Explicit Volume-Preserving Splitting Methods for Linear and Quadratic Divergence-Free Vector Fields

We present new explicit volume-preserving methods based on splitting for polynomial divergence-free vector fields. The methods can be divided in two classes: methods that distinguish between the diagonal part and the off-diagonal part and methods that do not. For the methods in the first class it is possible to combine different treatments of the diagonal and off-diagonal parts, giving rise to a number of possible combinations. This paper is dedicated to Arieh Iserles on the occasion of his 60th anniversary.     

On the Vanishing Orders of Vector Fields on Fano Varieties of Picard Number 1

We show that the vanishing order of a non-zero vector field at a generic point of a smooth Fano variety of Picard number 1 cannot exceed the dimension of the Fano variety. Furthermore, if there exist only finitely many rational curves of minimal degree through a generic point of the Fano variety, we show that a non-zero vector field cannot vanish at a generic point of the Fano variety.

Higher-Order Variational Sets and Higher-Order Optimality Conditions for Proper Efficiency in Set-Valued Nonsmooth Vector Optimization

Higher-order variational sets are proposed for set-valued mappings, which are shown to be more convenient than generalized derivatives in approximating mappings at a considered point. Both higher-order necessary and sufficient conditions for local Henig-proper efficiency, local strong Henig-proper efficiency and local λ-proper efficiency in set-valued nonsmooth vector optimization are established using these sets. The technique is simple and the results help to unify first and higher-order conditions. As consequences, recent existing results are derived. Examples are provided to show some advantages of our notions and results. This work was partially supported by the National Basic Research Program in Natural Sciences of Vietnam.

A Program for Computing the Cohomology of Lie Superalgebras of Vector Fields

The cohomology of Lie (super)algebras has many important applications in mathematics and physics. At present, since the required algebraic computations are very tedious, the cohomology is explicitly computed only in a few cases for different classes of Lie (super)algebras. That is why application of computer algebra methods is important for this problem. We describe an algorithm (and its C implementation) for computing the cohomology of Lie algebras and superalgebras. In elaborating the algorithm, we focused mainly on the cohomology with coefficients in trivial, adjoint, and coadjoint modules for Lie (super)algebras of the formal vector fields. These algebras have many applications to modern supersymmetric models of theoretical and mathematical physics. As an example, we consider the cohomology of the Poisson algebra Po(2) with coefficients in the trivial module and present 3- and 5-cocycles found by a computer. Bibliography: 6 titles.

Tame Kernels for Biquadratic Number Fields

Let and , d₁ and d₂ squarefree integers, be an imaginary field and a biquadratic field, respectively. Let S be the set consisting of all infinite primes, all dyadic primes and all finite primes which ramify in E. Suppose the 4-rank of the class group of F is zero and the S-ideal class group of F has odd order, we give the forms of all elements of order ⩽ 2 in K₂O_E and use the Hurrelbrink and Kolster’s method [Hurrelbrink, J. and Kolster, M.: J. reine angew. Math. 499 (1998), 145–188] to obtain the forms of all elements of order 4 in K₂O_E. Received: September 2004     

A Self‐Dual Polar Factorization for Vector Fields

We show that any nondegenerate vector field u in \begin{align*}L^{\infty}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^N)\end{align*}, where Ω is a bounded domain in \begin{align*}\mathbb{R}^N\end{align*}, can be written as \begin{align*}u(x)= \nabla_1 H(S(x), x)\quad {\text for a.e.\ x \in \Omega}\end{align*}}, where S is a measure‐preserving point transformation on Ω such that \begin{align*}S^2=I\end{align*} a.e. (an involution), and \begin{align*}H: \mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}\end{align*} is a globally Lipschitz antisymmetric convex‐concave Hamiltonian. Moreover, u is a monotone map if and only if S can be taken to be the identity, which suggests that our result is a self‐dual version of Brenier's polar decomposition for the vector field as \begin{align*}u(x)=\nabla \phi (S(x))\end{align*}, where ? is convex and S is a measure‐preserving transformation. We also describe how our polar decomposition can be reformulated as a (self‐dual) mass transport problem. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On A Minimization Problem for Vector Fields in L1

This paper treats the problem of minimizing the norm of vectorfields in L¹ with prescribed divergence. The ridge of . playsan important role in the analysis, and in the case where R²is a polygonal domain, the ridge is thoroughly analysed andsome examples are presented. In the case where Rⁿ is a Lipschitzdomain and the divergence is a finite positive Borel measure,the infimum is calculated, and it is shown that if an extremalexists, then it is of the form ₁ = –Fd, where F is a nonnegativefunction and d(x) is the distance from x to the boundary .Finally, if R² is a polygonal domain and the measure is representedby a nonnegative continuous function, then an explicit expressionfor the extremal is given, and it is proven that this extremalis unique.

On Certain Commutator Estimates for Vector Fields

A unifying approach for proving certain commutator estimates involving smooth, not-necessarily divergence-free vector fields is introduced and implemented in the scales of weighted Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov spaces and certain variable exponent Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov spaces. Such commutator estimates are motivated by the study of well-posedness results for some models in incompressible fluid mechanics.     

Further Reduction of Normal Forms for Vector Fields

We study Lie's method in the way of Ushiki for further reduction of normal forms for vector fields with singularity at the origin. We give further reduction of normal forms in two typical cases for vector fields in dimension 2: one with a rotation as its linear part and the other with a nilpotent linear part.
