Continuous Functors and Duality

Let be an associative ring with identity, and let be the category of left unitary -modules. A complete characterization of continuous additive co- and contravariant functors is given. Such functors are either representable, or equivalent to a tensor product, or trivial ones. The class of categories that are dual to and, therefore, are equivalent to the category of compact right -modules is constructed by purely algebraic means. A canonical category is singled out in this class. A purely algebraic structure that is equivalent to the topology-algebraic structure of compact right -modules is constructed. Algebraic analogs of connection and complete disconnection are given. Bibliography: 6 titles.

On Asymptotic Behavior of Increments of Sums Along Head Runs

Let be a sequence of independent equidistributed random vectors with . Let , where and denotes the indicator function of the event in brackets. If, for example, are the gains and are the indicators of success in repetitions of a game of chance, then is the maximal gain along head runs (sequences of successes without interruptions) of length j. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the values , , where is the length of the longest head run in . We show that the asymptotics of the values depend significantly on the growth rate of j and that these asymptotics vary from the strong noninvariance (as in the ErdsRéenyi law of large numbers) to the strong invariance (as in the CsöorgRévész strong approximation laws). We also consider the Shepp-type statistics. Bibliography: 17 titles.     

Extremal Decomposition Problems in the Space of Riemann Surfaces

An extension of a theorem on extremal decomposition of a Riemann surface is obtained. The problem of extremal decomposition is extended from the case of a Riemann surface with a prescribed set of distinguished points to the case of the Teichmüller space corresponding to under quasiconformal homeomorphisms f. For the functional of our problem on extremal decomposition of a surface , we consider a function expressing the dependence of the extremal value of on a point . Differentiation formulas for the function are derived. These formulas are different and depend on the genus g of the surface . The case where the function is pluriharmonic is considered.

Properties of the Conformal Radius of a Domain

We consider the function , where is the conformal radius of a simply connected domain D at a point . We study relations between the values of the function at various points of the domain D. In Sec. 1, we establish exact inequalities relating the values of the function in an arbitrary simply connected domain with the position of the conformal center and with the maximal conformal radius of the domain D. The same values are related to the values of at another two points of the domain D. In Sec. 2, similar results are established for convex domains. This work supplements some recent results of Emel'yanov and Kovalev. Bibliography: 9 titles.

Sequence Spaces l p,q in Probabilistic Characterizations of Weak Type Operators

We study operators (not necessarily linear) defined on a quasi-Bahach space X and taking values in the space of real-valued Lebesgue-measurable functions. Factorization theorems for linear and superlinear operators with values in the space are proved with the help of the Lorentz sequence spaces . Sequences of functions belonging to fixed bounded sets in the spaces are characterized for and . The possibility of distinguishing weak type operators (bounded in the space ) from operators factorizable through is obtained in terms of sequences of independent random variables. A criterion under which an operator is symmetrically bounded in order in , is established. Some refinements of the above-mentioned results are obtained for translation shift-invariant sets and operators. Bibliography: 30 titles.

We find the set of values of the first two coefficients for functions from this class. Boundary functions for these sets of values are found. Some previous results of the author are supplemented. Boundary functions for the sets of values for the functionals and in the class are found. Bibliography: 5 titles.

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.     

A Minimal-Automaton-Based Algorithm for the Reliability of Con(d,k, n) Systems

A d-within-consecutive-k-out-of-n system, abbreviated as Con(d, k, n), is a linear system of n components in a line which fails if and only if there exists a set of k consecutive components containing at least d failed ones. So far the fastest algorithm to compute the reliability of Con(d, k, n) is Hwang and Wright's algorithm published in 1997, where . In this paper we use automata theory to reduce to . For d small or close to k, we have reduced from exponentially many (in k) to polynomially many. The computational complexity of our final algorithm is , where .     

Simultaneous Preservation of Orthogonality of Polynomials by Linear Operators Arising from Dilation of Orthogonal Polynomial Systems

For an orthogonal polynomial system and a sequence of nonzero numbers,let be the linear operator defined on the linear spaceof all polynomials via for all .We investigate conditions on and under which can simultaneously preserve the orthogonality ofdifferent polynomial systems. As an application, we get that for , a generalized Laguerre polynomial system, no can simultaneously preserve the orthogonality of twoadditional Laguerre systems, and , where and . On the other hand, for ,the Chebyshev polynomial system and , simultaneously preserves the orthogonality of uncountablymany kernel polynomial systems associated with p. We study manyother examples of this type.

Regular Unitarily Invariant Spaces on the Complex Sphere

Let K be a compact space, let X be a closed subspace of C(K), and let be a positive measure on K. The triple is said to be regular if, for any positive function and for any , there exists a function such that on K and . The case where K is the unit sphere in and the subspace X is invariant with respect to the unitary group is investigated. Sufficient spectral conditions and a necessary condition for the regularity of a triple are obtained. Connections with compactness of certain Hankel operators and applications to interpolation problems are presented. Bibliography: 16 titles.
