Some generalizations on the univalence of an integral operator and quasiconformal extensions

By using the method of Loewner chains, we establish some sufficient conditions for the analyticity and univalency of functions defined by an integral operator. Also, we refine the result to a quasiconformal extension criterion with the help of Beckers's method.Comment: 12 pages, submitted to a journal for publication (19 April 2012

Formation of Languages; Equality, Hierarchy and Teachers

A quantitative method is suggested, where meanings of words, and grammatic rules about these, of a vocabulary are represented by real numbers. People meet randomly, and average their vocabularies if they are equal; otherwise they either copy from higher hierarchy or stay idle. Presence of teachers broadcasting the same (but arbitrarily chosen) vocabulary leads the language formations to converge more quickly.Comment: 10 pages, 3 (totally 8) figure
