The path of the rook is a curve γ (possibly, self-intersecting) inside an 8 × 8square. The length of γ should be at least 64 since all squares are visited. Next, I assumed that the rook turned each time by 90 degrees (and never 180). Then the total turn of γ is nπ/2, where n is the number of moves. Thus I traded the original problem for the following one: What is the smallest total turn of a cu...

Let L be the function field of a projective space P n k over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, and H be the group of projective transformations. An H-sheaf V on P n k is a collection of isomorphisms V −→ g * V for each g ∈ H satisfying the chain rule. We construct, for any n > 1, a fully faithful functor from the category of finite-dimensional L-semi-linear representations...

Consider the Jacobian of a genus two curve defined over a finite field and with complex multiplication. In this paper we show that if the l-Sylow subgroup of the Jacobian is not cyclic, then the embedding degree of the Jacobian with respect to l is one.

The sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec) family is a recently described member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Within this Siglec family there exists a subgroup of molecules which bear a very high degree of homology with the molecule Siglec-3 (CD33), and has thus been designated the Siglec-3-like subgroup of Siglecs. The members of this subgroup have been localized to chro...

Given a monic linear pencil L in g variables, let PL = (PL(n))n∈N where PL(n) := { X ∈ Sn | L(X) 0 } , and Sn is the set of g-tuples of symmetric n × n matrices. Because L is a monic linear pencil, each PL(n) is convex with interior, and conversely it is known that convex bounded noncommutative semialgebraic sets with interior are all of the form PL. The main result of this paper establishes a ...

The present paper gives characterizations of radially u.s.c. convex and pseudoconvex functions f : X → R defined on a convex subset X of a real linear space E in terms of first and second-order upper Dini-directional derivatives. Observing that the property f radially u.s.c. does not require a topological structure of E, we draw the possibility to state our results for arbitrary real linear spa...

In the field of nonlinear programming (in continuous variables) convex analysis [22, 23] plays a pivotal role both in theory and in practice. An analogous theory for discrete optimization (nonlinear integer programming), called " discrete convex analysis " [18, 17], is developed for L-convex and M-convex functions by adapting the ideas in convex analysis and generalizing the results in matroid ...

Let V be a real linear space. The functor ConvexComb(V ) yielding a set is defined by: (Def. 1) For every set L holds L ∈ ConvexComb(V ) iff L is a convex combination of V . Let V be a real linear space and let M be a non empty subset of V . The functor ConvexComb(M) yielding a set is defined as follows: (Def. 2) For every set L holds L ∈ ConvexComb(M) iff L is a convex combination of M . We no...

and Applied Analysis 3 In this paper, we generalize and modify the iteration of Abbas et al. 7 from two mapping to the infinite family mappings {Ti : i ∈ N} of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space. Let {Ti} be a countable family of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mapping from a bounded and closed convex subset K of a Banach space into P K with F : ⋂∞ i 1 F Ti...
