BIFURCATION OF CUBIC INTEGRABLE SYSTEM UNDER CUBIC PERTURBATION

In this paper, we consider the bifurcation for a class of cubic integrable system under cubic perturbation. Using bifurcation theory and qualitative analysis, we obtain a complete bifurcation diagram of the system in a neighbourhood of the origin for parameter plane.     

The planar algebra of a semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra

To a semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field, we associate a planar algebra defined by generators and relations and show that it is a connected, irreducible, spherical, non-degenerate planar algebra with non-zero modulus and of depth two. This association is shown to yield a bijection between (the isomorphism classes, on both sides, of) such objects.     

A Geometric Problem and the Hopf Lemma. Ⅱ

Abstract A classical result of A. D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth n-dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in ℝⁿ⁺¹, and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of M in a hyperplane X_n+1 =constant in case M satisfies: for any two points (X′,X_n+1), on M, with , the mean curvature at the first is not greater than that at the second. Symmetry need not always hold, but in this paper, we establish it under some additional conditions. Some variations of the Hopf Lemma are also presented. Several open problems are described. Part I dealt with corresponding one dimensional problems. (Dedicated to the memory of Shiing-Shen Chern) * Partially supported by NSF grant DMS-0401118.     

Generalized Hopf Bifurcation for Planar Filippov Systems Continuous at the Origin

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic orbits bifurcating from stationary solutions of a planar dynamical system of Filippov type. This phenomenon is interpreted as a generalized Hopf bifurcation. In the case of smoothness, Hopf bifurcation is characterized by a pair of complex conjugate eigenvalues crossing through the imaginary axis. This method does not carry over to nonsmooth systems, due to the lack of linearization at the origin which is located on the line of discontinuity. In fact, generalized Hopf bifurcation is determined by interactions between the discontinuity of the system and the eigen-structures of all subsystems. With the help of geometrical observations for a corresponding piecewise linear system, we derive an analytical method to investigate the existence of periodic orbits that are obtained by searching for the fixed points of return maps.     

On Quasi-Bicrossed Products of Weak Hopf Algebras

The aim of this paper is to study quasi-bicrossed products and a especially quantum quasi-doubles. Firstly, we construct one new kind of quasi-bicrossed products by weak Hopf algebras and then devote a brief discussion to this matter. And, we discuss the conditions for quasi-bicrossed products to possess the structure of almost weak Hopf algebras, containing the case of a special smash product. At the end, we give some properties on the quantum quasi-double, respectively on the quasi-R-isomorphism, the representation-theoretic interpretation and the regularity of the quasi-R-matrix.     

Some Quantum-like Hopf Algebras which Remain Noncommutative when q = 1

Starting with only three of the six relations defining the standard (Manin) GL _q (2), we try to construct a quantum group. The antipode condition requires some new relations, but the process stops at a Hopf algebra with a Birkhoff–Witt basis of irreducible monomials. The quantum determinant is group-like but not central, even when q = 1. So, the two Hopf algebras constructed in this way are not isomorphic to the Manin GL _q (2), all of whose group-like elements are central. Analogous constructions can be made starting with the Dipper–Donkin version of GL _q (2), but these turn out to be included in the two classes of Hopf algebras described above.     

Stability and bifurcation in a delayed predator-prey system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response

We consider a delayed predator-prey system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. The stability of the interior equilibrium will be studied by analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation. By choosing the delay τ as a bifurcation parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcation can occur as the delay τ crosses some critical values. The direction and stability of the Hopf bifurcation are investigated by following the procedure of deriving normal form given by Faria and Magalhães. An example is given and numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the obtained results.     

Unipotent Algebraic Affine Supergroups and Nilpotent Lie Superalgebras

We characterize hereditary (as coalgebras) Hopf algebras by the property of ‘equivariant smoothness’, and apply the result to generalize to the super-context, the category equivalence, due to Hochschild, between the unipotent algebraic affine groups and the finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, in characteristic zero. The global dimension of commutative Hopf algebras, regarded as coalgebras, is also discussed. Presented by S. Montgomery Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 16W30.     

Cosemisimple Coextensions and Homological Dimension of Smash Coproducts

Let H be a finite dimensional cosemisimple Hopf algebra, C a left H-comodule coalgebra and let C = C/C（H^＊）^＋ be the quotient coalgebra and the smash coproduct of C and H. It is shown that if C/C is a eosemisimple coextension and C is an injective right C-comodule, then gl. dim（the smash coproduct of C and H） = gl. dim（C） = gl. dim（C）, where gl. dim（C） denotes the global dimension of coalgebra C.
