Although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. Some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.Here, after criticizi...

A smooth, projective surface S is called a standard isotrivial fibration if there exists a finite group G which acts faithfully on two smooth projective curves C1 and C2, so that S is isomorphic to the minimal desingularization of T := (C1 × C2)/G, where G acts diagonally on the product. When the action of G is free, then S = T is called a quasi-bundle. In this paper we analyse several numerica...

We present some constructions of limits and colimits in pro-categories. These are critical tools in several applications. In particular, certain technical arguments concerning strict pro-maps are essential for a theorem about étale homotopy types. Also, we show that cofiltered limits in pro-categories commute with finite colimits.

Floer cohomology groups are usually defined over a field of formal functions (a Novikov field). Under certain assumptions, one can equip them with connections, which means operations of differentiation with respect to the Novikov variable. This allows one to write differential equations for Floer cohomology classes. Here, we apply that idea to symplectic cohomology groups associated to Lefschet...

(1.1) H = {(x, y) ∈ (C) × C : y1y2 + p(x) = z}, Here, p : (C) → C is the superpotential mirror to Y (following [7] or [9]), and z is any regular value of p. H is an affine threefold with trivial canonical bundle. Hence, it has a Fukaya category Fuk(H), whose objects are compact exact Lagrangian submanifolds equipped with gradings and Spin structures. This is an A∞-category over C. Consider the ...

We introduce a notion of cardinality for the augmentation category associated to a Legendrian knot or link in standard contact R3. This ‘homotopy cardinality’ is an invariant of the category and allows for a weighted count of augmentations, which we prove to be determined by the ruling polynomial of the link. We present an application to the augmentation category of doubly Lagrangian slice knots.

in this paper, we give an analytical approximate solution for an integro- differential equation which describes the charged particle motion for certain configurations of oscillating magnetic fields is considered. the homotopy analysis method (ham) is used for solving this equation. several examples are given to reconfirm the efficiency of these algorithms. the results of applying this procedure...

in this study, a new efficient semi-analytical method is introduced to give approximate solutions of strongly nonlinear oscillators. the proposed method is based on combination of two different methods, the multi-step homotopy analysis method and spectral method, called the multi-step spectral homotopy analysis method (msham). in this method, firstly, we propose a new spectral homotopy analysis...

We construct compatible symplectic structures on manifolds Q3 × S1 for Waldhausen Q3 and show it is possible iff Q3 is a Stallings fibrations over S1. We describe bordisms of Lagrangian T 2-bundles over S1 × I .
