the gravity recovery and climate experiment (grace), twin satellites launched in march 2002, are making detailed measurements of the earth's gravity field. it will yield discoveries about gravity and the earth's natural systems. different sensors and instruments have been placed in the grace satellites to fulfill the primary scientific objective of the mission in mapping the earth’s g...

we show that the character space of the vector-valued lipschitz algebra $lip^{alpha}(x, e)$ of order $alpha$ is homeomorphic to the cartesian product $xtimes m_e$ in the product topology, where $x$ is a compact metric space and $e$ is a unital commutative banach algebra. we also characterize the form of each character on $lip^{alpha}(x, e)$. by appealing to the injective tensor product, we then...
