Degree Ramsey numbers for even cycles

Let $H\stackrel{s}{?}G$ denote that any $s$-coloring of $E\left(H\right)$ contains a monochromatic $G$. The degree Ramsey number of a graph $G$, denoted by $R_{\Delta }(G,s)$, is $min\{\Delta \left(H\right):H\stackrel{s}{?}G\}$. We consider degree Ramsey numbers where $G$ is a fixed even cycle. Kinnersley, Milans, and West showed that $R_{\Delta }(C_{2k},s)\ge 2s$, and Kang and Perarnau showed that $R_{\Delta }(C_4,s)=\Theta \left(s^2\right)$. Our main result is that $R_{\Delta }(C_6,s)=\Theta \left(s^{3∕2}\right)$ and $R_{\Delta }(C_{10},s)=\Theta \left(s^{5∕4}\right)$. Additionally, we substantially improve the lower bound for $R_{\Delta }(C_{2k},s)$ for general $k$.     

Congruences modulo powers of 3 for 3- and 9-colored generalized Frobenius partitions

Let $c{?}_k\left(n\right)$ be the number of $k$-colored generalized Frobenius partitions of $n$. We establish some infinite families of congruences for $c{?}_3\left(n\right)$ and $c{?}_9\left(n\right)$ modulo arbitrary powers of 3, which refine the results of Kolitsch. For example, for $k\ge 3$ and $n\ge 0$, we prove that

$c{?}_3\left(3^{2k}n+\frac{7?3^{2k}+1}{8}\right)\equiv 0(mod{3}^{4k+5}).$

We give two different proofs to the congruences satisfied by $c{?}_9\left(n\right)$. One of the proofs uses a relation between $c{?}_9\left(n\right)$ and $c{?}_3\left(n\right)$ due to Kolitsch, for which we provide a new proof in this paper.     

Galerkin finite element methods for two-dimensional RLW and SRLW equations

In this paper, Galerkin finite methods for two-dimensional regularized long wave and symmetric regularized long wave equation are studied. The discretization in space is by Galerkin finite element method and in time is based on linearized backward Euler formula and extrapolated Crank–Nicolson scheme. Existence and uniqueness of the numerical solutions have been shown by Brouwer fixed point theorem. The error estimates of linearlized Crank–Nicolson method for RLW and SRLW equations are also presented. Numerical experiments, including the error norms and conservation variables, verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed numerical schemes.     

Self-complementary magic squares of doubly even orders

A magic square $M$ in which the entries consist of consecutive integers from $1,2,\dots ,n^2$ is said to be self-complementary of order$n$ if the resulting square obtained from $M$ by replacing each entry $i$ by $n^2+1?i$ is equivalent to $M$ (under rotation or reflection). We present a new construction for self-complementary magic squares of order $n$ for each $n\ge 4$, where $n$ is a multiple of $4$.     

On the spanning connectivity of the generalized Petersen graphs P(n,3)

In this paper, we employed lattice model to describe the three internally vertex-disjoint paths that span the vertex set of the generalized Petersen graph $P(n,3)$. We showed that the $P(n,3)$ is 3-spanning connected for odd $n$. Based on the lattice model, five amalgamated and one extension mechanisms are introduced to recursively establish the 3-spanning connectivity of the $P(n,3)$. In each amalgamated mechanism, a particular lattice trail was amalgamated with the lattice trails that was dismembered, transferred, or extended from parts of the lattice trails for $P(n?6,3)$, where a lattice tail is a trail in the lattice model that represents a path in $P(n,3)$.     

Convergence to nonlinear diffusion waves for solutions of Euler equations with time-depending damping

In this paper, we are concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the system of Euler equations with time-depending damping, in particular, include the constant coefficient damping. We rigorously prove that the solutions time-asymptotically converge to the diffusion wave whose profile is self-similar solution to the corresponding parabolic equation, which justifies Darcy's law. Compared with previous results about Euler equations with constant coefficient damping obtained by Hsiao and Liu (1992) [2], and Nishihara (1996) [9], we obtain a general result when the initial perturbation belongs to the same space, i.e. $H^3(\mathbb{R})\times H^2(\mathbb{R})$. Our proof is based on the classical energy method.     

Vanishing and cocentralizing generalized derivations on Lie ideals

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, U its right Utumi quotient ring, C its extended centroid and L a not central Lie ideal of R. Suppose that F, G and H are generalized derivations of R, with F≠0, such that F(G(x)x?xH(x)) = 0, for any x∈L. In this paper we describe all possible forms of F, G and H.     

New results on (b,c)–inverses

In this paper, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the (b, c)-inverse and several representations for the (b, c)-inverse related to the group inverse. Since Mary inverse, core inverse, dual core inverse and Bott–Duffin (e, f)-inverse are all the special cases of the (b, c)-inverse, related results for these inverses are obtained.
