Qualitative analysis of finite-gap solutions of the KgΦ equation by the automorphic approach

By the automorphic approach and the use of computer graphics, we carry out a qualitative analysis of finite-gap periodic solutions of the Kg equation. Graphs are constructed for multiphase solutions.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Addendum to the paper “on a theorem of Miranda”

An existence theorem is proved for closed convex surfaces whose principal radii of curvature regarded as functions of the unit normal vectorn satisfy the equation

On the reductibility of the general existence problem for closed convex surfaces to Miranda's equation

It is proved that the solution of the general existence problem for closed convex surfaces with prescribed local propertiesf(R ₁ R ₂,R ₁+R ₂,n)=(n) can be obtained as the solution of Miranda's equationR ₁ R ₂+(f)+cn=((n),(n)) with right-hand side depending on the unknown surface under the hypothesis that the latter satisfies the closure condition , where is the unit sphere andd is its element of area.Translated from Ukrainskií Geometricheskií Sbornik, Issue 29, 1986, pp. 103–112.     

Estimates for the fractal dimension and the number of determining modes for invariant sets of dynamical systems

Majorants of the fractal dimension and of the number of determining modes for unbounded sets, invariant with respect to operators of semigroups of classes 1 and 2, are obtained. They are computed for the Navier-Stokes equations (two- and three-dimensional) under the first boundary condition and under periodicity conditions in the spaces and .Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On immersions ofn-dimensional Lobachevskií space in 2n-dimensional Euclidean space withn principal direction fields

In this article we prove that the principal direction fields are holonomic and use them to introduce curvilinear coordinates on an immersed region in terms of which the linear element of Lobachevskií space is written in the form where The fundamental system of equations is established for an immersion ofn-dimensional Lobachevskií space into 2n-dimensional Euclidean space withn principal direction fields for the functions _i and, and a way of constructing an arbitrary local analytic immersion is shown.Translated from Ukrainskií Geometricheskií Sbornik, No. 28, pp. 3–8, 1985.

Cubic surfaces in AG(3, q) and projective planes of order q 3

Spread sets of projective planes of order q ³ are represented as sets of q ³ points in A AG(3, q ³). A line through the origin in A can be interpreted as a space A ₀ AG(3, q), and the spread set induces a cubic surface L in A ₀. If the projective plane is a semifield plane of dimension 3 over its kernel, then L has the property that it misses a plane of A ₀. Determining all such surfaces L leads to a complete classification of the semifield planes of order q ³, whose spread sets are division algebras of dimension 3.An alternative proof of a result due to Menichetti, that finite division algebras of dimension 3 are associative or are twisted fields, follows with the classification.     

Properties of nonlinear waves in dissipative-dispersive media with instability

Wave processes in dissipative-dispersive media with instability described by a fourth-order nonlinear evolution equation are considered. Analytic solutions in the form of solitary and cnoidal waves are obtained. The existence of a critical value of the dispersion coefficient beyond which an initial disturbance (in particular, white noise) is transformed into a structure is demonstrated by numerical modeling.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 130–136, July–August, 1990.
