    No full text
    Robert Neumann (1897–1957, Austrian exiled author and Vicepresidet of the PEN International, was even a disputatious antifascist political writer. His essays, his letters and biograpical documents give a vivid portrait of the diversity of literary life in Germay and Austria (before 1933/after 1958) and of exile in England (1933–1958).Der österreichische Schriftsteller Robert Neumann (1897–1975), Exilant und Vizepräsident des PEN International, war auch ein streitbarer antifaschistischer Publizist. Seine politisch-literarischen Aufsätze, seine Briefe und biographischen Dokumente ergeben ein lebendiges und facettenreiches Bild des literarischen Lebens in Deutschland und Österreich (vor 1933/nach 1958) und des Exils in England (1933–1958)

    summary:In this note we prove the existence of extremal solutions of the quasilinear Neumann problem (x(t)p2x(t))=f(t,x(t),x(t))-( \vert x^{^{\prime }}(t) \vert ^{p-2}x^{^{\prime }}(t))^{^{\prime }} = f(t,x(t),x ^{^{\prime }}(t)), a.e. on TT, x(0)=x(b)=0x^{^{\prime }}(0) = x^{^{\prime }}(b) =0, 2p<2\le p < \infty in the order interval [ψ,φ][\psi ,\varphi ], where ψ\psi and φ\varphi are respectively a lower and an upper solution of the Neumann problem

    Three nontrivial solutions for the p-Laplacian Neumann problems with a concave nonlinearity near the origin

    No full text
    We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem driven by the p- Laplacian, with a right-hand side nonlinearity which is concave near the origin. Using variational techniques, combined with the method of upper-lower solutions and with Morse theory, we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of which have a constant sign (one positive and one negative).FCTPOCI/MAT/55524/200

    Mean Curvature Flow with a Neumann Boundary Condition in Flat Spaces

    No full text
    In this thesis I study mean curvature flow in both Euclidean and Minkowski space with a Neumann boundary condition. In Minkowski space I show that for a convex timelike cone boundary condition, with compatible spacelike initial data, mean curvature flow with a perpendicular Neumann boundary condition exists for all time. Furthermore, by a blowdown argument I show convergence as t →∞ to a homothetically expanding hyperbolic hyperplane. I also study the case of graphs over convex domains in Minkowski space. I obtain long time existence for spacelike initial graphs which are taken by mean curvature flow with a Neumann boundary condition to a constant function as t →∞. In Euclidean space I consider boundary manifolds that are rotational tori where I write t for the unit vector field in the direction of the rotation. If the initial manifold M₀ is compatible with the boundary condition, and at no point has t as a tangent vector, then mean curvature flow with a perpendicular Neumann boundary condition exists for all time and converges to a flat cross-section of the boundary torus. I also discuss other constant angle boundary conditions

    This paper shows the existence of a reproducible competitive equilibrium in the general Von Neumann growth model, extending in this way a result due to Roemer.

    The von Neumann Model and the Early Models of General Equilibrium

    No full text
    The paper reconstructs the von Neumann model, comments on its salient features and critically reviews some of its generalisations. The issues related to thetreatment of consumption, decomposability and uniqueness of the rate of growth and interest will be especially scrutinised. The most prominent models of general equilibrium that appeared before or roughly at the same time as von Neumann's model will be also reviewed in the paper and compared with it. It will be demonstrated that none of them had any noticeable influence on von Neumann's model, which is genuinely distinct, ideologically free and methodologically fresh and forward-looking. It will be argued that the model can be viewed as a brilliant mathematical metaphor of some deep-rooted old vision, pertaining to the core issues of commodity production

    Irrational behavior in the Brown-von Neumann-Nash dynamics

    No full text
    We present a class of games with a pure strategy being strictly dominated by another pure strategy such that the former survives along most solutions of the Brown-von Neumann-Nash dynamics.Nash map, BNN dynamics, Dominated strategies

    Relative Haagerup property for arbitrary von Neumann algebras

    No full text
    We introduce the relative Haagerup approximation property for a unital, expected inclusion of arbitrary von Neumann algebras and show that if the smaller algebra is finite then the notion only depends on the inclusion itself, and not on the choice of the conditional expectation. Several variations of the definition are shown to be equivalent in this case, and in particular the approximating maps can be chosen to be unital and preserving the reference state. The concept is then applied to amalgamated free products of von Neumann algebras and used to deduce that the standard Haagerup property for a von Neumann algebra is stable under taking free products with amalgamation over finite-dimensional subalgebras. The general results are illustrated by examples coming from q-deformed Hecke-von Neumann algebras and von Neumann algebras of quantum orthogonal groups.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Analysi

    On The Two Dimensional Gierer-Meinhardt system with strong coupling

    No full text
    We construct solutions with a single interior condensation point for the two-dimensional Gierer-Meinhardt system with strong coupling. The condensation point is located at a nondegenerate critical point of the diagonal part of the regular part of the Green's function for -\Delta +1 nder the Neumann boundary condition. Our method is based on Liapunov-Schmidt reduction for a system of elliptic equations
