We calculate the matrix of the Frobenius map on the middle dimensional cohomology of the one parameter family that is related by mirror symmetry to the family of all quintic threefolds.

We give a mathematical account of a recent string theory calculation which predicts the number of rational curves on the generic quintic threefold. Our account involves the interpretation of Yukawa couplings in terms of variations of Hodge structure, a new q-expansion principle for functions on the moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds, and the “mirror symmetry” phenomenon recently observed by s...

'Endpoint error' describes the erratic behavior at the beginning and end of the computed acceleration data which is commonly observed after smoothing and differentiating raw displacement data. To evaluate endpoint error produced by four popular smoothing and differentiating techniques, Lanshammar's (1982, J. Biomechanics 15, 99-105) modification of the Pezzack et al. (1977, J. Biomechanics, 10,...

We propose a construction of trivariate C 1 spline functions over a special tetrahedron partition and compare our construction with other known constructions of C 1 spline functions which are summarized in this paper. We improve the Alfeld construction of C 1 quintic spline spaces. For those polygonal domains in R 3 which admit the special tetrahedron partition, our construction provides a more...
