A stochastic lagrangean picture for the three dimensional navier-stokes equation +

We derive a representation formula for the solutions of the navier-Stokes flow in three dimensions in absence of boundary in terms of stochastic current lines. This pictures generalizes an analogous one given in two dimensions and on the other hand the classical Lafrangian picture for the Euler flow. We prove a Vanishing viscosity limit for the whole structure     

Globalizing weak homotopy equivalences

We generalize the basic quasifibration theorem of Dold and Thom (1958), replacing quasifibrations by weak equivalences.     

Commutativity in special unitary groups at odd primes

It is a classical result by Bott that SU(s) and SU(t) homotopy commute in SU(n) if and only if s+t?n. We consider the p-localization analog of this problem and give an answer at odd primes.     

Splitting (complicated) surfaces is hard

Let be an orientable combinatorial surface. A cycle on is splitting if it has no self-intersections and it partitions into two components, neither of which is homeomorphic to a disk. In other words, splitting cycles are simple, separating, and non-contractible. We prove that finding the shortest splitting cycle on a combinatorial surface is NP-hard but fixed-parameter tractable with respect to the surface genus g and the number of boundary components b of the surface. Specifically, we describe an algorithm to compute the shortest splitting cycle in (g+b)^O(g+b)nlogn time, where n is the complexity of the combinatorial surface.     

Solitary pattern solutions for fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations with fully nonlinear dispersion

The fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations are increasingly used in modeling various kinds of weakly nonlinear ion acoustic waves in a plasma comprising cold ions and hot isothermal electrons in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. This has led to a significant interest in the study of these equations. In this work, solitary pattern solutions of fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations are investigated by means of the homotopy perturbation method with consideration of Jumarie’s derivatives. The effects of fractional derivatives for the systems under consideration are discussed. Numerical results and a comparison with exact solutions are presented.     

Piecewise homotopy perturbation method for solving linear and nonlinear weakly singular VIE of second kind

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the approximation solution of linear and strong nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation of the second kind, especially for such a situation that the equation is of nonsmooth solution and the situation that the problem is a strong nonlinear problem. For this purpose, we firstly make a transform to the equation such that the solution of the new equation is as smooth as we like. Through modifying homotopy perturbation method, an algorithm is successfully established to solve the linear and nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation of the second kind. And the convergence of the algorithm is proved strictly. Comparisons are made between our method and other methods, and the results reveal that the modified homotopy perturbation is effective.     

Analysis of the Solvability of Linear Vibration Models

In this article we consider a general linear vibration problem in variational form. Models for the vibration of systems of elastic bodies can be written in this form. We show how properties of the damping term determines the time differentiability of the solution and establish classes of permissible initial conditions. The proofs are based on a direct link between the variational form and an abstract differential equation.

On Quillen?s Theorem A for posets

A theorem of McCord of 1966 and Quillen?s Theorem A of 1973 provide sufficient conditions for a map between two posets to be a homotopy equivalence at the level of complexes. We give an alternative elementary proof of this result and we deduce also a stronger statement: under the hypotheses of the theorem, the map is not only a homotopy equivalence but a simple homotopy equivalence. This leads then to stronger formulations of the simplicial version of Quillen?s Theorem A, the Nerve Lemma and other known results. In particular we establish a conjecture of Kozlov on the simple homotopy type of the crosscut complex and we improve a well-known result of Cohen on contractible mappings.     

On homotopy groups of quandle spaces and the quandle homotopy invariant of links

For a quandle X, the quandle space BX is defined, modifying the rack space of Fenn, Rourke and Sanderson (1995) [13], and the quandle homotopy invariant of links is defined in Z[π₂(BX)], modifying the rack homotopy invariant of Fenn, Rourke and Sanderson (1995) [13]. It is known that the cocycle invariants introduced in Carter et al. (2005) [3], Carter et al. (2003) [5], Carter et al. (2001) [6] can be derived from the quandle homotopy invariant.In this paper, we show that, for a finite quandle X, π₂(BX) is finitely generated, and that, for a connected finite quandle X, π₂(BX) is finite. It follows that the space spanned by cocycle invariants for a finite quandle is finitely generated. Further, we calculate π₂(BX) for some concrete quandles. From the calculation, all cocycle invariants for those quandles are concretely presented. Moreover, we show formulas of the quandle homotopy invariant for connected sum of knots and for the mirror image of links.
