Abstract: By a compactness argument, it was shown that, the boundary regularity theorems of Schoen-Uhlenbeck [A regularity theory for harmonic maps. J. Differential Geom. 17 (1982), no. 2, 307–335] and Jost-Meier [Boundary regularity for minima of certain quadratic functionals. Math. Ann. 262 (1983), no. 4, 549–561] are uniform in the domains, boundary data, and the energy. The resulting estima...

The principal results of this paper consist of an intrinsic definition of the Evans function in terms of newly introduced generalized matrix-valued Jost solutions for general first-order matrix-valued differential equations on the real line, and a proof of the fact that the Evans function, a finite-dimensional determinant by construction, coincides with a modified Fredholm determinant associate...

Jost I. BARRAQUER MONER (1957) has described in detail many possible variations of buried sutures in the section for cataract extractions, and another was mentioned by Joaquin Barraquer Moner (1956). These have numerous advantages, especially reduced post-operative discomfort. The modification to be described seems to produce better apposition of the edges of the wound, and places the knot behi...

How do people cope when they feel uninformed or unable to understand important social issues, such as the environment, energy concerns, or the economy? Do they seek out information, or do they simply ignore the threatening issue at hand? One would intuitively expect that a lack of knowledge would motivate an increased, unbiased search for information, thereby facilitating participation and enga...

We present a Non-relativistic Quantum mechanical model, which exhibits the realization of Riemann Conjecture. The technique depends on exposing the S-wave Jost function at zero energy and in identifying it with the Riemann ξ(s) function following a seminal paper of N. N. Khuri. ∗I dedicate this note to my teacher, George Sudarshan of the University of Texas at Austin We begin by recalling the a...

This paper assumes that in addition to the conventional (sel sh) preferences over outcomes, players in a strategic environment have preferences over strategies. In the context of two-player games, it provides conditions under which a player's preferences over strategies can be represented as a weighted average of the individual's sel sh payo s and the sel sh payo s of the opponent. The weight o...
