We prove that for every non-negative integer g, there exists a bound on the number of ends of a complete, embedded minimal surface M in R3 of genus g and finite topology. This bound on the finite number of ends when M has at least two ends implies that M has finite stability index which is bounded by a constant that only depends on its genus.

This paper studies the convergence of the adaptively iterative thresholding (AIT) algorithm for compressed sensing. We first introduce a generalized restricted isometry property (gRIP). Then, we prove that the AIT algorithm converges to the original sparse solution at a linear rate under a certain gRIP condition in the noise free case. While in the noisy case, its convergence rate is also linear until attaining a certain error bound. Moreover, as by-products, we also provide some sufficient conditions for the convergence of the AIT algorithm based on the two well-known properties, i.e., the coherence property and the restricted isometry property (RIP), respectively. It should be pointed out that such two properties are special cases of gRIP. The solid improvements on the theoretical results are demonstrated and compared with the known results. Finally, we provide a series of simulations to verify the correctness of the theoretical assertions as well as the effectiveness of the AIT algorithm.

Recently, Tsai-Tseng-Yau constructed new invariants of symplectic manifolds: a sequence of A-infinity algebras built of differential forms on the symplectic manifold. We show that these symplectic A-infinity algebras have a simple topological interpretation. Namely, when the cohomology class of the symplectic form is integral, these A-infinity algebras are equivalent to the standard de Rham differential graded algebra on certain odd dimensional sphere bundles over the symplectic manifold. From this equivalence, we deduce for a closed symplectic manifold that Tsai-Tseng-Yau's symplectic A-infinity algebras satisfy the Calabi-Yau property, and importantly, that they can be used to define an intersection theory for coisotropic/isotropic chains. We further demonstrate that these symplectic A-infinity algebras satisfy several functorial properties and lay the groundwork for addressing Weinstein functoriality and invariance in the smooth category.
