Tolesnis jo puoselëjimas ir plëtra reikalauja kartais subtiliø ir lanksèiø, o kartais ir tvirtø sprendimø . Kita vertus – tai senas tradicijas turintis institutas . Matematikos ir informatikos instituto ákûrimo data laikytina 196 m . spalio 1-oji . Tada reorganizavus Fizikos-technikos institutà buvo ákurti trys institutai . Vienas ið jø – Fizikos ir matematikos institutas (FMI) . Tada FMI turëjo 24 darbuotojus ir dar 10 laisvø etatø . Institutà sudarë trys padaliniai, kurie laikui bëgant iðaugo á savarankiðkus institutus: Matematikos sektorius (vad . Jonas Kubilius), iðaugæs á dabartiná Mate- matikos ir informatikos institutà, Teorinës fizikos sektorius (vad . Adolfas Jucys), iðaugæs á Teorinës fizikos ir astronomijos institutà, ir Puslaidi- ninkiø laboratorija (vad . Povilas Brazdþiûnas), iðaugusi á du institutus – Puslaidininkiø fizikos institutà bei Fizikos institutà . 1967 m . sausio 1 d . nuo FMI atsiskyrë Puslaidininkiø fizikos institutas . Fizikos ir mate- matikos instituto direktoriumi tapo Vytautas Statulevièius . 1977 m . sausio 1 d . FMI suskilo á du: Matematikos ir kibernetikos institutà bei Fizikos institutà . 1990 m . liepos mën . 9 d . pirmasis pervadintas Matema- tikos ir informatikos institutu . Tada jame buvo 424 darbuotojai; ir dabar tai vienas didþiausiø institutø Lietuvoje – kartu su doktorantais yra 246 darbuotojai . Atkûrus nepriklausomà Lietuvà, atsirado didelis poreikis kurtis lietuviðkoms verslo ámonëms . Institutas buvo ðio proceso katalizatorius . Dabar daugelyje informaciniø technologijø firmø dirba buvæ Instituto mokslininkai, ne vienai jø ir vadovauja . Bûtent su ðiomis firmomis palaikomi glaudþiausi Instituto ryðiai, nes tokiose ástaigose ypaè suprantama mokslo 7 vertë ir nauda . Tik pasitelkus mokslo þinias galima kurti naujas technologijas ir sëkmingai konkuruoti . Dabar Matematikos ir informatikos institutas yra valstybës mokslo institutas, kurio misija yra vykdyti Lietuvos ûkiui ir tarptautiniam ben- dradarbiavimui svarbius ilgalaikius tarptautinio lygio mokslinius tyrimus . Pagrindinë Instituto veikla yra moksliniai tyrimai ir eksperimentinë plëtra . Taèiau ne maþiau svarbus uþdavinys yra kartu su aukðtosiomis mokyklomis rengti mokslininkus, padëti joms rengti specialistus bei teikti informatikos ir matematikos mokslinæ bei metodinæ paramà ðvietimo ástaigoms . Instituto mokslinë veikla pagal mokslinæ tematikà sukoncentruota 13-oje moksliniø padaliniø . Juose dirba 140 darbuotojø, ið jø: 37 – ha- bilituoti daktarai ar tenkinantys habilitacijai keliamus reikalavimus (31 – profesorius) ir 47 – daktarai (17 – dr ., docentø) . Doktorantûros studijoms organizuoti Institute ásteigtos Matematikos ir Informatikos katedros . Ðiuo metu doktorantûroje studijuoja 43 doktorantai . Moksliniai tyrimai vykdomi trimis pagrindinëmis kryptimis: 1 . Tikimybiø teorijos ir matematinës statistikos, finansø ir draudos matematikos, diferencialiniø lygèiø ir jø skaitiniø sprendimo metodø bei matematinës logikos ir algoritmø teorijos problemø tyrimai (Fiziniai moks- lai, Matematika) . 2 .

He is well known not only as a profound theologian, a talented musician creating hymns, a literary classicist and an initiator of Lithuanian dialectology, but also as a distinguished figure in the science of mathematics. The author of this article turns his attention to the mathematical legacy of this prominent Lithuanian character and aspires to reveal the circumstances that encouraged bishop Antanas Baranauskas to undertake research in mathematics, to describe the influence of his achievements in the science of mathematics, to show the incentives that encouraged him to pursue mathematical research in Lithuania as well as to emphasize his search for a connection between mathematics and theology. Keywords: number theory, geometry, infinity and theology Streszczenie Biskup Antoni Baranowski (Antanas Baranauskas) należy do prominentnych osobistości w hi- storii kultury litewskiej. Znany jest jako istotny teolog, utalentowany muzyk tworzący hymny, literacki klasyk i inicjator dialektologii Litwy; zajmował się również matematyką. W artykule przedstawiono okoliczności, w związku z którymi biskup A. Baranowski zajął się badaniami matematycznymi. Zarysowane zostało znaczenie jego wyników w rozwoju badań matematycz- nych na Litwie. Podkreślono również związki pomiędzy matematyką i teologią.

Hardcover. 16.5 x 23.5 cm. 69.00 Euro Many partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in physics, such as the nonlinear wave equation and the Schrödinger equation, can be viewed as infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. In the last thirty years, several existence results of time quasi-periodic solutions have been proved adopting a “dynamical systems” point of view. Most of them deal with equations in one space dimension, whereas for multidimensional PDEs a satisfactory picture is still under construction. An updated introduction to the now rich subject of KAM theory for PDEs is provided in the first part of this research monograph. We then focus on the nonlinear wave equation, endowed with periodic boundary conditions. The main result of the monograph proves the bifurcation of small amplitude finite-dimensional invariant tori for this equation, in any space dimension.

  • On the DDT Theorem
    ACTA ARITHMETICA 126.2 (2007) On the DDT theorem by G. Bareikis and E. Manstaviciusˇ (Vilnius) Dedicated to our teacher Professor Jonas Kubilius on his 85th birthday 1. Introduction. We denote the sets of natural, real, complex, and prime numbers by N, R, C, and P respectively. In what follows we assume that p P, d,l,m,n N, and s = σ + iτ C. The letters c and C with or∈ without subscripts∈ denote constants. Either∈ of the notation f = O(g) or f g will mean that f C g for some positive constant C, which may≪ be absolute or depend| | upon ≤ various| | parameters. In such cases we sometimes indicate that by a subscript. Throughout the paper x 3 will be the sequence parameter and in the asymptotic relations it is assumed≥ that x . Let→∞τ(m, v) be the number of natural divisors of m which do not exceed v m, and τ(m) = τ(m,m). In 1979 J.-M. Deshouillers, F. Dress, and G.≤ Tenenbaum [2] (see also [10, Section II.6.2]) obtained the following result. Theorem DDT. Uniformly in u [0, 1], ∈ 1 τ(m,mu) 2 1 (1) = arcsin √u + O . x τ(m) π √log x mX≤x This asymptotic formula was announced already in [3], where some argu- ment relating it to the well known arcsine law in the probabilistic invariance principle was presented. In our opinion, that argument was not very con- vincing. To support that, we observe that the arcsine law in the classical probability theory is in some sense universal while (1) fails to hold if one replaces τ(m) by another multiplicative number-theoretic function whose values on prime numbers differ from two fairly often.

  • Stankus KASUBA
    SOME ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICAL ACTIVITIES IN MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION IN LITHUANIA Eugenijus Stankus [email protected] Romualdas Kašuba [email protected] Vilnius University, Department for Mathematics and Informatics, Naugarduko 24, LT-03225, Lithuania Abstract. The main aim of additional mathematical activities is to ensure for every gifted or interested person his right to have a suitable mathematical education according to his skills and abilities. From another side this deepens and influences the mathematical education in general. In the paper the authors try to show what is being undertaken in Lithuania in order to realize it. There is no doubt about it that the solving of mathematical problems is engaging, useful and creative but not very easy and sometimes even rather difficult task. In solving of non- trivial problem the whole human being with all its psychology and mind powers is involved. The main question and most important task in that direction is how to deal with universal problem of mathematical education: what ought and could be done to make the maximal number of people to feel and strongly believe that this is worth doing, worth undertaking efforts of every kind and is extremely useful for increasing of deepness of mind? There is no doubt that the deepness of mind or ability possibly quick to catch the main features of the situation is one of greatest human treasures. The attempts in that direction are taken since many years in many when not all countries among them also in Lithuania. After all mathematics as a subject suits perhaps most perfectly to make every engaged person to think deeper and to be able understand more than before.

  • Education System in Lithuania Historical Aspect
    International Interdisciplinary Journal of Scientific Research Vol. 1 No. 2 November, 2014 EDUCATION SYSTEM IN LITHUANIA HISTORICAL ASPECT Prof. Dr. Rita Bieliauskienė Institute of Education Sciences and Social Work, Mykolas Romeris University, Ateities g. 20, LT-08303 Vilnius, Lithuania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Purpose – The article presents the author’s historical research that aims to evaluate a history of education in Lithuania. It is very important to assess the trends of education history while preparing new strategies and programs of education, and shaping teams of pedagogues. The need of the research was inspired by ignorance of past trends in community of young lecturers, and especially among students. It is important to evaluate the roles education played in past epochs and during periods of historical breaks. This enables us to achieve the goal: to see a big attention enlightened community has given to analysis, development and a qualitative improvement of educational system. It is important to answer problematic questions: what attention was given to fostering of humanity, intelligence, and emotional life in practice of teachers; what role was played in education of society and consolidation of value priorities of the state of Lithuania in Europe. Design/methodology/approach – analysis of the historical and scientific literature, and archival documents. The research object is historic contexts of education of Lithuania. Findings and originality: the scientific problem formed is based on an interdisciplinary thinking (philosophy, education, analysis and evaluation of historical trends). Research type: review of historical documents, facts, and trends. Keywords: education system, science, culture of Lithuania, history of Lithuanian education Introduction In 1997, the UK Government published its White Paper Excellence in Schools.

    STATISTICS IN TRANSITION, December 2006 1199 STATISTICS IN TRANSITION, December 2006 Vol. 7, No. 6, pp. 1199—1202 FROM THE EDITOR This issue contains twelve articles devoted to small area estimation, methods of estimation and other topics, one book review, three reports, an announcement on a conference and acknowledgements of referees of volume 7. There are following three articles devoted to small area estimation: 1. Attempts at Applying Small Area Estimation Methods in Agricultural Sample Surveys in Poland (by Dorota Bartosińska from Poland). The paper is devoted to the application of small area estimation (SAE) methods in agricultural sample surveys in Poland, using last Census of Agriculture as an auxiliary source of data. The author briefly describes agricultural sample surveys in Poland, and sources of additional data which may be used in SAE methods in agriculture. To obtain more precise estimates of agricultural characteristics from agricultural sample surveys by county (poviat), empirical and hierarchical Bayes estimators, and some auxiliary information from last census of agriculture are used. Two different regression models are considered: area-level regression model and unit-level one. The unit-level approach required matching of particular farms in the agricultural sample surveys to the census of agriculture. The precision of model-based estimates is significantly increased compared to direct estimates. Ecological effect that can cause different results of estimation, depending on regression model type, is also discussed. 2. Estimation of the Mean Squared Error of Model-based Estimators (by Wojciech Rabiega from Poland). The author stresses that model-based methods of small area estimation have received a lot of attention because of making specific allowance for local variation through complex error structures in models that link small areas.
