On the Spectrum of Degenerate Operator Equations

Here and A is a model operator acting in . Criterial conditions on the parameter for the eigenfunctions of the operator to form a complete and minimal system as well as a Riesz basis in the Hilbert space H are given.

Some Generalizations of the Notion of Length

Two numerical characteristics of a nonrectifiable arc generalizing the notion of length are introduced. Geometrically, this notion can naturally be generalized as the least upper bound of the sums , where are the lengths of segments of a polygonal line inscribed in the curve and is a given function. On the other hand, the length of is the norm of the functional in the space ; its norms in other spaces can be considered as analytical generalizations of length. In this paper, we establish conditions under which the generalized geometric rectifiability of a curve implies its generalized analytic rectifiability.     

Representability of Analytic Functions in Terms of Their Boundary Values

Cotangent Bundle over Projective Space and the Manifold of Nondegenerate Null-Pairs

A nondegenerate null-pair of the real projective space consists of a point and of a hyperplane nonincident to this point. The manifold of all nondegenerate null-pairs carries a natural Kählerian structure of hyperbolic type and of constant nonzero holomorphic sectional curvature. In particular, is a symplectic manifold. We prove that is endowed with the structure of a fiber bundle over the projective space , whose typical fiber is an affine space. The vector space associated to a fiber of the bundle is naturally isomorphic to the cotangent space to . We also construct a global section of this bundle; this allows us to construct a diffeomorphism between the manifold of nondegenerate null-pairs and the cotangent bundle over the projective space. The main statement of the paper asserts that the explicit diffeomorphism is a symplectomorphism of the natural symplectic structure on to the canonical symplectic structure on .     

Trajectory and Global Attractors of Three-Dimensional Navier--Stokes Systems

We construct the trajectory attractor of a three-dimensional Navier--Stokes system with exciting force . The set consists of a class of solutions to this system which are bounded in , defined on the positive semi-infinite interval of the time axis, and can be extended to the entire time axis so that they still remain bounded-in- solutions of the Navier--Stokes system. In this case any family of bounded-in- solutions of this system comes arbitrary close to the trajectory attractor . We prove that the solutions are continuous in t if they are treated in the space of functions ranging in . The restriction of the trajectory attractor to , , is called the global attractor of the Navier--Stokes system. We prove that the global attractor thus defined possesses properties typical of well-known global attractors of evolution equations. We also prove that as the trajectory attractors and the global attractors of the -order Galerkin approximations of the Navier--Stokes system converge to the trajectory and global attractors and , respectively. Similar problems are studied for the cases of an exciting force of the form depending on time and of an external force rapidly oscillating with respect to the spatial variables or with respect to time .     

On the Similarity of Some Differential Operators to Self-Adjoint Ones

The paper is devoted to the study of the similarity to self-adjoint operators of operators of the form , in the space with weight . As is well known, the answer to this problem in the case is positive; it was obtained by using delicate methods of the theory of Hilbert spaces with indefinite metric. The use of a general similarity criterion in combination with methods of perturbation theory for differential operators allows us to generalize this result to a much wider class of weight functions .

On the Growth of Entire Functions of Exponential Type near a Straight Line

Let be a sequence of complex numbers such that as . For close to the imaginary axis, upper bounds of the indicator of a nonzero entire function of exponential type with minimal growth vanishing on is obtained. These bounds give sufficient conditions for the system of exponents to be incomplete in an unbounded domain in .     

On the Continuity of the Generalized Nemytskii Operator on Spaces of Differentiable Functions

We obtain sufficient conditions for the continuity of the general nonlinear superposition operator (generalized Nemytskii operator) acting from the space of differentiable functions on a bounded domain to the Lebesgue space . The values of operators on a function are locally determined by the values of both the function itself and all of its partial derivatives up to order inclusive. In certain particular cases, the sufficient conditions obtained are proved to be necessary as well. The results are illustrated by several examples, and an application to the theory of Sobolev spaces is also given.     

Uniform Convergence of Trigonometric Series with Rarely Changing Coefficients

We consider the series and whose coefficients satisfy the condition for , where the sequence can be expressed as the union of a finite number of lacunary sequences. The following results are obtained. If as , then the series is uniformly convergent. If for all , then the sequence of partial sums of this series is uniformly bounded. If the series is convergent for and as , then this series is uniformly convergent. If the sequence of partial sums of the series for is bounded and for all , then the sequence of partial sums of this series is uniformly bounded. In these assertions, conditions on the rates of decrease of the coefficients of the series are also necessary if the sequence is lacunary. In the general case, they are not necessary.

On a Characterization of Spaces of Differentiable Functions

In this paper, we generalize Bernstein's theorem characterizing the space by means of local approximations. The closed interval is partitioned into disjoint half-intervals on which best approximation polynomials of degree divided by the lengths of these half-intervals taken to the power are considered. The existence of the limits of these ratios as the lengths of the half-intervals tend to zero is a criterion for the existence of the th derivative of a function. We prove the theorem in a stronger form and extend it to the spaces .

Exponential Stability of Semigroups Related to Operator Models in Mechanics

In this paper, we consider equations of the form , where is a function with values in the Hilbert space , the operator B is symmetric, and the operator A is uniformly positive and self-adjoint in . The linear operator generating the C ₀-semigroup in the energy space is associated with this equation. We prove that this semigroup is exponentially stable if the operator B is uniformly positive and the operator A dominates B in the sense of quadratic forms.     

Joint Approximations of Distributions in Banach Spaces

For a given homogeneous elliptic partial differential operator with constant complex coefficients, two Banach spaces and of distributions in , and compact sets and in , we study joint approximations in the norms of the spaces and (the spaces of Whitney jet-distributions) by the solutions of the equation in neighborhoods of the set . We obtain a localization theorem, which, under certain conditions, allows one to reduce the above-cited approximation problem to the corresponding separate problems in each of the spaces.     

Characterization of Normal Traces on Von Neumann Algebras by Inequalities for the Modulus

It is proved that if a normal semifinite weight on a von Neumann algebra satisfies the inequality for any selfadjoint operators in , then this weight is a trace. Several similar characterizations of traces among the normal semifinite weights are proved. In particular, Gardner's result on the characterization of traces by the inequality is refined and reinforced.     

A Criterion for Contiguity of Quasiconcave Functions

Quasiconcave functions and belong to the same scale if there exist quasiconcave functions and and numbers such that and . We establish a criterion for such functions to belong to the same scale up to equivalence. This criterion is obtained in terms of nodes of the corresponding linear-constant step-functions. It turns out that nodes must be equivalent to sequences.
