Under a reasonable vanishing hypothesis, Donaldson and Friedman proved that the connected sum of two self-dual Riemannian 4-manifolds is again self-dual. Here we prove that the same result can be extended to the positive scalar curvature case. This is an analogue of the classical theorem of Gromov-Lawson and Schoen-Yau in the self-dual category. The proof is based on twistor theory.

Hyperbolic conservation laws on manifolds. An error estimate for finite volume schemes
Lefloch, Philippe G.; Okutmuştur, Baver; Neves, Wladimir (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-07-01)
Following Ben-Artzi and LeFloch, we consider nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a Riemannian manifold, and we establish an L (1)-error estimate for a class of finite volume schemes allowing for the approximation of entropy solutions to the initial value problem. The error in the L (1) norm is of order h (1/4) at most, where h represents the maximal diameter of elements in the family of geodesic triangulations. The proof relies on a suitable generalization of Cockburn, Coquel, and LeFloch's theo...
Hilbert functions of Gorenstein monomial curves
Arslan, Feza; Mete, Pinar (American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2007-01-01)
It is a conjecture due to M. E. Rossi that the Hilbert function of a one-dimensional Gorenstein local ring is non-decreasing. In this article, we show that the Hilbert function is non-decreasing for local Gorenstein rings with embedding dimension four associated to monomial curves, under some arithmetic assumptions on the generators of their de. ning ideals in the non-complete intersection case. In order to obtain this result, we determine the generators of their tangent cones explicitly by using standard b...

Sturmian comparison theory for linear and half-linear impulsive differential equations
Ozbekler, A.; Zafer, Ağacık (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-30)
In this paper, we investigate Sturmian comparison theory for second-order half-linear differential equations with fixed moments of impulse actions. It is shown that impulse actions may greatly change the behavior of solutions in comparison. Several oscillation criteria are also derived to illustrate the results.
