Groupwise density cannot be much bigger than the unbounded number

We prove that g (the groupwise density number) is smaller or equal to ??⁺, the successor of the minimal cardinality of an unbounded subset of ^ωω. This is true even for the version of ?? for groupwise dense ideals. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Common resources, optimality and taxes in dynamic games with increasing number of players

In the paper we examine the problem of exploitation of a common renewable resource. We use two kinds of models of this problem: games with finitely many players and games with a continuum of players. Equilibria in both cases are calculated and the payoffs are compared with payoffs in the situation in which each player behaves as a single owner of the resource. Various concepts of optimality are considered: optimality in the sense of property, Pareto optimality, maximization of a social welfare function of specific type and environmental sustainability. Another issue is the problem of enforcement of assumed profiles by so-called “linear” tax systems. Special attention is paid to the comparison of games with finitely many players and their continuum-of-players limit game.     

Traveling waves in a coarse-grained model of volume-filling cell invasion: Simulations and comparisons

Many reaction–diffusion models produce traveling wave solutions that can be interpreted as waves of invasion in biological scenarios such as wound healing or tumor growth. These partial differential equation models have since been adapted to describe the interactions between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), using a variety of different underlying assumptions. In this work, we derive a system of reaction–diffusion equations, with cross-species density-dependent diffusion, by coarse-graining an agent-based, volume-filling model of cell invasion into ECM. We study the resulting traveling wave solutions both numerically and analytically across various parameter regimes. Subsequently, we perform a systematic comparison between the behaviors observed in this model and those predicted by simpler models in the literature that do not take into account volume-filling effects in the same way. Our study justifies the use of some of these simpler, more analytically tractable models in reproducing the qualitative properties of the solutions in some parameter regimes, but it also reveals some interesting properties arising from the introduction of cell and ECM volume-filling effects, where standard model simplifications might not be appropriate.

连续统与Turing度

令Ｄ为所有Ｔｕｒｉｎｇ度的集合，≤为Ｄ上的图林化归关系．一函数ｆ：Ｄ→Ｄ称为前进函数如果对任何ａ∈Ｄ，ａ≤ｆ（ａ）。对于一个前进函数ｆ，我们说Ｄ中的两个度ａ，ｂ是ｆ－不可比较的，如果ａ≮ｆ（ｂ）且ｂ ≮ｆ（ａ），否则是ｆ－可比较的．本文的一个主要结果是：在ＺＦＣ中连续统假设成立当且仅当存在一个前进函数ｆ：Ｄ→Ｄ使得Ｄ中任何两个度都是ｆ－可比较的.     

Geometry of the vacant set left by random walk on random graphs,Wright's constants,and critical random graphs with prescribed degrees

We provide an explicit algorithm for sampling a uniform simple connected random graph with a given degree sequence. By products of this central result include: (1) continuum scaling limits of uniform simple connected graphs with given degree sequence and asymptotics for the number of simple connected graphs with given degree sequence under some regularity conditions, and (2) scaling limits for the metric space structure of the maximal components in the critical regime of both the configuration model and the uniform simple random graph model with prescribed degree sequence under finite third moment assumption on the degree sequence. As a substantive application we answer a question raised by ?erný and Teixeira study by obtaining the metric space scaling limit of maximal components in the vacant set left by random walks on random regular graphs.     

A selection limiter of DSMC for near continuum flows

A selection limiter for the direct simulation monte carlo (DSMC) method is proposed to simulate near continuum flows. The selection limiter is calculated according to a continuum breakdown parameter and is used to limit the number of potential collision pairs. A Couette flow, a supersonic flow into a pitot probe and a nozzle plume flow are studied and compared with the standard DSMC to validate present method. It is found that its computational cost is about 35% of that of the standard DSMC method with satisfactory accuracy in the near continuum regime.     

A universal continuum of weight

We prove that every continuum of weight  is a continuous image of the Cech-Stone-remainder  of the real line. It follows that under  the remainder of the half line is universal among the continua of weight  -- universal in the `mapping onto' sense.

We complement this result by showing that 1) under  every continuum of weight less than  is a continuous image of , 2) in the Cohen model the long segment of length  is not a continuous image of , and 3)  implies that is not a continuous image of , whenever  is a -saturated ultrafilter.

We also show that a universal continuum can be gotten from a -saturated ultrafilter on , and that it is consistent that there is no universal continuum of weight  .

Discrete potential Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur equation

We establish a discrete model for the potential Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur equation via a generalized Cauchy matrix approach. Soliton solutions and Jordan block solutions of this equation are presented by solving the determining equation set. By applying appropriate continuum limits, we obtain two semi-discrete potential Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur equations. The reductions to real and complex discrete and semi-discrete potential modified Korteweg-de Vries equations are also discussed.
