Two definitions of the notion of a chaotic transformation are compared: sensitivity to initial conditions and sensitivity to perturbations. Only the later is compatible with the idea that information has a

In this paper we propose a new method of determining the stability of queueing systems. We attain it using the absorbing process and introduce the untraceable events method to show the existence of the absorbing process. The advantage of our method is that we are able to discuss the stability of various variables for both discrete and continuous parameters in a general framework with nonstation...

In this paper, we use the structure theory to prove an analog to a well-known theorem of Herstein as follows: Let R be a ring with center C such that for all x,y ? R either [x,y]= 0 or x-x [x,y]? C for some non negative integer n= n(x,y) dependingon x and y. Then R is commutative.

In this paper we show that certain types of cosmological brane configurations may induce topological inflation. In generic models for topological inflation, there is a strict bound for the potential of the inflaton field. Naively, it seems that these constraints can be removed if inflation starts with a hybrid potential. However, it is difficult to combine topological inflation and hybrid infla...

This is a correction to the proof of Theorem 2.1 of [1]. An error occurred in the " proof " of Lemma 2.2, which is false. The following should replace the proof of (c) (Sect. II, p. 821ff.), which will correct the proof of the theorem: The initial condition is satisfied by the summand in (2.3) coming from the identity permutation id. So what we have to show is σ =id C r

In the theory of deformation of Okamoto-Painlevé pair (S, Y ), a local cohomology group H D (ΘS(− logD)) plays an important role. In this paper, we estimate the local cohomology group of pair (S, Y ) for several types, and obtain the following results. For a pair (S, Y ) corresponding to the space of initial conditions of the Painlevé equations, we show that the local cohomology group H D (ΘS(−...

In a recent work (Covas et al., 1996), the behaviour and the robustness of truncated dynamos with a dynamic were studied with respect to a number of changes in the driving term of the dynamic equation, which was considered previously by Schmalz and Stix (1991) to be of the form A B . Here we review and extend our previous work and consider the effect of adding a quadratic quenching term of the ...

We solve the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg–de Vries equation with steplike finite-gap initial conditions under the assumption that the perturbations have a given number of derivatives and moments finite.
