AbstractLet Y be a smooth del Pezzo surface of degree 3 polarized by a very ample divisor that is not proportional to the anticanonical one. Then the affine cone over Y is flexible in codimension one. Equivalently, such a cone has an open subset with an infinitely transitive action of the special automorphism group on it.

SynopsisThe cubic surfaces in, save for the elliptic cone, are, whatever their singularities, projections of del Pezzo's non-singular surface F, of order 9 in. It is explained how, merely by specifying the geometrical relation of the vertex of projection to F, each cubic surface is obtainable “at a stroke”, without using spaces of intermediate dimensions.

The present Memoir is based upon, and is in a measure supplementary to that by Pro­fessor Schläfli, “On the Distribution of Surfaces of the Third Order into Species, in reference to the presence or absence of Singular Points, and the reality of their Lines,” Phil. Trans, vol. cliii. (1863) pp. 193—241. But the object of the Memoir is different. I disregard altogether the ultimate division depending on the reality of the lines, attend­ing only to the division into (twenty-two, or as I prefer to reckon it) twenty-three cases depending on the nature of the singularities. And I attend to the question very much on account of the light to be obtained in reference to the theory of Reciprocal Surfaces. The memoir referred to furnishes in fact a store of materials for this purpose, inasmuch as it gives (partially or completely developed) the equations in plane-coordinates of the several cases of cubic surfaces, or, what is the same thing, the equations in point-coor­dinates of the several surfaces (orders 12 to 3) reciprocal to these repectively. I found by examination of the several cases, that an extension was required of Dr. Salmon’s theory of Reciprocal Surfaces in order to make it applicable to the present subject ; and the preceding “Memoir on the Theory of Reciprocal Surfaces” was written in connexion with these investigations on Cubic Surfaces. The latter part of the Memoir is divided into sections headed thus:— “Section I = 12, equation (X, Y, Z, W ) 3 = 0” &c. referring to the several cases of the cubic surface; but the paragraphs are numbered continuously through the Memoir. The twenty-three Cases of Cubic Surfaces—Explanations and Table of Singularities . Article Nos. 1 to 13. 1. I designate as follows the twenty-three cases of cubic surfaces, adding to each of them its equation:

The sensor location problem (SLP) discussed in this paper is to find the minimum number and optimum locations of the flow counting points in the road network so that the traffic flows over the whole network can be inferred uniquely. Flow conservation system at intersections is formulated firstly using the turning ratios as the prior information. Then the coefficient matrix of the flow conservation system is proved to be nonsingular. Based on that, the minimal number of counting points is determined to be the total number of exclusive incoming roads and dummy roads, which are added to the network to represent the trips generated on real roads. So the task of SLP model based on turning ratios is just to determine the optimal sensor locations. The following analysis in this paper shows that placing sensors on all the exclusive incoming roads and dummy roads can always generate a unique network flow vector for any network topology. After that, a detection set composed of only real roads is proven to exist from the view of feasibility in reality. Finally, considering the roads importance and cost of the sensors, a weighted SLP model is formulated to find the optimal detection set. The greedy algorithm is proven to be able to provide the optimal solution for the proposed weighted SLP model.
