We obtain cosmological four-dimensional solutions of the low-energy effective string theory by reducing a five-dimensional black hole, and black hole–de Sitter solution of the Einstein gravity down to four dimensions. The appearance of a cosmological constant in the five dimensional Einstein–Hilbert action produces a special dilaton potential in the four-dimensional effective string action. Cos...

This research project was funded by the German Academic Exchange Office (DAAD) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Our project partner was Prof. Ravi Janardan (Department of Computer Science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis). Initially, funding was given for the years 1998 and 1999. Then the project was extended to the year 2000. In this report, our original project description and ...

In this report, we present a complete theory for the fractal that is obtained when applying Newton's Method to nd the roots of a complex cubic. We show that a modiied Newton's Method improves convergence and does not yield a fractal, but basins of attraction with smooth borders. Extensions to higher-order polynomials and the numerical relevance of this fractal analysis are discussed. M. Drexler...
