In this paper, we study the two following minimization problems: S0(q, φ) = inf u∈H2 0 (Ω),‖u+φ‖q=1 ∫ Ω | u|2 and Sθ (q, φ) = inf u∈H2 θ (Ω),‖u+φ‖q=1 ∫ Ω | u|2. We prove that for a class of maps φ, we have Sθ (q, φ) < S0(q, φ) and for another class, we have Sθ (q, φ) = S0(q, φ). c © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. Therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems. Previous studies have shown that approximately 50% of total power consumption is used in cache memories. There is a direct relationship between power consumption and replacement quantity made in cache. The less the number of replacements is, the less...

A Banach lattice algebra is a Banach lattice, an associative algebra with a sub-multiplicative norm and the product of positive elements should be positive. In this note we study the Arens regularity and cohomological properties of Banach lattice algebras.

Denef and Loeser defined a map from the Grothendieck ring of sets definable in pseudo-finite fields to the Grothendieck ring of Chow motives, thus enabling to apply any cohomological invariant to these sets. We generalize this to perfect, pseudo algebraically closed fields with pro-cyclic Galois group. In addition, we define some maps between different Grothendieck rings of definable sets which...

In this paper, by using Gröbner-Shirshov bases, we show that in the following classes, each (resp. countably generated) algebra can be embedded into a simple (resp. two-generated) algebra: associative differential algebras, associative Ω-algebras, associative λ-differential algebras. We show that in the following classes, each countably generated algebra over a countable field k can be embedded...
