Rates of convergence of α-stable random motions

The rate-of-convergence problem in the central limit theorem is considered for -stable distributions on the noncommutative group of motions in ^d. The method used here is based on the theory of probability metrics.     

Nonlocality as a feature of the physical world

Aprediction puzzle leads to a form ofnecessary realism which forces the rejection of a central tenet of the Copenhagen interpretation. This leads to reconsidering conceptual difficulties related to Bell's locality premise. It is shown that aparadox of elementary probability theory puts new light on Bell's assumption that causality and statistical independence are mutually incompatible. Nemo dat quod non habet : No one can offer more than he has ability to give; in that spirit, this paper is dedicated to the memory of J.S. Bell.     

Relativistic virial theorem for diatomic molecules. Application to H 2 +

Summary The virial theorem for a molecule in the relativistic clamped-nuclei approximation is derived. The individual energy contributionsA (momentum energy),B (mass energy),T=A+B (kinetic energy) andV (potential energy) are expressed in terms ofE, E/R (derivate w.r.t. the nuclear coordinates) and the relativistic correction E/² (derivative w.r.t. Sommerfield's fine-structure constant ). IfE and E/R are known as functions of , then all individual energy terms are also known as functions of . As an example, numerical results for H ₂ ⁺ are presented. The relativistic and nonrelativistic potential energy curves and the paradoxical behavior of their different contributions are analyzed and interpreted in both the largeR and shortR ranges.Dedicated to Professor W. Kutzelnigg on the occasion of his 60th birthday

On the ν-dimensional one-component classical plasma: The thermodynamic limit problem revisited

We prove theH-stability property and the existence of the thermodynamic limit of the free energy density of the two-dimensional, one-component classical plasma. We give lower and upper bounds on the free energy density in any dimensionv and draw some consequences.     

An elementary proof of a converse mean-value theorem

We present a new converse mean value theorem, with a rather elementary proof.     

Cohen and multiple Cohen strongly summing multilinear operators

Considering the successful theory of multiple summing multilinear operators as a prototype, we introduce the classes of multiple Cohen strongly p-summing multilinear operators and polynomials. The adequacy of these classes under the viewpoint of the theory of multilinear and polynomial ideals and holomorphy types is discussed in detail.     

Evolutionary variational inequalities with a volterra term

The mathematical model of the injection molding process is characterized by evolutionary inequalities with an elliptic principal part and a Volterra term. Existence and uniqueness of the solution of these problems are derived by means of an argument based on the Banach fixed point theorem. Regularity results are obtained by using the penalty and Rothe method. The results can be considered as a starting point for the numerical treatment and for the application to injection molding.     

On statistical properties of the lyapunov exponent of the generalized skew tent map

The statistical properties of the Lyapunov exponent of the chaotic generalized skew tent map is studied. Expressions of the mean and the variance of this Lyapunov exponent at each discrete time index are obtained. A sufficient condition for weakly mixing of the chaotic generalized skew tent map is derived, and the asymptotic distribution of its Lyapunov exponent is provided.
