Extended Affine Weyl Groups: Presentation by Conjugation via Integral Collection

We give several necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the presentation by conjugation for a non-simply laced extended affine Weyl group. We invent a computational tool by which one can determine simply the existence of the presentation by conjugation for an extended affine Weyl group. As an application, we determine the existence of the presentation by conjugation for a large class of extended affine Weyl groups.     

A Characterization of π-Complemented Algebras

π-complemented algebras are defined as those algebras (not necessarily associative or unital) such that each annihilator ideal is complemented by other annihilator ideal. Let A be a semiprime algebra. We prove that A is π-complemented if, and only if, every idempotent in the extended centroid of A lies in the centroid of A. We also show the existence of a smallest π-complemented subalgebra of the central closure of A containing A. In the case that A is a C*-algebra, this subalgebra turns out to be a norm dense *-subalgebra of the bounded central closure of A. It follows that a C*-algebra is boundedly centrally closed if, and only if, it is π-complemented.     

Asymptotic Stability of Traveling Wave Solutions for Perturbations with Algebraic Decay

For a class of scalar partial differential equations that incorporate convection, diffusion, and possibly dispersion in one space and one time dimension, the stability of traveling wave solutions is investigated. If the initial perturbation of the traveling wave profile decays at an algebraic rate, then the solution is shown to converge to a shifted wave profile at a corresponding temporal algebraic rate, and optimal intermediate results that combine temporal and spatial decay are obtained. The proofs are based on a general interpolation principle which says that algebraic decay results of this form always follow if exponential temporal decay holds for perturbation with exponential spatial decay and the wave profile is stable for general perturbations.     

An adaptive multiresolution semi‐intrusive scheme for UQ in compressible fluid problems

This paper deals with the introduction of a multiresolution strategy into the semi‐intrusive scheme, recently introduced by the authors, aiming to propagate uncertainties in unsteady compressible fluid applications. The mathematical framework of the multiresolution setting is presented for the cell‐average case, and the coupling with the semi‐intrusive scheme is described from both the theoretical and algorithmic point‐of‐view. Some reference test cases are performed to demonstrate the convergence properties and the efficiency of the overall scheme: the linear advection problem for both smooth and discontinuous initial conditions, the inviscid Burgers equation, and an uncertain shock tube problem obtained by modifying the well‐known Sod shock problem. For all the cases, the convergence curves are computed with respect to semi‐analytical (exact) solutions. In the case of the shock tube problem, an original technique to obtain a reference highly‐accurate numerical stochastic solution has also been developed.

Structurable Tori

The classification of structurable tori with nontrivial involution, which was begun by Allison and Yoshii, is completed. New examples of structurable tori are obtained using a construction of structurable algebras from a semilinear version of cubic forms satisfying the adjoint identity. The classification uses techniques borrowed from quadratic forms over ? ₂ and from the geometry of generalized quadrangles. Since structurable tori are the coordinate algebras for the centerless cores of extended affine Lie algebras of type BC₁, the results of this article provide a classification and new examples for this class of Lie algebras.     

Power Values of Derivations with Annihilator Conditions on Lie Ideals in Prime Rings

Let R be a prime ring of char R ≠ 2, d a nonzero derivation of R, U a noncentral Lie ideal of R, and a ∈ R. If au ^{n ₁} d(u) ^{n ₂} u ^{n ₃} d(u) ^{n ₄} u ^{n ₅} … d(u) ^{n _k?1} u ^{n _k}  = 0 for all u ∈ U, where n ₁, n ₂,…,n _k are fixed non-negative integers not all zero, then a = 0 and if a(u ^s d(u)u ^t ) ⁿ  ∈ Z(R) for all u ∈ U, where s ≥ 0, t ≥ 0, n ≥ 1 are some fixed integers, then either a = 0 or R satisfies S ₄, the standard identity in four variables.     

Burgers and Black–Merton–Scholes equations with real time variable and complex spatial variable

The purpose of this article is to study the Burgers and Black–Merton–Scholes equations with real time variable and complex spatial variable. The complexification of the spatial variable in these equations is made by two different methods which produce different equations: first, one complexifies the spatial variable in the corresponding (real) solution by replacing the usual sum of variables (translation) by an exponential product (rotation) and secondly, one complexifies the spatial variable in the corresponding evolution equation and then one searches for analytic and non-analytic solutions. By both methods, new kinds of evolution equations (or systems of equations) in two dimensional spatial variables are generated and their solutions are constructed.
