The W-convexity and normal structure in banach spaces

Let X be a Banach space, S(X) - x ε X : #x02016; = 1 be the unit sphere of X.The parameter, modulus of W^*-convexity, W^*(ε) = inf <(x − y)/2, f_x> : x, y S(X), x − y ≥ ε, f_x Δ_x , where 0 ≤ ε ≤ 2 and Δ_x S(X^*) be the set of norm 1 supporting functionals of S(X) at x, is investigated_ The relationship among uniform nonsquareness, uniform normal structure and the parameter W^*(ε) are studied, and a known result is improved. The main result is that for a Banach space X, if there is ε, where 0 < ε < 1/2, such that W^*(1 + ε) > ε/2 where W^*(1 + ε) = lim_→ε W^* (1 + ), then X has normal structure.     

Additive Maps Preserving Nilpotent Perturbation of Scalars

Let X be a Banach space over F(= R or C) with dimension greater than 2. Let N(X) be the set of all nilpotent operators and B_0(X) the set spanned by N(X). We give a structure result to the additive maps on FI + B_0(X) that preserve rank-1 perturbation of scalars in both directions. Based on it, a characterization of surjective additive maps on FI + B_0(X) that preserve nilpotent perturbation of scalars in both directions are obtained. Such a map Φ has the form either Φ(T) = cAT A~(-1)+ φ(T)I for all T ∈ FI + B_0(X) or Φ(T) = cAT*A~(-1)+ φ(T)I for all T ∈ FI + B_0(X), where c is a nonzero scalar,A is a τ-linear bijective transformation for some automorphism τ of F and φ is an additive functional.In addition, if dim X = ∞, then A is in fact a linear or conjugate linear invertible bounded operator.     

Measurable n-sensitivity and maximal pattern entropy

We introduce the notion of measurable n-sensitivity for measure preserving systems, and study the relation between measurable n-sensitivity and the maximal pattern entropy. We prove that, if (X, B, µ, T) is ergodic, then (X, B, µ, T) is measurable n-sensitive but not measurable (n+1)-sensitive if and only if h_µ^*(T) = log n, where h_µ^* (T) is the maximal pattern entropy of T.     

Topological entropy of a graph map

Let G be a graph and f : G → G be a continuous map. Denote by h(f), P(f), AP(f), R(f)and ω(x, f) the topological entropy of f, the set of periodic points of f, the set of almost periodic points of f, the set of recurrent points of f and the ω-limit set of x under f, respectively. In this paper,we show that the following statements are equivalent:(1) h(f) 0.(2) There exists an x ∈ G such that ω(x, f) ∩ P(f) = ? and ω(x, f) is an infinite set.(3) There exists an x ∈ G such that ω(x, f)contains two minimal sets.(4) There exist x, y ∈ G such that ω(x, f)-ω(y, f) is an uncountable set and ω(y, f) ∩ω(x, f) = ?.(5) There exist an x ∈ G and a closed subset A ? ω(x, f) with f(A) ? A such that ω(x, f)-A is an uncountable set.(6) R(f)-AP(f) = ?.(7) f |P(f)is not pointwise equicontinuous.     

Chapter 4:algebraic sets, polynomials, and other functions

Let T be a linear operator on the vector space V ofn×n matrices over a field F. We discuss two types of problems in this chapter. First, what can we say about T if we assume that T maps a given algebraic set such as the special linear group into itself? Second, let p(x) be a polynomial function (such as det) on V into F. What can we say about T if Tpreserves p(x), i.e. p(T(X)) = p(X) for all X in V?     

Strong 3-commutativity preserving maps on standard operator algebras

Let X be a Banach space of dimension ≥ 2 over the real or complex field F and A a standard operator algebra in B(X). A map Φ :A →A is said to be strong 3-commutativity preserving if [Φ(A), Φ(B)]3 = [A,B]3 for all A,B∈ A, where[A,B]3 is the 3-commutator of A,B defined by[A, B]3 = [[[A, B],B],B] with [A,B] = AB-BA. The main result in this paper is shown that.,if Φ is a surjective map on A, then Φ is strong 3-commutativity preserving if and only if there exist a functional h : A →F and a scalar λ∈ F with λ~4 = 1 such that Φ(A)=λ A+h(A)I for all A ∈ A.     

Weak stability for matrices

An n×n complex matrix A is called weak stable if there exists a matrix W such that W+W^* is positive definite and such that AW+W^*A^* is positive definite. In this note several characterizations for weak stability of a matrix are given, and conditions (on A) allowing W to be a diagonal matrix are also considered. A consequence of our results here is a characterization for nonsingular M-matrices.     

On the fourth power moment of Fourier coefficients of cusp form

Let a(n)be the Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form of weightκ=2n≥12 for the full modular group and A(x)=∑_(n≤x)a(n).In this paper,we establish an asymptotic formula of the fourth power moment of A(x)and prove that ∫T1A~4(x)dx=3/(64κπ~4)s_4;2()T~(2κ)+O(T~(2κ-δ_4+ε))with δ_4=1/8,which improves the previous result.     

Complementarity forms of theorems of Lyapunov and Stein, and related results

The well-known Lyapunov's theorem in matrix theory / continuous dynamical systems asserts that a (complex) square matrix A is positive stable (i.e., all eigenvalues lie in the open right-half plane) if and only if there exists a positive definite matrix X such that AX+XA^* is positive definite. In this paper, we prove a complementarity form of this theorem: A is positive stable if and only if for any Hermitian matrix Q, there exists a positive semidefinite matrix X such that AX+XA^*+Q is positive semidefinite and X[AX+XA^*+Q]=0. By considering cone complementarity problems corresponding to linear transformations of the form I−S, we show that a (complex) matrix A has all eigenvalues in the open unit disk of the complex plane if and only if for every Hermitian matrix Q, there exists a positive semidefinite matrix X such that X−AXA^*+Q is positive semidefinite and X[X−AXA^*+Q]=0. By specializing Q (to −I), we deduce the well known Stein's theorem in discrete linear dynamical systems: A has all eigenvalues in the open unit disk if and only if there exists a positive definite matrix X such that X−AXA^* is positive definite.     

First passage time for some stationary processes

For a 1-dependent stationary sequence {X_n} we first show that if u satisfies p₁=p₁(u)=P(X₁>u)0.025 and n>3 is such that 88np₁³1, then

P{max(X₁,…,X_n)u}=ν·μⁿ+O{p₁³(88n(1+124np₁³)+561)}, n>3,

where

ν=1−p₂+2p₃−3p₄+p₁²+6p₂²−6p₁p₂,μ=(1+p₁−p₂+p₃−p₄+2p₁²+3p₂²−5p₁p₂)⁻¹

with

p_k=p_k(u)=P{min(X₁,…,X_k)>u}, k1

and

|O(x)||x|.

From this result we deduce, for a stationary T-dependent process with a.s. continuous path {Y_s}, a similar, in terms of P{max_0skTY_s<u}, k=1,2 formula for P{max_0stY_su}, t>3T and apply this formula to the process Y_s=W(s+1)−W(s), s0, where {W(s)} is the Wiener process. We then obtain numerical estimations of the above probabilities.     

Boundary Behavior of Large Solutions to the Monge-Ampère Equation in a Borderline Case

This paper is concerned with the boundary behavior of strictly convex large solutions to the Monge-Ampère equation detD²u(x)=b(x)f(u(x)), u > 0, x ∈ Ω, where Ω is a strictly convex and bounded smooth domain in R^N with N ≥ 2, f is normalized regularly varying at infinity with the critical index N and has a lower term, and b ∈ C^∞(Ω) is positive in Ω, but may be appropriate singular on the boundary.     

Global well-posedness of the 3D generalized rotating magnetohydrodynamics equations

In this paper,we establish the global well-posedness of the generalized rotating magnetohydrodynamics equations if the initial data are in X~(1-2α) defined by X~(1-2α)={u∈D'(R~3):∫_(R~3)|ξ|~(1-2α)|(ξ)|dξ+∞}.In addition,we also give Gevrey class regularity of the solution.     

The construction of irreducible normalized representations of the general linear group

A method is described for constructing in an explicit form an irreducible representation T of M_n(F), the set of all n × n matrices over the real or complex field F, satisfying the condition T(A^*)=T^*(A) for all A∈M_n(F).     

Non blow-up criterion for the 3-D Magneto-hydrodynamics equations in the limiting case

In this paper, we prove that suitable weak solution(u, b) of the 3-D MHD equations can be extended beyond T if u∈L~∞(0,T; L~3(R~3)) and the horizontal components b_h of the magnetic field satisfies the well-known Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin condition, which improves the corresponding regularity criterion by Mahalov-Nicolaenko-Shilkin.     

Generic pairs of SU-rank 1 structures

For a supersimple SU-rank 1 theory T we introduce the notion of a generic elementary pair of models of T (generic T-pair). We show that the theory T^* of all generic T-pairs is complete and supersimple. In the strongly minimal case, T^* coincides with the theory of infinite dimensional pairs, which was used in (S. Buechler, Pseudoprojective strongly minimal sets are locally projective, J. Symbolic Logic 56(4) (1991) 1184–1194) to study the geometric properties of T. In our SU-rank 1 setting, we use T^* for the same purpose. In particular, we obtain a characterization of linearity for SU-rank 1 structures by giving several equivalent conditions on T^*, find a “weak” version of local modularity which is equivalent to linearity, show that linearity coincides with 1-basedness, and use the generic pairs to “recover” projective geometries over division rings from non-trivial linear SU-rank 1 structures.     

Some new properties of the equality constrained and weighted least squares problem

In this paper, some new properties of the equality constrained and weighted least squares problem (WLSE) min W^1/2(Kx−g)₂ subject to Lx=h are obtained. We derive a perturbation bound based on an unconstrained least squares problem and deduce some equivalent formulae for the projectors of this unconstrained LS problem. We also present a new way to compute the minimum norm solution x_WLSE of the WLSE problem by using the QR decomposition of the corresponding matrices and propose an algorithm to compute x_WLSE using the QR factorizations. Some numerical examples are provided to compare different methods for solving the WLSE problem.     

Full quadrature sums for pth powers of polynomials with Freud weights

In this paper, we provide a solution of the quadrature sum problem of R. Askey for a class of Freud weights. Let r> 0, b (− ∞, 2]. We establish a full quadrature sum estimate

1 p < ∞, for every polynomial P of degree at most n + rn^1/3, where W² is a Freud weight such as exp(−¦x¦), > 1, λ_jn are the Christoffel numbers, x_jn are the zeros of the orthonormal polynomials for the weight W², and C is independent of n and P. We also prove a generalisation, and that such an estimate is not possible for polynomials P of degree M = m(n) if m(n) = n + ξ_nn^1/3, where ξ_n → ∞ as n → ∞. Previous estimates could sum only over those x_jn with ¦x_jn¦ σx_1n, some fixed 0 < σ < 1.     

Smoothness of the gradient of weak solutions of degenerate linear equations

Let Q(x) be a nonnegative definite, symmetric matrix such that (Q(x))(1/2) is Lipschitz continuous. Given a real-valued function b(x) and a weak solution u(x) of div(Q▽u) = b, we find sufficient conditions in order that Q(1/2)▽u has some first order smoothness. Specifically, if Ω is a bounded open set in R~n, we study when the components of Q(1/2)▽u belong to the first order Sobolev space W_Q~(1,2)(Ω)defined by Sawyer and Wheeden. Alternately, we study when each of n first order Lipschitz vector field derivatives X_iu has some first order smoothness if u is a weak solution in Ω of ∑_(i=1)~n X′_iX_(iu) + b = 0.We do not assume that {X_i} is a Hormander collection of vector fields in Ω. The results signal ones for more general equations.     

Biased partitions and judicious <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-partitions of graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a graph with m edges. For reals p ∈ [0, 1] and q = 1- p, let m_p(G) be the minimum of qe(V₁) +pe(V₂) over partitions V = V₁ ∪ V₂, where e(V_i) denotes the number of edges spanned by V_i. We show that if mp(G) = pqm-δ, then there exists a bipartition V₁, V₂ of G such that e(V₁) ≤ p²m - δ + p√m/2 + o(√m) and e(V₂) ≤ q²m - δ + q √m/2 + o(√m) for δ = o(m^2/3). This is sharp for complete graphs up to the error term o(√m). For an integer k ≥ 2, let fk(G) denote the maximum number of edges in a k-partite subgraph of G. We prove that if fk(G) = (1 - 1/k)m + α, then G admits a k-partition such that each vertex class spans at most m/k² - Ω(m/k^7.5) edges for α = Ω(m/k⁶). Both of the above improve the results of Bollobás and Scott.     

A bound for the condition of a hyperbolic eigenvector matrix

The hyperbolic eigenvector matrix is a matrix X which simultaneously diagonalizes the pair (H,J), where H is Hermitian positive definite and J = diag(±1) such that X*HX = Δ and X*JX = J. We prove that the spectral condition of X, κ(X), is bounded byK(X)√minK(D^*HD), where the minimum is taken over all non-singular matrices D which commute with J. This bound is attainable and it can be simply computed. Similar results hold for other signature matrices J, like in the discretized Klein—Gordon equation.
