Relatively Bounded Perturbations of a Closed Linear Relation and Its Adjoint by Guixin Xu

“…By using this result, two perturbation theorems for a closed relation and its adjoint are given. These results generalize the corresponding results for single-valued linear operators to linear relations and some of which weaken certain assumptions of the related existing results.…”

Nonlinear connections and spinor geometry by Sergiu I. Vacaru, Nadejda A. Vicol

“…We present an introduction to the geometry of higher-order vector and covector bundles (including higher-order generalizations of the Finsler geometry and Kaluza-Klein gravity) and review the basic results on Clifford and spinor structures on spaces with generic local anisotropy modeled by anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connection structures. …”

Mild Solutions of Neutral Semilinear Stochastic Functional Dynamic Systems with Local Non-Lipschitz Coefficients by Feng Jiang

“…In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to neutral semilinear stochastic functional dynamic systems under local non-Lipschitz conditions on the coefficients by means of the stopping time technique. We especially generalize and improve the results that appeared in Govinadan (2005), Bao and Hou (2010), and Jiang and Shen (2011).…”

Hamiltonian and Lagrangian BRST Quantization in Riemann Manifold II by Vipul Kumar Pandey

“…We have previously developed the BRST quantization on the hypersurface VN−1 embedded in N-dimensional Euclidean space RN in both Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulation. We generalize the formalism in the case of L-dimensional manifold VL embedded in RN with 1≤L<N. …”

Sharp Efficiency for Vector Equilibrium Problems on Banach Spaces by Si-Huan Li, Qiang Wang, Shu Xu, Jun-Xiang Wang

“…Moreover, the Fermat rules for local efficient solutions of vector equilibrium problems are extended to the sharp efficient solutions by means of the Clarke generalized differentiation and the normal cone. As applications, some necessary optimality conditions and sufficient optimality conditions for local sharp efficient solutions of a vector optimization problem with an abstract constraint and a vector variational inequality are obtained, respectively.…”

Existence of Solutions for Anti-Periodic Fractional Differential Inclusions with ψ-Caupto Fractional Derivative by Dandan Yang, Chuanzhi Bai

“…By means of some standard fixed point theorems, sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions for the fractional differential inclusions with ψ-Caputo derivatives are presented. Our result generalizes the known special case if ψx=x and single known results to the multi-valued ones.…”

La grande transformation des politiques agricoles anglaise et française : une sociologie de l’hégémonie économique by Matthieu Ansaloni, Gilles Allaire

“…Combining Regulation theory and political sociology, it sheds light on their singularities by distinguishing three mechanisms: the first relates to national division of intellectual work on agriculture; the second to the production of economic constraint; the third to state action which stabilizes political struggles. Generally speaking, through the triptych “policy regime, coalition, resource”, this article suggest a materialist sociology of economic hegemony.…”

Zur ökologischen Bildersprache bei den alttestamentlichen Propheten by Andrzej Najda

“…The prophets of the Old Testament in the fulfillment of their task of proclaiming God’s word make use of various literary forms and frequently use pictures from different disciplines of life, in order to be understandable for their listeners, in order to convince them and to make impression on them, they especially willingly make use of pictures taken from the sphere of ecology, making different comparisons and metaphors, these generally concern God, His action towards Israel and the Chosen Nation itself.…”
