We adopt refined versions of the integro-extremality method, extending analogous results already obtained for functionals with first order lagrangians. In addition we show that our hypotheses are nearly optimal, providing in such a way an almost necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of this class of variational problems.</p>

We investigate the stability of travelling wave solutions of the one-dimensional under-cooled Stefan problem. We find a necessary and sufficient condition on the initial datum under which the free boundary is asymptotic to a travelling wave front. The method applies also to other types of solutions.

AbstractWe consider one-dimensional parabolic free boundary value problem with a nonlocal (integro-differential) condition on the free boundary. Results on Cm-smoothness of the free boundary are obtained. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition for infinite differentiability of the free boundary is given.

Abstract We study the existence of cocompact lattices in Lie groups with bi-invariant metric of signature $(2,n-2)$. We assume in addition that the Lie groups under consideration are simply-connected, indecomposable, and solvable. Then their centre is one- or two-dimensional. In both cases, a parametrisation of the set of such Lie groups is known. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a lattice in terms of these parameters. For groups with one-dimensional centre this problem is related to Salem numbers.

Van der Corput has shown (2), using a general criterion of Weyl (1), that a necessary and sufficient condition, that a sequence of points Pn = (αn, βn) (n = 1, 2,…) in two-dimensional space be uniformly distributed modulo 1, is that for all pairs of integers (u, v) other than u = v = 0 the one-dimensional sequence (uαn + vβn) (n = 1, 2,…) is uniformly distributed modulo 1. The object of this paper is to give a quantitative form to the sufficiency part of this qualitative criterion.

We prove a martingale-coboundary representation for random fields with a completely commuting filtration. For random variables in [Formula: see text], we present a necessary and sufficient condition which is a generalization of Heyde’s condition for one-dimensional processes from 1975. For [Formula: see text] spaces with [Formula: see text] we give a necessary and sufficient condition which extends Volný’s result from 1993 to random fields and improves condition of El Machkouri and Giraudo from 2016. A new sufficient condition is presented which for dimension one improves Gordin’s condition from 1969. In application, new weak invariance principle and estimates of large deviations are found.

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.
