The result that any monoid is isomorphic to some endomorphism monoid is generalized to super-associative systems.

The present paper studies some asymptotic (including oscillatory) properties of the solutions of operator-differential inequalities of the form

where

(the latter symbol denotes the space of locally summable functions).

As an application of the results obtained, theorems are proved for the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of certain classes of functional-differential and integro-differential neutral-type equations.

Explicit orthogonality relations are found for the associated Laguerre and Hermite polynomials. One consequence is the construction of the [n − 1/n] Padé approximation to Ψ(a + 1, b; x)/Ψ(a, b; x), where Ψ(a, b; x) is the second solution to the confluent hypergeometric differential equation that does not grow rapidly at infinity.

We prove in this paper that on a non-singular projective variety, the χ-semistable functor is proper and the χ-stable functor is separated. This result was proved for μ-stability and μ-semistability by Langton. An essential part of our proof consists in defining a notion of stability between the μ and χ definitions and then proceeding by induction.

A coefficient difference bound for k-fold symmetric and close-to-convex functions in the unit disc is established in this paper.

We answer some questions about the semicontinuity in L∞ and in Lp of functionals defined on W1,n (Ωℝn) as integrals of non-convex functions of the gradient matrix, and we give a conjecture for the general case.

In this note, we study the well-posedness of the exterior traction value problem for linear anisotropic non-homogeneous elastostatics. We prove existence and continuous dependence upon the data. In particular, in the isotropic homogeneous case, provided the body force is “simple”, we show that solutions tend to zero uniformly at large spatial distances.

We characterize the finite projective double Stone algebras, and also make some observations concerning infinite projective double Stone algebras.

We prove that there exists a complete system of eigenvectors of the eigenvalue problem

for self-adjoint operators Tr and Vrs on separable Hilbert spaces Hr. It is assumed that

(i) the operators Tr have discrete spectrum;

(ii) the operators Vrs are bounded and commute for each r;

(iii) the operators Vrs have the definite sign factor property.

This theorem generalizes and improves a result of Cordes for two-parameter problems. The proof of the theorem depends on an approximation of the given eigenvalue problem by simpler problems, a technique which is related to Atkinson's proof of his expansion theorem.

We define spaces of functions on an interval naturally related to functional differential equations of retarded type in the sense that exponential solutions of such equations form a uniform basis (or Riesz basis) in these spaces. Embedding theorems relating these spaces to the Sobolev spaces are established using a result on Carleson's measure defined on a half plane.

An analogue of the group algebra of a finite group is defined for any finite projective plane, in the case where the characteristic of the scalar field divides the order of the plane.

We study the evaluation of multilinear forms under arbitrary rearrangements of the entries of increasing n-tuples x(1), x(2),…, x(m), and we show that the difference of two such multilinear forms under certain circumstances can be written as a sum of obviously definite forms.

A new proof is given that all regular biordered sets come from regular semigroups.

We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions of i(∂ψ/∂t) = (−Δ+x1g(t)+q(x))ψ, ψ(x, s) = ψs (x) in ℝ3 for potentials q(x) including the Coulomb case. Existence and completeness of the wave operators is established for g(t) periodic with zero mean and q(x) short-range, smooth in the x1 direction. We characterize scattering and bound states in terms of the period operator.

Functionals are found that give upper and lower bounds to the inner product 〈g0, f〉 involving the unknown solution f of a non-linear equation T[f] = f0, with f∈H, a real Hilbert space, g0 a given function in H and f0 a given function in the range of the non-linear operator T. The method depends upon a re-ordering of terms in the expansion of T[f] about a trial function so as to transfer the non-linearity to a secondary problem that requires its own particular treatment and to enable earlier results obtained for linear operators to be used for the main part. First, bivariational bounds due to Barnsley and Robinson are re-derived. The new and more accurate bounds are given under relaxed assumptions on the operator T by introducing a third approximating function. The results are obtained from identities, thus avoiding some of the conditions imposed by the use of variational methods. The accuracy of the new method is illustrated by applying it to the problem of the heat contained in a bar.

The implication of Dirac's large numbers hypothesis (LNH) that there are two cosmological spacetime metrics, gravitational (E) and atomic (A), is used to formulate the gravitational laws for a general mass system in atomic scale units within such a cosmology. The metric is constrained to be asymptotic to the cosmological A metric at large distance. The gravitational laws are illustrated in application to the case of a single spherical mass immersed in the smoothed out expanding universe. The condition is determined for such a metric to apply approximately just outside a typical member of a cosmic distribution of such masses. Conversely, the condition is given when the influence of the universe as a whole can be neglected outside such a mass. In the latter situation, which applies in particular to stars, a Schwarzschild-type metric is derived which incorporates variable G in accordance with the LNH. The dynamics of freely moving particles and photons in such a metric are examined according to the theory and observational tests are formulated.

The simple 2q-knots, q ≧ 5, for which contains no ℤ-torsion, have been classified in terms of Hermitian duality pairings on their homology and homotopy modules. In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for such a knot to be doubly-null-concordant.

Critical Rayleigh numbers are obtained for the onset of convection when the Maxwell–Cattaneo heat flux law is employed. It is found that convection is possible in both heated above and below cases.
