We present an outline of the problem of irrotational compressible flow past an airfoil at speeds that lie somewhere between those of the supersonic flight of the Concorde and the subsonic flight of commercial airlines. The problem is simplified and the important role of modifying the equations with physics terms is examined.

Given a properly embedded incompressible surface F in a Haken manifold M, there is an integer n depending only on M and F with the following property: If there is a singular annulus in M that meets F in more then n nontrivial loops that are not freely homotopic on F then M contains an essential torus or annulus, or M is a bundle with fiber F, or M is a doubled twisted I-bundle with doubling surface F.

In this article it is shown that for any Banach space E,L (l1,E) always contains uncountably many distinct A/-ideals that are closed subspaces of K(l1,E) and which are not complemented in L (l1,E) . Using standard duality arguments one obtains the result that infinitely many distinct subspaces of K(E, c0) are M-ideals in L(E, c0). In particular, for the case E = c0, this shows that the uniqueness conditions enjoyed by K(lp), p > 1, is not valid for E = c0. The results are obtained by utilizing the identification of L (l1,E) with the vector-valued sequence space lx(E) and to exploit natural decompositions of lx(E)’ afforded by a class of Lprojections on lx(E)’ induced by certain E'-valued vector measures.

A general embedding technique for graph designs and block designs is developed, which transforms the embedding problem for partial designs with ƛ > 1 into the embedding problem for partial designs with ƛ = 1. Given an embedding technique for n-element partial block designs with ƛ = 1 into block designs with f(n) elements, the transformation produces a technique which embeds an «-element partial design with ƛ > 1 and block size k into a design with at most /(3k-1ƛn2) elements. For graph designs and block designs with k > 3, a finite embedding method results. For triple systems, a quadratic embedding technique is obtained immediately; the best previous result here was exponential. Finally, for partial triple systems, Mendelsohn triple systems, and directed triple systems, these quadratic embeddings are improved to linear using a colouring technique.

This paper gives necessary conditions for mixed norm estimates from Lp to Lr (Lq) for solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation

These conditions are best possible if p = 2 or

Starting with the extension of Lomonosov's Lemma by Tychonoff fixed point theorem, a result of Daughtry and Kim — Pearcy-Shields on rank-one commutators is extended to the context of locally convex spaces. Non-zero diagonal coefficients, eigenvalues and simultaneous triangular representations of compact operators on locally convex spaces are studied.

We give a criterion in order that an affine variety defined over any field has a complete intersection (ci.) embedding into some affine space. Moreover we give an example of a smooth real curve C all of whose embeddings into affine spaces are c.i.; nevertheless it has an embedding into ℝ3 which cannot be realized as a c.i. by polynomials.

Relations between uniform paracompactness and uniform para-Lindelöfness of a uniform space and its uniform weight are established.

A relation between Goldie dimensions of a modular lattice L and its sublattice LG of fixed points under a finite group G of automorphisms of L is obtained. The method used also gives a relation between ACC (DCC) for L and for LG. The results obtained are applied to rings and modules.

The existence of metastable immersion or span for space forms and homogeneous spaces is shown to depend only on the two-type of the space.

We show that any W*-continuous semi-group in L∞ is L1-norm continuous. As an application we prove the n-dimensional local ergodic theorem in L∞. We also note that any bounded additive process in L∞ is absolutely continuous.

For n = 1 this local theorem improves those of R. Sato [14] and D. Feyel [6] and for n ≥ 1 it generalizes M. Lin's ones which hold for positive operators [12].

This paper studies complex potentials on homogeneous bundles over a compact Lie group. It extends the previous work of V. Guillemin and A. Uribe on potentials isospectral to the zero potential. Then the notion of a universal potential is introduced, that is a potential which acts on sections by a group representation rather than as a scalar. Finally the inverse question of whether the spectral data of a complex potential on all bundles over S2 determines the potential is answered negatively.

Let R be an integral domain. It is proved that if a nonzero ideal I of R can be generated by n < ∞ elements, then I is invertible (i.e., flat) if and only if I(∩ Rai) = ∩ Iai for all { a1, . . ., a n﹜ ⊂ I. The article's main focus is on torsion-free R-modules E which are LCM-stable in the sense that E(Ra ∩ Rb) = Ea ∩ Eb for all a, b ∈ R. By means of linear relations, LCM-stableness is shown to be equivalent to a weak aspect of flatness. Consequently, if each finitely generated ideal of R may be 2-generated, then each LCM-stable R-module is flat. Finally, LCM-stableness of maximal ideals serves to characterize Prüfer domains, Dedekind domains, principal ideal domains, and Bézout domains amongst suitably larger classes of integral domains.

Every continuous mapping T = (T1,. . ., Tn): holomorphic in Bn has a fixed point.

The Sobczyk-Hammer respectively Yosida-Hewitt decomposition ([17], [19]) generates the class of continuous respectively purely finitely additive charges. In this paper, attention is limited to hereditable properties for these classes. It is proved that the property of continuity is preserved with respect to extensions and that if all extensions of a charge to a charge on a given field are continuous, then the original charge is continuous. An analogous heredity theorem for purely finite additivity holds true in the monogenic case.

A topological space X is said to be somewhat normal provided that for each open cover is a normal cover of X. We show that a completely regular somewhat normal space need not be normal, thereby answering a question of W. M. Fleischman. We note that a collectionwise normal somewhat normal space need not be almost 2-fully normal, as had previously been asserted, and that neither the perfect image nor the perfect preimage of a somewhat normal space has to be somewhat normal.

In [1], the solution of a problem of distinct digital filter enumeration was expressed in terms of enumerating partitions of a rectangular set of lattice points with a straight line, under certain restrictions. Here, firstly, an explicit expression is derived for the number of such partitions in that and a more general case. Secondly, the asymptotic ratio of partitions to square of lattice dimensions is derived for a square lattice.

This article deals with the distributions of the product and the quotient of two correlated exponential random variables. We consider here three types of bivariate exponential distributions: Marshall-Olkin's bivariate exponential distribution, Gumbel's Type I bivariate exponential distribution, and Gumbel's Type II bivariate exponential distribution.

A commutative semigroup G of continuous, selfmappings on (X, d) is called proximately nonexpansive on X if for every x in X and every (β > 0, there is a member g in G such that d(fg(x),fg(y)) ≤ (1 + β) d (x, y) for every f in G and y in X. For a uniformly convex Banach space it is shown that if G is a commutative semigroup of continuous selfmappings on X which is proximately nonexpansive, then a common fixed point exists if there is an x0 in X such that its orbit G(x0) is bounded. Furthermore, the asymptotic center of G(x0) is such a common fixed point.

A composition operator CT on L2(X, Σ,m) is a bounded linear transformation induced by a mapping T : X → X via CTf = f∘ T.

If m has no atoms then the co-rank of CT (i.e., dim is either zero or infinite. As a corollary, when m has no atoms, CT is a Fredholm operator iff it is invertible.
