New exact solutions for power‐law inflation Friedmann models
We consider the spatially flat Friedmann model 
 
 
 
For a ≈ tp, especially, if p ≥ 1, this is called power-law inflation. For the Lagrangian L = Rm with p = − (m − 1) (2m − 1)/(m − 2) power-law inflation is an exact solution, as it is for Einstein gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field ϕ in an exponential potential V(ϕ) = exp (μϕ) and also for the higher-dimensional Einstein equation with a special Kaluza-Klein ansatz. The synchronized coordinates are not adapted to allow a closed-form solution, so we write 
 
 
 
The general solutions reads Q(a) = (ab + C)f/b with free integration constant C (C = 0 gives exact power-law inflation) and m-dependent values b and f: f = −2 + 1/p, b = (4m − 5)/(m − 1). Finally, special solutions for the closed and open Friedmann model are found.

title: Exact Cosmological Solutions of Nonlinear F(R)-Gravity
abstract: We report on the cited papers refs. 1 - 18 from the following points of view: What do we exactly know about solutions when no exact solution (in the sense of "solution in closed form") is available? In which sense do these solutions possess a singularity? In which cases do conformal relations and/or dimensional reductions simplify the deduction? Furthermore, we outline some open questions worth of being studied in future research.

title: On Static Asymptotically Flat Solutions of Fourth Order Gravitational Field Equations
abstract: It is shown that each non-flat regular static asymptotically flat solution of the gravitational field equation following from the Lagrangian 
 
 
 
 
 
 
has in a certain sense positive energy. Further, for a set of parameters including the BACH-EINSTEIN theory 
 
 
 
 
 
 
some results concerning the full nonlinear behaviour of the solutions of the field equation will be given.

title: Inhomogeneous Cosmological Models with Flat Slices Generated from the EINSTEIN‐DE SITTER Universe
abstract: A family of cosmological models in considered which in a certain synchronized system of reference possess flat slices t = const. They are generated from the EINSTEIN-DE SITTER universe by a suitable transformation. Under physically reasonable presumptions these transformed models fulfil certain energy conditions.

Sie werden mittels einer geeigneten Transformation aus dem EINSTEIN-DE SITTER-Universum erzeugt. Diese transformierten Modelle erfullen unter physikalisch sinnvollen Voraussetzungen gewisse Energie bedingungen.

title: 4D wormhole with signature change in the presence of extra dimensions
abstract: A regular vacuum solution in 5D gravity on the principal bundle with the U(1) structural group is proposed as a 4D wormhole. This solution has two null hypersurfaces where an interchange of the sign of some 5D metric components happens. For a 4D observer living on the base of this principal bundle this is a wormhole with two asymptotically flat Lorentzian (Euclidean) spacetimes connected by a Euclidean (Lorentzian) throat. The 4D Lorentzian observer sees these two null hypersurfaces as electric charges.

title: Comparing selfinteracting scalar fields and R + R**3 cosmological models
abstract: We generalize the well-known analogies between m2φ2 and R + R2 theories to include the selfinteraction λφ4-term for the scalar field. It turns out to be the R + R3 Lagrangian which gives an appropiate model for it. Considering a spatially flat Friedman cosmological model, common and different properties of these models are discussed, e. g., by linearizing around a ground state the masses of the resp. spin 0-parts concide. Finally, we prove a general conformal equivalence theorem between a Lagrangian L = L(R), L′L″ ≠ 0, and a minimally coupled scalar field in a general potential.

title: On an algorithm solving two-level programming problems with nonunique lower level solutions
abstract: In the paper, an algorithm is presented for solving two-level programming problems. This algorithm combines a direction finding problem with a regularization of the lower level problem. The upper level objective function is included in the regularzation to yield uniqueness of the follower's solution set. This is possible if the problem functions are convex and the upper level objective function has a positive definite Hessian. The computation of a direction of descent and of the step size is discussed in more detail. Afterwards the convergence proof is given.Last but not least some remarks and examples describing the difficulty of the inclusion of upper-level constraints also depending on the variables of the lower level are added.

title: Models for Constrained Motion and d'Alembert's Principle
abstract: A theorem of Arnol'd and Gallavotti states that by a suitable potential of increasing rigidity a mechanical system with conservative forces can be constrained to a hypersurface of the configuration space and its motion approaches a solution of the reduced Lagrangian equation. In this paper the theorem will be generalized to time- and velocity-dependent forces including time-dependent constraints and proved with the aid of the method of averaging. This technique also allows us to identify the constraint force as the averaged negative gradient of the constraint potential.
