Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Basic Algebra = 代数学入門

In this paper I present a history of tractability of continuous problems, which has its beginning in the successful numerical tests for highdimensional integration of finance problems. Tractability results will be illustrated for two multivariate problems, integration and linear tensor products problems, in the worst case setting. My talk at FoCM'08 in Hong Kong and this paper are based on the book Tractability of Multivariate Problems , written jointly with Erich Novak. The first volume of our book has been recently published by the European Mathematical Society. Introduction Many people have recently become interested in studying the tractability of continuous problems. This area of research addresses the computational complexity of multivariate problems defined on spaces of functions of d variables, with d that can be in the hundreds or thousands; in fact, d can even be arbitrarily large. Such problems occur in numerous applications including physics, chemistry, finance, economics, and the computational sciences. As with all problems arising in information-based complexity, we want to solve multivariate problems to within ∈, using algorithms that use finitely many functions values or values of some linear functionals. Let n (∈, d ) be the minimal number of function values or linear functionals that is needed to compute the solution of the d -variate problem to within ∈. For many multivariate problems defined over standard spaces of functions n (∈, d ) is exponentially large in d .

Tractability of Multivariate Problems

We refine Lagrange’s four-square theorem in new ways by imposing some restrictions involving powers of two (including 1). For example, we show that each n = 1, 2, 3,… can be written as x2 + y2 + z2...

Let {fn} be the Franel numbers given by fn =∑k=0n( nk )3, and let p > 5 be a prime. In this paper, we mainly determine ∑k=0p−1( 2k k ) fk mk (modp) for m = 5,−16, 16, 32,−49, 50, 96.

On the Herzog–Schönheim conjecture for uniform covers of groups

Let G be any additive abelian group with cyclic torsion subgroup, and let A, B and C be finite subsets of G with cardinality n>0. We show that there is a numbering {a_i}_{i=1}^n of the elements of A, a numbering {b_i}_{i=1}^n of the elements of B and a numbering {c_i}_{i=1}^n of the elements of C, such that all the sums a_i+b_i+c_i (i=1,...,n) are distinct. Consequently, each subcube of the Latin cube formed by the Cayley addition table of Z/NZ contains a Latin transversal. This additive theorem can be further extended via restricted sumsets in a field.

Let E be a real quadratic field with discriminant d ≢ 0 (mod p) where p is an odd prime. For p = ±1 we determine Π o<c<d , (d c)=ρ (p-1 (pc/dp) modulo p 2 in terms of a Lucas sequence, the fundamental unit and the class number of E.
