In this note, we introduce a new approach to study overlapping domain decomposition methods for optimal control systems governed by partial differential equations. The model considered in our paper is systems governed by wave equations. Our technique could be used for several other equations as well.

Contrary to a statement of Borsuk the author proves that every locally plane Peano continuum is embeddable into a 2-manifold.

Let $M$ be a manifold with all structures smooth which admits a metric $g$. Let $\Gamma$ be a linear connection on $M$ such that the associated covariant derivative $\nabla$ satisfies $\nabla g=g\otimes w$ for some 1-form $w$ on $M$. Then one refers to the above setup as a Weyl structure on $M$ and says that the pair $(g,w)$ fits $\Gamma$. If $\sigma :M\to ℝ$ and if $(g,w)$ fits $\Gamma$, then $(e^{\sigma g},w+d\sigma )$ fits $\Gamma$. Thus if one thinks of this as a map $g\mapsto w$, then $e^{\sigma g}\mapsto w+d\sigma$.In this paper, the author attempts to apply Weyl’s idea above to Finsler spaces. A Finsler fundamental function $L:TM\to ℝ$ satisfies (i) $L\left(u\right)>0$ for...

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]Let ${𝔤}_k$ be the Lie algebra $𝔤l(k,𝒞)$, and let $U_k$ be the universal enveloping algebra for ${𝔤}_k$. Let $Z_k$ be the center of $U_k$. The authors consider the chain of Lie algebras ${𝔤}_n\supset {𝔤}_{n-1}\supset \cdots \supset {𝔤}_1$. Then $Z=\langle Z_k\mid k=1,2,\cdots n\rangle$ is an associative algebra which is called the Gel’fand-Zetlin subalgebra of $U_n$. A ${𝔤}_n$ module $V$ is called a $GZ$-module if $V={\sum }_x\oplus V\left(x\right)$, where the summation is over the space of characters of $Z$ and $V\left(x\right)=\{v\in V\mid {(a-x\left(a\right))}^{m}v=0$, $m\in {𝒵}_{+}$, $a\in 𝒵\}$. The authors describe several properties of $GZ$- modules. For example, they prove that if $V\left(x\right)=0$ for some $x$...

The author previously studied with F. Ilosvay and B. Kis [Publ. Math. 42, 139-144 (1993; Zbl 0796.53022)] the diffeomorphisms between two Finsler spaces $F^n=(M^n,L)$ and ${\overline{F}}^n=(M^n,\overline{L})$ which map the geodesics of $F^n$ to geodesics of ${\overline{F}}^n$ (geodesic mappings).Now, he investigates the geodesic mappings between a Finsler space $F^n$ and a Riemannian space ${\overline{ℝ}}^n$. The main result of this paper is as follows: if $F^n$ is of constant curvature $K$ and the mapping $F^n\to {\overline{ℝ}}^n$ is a strongly geodesic mapping then $K=0$ or $K\ne 0$ and $\overline{L}=e^{\varphi \left(x\right)}L$.

The main result of this paper determines a system of linear partial differential equations of Cauchy type whose solutions correspond exactly to holomorphically projective mappings of a given equiaffine space onto a Kählerian space. The special case of constant holomorphic curvature is also studied.
