Shen Qi sprinted back to his dormitory from the school team's track and field training ground and jotted down his newly formed mathematical inspiration on a piece of scrap paper.
Afterwards, the slightly messy formulas on the draft paper were transformed into a rigorous academic paper format and edited in LaTeX.
The paper, "A Class of Bounded Analytic Strong Singular Integral Operator Along Homogeneous Curves," is about 75% complete. Shen Qi has written the English manuscript and plans to submit it to the top-ranked mathematics journal in China, the Journal of Mathematics Sinica.
With three papers published in domestic core journals, one paper in a general journal, and one SCI paper as a foundation, Shen Qi believes he is qualified to submit a paper to the English edition of the Series B of the * Journal of Mathematics *.
My only worry is that my paper, "Analysis of Generalized Nonlinear Complementary Problems with Linear Inequality Constraints," submitted to Yenching University's * Mathematical Herald *, is still nowhere in sight.
The editor sent over the third round of reviewers' comments, and Shen Qi was incredibly annoyed. When would these reviewers ever stop?
While inspiration still lingered, Shen Qi temporarily set aside Professor Lu's project and focused his efforts on writing the author feedback for "Analysis of Generalized Nonlinear Complementary Problems with Linear Inequality Constraints".
This is the third set of feedback from the authors.
The first version of the feedback was written by Shen Qi himself, and the second version was completed by Ou Ye.
Based on the first and second editions, Shen Qi completed the third edition that evening, taking into account the authors' feedback, and sent it to the editors' email address of the * Mathematical Herald *.
The following morning, at the Big Mathematics Department, in the editorial office of the "Mathematical Herald".
Editor-in-Chief Nian Ruiming has been riding high lately, giving several presentations at domestic mathematics conferences and publishing his paper on modern groups in JAMS.
"Very valuable." --- This is JAMS's comment on Nian Ruiming's paper. The words are few, but they highly affirm Nian Ruiming's achievements in this research direction.
JAMS stands for Journal of the American Mathematical Society, one of the four major international mathematics journals.
In the past decade, Chinese mathematicians have published a total of ten papers in JAMS, averaging one per year.
China's historical record in JAMS is 18 papers, all published since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Ordinary mathematicians publish SCI papers, while advanced mathematicians publish papers in the four major international mathematics journals, which are the most prestigious platforms for showcasing mathematical achievements.
With this paper published in JAMS, Nian Ruiming has completed his academic tasks for this year, even though the first quarter of the year is not yet over.
Nian Ruiming has won the Chern Prize in Mathematics and was nominated for the Ramanujan Prize, but he has no hope of Fields Medal. He is over forty years old and is forty-three this year.
Fortunately, there's still hope for him to win the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize, which are usually awarded to renowned Mathematics Community. Nian Ruiming is already somewhat well-known in the international Mathematics Community, and he still has decades to build up his reputation.
With an admiring look in her eyes, editor Xu Weini reported to Nian Ruiming, "Editor-in-Chief Nian, I just sent you an internal email. There's a paper where the reviewers and authors have been locked in a fierce battle for three rounds, starting before the New Year and continuing now, with neither side willing to back down."
"Then proceed according to the procedure and add a reviewer," Nian Ruiming said calmly, as if it were a trivial matter. Nian Ruiming is the editor-in-chief of the Mathematical Herald and a member of the Academic Committee of the School of Mathematics. He has several National Natural Science Foundation projects under his supervision, and his attention is focused on these major projects.
"Okay." Xu Weini nodded. Shouldn't she be more careful about reporting such a trivial matter to someone as important as Editor-in-Chief Nian?
"Where are the authors of the paper from?" Nian Ruiming suddenly asked.
"A first-year student in the Mathematics Department at Yenching University," Xu Weini replied.
"Oh, really?" Nian Ruiming became interested. He opened Outlook on his computer and checked the email that Xu Weini had just sent him.
Nian Ruiming has over a hundred unread emails in his Outlook. He's been too busy lately, giving presentations and attending math conferences all over the country. He rarely comes back to the editorial office, and his own computer has been turned on only a few times.
"Shen Qi, so it was him." Nian Ruiming glanced at the email and attachments and made a preliminary judgment that his junior colleague Shen Qi had gotten into a fight with Liu, an expert from the Chinese Mathematical Society. The author and the reviewer each wrote three versions of comments, neither willing to give in, and they were like oil and water.
"Xiao Xu, you go ahead and get busy. I'll take a closer look at Shen Qi's paper and the reviewers' comments."
Despite his busy schedule, Editor-in-Chief Nian reviewed Shen Qi's paper and, after considering the three versions of comments from both sides, shook his head and smiled.
The core logic of Shen Qi's paper, "Analysis of Generalized Nonlinear Complementary Problems with Linear Inequality Constraints," is to use the generalized Jacobian matrix of a semi-smooth equation system to solve generalized nonlinear complementary problems with linear inequality constraints.
There is no problem with that.
Reviewer Liu also had no questions. He repeatedly emphasized that the superlinear convergence of Newton's method is more suitable for solving generalized nonlinear complementary problems with linear inequality constraints.
"What's there to argue about?" Editor-in-Chief Nian was truly exasperated with Shen Qi and Expert Liu. Were you two sworn enemies?
This is similar to the question: what mode of transportation can I take from the south to the capital?
Shen Qi believes that flying to the capital is quick and convenient.
Expert Liu, however, insisted on taking the high-speed rail.
The two argued about this for months, both quite stubborn.
In reality, both of them had valid points, but neither was convinced by the other's reasoning.
"Shen Qi hasn't even finished his first year of university, yet he can write a paper of this caliber, which is commendable. Regardless of whether he's a student at Yenching University or not, we shouldn't discourage the author's enthusiasm, because the author's logical reasoning is sound."
Nian Ruiming already had a solution in mind. He said to Xu Weini, "Xiao Xu, regarding Shen Qi's paper, we don't need to add any new reviewers. Expert Liu's review comments are completely reasonable."
"Shen Qi's logic is sound, and Liu's review comments are entirely reasonable, so what should we do, Editor-in-Chief?" Xu Weini was at a loss.
"Xiao Xu, arrange for Shen Qi to meet you, maybe for coffee or something. Don't do it as a senior student from the Department of Mathematics, but in a businesslike manner, as the editor of the * Mathematical Herald *, to discuss academic issues in the manuscript with the paper's author Shen Qi," Nian Ruiming said.
"I graduated with a degree in Probability Statistics, and I don't have a deep understanding of Shen Qi's research area. What can I talk to him about?"
"Just ask him out. I don't think Shen Qi will refuse the editor's invitation; it's in accordance with procedure."
"So... I've made the appointment?"
"Let's make an appointment. Tell me the time and place after you've agreed."
In the afternoon, at the Track and Field team's training ground.
Shen Qi came here with great interest, hoping to find inspiration.
"10,000 meters, on your marks, go!" Teacher Wu gave the command.
Shen Qi started running alone, while his teammates Li Taimeng and You Tao watched.
They stood there watching for more than half an hour.
Teacher Wu stopped the clock. "Shen Qi ran the 10,000 meters in 32 minutes and 49 seconds, very good!"
"Shen Qi is amazing! He ran the 10,000 meters in under 33 minutes!" You Tao's main event is the 10,000-meter race, and his personal best is 33 minutes and 2 seconds.
"I can't run 5000 meters as fast as him." Li Taimeng's main event is the 5000 meters. In yesterday's 5000-meter test, Shen Qi became the team's first 5000-meter runner with a time of 15 minutes and 55 seconds.
After running a 10,000-meter race, Shen Qi was exhausted and lay down on the track, panting heavily.
Panting, Shen Qi suddenly jumped up. "Haha! Here it comes again!"
Teacher Wu quickly stepped in front of Shen Qi: "Don't go yet, let me say a few words before you leave!"
I recommend a truly excellent urban novel, <Golden Fishing Village>.
