2010 Mathematics Subject Classification:
52C17, 94B65.
Key words:
Sphere packing, kissing numbers, bounds for codes, linear
programming.
The maximum possible number of non-overlapping unit spheres that can touch a unit sphere in n dimensions is called kissing number. The problem for finding kissing numbers is closely connected to the more general problems of finding bounds for spherical codes and sphere packings. We survey old and recent results on the kissing numbers keeping the generality of spherical codes.
APPROXIMATION PAR DES MORPHISMES

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification:
54C60, 54H25.
Key words:
chain morphism, fixed point, weighted map.
In this paper, we consider u.s.c. multivalued maps with compact point images. We develop a notion of approximation of such maps by chain mappings between the singular chain complexes of the spaces, and use this notion to prove fixed point theorems.
RESONANCES OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL SCHRÖDINGER OPERATORS WITH STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification:
81Q20 (35P25, 81V10).
Key words:
Schrödinger operator, strong magnetic field, Resonances, resonance width.
The purpose of this paper is to study the Schrödinger operator
P(B,ω) = (Dx−By)2+Dy2+ω2
x2+V(x,y), (x,y) ∈ R2,
with the magnetic field B large enough and the constant ω ≠ 0 is fixed and proportional to the strength of the electric field. Under certain assumptions on the potential V, we prove the existence of resonances near Landau levels as B → ∞. Moreover, we show that the width of resonances is of size O(B-∞).

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification:
Primary 35L05. Secondary 46E35, 35J25, 22E30.
Key words:
Dunkl operators, homogeneous Littlewood-Paley
decomposition, homogeneous Dunkl-Besov space, paraproduct operator,
differential-difference equations.
In this paper we define the homogeneous Besov spaces associated with the Dunkl operators on Rd, and we give a complete analysis on these spaces and same applications.
ON SELF-AVOIDING WALKS ON CERTAIN GRIDS
AND THE CONNECTIVE CONSTANT

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification:
Primary: 05C81. Secondary: 60G50.
Key words:
Self-avoiding walks.
We consider self-avoiding walks on the square grid graph. More precisely
we investigate the number of walks of a fixed length on Z×{−1,0,1}. Using combinatorial arguments we derive the related generating function. We present the asymptotic estimates of the number of walks in consideration, as well as important connective constants.

Key words:
Consecutive-k-out-of-n system, Likelihood estimation, Markov chains.
This paper is concerned with consecutive-k-out-of-n system in which all the components have the same q lifetime probability, so, it's possible to estimate q from a sample by using the maximum likelihood principle. In the reliability formula of the consecutive-k-out-of-n system appears the term qk. The goal in this work is to propose a direct estimation of qk to avoid the accumulated errors owed to the power. More precisely, we establish a new method based on the Markov chains to calculate and estimate the reliability of the system.
