چکیده

of adèlic points under the product topology? Can one count the points in X(k) of bounded height? In favourable circumstances, the Hardy–Littlewood circle method can systematically provide answers to all of these questions. The focus of this survey will be upon the first and most basic of these questions: when is X(k) 6= ∅ for a given variety X defined over k? In considering what the circle method has to say about this we shall usually restrict our attention to varieties X defined over k that are geometrically integral, non-singular and projective. Recall that such a family is said to satisfy the Hasse principle if any variety in the family has a k-point as soon as it has a point in every completion of k. Sometimes we will drop the assumption on non-singularity, saying that the smooth Hasse principle holds for a family of such varieties when the Hasse principle holds for the smooth locus of X. Quadrics are among the first examples of families satisfying the Hasse principle. Beyond this simple setting, it is quite rare to find varieties which satisfy the Hasse principle. In dimension 2 we have the following counter-example.

بازیابی مبتنی بر شکل اجسام با توصیفگرهای بدست آمده از فرآیند رشد کانتوری

In this paper, a novel shape descriptor for shape-based object retrieval is proposed. A growing process is introduced in which a contour is reconstructed from the bounding circle of the shape. In this growing process, circle points move toward the shape in normal direction until they  get to the shape contour. Three different shape descriptors are extracted from this process: the first descript...

Numerical solution of Troesch's problem using Christov rational functions

We present a collocation method to obtain the approximate solution of Troesch's problem which arises in the confinement of a plasma column by radiation pressure and applied physics. By using the Christov rational functions and collocation points, this method transforms Troesch's problem into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The rate of convergence is shown to be exponential. The numer...

Fixed and coincidence points for hybrid rational Geraghty contractive mappings in ordered $b$-metric spaces

In this paper, we present some fixed and coincidence point theorems for hybrid rational Geraghty contractive mappings in partially ordered $b$-metric spaces. Also, we derive certain coincidence point results for such contractions. An illustrative example is provided here to highlight our findings.

Study of institutional Collaboration in the management Structure of the City Regions Case Study: Process of determining the city of Qazvin Growth boundaries.

This article is about the institutional collaboration in the management structure of a city-region. To achieve this purpose, corporate limits of Qazvin are studied as the city is becoming a region.  The possible institutional cooperative in the centralist governmental structure is planned based on the new regionalism theory and its governance pattern, new institutionalism theory and its emphas...
