We prove the Poincaré inequality for vector fields on the balls of the control distance by integrating along subunit paths. Our method requires that the balls are representable by means of suitable “controllable almost exponential maps”.

We calculate the dimension of the locus of Jacobian elliptic surfaces over P1 with a given Picard number, in the corresponding moduli space.

We present a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme with suitable quadrature rules \cite{Tchen2017entropy} for ideal compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations on structural meshes. The semi-discrete scheme is analyzed to be entropy stable by using the symmetrizable version of the equations as introduced by Godunov \cite{godunov1972symmetric}, the entropy stable DG framework with suitable quadrature rules \cite{Tchen2017entropy}, the entropy conservative flux in \cite{chandrashekar2016entropy} inside each cell and the entropy dissipative approximate Godunov type numerical flux at cell interfaces to make the scheme entropy stable. {\color{blue}{ The main difficulty in the generalization of the results in \cite{Tchen2017entropy} is the appearance of the non-conservative ``source terms'' added in the modified MHD model introduced by Godunov \cite{godunov1972symmetric}, which do not exist in the general hyperbolic system studied in \cite{Tchen2017entropy}. Special care must be taken to discretize these ``source terms'' adequately so that the resulting DG scheme satisfies entropy stability. }} Total variation diminishing / bounded (TVD/TVB) limiters and bound-preserving limiters are applied to control spurious oscillations. We demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of this new scheme on standard MHD examples.

We provide a general framework and indicate relations between the notions of transfinite diameter, homogeneous transfinite diameter, and weighted transfinite diameter for sets in ℂ^{$N$}. An ingredient is a formula of Rumely (A Robin formula for the Fekete–Leja transfinite diameter,$Math. Ann.$$337$(2007), 729–738) which relates the Robin function and the transfinite diameter of a compact set. We also prove limiting formulas for integrals of generalized Vandermonde determinants with varying weights for a general class of compact sets and measures in ℂ^{$N$}. Our results extend to certain weights and measures defined on cones in ℝ^{$N$}.
