Extremal (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> + 1)-graphs with respected to zeroth- order general Randić index

A (n, n + 1)-graph G is a connected simple graph with n vertices and n + 1 edges. If d _v denotes the degree of the vertex v, then the zeroth-order general Randić index of the graph G is defined as , where α is a real number. We characterize, for any α, the (n,n + 1)-graphs with the smallest and greatest zeroth-order general Randić index.     

Second order asymptotic behaviour of subordinated sequences with longtailed subordinator

Suppose that {a(n)} is a discrete probability distribution on the set N₀={0,1,2,…} and {p(n)} is some non-negative sequence defined on the same set. The equation defines a new sequence {b(n)}. Here {a*k(n)} denotes the k-fold convolution of the distribution {a(n)}. In the paper the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence {b(n)} is investigated. It is known that for the large classes of the sequences {a(n)} and {p(n)}, b(n)∼σp([σn]), where 1/σ is the mean of the distribution {a(n)}. The main object of the present work is to estimate the difference b(n)−σp([σn]) for some classes of the sequences {a(n)} and {p(n)}.     

On operator valued sequences of multipliers and R-boundedness

In recent papers (cf. [J.L. Arregui, O. Blasco, (p,q)-Summing sequences, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 274 (2002) 812-827; J.L. Arregui, O. Blasco, (p,q)-Summing sequences of operators, Quaest. Math. 26 (2003) 441-452; S. Aywa, J.H. Fourie, On summing multipliers and applications, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 253 (2001) 166-186; J.H. Fourie, I. Röntgen, Banach space sequences and projective tensor products, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 277 (2) (2003) 629-644]) the concept of (p,q)-summing multiplier was considered in both general and special context. It has been shown that some geometric properties of Banach spaces and some classical theorems can be described using spaces of (p,q)-summing multipliers. The present paper is a continuation of this study, whereby multiplier spaces for some classical Banach spaces are considered. The scope of this research is also broadened, by studying other classes of summing multipliers. Let E(X) and F(Y) be two Banach spaces whose elements are sequences of vectors in X and Y, respectively, and which contain the spaces c₀₀(X) and c₀₀(Y) of all X-valued and Y-valued sequences which are eventually zero, respectively. Generally spoken, a sequence of bounded linear operators (un)⊂L(X,Y) is called a multiplier sequence from E(X) to F(Y) if the linear operator from c₀₀(X) into c₀₀(Y) which maps (xi)∈c₀₀(X) onto (unxn)∈c₀₀(Y) is bounded with respect to the norms on E(X) and F(Y), respectively. Several cases where E(X) and F(Y) are different (classical) spaces of sequences, including, for instance, the spaces Rad(X) of almost unconditionally summable sequences in X, are considered. Several examples, properties and relations among spaces of summing multipliers are discussed. Important concepts like R-bounded, semi-R-bounded and weak-R-bounded from recent papers are also considered in this context.     

Some properties of rapidly varying sequences

We investigate the class R∞,s of rapidly varying sequences from different points of view. It is shown: (1) a sequence (cn)_n∈N of positive real numbers is rapidly varying if and only if the corresponding function x→c[x], x?1, is rapidly varying; (2) the class R∞,s satisfies some selection properties, as well as game-theoretical and Ramsey-theoretical conditions.     

The braid groups of the projective plane and the Fadell–Neuwirth short exact sequence

We study the pure braid groups of the real projective plane , and in particular the possible splitting of the Fadell–Neuwirth short exact sequence , where n ≥ 2 and m ≥ 1, and p _* is the homomorphism which corresponds geometrically to forgetting the last m strings. This problem is equivalent to that of the existence of a section for the associated fibration of configuration spaces. Van Buskirk proved (1966, Trans. Am. Math. Soc., 122:81–97) that p and p _* admit a section if n = 2 and m = 1. Our main result in this paper is to prove that there is no section if n ≥ 3. As a corollary, it follows that n = 2 and m = 1 are the only values for which a section exists. As part of the proof, we derive a presentation of : this appears to be the first time that such a presentation has been given in the literature.      

Remarks on sufficient conditions for fixed points of multivalued nonexpansive mappings

In recent papers [S. Dhompongsa, T. Domínguez-Benavides, A. Kaewcharoen, A. Kaewkhao, B. Panyanak, The Jordan–von Neumann constants and fixed points for multivalued nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 320 (2006) 916–927; S. Dhompongsa, A. Kaewcharoen, A. Kaewkhao, The Domínguez–Lorenzo condition and multivalued nonexpansive mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 64 (2006) 958–970], two sufficient conditions, namely the Domínguez–Lorenzo condition and property (D$D$), for fixed points of multivalued nonexpansive mappings are introduced. The authors also give some sufficient conditions for the Domínguez–Lorenzo condition and property (D$D$). In their proofs, it seems reasonable to use the James and von Neumann–Jordan constants. With slight modifications, significant improvements are obtained. Some new estimates are tight in Hilbert spaces.     

The Cohomology of Line Bundles on Non-primary Hopf Manifolds

The purpose of the present paper is to give an elementary method for the computation of the cohomology groups Hq（X,Ω^p X（L））, （0 ≤q ≤ n） of an n-dimensional non-primary Hopf manifold X with arbitrary fundamental group. We use the method of Zhou to generalize the results for primary Hopf manifolds and non-primary Hopf manifold with an Abelian fundamental group.

Elastic dynamics variational principle for nonlinear elastic body

Based on paper, the variational principle and generalized variational principle of elastic dynamics for elastic body with nonlinear stress-strain relations are introduced in this paper. The generalized instantaneous variational principle is also raised for the mixed harmonious displacement element and the mixed harmonious stress element.     

some general theorems and generalized and piecewise generalized variational principles for linear elastodynamics

From the concept of four-dimensional space and under the four kinds of time limit conditions, some general theorems for elastodynamics are developed, such as the principle of possible work action, the virtual displacement principle, the virtual stress-momentum principle, the reciprocal theorems and the related theorems of time terminal conditions derived from it. The variational principles of potential energy action and complementary energy action, the H-W principles, the H-R principles and the constitutive variational principles for elastodynamics are obtained. Hamilton's principle, Toupin's work and the formulations of Ref. [5], [17]-[24] may be regarded as some special cases of the general principles given in the paper. By considering three cases: piecewise space-time domain, piecewise space domain, piecewise time domain, the piecewise variational principles including the potential, the complementary and the mixed energy action fashions are given. Finally, the general formulation of piecewise variati
