Complex, contact and symmetric manifolds: In honor of L. Vanhecke

This publication is targeted at the interrelations among the curvature and the geometry of Riemannian manifolds. It comprises learn and survey articles according to the most talks introduced on the foreign Congress

Differential Geometry and the Calculus of Variations

During this booklet, we examine theoretical and sensible facets of computing tools for mathematical modelling of nonlinear platforms. a couple of computing suggestions are thought of, corresponding to equipment of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation options together with a non-Lagrange interpolation; equipment of process illustration topic to constraints linked to techniques of causality, reminiscence and stationarity; tools of process illustration with an accuracy that's the most sensible inside a given type of types; tools of covariance matrix estimation;methods for low-rank matrix approximations; hybrid equipment in accordance with a mix of iterative tactics and most sensible operator approximation; andmethods for info compression and filtering below situation clear out version may still fulfill regulations linked to causality and forms of reminiscence.

II. Homotopy Properties of Block Bundles Let ξ be a block bundle over B with fibre F . A block fibration for ξ is a P L map π : E(ξ)−−→|B| such that Eβ (ξ) = π −1 (β) for each β ∈ B. A block homotopy for ξ is a P L map H : E(ξ) × I−−→|B| such that, for all t ∈ I, Ht : E(ξ)−−→|B| is a block fibration for ξ. Lemma 6. Any block bundle ξ has a block fibration, and any two block fibrations for ξ are block homotopic. Proof. Write B r for the r-skeleton of B. There is a unique block fibration π : E(ξ|B 0)−−→|B 0 |.
