Abstract We discuss Neumann problems for self-adjoint Laplacians on (possibly infinite) graphs. Under the assumption that heat semigroup is ultracontractive we unique solvability non-empty subgraphs with respect to vertex boundary and provide analytic probabilistic representations solutions. A second result deals canonically compactifiable graphs Royden provides conditions representations.

Essentially nothing found here is original except for a few mistakes and misprints here and there. These lecture notes are based on material from the following books: H. Royden " Real Analysis " , L. Evans and R. Gariepy " Measure Theory and Fine Properties of Functions " , J. Duoandikoetxea " Fourier Analysis " , and M. Pinsky " Introduction to Fourier Analysis and Wavelets " .

Cannibalism as a topic of interest, both general and anthropological, has seen a revival of concern in the last seven years or so. Primarily responsible for this revival is the controversial stance taken by William Arens in his book, The ManEating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy (1979). Following the publication of this work has been a deluge of articles and books, popular and specialized,...

and similarly for the right topological centre Z(r)(A′′). The algebra A is said to be Arens regular if Z(`)(A′′) = Z(r)(A′′) = A′′ and strongly Arens irregular if Z(`)(A′′) = Z(r)(A′′) = A. For example, every C∗-algebra is Arens regular [2]. There has been a great deal of study of these two algebras, especially in the case where A is the group algebra L(G) for a locally compact group G. Results...

We establish a lower estimate for the Kobayashi-Royden infinitesimal pseudometric on an almost complex manifold (M, J) admitting a bounded strictly plurisubharmonic function. We apply this result to study the boundary behaviour of the metric on a strictly pseudoconvex domain in M and to give a sufficient condition for the complete hyperbolicity of a domain in (M, J).
