چکیده

In a brilliant series of papers, A. D. Aleksandrov (1956,1957,1958a,1958b) and Aleksandrov-Volkov (1958) introduced a re ection method based upon the Hopf boundary-point lemma and strong maximum principle. Aleksandrov used his method to show that for a general class of curvature functions, any constant curvature hypersurface embedded in either Euclidean space, hyperbolic space, or a hemisphere of the sphere, is a round sphere of codimension one. J. Serrin (1971), by a beautiful application of the re ection method, proved that solutions to the Poisson equation on a domain with over-determined boundary conditions must be a radial solution on the ball. In a pair of fundamental papers, B. Gidas, W.-M. Ni, and L. Nirenberg (1979,1981) proved symmetry of positive solutions to a class of nonlinear second order spherically symmetric elliptic equations. In each of the above papers, the proof is based upon Aleksandrov's method of re ecting the solution about a moving plane. In this paper, the rst in a series, we introduce a new variation of the re ection method. Instead of re ecting a xed solution about a moving plane, we re ect a one-parameter

Hygrothermal Creep and Stress Redistribution Analysis of Temperature and Moisture Dependent Magneto-Electro-Elastic Hollow Sphere

In this article, the time-dependent stress redistribution analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) thick-walled sphere subjected to mechanical, electrical, magnetic and uniform temperature gradient as well as moisture concentration gradient is presented. Combining constitutive equations of MEE with stress-strain relations as well as strain-displacement relations results in obtaining a differen...

Dissipative effects in Multilevel Systems

Dissipation is sometimes regarded as an inevitable and regrettable presence in the real evolution of a quantum system. However, the effects may not always be malign, although often non-intuitive and may even be beneficial. In this note we we display some of these effects for N-level systems, where N = 2, 3, 4. We start with an elementary introduction to dissipative effects on the Bloch Sphere, ...

Parabolic starlike mappings of the unit ball $B^n$

Let $f$ be a locally univalent function on the unit disk $U$. We consider the normalized extensions of $f$ to the Euclidean unit ball $B^nsubseteqmathbb{C}^n$ given by $$Phi_{n,gamma}(f)(z)=left(f(z_1),(f'(z_1))^gammahat{z}right),$$  where $gammain[0,1/2]$, $z=(z_1,hat{z})in B^n$ and $$Psi_{n,beta}(f)(z)=left(f(z_1),(frac{f(z_1)}{z_1})^betahat{z}right),$$ in which $betain[0,1]$, $f(z_1)neq 0$ a...
