A high resolution NV/TVD Hermite polynomial upwind scheme for convection‐dominated problems

A high‐order convection‐bounded scheme is constructed by combining the total variational diminishing constraint and convection boundedness criterion condition in the normalized variable formulation. It employs the Hermite polynomial interpolation to design its characteristic line in the normalized variable diagram. Numerical results of the convection‐dominated problems with smooth or discontinuous initial distributions demonstrate the present scheme possesses high resolution and good robustness.

Normalized intensity correlation function of single-mode laser system driven by colored cross-correlation noises

Considering a single-mode laser system with cross-correlated additive colored noise and multiplicative colored noise, we study the effects of correlation among noises on the normalized intensity correlation function C(s).C(s) is derived by means of the projection operator method.     

Fixed-Point Iterations for Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a three-step iterative scheme for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. The new iterative scheme includes Ishikawa-type and Mann-type interations as special cases. The results obtained in this paper represent an extension as well as refinement of previous known results.     

Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings in Modular Function Spaces

In this paper, we prove that if ρ is a convex, σ-finite modular function satisfying a Δ₂-type condition, C a convex, ρ-bounded, ρ-a.e. compact subset of L_ρ, and T: C → C a ρ-asymptotically nonexpansive mapping, then T has a fixed point. In particular, any asymptotically nonexpansive self-map defined on a convex subset of L¹(Ω, μ) which is compact for the topology of local convergence in measure has a fixed point.     

Removable sets for continuous solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations

We show that sets of Hausdorff measure zero are removable for -Hölder continuous solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations similar to the -Laplacian. The result is optimal. We also treat larger sets in terms of a growth condition. In particular, our results apply to quasiregular mappings.

     

Nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann operators in

This paper has arisen from an effort to provide a comprehensive and unifying development of the -theory of quasiconformal mappings in . The governing equations for these mappings form nonlinear differential systems of the first order, analogous in many respects to the Cauchy-Riemann equations in the complex plane. This approach demands that one must work out certain variational integrals involving the Jacobian determinant. Guided by such integrals, we introduce two nonlinear differential operators, denoted by and , which act on weakly differentiable deformations of a domain .

Solutions to the so-called Cauchy-Riemann equations and are simply conformal deformations preserving and reversing orientation, respectively. These operators, though genuinely nonlinear, possess the important feature of being rank-one convex. Among the many desirable properties, we give the fundamental -estimate

In quest of the best constant , we are faced with fascinating problems regarding quasiconvexity of some related variational functionals. Applications to quasiconformal mappings are indicated.

     

On the Action of the Dual Group on the Cohomology of Perverse Sheaves on the Affine Grassmannian

It was proved by Ginzburg, Mirkovic and Vilonen that the G(O)-equivariant perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian of a connected reductive group G form a tensor category equivalent to the tensor category of finite dimensional representations of the dual group G . In this paper we construct explicitly the action of G on the global cohomology of a perverse sheaf.     

Characterization of Certain Holomorphic Geodesic Cycles on Quotients of Bounded Symmetric Domains in terms of Tangent Subspaces

Let be an irreducible bounded symmetric domain and Aut() be a torsion-free discrete group of automorphisms, X /. We study the problem of algebro-geometric and differential-geometric characterizations of certain compact holomorphic geodesic cycles S X. We treat special cases of the problem, pertaining to a situation in which S is a compact holomorphic curve, and to the case where is a classical domain dual to the hyperquadric. In both cases we consider algebro-geometric characterizations in terms of tangent subspaces. As a consequence we derive effective pinching theorems where certain complex submanifolds S X are proven to be totally geodesic whenever their scalar curvatures are pinched between certain computed universal constants, independent of the volume of the submanifold S, giving new examples of the gap phenomenon for the characterization of compact holomorphic geodesic cycles.Research funded by a CERG grant from Research Grants Council of Hong Kong.     

Théorie de Kasparov équivariante et groupo?des I

Let be a locally compact topological groupoid, A and B two C*-algebras endowed with a continuous action of . We define an operator K-theory group K K (A,B). We describe two basic properties of this theory: the existence of a Kasparov product and functoriality with respect to groupoid cocycles.     

Normality criteria for families of holomorphic mappings of several complex variables into

By applying the heuristic principle in several complex variables obtained by Aladro and Krantz, we shall prove some normality criteria for families of holomorphic mappings of several complex variables into , the complex N-dimensional projective space, related to Green's and Nochka's Picard type theorems. The equivalence of normality to being uniformly Montel at a point will be obtained. Some examples will be given to complement our theory in this paper.
