On the parameter dependence of the real cubic surfaces in arnold’s form

We consider the topological classification of cubic surfaces which are obtained as intersection of the sphere with the algebraic variety defined by the zeroes of a homogeneous cubic polynomial in Arnold’s normal form. This classification is based on the parameters appearing in this normal form, obtaining a correspondence between the parameters of the surface and its topological type. General classifications of cubic surfaces are made in the projective space ℙ³(ℝ), but our method, based on a very simple combinatorial procedure is easier to implement in . We split the cubic surfaces parameter space into ten equivalence classes.     

About entire functions with specialL 2-properties on one-dimensional subspaces of ℂ n

In this paper we consider special elements of the Fock space #x2131; _n . That is the space of entire functionsf:ℂ: ⁿ →ℂ, such that the followingL ²- condition is satisfied: . Here we show that there exists an entire functiong:ℂ ⁿ →ℂ such that for every one-dimensional subspace Π⊂ℂ ⁿ and for all 0<∈<2 we have , but in the limit case ∈=0 we have . This result is analogue to a result from [1]. There holomorphic functions on the unit-ball are investigated. Furthermore the proof — as the one in [1] — uses a theorem from [2]. Therefore we give another application of the results from [2] — namely for spaces of entire functions.

The Beckman-Quarles theorem for mappings from ℝ2 to $${\mathbb{F}}^2 $$ , where F is a subfield of a commutative field extending ℝ, where F is a subfield of a commutative field extending ℝ

Let F be a subfield of a commutative field extending ℝ. Let We say thatf : preserves distanced ≥ 0 if for eachx,y ∈ ℝ ∣x- y∣= d implies ϕ₂(f(x),f(y)) = d² . We prove that each unit-distance preserving mappingf : has a formI o (ρ,ρ), where is a field homomorphism and is an affine mapping with orthogonal linear part.     

Stability of the topological pressure for piecewise monotonic maps underC 1-perturbations

Assume thatX is a finite union of closed intervals and consider aC ¹-mapX→ℝ for which {c∈X: T′c=0} is finite. Set . Fix ann ∈ ℕ. For ε>0, theC ¹-map is called an ε-perturbation ofT if is a piecewise monotonic map with at mostn intervals of monotonicity and is ε-close toT in theC ¹-topology. The influence of small perturbations ofT on the dynamical system (R(T),T) is investigated. Under a certain condition on the continuous functionf:X → ℝ, the topological pressure is lower semi-continuous. Furthermore, the topological pressure is upper semi-continuous for every continuous functionf:X → ℝ. If (R(T),T) has positive topological entropy and a unique measure μ of maximal entropy, then every sufficiently small perturbation ofT has a unique measure of maximal entropy, and the map is continuous atT in the weak star-topology.     

Défaut d’estimation a priori pour un problème de dirichlet

Résumé  Dans un célèbre papier ([3]), B. GIDAS et J.SPRUCK ont utilisé-sous des hypothèses adéquates- la technique du “blow up” pour montrer que les solutionsu ∈C ⁰ ∩C ¹ (Ω) du problème admettent une estimation a priori dansC ⁰ . Dans ce travail, on montre que, si les solutionsu sont juste supposéesC ⁰ , une telle estimation a priori n’existe plus. In a famous paper ([3]), B. GIDAS and J. SPRUCK used a “blow-up” argument to show that, under appropriate assumptions, all the solutionsu ∈C ⁰ ∩C ¹ (Ω) of the problem admit an a priori estimate inC ⁰ . In this work, we show that, if one supposes the solutions are only inC ⁰ , such an a priori estimate does not hold.

Compact Hankel operators with conjugate analytic symbols

In 1986 S. Axler [3] proved that forf∈L _a ² the Hankel operator is compact if and only iff is in the little Bloch space {itB}{in0}. In this note we show that the same is true for , 1<p<∞. Moreover we prove that is ⋆-compact if and only if as |z|→1⁻.     

Blaschke-decomposable convex bodies

For a given centred convex bodyK of ℝ,n≥3, let be the class of all convex bodies with the same projection body asK. The question whetherK can be expressed as a Blaschke average of two non-homothetic bodies from is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions onK to be Blaschke decomposable in are given. The paper provides also a characterization of the bodiesK such that the Blaschke indecomposable bodies in are dense in itself.     

Asymptotic expansion of the log-likelihood function based on stopping times defined on a Markov process

Consider the parameter space Θ which is an open subset of ℝ ^k ,k≧1, and for each θ∈Θ, let the r.v.′sY _n ,n=0, 1, ... be defined on the probability space (X,A,P _θ) and take values in a Borel setS of a Euclidean space. It is assumed that the process {Y _n },n≧0, is Markovian satisfying certain suitable regularity conditions. For eachn≧1, let υ _n be a stopping time defined on this process and have some desirable properties. For 0 < τ _n → ∞ asn→∞, set h _n →h ∈R ^k , and consider the log-likelihood function of the probability measure with respect to the probability measure . Here is the restriction ofP _θ to the σ-field induced by the r.v.′sY ₀,Y ₁, ..., . The main purpose of this paper is to obtain an asymptotic expansion of in the probability sense.

Pseudo algebraically closed fields over rings

We prove that for almost allσ ∈G ℚ the field has the following property: For each absolutely irreducible affine varietyV of dimensionr and each dominating separable rational mapϕ:V→ there exists a point a ∈ such thatϕ(a) ∈ ℤ^r. We then say that is PAC over ℤ. This is a stronger property then being PAC. Indeed we show that beside the fields other fields which are algebraic over ℤ and are known in the literature to be PAC are not PAC over ℤ.

Generalized linear dynamical systems and the classification problem

We consider the classification of generalized linear controllable systems over the field = ℂ or = ℝ under transformations defined by the action of the group GL _n ( ) × GL _n ( ). We review the recent results of Cobb, Helmke, Shayman, Zhou, Hinrichsen, O’Halloran, and others on the geometric structure of the set of orbits C _n,m ( ) of generalized linear controllable systems, which in particular prove smoothness, compactness, and projectivity of C _n,m ( ) and evaluate its dimension. We show that C _n,m ( ) is a natural compactification of the set of orbits of ordinary linear controllable systems ∑ _n,m ( ) and the boundary C _n,m ( ) − ∑ _n,m ( ) consists of the orbits of singular generalized systems. __________ Translated from Nelineinaya Dinamika i Upravlenie, No. 4, pp. 153–166, 2004.     

The theory of multi-dimensional polynomial approximation

We consider the problem of polynomial approximation to a real valued functionf defined on a compact set . An approximation theorem is proven in terms of the newly defined modulus of approximation. It is shown to imply a multidimensional Jackson type theorem which is stronger than previously known results even for the interval [−1, 1]. A strong multidimensional Bernstein type inverse theorem is also proven. We allow quite general approximation quasi-norms including for 0<q≤∞. We have found that the space of polynomials ℙ on a compact setX induces a semimetric which encapsulates the local structure of ℙ. Any semimetric ρ equivalent to suffices for the rough theory presented here. Many examples of sets and their metrics are presented.     

An example of pointwise non-convergence of iterated conditional expectation operators

Given ∈, we construct a sequence , … of Borel sub-sigma-algebras on the unit interval with the following property. Suppose the identity functionf(x)=x is transformed by successive conditioning on , then , then , Then the lim sup, with respect ton, will exceed (pointwise almost-everywhere) 1−∈ and its lim inf will be less than ∈. The sequence of functions also will fail to converge in the . This contrasts with the long-open conjecture that if all the come from a finite set of sigma-algebras, then the resulting sequence of functions must converge in . J. L.

Stability of properly efficient points and isolated minimizers of constrained vector optimization problems

In this paper the constrained vector optimization problem mic _C f(x), g(x) ∃ − K, is considered, where and are locally Lipschitz functions and and are closed convex cones. Several solution concepts are recalled, among them the concept of a properly efficient point (p-minimizer) and an isolated minimizer (i-minimizer). On the base of certain first-order optimalitty conditions it is shown that there is a close relation between the solutions of the constrained problem and some unconstrained problem. This consideration allows to “double” the solution concepts of the given constrained problem, calling sense II optimality concepts for the constrained problem the respective solutions of the related unconstrained problem, retaining the name of sense I concepts for the originally defined optimality solutions. The paper investigates the stability properties of thep-minimizers andi-minimizers. It is shown, that thep-minimizers are stable under perturbations of the cones, while thei-minimizers are stable under perturbations both of the cones and the functions in the data set. Further, it is shown, that sense I concepts are stable under perturbations of the objective data, while sense II concepts are stable under perturbations both of the objective and the constraints. Finally, the so called structural stability is discused.     

Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimate in the first order autoregressive process

Summary In this paper we obtain an asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) based onT observations from the first order Gaussian process up to the term of orderT ⁻¹. The expansion is used to compare with a generalized estimate including the least square estimate (LSE) , based on the asymptotic probabilities around the true value of the estimates up to the terms of orderT ⁻¹. It is shown that (or the modified MLE ) is better than (or the modified estimate ). Further, we note that does not attain the bound for third order asymptotic median unbiased estimates.
