem and characterize the weakly Kähler and generalized Berwald projectively related complex Finsler metrics. The complex version of Hilbert’s Fourth Problem is also pointed out. As an application, the projectiveness of a complex Randers metric is described.     

Paths to stability and uniqueness in two-sided matching markets

The deferred acceptance algorithm introduced by Gale and Shapley is a centralized algorithm, where a social planner solicits the preferences from two sides of a market and generates a stable matching. On the other hand, the algorithm proposed by Knuth is a decentralized algorithm. In this article, we discuss conditions leading to the convergence of Knuth’s decentralized algorithm. In particular, we show that Knuth’s decentralized algorithm converges to a stable matching if either the Sequential Preference Condition (SPC) holds or if the market admits no cycle. In fact, acyclicity turns out to be a special case of SPC. We then consider markets where agents may prefer to remain single rather than being matched with someone. We introduce a generalized version of SPC for such markets. Under this notion of generalized SPC, we show that the market admits a unique stable matching, and that Knuth’s decentralized algorithm converges. The generalized SPC seems to be the most general condition available in the literature for uniqueness in two-sided matching markets.     

Pontryagin-de Branges-Rovnyak spaces of slice hyperholomorphic functions

We study reproducing kernel Hilbert and Pontryagin spaces of slice hyperholomorphic functions. These are analogs of the Hilbert spaces of analytic functions introduced by de Branges and Rovnyak. In the first part of the paper, we focus on the case of Hilbert spaces and introduce, in particular, a version of the Hardy space. Then we define Blaschke factors and Blaschke products and consider an interpolation problem. In the second part of the paper, we turn to the case of Pontryagin spaces. We first prove some results from the theory of Pontryagin spaces in the quaternionic setting and, in particular, a theorem of Shmulyan on densely defined contractive linear relations. We then study realizations of generalized Schur functions and of generalized Carathéodory functions.     

Fonctions constructibles et intégration motivique I

We introduce a direct image formalism for constructible motivic functions. One deduces a very general version of motivic integration for which a change of variables theorem is proved. These constructions are generalized to the relative framework, in which we develop a relative version of motivic integration. To cite this article: R. Cluckers, F. Loeser, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 339 (2004).     

Liouville-type results for stationary maps of a class of functional related to pullback metrics

We study a generalized functional related to the pullback metrics (3). We derive the first variation formula which yield stationary maps. We introduce the stress–energy tensor which is naturally linked to conservation law and yield the monotonicity formula via the coarea formula and the comparison theorem in Riemannian geometry. A version of this monotonicity inequalities enables us to derive some Liouville type results. Also, we investigate the constant Dirichlet boundary value problems and the generalized Chern type results for tension field equation with respect to this functional.     

Local cohomology based on a nonclosed support defined by a pair of ideals

We introduce a generalization of the notion of local cohomology module, which we call a local cohomology module with respect to a pair of ideals (I,J), and study its various properties. Some vanishing and nonvanishing theorems are given for this generalized version of local cohomology. We also discuss its connection with ordinary local cohomology.     

Degenerate Sklyanin algebras and generalized twisted homogeneous coordinate rings

In this work, we introduce the point parameter ring B, a generalized twisted homogeneous coordinate ring associated to a degenerate version of the three-dimensional Sklyanin algebra. The surprising geometry of these algebras yields an analogue to a result of Artin–Tate–van den Bergh, namely that B is generated in degree one and thus is a factor of the corresponding degenerate Sklyanin algebra.     

Generalized Igusa–Todorov function and finitistic dimensions

We introduce a new function from the bounded derived category of a finite dimensional algebra over a field to the set of all natural numbers, which is a generalized version of the Igusa–Todorov function. Then we extend the results corresponding to the Igusa–Todorov function. As an application, we give a new proof of the finiteness of the finitistic dimension of special biserial algebras.     

Generalized Cartan Identities on Isoparametric Manifolds

We first introduce the concept of an isoparametric manifold, which is the natural generalization of the concept of an isoparametric hypersurface in a real space form and that of a space-like isoparametric hypersurface in a Lorentzian space form. Finally, we establish generalized Cartan identities for isoparametric manifolds. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

KKM mappings in metric spaces

We introduce the class of KKM-type mappings on metric spaces and establish some fixed point theorems for this class. We also obtain a generalized Fan's matching theorem, a generalized Fan–Browder's type theorem, and a new version of Fan's best approximation theorem.     

New Linear Codes Over \mathbb{F}_3 and \mathbb{F}_5 and Improvements on Bounds

One of the most important problems of coding theory is to constructcodes with best possible minimum distances. In this paper, we generalize the method introduced by [8] and obtain new codes which improve the best known minimum distance bounds of some linear codes. We have found a new linear ternary code and 8 new linear codes over with improved minimumdistances. First we introduce a generalized version of Gray map,then we give definition of quasi cyclic codes and introduce nearlyquasi cyclic codes. Next, we give the parameters of new codeswith their generator matrices. Finally, we have included twotables which give Hamming weight enumerators of these new codes.
