REGULAR MAPS-COMBINATORIAL OBJECTS RELATING DIFFERENT FIELDS OF MATHEMATICS

Nedela, Roman Korean Mathematical Society 2001 대한수학회지 Vol.38 No.5

Regular maps and hypermaps are cellular decompositions of closed surfaces exhibiting the highest possible number of symmetries. The five Platonic solids present the most familar examples of regular maps. The gret dodecahedron, a 5-valent pentagonal regular map on the surface of genus 5 discovered by Kepler, is probably the first known non-spherical regular map. Modern history of regular maps goes back at least to Klein (1878) who described in [59] a regular map of type (3, 7) on the orientable surface of genus 3. In its early times, the study of regular maps was closely connected with group theory as one can see in Burnside’s famous monograph [19], and more recently in Coxeter’s and Moser’s book [25] (Chapter 8). The present-time interest in regular maps extends to their connection to Dyck\`s triangle groups, Riemann surfaces, algebraic curves, Galois groups and other areas, Many of these links are nicely surveyed in the recent papers of Jones [55] and Jones and Singerman [54]. The presented survey paper is based on the talk given by the author at the conference “Mathematics in the New Millenium”held in Seoul, October 2000. The idea was, on one hand side, to show the relationship of (regular) maps and hypermaps to the above mentioned fields of mathematics. On the other hand, we wanted to stress some ideas and results that are important for understanding of the nature of these interesting mathematical objects.

CERTAIN FRACTIONAL INTEGRAL INEQUALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH PATHWAY FRACTIONAL INTEGRAL OPERATORS

Agarwal, Praveen,Choi, Junesang Korean Mathematical Society 2016 대한수학회보 Vol.53 No.1

During the past two decades or so, fractional integral inequalities have proved to be one of the most powerful and far-reaching tools for the development of many branches of pure and applied mathematics. Very recently, many authors have presented some generalized inequalities involving the fractional integral operators. Here, using the pathway fractional integral operator, we give some presumably new and potentially useful fractional integral inequalities whose special cases are shown to yield corresponding inequalities associated with Riemann-Liouville type fractional integral operators. Relevant connections of the results presented here with those earlier ones are also pointed out.

In our paper "Paranormal contractions and invariant subspaces" published in Journal of the Korean Mathematical Society, Volume 40 (2003), Number 6, pp.933-942, the statement to observation (1) on page 935 should read:(omitted)

CORRECTION TO OUR PAPER: PROJECTIVE SYSTEMS SUPPORTED ON THE COMPLEMENT OF TWO LINEAR SUBSPACES (BULL. KOREAN MATH. SOC. 37(2000), 493-505)

Homma, Masaaki,Kim, Seon-Jeong,Yoo, Mi-Ja Korean Mathematical Society 2004 대한수학회보 Vol.41 No.1

In our previous paper (Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 37(2000), 493-505), we claimed a theorem on a certain subset of a projective space over a finite field (Theorem 3.1). Recently, however, Professor Kato pointed out that our proof does not work if the field consists of two elements. Here we give an alternative proof of the theorem for the exceptional case.

D. H. LEHMER PROBLEM OVER HALF INTERVALS

Xu, Zhefeng Korean Mathematical Society 2009 대한수학회지 Vol.46 No.3

Let $q\;{\geq}\;3$ be an odd integer and a be an integer coprime to q. Denote by N(a, q) the number of pairs of integers b, c with $bc\;{\equiv}\;a$ (mod q), $1\;{\leq}\;b$, $c\;{\leq}\;{\frac{q-1}{2}}$ and with b, c having different parity. The main purpose of this paper is to study the sum ${\sum}^{'q}_{a=1}\;\(N(a,\;q)\;-\;\frac{{\phi}(q)}{8}\)^2$ and obtain a sharp asymptotic formula.

FLOER MINI-MAX THEORY, THE CERF DIAGRAM, AND THE SPECTRAL INVARIANTS

Oh, Yong-Geun Korean Mathematical Society 2009 대한수학회지 Vol.46 No.2

The author previously defined the spectral invariants, denoted by $\rho(H;\;a)$, of a Hamiltonian function H as the mini-max value of the action functional ${\cal{A}}_H$ over the Novikov Floer cycles in the Floer homology class dual to the quantum cohomology class a. The spectrality axiom of the invariant $\rho(H;\;a)$ states that the mini-max value is a critical value of the action functional ${\cal{A}}_H$. The main purpose of the present paper is to prove this axiom for nondegenerate Hamiltonian functions in irrational symplectic manifolds (M, $\omega$). We also prove that the spectral invariant function ${\rho}_a$ : $H\;{\mapsto}\;\rho(H;\;a)$ can be pushed down to a continuous function defined on the universal (${\acute{e}}tale$) covering space $\widetilde{HAM}$(M, $\omega$) of the group Ham((M, $\omega$) of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on general (M, $\omega$). For a certain generic homotopy, which we call a Cerf homotopy ${\cal{H}}\;=\;\{H^s\}_{0{\leq}s{\leq}1}$ of Hamiltonians, the function ${\rho}_a\;{\circ}\;{\cal{H}}$ : $s\;{\mapsto}\;{\rho}(H^s;\;a)$ is piecewise smooth away from a countable subset of [0, 1] for each non-zero quantum cohomology class a. The proof of this nondegenerate spectrality relies on several new ingredients in the chain level Floer theory, which have their own independent interest: a structure theorem on the Cerf bifurcation diagram of the critical values of the action functionals associated to a generic one-parameter family of Hamiltonian functions, a general structure theorem and the handle sliding lemma of Novikov Floer cycles over such a family and a family version of new transversality statements involving the Floer chain map, and many others. We call this chain level Floer theory as a whole the Floer mini-max theory.

ANALYSIS OF A STAGE-STRUCTURED PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH IMPULSIVE PERTURBATIONS AND TIME DELAYS

Song, Xinyu,Li, Senlin,Li, An Korean Mathematical Society 2009 대한수학회지 Vol.46 No.1

In this paper, a stage-structured predator-prey system with impulsive perturbations and time delays is presented to investigate the ecological problem of how a pest population and natural enemy population can coexist. Sufficient conditions are obtained using a discrete dynamical system determined by a stroboscopic map, which guarantee that a 'predator-extinction' periodic solution is globally attractive. When the impulsive period is longer than some time threshold or the impulsive harvesting rate is below a control threshold, the system is permanent. Our results provide some reasonable suggestions for pest management.

FREDHOLM MAPPINGS AND BANACH MANIFOLDS

Arbizu, Jose Mara Soriano Korean Mathematical Society 2009 대한수학회지 Vol.46 No.3

Two $C^1$-mappings, whose domain is a connected compact $C^1$-Banach manifold modelled over a Banach space X over $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ and whose range is a Banach space Y over $\mathbb{K}$, are introduced. Sufficient conditions are given to assert they share only a value. The proof of the result, which is based upon continuation methods, is constructive.

WHEN IS AN ENDOMORPHISM RING P-COHERENT?

Mao, Lixin Korean Mathematical Society 2009 대한수학회지 Vol.46 No.1

A ring is called left P-coherent if every principal left ideal is finitely presented. Let M be a right R-module with the endomorphism ring S. We mainly study the P-coherence of S. It is shown that S is a left P-coherent ring if and only if the left annihilator $ann_S$(X) is a finitely generated left ideal of S for any M-cyclic submodule X of M if and only if every cyclically M-presented right R-module has an M-torsionfree preenvelope. As applications, we investigate when the endomorphism ring S is left PP or von Neumann regular.

LINEAR OPERATORS THAT PRESERVE PERIMETERS OF MATRICES OVER SEMIRINGS

Song, Seok-Zun,Kang, Kyung-Tae,Beasley, Leroy B. Korean Mathematical Society 2009 대한수학회지 Vol.46 No.1

A rank one matrix can be factored as $\mathbf{u}^t\mathbf{v}$ for vectors $\mathbf{u}$ and $\mathbf{v}$ of appropriate orders. The perimeter of this rank one matrix is the number of nonzero entries in $\mathbf{u}$ plus the number of nonzero entries in $\mathbf{v}$. A matrix of rank k is the sum of k rank one matrices. The perimeter of a matrix of rank k is the minimum of the sums of perimeters of the rank one matrices. In this article we characterize the linear operators that preserve perimeters of matrices over semirings.
