We study the existence of L2 holomorphic sections of invariant line bundles over Galois coverings. We show that the von Neumann dimension of the space of L2 holomorphic sections is bounded below under weak curvature conditions. We also give criteria for a compact complex space with isolated singularities and some related strongly pseudoconcave manifolds to be Moishezon. As applications we prove the stability of the previous Moishezon pseudoconcave manifolds under perturbation of complex structures as well as weak Lefschetz theorems.

We study the harmonic space of line bundle valued forms over a covering manifold with a discrete group action, and obtain an asymptotic estimate for the von Neumann dimension of the space of harmonic [Formula: see text]-forms with values in high tensor powers of a semipositive line bundle. In particular, we estimate the von Neumann dimension of the corresponding reduced [Formula: see text]-Dolbeault cohomology group. The main tool is a local estimate of the pointwise norm of harmonic forms with values in semipositive line bundles over Hermitian manifolds.

This chapter is concerned with closable and closed operators in Hilbert spaces, especially with the special classes of symmetric, J-symmetric, accretive and sectorial operators. The Stone–von Neumann theory of extensions of symmetric operators is treated as a special case of results for compatible adjoint pairs of closed operators. Also discussed in detail is the stability of closedness and self-adjointness under perturbations. The abstract results are applied to operators defined by second-order differential expressions, and Sims’ generalization of the Weyl limit-point, limit-circle characterization for symmetric expressions to J-symmetric expressions is proved.

This study acquires the exact and numerical approximations of a reaction-convection-diffusion equation arising in mathematical bi- ology namely; Murry equation through its analytical solutions obtained by using a mathematical approach; the modified exp(-Ψ(η))-expansion function method. We successfully obtained the kink-type and singular soliton solutions with the hyperbolic function structure to this equa- tion. We performed the numerical simulations (3D and 2D) of the obtained analytical solutions under suitable values of parameters. We obtained the approximate numerical and exact solutions to this equa- tion by utilizing the finite forward difference scheme by taking one of the obtained analytical solutions into consideration. We investigate the stability of the finite forward difference method with the equation through the Fourier-Von Neumann analysis. We present the L2 and L∞ error norms of the approximations. The numerical and exact approx- imations are compared and the comparison is supported by a graphic plot. All the computations and the graphics plots in this study are car- ried out with help of the Matlab and Wolfram Mathematica softwares. Finally, we submit a comprehensive conclusion to this study.

Abstract In this study, the numerical solutions of the modified Fornberg–Whitham (mFW) equation, which describes immigration of the solitary wave and peakon waves with discontinuous first derivative at the peak, have been obtained by the collocation finite element method using quintic trigonometric B-spline bases. Although there are solutions of this equation by semi-analytical and analytical methods in the literature, there are very few studies on the solution of the equation by numerical methods. Any linearization technique has not been used while applying the method. The stability analysis of the applied method is examined by the von-Neumann Fourier series method. To show the performance of the method, we have considered three test problems with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions having analytical solutions. The error norms L 2 and L ∞ are calculated to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the presented numerical scheme.

The traveling wave solutions of the combined Korteweg de Vries-modified Korteweg de Vries (cKdV-mKdV) equation and a complexly coupled KdV (CcKdV) equation are obtained by using the auto-Bäcklund Transformation Method (aBTM). To numerically approximate the exact solutions, the Finite Difference Method (FDM) is used. In addition, these exact traveling wave solutions and numerical solutions are compared by illustrating the tables and figures. Via the Fourier–von Neumann stability analysis, the stability of the FDM with the cKdV–mKdV equation is analyzed. The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] norm errors are given for the numerical solutions. The 2D and 3D figures of the obtained solutions to these equations are plotted.

AbstractApplying a well-known argument of Karl Menger to an insurance version of the St. Petersburg Paradox (in which the decision maker is confronted with losses, rather than gains), one can assert that von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions are necessarily concave upward and bounded below as decision-maker wealth tends to negative infinity. However, this argument is subject to two potential criticisms: (1) infinite-mean losses do not exist in the real world; and (2) the St. Petersburg Paradox derives its force from empirical observation (i. e., that actual decision makers would not agree to an arbitrarily large insurance bid price to transfer an infinite-mean loss), and thus does not impart logical necessity. In the present article, these two criticisms are addressed in turn. We first show that, although infinite-mean insurance losses technically do not exist, they do provide a reasonable model for certain large (i. e., excess and reinsurance) property-liability indemnities. We then employ the Two-Envelope Paradox to demonstrate the logical necessity of concave-upward, lower-bounded utility for arbitrarily small (i. e., negative) values of wealth. Finally, we note that recognizing the bounded, sigmoid nature of utility functions challenges certain fundamental understandings in the economics of insurance demand, and can lead to vastly different conclusions regarding the bid price for insurance.

In this paper we apply the theory of quasi-free states of CAR algebras and Bogolubov automorphisms to give an alternative C*-algebraic construction of the Determinant and Pfaffian line bundles discussed by Pressley and Segal and by Borthwick. The basic property of the Pfaffian of being the holomorphic square root of the Determinant line bundle (after restriction from the Hilbert space Grassmannian to the Siegel manifold, or isotropic Grassmannian, consisting of all complex structures on an associated Hilbert space) is derived from a Fock–anti-Fock correspondence and an application of the Powers–Størmer purification procedure. A Borel–Weil type description of the infinite dimensional Spin c- representation is obtained, via a Shale–Stinespring implementation of Bogolubov transformations.
