An improved bound for the de Bruijn–Newman constant

The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the conjecture that the de Bruijn–Newman constant satisfies 0. However, so far all the bounds that have been proved for go in the other direction, and provide support for the conjecture of Newman that 0. This paper shows how to improve previous lower bounds and prove that –2.710^–9<. This can be done using a pair of zeros of the Riemann zeta function near zero number 10²⁰ that are unusually close together. The new bound provides yet more evidence that the Riemann hypothesis, if true, is just barely true.     

Projections on Lp-spaces of polyanalytic functions

The fundamental result: for an arbitrary bounded, simply connected domain in , the subspace L_n,m ^p() of the space L^p(, ) ( is the plane Lebesgue measure, p 1), consisting of the (m, n)-analytic functions in , is complemented in LP(, ) (a function f is said to be (m, n)-analytic if (^m+n/¯Z^mZⁿ)f=0 in ). Consequently, by virtue of a theorem of J. Lindenstrauss and A. Pelczyski, the space L_n,m ^P() is linearly homeomorphic to lP. In particular, for m=n=1 we obtain that the space of all harmonic L^P-functions in is complemented in L^P(, ). This result has been known earlier only for smooth domains.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Bruck-Ryser abstract theorem and symmetric designs

In [3] U. Ott introduced a Bruck-Ryser abstract theorem concerning lattices of an R-module. As one of the applications of this theorem, he obtained a new proof of the Bruck-Ryser theorem for finite projective planes and studied p-curves in a projective plane. In this paper, we apply the Bruck-Ryser abstract theorem in order to give a new proof of the Bruck-Ryser-Chowla theorem for symmetric (v, k, )-design with (v, k, )=1, and to study p-curves in arbitrary symmetric designs.     

A New Bound for the Fejér-Jackson Sum

We establish a new positive functional estimate for the Fejér-Jackson sum Sn() = k=1n k-1 sin k. This result enables us to give a simple proof of a result of Askey and Steinig on a monotonic sine sum associated with the sum Sn().     

Quasi-additive functions

Summary Let 0 < 1 and letX, Y be real normed spaces. In this paper we consider the following functional inequality:f(x + y) – f(x) – f(y) min{f(x + y), f(x) + f(y)} forx, y R, wheref: X Y. Mainly continuous solutions are investigated. In the case whereY = R some necessary and some sufficient conditions for this inequality are given.Let 0 <1. The following functional inequality has been considered in [5]:f(x + y) – f(x) – f(y) min{f(x + y), f(x) + f(y)} forx, y R, wheref: R R. It appeared that the solutions of this inequality have properties very similar to those of additive functions (cf. [1], [2], [3]). The inequality under consideration seems to be interesting also because of its physical interpretation (cf. [5]). In this paper we shall consider this inequality in a more general case, wheref is defined on a real normed space and takes its values in another real normed space.The first part of the paper concerns the general case; in the second part we assume that the range off is inR.     

On uniform approximations of almost periodic functions by entire functions of finite degree

We give a new proof of the well-known Bernshtein statement that, among entire functions of degree which realize the best uniform approximation (of degree ) of a periodic function on (–,), there is a trigonometric polynomial of degree . We prove an analog of the mentioned Bernshtein statement and the Jackson theorem for uniform almost periodic functions with arbitrary spectrum.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 47, No. 9, pp. 1274–1279, September, 1995.     

On strong solutions of the Stokes equations in exterior domains

We construct strong solutionsu, p/of the general nonhomogeneous Stokes equations -u + p=f inG, ·u=g inG, u= on in an exterior domainG ⁿ (n3) with boundary of class C². Our approach uses a localization technique: With the help of suitable cut-off functions and the solution of the divergence equation ·=g inG, = 0 on , the exterior domain problem is reduced to the entire space problem and an interior problem.

Das Zeitverhalten von einfachen offenen exponentiellen Warteschlangensystemen mit unendlich vielen Warteplätzen

Zusammenfassung Die zeitabhängige (instationäre) Lösung für die Zustandswahrscheinlichkeiten und für einige Kenngrößen von Warteschlangensystemen mit einer Bedienungsstation, unendlich vielen Warteplätzen, exponentiellem Zu- und Abgang und beliebigem Anfangszustand wird bestimmt. Die ZustandswahrscheinlichkeitenP _v (), d. h. die Wahrscheinlichkeiten für Einheiten im System zur Zeit, ergeben sich als Integrale, in denen modifizierteSessel-Funktionen 1. Art auftreten. Der ErwartungswertL () und die VarianzV() der Zahl von Einheiten im System lassen sich als Integrale darstellen, in denen nur die ZustandswahrscheinlichkeitP ₀() auftritt.Für<1 und erreichen die Systeme einen stationären Zustand (für den die Lösung bekannt ist); für1 und giltP _v ()0 für alle, L(),V().Ist>1, dann wachsenL() undV() für große linear mit; ihre Asymptoten werden berechnet. Ist=1, dann wachsenL() und die Standardabweichung() für große mit ; einfache Näherungsformeln werden gefunden.

Summary The time dependent solution is determined for the state probabilities and for some characteristic values of queuing systems with a single server, an infinite number of waiting places, exponentially distributed inter-arrival and service times, and any initial state. The state probabilitiesP _v (), i.e. the probabilities for units in the system at time, are given in the form of integrals in which modifiedBessel functions of the first kind occur. Integrating the state probalityP ₀() over leads to the meanL() and the varianceV() of the number of units in the system.For<1 and the systems tend to a steady state (for which the solution is known); for1 and we haveP _v ()0 for all, L(),V().If>1 asymptotic expansions for large are found givingL() andV() proportional to. If=1 simple approximate formulas for large are obtained givingL() and the standard deviation() proportional to .

Reverse Functional Inequalities and Their Applications to Nonlinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems

We establish some reverse inequalities. We give applications to nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems containing a parameter which have two branches of solutions u (0) and U (>0) of which the first is continuous at the origin and the second increases indefinitely as 0.

Computing The Differential of An Unfolded Contact Diffeomorphism

Consider a bifurcation problem, namely, its bifurcation equation. There is a diffeomorphism linking the actual solution set with an unfolded normal form of the bifurcation equation. The differential D(0) of this diffeomorphism is a valuable information for a numerical analysis of the imperfect bifurcation.The aim of this paper is to construct algorithms for a computation of D(0). Singularity classes containing bifurcation points with codim 3, corank = 1 are considered.     

Niveaumengenräume holomorpher Abbildungen und nullte Bildgarben

In this paper we study spaces of level sets of holomorphic mappings. We give an elementary (i.e. we are using elementary means) proof of a theorem a special case of which is the following statement: Let : XY be a holomorphic mapping of the irreducible normal complex space into the reduced complex space Y, which degenerates nowhere; the last condition means in the present case all -level sets having the same dimension; a -level set is a connected component of a fibre ^–1(Q), Q (X). Then the space Z of -level sets is a quasicomplex space and the natural mapping : XZ which maps each P X onto the -level set to which P belongs is open. If we substitute the assumption degenerating nowhere by the assumption having compact level sets, we get a space Z of level sets, which is a complex space. - The first part of this statement is a generalisation of a theorem of K. Stein, the second part is a special case of a theorem of H. Cartan and a well known theorem of H. Grauert on proper mappings. We will use our theorem in order to give a new proof of Grauert's theorem in a subsequent paper.

On a variant of commutator estimates in spectral theory

Completeness is proved for systems of two or three quantum particles. The proof is based on the following statement on operators in a Hilbert space. If an operator A is bounded with respect to a self-adjoint operator H and Re((H – )f, Af) Bf², then B is smooth with respect to H.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
