A change of Finsler metric L(x,y)longrightarrowL(x,y) is called a Randers change of L, if L(x,y) = L(x,y) +$\rho$(x,y), where $\rho$(x,y) = $\rho$(sub)i(x)y(sup)i is a 1-form on a smooth manifold M(sup)n. Let us consider the special Randers change of Finsler metric LlongrightarrowL = L + $\beta$ by $\beta$. On the basis of this special Randers change, the purpose of the present paper is devoted to studying the conditions for Finsler space F(sup)n which are transformed by a special Randers change of Finsler spaces F(sup)n with ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-metrics of Douglas type to be also of Douglas type, and vice versa.

To predict the fate of groundwater contaminants, accurate spatially continuous information is needed. Because most field sampling of groundwater contaminants are not conducted spatially continuous manner, a special estimation technique is required to interpolate/extrapolate concentration distributions at unmeasured locations. A practical three-dimensional estimations method for in situ groundwater contaminant concentrations is introduced. It consistas of two general steps: estimation of macroscopic transport process and kriging. Using field data and nonlinear optimization techniques, the macroscopic behavior of the contaminant plume is estimated. A spatial distribution of residuals is obtained by subtracting the macroscopic transport portion from field data, then kriging is applied to estimate residuals at unsampled locations. To reduce outlier effects on obtaining correlations between residual data which are needed for determining variougram models, the R(sub)p-estimator is introduced. The proposed estimation method is applied to a field data set.

Making use of the singular spectrum in the Denjoy-Carleman class we prove the microlocal decomposition theorem and quasianalytic versions of Holmgren's uniqueness theorem and watermelon theorem.

In this paper we establish limit theorems on the large and small increments of a two-parameter Gaussian random process on rectangles in the Euclidean plane via estimating upper bounds of large deviation probabilities on suprema of the two-parameter Gaussian random process.

Let Q(n,1) be the set of even unimodular positive definite integral quadratic forms in n-variables. Then n is divisible by 8. For A[X] in Q(n,1), the theta series $\theta$(sub)A(z) = ∑(sub)X∈Z(sup)n e(sup)$\pi$izA[X] (Z∈h (※Equations, See Full-text) the complex upper half plane) is a modular form of weight n/2 for the congruence group Γ$_1$(8) = {$\delta$∈SL$_2$(Z)│$\delta$≡()mod 8} (※Equation, See Full-text). If n$\geq$24 and A[X], B{X} are tow quadratic forms in Q(n,1), the quotient $\theta$(sub)A(z)/$\theta$(sub)B(z) is a modular function for Γ$_1$(8). Since we identify the field of modular functions for Γ$_1$(8) with the function field K(X$_1$(8)) of the modular curve X$_1$(8) = Γ$_1$(8)＼h(sup)* (h(sup)* the extended plane of h) with genus 0, we can express it as a rational function of j(sub) 1,8 over C which is a field generator of K(X$_1$(8)) and defined by j(sub)1,8(z) = $\theta$$_3$(2z)/$\theta$$_3$(4z). Here, $\theta$$_3$ is the classical Jacobi theta series.

In this paper we show that if a dynamical system $\phi$ has bishadowing and cyclically bishadowing properties on the chain recurrent set CR($\phi$) then all nearby continuous perturbations of $\phi$ behave chaotically on a neighborhood of each chain component of $\phi$ wheneer it has a fixed point. This is a generalization of the results obtained by Diamond et al.([3]).

Let $\kappa$ be a real abelian field of conductor f and $\kappa$(sub)$\infty$ = ∪(sub)n$\geq$0$\kappa$(sub)n be its Z(sub)p-extension for an odd prime p such that płf$\phi$(f). he aim of this paper is ot compute the cohomology groups of circular units. For m>n$\geq$0, let G(sub)m,n be the Galois group Gal($\kappa$(sub)m/$\kappa$(sub)n) and C(sub)m be the group of circular units of $\kappa$(sub)m. Let l be the number of prime ideals of $\kappa$ above p. Then, for mm>n$\geq$0, we have (1) C(sub)m(sup)G(sub)m,n = C(sub)n, (2) H(sup)i(G(sub)m,n, C(sub)m) = (Z/p(sup)m-n Z)(sup)l-1 if i is even, (3) H(sup)i(G(sub)m,n, C(sub)m) = (Z/P(sup)m-n Z)(sup l) if i is odd (※Equations, See Full-text).

Revenel computed the Adams spectral sequence converging to BP(Ω$^2$S(sup)2n+1) and got the E(sub)$\infty$-term. Then he gave the conjecture about the extension. Here we prove that there should be non-trivial extension. We also study the BP(sub)*BP comodule structures on the polynomial algebras which are related with BP(sub)*(Ω$^2$S(sup)2n+1).

In this paper, we will prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic functional equation of Pexider type, f$_1$(x+y) + F$_2$(x-y) = f$_3$(x) + f$_4$(y).

We propose a statistical interpolation approximate solution for a nonlinear stochastic integral equation of a stock price process. The proposed method has the order O(h$^2$) of local error under the weaker conditions of $\mu$ and $\sigma$ than those of Milstein' scheme.

This paper introduces the notions of essential and inessential map for countably $textsc{k}$-set contractive maps. These ideas enable us to establish a Krasnoselskii-Petryshyn compression and expansion theorem in a cone for countably $textsc{k}$-set contractive maps.

In this paper we are concerned with theoretical properties of gap functions for the extended variational inequality problem (EVI) in a general Banach space. We will present a correction of a recent result of Chen et. al. without assuming the convexity of the given function Ω. Using this correction, we will discuss the continuity and the differentiability of a gap function, and compute its gradient formula under tow particular situations in a general Banach space. Our results can be regarded as infinite dimensional generalizations of the well-known results of Fukushima, and Zhu and Marcotte with soem modifications.
