Order automatic mapping class

We prove that the mapping class group of a compact surface with a nite number of punctures and non-empty boundary is order automatic. More precisely, the group is right-orderable, has an automatic structure as described by Mosher, and there exists a nite state automaton that decides, given the Mosher normal forms of two elements of the group, which of them represents the larger element of the g...

Order automatic mapping class groups

We prove that the mapping class group of a compact surface with a finite number of punctures and non-empty boundary is order automatic. More precisely, the group is right-orderable, has an automatic structure as described by Mosher, and there exists a finite state automaton that decides, given the Mosher normal forms of two elements of the group, which of them represents the larger element of t...

ON THE PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF A CLASS OF nTH ORDER NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS *

The nth order differential equation x + c (t )x + ƒ( t,x) = e(t),n>3 is considered. Using the Leray-Schauder principle, it is shown that under certain conditions on the functions involved, this equation possesses a periodic solution.
