The link invariant, arising from the cyclic quantum dilogarithm via the particular R-matrix construction, is proved to coincide with the invariant of triangulated links in S introduced in [14]. The obtained invariant, like Alexander-Conway polynomial, vanishes on disjoint union of links. The R-matrix can be considered as the cyclic analog of the universal R-matrix associated with Uq(sl(2)) algebra.
An enumeration of knots and links, and some of their algebraic properties
Publisher Summary This chapter describes knots and links, and some of their algebraic properties. An edge-connected 4-valent planar map is called a polyhedron, and a polyhedron is basic if no region has just 2 vertices. The term region includes the infinite region, which is regarded in the same light as the others. Knot diagrams can be obtained from polyhedra by substituting tangles for their vertices, for instance, tangles 1 or −1 could always be substituted. A knot diagram K can be obtained by substituting algebraic tangles for the vertices of some nonbasic polyhedron P. There is a polyhedron Q with fewer vertices than P obtained by shrinking some 2-vertex region of P, and K can simply be obtained by substituting algebraic tangles for the vertices of Q. Any knot diagram can be obtained by substituting algebraic tangles for the vertices of some basic polyhedron P in fact P, and the manner of substitution is essentially unique.
Inhomogeneous Boundary Value Problems for Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations: Well-Posedness and Sensitivity Analysis
In this paper compressible, stationary Navier–Stokes equations are considered. A framework for analysis of such equations is established. In particular, the well-posedness for inhomogeneous boundary value problems of elliptic-hyperbolic type is shown. Analysis is performed for small perturbations of the so-called approximate solutions that take form (1.12). The approximate solutions are determined from Stokes problem (1.11). The small perturbations are given by solutions to (1.13). The uniqueness of solutions for problem (1.13) is proved, and, in addition, the differentiability of solutions with respect to the coefficients of differential operators is shown. The results on the well-posedness of nonlinear problems are interesting on their own and are used to obtain the shape differentiability of the drag functional for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The shape gradient of the drag functional is derived in the classical and useful for computations form; an appropriate adjoint state is introduced to ...
