since the dawn of space age, international community was faced with the challenge of determination of the norms governing human activities in space. among these, sovereignty, appropriation and property rights were the most sophisticated problems. the question was that whether states are permitted to extend their terrestrial sovereignty to outer space and appropriate space and celestial bodies o...

in this paper, we discuss the geometric properties of solution and lower bound estimate of ∆um−1 of the cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic equation with periodic source term ut =∆um+ upsint. our objective is to show that: (1)with continuous variation of time t, the surface ϕ = [u(x,t)]mδq is a complete riemannian manifold floating in space rn+1and is tangent to the space rn at ∂h0(t); (2...

a projective parameter of a geodesic as solution of certain ode is defined to be a parameter which is invariant under projective change of metric. using projective parameter and poincaré metric, an intrinsic projectively invariant pseudo-distance can be constructed. in the present work, solutions of the above ode are characterized with respect to the sign of parallel ricci tensor on a finsler s...
