In this article, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution for the Cauchy problem of the Landau-Lifshitz equation of ferromagnetism with external magnetic field. We also show that the solution is globally regular with the exception of at most finitely many blow-up points. An energy identity at blow-up points is presented.

Certain C*-algebras on generators and relations are associated to directed graphs. For a finite graph γ, C*-algebra is canonically isomorphic to Cuntz-Krieger algebra corresponding to the adjacency matrix of γ. It is shown that if a countably infinite graph γ is strongly connected, γ is simple and purely infinite.

Let A be a uniform algebra and M(A) the maximal ideal space of A. A sequence {an} in M(A) is called l1-interpolating if for every sequence (αn) in l1 there exists a function f in A such that f (an) = αn for all n. In this paper, an l1-interpolating sequence is studied for an arbitrary uniform algebra. For some special uniform algebras, an l1-interpolating sequence is equivalent to a familiar l-interpolating sequence. However, in general these two interpolating sequences may be different from each other.

We show that mono-unary algebras have rank at most two and are thus strongly dualizable. We provide an example of a strong duality for a mono-unary algebra using an alter ego with (partial) operations of arity at most two. This mono-unary algebra has rank two and generates the same quasivariety as an injective, hence rank one, mono-unary algebra.

A close connection is uncovered between the lower central series of the free associative algebra of countable rank and the descending Loewy series of the direct sum of all Solomon descent algebras Δn, n ∈ ℕ0. Each irreducible Δn-module is shown to occur in at most one Loewy section of any principal indecomposable Δn-module.A precise condition for his occurence and formulae for the Cartan numbers are obtained.

In this note the authors give the L2(n) boundedness of a class of parametric Marcinkiewicz integral with kernel function Ω in L log+L(Sn−1) and radial function h(|x|) ∈ l ∞ l(Lq)(+) for 1 < q ≦.

As its corollary, the Lp (n)(2 < p < ∞) boundedness of and and with Ω in L log+L (Sn-1) and h(|x|) ∈ l∞ (Lq)(+) are also obtained. Here and are parametric Marcinkiewicz functions corresponding to the Littlewood-Paley g*λ-function and the Lusin area function S, respectively.

This paper studies the concept of strongly omnipresent operators that was recently introduced by the first two authors. An operator T on the space H(G) of holomorphic functions on a complex domain G is called strongly omnipresent whenever the set of T-monsters is residual in H(G), and a T-monster is a function f such that Tf exhibits an extremely ‘wild’ behaviour near the boundary. We obtain sufficient conditions under which an operator is strongly omnipresent, in particular, we show that every onto linear operator is strongly omnipresent. Using these criteria we completely characterize strongly omnipresent composition and multiplication operators.

It is shown that no finite group containing a non-abelian nilpotent subgroup is dualizable. This is in contrast to the known result that every finite abelian group is dualizable (as part of the Pontryagin duality for all abelian groups) and to the result of the authors in a companion article that every finite group with cyclic Sylow subgroups is dualizable.

We prove that polynomial rings in one indeterminate over nil rings are antiregular radical and uniformly strongly prime radical. These give some approximations of Köthe's problem. We also study the uniformly strongly prime and superprime radicals of polynomial rings in non-commuting indeterminates. Moreover, we show that the semi-uniformly strongly prime radical coincides with the uniformly strongly prime radical and that the class of semi-superprime rings is closed under taking finite subdirect sums.

In this paper, the variety of three-valued closure algebras, that is, closure algebras with the property that the open elements from a three-valued Heyting algebra, is investigated. Particularly, the structure of the finitely generated free objects in this variety is determined.

Calderón type reproducing formulae with applications have been studied on one- and higher-dimensional Lipschitz graphs. In this note we study higher order Calderón reproducing formulae on star-shaped and non-star-shaped closed Lipschitz curves and surfaces.

A locally compact semilattice with open principal filters is a zero-dimensional scattered space. Cardinal invariants of locally compact and compact semilattices with open principal filters are investigated. Structure of topological semilattices on the one-point Alexandroff compactification of an uncountable discrete space and linearly ordered compact semilattices with open principal filters are researched.

An algebra A is homogeneous if the automorphism group of A acts transitively on the one dimensional subspaces of A. Suppose A is a homogeneous algebra over an infinite field k. Let La denote left multiplication by any nonzero element a ∈ A. Several results are proved concerning the structure of A in terms of La. In particular, it is shown that A decomposes as the direct sum A = ker La Im La. These results are then successfully applied to the problem of classifying the infinite homogeneous algebras of small dimension.

For a real-valued ergodic process X with strictly stationary increments satisfying some measurability and continuity assumptions it is proved that the long-run ‘average behaviour’ of all its increments over finite intervals replicates the distribution of the corresponding increments of X in a strong sense. Moreover, every Lévy process has a version that possesses this ergodic path property.

Let G be a locally compact Hausdorif abelian group and X be a complex Banach space. Let C(G, X) denote the space of all continuous functions f: G → X, with the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. Let X′ denote the dual of X with the weak* topology. Let Mc(G, X′) denote the space of all X′-valued compactly supported regular measures of finite variation on G. For a function f ∈ C(G, X) and μ ∈ Mc(G, X′), we define the notion of convolution f * μ. A function f ∈ C(G, X) is called mean-periodic if there exists a non-trivial measure μ ∈ Mc(G, X′) such that f * μ = 0. For μ ∈ Mc(G, X′), let M P(μ) = {f ∈ C(G, X): f * μ = 0} and let M P(G, X) = ∪μ M P(μ). In this paper we analyse the following questions: Is M P(G, X) ≠ 0? Is M P(G, X) ≠ C(G, X)? Is M P(G, X) dense in C(G, X)? Is M P(μ) generated by ‘exponential monomials’ in it? We answer these questions for the groups G = ℝ, the real line, and G = T, the circle group. Problems of spectral analysis and spectral synthesis for C(ℝ, X) and C(T, X) are also analysed.

In this paper we prove a generalization of the well known theorem of Krasnoselskii on the superposition operator in which the domain of Nemytskii's operator is a product space. We also give an application of this result.

Westwick's convexity theorem on the numerical range is generalized in the context of compact connected Lie groups.

A harmonic NA group is a suitable solvable extension of a two-step nilpotent Lie group N of Heisenberg type by R+, which acts on N by anisotropic dilations. A hypergroup is a locally compact space for which the space of Borel measures has a convolution structure preserving the probability measures and satisfying suitable conditions. We describe a class of hypergroups associated to NA groups.

Suppose that a graph process begins with n isolated vertices, to which edges are added randomly one by one so that the maximum degree of the induced graph is always at most d. In a previous article, the authors showed that as n → ∞, with probability tending to 1, the result of this process is a d-regular graph. This graph is shown to be connected with probability asymptotic to 1.

We prove that the lattice points on the circles x2 + y2 = n are well distributed for most circles containing lattice points.
