We describe the behavior of certain strictly plurisubharmonic functions near some real hypersurfaces in ℂ^{$n$},$n$≥3. Given a hypersurface we study continuous plurisubharmonic functions which are zero on the hypersurface and have Monge–Ampère mass greater than one in a one-sided neighborhood of the hypersurface. If we can find complex curves which have sufficiently high contact order with the hypersurface then the plurisubharmonic functions we study cannot be globally Lipschitz in the one-sided neighborhood.

Since the development of Yee scheme back in 1966, it has become one of the most popular simulation tools for modeling electromagnetic wave propagation in various situations.However, its rigorous error analysis on nonuniform rectangular type gridswas carried out until 1994 by Monk and Süli. They showed that theYee scheme is still second-order convergent on a nonuniform mesh even though the local truncation error is only of first order. In this paper, we extend their results to Maxwell’s equations in metamaterials by a simpler proof, and show the second-order superconvergence in space for the trueYee scheme instead of the only semi-discrete form discussed in Monk and Süli’s original work. Numerical results supporting our analysis are presented.

We show that theMöbius function is disjoint to every analytic skew product dynamical system on T2 over a rotation of the circle.

A classification of $\SLn$ contravariant, continuous function-valued valuations on convex bodies is established. Such valuations are natural extensions of $\SLn$ contravariant $L_p$ Minkowski valuations, the classification of which characterized $L_p$ projection bodies, which are fundamental in the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory, for $p \geq 1$. Hence our result will help to better understand extensions of the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory. In fact, our results characterize general projection functions which extend $L_p$ projection functions ($p$-th powers of the support functions of $L_p$ projection bodies) to projection functions in the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory for $0< p < 1$ and in the Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski theory.

We showed that there is a complete analogue of a representation of the quantum plane ℬq where \q\ = 1, with the classical ax+b group. We showed that the Fourier transform of the representation of ℬ-q$ on ℋ = L2(ℝ) has a limit (in the dual corepresentation) toward the Mellin transform of the unitary representation of the ax+b group, and furthermore the intertwiners of the tensor products representation has a limit toward the intertwiners of the Mellin transform of the classical ax+b representation. We also wrote explicitly the multiplicative unitary defining the quantum ax+b semigroup and showed that it defines the corepresentation that is dual to the representation of ℬq above, and also correspond precisely to the classical family of unitary representation of the ax+b group.
