For x = (x1, x2, · · · , xn) ∈ R+, the symmetric function φn(x, r) is defined by φn(x, r) = φn(x1, x2, · · · , xn; r) = ∏ 1≤i1<i2···<ir≤n  r ∑ j=1 1 + xij xij  , where r = 1, 2, · · · , n, and i1, i2, · · · , in are positive integers. In this article, the Schur convexity, Schur multiplicative convexity and Schur harmonic convexity of φn(x, r) are discussed. As applications, some inequalitie...

Introduced by Okounkov and Reshetikhin in 2003, the Schur Process has been shown to be a determinantal point process, so that each of its correlation functions are determinants of minors of one correlation kernel matrix. In previous papers, this was derived using determinantal expressions of the skew-Schur functions; in this paper, we obtain this result in a different way, using the fact that t...

We introduce the Frobenius–Schur indicator for categories with duality to give a category-theoretical understanding of various generalizations of the Frobenius–Schur theorem including that for semisimple quasi-Hopf algebras, weak Hopf C∗-algebras and association schemes. Our framework also clarifies a mechanism of how the “twisted” theory arises from the ordinary case. As a demonstration, we es...

This paper is focused on the applications of Schur complements to determinant inequalities. It presents a monotonic characterization of Schur complements in the L öwner partial ordering sense such that a new proof of the Hadamard-Fischer-Koteljanski inequality is obtained. Meanwhile, it presents matrix identities and determinant inequalities involving positive semidefinite matrices and extends ...

The paper compares coupled multigrid methods and pressure Schur complement schemes (operator splitting schemes) for the solution of the steady state and time dependent incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. We consider pressure Schur complement schemes with multigrid as well as single grid methods for the solution of the Schur complement problem for the pressure. The numerical tests have been ...

 Piptatherum ferganense is recorded as a new grass species for the flora of Iran collected from Ghorkhod Protected Area and Aladagh Mountains in North Khorassan province. The core distribution range of the species is Eastern Irano-Turanian with a disjunction in northeastern Iran. The morphological characters of P. ferganense are illustrated and compared with the closely related P. latifolium. I...

 According to a class of constrained‎ ‎minimization problems‎, ‎the Schwartz symmetrization process and the‎ ‎compactness lemma of Strauss‎, ‎we prove that there is a‎ ‎nontrivial ground state solution for a class of $p$-Laplace‎ ‎equations without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition‎.

We give a presentation of cyclotomic q-Schur algebras by generators and defining relations. As an application, we give an algorithm for computing decomposition numbers of cyclotomic q-Schur algebras. § 0. Introduction Let Hn,r be an Ariki-Koike algebra associated to a complex reflection group Sn ⋉ (Z/rZ). A cyclotomic q-Schur algebra Sn,r associated to Hn,r, introduced in [DJM], is defined as a...
