Let n points be distributed independently within a k-dimensional unit cube according to density f. At each point, construct a k-dimensional sphere of content an. Let V denote the vacancy, or ‘volume' not covered by the spheres. We derive asymptotic formulae for the mean and variance of V, as n → ∞and an → 0. The formulae separate naturally into three cases, corresponding to nan → 0, nan → a (0 < a <∞) and nan →∞, respectively. We apply the formulae to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for V/E(V) → 1 in L2.

1. In a recent paper I established new conditions for a form φ of order n, homogeneous in r + 1 variables, to be expressible as the sum of nth powers of linear forms in these variables; and for this expression, if it exists, to be unique. These conditions, I further showed, may be stated as general theorems regarding the secant spaces of manifolds Mr in higher space, namely:Necessary and sufficient conditions that through a general point of a space N, of h (r + 1) − 1 dimensions, there passes (i) no, (ii) a unique (h − 1)-dimensional space containing h points of a manifold Mr lying in N are that(i) the space projecting a general point of Mr from the join of h − 1 general r-dimensional tangent spaces of Mr meets Mr in a curve, so that Mr cannot be so projected upon a linear space of r dimensions;(ii) the space projecting a general point of Mr from the join of h − 1 general r-dimensional tangent spaces of Mr does not meet Mr again, so that Mr can be so projected, birationally, upon a linear space of r dimensions..

A circle forming problem for a group of mobile agents governed by first-order system is investigated, where each agent can only sense the relative angular positions of its neighboring two agents with time delay and move on the one-dimensional space of a given circle. To solve this problem, a novel decentralized sampled-data control law is proposed. By combining algebraic graph theory with control theory, some necessary and sufficient conditions are established to guarantee that all the mobile agents form a pregiven circle formation asymptotically. Moreover, the ranges of the sampling period and the coupling delay are determined, respectively. Finally, the theoretical results are demonstrated by numerical simulations.

In the architecture of cellular neural networks (CNN), connections among cells are built on linear coupling laws. These laws are characterized by the so-called templates which express the local interaction weights among cells. Recently, the complete stability for CNN has been extended from symmetric connections to cycle-symmetric connections. In this presentation, we investigate a class of two-dimensional space-invariant templates. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the class of templates to have cycle-symmetric connections. Complete stability for CNN with several interesting templates is thus concluded.

AbstractThe mean value inequality is characteristic for upper semi-continuous functions to be subharmonic. Quasinearly subharmonic functions generalise subharmonic functions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which subsets of balls are big enough for the characterisation of non-negative, quasinearly subharmonic functions by mean value inequalities. Similar result is obtained also for generalised mean value inequalities where, instead of balls, we consider arbitrary bounded sets, which have non-void interiors and instead of the volume of ball some functions depending on the radius of this ball.

We give relations between the Gauss map and the mean curvature vector field of a surface in the Euclidean unit n-sphere Sn. These relations are necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a surface in Sn with prescribed Gauss map and mean curvature vector field. We show that such surfaces can be expressed explicitly by using given data.
