  • In this study, We analyzed the mathematical thinking of sixth grade students showed mathematics lessons through the application of Lakatos' methodology and search for the role of their teachers in this lessons. We supposed to find the solution to the way of teaching-learning regarding the Lakatos' methodology for the elementary school level. According to the stages of presenting a problem situation, suggesting an initial conjecture, examining the conjecture, and improving the conjecture, we had lessons 8 times that are applied to Lakato's methodology. We gathered and analyzed data from lessons and interviews recording videotapes, documents for this study. The participants showed a lot of mathematical thinking. They understood the problem situation with the skill of fundamental thinking and suggested the initial conjecture by the skill of developmental thinking and they found a counter-example to be able to rebut the initial conjecture by critical thinking. Correcting the conjecture not to have counter-example, they drew developmental thinking and made their thinking generalize.

  • The purpose of this paper is to provide the affirmative solution of the following conjecture due to Davis and Geramita. Conjecture; Let A=R[T] be a polynomial ring in one variable, where R is a regular local ring of dimension d. Then maximal ideals in A are complete intersection. Geramita has proved that the conjecture is true when R is a regular local ring of dimension 2. Whatwadekar has rpoved that conjecture is true when R is a formal power series ring over a field and also when R is a localization of an affine algebra over an infinite perfect field. Nashier also proved that conjecture is true when R is a local ring of D[ $X_{1}$,.., $X_{d-1}$] at the maximal ideal (.pi., $X_{1}$,.., $X_{d-1}$) where (D,(.pi.)) is a discrete valuation ring with infinite residue field. The methods to establish our results are following from Nashier's method. We divide this paper into three sections. In section 1 we state Theorems without proofs which are used in section 2 and 3. In section 2 we prove some lemmas and propositions which are used in proving our results. In section 3 we prove our main theorem.eorem.rem.

ON WIELANDT-MIRSKY'S CONJECTURE FOR MATRIX POLYNOMIALS

  • In matrix analysis, the Wielandt-Mirsky conjecture states that $$dist({\sigma}(A),{\sigma}(B)){\leq}{\parallel}A-B{\parallel}$$ for any normal matrices $A,B{\in}{\mathbb{C}}^{n{\times}n}$ and any operator norm ${\parallel}{\cdot}{\parallel}$ on $C^{n{\times}n}$. Here dist(${\sigma}(A),{\sigma}(B)$) denotes the optimal matching distance between the spectra of the matrices A and B. It was proved by A. J. Holbrook (1992) that this conjecture is false in general. However it is true for the Frobenius distance and the Frobenius norm (the Hoffman-Wielandt inequality). The main aim of this paper is to study the Hoffman-Wielandt inequality and some weaker versions of the Wielandt-Mirsky conjecture for matrix polynomials.

  • The following statement is known as the generalized Hilbert-Smith conjecture : If G is a compact group and acts effectively on a manifold, then G is a Lie group. In this paper we prove that the generalized Hilbert-Smith conjecture is equivalent to the following : A known, but has never been published before.

  • The mirror conjecture means originally the deep relation between complex and symplectic geometry in Calabi-Yau manifolds. Recently, this conjecture is posed beyond Calabi-Yau, and even to, open manifolds (e.g. $A_{n}$ singularities and its resolution) is discussed. While if we treat open manifolds, we can't avoid the boundary (in our case, CR manifolds). Therefore we pose the more precise conjecture (mirror symmetry with boundaries). Namely, in mirror symmetry, for boundaries, what kind of structure should correspond\ulcorner For this problem, the $A_{n}$ case is studied.

  • We disprove a conjecture of Bombieri regarding univalent functions in the unit disk in some previously unknown cases. The key step in the argument is showing that the global minimum of the real function (n sin x - sin(nx))/(m sin x - sin(mx)) is attained at x = 0 for integers m > $n{\geq}2$ when m is odd and n is even, m is sufficiently big and $0.5{\leq}n/m{\leq}0.8194$.

  • Functoriality conjecture is one of the central and influential subjects of the present day mathematics. Functoriality is the profound lifting problem formulated by Robert Langlands in the late 1960s in order to establish nonabelian class field theory. In this expository article, I describe the Langlands-Shahidi method, the local and global Langlands conjectures and the converse theorems which are powerful tools for the establishment of functoriality of some important cases, and survey the interesting results related to functoriality conjecture.
