Bifurcation theory applied to the analysis of power systems.
Gustavo Revel, Diego M. Alonso, and Jorge L. Moiola
PDF
In this paper, several nonlinear phenomena found in the study
of power system networks are described in the context of bifurcation theory.
Toward this end, a widely studied 3-bus power system model is considered.
The mechanisms leading to static and dynamic bifurcations of equilibria as
well as a cascade of period doubling bifurcations of periodic orbits are
investigated. It is shown that the cascade verifies the Feigenbaum's universal
theory. Finally, a two parameter bifurcation analysis reveals the presence of
a Bogdanov-Takens codimension-two bifurcation acting as an organizing
center for the dynamics. In addition, evidence on the existence of a complex
global phenomena involving homoclinic orbits and a period doubling cascade
is included.

Finite element approximation of the vibration problem
for a Timoshenko curved rod.
E. Hernández, E. Otárola, R. Rodríguez, and F. Sanhueza
PDF
The aim of this paper is to analyze a mixed finite element method
for computing the vibration modes of a Timoshenko curved rod with arbitrary
geometry. Optimal order error estimates are proved for displacements and
rotations of the vibration modes, as well as a double order of convergence for
the vibration frequencies. These estimates are essentially independent of the
thickness of the rod, which leads to the conclusion that the method is locking
free. A numerical test is reported in order to assess the performance of the
method.

Iterated Aluthge transforms: a brief survey.
Jorge Antezana, Enrique R. Pujals, and Demetrio Stojanoff
PDF
Given an r × r complex matrix T,
if T = U|T| is the polar
decomposition of T, then the Aluthge transform is defined by
Δ(T) = |T|1/2 U |T|1/2.
Let Δn(T) denote the n-times iterated
Aluthge transform of T,
i.e. Δ0(T) = T
and Δn(T) =
Δ(Δn−1(T)), n ∈ N.
In this paper we make a brief survey on
the known properties and applications of the Aluthge trasnsorm, particularly
the recent proof of the fact that the sequence
{Δn(T)}n∈N
converges for every r × r matrix T.
This result was conjectured by Jung, Ko and Pearcy in 2003.

Poisson-Lie T-duality and integrable systems.
H. Montani
PDF
We describe a hamiltonian approach to Poisson-Lie T-duality
based on the geometry of the underlying phases spaces of the dual sigma
and WZW models. Duality is fully characterized by the existence of a
hamiltonian action of a Drinfeld double Lie group on the cotangent bundle of its
factors and the associated equivariant momentum maps. The duality
transformations are explicitly constructed in terms of these actions. It is shown
that compatible integrable dynamics arise in a general collective form.

The duality between algebraic posets and bialgebraic
frames: a lattice theoretic perspective.
James B. Hart and Constantine Tsinakis
PDF
This paper sets two goals. The first is to present algebraists with a
purely order-theoretic derivation of the adjunction between the category
DCPO
of DCPOs (directed complete posets) and the category
Frm of frames. This
adjunction restricts to several Stone-type dualities which are well-known and
of considerable interest to computer scientists. The second goal is to describe
the object classes of these subdualities in terms familiar to algebraists, thereby
making a large body of literature about them more accessible.

On the notion of bandlimitedness and its generalizations.
Ahmed I. Zayed
PDF
In this survey article we introduce the Paley-Wiener space of
bandlimited functions PWω, and review some of its
generalizations. Some of these generalizations are new and will be
presented without proof because the proofs will be published somewhere else.
Guided by the role that the differentiation operator plays in some of the
characterizations of the Paley-Wiener space, we construct a subspace of
vectors PWω(D) in a Hilbert space H using a self-adjoint
operator D. We then show that the space PWω(D) has similar
properties to those of the space PWω.
The paper is concluded with an application to show how to apply the
abstract results to integral transforms associated with singular Sturm-Liouville
problems.

Saturated neighbourhood models of monotonic modal logics.
Sergio Arturo Celani
PDF
In this paper we shall introduce the notions of point-closed, point-
compact, and m-saturated monotonic neighbourhood models. We will give
some characterizations, and we will prove that the ultrafilter extension and
the valuation extension of a model are m-saturated.

The n-homology of representations.
Tim Bratten
PDF
The n-homology groups of a g-module provide a natural and
fruitful extension of the concept of highest weight to the representation theory of
a noncompact reductive Lie group. In this article we give an introduction to
the n-homology groups and a survey of some developments, with a
particular emphasis on results pertaining to the problem of caculating n-homology
groups.

Matrix spherical functions and orthogonal polynomials:
an instructive example.
I. Pacharoni
PDF
In the scalar case, it is well known that the zonal spherical functions
of any compact Riemannian symmetric space of rank one can be expressed
in terms of the Jacobi polynomials. The main purpose of this paper
is to revisit the matrix valued spherical functions associated to the complex
projective plane to exhibit the interplay among these functions, the matrix
hypergeometric functions and the matrix orthogonal polynomials. We also
obtain very explicit expressions for the entries of the spherical functions in
the case of 2 × 2 matrices and exhibit a natural sequence of matrix orthogonal
polynomials, beyond the group parameters.

Minimal Hermitian matrices with fixed entries
outside the diagonal.
E. Andruchow, L. E. Mata-Lorenzo, A. Mendoza,
L. Recht, and A. Varela
PDF
We survey some results concerning the problem of finding the
complex hermitian matrix or matrices of least supremum norm with variable
diagonal. Some qualitative general results are given and more specific descriptions
are shown for the 3 × 3 case. We also comment some results and
examples concerning this approximation problem.

Weighted inequalities for generalized fractional operators.
María Silvina Riveros
PDF
In this note we present weighted Coifman type estimates, and two-weight
estimates of strong and weak type for general fractional operators. We
give applications to fractional operators given by an homogeneous function,
and by a Fourier multiplier. The complete proofs of these results appear in
the work [5] done jointly with Ana L. Bernardis and María Lorente.

A model for the thermoelastic behavior of a
joint-leg-beam system for space applications.
E. M. Cliff, Z. Liu, and R. D. Spies
PDF
Rigidizable-Inflatable (RI) materials offer the possibility of deployable
large space structures (C.H.M. Jenkins (ed.), Gossamer Spacecraft:
Membrane and Inflatable Structures Technology for Space Applications, Progress
in Aeronautics and Astronautics, 191, AIAA Pubs., 2001) and so are
of interest in applications where large optical or RF apertures are needed.
In particular, in recent years there has been renewed interest in inflatablerigidizable
truss-structures because of the efficiency they offer in packaging
during boost-to-orbit. However, much research is still needed to better understand
dynamic response characteristics, including inherent damping, of truss
structures fabricated with these advanced material systems. One of the most
important characteristics of such space systems is their response to changing
thermal loads, as they move in and out of the Earth's shadow. We study a
model for the thermoelastic behavior of a basic truss componentconsisting of
two RI beams connected through a joint subject to solar heating. Axial and
transverse motions as well as thermal response of the beams with thermoelastic
damping are taking into account. The model results in a couple PDE-ODE
system. Well-posedness and stability results are shown and analyzed.

Best local approximations by abstract norms with
non-homogeneous dilations.
Norma Yanzón and Felipe Zó
PDF
We introduce a concept of best local approximation using abstract
norms and non-homogeneous dilations. The asymptotic behavior of the
normalized error function as well as the limit of some net of best approximation
polynomials Pε as ε → 0 are studied.

We highlight the role of primary decomposition of binomial ideals
in a commutative polynomial ring, in the description of the holonomicity, the
holonomic rank, and the shape of solutions of multivariate hypergeometric differential
systems of partial differential equations.

A survey on hyper-Kähler with torsion geometry.
M. L. Barberis
PDF
Manifolds with special geometric structures play a prominent role
in some branches of theoretical physics, such as string theory and supergravity.
For instance, it is well known that supersymmetry requires target spaces to
have certain special geometric properties. In many cases these requirements
can be interpreted as restrictions on the holonomy group of the target space
Riemannian metric. However, in some cases, they cannot be expressed in
terms of the Riemannian holonomy group alone and give rise to new geometries
previously unknown to mathematicians. An example of this situation is
provided by hyper-Kähler with torsion (or HKT) metrics, a particular class of
metrics which possess a compatible connection with torsion whose holonomy
lies in Sp(n).
A survey on recent results on HKT geometry is presented.
