A new hypersurface of Tzitzeica type is obtained in all three forms: parametric, implicit and explicit. To a two-parameters family of cubic Tzitzeica surfaces we associate a cubic Finsler function for which the regularity is expressed as the non-flatness of the Tzitzeica indicatrix. A natural relationship is obtained between cubic Tzitzeica surfaces and three-dimensional Berwald spaces with cub...

This paper generalizes the classical cubic spline with the construction of the cubic spline coalescence hidden variable fractal interpolation function (CHFIF) through its moments, i.e. its second derivative at the mesh points. The second derivative of a cubic spline CHFIF is a typical fractal function that is self-affine or non-self-affine depending on the parameters of the generalized iterated...

We study the existence of cubic quotients of finite-dimensional quasi-normed spaces, that is, quotients well isomorphic to `∞ for some k. We give two results of this nature. The first guarantees a proportional dimensional cubic quotient when the envelope is cubic; the second gives an estimate for the size of a cubic quotient in terms of a measure of nonconvexity of the quasi-norm.

Let g(2n, l, d) be the number of general cubic graphs on 2n labeled vertices with l loops and d double edges. We use inclusion and exclusion with two types of properties to determine the asymptotic behavior of g(2n, l, d) and hence that of g(2n), the total number of general cubic graphs of order 2n. We show that almost all general cubic graphs are connected. Moreover, we determined the asymptot...

We describe two computational methods for the construction of cubic graphs with given girth. These were used to produce two independent proofs that the (3, 9)-cages, defined as the smallest cubic graphs of girth 9, have 58 vertices. There are exactly 18 such graphs. We also show that cubic graphs of girth 11 must have at least 106 vertices and cubic graphs of girth 13 must have at least 196 ver...

‘Lattice parameters determined from the synchrotron X-ray diffraction scans of the cubic 200 and tetragonal 220/004 Bragg peaks. Fits to the cubic lattice parameter (black solid line) and the average tetragonal lattice parameter (= 2atet + ctet)/3 (blue solid line), were used to determine the linear coefficients of thermal expansion of 1.95 × 10−4 K−1 (cubic) and 2.66 × 10−4 K−1 (tetragonal).
