Abstract A tournament is an orientation of a graph. Each edge match, directed towards the winner. The score sequence lists number wins by each team. In this article, interpreting sequences geometrically, we generalize and extend classical theorems Landau (Bull. Math. Biophys. 15 , 143–148 (1953)) Moon (Pac. J. 13 1343–1345 (1963)), via theory zonotopal tilings.

We apply a number of schemes which variationally improve perturbation theory for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in order to extract estimates for the dynamic exponent z. The results for the various schemes show the same broad features, giving closer agreement with numerical simulations in low dimensions than self-consistent methods. They do, however, continue to predict that z = 2 in some cri...

W artykule przedstawiono analizę ikonografii dwóch pieczęci konwentu lubiąskiego wykonanych w pierwszej połowie XIV w., a także źródła inspiracji obrazu pieczęci. Wskazano następnie prawdopodobne przyczyny wymiany typariuszy między 1341 1343 r. Uwagę poświęcono ponadto autorstwu lubiąskiego.
