If F(x0, x1, x2, x3) = 0 is the equation of a surface in space of three dimensions which has an ordinary isolated s-ple point O, then by means of the substitutionswhere Φ0 = 0, Φ1 = 0, …, Φr = 0 are the equations of r + 1 linearly independent surfaces passing simply through O, F is transformed into a surface F′ in [r], on which to the point O of F there corresponds a simple curve γ. The points of γ arise from the points of F in the first neighbourhood of O, and in this simple case the genus of γ is ½ (s − 1) (s − 2). In the study of properties which are common to all members of an infinite family of birationally equivalent surfaces no distinction is made between O and γ, O being regarded as a curve which has become infinitesimal on the particular surface of the family in question.

In this paper, we study the dynamics of the family of rational maps with two parameters $$\begin{eqnarray}f_{a,b}(z)=z^{n}+\frac{a^{2}}{z^{n}-b}+\frac{a^{2}}{b},\end{eqnarray}$$ where $n\geq 2$ and $a,b\in \mathbb{C}^{\ast }$. We give a characterization of the topological properties of the Julia set and the Fatou set of $f_{a,b}$ according to the dynamical behavior of the orbits of the free critical points.

The Relationship

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between family succession, professionalization and internationalization in family businesses within the Brazilian context.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a multiple-case study method with three Brazilian family businesses that have at least two generations of the owning family involved in the business and an international presence of at least three years. In-depth interviews and secondary data were undertaken with family and non-family members of each case.FindingsThe authors' results show that a family business can boost its internationalization by introducing both succession planning and professionalization on international activities. As family members tend to be more risk-averse and focused on keeping the family business within the family, professionalization is a way of improving the firm's ability to expand internationally. This process tends to lead to lower performance by the firm for the first few months or the first year after the investment, but afterward, international performance tends to grow exponentially.Originality/valueOnly a few studies have been concerned on the relationship of these three dimensions. Thus, the research takes into account that professionalization and succession lead family businesses to improve their internationalization strategies.

The Family

A one-parameter family of differential systems that bridges the gap between the Lorenz and the Chen systems was proposed by Lu, Chen, Cheng and Celikovsy. The goal of this paper is to analyze what we can say using analytic tools about the dynamics of this one-parameter family of differential systems. We shall describe its global dynamics at infinity, and for two special values of the parameter a we can also describe the global dynamics in the whole ℝ3using the invariant algebraic surfaces of the family. Additionally we characterize the Hopf bifurcations of this family.

The Family

This chapter discusses Slothouber–Graatsma–Conway puzzle, which asks one to assemble six 1 × 2 × 2 pieces and three 1 × 1 × 1 pieces into the shape of a 3 × 3 × 3 cube. The puzzle has been generalized to larger cubes, and there is an infinite family of such puzzles. The chapter's primary argument is that, for any odd positive integer n = 2k + 1, there is exactly one way, up to symmetry, to make an n × n × n cube out of n tiny 1 × 1 × 1 cubes and six of each of a set of rectangular blocks. The chapter describes a way to solve each puzzle in the family and explains why there are no other solutions. It then presents several related open problems.

The main object of this paper is to prove the following:Theorem. Let f1, … ,fk be linearly independent continuous functions on a compact space. Then for 1 ≤ s ≤ k there exist real numbers aij, 1 ≤ i ≤ s, 1 ≤ j ≤ k, with {aij, 1 ≤ i, j ≤ s} n-singular, and a discrete probability measure ε*on, such that(a) the functions gi = Σj=1kaijfj 1 ≤ i ≤ s, are orthonormal (ε*) to the fj for s < j ≤ k;(b)The result in the case s = k was first proved in (2). The result when s < k, which because of the orthogonality condition of (a) is more general than that when s = k, was proved in (1) under a restriction which will be discussed in § 3. The present proof does not require this ad hoc restriction, and is more direct in approach than the method of (2) (although involving as much technical detail as the latter in the case when the latter applies).

SynopsisThe fourth-order equation considered isConditions are given on the coefficients r, p and q which ensure that this differential equation (*) is in the strong limit-2 case at ∞, i.e. is limit-2 at ∞. This implies that (*) has exactly two linearly independent solutions which are in the integrable-square space ℒ2(0, ∞) for all complex numbers λ with im [λ] ≠ 0. Additionally the conditions imply that self-adjoint operators generated by M[·] in ℒ2(0, ∞) are semi-bounded below. The results obtained are applied to the case when the coefficients r, p and q are powers of x ∈ [0, ∞).

AbstractLet ℙ denote the weighted projective space with weights (1, 1, 1, 3) over the rationals, with coordinates x, y, z and w; let $\mathcal{X}$ be the generic element of the family of surfaces in ℙ given by \begin{equation*} X\colon w^2=x^6+y^6+z^6+tx^2y^2z^2. \end{equation*} The surface $\mathcal{X}$ is a K3 surface over the function field ℚ(t). In this paper, we explicitly compute the geometric Picard lattice of $\mathcal{X}$, together with its Galois module structure, as well as derive more results on the arithmetic of $\mathcal{X}$ and other elements of the family X.
