How long is a Proof? - A short note

نویسنده

  • A. G. Yaneff
چکیده

Using a simple frame of logic, specificationally the TSP is tran-sormed to a Hamiltonian Path Problem. A brief consideration of the Lin-Kernighan heuristic for the TSP indirectly provides an answer to Godel's question 'How long is a proof?', by treating 'proving' as an optimisation problem...

Groups with one conjugacy class of non-normal subgroups‎ - ‎a short proof

For a finite group $G$ let $nu(G)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $G$. We give a short proof of a theorem of Brandl, which classifies finite groups with $nu(G)=1$.

A Note on the Descent Property Theorem for the Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Algorithm CCOMB Proposed by Andrei

In [1] (Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Unconstrained Optimization J. Optimization. Theory Appl. 141 (2009) 249 - 264), an efficient hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm, the CCOMB algorithm is proposed for solving unconstrained optimization problems. However, the proof of Theorem 2.1 in [1] is incorrect due to an erroneous inequality which used to indicate the descent property for the s...

A SHORT PROOF OF A RESULT OF NAGEL

Let $(R,fm)$ be a Gorenstein local ring and$M,N$ be two finitely generated modules over $R$. Nagel proved that if $M$ and $N$ are inthe same even liaison class, thenone has $H^i_{fm}(M)cong H^i_{fm}(N)$ for all $iIn this paper, we provide a short proof to this result.
