ANNIVERSARY. Vladimir A. Kozlov

About a result of S.M. Kozlov

We give an alternative proof and improve upon a result of S.M. Kozlov [7]. It deals with the asymptotic of the integrated density of states of the acoustic operator Hω = −∇ρω∇, at the bottom of the spectrum. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification :81Q10, 35P05, 37A30, 47F05.

Michael Kozlov: A twist in membrane physics

A t the most fundamental level, the formation and remodeling of intracellular vesicles, tubules, and cytoskeletal structures is dictated by the physical and mechanical properties of their components. Studying these properties and the forces needed to alter them can therefore bring a better understanding of the proteina-ceous systems that provide such forces and that—quite literally—shape a cell...

The increasing demand for the use of database systems as an integrating factor in CAD/CAM applications has necessitated the development of database systems with appropriate modelling and retrieval capabilities. One essential problem is the treatment of geometric data which has led to the development of spatial databases. Unfortunately, most proposals only deal with simple geometric objects like...

Memories of Vladimir Arnold

1. Dima Arnold in my life, by Dmitry Fuchs Unfortunately, I have never been Arnold’s student, although as a mathematician, I owe him a lot. He was just two years older than I, and according to the University records, the time distance between us was still less: when I was admitted to the Moscow State University as a freshman, he was a sophomore. We knew each other, but did not communicate much....
