Semilattices of left reversible semigroups

Let S be a cancellative semigroup which is a semilattice of left reversible semigroups S, . This article studies the relationship between the group of quotients G of S and the groups of quotients G of S, . It is shown that G is the maximum group homomorphic image of an inverse semigroup which is a semilattice of groups G (up to isomorphism).The technique used here which involves the use of Ore's quotients also applies to the study of the maximum group homomorphic image of a semigroup which is a semilattice of inverse semigroups.     

Fredholm integro-differential equation

We consider numerical solution of an integro-differential equation with nonsmooth initspaial values. Unique solvability in Sobolev spaceW ₂ (0, 1), =1,2, is proved. We establish the rate of convergence of the approximate solution to the exact solution in fractional spacesW ₂ ⁺¹ , 01, with approximation order O(h ^++1/2 ) for 01/2 andO(h ⁺¹ |ln h|1/2, for 1/2 #x2264;1.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 64, pp. 8–16, 1988.     

Sur la convergence presque sure,au sens de Cesaro d'ordre α, 0<α<1, de variables aléatoires indepéndantes et identiquement distribuées

Summary We prove the following theorem: «Given 0<1, the (C, )-means of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables X _n converge a.s. iff E|X _n|^1/<.» For 1/2<1 and 0<<1/2 this result is essentially known. We give here a proof of the case =1/2; an important tool is a theorem of Hsu and Robbins [5].     

α-Convexity of Schlicht functions

Upper and lower bounds are obtained for the radius of-convexity, R, of the schlicht within ¦z¦< 1 functions g(z), g(0)=0, and g(0)=1, for values ranging from 0 to 0.313.... The exact value of R is determined for 0.313... < 1. The results constitute the solution to a problem recently posed by the Roumanianmathematician P. T. Mocanu [1].Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 227–232, February, 1972.     

Application of Hermite-Mahler polynomials to the approximation of the values ofp-adic exponential function

We shall give a further application of Hermite-Mahler polynomials to the consideration ofp-adic exponential function. An effective lower bound is obtained for max {| – | _p ,P(e )| _p }, where is an algebraic number satisfying || _p <p ^–/(p–1), and 0 is ap-adic number with | | _p depending on the degree of the polynomialPZ[y]. The bound obtained implies the transcendence ofe if ap-adic number satisfying 0 < || _p <p ^–/(p–1) is algebraic or can be well approximated by algebraic numbers.This work was carried out while the author was a research fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.     

A relationship between the Mahler measure and the discriminant of algebraic numbers

In this note we show that in the well-known Dobrowolski estimate lnM() (ln lnd/ lnd)3,d , where is a nonzero algebraic number of degreed that is not a root of unity andM() is its Mahler measure, the parameterd can be replaced by the quantity=d/() ^1/d, where () is the modulus of the discriminant of.

Über die Diskrepanz von Folgen in bewerteten Körpern

Let k be a field which is locally compact with respect to a valuation ||, let X denote the subset X={ k, ||1}. This paper is concerned with sequences of elements of X with respect to the theory of uniform distribution. Let D_N() denote the discrepancy of the sequence =(x_n). It is proved that for archimedian valuations with a certain constant for every sequence . In the non-archimedian case there exist sequences with .     

Concretely Locally Presentable and Locally Generated Categories

We give concrete versions of the characterizations of locally -presentable (resp. -generated) categories as categories of models of (resp. weakly) -ary limit-theories and of (resp. weakly) -ary essentially algebraic theories. By concrete we mean that starting with a category of -structures, the theories obtained are extensions of the original ones, and the equivalences of categories are concrete isomorphisms. -presentable and -generated objects are also investigated from this viewpoint.

The hydromagnetic viscous boundary layer at the free surface of a rotating baroclinic fluid

Steady, linear hydromagnetic boundary layer at the free surface of a rotating baroclinic fluid is analysed under Boussinesq approximation. The flow is driven by the buoyancy forces which exist due to the density variations associated with baroclinicity. Meridional circulations of mass flux and electric current flux occur due to the boundary layer suction as well as due to the hydromagnetic effects. The boundary layer suction dominates and the dynamics of the flow reduce to that of nonmagnetic case for ²<O(E), whereE is the Ekman number and ² (=B ₀ ² /) is the magnetic interaction parameter, which represents the ratio of hydromagnetic to Coriolis forces. When ²>O(E), meridional circulation induced in the interior due to hydromagnetic effects is stronger than that can be supported by the boundary layer. The electric current flux through the interior is stronger for any value of than that can be supported by the boundary layer. Further it is argued that hydromagnetic effects suppress the laminated flow (v/z0) in the interior. As a result, the meridional circulations are strong when =O(1).

Zusammenfassung Die stationäre lineare hydromagnetische Grenzschicht an der freien Oberfläche eines rotierenden, baroklinischen Fluids wird mit Hilfe der Boussinesq-Näherung untersucht. Die Strömung wird durch die Auftriebskräfte angetrieben, die durch die baroklinischen Dichte-Variationen verursacht werden. Die meridionale Zirkulation des Massenstromes und des elektrischen Stromes wird durch die Grenzschicht-Saugwirkung und durch hydromagnetische Effekte erzeugt. Die Grenzschicht-Saugwirkung dominiert und die Strömung reduziert sich auf den nicht-magnetischen Fall für ²<O(E); dabei istE die Ekman-Zahl und ² (=B ₀ ² /) ist der magnetische Kopplungs-Parameter, der das Verhältnis der hydromagnetischen zu den Coriolis-Kräften gibt. Wenn ²>O(E) ist, wird die meridionale Zirkulation, die durch hydromagnetische Effekte erzeugt worden ist, stärker als die, welche durch Grenzschichten erzeugt werden kann. Der elektrische Strom im Innern ist für alle Werte von größer als der Wert den die Grenzschicht verursacht. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, daß hydromagnetische Effekte die Laminal-Strömung (v/z0) im Innern unterdrückt. Es ergibt sich, daß die meridionalen Zirkulationen stark sind für =O(1).

     

A method to obtain some similarity solutions to the generalized Newtonian fluid

It is shown that a similarity solution to the Rayieigh flow problem for a generalized Newtonian fluid exists if the fluid boundary (y=0) is given a velocityU(t) t ^1/2. Furthermore, if the fluid is of the power-law type then similarity solutions exist ifU(t) t (orU(t) e ^t), where is any real number.

Testing for Unit Roots in a Nearly Nonstationary Spatial Autoregressive Process

The limiting distribution of the normalized periodogram ordinate is used to test for unit roots in the first-order autoregressive model _st= _s-1,t+_s,t-1- _s-1,t-1+_st. Moreover, for the sequence _n = e ^c/n , _n = e ^d/n of local Pitman-type alternatives, the limiting distribution of the normalized periodogram ordinate is shown to be a linear combination of two independent chi-square random variables whose coefficients depend on c and d. This result is used to tabulate the asymptotic power of a test for various values of c and d. A comparison is made between the periodogram test and a spatial domain test.

Effect of starting structure on the lifetime of a polymer under load in the presence of ultraviolet radiation

An investigation of the behavior of the coefficents A_j and _j in the radiation lifetime equation _j=A_je–_j with variation of the starting structure of polycaprolactam has revealed the structure-sensitivity of _j and the structure-insensitivity of A_j. This and the fact that _j is proportional to the structure-sensitive coefficient in the equation for the lifetime without irradiation, together with the previous experimental data, provide a basis for the development of a theory of the mechanism of polymer fracture in the presence of UV radiation and throw light on the physical significance of the coefficients A_j and _j.A.
