Projections,Birkhoff Orthogonality and Angles in Normed Spaces

Let X be a Minkowski plane, i.e., a real two dimensional normed linear space. We use projections to give a definition of the angle Aq（x, y） between two vectors x and y in X, such that x is Birkhoff orthogonal to y if and only if Aq（x,y）=π/2. Some other properties of this angle are also discussed.     

K-controllability and Approximate K-controllability of Nonlinear Neutral Systems in Banach Spaces

In this paper, K-controllability and approximate K-controllability of non- linear neutral differential equations in Banach spaces are studied. Sufficient conditions are established for each of these types of controllability. The results are obtained by using Leray-Schauder theory.

In this paper we investigate the estimator for the rth power of the scale parameter in a class of exponential family under symmetric entropy loss L（θ, δ） = v（θ/δ ＋ δ/θ - 2）. An exact form of the minimum risk equivariant estimator under symmetric entropy loss is given, and the minimaxity of the minimum risk equivariant estimator is proved. The results with regard to admissibility and inadmissibility of a class of linear estimators of the form cT（X） ＋ d are given, where T（X） Gamma（v, θ）.     

Ricci Curvature of Certain Submanifolds in Kenmotsu Space Forms

In this paper, we obtain some sharp inequalities between the Ricci cur- vature and the squared mean curvature for bi-slant and semi-slant submanifolds in Kenmotsu space forms. Estimates of the scalar curvature and the k-Ricci curvature, in terms of the squared mean curvature, are also proved respectively.     

Operator Equations and Duality Mappings in Sobolev Spaces with Variable Exponents

After studying in a previous work the smoothness of the space UΓ0={u∈W1,p(·)(Ω);u=0 on Γ0 Γ=Ω},where dΓ-measΓ0>0,with p(·)∈C(Ω)and p(x)>1 for all x∈Ω,the authors study in this paper the strict and uniform convexity as well as some special properties of duality mappings defined on the same space.The results obtained in this direction are used for proving existence results for operator equations having the form Ju=Nfu,where J is a duality mapping on UΓ0 corresponding to the gauge function,and Nf is the Nemytskij operator generated by a Carath′eodory function f satisfying an appropriate growth condition ensuring that Nf may be viewed as acting from UΓ0 into its dual.     

On the Clique-Transversal Number in （Claw,K4）-Free 4-Regular Graphs

A clique-transversal set D of a graph G is a set of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G.The clique-transversal number,denoted by τC(G),is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G.In this paper,we first present a lower bound on τC(G) and characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound for a connected(claw,K4)-free 4-regular graph G.Furthermore,we show that for any 2-connected(claw,K4)-free 4-regular graph G of order n,its clique-transversal number equals to [n/3].

In this paper, we establish a second-order sufficient condition for constrained optimization problems of a class of so called t-stable functions in terms of the first-order and the second-order Dini type directional derivatives. The result extends the corresponding result of [D. Bednarik and K. Pastor, Math. Program. Ser. A, 113（2008）, 283-298] to constrained optimization problems.

On the rigidity theorems for lagrangian translating solitons in pseudo-Euclidean space I

Let f be a smooth strictly convex solution of
defined on a domain Ω C R^n, where ai, bi and c are constants. Then the graph Mvf of △f is a spacelike translating soliton for mean curvature flow in pseudo-Euclidean space with the translating vector（al, a2, . ., an; bz, b2, , bn）. In this paper, we will use alCfine technique to show a Berustein Theorem： if the graph Mvf is complete, then f（x） must be a quadratic polynomial and Mvf is an ailine n-plane.     

Fault-free Hamiltonian cycles passing through a prescribed linear forest in 3-ary n-cube with faulty edges

The k-ary n-cube Qkn （n ≥2 and k ≥3） is one of the most popular interconnection networks. In this paper, we consider the problem of a fault- free Hamiltonian cycle passing through a prescribed linear forest （i.e., pairwise vertex-disjoint paths） in the 3-ary n-cube Qn^3 with faulty edges. The following result is obtained. Let E0 （≠θ） be a linear forest and F （≠θ） be a set of faulty edges in Q3 such that E0∩ F = 0 and ｜E0｜ ＋｜F｜ ≤ 2n - 2. Then all edges of E0 lie on a Hamiltonian cycle in Qn^3- F, and the upper bound 2n - 2 is sharp.     

Real-time accurate Free-Form Deformation in terms of triangular Bezier surfaces

On pricing of corporate securities in the case of jump-diffusion

Structural models of credit risk are known to present vanishing spreads at very short maturitiesThis shortcoming, which is due to the diffusive behavior assumed for asset values, can be circumvented by considering discontinuities of the jump type in their evolution over timeIn this paper, we extend the pricing model for corporate bond and determine the default probability in jump-diffusion model to address this issueTo make the problem clearly,we first investigate the case that the firm value follows a geometric Brownian motion under similar assumptions to those in Black and Scholes(1973), Briys and de Varenne(1997), i.e, the default barrier is KD(t, T) and the recovery rate is(1- ω), where D(t, T) is the price of zero coupon default free bond and ω is a constant(0 ω≤ 1)By changing the numeraire, we obtain the closed-form solution for both the price of bond and default probabilityFurther, we consider the case of jump-diffusion and suppose that a firm will go bankruptcy if its value Vt ≤ KD(t, T)and at the same time, the bondholder will receive(1- ω)Vt KBy introducing the Green function of PDE with absorbing boundary and converting the problem to an II-type Volterra integral equation, we get the closed-form expressions in series form for bond price and corresponding default probabilityNumerical results are presented to show the impact of different parameters to credit spread of bond.     

Bubble tree convergence for the harmonic sequence of harmonic surfaces in ℂℙ n

We show that any harmonic sequence determined by a harmonic map from a compact Riemannian surface M to CP^n has a terminating holomorphic （or anti-holomorphic） map from M to CP^n, or a ＂bubble tree limit＂ consisting of a harmonic map f： M → CP^n and a tree of bubbles hλ^μ： S^2 --→ CP^n.     

Fixed Point Theory for 1-Set Weakly Contractive Operators in Banach Spaces

In this work, using an analogue of Sadovskii＇s fixed point result and several important inequalities we investigate and give new existence theorems for the nonlinear operator equation F（x） =μx, （μ≥1） for some weakly sequentially continuous, weakly condensing and weakly 1-set weakly contractive operators with different boundary conditions. Correspondingly, we can obtain some applicable fixed point theorems of Leray-Schauder, Altman and Furi-Pera types in the weak topology setting which generalize and improve the corresponding results of [3,15,16].     

Small Compact Perturbation of Operators in B∞（Ω）

Abstract： We consider an approximation problem related to strongly irreducible operators, that is, does the direct sum of a strongly irreducible operator in B∞（Ω） and certain operator have a small compact perturbation which is a strongly irreducible operator in B∞（Ω）？ In this paper, we prove that the direct sum of any strongly irreducible operator in B∞（Ω） and certain biquasitriangular operator have small compact perturbations which are strongly irreducible operators in B∞（Ω）.

Sharp upper bounds for \lambda _1^{L_r } of immersed hypersurfaces and their stability in space forms

In this paper we derive new sharp upper bounds for the first positive eigenvalue λ1^Lr of the linearized operator of the higher order mean curvature of a closed hypersurface immersed into a Riemannian space form R^（n＋l）（c） （c 〉 0）. Our bounds are extrinsic in the sense that they are given in terms of the higher order mean curvatures. Under the assumption Hr＋2 〉 0, by establishing two valuable integral formulas, we obtain unified sharp upper bounds of λ1^Lr. We also give an estimation of the upper bounds of the first eigenvalue of a SchrSdinger-type operator, by which we prove those hypersurfaces with positive constant Hr＋l in any space forms are stable if and only if they are geodesic spheres, thus generalizing the previous result obtained only in the case c≤0.

Spaces of vector-valued Dirichlet series in a half plane

Dirichlet series with real frequencies which represent entire functions on the complex plane C have been investigated by many authors. Several properties such as topological structures, linear continuous functionals, and bases have been considered. Le Hai Khoi derived some results with Dirichlet series having negative real frequencies which represent holomorphic functions in a half plane. In the present paper, we have obtained some properties of holomorphic Dirichlet series having positive exponents, whose coefficients belong to a Banach algebra.
