We solve the entanglement classification under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC) for general n-qubit states. For two arbitrary pure n-qubit states connected via local operations, we establish an equation between the two coefficient matrices associated with the states. The rank of the coefficient matrix is preserved under SLOCC and gives rise to a simple way of partitioning all the pure states of n qubits into different families of entanglement classes, as exemplified here. When applied to the symmetric states, this approach reveals that all the Dicke states |l,n> with l=1,..., [n/2] are inequivalent under SLOCC.

This paper is concerned with superconvergence properties of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for 2-D linear hyperbolic conservation laws over rectangular meshes when upwind fluxes are used. We prove, under some suitable initial and boundary discretizations, the ($2k+1$)-th order superconvergence rate of the DG approximation at the downwind points and for the cell averages, when piecewise tensor-product polynomials of degree $k$ are used. Moreover, we prove that the gradient of the DG solution is superconvergent with a rate of ($k+1$)-th order at all interior left Radau points; and the function value approximation is superconvergent at all right Radau points with a rate of ($k+2$)-th order. Numerical experiments indicate that the aforementioned superconvergence rates are sharp.

Characteristic numbers of families of maps of nodal curves to$P$^{2}are defined as intersection of natural divisor classes. (This definition agrees with the usual definition for families of plane curves.) Simple recursions for characteristic numbers of genus one plane curves of all degrees are computed.
