Generic convergence of infinite products of positive linear operators

We present several results concerning the asymptotic behavior of (random) infinite products of generic sequences of positive linear operators on an ordered Banach space. In addition to a weak ergodic theorem we also obtain convergence to an operator of the formf(·) wheref is a continuous linear functional and is a common fixed point.     

A Characterization of Projective Spaces by a Set of Planes

This note deals with the following question: How many planes of a linear space (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) must be known as projective planes to ensure that (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a projective space? The following answer is given: If for any subset M of a linear space (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) the restriction (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ )(M)) is locally complete, and if for every plane E of (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ (M)) the plane $\bar E$ generated by E is a projective plane, then (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a projective space (cf. 5.6). Or more generally: If for any subset M of P the restriction (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ (M)) is locally complete, and if for any two distinct coplanar lines G1, G2 ∈ $\mathfrak{L}$ (M) the lines $\bar G_1 ,\bar G_2 \varepsilon \mathfrak{L}$ generated by G1, G2 have a nonempty intersection and $\overline {G_1 \cup {\text{ }}G_2 }$ satisfies the exchange condition, then (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a generalized projective space.     

Relativistic calculations using Monte Carlo methods: one-electron systems

Variance minimization and Monte Carlo integration are used to evaluate the four-component Dirac equation for a number of one-electron atomic and diatomic systems. This combination produces accurate energies, is relatively simple to implement, and exhibits few of the problems associated with traditional techniques.     

Free modules over hjelmslev rings in which not every maximal linearly independent subset is a basis

First it will be shown that every left-noetherian AH-ring is left-artinian. For an AH-ring R every finite linearly independent subset of a free left R-module V can be completed to a basis of V. But a maximal linearly independent subset of a free left R-module V need not be a basis of V. For an H-ring R, every maximal linearly independent subset of a free left R-module V is a basis of V if and only if the H-ring R is left-noetherian or V is finitely generated.
