Smooth diameter and eigenvalue rigidity in positive Ricci curvature

A recent injectivity radius estimate and previous sphere theorems yield the following smooth diameter sphere theorem for manifolds of positive Ricci curvature: For any given and there exists a positive constant 0$">such that any -dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature , sectional curvature and diameter is Lipschitz close and diffeomorphic to the standard unit -sphere. A similar statement holds when the diameter is replaced by the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.

     

Some Upper Bounds on the Covering Radii of Linear Codes Over Fq and Their Applications

We show that the covering radius R of an [n,k,d] code over F_q is bounded above by R n-n _q(k, d/q). We strengthen this bound when R d and find conditions under which equality holds.As applications of this and other bounds, we show that all binary linear codes of lengths up to 15, or codimension up to 9, are normal. We also establish the normality of most codes of length 16 and many of codimension 10. These results have applications in the construction of codes that attain t[n,k,/it>], the smallest covering radius of any binary linear [n,k].We also prove some new results on the amalgamated direct sum (ADS) construction of Graham and Sloane. We find new conditions assuring normality of the ADS; covering radius 1 less than previously guaranteed for ADS of codes with even norms; good covering codes as ADS without the hypothesis of normality, from concepts p- stable and s- stable; codes with best known covering radii as ADS of two, often cyclic, codes (thus retaining structure so as to be suitable for practical applications).

Elements with generalized bounded conjugation orbits

For a pair of linear bounded operators and on a complex Banach space , if commutes with then the orbits of under are uniformly bounded. The study of the converse implication was started in the 1970s by J. A. Deddens. In this paper, we present a new approach to this type of question using two localization theorems; one is an operator version of a theorem of tauberian type given by Katznelson-Tzafriri and the second one is on power-bounded operators by Gelfand-Hille. This improves former results of Deddens-Stampfli-Williams.

Dimensions of branched polymers formed in simultaneous long‐chain branching and random scission

In free‐radical olefin polymerizations, the polymer‐transfer reactions could lead to chain scission as well as the formation of long‐chain branches. The Monte Carlo simulation for free‐radical polymerization that involves simultaneous long‐chain branching and random scission is used to investigate detailed branched structure. The relationship between the mean‐square radius of gyration 〈s²〉 and degree of polymerization P as well as that between the branching density and P is the same for both with and without random scission reactions—at least for smaller frequencies of scission reactions. The 〈s²〉 values were larger than those calculated from the Zimm–Stockmayer (Z‐S) equation in which random distribution of branch points is assumed, and therefore, the Z‐S equation may not be applied for low‐density polyethylenes. The elution curves of size exclusion chromatography were also simulated. The molecular weight distribution (MWD) calibrated relative to standard linear polymers is much narrower than the true MWD, and high molecular weight tails are clearly underestimated. A simplified method to estimate the true MWD from the calibrated MWD data is proposed. The MWD obtained with a light scattering photometer in which the absolute weight‐average molecular weight of polymers at each retention volume is determined directly is considered a reasonable estimate of the true MWD. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Integral representation for powers of elements in locally <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-convex algebras and applications

This paper proves a new integral representation theorem for powers of elements in locally m-convex algebras. It is shown that the conditions handled in this theorem are satisfied for any sequentially complete locally m-convex Q-algebra. Various applications of this result concerning the spectrum, the spectral radius or the numerical radius are given.
