✦ Synopsis

We generalize the Proximity Force Theorem of J. Btocki et al. (Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) 105 (1977), 427) (valid for gently curued surfaces) to include surfaces that may have large curvatures (but are still characterized by small angles between relevant portions of the interacting surfaces). A general proof is given for the approximate continuity of the proximity force when a gap configuration goes over into a crevice after contact. Simple and somewhat improved formulae are given for the universal proximity potential functions @ and 6 for gaps and crevices.

## Abstract In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic generalization of Turán's theorem. We prove that if all the non‐trivial eigenvalues of a __d__‐regular graph __G__ on __n__ vertices are sufficiently small, then the largest __K__~__t__~‐free subgraph of __G__ contains approximately (__t__ − 2)/(__

Goemans, M.X., A generalization of Petersen's theorem, Discrete Mathematics 115 (1993) 277-282. Petersen's theorem asserts that any cubic graph with at most 2 cut edges has a perfect matching. We generalize this classical result by showing that any cubic graph G = (V, E) with at most 1 cut edge has
