is uniquely determinate by the net.
Since
aab abs = das,
then aab defines a composition
(Xn ×Xm) in AN, i.e. the net
defines a composition.
Special nets which characterize Cartesian, geodesic, Chebyshevian,
geodesic- Chebyshevian and
Chebyshevian-geodesic compositions are introduced.
Conditions for the coefficients of the connectedness in the parameters of
these special nets are found.

These affinors define a three interrelated compositions and satisfy
aab bbs = cas, bab cbs = aas, cab abs = bas.
It is proved that
if two of the three interrelated compositions are Cartesian (Chebyshevian),
then the third one is Cartesian (Chebyshevian) too.

Let X be a closed subspace of B(H) for some Hilbert space H. In [9],
Pisier introduced Sp[ X] (1 £ p £ +¥) by
setting Sp[ X] = (S¥[ X] ,S1[ X] )q, (where
q = 1/p,
and
and showed that there are p-matricially normed spaces. In this paper we prove that conversely, if X is
a p-matricially normed space with p = 1, then there is an operator
structure on X, such that Mn1( X) = S1n[ X] where S1n[ X] is the finite dimentional
version of S1[ X] . For p ¹ 1, we have no answer.
USING MONTE CARLO METHODS TO EVALUATE SUB-OPTIMAL EXERCISE POLICIES

Key words:
American options, Monte Carlo Method.
In this paper we use a Monte Carlo scheme to find the
returns that an uninformed investor
might expect from an American option
if he followed one of several naïve
exercise strategies rather than the optimal
exercise strategy.
We consider several such strategies that an ill-advised
investor might follow.
We also consider how the expected return is affected by
how often the
investor checks to see if his exercise criteria have been met.

Let a1, ..., ar be positive integers, m = åi = 1r (ai-1)+1 and
p = max{a1,¼,ar}. For a graph G the symbol G ® (a1,¼,ar)
means that in every
r-coloring of the vertices of G there exists a monochromatic ai-clique
of color i for some i Î {1,¼, r}. In this paper we consider the
vertex Folkman numbers

We prove that F(a1,¼,ar;m-1) = m+6, if p = 3 and m ³ 6 (Theorem 3)

F(a1,¼,ar;m-1) = m+7, if p = 4 and m ³ 6 (Theorem 4).

Key words:
complex eigenvalues, energy decay.
We study the distribution of the (complex) eigenvalues
for interior boundary value problems with dissipative boundary conditions
in the case of C1-smooth boundary under some natural assumption
on the behaviour of the geodesics. As a consequence we obtain
energy decay estimates of the solutions of the corresponding wave equation.

Key words:
conjugacy class, nilpotent group.
Let FC0 be the class of all finite groups, and for each non-negative
integer n define by induction the group class FCn+1 consisting of
all groups G such that for every element x the factor group
G/CG(xG) has the property FCn.
Thus FC1-groups are
precisely groups with finite conjugacy classes, and the class FCn
obviously contains all finite groups and all nilpotent groups with
class at most n. In this paper the known theory of FC-groups
is taken as a model, and it is shown that many properties of FC-groups
have an analogue in the class of FCn-groups.
THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF THE FREE ALGEBRA OF RANK TWO

16W20.
Key words:
free algebra, free product with amalgamation, affine
automorphism, linear automorphism, bipolar structure.
The theorem of Czerniakiewicz and Makar-Limanov, that all the automorphisms
of a free algebra of rank two are tame is proved here by showing that the
group of these automorphisms is the free product of two groups
(amalgamating their intersection), the group of all affine automorphisms
and the group of all triangular automorphisms. The method consists in
finding a bipolar structure. As a consequence every finite subgroup of
automorphisms (in characteristic zero) is shown to be conjugate to a group
of linear automorphisms.
RELIABILITY FOR BETA MODELS

Beta distributions, Hypergeometric functions,

In the area of stress-strength models there has been a large amount of work
as regards estimation of the reliability R = Pr(X2 < X1)
when X1 and X2 are independent random variables belonging to the
same univariate family of distributions.
The algebraic form for R = Pr(X2 < X1) has been worked out for the majority
of the well-known distributions including Normal, uniform, exponential, gamma,
weibull and pareto.
However, there are still many other distributions for which the form of R is not known.
We have identified at least some 30 distributions with no known form for R.
In this paper we consider some of these distributions and derive
the corresponding forms for the reliability R.
The calculations involve the use of various special functions.
