Let $\U_q(\fg)$ be the quantum supergroup of $\gl_{m|n}$ or the modified quantum supergroup of $\osp_{m|2n}$ over the field of rational functions in $q$, and let $V_q$ be the natural module for $\U_q(\fg)$. There exists a unique tensor functor, associated with $V_q$, from the category of ribbon graphs to the category of finite dimensional representations of $\U_q(\fg)$, which preserves ribbon category structures. We show that this functor is full in the cases $\fg=\gl_{m|n}$ or $\osp_{2\ell+1|2n}$. For $\fg=\osp_{2\ell|2n}$, we show that the space $\Hom_{\U_q(\fg)}(V_q^{\otimes r}, V_q^{\otimes s})$ is spanned by images of ribbon graphs if $r+s< 2\ell(2n+1)$. The proofs involve an equivalence of module categories for two versions of the quantisation of $\U(\fg)$.

We propose a fast local level set method for the inverse problem of gravimetry. The theoretical foundation for our approach is based on the following uniqueness result: if an open set D is star-shaped or x₃-convex with respect to its center of gravity, then its exterior potential uniquely determines the open set D. To achieve this purpose constructively, the first challenge is how to parametrize this open set D as its boundary may have a variety of possible shapes. To describe those different shapes we propose to use a level-set function to parametrize the unknown boundary of this open set. The second challenge is how to deal with the issue of partial data as gravimetric measurements are only made on a part of a given reference domain . To overcome this difficulty we propose a linear numerical continuation approach based on the single layer representation to find potentials on the boundary of some artificial domain

The conjecture about the Orlicz Pólya–Szegö principle posed in [42] is proved. The cases of equality are characterized in the affine Orlicz Pólya–Szegö principle with respect to Steiner symmetrization and Schwarz spherical symmetrization.

In this work a simple method to enforce the positivity-preserving property for general high-order conservative schemes is proposed. The method detects critical numerical fluxes which may lead to negative density and pressure, and then imposes a simple flux limiter combining the high-order numerical flux with the first-order Lax-Friedrichs flux to satisfy a sufficient condition for preserving positivity. Though an extra time-step size condition is required to maintain the formal order of accuracy, it is less restrictive than those in previous works. A number of numerical examples suggest that this method, when applied on an essentially non-oscillatory scheme, can be used to prevent positivity failure when the flow involves vacuum or near vacuum and very strong discontinuities.
