In [A2] V.I. Arnold introduced three basic invariants St, J+ and J- of plane curves and proposed some interesting conjectures concerning the extremal value of these invariants on a given set of curves. Partial answers have been obtained by O. Viro and A. N. Shumakovich. We give explicit formulas for these extremal values of sets of plane curves with fixed number of double points and of Whitney index and we determine on which curves these extremal values are attained (Theorems 3-6). Our arguments are based on understanding of the fine structures of generic curves and some surgery operations on curves.

The theorem itself may be considered obvious, and is easily applied, as I showed at the late meeting of the British Association, to prove that in passing from any one double point of a plane closed curve continuously along the curve to the same point again, an even number of intersections must be passed through. Hence, if we suppose the curve to be constructed of cord or wire, and restrict the crossings to double points, we may arrange them throughout so that, in following the wire continuously, it goes alternately over and under each branch it meets. When this is done it is obviously as completely knotted as its scheme (defined below) will admit of, and except in a special class of cases cannot have the number of crossings reduced by any possible deformation.

We consider a problem of realizability of Gauss diagrams by closed plane curves where the plane curves have only double points of transversal self-intersection. We formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions for realizability. These conditions are based only on the parity of double and triple intersections of the chords in the Gauss diagram.

Given an irreducible surface germ (X, 0) ⊂ (ℂ3, 0) with a one-dimensional singular set Σ, we denote by δ1 (X, 0) the delta invariant of a transverse slice. We show that δ1 (X, 0) ≥ m0 (Σ, 0), with equality if and only if (X, 0) admits a corank 1 parametrization f :(ℂ2, 0) → (ℂ3, 0) whose only singularities outside the origin are transverse double points and semi-cubic cuspidal edges. We then use the local Euler obstruction Eu(X, 0) in order to characterize those surfaces that have finite codimension with respect to -equivalence or as a frontal-type singularity.

Abstract In this article the problem of determination of coefficients a1, a2, . . . , an of the characteristic equation which yield required extremal values of the solution x(t) at extremal values τ of time is solved. The extremal values of x(t) and τ are treated as functions of the roots s1, s2, . . . , sn. The analytical formulae enable to design the systems with prescribed dynamic properties. The zeros and poles can be located using the known method. The extremal dynamic error x(t) is the most important property of the behaviour of the system. This extremal value of the dynamic error has fundamental role in the chemical industry where for example overrising temperature or pressure can lead to an explosion. A second very important property is the extremal time τ connected with the extremal value of the error. This property is essential in the electroenergetic system, which can be destroyed by the overvoltages waves.

International audience We generalize the recent work of Fomin and Mikhalkin on polynomial formulas for Severi degrees. The degree of the Severi variety of plane curves of degree d and δ nodes is given by a polynomial in d, provided δ is fixed and d is large enough. We extend this result to generalized Severi varieties parametrizing plane curves which, in addition, satisfy tangency conditions of given orders with respect to a given line. We show that the degrees of these varieties, appropriately rescaled, are given by a combinatorially defined ``relative node polynomial'' in the tangency orders, provided the latter are large enough. We describe a method to compute these polynomials for arbitrary δ , and use it to present explicit formulas for δ ≤ 6. We also give a threshold for polynomiality, and compute the first few leading terms for any δ . Nous généralisons les travaux récents de Fomin et Mikhalkin sur des formules polynomiales pour les degrés de Severi. Le degré de la variété de Severi des courbes planes de degré d et à δ nœuds est donné par un polynôme en d , pour δ fixé et d assez grand. Nous étendons ce résultat aux variétés de Severi généralisées paramétrant les courbes planes et qui, en outre, satisfont à des conditions de tangence d'ordres donnés avec une droite fixée. Nous montrons que les degrés de ces variétés, rééchelonnés de manière appropriée, sont donnés par un ``polynôme de noeud relatif'', défini combinatoirement, en les ordres de tangence, dès que ceux-ci sont assez grands. Nous décrivons une méthode pour calculer ces polynômes pour delta arbitraire, et l'utilisons pour présenter des formules explicites pour δ ≤ 6 . Nous donnons aussi un seuil pour la polynomialité, et calculons les premiers termes dominants pour tout δ .

Abstract In this article the problem of determination of such coefficients a1, a2, ..., an and eigenvalues s1, s2, ..., sn of the characteristic equation which yield required extremal values of the solution x(t) at the extremal value τ of time is solved. The extremal values of x(τ ) and τ are treated as functions of the roots s1, s2, ..., sn. The analytical formulae enable us to design the systems with prescribed dynamic properties. For solution of the problem the properties of symmetrical equations are used. The method is illustrated by an example of the equation of 4-th degree. The regions of the different kinds of the roots: real, with one pair of complex and two pairs of complex roots are illustrated. A practical problem is shown.

An epithelial cell line, NPC/HK1, has recently been established from a biopsy specimen of a recurrent tumour of the nasopharynx which was histologically diagnosed as a moderately to well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A definite decrease in the amount of tonofilaments and desmosomes in the NPC/HK1 cells during the cell line establishment was observed. The present communication reports on the fine structures of the NPC/HK1 cells heterotraneplanted in athymic nude mice.
