Sum of Even Powers of Real Linear Forms
Author: Bruce Arie Reznick
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821825232
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
This work initiates a systematic analysis of the representation of real forms of even degree as sums of powers of linear forms and the resulting implications in real algebraic geometry, number theory, combinatorics, functional analysis, and numerical analysis. The proofs utilize elementary techniques from linear algebra, convexity, number theory, and real algebraic geometry and many explicit examples and relevant historical remarks are presented.

On the Existence of Feller Semigroups with Boundary Conditions
Author: Kazuaki Taira
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821825356
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
This paper is devoted to the functional analytic approach to the problem of construction of Feller semigroups with Ventcel' (Wentzell) boundary conditions. This paper considers the non-transversal case and solves from the viewpoint of functional analysis the problem of construction of Feller semigroups for elliptic Waldenfels operators. Intuitively, our result may be stated as follows: One can construct a Feller semigroup corresponding to such a diffusion phenomenon that a Markovian particle moves both by jumps and continuously in the state space until it "dies" at which time it reaches the set where the absorption phenomenon occurs.

The Inverse Problem of the Calculus of Variations for Ordinary Differential Equations
Author: Ian Anderson
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 082182533X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
This monograph explores various aspects of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for systems of ordinary differential equations. The main problem centres on determining the existence and degree of generality of Lagrangians whose system of Euler-Lagrange equations coicides with a given system of ordinary differential equations. The authors rederive the basic necessary and sufficient conditions of Douglas for second order equations and extend them to equations of higher order using methods of the variational bicomplex of Tulcyjew, Vinogradov, and Tsujishita. The authors present an algorithm, based upon exterior differential systems techniques, for solving the inverse problem for second order equations. a number of new examples illustrate the effectiveness of this approach.

A Generalization of Riemann Mappings and Geometric Structures on a Space of Domains in C$^n$
Author: Stephen Semmes
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821825321
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
Similar in philosophy to the study of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, the central theme of this book is that spaces of (pseudoconvex) domains should admit geometrical structures that reflect the complex geometry of the underlying domains in a natural way. With its unusual geometric perspective of some topics in several complex variables, this book appeals to those who view much of mathematics in broadly geometrical terms.

Eigenvalues of the Laplacian for Hecke Triangle Groups
Author: Dennis A. Hejhal
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821825291
Category : Automorphic functions
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Paper I is concerned with computational aspects of the Selberg trace formalism, considering the usual type of eigenfunction and including an analysis of pseudo cusp forms and their residual effects. Paper II examines the modular group PSL (2, [bold]Z), as such groups have both a discrete and continuous spectrum. This paper only examines the discrete side of the spectrum.

The Polynomial Identities and Invariants of $n \times n$ Matrices
Author: Edward Formanek
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821807307
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 65
Book Description
The theory of polynomial identities, as a well-defined field of study, began with a well-known 1948 article of Kaplansky. The field has since developed along two branches: the structural, which investigates the properties of rings which satisfy a polynomial identity; and the varietal, which investigates the set of polynomials in the free ring which vanish under all specializations in a given ring. This book is based on lectures delivered during an NSF-CBMS Regional Conference, held at DePaul University in July 1990, at which the author was the principal lecturer. The first part of the book is concerned with polynomial identity rings. The emphasis is on those parts of the theory related to n x n matrices, including the major structure theorems and the construction of certain polynomials identities and central polynomials for n x n matrices. The ring of generic matrices and its centre is described. The author then moves on to the invariants of n x n matrices, beginning with the first and second fundamental theorems, which are used to describe the polynomial identities satisfied by n x n matrices. One of the exceptional features of this book is the way it emphasizes the connection between polynomial identities and invariants of n x n matrices. Accessible to those with background at the level of a first-year graduate course in algebra, this book gives readers an understanding of polynomial identity rings and invariant theory, as well as an indication of current problems and research in these areas.

Semistability of Amalgamated Products and HNN-Extensions
Author: Michael L. Mihalik
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821825313
Category : Free products
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
In this work, the authors show that amalgamated products and HNN-extensions of finitely presented semistable at infinity groups are also semistable at infinity. A major step toward determining whether all finitely presented groups are semistable at infinity, this result easily generalizes to finite graphs of groups. The theory of group actions on trees and techniques derived from the proof of Dunwoody's accessibility theorem are key ingredients in this work.

ISBN: 0821825372
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
This work is concerned with an algebraically completely integrable Hamiltonian system whose solutions may be used to describe the finite gap solutions of the AKNS spectral problem, a first order two-by-two matrix linear system. Trace formulas, constraints, Lax paris, and constants of motion are obtained using Krichever's algebraic inverse spectral transform. Computations are carried out explicityly over the class of spectral problems with square matrix coefficients.
