scholarly journals On the area of surfaces

The necessary and sufficient condition that a curve should possess a length, this length being given by the usual integral formula, is well known. The curve being defined by the equations x = x ( u ), y = y ( u ), the condition is that x ( u ) and y ( u ) should be expressible as integrals with respect to u . It may seem scarcely credible that no corresponding theorem is known with regard to the area of a surface. Such is, however, the case. And what is more surprising, no one has hitherto succeeded in giving such a definition of the area of a curved surface as permits of a determination of a sufficient condition of a general nature that the surface should possess an area, this area being given by the integral formula known to hold in the simplest cases.

In this paper we extend the definition of the continuous Jacobi transform to a class of generalized functions and obtain a generalized inversion formula for it. As a by-product of our technique we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an analytic functionF(λ)inReλ>0to be the continuous Jacobi transform of a generalized function.

In the last two decades, there has been a great deal of interest in providing an intentional criterion of the psychological. Of the various ones proferred, it seems to me that the best was the earliest, which was Chisholm’s initial criterion in his 1955 essay “Sentences about Believing.” In this present paper I first single out a basic misconception pervading the recent literature on intentionality and suggest that a consequence of this misconception has been the futile attempt to use the notion of intentionality to provide a kind of definition of “mind”; that is, to use intentionality to provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the psychological. Secondly, I point out how intentionality as captured by my own criterion is indispensable in that it is an essential property of certain particulars (persons) which are basic to our conceptual scheme and apparently basic to any conceptual scheme whatsoever.

A necessary and sufficient condition for the associated sequence of functionals to a complete minimal sequence to be a Banach frame has been given. We give the definition of a weak-exact Banach frame, and observe that an exact Banach frame is weak-exact. An example of a weak-exact Banach frame which is not exact has been given. A necessary and sufficient condition for a Banach frame to be a weak-exact Banach frame has been obtained. Finally, a necessary condition for the perturbation of a retro Banach frame by a finite number of linearly independent vectors to be a retro Banach frame has been given.

SynopsisA necessary and sufficient condition is developed for determination of the uniform stability of a class of non-autonomous linear differential-difference equations. This condition is the analogue of the Liapunov criterion for linear ordinary differential equations.

The problem to be considered in this note, in its most concrete form, is the determination of all quartets f1, f2, g1, g2 of functions analytic on some domain and satisfying*where p > 0. When p = 2 the question can be reformulated in terms of finding a necessary and sufficient condition for (two-dimensional) Hilbert space valued analytic functions to have equal pointwise norms, and the answer (Theorem 1) justifies this point of view. If p ≠ 2, the problem is solved by reducing to the case p = 2, and the reformulation in terms of the norm equality of lp valued analytic functions gives no clue to the answer.

This paper deals with the existence of various types of dual generalized inverses of dual matrices. New and foundational results on the necessary and sufficient conditions for various types of dual generalized inverses to exist are obtained. It is shown that unlike real matrices, dual matrices may not have {1}-dual generalized inverses. A necessary and sufficient condition for a dual matrix to have a {1}-dual generalized inverse is obtained. It is shown that a dual matrix always has a {1}-, {1,3}-, {1,4}-, {1,2,3}-, {1,2,4}-dual generalized inverse if and only if it has a {1}-dual generalized inverse and that every dual matrix has a {2}- and a {2,4}-dual generalized inverse. Explicit expressions, which have not been reported to date in the literature, for all these dual inverses are provided. It is shown that the Moore–Penrose dual generalized inverse of a dual matrix exists if and only if the dual matrix has a {1}-dual generalized inverse; an explicit expression for this dual inverse, when it exists, is obtained irrespective of the rank of its real part. Explicit expressions for the Moore–Penrose dual inverse of a dual matrix, in terms of {1}-dual generalized inverses of products, are also obtained. Several new results related to the determination of dual Moore-Penrose inverses using less restrictive dual inverses are also provided.

It is well-known [3; V.13.7] that each irreducible complex character of a finite group G is rational valued if and only if for each integer m coprime to the order of G and each g ∈ G, g is conjugate to gm. In particular, for each positive integer n, the symmetric group on n symbols, S(n), has all its irreducible characters rational valued. The situation for projective characters is quite different. In [5], Morris gives tables of the spin characters of S(n) for n ≤ 13 as well as general information about the values of these characters for any symmetric group. It can be seen from these results that in no case are all the spin characters of S(n) rational valued and, indeed, for n ≥ 6 these characters are not even all real valued. In section 2 of this note, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for each irreducible character of a group G associated with a 2-cocycle α to be rational valued. A corresponding result for real valued projective characters is discussed in section 3. Section 1 contains preliminary definitions and notation, including the definition of projective characters given in [2].

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the parallelism of vectors in homogeneous spaces. The definition of a vector and the condition for spaces under which a covariant differential of a vector is also a vector were given by E. Cartan [4] in a very intuitive way. Here I formulate this in a stricter way by his method of moving frame. Even if a homogeneous space has the property that the covariant differential of a vector is of the same kind, another definition of covariant differential may also have the required property. I will give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the definition of covariant differential is unique. Once the covariant differential has been defined it is easy to introduce a parallelism of vectors in the space. But the parallelism depends in general on the path along which we translate a vector. The condition for the spaces with an absolute parallelism can be obtained.

Multi-period risk functionals assign a risk value to discrete-time stochastic processes. While convexity and monotonicity extend in straightforward manner from the single-period case, the role of information is more problematic in the multi-period situation. In this paper, we define multi-period functionals in such a way that the development of available information over time (expressed as a filtration) enters explicitly the definition of the functional. This allows to define and study the property of information monotonicity, i.e. monotonicity w.r.t. increasing filtrations. On the other hand, time consistency of valuations is a favorable property and it is well-known that this requirement essentially leads to compositions of conditional mappings. We demonstrate that generally spoken the intersection of time consistent and information monotone valuation functionals is rather sparse, although both classes alone are quite rich. In particular, the paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for information monotonicity of additive compositions of positively homogeneous risk/acceptability mappings. Within the class of distortion functionals only compositions of expectation or essential infima are information monotone. Furthermore, we give a sufficient condition and examples for compositions of nonhomogeneous mappings exhibiting information monotonicity.
