For a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety, it is a classical problem to describe its defining equations and the syzygies among them. In this paper, we precisely determine a minimal generating set and the minimal free resolution of defining ideals of some rational curves of maximal genus in ℙ³.

We investigate the existence of multiple positive solutions of the following elliptic equation with a Schrödinger-type term: $$\begin{cases}-{\Delta}u+V(x)u={\lambda}f(u){\quad} x{\in}{\Omega},\\{\qquad}{\qquad}{\quad}u=0, {\qquad}\;x{\in}\partial{\Omega},\end{cases}$$, where 0 ∈ Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ^N , N ≥ 1, with a smooth boundary ∂Ω, f ∈ C[0, ∞), V ∈ L^∞(Ω) and λ is a positive parameter. In particular, when f(s) > 0 for 0 ≤ s < σ and f(s) < 0 for s > σ, we establish the existence of at least three positive solutions for a certain range of λ by using the method of sub and supersolutions.

This paper explores the application of matrix factorization, specifically CUR decomposition, in the clustering of Korean language documents by topic. It addresses the unique challenges of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in dealing with the Korean language's distinctive features, such as agglutinative words and morphological ambiguity. The study compares the effectiveness of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) using CUR decomposition with the classical Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method in the context of Korean text. Experiments are conducted using Korean Wikipedia documents and newspaper data, providing insight into the accuracy and efficiency of these techniques. The findings demonstrate the potential of CUR decomposition to improve the accuracy of document clustering in Korean, offering a valuable approach to text mining and information retrieval in agglutinative languages.

We establish an existence result for a positive solution to the Schrödinger-type singular semipositone problem: $-{\Delta}u\,=\,V(x)u\,=\,{\lambda}{\frac{f(u)}{u^{\alpha}}}$ in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ^N , N > 2, λ ∈ ℝ is a positive parameter, V ∈ L^∞(Ω), 0 < α < 1, f ∈ C([0, ∞), ℝ) with f(0) < 0. In particular, when ${\frac{f(s)}{s^{\alpha}}}$ is sublinear at infinity, we establish the existence of a positive solutions for λ ≫ 1. The proofs are mainly based on the sub and supersolution method. Further, we extend our existence result to infinite semipositone problems with mixed boundary conditions.

In the work we generate arithmetic matrix P^(c,b,a) of (cx² + bx+a)ⁿ from a Pascal matrix P^(1,1). We extend an identity P^(1,1))O^(1,1) = P^(1,1,1) with an obtuse matrix O^(1,1) to k degree polynomials. For the purpose we study P^(1,1)kO^(1,1) and find generating polynomials of O^(1,1)k.

This paper aims to provide a general review of Opinion Dynamics (OD) and its related models, along with application examples for special agents. We will discuss special classes of social actors, such as informed actors, opponents, and extremists, in the context of opinion dynamics. Our main objective is to determine the extent to which opinion dynamics, as a mathematical sociology, relates to social reality. To achieve this, we present key elements of mathematical sociology in Opinion Dynamics, which we then apply to real socioeconomic phenomena using modeling assumptions and mathematical formulations.
