We study the boundary regularity ofp-harmonic maps with free and partially constrained boundary conditions and give estimates on the size of the singular subset of the boundary.     

The projected newton method for solving inverse eigenvalue problems - the case of multiple eigenvaues

This paper deals with the optimal solution of ill-posed linear problems, i.e..linear problems for which the solution operator is unbounded. We consider worst-case ar,and averagecase settings. Our main result is that algorithms having finite error (for a given setting) exist if and only if the solution operator is bounded (in that setting). In the worst-case setting, this means that there is no algorithm for solving ill-posed problems having finite error. In the average-case setting, this means that algorithms having finite error exist if and only lf the solution operator is bounded on the average. If the solution operator is bounded on the average, we find average-case optimal information of cardinality n and optimal algorithms using this information, and show that the average error of these algorithms tends to zero as n→∞. These results are then used to determine the [euro]-complexity, i.e., the minimal costof finding an [euro]-accurate approximation. In the worst-case setting, the [euro]comp1exity of an illposed problem is infinite for all [euro]>0; that is, we cannot find an approximation having finite error and finite cost. In the average-case setting, the [euro]-complexity of an ill-posed problem is infinite for all [euro]>0 iff the solution operator is not bounded on the average, moreover, if the the solutionoperator is bounded on the average, then the [euro]-complexity is finite for all [euro]>0.     

Evolution equations for shapes and geometries

The first object of this paper is to introduce a new evolution equation for the characteristic function of the boundary Γ of a Lipschitzian domain Ω in the N-dimensional Euclidean space under the influence of a smooth time-dependent velocity field. The originality of this equation is that the evolution takes place in an L^p-space with respect to the (N − 1)-Hausdorff measure. A second more speculative objective is to discuss how that equation can be relaxed to rougher velocity fields via some weak formulation. A candidate is presented and some of the technical difficulties and open issues are discussed. Continuity results in several metric topologies are also presented. The paper also specializes the results on the evolution of the oriented distance function to initial sets with zero N-dimensional Lebesgue measure.     

Approximation Methods by Regular Functions

This paper is a survey of approximation results and methods by smooth functions in Banach spaces. The topics considered in the paper are the following: approximation by polynomials by C^k-functions using the method of smooth partitions of unity, approximation by the fine topology, analytic approximation and regularization in Banach spaces using the infimal convolution method.     

Real Quadratic Fields with Class Number Divisible by 5 or 7

We shall show that the number of real quadratic fields whose absolute discriminant is ≤ x and whose class number is divisible by 5 or 7 is improving the existing best known bound for g = 5 and for g = 7 of Yu (J Number Theory 97:35–44, 2002).This work was supported by KRF-R08-2003-000-10243-0 and partially by KRF-2005-070-C00004.     

图的预解Estrada指标的界的估计（英文）

n阶图G的子图中心度,即后来著名的Estrada指标定义为EE（G）=∑_（i=1）~N e~（λ2）.其中λ_1,λ_2……λ_n为图G的特征值.作为复杂网络的一种中心性测度和一种分子结构描述符,Estrada指标在许多研究领域有着广泛的应用.最近,Estrada和High-ama引进了一种新的复杂网络中心度,即∑_（i=1）~n n-1n-1λ_i：他们称之为预解中心度,后来又被称为预解Estrada指标.本文主要利用图G的顶点数和边数给出了图G的预解Estrada指标的若干界.     

Orbifolds and groupoids

We define a 2-category structure (Pre-Orb) on the category of reduced complex orbifold atlases. We construct a 2-functor F from (Pre-Orb) to the 2-category (Grp) of proper étale effective groupoid objects over the complex manifolds. Both on (Pre-Orb) and (Grp) there are natural equivalence relations on objects: (a natural extension of) equivalence of orbifold atlases on (Pre-Orb) and Morita equivalence in (Grp). We prove that F induces a bijection between the equivalence classes of its source and target.     

Global existence and blow-up phenomena for the weakly dissipative Novikov equation

In this paper, we consider the global existence and blow-up for the weakly dissipative Novikov equation. We firstly establish the local well-posedness for the weakly dissipative Novikov equation by Kato’s theorem. Then we present some blow-up results. Finally, we present the global existence of strong solutions to the weakly dissipative equation.     

Discrete-analytical methods for the implementation of variational principles in environmental applications

A new method of constructing numerical schemes on the base of a variational principle for models including convection-diffusion operators is proposed. An original element is the use of analytical solutions of local adjoint problems formulated for the operators of convection-diffusion within the framework of the splitting technique. This results in numerical schemes which are absolutely stable, monotonic, transportive, and differentiable with respect to the state functions and parameters of the model. Artificial numerical diffusion is avoided due to the analytical solutions. The variational technique provides strong consistency between the numerical schemes of the main and adjoint problems. A theoretical study of the new class of schemes is given. The quality of the numerical approximations is demonstrated by an example of the non-linear Burgers equation. These new schemes enhance our variational methodology of environmental modelling. As one of the environmental applications, an inverse problem of risk assessment for Lake Baikal is presented.     

Oscillation of even order partial differential equations with distributed deviating arguments

Some Kamenev-type oscillation criteria are established for a class of boundary value problems associated with even-order partial differential equations with distributed deviating arguments. Our approach is to reduce the high-dimensional oscillation problem to a one-dimensional oscillation one, and the general means developed by Philos and Wong is used as the main tool. The results obtained here extend and improve some known results in the literature.
