let $a$ be an arbitrary banach algebra and $varphi$ a homomorphism from $a$ onto $bbb c$. our first purpose in this paper is to give some equivalent conditions under which guarantees a $varphi$-mean of norm one. then we find some conditions under which there exists a $varphi$-mean in the weak$^*$ cluster of ${ain a; |a|=varphi(a)=1}$ in $a^{**}$.

Let $A$ be an arbitrary Banach algebra and $varphi$ a homomorphism from $A$ onto $Bbb C$. Our first purpose in this paper is to give some equivalent conditions under which guarantees a $varphi$-mean of norm one. Then we find some conditions under which there exists a $varphi$-mean in the weak$^*$ cluster of ${ain A; |a|=varphi(a)=1}$ in $A^{**}$.

For a monochrome layer $x$ of opacity $0\le o_x\le1 $ placed on another monochrome layer of opacity 1, the result given by the standard formula is $$\small\Pi\left({\bf C}_\varphi\right)=1+\sum_{n=1}^2\left(2-n-(-1)^no_{\chi(\varphi+1)}\right)\left(\chi(n+\varphi-1)-o_{\chi(n+\varphi-1)}\right),$$ the formula being of course explained in detail in this paper. We will eventually deduce a very si...

For a fixed graph $H$, the reconfiguration problem for $H$-colourings (i.e. homomorphisms to $H$) asks: given a graph $G$ and two $H$-colourings $\varphi$ and $\psi$ of $G$, does there exist a sequence $f_0,\dots,f_m$ of $H$-colourings such that $f_0=\varphi$, $f_m=\psi$ and $f_i(u)f_{i+1}(v)\in E(H)$ for every $0\leq i<m$ and $uv\in E(G)$? If the graph $G$ is loop-free, then this is the equiva...

(3) JC'C' and (3) JHNHα couplings are related to the intervening backbone torsion angle ${\varphi }$ by standard Karplus equations. Although these couplings are known to be affected by parameters other than ${\varphi }$, including H-bonding, valence angles and residue type, experimental results and quantum calculations indicate that the impact of these latter parameters is typically very small....

Emulsions of water in as-recovered native crude oils of diverse geographical origin evidently possess some common morphological features. At low volume fractions varphi of water, the viscosity behavior of emulsions is governed by the presence of flocculated clusters of water droplets, whereas characteristic tight gels, composed of visually monodisperse small droplets, are responsible for the vi...

We study by molecular dynamics the interplay between arrest and crystallization in hard spheres. For state points in the plane of volume fraction (0.54 <or= varphi <or= 0.63) and polydispersity (0 <or= s <or= 0.085), we delineate states that spontaneously crystallize from those that do not. For noncrystallizing (or precrystallization) samples we find isodiffusivity lines consistent with an idea...

Let  $left{a_alpharight}_{alphain I}$ be a bounded net in a Banach algebra $A$ and $varphi$ a nonzero multiplicative linear functional on $A$. In this paper, we deal with the problem of when $|aa_alpha-varphi(a)a_alpha|to0$ uniformly for all $a$ in weakly compact subsets of $A$. We show that Banach algebras associated to locally compact groups such  as Segal algebras and $L^1$-algebras are resp...

Assume a diploid species consisting of an infinite number of competing demes, each having N(e) reproducing members and in which mating is at random. Then consider a locus at which a pair of alleles A and A' are segregating, where A' is the "altruistic allele," which has selective disadvantage s' relative to A with respect to individual selection, but which is beneficial for a deme in competitio...

We report an experimental investigation of the caging motion in a uniformly heated granular fluid for a wide range of filling fractions, varphi. At low varphi the classic diffusive behavior of a fluid is observed. However, as varphi is increased, temporary cages develop and particles become increasingly trapped by their neighbors. We statistically analyze particle trajectories and observe a num...
