In 1903, Epstein published his proof of meromorphic continuation and a functional equation for Dirichlet series associated with quadratic forms, now called Epstein zeta-functions. However, already in 1889 (or even earlier) Hurwitz was aware of these results as his mathematical diaries and some unpublished notes (in an almost final form) found in his estate at the ETH Zurich show. In this article we present and analyze Hurwitz's notes and compare his reasoning with Epstein's paper in detail.

A class of games for finding a leader among a group of candidates is studied in detail. This class covers games based on coin tossing and rock-paper-scissors as special cases and its complexity exhibits similar stochastic behaviors: either of logarithmic mean and bounded variance or of exponential mean and exponential variance. Many applications are also discussed.

We correct an error in the paper of Z. Shen, S. Li, and J. Zhang published in [4]. In addition, we give an answer to a question posed by the authors.

We characterize functions of finite energy in the plane in terms of their traces on the lines that make up "graph paper" with squares of side length $mn$ for all $n$, and certain $\12-$order Sobolev norms on the graph paper lines. We also obtain analogous results for functions of finite energy on two classical fractals: the Sierpinski gasket and the Sierpinski carpet.

Let [Formula: see text] be a projective variety of dimension [Formula: see text] over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. We prove a Fujiki–Lieberman type theorem on the structure of the automorphism group of [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a group of zero entropy automorphisms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] the set of elements in [Formula: see text] which are isotopic to the identity. We show that after replacing [Formula: see text] by a suitable finite-index subgroup, [Formula: see text] is a unipotent group of the derived length at most [Formula: see text]. This result was first proved by Dinh et al. for compact Kähler manifolds.

Månsson and Shukur (Econ Model 28:1475–1481, 2011) proposed a Poisson ridge regression estimator (PRRE) to reduce the negative effects of multicollinearity. However, a weakness of the PRRE is its relatively large bias. Therefore, as a remedy, Türkan and Özel (J Appl Stat 43:1892–1905, 2016) examined the performance of almost unbiased ridge estimators for the Poisson regression model. These estimators will not only reduce the consequences of multicollinearity but also decrease the bias of PRRE and thus perform more efficiently. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to derive the mean square error properties of the Modified Almost Unbiased PRRE (MAUPRRE) and Almost Unbiased PRRE (AUPRRE) and then propose new ridge estimators for MAUPRRE and AUPRRE. Secondly, to compare the performance of the MAUPRRE with the AUPRRE, PRRE and maximum likelihood estimator. Using both simulation study and real-world dataset from the Swedish football league, it is evidenced that one of the proposed, MAUPRRE ($$ \hat{k}_{q4} $$ k ^ q 4 ) performed better than the rest in the presence of high to strong (0.80–0.99) multicollinearity situation.

The main goal of this short paper is to prove the existence of rank 2 simple and special Ulrich bundles on a wide class of elliptic surfaces: namely, on regular Weierstrass fibrations \(\pi : S\rightarrow \mathbb {P}^1\). Alongside we also show the existence of rank 2 weakly Ulrich sheaves on arbitrary Weierstrass fibrations \(S\rightarrow C_0\) and we deal with the (non-)existence of rank one Ulrich bundles on them.

0.1. How it all began. When the second author translated a result on algebraic sur faces into the language of lattice polygons using toric geometry, he got a simple inequality for lattice polygons. This inequality had originally been discovered by Scott [12]. The first author then found a third proof. Subsequently, both authors went through a phase of polygon addiction. Once you get started drawing lattice polygons on graph paper and discovering relations between their numerical invariants, it is not so easy to stop! (The gentle reader has been warned.) Thus, it was just unavoidable that the authors came up with new inequalities: Scott's inequality can be sharpened if one takes into account another invariant, which is de fined by peeling off the skins of the polygons like an onion (see Section 3).

In this short note we show that non-negative Ricci curvature is not preserved under Ricci flow for closed manifolds of dimensions four and above, strengthening a previous result of Knopf in \cite{K} for complete non-compact manifolds of bounded curvature. This brings down to four dimensions a similar result B\"ohm and Wilking have for dimensions twelve and above, \cite{BW}. Moreover, the manifolds constructed here are \Kahler manifolds and relate to a question raised by Xiuxiong Chen in \cite{XC}, \cite{XCL}., Comment: New version with added references and corrected typos

A large part of mathematical demography is built upon one fundamental theorem, the "strong ergodic theorem" of demography. If the fertility and mortality age-schedules of a population remain unchanged over time, its age distribution, no matter what its initial shape, will converge in time to a fixed and stable form. In brief, when demographic behavior remains unchanged, the population, it is said, converges to stability. This short paper presents a new argument for the convergence of the age structure, one that is self-contained, and that brings the mechanism behind convergence into full view. The idea is simple. Looked at directly, the dynamics of the age-distribution say little to our normal intuition. Looked at from a slightly different angle though, population dynamics define a smoothing or averaging process over the generations -- a process comfortable to our intuition. This smoothing and resmoothing turns out to be the mechanism that forces the age structure toward a fixed and final form.

The aim of this paper is to generalize results known for the symplectic involutions on K3 surfaces to the order 3 symplectic automorphisms on K3 surfaces. In particular, we will explicitly describe the action induced on the lattice $\Lambda_{K3}$, isometric to the second cohomology group of a K3 surface, by a symplectic automorphism of order 3; we exhibit the maps $\pi_*$ and $\pi^*$ induced in cohomology by the rational quotient map $\pi:X\dashrightarrow Y$, where $X$ is a K3 surface admitting an order 3 symplectic automorphism $\sigma$ and $Y$ is the minimal resolution of the quotient $X/\sigma$; we deduce the relation between the N\'eron--Severi group of $X$ and the one of $Y$. Applying these results we describe explicit geometric examples and generalize the Shioda--Inose structures, relating Abelian surfaces admitting order 3 endomorphisms with certain specific K3 surfaces admitting particular order 3 symplectic automorphisms., Comment: 28 pages. Version 2: this is the published version of the paper. The last section of the previous version (v1) was erased (the results are only stated) and it is now contained in arXiv:2209.10141

In this paper we prove that a nodal hypersurface in P^4 with defect has at least (d-1)^2 nodes, and if it has at most 2(d-2)(d-1) nodes and d>6 then it contains either a plane or a quadric surface. Furthermore, we prove that a nodal double cover of P^3 ramified along a surface of degree 2d with defect has at least d(2d-1) nodes. We construct the largest dimensional family of nodal degree d hypersurfaces in P^(2n+2) with defect for d sufficiently large., v2: A proof for the Ciliberto-Di Gennaro conjecture is added (Section 5); Some minor corrections in the other sections. v3: some minor corrections in the abstract v4: The proof for the Ciliberto-Di Gennaro conjecture has been modified; The paper is split into two parts, the complete intersection case will be discussed in a different paper

We do three things in this paper: (1) study the analog of localization sequences (in the sense of algebraic $K$-theory of stable $\infty $-categories) for additive $\infty $-categories, (2) define the notion of nilpotent extensions for suitable $\infty $-categories and furnish interesting examples such as categorical square-zero extensions, and (3) use (1) and (2) to extend the Dundas–Goodwillie–McCarthy theorem for stable $\infty $-categories that are not monogenically generated (such as the stable $\infty $-category of Voevodsky’s motives or the stable $\infty $-category of perfect complexes on some algebraic stacks). The key input in our paper is Bondarko’s notion of weight structures, which provides a “ring-with-many-objects” analog of a connective $\mathbb{E}_1$-ring spectrum. As applications, we prove cdh descent results for truncating invariants of stacks extending the work by Hoyois–Krishna for homotopy $K$-theory and establish new cases of Blanc’s lattice conjecture.

Recently, two of the authors of this paper constructed cyclic cocycles on Harish-Chandra's Schwartz algebra of linear reductive Lie groups that detect all information in the $K$-theory of the corresponding group $C^*$-algebra. The main result in this paper is an index formula for the pairings of these cocycles with equivariant indices of elliptic operators for proper, cocompact actions. This index formula completely determines such equivariant indices via topological expressions., 40 pages; updates based on referee comments; expanded proof of Proposition 3.3

In many applications it is desirable to consider not one random vector but a number of random vectors with the joint distribution. This paper is devoted to the integral and integral transformations connected with the joint vector Gaussian probability density function. Such integral and transformations arise in the statistical decision theory, particularly, in the dual control theory based on the statistical decision theory. One of the results represented in the paper is the integral of the joint Gaussian probability density function. The other results are the total probability formula and Bayes formula formulated in terms of the joint vector Gaussian probability density function. As an example the Bayesian estimations of the coefficients of the multiple regression function are obtained. The proposed integrals can be used as table integrals in various fields of research.

This paper is a survey of results on countable families with natural degree spectra. These results were obtained by a modification of the methodology proposed by Wechner, who first found a family of sets with the spectrum consisting precisely of nonzero Turing degrees. Based on this method, many researchers obtained examples of families with other natural spectra. In addition, in this paper we extend these results and present new examples of natural spectra. In particular, we construct a family of finite sets with the spectrum consisting of exactly non-K-trivial degrees and also we find new sufficient conditions on $$ {\Delta}_2^0 $$ -degree a, which guarantees that the class {x : x ≰ a} is the degree spectrum of some family. Finally, we give a survey of our recent results on the degree spectra of α-families, where α is an arbitrary computable ordinal.

This paper presents some new formulas and properties of the generalized fractional derivative with non-singular kernel that covers various types of fractional derivatives such as the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative, the Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative, and the weighted Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative. These new properties extend many recent results existing in the literature. Furthermore, the paper proposes some interesting inequalities that estimate the generalized fractional derivatives of some specific functions. These inequalities can be used to construct Lyapunov functions with the aim to study the global asymptotic stability of several fractional-order systems arising from diverse fields of science and engineering.

In our previous paper, viewing $D^b(K(l))$ as a noncommutative curve, where $K(l)$ is the Kronecker quiver with $l$-arrows, we introduced categorical invariants via counting of noncommutative curves. Roughly, these invariants are sets of subcategories in a given category and their quotients. The noncommutative curve-counting invariants are obtained by restricting the subcategories to be equivalent to $D^b(K(l))$. The general definition, however, defines a larger class of invariants and many of them behave properly with respect to fully faithful functors. Here, after recalling the definition, we focus on the examples and extend our studies beyond counting. We enrich our invariants with the following structures: the inclusion of subcategories makes them partially ordered sets and considering semi-orthogonal pairs of subcategories as edges amounts to directed graphs. It turns out that the problem for counting $D^b(A_k)$ in $D^b(A_n)$ has a geometric combinatorial parallel - counting of maps between polygons. Estimating the numbers counting noncommutative curves in $D^b({\mathbb P}^2)$ modulo the group of autoequivalences, we prove finiteness and that the exact determining of these numbers leads to a solution of Markov problem. Via homological mirror symmetry, this gives a new approach to this problem. Regarding the structure of a partially ordered set mentioned above, we initiate intersection theory of noncommutative curves focusing on the case of noncommutative genus zero. The above-mentioned structure of a directed graph (and related simplicial complex) is a categorical analogue of the classical curve complex, introduced by Harvey and Harrer. The paper contains pictures of the graphs in many examples and also presents an approach to Markov conjecture via counting of subgraphs in a graph associated with $D^b({{\mathbb{P}}}^2)$. Some of the results proved here were announced in a previous work.

This paper studies the virtual $\chi_{-y}$-genera of Grothendieck's Quot schemes on surfaces, thus refining the calculations of the virtual Euler characteristics by Oprea-Pandharipande. We first prove a structural result expressing the equivariant virtual $\chi_{-y}$-genera of Quot schemes universally in terms of the Seiberg-Witten invariants. The formula is simpler for curve classes of Seiberg-Witten length $N$, which are defined in the paper. By way of application, we give complete answers in the following cases: (i) arbitrary surfaces for the zero curve class, (ii) relatively minimal elliptic surfaces for rational multiples of the fiber class, (iii) minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g>0$ for any curve classes. Furthermore, a blow up formula is obtained for curve classes of Seiberg-Witten length $N$. As a result of these calculations, we prove that the generating series of the virtual $\chi_{-y}$-genera are given by rational functions for all surfaces with $p_g>0$, addressing a conjecture of Oprea-Pandharipande. In addition, we study the reduced $\chi_{-y}$-genera for $K3$ surfaces and primitive curve classes with connections to the Kawai-Yoshioka formula., Comment: 48 pages. Reformulation of Theorem 1 for readability. Extra explanation for the mixed terms in section 2.2.3. Reference updates

We classify the Seifert fibrations of lens spaces where the base orbifold is non-orientable. This is an addendum to our earlier paper ‘Seifert fibrations of lens spaces’. We correct Lemma 4.1 of that paper and fill the gap in the classification that resulted from the erroneous lemma.

The discriminant group of a minimal equicontinuous action of a group $G$ on a Cantor set $X$ is the subgroup of the closure of the action in the group of homeomorphisms of $X$, consisting of homeomorphisms which fix a given point. The stabilizer and the centralizer groups associated to the action are obtained as direct limits of sequences of subgroups of the discriminant group with certain properties. Minimal equicontinuous group actions on Cantor sets admit a classification by the properties of the stabilizer and centralizer direct limit groups. In this paper, we construct new families of examples of minimal equicontinuous actions on Cantor sets, which illustrate certain aspects of this classification. These examples are constructed as actions on rooted trees. The acting groups are countable subgroups of the product or of the wreath product of groups. We discuss applications of our results to the study of attractors of dynamical systems and of minimal sets of foliations., 20 pages, 1 figure. The condition of finite generation in Thm 1.9 was replaced by countability. The proof of Thm 1.9 has been simplified. The notation used in 5 has been modified.

This paper presents an approach, based on interpolation theory of operators, to the study of interpolating sequences for interpolation Banach spaces between Hardy spaces. It is shown that the famous Carleson result forH∞can be lifted to a large class of abstract Hardy spaces. A description is provided of the range of the Carleson operator defined on interpolation spaces between the classical Hardy spaces in terms of uniformly separated sequences. A key role in this description is played by some general interpolation results proved in the paper. As by-products, novel results are obtained which extend the Shapiro–Shields result on the characterisation of interpolation sequences for the classical Hardy spacesHp. Applications to Hardy–Lorentz, Hardy–Marcinkiewicz and Hardy–Orlicz spaces are presented.

In this paper, we consider boundary-value problems for a new class of hybrid systems of differential equations whose coefficients contain the Dirac delta-function. Hybrid systems are systems that contain both ordinary and partial differential equations; such systems appear, for example, when equations of motion of mechanical systems of rigid bodies attached to a beam by elastic bonds are derived from the Hamilton–Ostrogradsky variational principle. We present examples that lead to such systems and introduce the notions of generalized solutions and eigenvalues of a boundary-value problem. We also compare results of numerical simulations based on methods proposed in this paper with results obtained by previously known methods and show that our approach is reliable and universal.

In this paper, we prove that for the oper stratification of the de Rham moduli space $M_{\mathrm{dR}}(X,r)$, the closed oper stratum is the unique minimal stratum with dimension $r^2(g-1)+g+1$, and the open dense stratum consisting of irreducible flat bundles with stable underlying vector bundles is the unique maximal stratum., Comment: This paper comes from the last section of arXiv:1905.10765v1 as an independent paper.

In this paper we study graded Bourbaki ideals. It is a well-known fact that for torsionfree modules over Noetherian normal domains, Bourbaki sequences exist. We give criteria in terms of certain attached matrices for a homomorphism of modules to induce a Bourbaki sequence. Special attention is given to graded Bourbaki sequences. In the second part of the paper, we apply these results to the Koszul cycles of the residue class field and determine particular Bourbaki ideals explicitly. We also obtain in a special case the relationship between the structure of the Rees algebra of a Koszul cycle and the Rees algebra of its Bourbaki ideal., Comment: 29 pages

Based on Katznelson–Tzafriri Theorem on power bounded operators, we prove in this paper a theorem, which applies to the most of the classical Banach algebras of harmonic analysis associated with locally compact groups, to deal with the problems when a given Banach algebra A is Arens regular and when A is an ideal in its bidual. In the second part of the paper, we study the topological center of the bidual of a class of Banach algebras with a multiplier bounded approximate identity.

Since the appearance of Robbins’s paper (1948) the central limit theorem for a sum of a random number of independent identically distributed random variables is one of the most fundamental results in probability, and explains the appearance of the normal distribution in a whole host of diverse applications in mathematics, physics, biology and the social sciences. Compound random sums are extensions of classical random sums when the numbers of independent summands in sums are partial sums of independent identically distributed positive integer-valued random variables, assumed independent of summands of sums. The main aim of this paper is to introduce central limit theorems for normalized compound random sums of independent random variables and establish the convergence rates in types of small-o and large- $$\mathcal{O}$$ estimates, in term of Trotter-distance. The obtained results in this paper are extensions of several known ones.

In this paper we compute the rates of convergence of power series statistical convergence of sequences of positive linear operators. We also investigate some Korovkin type approximation properties of the $$q$$ -Meyer–Konig and Zeller operators and Durrmeyer variant of the $$q$$ -Meyer–Konig and Zeller operators via power series statistical convergence. We show that the approximation results obtained in this paper expand some previous approximation results of the corresponding operators.

The original definition of cluster algebras by Fomin and Zelevinsky has been categorified and generalised in several ways over the course of the past 20 years, giving rise to cluster theory. This study lead to Iyama and Yang's generalised cluster categories $\mathcal{T}/\mathcal{T}^{fd}$ coming from $n$-Calabi-Yau triples $(\mathcal{T}, \mathcal{T}^{fd}, \mathcal{M})$. In this paper, we use some classic tools of homological algebra to give a deeper understanding of such categories $\mathcal{T}/\mathcal{T}^{fd}$. Let $k$ be a field, $n\geq 3$ an integer and $\mathcal{T}$ a $k$-linear triangulated category with a triangulated subcategory $\mathcal{T}^{fd}$ and a subcategory $\mathcal{M}=\text{add}(M)$ such that $(\mathcal{T}, \mathcal{T}^{fd}, \mathcal{M})$ is an $n$-Calabi-Yau triple. In this paper, we prove some properties of the triangulated categories $\mathcal{T}$ and $\mathcal{T}/\mathcal{T}^{fd}$. Our first result gives a relation between the Hom-spaces in these categories, using limits and colimits. Our second result is a Gap Theorem in $\mathcal{T}$, showing when the truncation triangles split. Moreover, we apply our two theorems to present an alternative proof to a result by Guo, originally stated in a more specific setup of dg $k$-algebras $A$ and subcategories of the derived category of dg $A$-modules. This proves that $\mathcal{T}/\mathcal{T}^{fd}$ is Hom-finite and $(n-1)$-Calabi-Yau, its object $M$ is $(n-1)$-cluster tilting and the endomorphism algebras of $M$ over $\mathcal{T}$ and over $\mathcal{T}/\mathcal{T}^{fd}$ are isomorphic. Note that these properties make $\mathcal{T}/\mathcal{T}^{fd}$ a generalisation of the cluster category., Comment: 17 pages. Final accepted version to appear in the Pacific Journal of Mathematics

A dynamical system $$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{ll}{u}_{tt}-\Delta u-\nabla 1\mathrm{n}\;\rho \cdot \nabla u=0& in\kern0.6em {\mathrm{\mathbb{R}}}_{+}^3\times \left(0,T\right),\\ {}{\left.u\right|}_{t=0}={\left.{u}_t\right|}_{t=0}=0& in\kern0.6em \overline{{\mathrm{\mathbb{R}}}_{+}^3},\\ {}{\left.{u}_z\right|}_{z=0}=f& for\kern0.36em 0\le t\le T,\end{array}} $$ is under consideration, where ρ = ρ(x, y, z) is a smooth positive function; f = f(x, y, t) is a boundary control; u = uf (x, y, z, t) is a solution. With the system one associates a response operator R : f ↦ uf|z = 0. The inverse problem is to recover the function ρ via the response operator. A short representation of the local version of the BC-method, which recovers ρ via the data given on a part of the boundary, is provided. If ρ is constant, the forward problem is solved in explicit form. In the paper, the corresponding representations for the solutions and response operator are derived. A way to use them for testing the BC-algorithm, which solves the inverse problem, is outlined. The goal of the paper is to extend the circle of the BC-method users, who are interested in numerical realization of methods for solving inverse problems.

The Monte Carlo method to solve the Cauchy problem for large systems of linear differential equations is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a quick overview of previously obtained results from applying the approach towards the Fredholm-type integral equations is made. In the main part of the paper, the method is applied towards a linear ODE system that is transformed into an equivalent system of the Volterra-type integral equations, which makes it possible to remove the limitations due to the conditions of convergence of the majorant series. The following key theorems are stated. Theorem 1 provides the necessary compliance conditions that should be imposed upon the transition propability and initial distribution densities that initiate the corresponding Markov chain, for which equality between the mathematical expectation of the estimate and the functional of interest would hold. Theorem 2 formulates the equation that governs the estimate’s variance. Theorem 3 states the Markov chain parameters that minimize the variance of the estimate of the functional. Proofs are given for all three theorems. In the practical part of this paper, the proposed method is used to solve a linear ODE system that describes a closed queueing system of ten conventional machines and seven conventional service persons. The solutions are obtained for systems with both constant and time-dependent matrices of coefficients, where the machine breakdown intensity is time dependent. In addition, the solutions obtained by the Monte Carlo and Runge–Kutta methods are compared. The results are presented in the corresponding tables.

In the paper flows of shock waves in multiphase media are described. Gas suspensions are considered as a multiphase medium—liquid drops or solid particles suspended in a gas. In this work, a continual approach in mathematical modeling of the dynamics of multiphase media is applied. The continual approach involves solving the complete hydrodynamic system of equations for each of the mixture components. The system of equations for the dynamics of each phase includes equation of continuity of density (average density for the dispersed phase), equations of conservation of momentum and energy. The carrier medium is described as a viscous, compressible heat-conducting gas. The mathematical model takes into account the velocity and thermal interaction of the phases of the mixture. The system of equations was solved by the MacCormack explicit finite-difference method of the second order of accuracy. To obtain a monotonic numerical solution, a nonlinear correction scheme was applied to the grid function. The influence of parameters of a disperse phase on speed and the shape of the reflected shockwave was numerically studied in the paper. Results of numerical calculations of the distribution of a shock wave from clean gas to a gas suspension, with the subsequent reflection from a firm surface, are given. Calculations allowed to establish that the intensity of a shock wave, reflected from a firm surface, in a gas suspension increases with a decrease of the number of dispersed particles. It is established that in polydisperse gas suspensions existence of fine fraction leads to an increase in the intensity of the reflected shock wave.

This paper systematically investigates the impact of porous media disorder and its coupling with flow rates, favorable and unfavorable viscosity ratios, as well as surface tensions on the dynamics of interfaces development during two-phase drainage flow. A special attention is paid to establishing relationship between the dynamics of fluid–fluid and fluid–solid interfacial lengths, the pore selectivity and the displacement efficiency using imaging of fluids distribution in porous media. As samples of study, we used artificially generated models of porous media with different disorder parameters and with two-types of pore-channels systems "— hexagonal and square. In our methodology, the disorder defines the range of grain size distribution and is applied to control the pore size range. For two-phase flow simulation, the lattice Boltzmann equations and the color-gradient model are applied. It was established the linear relationships between fluid–fluid and fluid–solid interfacial length and saturation of the invaded fluid. During numerical simulations at different disorders, the lack of disorder effect on the fluid–fluid interface dynamics and negative disorder impact on the fluid–solid interface dynamics was found. When varying the flow parameters, it was identified that the increase in the fluid–fluid interface dynamics is accompanied by a decrease in the fluid–solid interface dynamics. For all displacement mechanisms considered in this paper, except capillary fingering, an inverse relationship between pore selectivity and pore number, involved in displacement, was detected. We found a shift of pore selectivity towards higher values with increasing disorder which negatively impacts on the displacement efficiency. In capillary fingering regime, a strong tendency to minimize fluid–fluid interfacial length with surface tension explains the lack of relationship between pore selectivity and pore number which leads to bad predictable displacement efficiency in this regime.

In this paper we consider the following problem: letXk, be a Banach space with a normalised basis (e(k, j))j, whose biorthogonals are denoted by${(e_{(k,j)}^*)_j}$, for$k\in\N$, let$Z=\ell^\infty(X_k:k\kin\N)$be theirl∞-sum, and let$T:Z\to Z$be a bounded linear operator with a large diagonal,i.e.,$$\begin{align*}\inf_{k,j} \big|e^*_{(k,j)}(T(e_{(k,j)})\big|>0.\end{align*}$$Under which condition does the identity onZfactor throughT? The purpose of this paper is to formulate general conditions for which the answer is positive.

The paper is devoted to the evaluation of energy efficiency of High Performance Computing systems used in a scientific supercomputer center. The authors propose a method for the comparison of energy efficiency of computing systems based on the power consumption and execution time of parallel programs. The paper presents a software tool that allows to determine the energy consumption profile of a parallel program automatically without changing its source code. The paper also presents the results of power consumption comparison of NAS Parallel Benchmarks (BT, EP, IS, and LU) tests on computing systems with codenames Intel microprocessors Broadwell, Cascade Lake, Knights Landing and Skylake).

In this paper, we consider the operator sheaf $$ -\Delta +V+\varepsilon {\mathrm{\mathcal{L}}}_{\varepsilon}\left(\lambda \right)+{\lambda}^2 $$ in the space L2(ℝ2), where the real-valued potential V depends only on the first variable x1, e is a small positive parameter, λ is the spectral parameter, $$ {\mathrm{\mathcal{L}}}_{\varepsilon}\left(\lambda \right) $$ is a localized operator bounded with respect to the Laplacian −Δ, and the essential spectrum of this operator is independent of e and contains certain critical points defined as isolated eigenvalues of the operator $$ -\frac{d^2}{dx_1^2}+V\left({x}_1\right) $$ in L2(ℝ). The basic result obtained in this paper states that for small values of e, in neighborhoods of critical points mentioned, isolated eigenvalues of the sheaf considered arise. Sufficient conditions for the existence or absence of such eigenvalues are obtained. The number of arising eigenvalues is determined, and in the case where they exist, the first terms of their asymptotic expansions are found.

This article explores and develops opportunities Fourier method of separation of variables for the study of the asymptotic behavior of harmonic functions on noncompact Riemannian manifolds of a special form. These manifolds generalize spherically symmetric manifold and are called model ones in a series of works. In the first part of the paper, an estimate of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator is obtained on compact Riemannian manifolds $$S$$ in the norm $$C^{m}(S)$$ . In the second part of the paper, the conditions for the unique solvability of the Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions on model manifolds with smooth boundary data at ‘‘infinity’’ are found. It was shown that the solution of this boundary value problem converges to the boundary data in the $$C^{1}$$ -norm.

This paper is the second part of paper (Grishkov and Guerreiro in Sao Paulo J Math Sci v4(1):93–107, 2010) about simple 7-dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic two. In this paper we prove that all simple 7-dimensional Lie algebras over k of absolute toral rank three are isomorphic to the Cartan algebra $$W_1$$ or the Hamilton algebra $$H_2.$$ We hope to prove that those algebras are the unique simple 7-dimensional Lie algebras over the field k. Observe that in the case of absolute toral rank 2 this fact was proved in [2].

In this paper, we investigate a mixed fractional integral boundary value problem with p(t)-Laplacian operator. Firstly, we derive the Green function through the direct computation and obtain the properties of Green function. For $$p(t)\ne $$ constant, under the appropriate conditions of the nonlinear term, we establish the existence result of at least one positive solution of the above problem by means of the Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem. Meanwhile, we also obtain the positive extremal solutions and iterative schemes in view of applying a monotone iterative method. For $$p(t)=$$ constant, by using Guo–Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem, we study the existence of positive solutions of the above problem. These results enrich the ones in the existing literatures. Finally, some examples are included to demonstrate our main results in this paper and we give out an open problem.

In this paper, we present a version of Guan-Zhou’s optimal $L^{2}$ extension theorem and its application. As a main application, we show that under a natural condition, the question posed by Ohsawa in his series paper VIII on the extension of $L^{2}$ holomorphic functions holds. We also give an explicit counterexample which shows that the question fails in general.

In this paper, a new approach to the definition of the interpolating rational process of Fejer – Hermite with first-type Chebyshev – Markov nodes on a segment is studied and some of its approximating properties are described. In the introduction a brief analysis of the results on the topic of the research is carried out. Herein, the methods of the construction of interpolating processes, in particular, Fejer – Hermite processes, in the polynomial and rational approximation are analysed. A new method to determine the interpolating rational Fejer – Hermite process is proposed. One of the main results of this paper is the proof of the uniform convergence of this process for an arbitrary function, which is continuous on the segment, under some restrictions for the poles of approximating functions. This result is preceded by some auxiliary statements describing the properties of special rational functions. The classic methods of mathematical analysis, approximation theory, and theory of functions of a complex variable are used to prove the results of the work. Moreover, we present the numerical analysis of the effectiveness of the application of the constructed interpolating Fejer – Hermite process for the approximation of a continuous function with singularities. The choice of parameters, on which the nodes of interpolation depend, is made in several standard ways. The obtained results can be applied to further study the approximating properties of interpolating processes.

A goal of the paper is to prove new inequalities connecting some functionals of probability distribution functions. These inequalities are based on the strict convexity of functions used in the definition of the functionals. The starting point is the paper “Cramer–von Mises distance: probabilistic interpretation, confidence intervals and neighborhood of model validation” by Ludwig Baringhaus and Norbert Henze. The present paper provides a generalization of inequality obtained in probabilistic interpretation of the Cramer–von Mises distance. If the equality holds there, then a chance to give characterization of some probability distribution functions appears. Considering this fact and a special character of the functional, it is possible to create a class of free-of-distribution two sample tests.

In the first part of this paper, we consider the problem of fill-in of nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) metrics for a triple of Bartnik data $$(\varSigma ,\gamma ,H)$$ . We prove that given a metric $$\gamma $$ on $${{\mathbf {S}}}^{n-1}$$ ( $$3\le n\le 7$$ ), $$({{\mathbf {S}}}^{n-1},\gamma ,H)$$ admits no fill-in of NNSC metrics provided the prescribed mean curvature H is large enough (Theorem 4). Moreover, we prove that if $$\gamma $$ is a positive scalar curvature (PSC) metric isotopic to the standard metric on $${{\mathbf {S}}}^{n-1}$$ , then the much weaker condition that the total mean curvature $$\int _{{{\mathbf {S}}}^{n-1}}H\,{{\mathrm {d}}}\mu _\gamma $$ is large enough rules out NNSC fill-ins, giving an partially affirmative answer to a conjecture by Gromov (Four lectures on scalar curvature, 2019, see P. 23). In the second part of this paper, we investigate the $$\theta $$ -invariant of Bartnik data and obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of PSC fill-ins.

In this paper, we prove the integrability of certain classes of dynamical systems on the tangent bundles of four-dimensional manifolds (systems with four degrees of freedom). The force field considered possessed so-called variable dissipation; they are generalizations of fields studied earlier. This paper continues earlier works of the author devoted to systems on the tangent bundles of two- and three-dimensional manifolds.

The paper contributes to the theory of the elimination of wild ramification for two-dimensional fields and continues the research related to the classification of fields introduced in the work of Masato Kurihara. We consider two-dimensional mixed-characteristic local fields with the characteristic of the finite residue field not equal to 2. The structure of fields that are weakly unramified over their constant subfield, i.e., the so-called standard fields, is well known. It is also known that any field can be extended into the standard one by a finite extension of its constants subfield. In the general case, the question of the minimum degree of this extension remains open. In Kurihara’s paper, two-dimensional fields are subdivided into two types as follows. A linear relation between the differentials of local parameters is considered. If the valuation of the coefficient at the uniformizer is less than that before the second local parameter, the field belongs to type I; otherwise it belongs to type II. This paper is devoted to the fields of type II. For them, we consider an improved Kurihara invariant: for each field, we introduce a quantity Δ equal to the difference between the valuations of the coefficients in the relation for the differentials of the local parameters. The degree of the constant extension that eliminates the ramification is not less for any field than the ramification index over the constant subfield. However, not all the fields have an extension of this degree. It is proved that in order that the extension of the least possible degree may exist, it suffices for the absolute values of Δ to be sufficiently large. The corresponding estimate for Δ depends on the ramification index of the field over its constant subfield.

The present paper aims to develop geometrical approach for finite incompatible deformations arising in growing solids. The phenomena of incompatibility is modeled by specific affine connection on material manifold, referred to as material connection. It provides complete description of local incompatible deformations for simple materials. Meanwhile, the differential-geometric representation of such connection is not unique. It means that one can choose different ways for analytical definition of connection for single given physical problem. This shows that, in general, affine connection formalism provides greater potential than is required to the theory of simple materials (first gradient theory). For better understanding of this inconsistence it is advisable to study different ways for material connection formalization in details. It is the subject of present paper. Affine connection endows manifolds with geometric properties, in particular, with parallel transport on them. For simple materials the parallel transport is elegant mathematical formalization of the concept of a materially uniform (in particular, a stress-free) non-Euclidean reference shape. In fact, one can obtain a connection of physical space by determining the parallel transport as a transformation of the tangent vector, which corresponds to the structure of the physical space containing shapes of the body. One can alternatively construct affine connection of material manifold by defining parallel transport as the transformation of the tangent vector, in which its inverse image with respect to locally uniform embeddings does not change. Utilizing of the conception of material connections and the corresponding methods of non-Euclidean geometry may significantly simplify formulation of the initial-boundary value problems of the theory of incompatible deformations. Connection on the physical manifold is compatible with metric and Levi-Civita relations holds for it. Connection on the material manifold is considered in three alternative variants. The first leads to Weitzenbock space (the space of absolute parallelism or teleparallelism, i.e., space with zero curvature and nonmetricity, but with non-zero torsion) and gives a clear interpretation of the material connection in terms of the local linear transformations which transform an elementary volume of simple material into uniform state. The second one allows to choose the Riemannian space structure (with zero torsion and nonmetricity, but nonzero curvature) in material manifold and it is the most convenient way for deriving of field equations. The third variant is based on Weyl manifold with specified volume form and non-vanishing nonmetricity.
