On the multi‐colored Ramsey numbers of cycles

For a graph L and an integer k≥2, R_k(L) denotes the smallest integer N for which for any edge‐coloring of the complete graph K_N by k colors there exists a color i for which the corresponding color class contains L as a subgraph. Bondy and Erdos conjectured that, for an odd cycle C_n on n vertices, They proved the case when k = 2 and also provided an upper bound R_k(C_n)≤(k+ 2)!n. Recently, this conjecture has been verified for k = 3 if n is large. In this note, we prove that for every integer k≥4, When n is even, Sun Yongqi, Yang Yuansheng, Xu Feng, and Li Bingxi gave a construction, showing that R_k(C_n)≥(k?1)n?2k+ 4. Here we prove that if n is even, then © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 69: 169‐175, 2012     

Pullback attractors for non-autonomous 2D-Navier–Stokes equations in some unbounded domains

In this Note we first introduce the concept of pullback asymptotic compactness. Next, we establish a result ensuring the existence of a pullback attractor for a non-autonomous dynamical system under the general assumptions of pullback asymptotic compactness and the existence of a pullback absorbing family of sets. Finally, we prove the existence of a pullback attractor for a non-autonomous 2D Navier–Stokes model in an unbounded domain, a case in which the theory of uniform attractors does not work since the non-autonomous term is quite general.

Time decay of the solution to the Cauchy problem for a three-dimensional model of nonsimple thermoelasticity

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the solution to the Cauchy problem for a system of partial differential equations describing thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials in a three-dimensional space. The model of linear dynamical thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials is considered as the system of partial differential equations of fourth order. In this paper, we proposed a convenient evolutionary method of approach to the system of equations of nonsimple thermoelasticity. We proved the L^p−L^q time decay estimates for the solution to the Cauchy problem for linear thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials.     

Stabilization of elasticity–viscoporosity system by linear boundary feedback

The initial boundary value problem for linear elastodynamic system for viscoporous materials is considered. Exponential decay of solutions via the linear boundary feedback is established. Existence of solutions is obtained through the method of c₀‐semigroups. Exponential stabilization is derived via a proper collection of ideas of observability inequality, energy identity and c₀‐semigroup of contractions. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Duality in the cohomology of crystalline local systems

Let k be a perfect field of a positive characteristic p, K-the fraction field of the ring of Witt vectors W(k) Let X be a smooth and proper scheme over W(k). We present a candidate for a cohomology theory with coefficients in crystalline local systems: p -adic étale local systems on X_K characterized by associating to them so called Fontaine-crystals on the crystalline site of the special fiber X _k. We show that this cohomology satysfies a duality theorem.     

Joint universality for dependent <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

We prove that, for arbitrary Dirichlet L-functions \(L(s;\chi _1),\ldots ,L(s;\chi _n)\) (including the case when \(\chi _j\) is equivalent to \(\chi _k\) for \(j\ne k\)), suitable shifts of type \(L(s+i\alpha _jt^{a_j}\log ^{b_j}t;\chi _j)\) can simultaneously approximate any given set of analytic functions on a simply connected compact subset of the right open half of the critical strip, provided the pairs \((a_j,b_j)\) are distinct and satisfy certain conditions. Moreover, we consider a discrete analogue of this problem where t runs over the set of positive integers.     

Holomorphic mappings preserving Minkowski functionals

We show that the equality _m1(f(x))=_m2(g(x))$m_1\left(f\left(x\right)\right)=m_2\left(g\left(x\right)\right)$ for x$x$ in a neighborhood of a point a$a$ remains valid for all x$x$ provided that f$f$ and g$g$ are open holomorphic maps, f(a)=g(a)=0$f\left(a\right)=g\left(a\right)=0$ and _m1,_m2$m_1,m_2$ are Minkowski functionals of bounded balanced domains. Moreover, a polynomial relation between f$f$ and g$g$ is obtained.     

On a nonlinear boundary value problem modeling corneal shape

In this paper we present some results concerning a boundary value problem for a nonlinear ordinary differential equation that was used before in modeling the topography of human cornea. These results generalize previously obtained theorems on existence and uniqueness. We show that our equation has a unique solution for all parameters and conditions that can arise in physical situation. In the second part of the article we derive some new estimates and approximate solutions. Numerical calculations verify that these approximations are very accurate.
