Algorithms for triangulating polyhedra into a small number of tethraedra1--9
Milica Stojanović

Abstract

Two algorithms for triangulating polyhedra, which give the number of tetrahedra depending linearly on the number of vertices, are discussed. Since the smallest possible number of tetrahedra necessary to triangulate given polyhedra is of interest, for the first--�``Greedy peeling" algorithm, we give a better estimation of the greatest number of tetrahedra (3n20 instead of 3n11), while for the second one--�``cone triangulation", we discuss cases when it is possible to improve it in such a way as to obtain a smaller number of tetrahedra.

Inequality of Poincaré-Friedrich's type on Lp spaces11--14
Milutin R. Dostanić

Abstract

In this paper it is demonstrated that the inequality (G|u|pdx)1/pAp(D|u|pdx)1/p,u|D=0,1p holds, where GDR2, D is a convex domain and constant Ap is expressed in terms of areas of G and~D.

A necessary condition for the existence of periodical solutions of a differential system15--17
Julka Knežević Miljanović

Abstract

The problem of necessary conditions for the existence of periodical solutions of the system X=\f(t)P(X)+Q(t) is considered, where \f(t), Qi(t) (i=1,,n) are continuous functions belonging to certain classes.

On a system of linear thermoelasticity with the Bessel operator19--26
S. Mesloub, S. A. Messaoudi

Abstract

In this paper, we study an initial value problem for a one-dimensional system of thermoelasticity. Using an a priori bound and a density argument, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a generalized solution.

Numerical stability of a class (of systems) of nonlinear equations27--33
Zlatko Udovičić

Abstract

In this article we consider stability of nonlinear equations which have the following form: Ax+F(x)=b, where F is any function, A is a linear operator, b is given and x is an unknown vector. We give (under some assumptions about function F and operator A) a generalization of inequality: (equation (2) estimates the relative error of the solution when the linear equation Ax=b_{1} becomes the equation Ax=b_{2}) and a generalization of inequality: \frac{\|X_{1}-X_{2}\|}{\|X_{1}\|}\leq \|A_{1}^{-1}\|\|A_{1}\|\left(\frac{\|b_{1}-b_{2}\|}{\|b_{1}\|}+ \|A_{1}\|\|A_{2}^{-1}\|\frac{\|b_{2}\|}{\|b_{1}\|}\cdot \frac{\|A_{1}-A_{2}\|}{\|A_{1}\|}\right) \tag3 (equation (3) estimates the relative error of the solution when the linear equation A_1x=b_{1} becomes the equation A_2x=b_{2}).

A mapping theorem on \aleph-spaces35--40
Zhaowen Li

Abstract

In this paper we give a mapping theorems on \aleph-spaces by means of strong compact-covering mappings and \sigma-mappings. As an application, we get characterizations of quotient (pseudo-open) \sigma-images of metric spaces.

The Banach algebra B(X), where X is a BK space and applications41--60
Bruno de Malafosse

Abstract

In this paper we give some properties of Banach algebras of bounded operators B(X), when X is a BK space. We then study the solvability of the equation Ax=b for b\in\{s_{\alpha },s_{\alpha}^{{{}^{\circ}}},s_{\alpha }^{( c)},l_{p}( \alpha)\} with \alpha\in U^{+} and 1\leq p<\infty. We then deal with the equation T_{a}x=b, where b\in\chi(\Delta ^{k}) for k\geq 1 integer, \chi\in\{s_{\alpha },s_{\alpha }^{{{}^{\circ}}},s_{\alpha}^{(c)},l_{p}(\alpha)\}, 1\leq p<\infty and T_{a} is a Toeplitz triangle matrix. Finally we apply the previous results to infinite tridiagonal matrices and explicitly calculate the inverse of an infinite tridiagonal matrix. These results generalize those given in [4,~9].
