Shape Optimization for Semi-Linear Elliptic Equations Based on an Embedding Domain Method

We study a class of shape optimization problems for semi-linear elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions in smooth domains in ℝ². A part of the boundary of the domain is variable as the graph of a smooth function. The problem is equivalently reformulated on a fixed domain. Continuity of the solution to the state equation with respect to domain variations is shown. This is used to obtain differentiability in the general case, and moreover a useful formula for the gradient of the cost functional in the case where the principal part of the differential operator is the Laplacian.

An embedding domain approach for a class of 2-d shape optimization problems: mathematical analysis

This contribution combines a shape optimization approach to free boundary value problems of Bernoulli type with an embedding domain technique. A theoretical framework is developed which allows to prove continuous dependence of the primal and dual variables in the resulting saddle point problems with respect to the domain. This ensures the existence of a solution of a related shape optimization problem in a sufficiently large class of admissible domains.     

Sofic equivalence relations

We introduce the notion of sofic measurable equivalence relations. Using them we prove that Connes' Embedding Conjecture as well as the Measurable Determinant Conjecture of Lück, Sauer and Wegner hold for treeable equivalence relations.     

Genus polynomials of cycles with double edges

Two cellular embeddings i: G → S and j: G → S of a connected graph G into a closed orientable surface S are equivalent if there is an orientation-preserving surface homeomorphism h: S → S such that hi = j. The genus polynomial of a graph G is defined by

Codimension Two PL Embeddings of Spheres with Nonstandard Regular Neighborhoods

For a given polyhedron K(?)M,the notation RM(K)denotes a regular neigh- borhood of K in M.The authors study the following problem:find all pairs(m,k) such that if K is a compact k-polyhedron and M a PL m-manifold,then R_M(f(K))≌R_M(g(K))for each two homotopic PL embeddings f,g:K→M.It is proved that R_S~(k 2)(S~k)(?)S~k×D~2 for each k(?)2 and some PL sphere S~k(?)S~(k 2)(even for any PL sphere S~k(?)S~(K 2)having an isolated non-locally flat point with the singularity S~(k-1)(?) S~(k 1)such thatπ_1(S~(k 1)-S~(k-1))(?)Z).     

BiBloch-type Maps: Existence and Beyond

It is shown that for f > 0 there are two constants c 1 , c 2 > 0 and a holomorphic map f from the unit disk ${\shadD} {\rm of} {\shadC}$ into ${\shadC}^2$ such that $ c_1(1-|z|)^{-\alpha }\le |\,f'(z)|\le c_2(1-|z|)^{-\alpha } $ for all $ z\in {\shadD}$ . Moreover, this existence is effectively used in the study of invariance of the Bloch-type spaces under composition, but also in the discussion of embedding the Bloch-type spaces via derivation into the Lebesgue, mixed-norm and Coifman-Meyer-Stein tent spaces.     

一个关于球面和环面上嵌入图的近-三角剖分嵌入的内插定理(I)

一个近-三角剖分嵌入是指一个曲面上的嵌入图使得几乎所有的面都是三角形,至多只有一个可能的例外.文中作者证明了如下结论:如果一个图G 在球面S₀(或环面S₁)上有近-三角剖分嵌入,那么G在每一个可定向曲面S_k有近-三角剖分嵌入,其中k=h,h+1,\cdots ,\lfloor\frac{\beta(G)}{2}\rfloor$, 而h=0(或1)并且β(G)是图G的Betti数.特别地,G是上可嵌入的.     

Existence of positive solutions for a class of semilinear and quasilinear elliptic equations with supercritical case

In this paper, we consider a class of semilinear elliptic Dirichlet problems in a bounded regular domain with cylindrical symmetry involving concave-convex nonlinearities with supercritical growth. Using a new Sobolev embedding theorem and variational method, we show the existence of two positive solutions of the problem. Additionally, we study the quasilinear elliptic equation and obtain a similar result.     

A class of stationary random fields with a simple correlation structure

A stationary random field is often more complicated than a univariate stationary time series, since dependence for a random field extends in all directions, while there is only the natural distinction of past and future at any instant in a univariate time series. In this paper we start from a simple correlation structure, derive a class of stationary random fields with the simple correlation function and the simple spectral density function by using linear combinations of separable spatial correlation functions, and discuss a problem of embedding a lattice model into a continuous domain model.     

Analysis of GI<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis></Superscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)//<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> systems with stochastic customer acceptance policy

We investigate GI ^X /M(n)//N systems with stochastic customer acceptance policy, function of the customer batch size and the number of customers in the system at its arrival. We address the time-dependent and long-run analysis of the number of customers in the system at prearrivals and postarrivals of batches and seen by customers at their arrival to the system, as well as customer blocking probabilities. These results are then used to derive the continuous-time long-run distribution of the number of customers in the system. Our analysis combines Markov chain embedding with uniformization and uses stochastic ordering as a way to bound the errors of the computed performance measures.
