Notices of the American Mathematical Calendar This Calendar lists all of the meetings which have been approved by the Council up to the date this issue of the cNoliaiJ was sent to press. The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change; this is particularly true of meetings to which no numbers have yet been assigned. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in most departments of mathematics; forms can also be obtained by writing to the headquarters of the Society. Abstracts to be presented at the meeting in person must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence, Rhode Island, on or before the deadline for the meeting.

  • Generic Global Rigidity in Complex and Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces 3
    GENERIC GLOBAL RIGIDITY IN COMPLEX AND PSEUDO-EUCLIDEAN SPACES STEVEN J. GORTLER AND DYLAN P. THURSTON Abstract. In this paper we study the property of generic global rigidity for frameworks of graphs embedded in d-dimensional complex space and in a d-dimensional pseudo- Euclidean space (Rd with a metric of indefinite signature). We show that a graph is generically globally rigid in Euclidean space iff it is generically globally rigid in a complex or pseudo-Euclidean space. We also establish that global rigidity is always a generic property of a graph in complex space, and give a sufficient condition for it to be a generic property in a pseudo-Euclidean space. Extensions to hyperbolic space are also discussed. 1. Introduction The property of generic global rigidity of a graph in d-dimensional Euclidean space has recently been fully characterized [4, 7]. It is quite natural to study this property in other spaces as well. For example, recent work of Owen and Jackson [8] has studied the number of equivalent realizations of frameworks in C2. In this paper we study the property of generic global rigidity of graphs embedded in Cd as well as graphs embedded in a pseudo Euclidean space (Rd equipped with an indefinite metric signature). We show that a graph Γ is generically globally rigid (GGR) in d-dimensional Euclidean space iff Γ is GGR in d-dimensional complex space. Moreover, for any metric signature, s, We show that a graph Γ is GGR in d-dimensional Euclidean space iff Γ is GGR in d- dimensional real space under the signature s.

  • Newsletter No. 31 March 2004
    Newsletter No. 31 March 2004 Welcome to the second newsletter of 2004. We have lots of goodies for you this month so let's get under way. Maths is commonly said to be useful. The variety of its uses is wide but how many times as teachers have we heard students exclaim, "What use will this be when I leave school?" I guess it's all a matter of perspective. A teacher might say mathematics is useful because it provides him/her with a livelihood. A scientist would probably say it's the language of science and an engineer might use it for calculations necessary to build bridges. What about the rest of us? A number of surveys have shown that the majority of us only need to handle whole numbers in counting, simple addition and subtraction and decimals as they relate to money and domestic measurement. We are adept in avoiding arithmetic - calculators in their various forms can handle that. We prefer to accept so-called ball-park figures rather than make useful estimates in day-to-day dealings and computer software combined with trial-and-error takes care of any design skills we might need. At the same time we know that in our technological world numeracy and computer literacy are vital. Research mathematicians can push boundaries into the esoteric, some of it will be found useful, but we can't leave mathematical expertise to a smaller and smaller proportion of the population, no matter how much our students complain. Approaching mathematics through problem solving - real and abstract - is the philosophy of the nzmaths website.

  • Lids-R-904 Robust Stability of Linear Systems
    LIDS-R-904 ROBUST STABILITY OF LINEAR SYSTEMS - SOME COMPUTATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS* by Alan J. Laub** 1. INTRODUCTION In this paper we shall concentrate on some of the computational issues which arise in studying the robust stability of linear systems. Insofar as possible, we shall use notation consistent with Stein's paper [11 and we shall make frequent reference to that work. As we saw in [1] a basic stability question for a linear time-invariant system with transfer matrix G(s) is the following: given that a nominal closed-loop feedbadk system is stable, does the feedback system remain stable when subjected to perturbations and how large can those perturba- tions be? It turned out, through invocation of the Nyquist Criterion, that the size of the allowable perturbations was related to the "nearness to singularity" of the return difference matrix I + G(jW). Closed-loop stability was said to be "robust" if G could tolerate considerable perturbation before I + G became singular. Invited Paper presented at the Second Annual Workshop on the Informa- tion Linkage between Applied Mathematics and Industry held at Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, Feb. 20-24, 1979; this research was partially supported by NASA under grant NGL-22-009-124 and the Department of Energy under grant ET-78-(01-3395). ** Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems, Pm. 35-331, M.I.T., Cambridge, MA 02139. -2- We shall now indulge in a modicum of abstraction and attempt to formalize the notion of robustness. The definition will employ some jargon from algebraic geometry and will be applicable to a variety of situations.

In this paper, we have discussed a new perfect number called as multiplicatively – perfect numbers (also called as 푀 − perfect). Further we study about Abundant, Deficient, Harmonic and Unitary analogue of harmonic numbers.

Introduction Sandor and Egri [3], Sandor [4] have defined multiplicatively perfect and multiplicatively + perfect numbers as follows, A positive integer 푛 ≥ 1 is called multiplicatively perfect if 푅 푛 = 푛2, (1) where, 푅 푛 is product of divisor function.

We say that 푛 is 푀 + perfect number if 2 푅+ 푛 = 푛 . (3) Now, in this paper we define 푀 − perfect numbers as follows, let 푅− 푛 denotes the product of odd divisors of 푛 .We say that 푛 is 푀 − perfect if 346 Shikha Yadav and Surendra Yadav 2 푅− 푛 = 푛 .

  • The Humble Sum of Remainders Function
    DRAFT VOL. 78, NO. 4, OCTOBER 2005 1 The Humble Sum of Remainders Function Michael Z. Spivey Samford University Birmingham, Alabama 35229 [email protected] The sum of divisors function is one of the fundamental functions in elementary number theory. In this note, we shine a little light on one of its lesser-known rela- tives, the sum of remainders function. We do this by illustrating how straightforward variations of the sum of remainders can 1) provide an alternative characterization for perfect numbers, and 2) help provide a formula for sums of powers of the first n posi- tive integers. Finally, we give a brief discussion of perhaps why the sum of remainders function, despite its usefulness, is less well known than the sum of divisors function. Some notation is in order. The standard notation for the sum of divisors function is σ(n): X σ(n) = d: djn We denote the sum of remainders function by ½(n), namely, Xn ½(n) = n mod d: d=1 Sums of remainders and perfect numbers A perfect number is a number equal to the sum of its positive divisors excluding itself. Another way to express this is that perfect numbers are those such that σ(n) = 2n. The three smallest perfect numbers are 6; 28, and 496. Euclid proved that every number of the form 2p¡1(2p ¡ 1); where p and 2p ¡ 1 are prime, is perfect. Euler proved the converse, that numbers of this form are the only even perfect numbers [3, p. 59]. One of the famous unsolved problems in number theory is whether or not there are any odd perfect numbers.
