In this article we prove exactness of the homotopy sequence overconvergent $p$-adic fundamental groups for a smooth and projective morphism in characteristic $p$. We do so by first proving corresponding result rigid analytic varieties $0$, following dos Santos algebraic case. $p$, then proceed series reductions to case liftable family curves, where can apply result.

The purpose of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, we show that every Cholesky-based weighted central path for semidefinite programming is analytic under strict complementarity. This result is applied to homogeneous cone programming to show that the central paths defined by the known class of optimal self-concordant barriers are analytic in the presence of strictly complementary solutions. Secondl...

We investigate the fitness advantage associated with the robustness of a phenotype against deleterious mutations using deterministic mutation-selection models of a quasispecies type equipped with a mesa-shaped fitness landscape. We obtain analytic results for the robustness effect which become exact in the limit of infinite sequence length. Thereby, we are able to clarify a seeming contradictio...

We establish necessary conditions of optimality for discrete-time infinite-horizon optimal control in presence of constraints at infinity. These necessary conditions are in form of weak and strong Pontryagin principles. We use a functional analytic framework and multipliers rules in Banach (sequence) spaces. We establish new properties on Nemytskii operators in sequence spaces. We also provide ...

Since any light interior transformation of a sphere or a Riemann surface into a sphere is topologically equivalent to an analytic transformation and any non-constant analytic transformation is light and interior, it might be expected in view of the Weierstrass Double Series Theorem that the limit of a uniformly convergent sequence of light interior mappings of a sphere into a sphere would be li...

A new sequence of eigenfunctions is developed and studied in depth. These theta polynomials are derived from a recent analytic solution of the canonical Cauchy problem for parabolic equations, namely, the inverse heat conduction problem. By appealing to the methods of the operator calculus, it is possible to categorize the new functions as polynomials of binomial and Sheffer types. The connecti...

A calculation of the linearization coefficients of the (generalized) Laguerre polynomials L")(x) is proposed by means of analytic and combinatorial methods. This paper extends to the case of an arbitrary a a combinatoric and analytic result due to Askey, Ismail, and Koornwinder and Even and Gillis.
