On a Theorem by Van Vleck Regarding Sturm Sequences

In 1900 E. B. Van Vleck proposed a very efficient method to compute the Sturm sequence of a polynomial p (x) ∈ Z[x] by triangularizing one of Sylvester’s matrices of p (x) and its derivative p′(x). That method works fine only for the case of complete sequences provided no pivots take place. In 1917, A. J. Pell and R. L. Gordon pointed out this “weakness” in Van Vleck’s theorem, rectified it but did not extend his method, so that it also works in the cases of: (a) complete Sturm sequences with pivot, and (b) incomplete Sturm sequences. Despite its importance, the Pell-Gordon Theorem for polynomials in Q[x] has been totally forgotten and, to our knowledge, it is referenced by us for the first time in the literature. In this paper we go over Van Vleck’s theorem and method, modify slightly the formula of the Pell-Gordon Theorem and present a general triangularization method, called the VanVleck-Pell-Gordon method, that correctly computes in Z[x] polynomial Sturm sequences, both complete and incomplete.

The Filippov-Wazewski relaxation theorem revisited

The converse statement of the Filippov-Wazewski relaxation theorem is proven, more precisely, two differential inclusions have the same closure of their solution sets if and only if the right-hand sides have the same convex hull. The idea of the proof is examining the contingent derivatives to the attainable sets.

An Elementary Core Equivalence Theorem in a Countable Economy

We consider an infinite exchange economy with countably many traders, which can be regarded as a natural extension of finite exchange economies to an infinite one. In our countable economy the core defined in the traditional manner would be empty. To avoid this unwanted situation we have to strengthen the notion of “improves upon”. We will achieve this based on the idea that forming coalitions involve costs.

A Dalang, Morton, Willinger tétel (On the theorem of Dalang-Morton-Willinger)

In the article we shortly discuss the proof of the theorem of Dalang-Morton-Willinger. We show that the proof of the theorem depends on some interesting general properties of the stochastic convergence.
