Wavelet frames with irregular matrix dilations and their stability

Let , B and A_j () be real nonsingular n×n matrices, λ_k () be real numbers. In this paper we present a sufficient condition for the system to be a frame for . This sufficient condition also shows the stability of the system with respect to the perturbation of matrix dilation parameters and the perturbation of translation parameters .     

Quartic residues and binary quadratic forms

Let be a prime, m∈Z and . In this paper we obtain a general criterion for m to be a quartic residue in terms of appropriate binary quadratic forms. Let d>1 be a squarefree integer such that , where is the Legendre symbol, and let ε_d be the fundamental unit of the quadratic field . Since 1942 many mathematicians tried to characterize those primes p so that ε_d is a quadratic or quartic residue . In this paper we will completely solve these open problems by determining the value of , where p is an odd prime, and . As an application we also obtain a general criterion for , where {u_n(a,b)} is the Lucas sequence defined by and .     

On the Spaltenstein correspondence

In the article [Spa1], N. Spaltenstein has established a bijection between the irreducible components of _χ, the space of full flags fixed by a nilpotent element χ ? M(n, k), where k is an algebraically closed field, and the standard tableaux associated to the Young diagram of χ. In this present work we determine, when χ is of hook type, for each irreducible component X of _χ, the unique Schubert cell _X of the full flag manifold = (V) (where V is vector space of dimension n over k), such that X ∩ _X is a dense subspace in X. This result will allow us to optimize the computation of _χ and when k = is the complex field, to see that the graph resolution of the partition (2, 1, …, 1) of n is related to the Dynkin diagram of sl(n, ).     

Arithmetical properties of wendt's determinant

Wendt's determinant of order n is the circulant determinant W_n whose (i,j)-th entry is the binomial coefficient , for 1?i,j?n, where n is a positive integer. We establish some congruence relations satisfied by these rational integers. Thus, if p is a prime number and k a positive integer, then and . If q is another prime, distinct from p, and h any positive integer, then . Furthermore, if p is odd, then . In particular, if p?5, then . Also, if m and n are relatively prime positive integers, then W_mW_n divides W_mn.

Dissipative sequences in infinite ergodic theory

Let T be an invertible, ergodic, measure-preserving transformation on a nonatomic, infinite, σ-finite measure space . A set is weakly wandering under the sequence of integers W={n_i}_i=1^∞ if the sets T^n_iA are disjoint. If, for a given sequence W, there exists a weakly wandering set of positive measure, then we call W a weakly wandering sequence. A sequence {k_i}_i=1^∞ is dissipative if, for every function , we have , almost everywhere. Every weakly wandering sequence is dissipative. In 1978, Hajian and Ito constructed a dissipative sequence which is not weakly wandering. An example of a dissipative sequence which is not a finite union of weakly wandering sequences is presented. Also, some further properties of dissipative sequences are studied.     

Quasi sure analysis of local times of anticipating smooth semimartingales

Let be the anticipating smooth semimartingale and be its generalized local time. In this paper, we give some estimates about the quasi sure property of Xt and its quadratic variation process t〈X〉. We also study the fractional smoothness of and prove that the quadratic variation process of can be constructed as the quasi sure limit of the form , where is a sequence of subdivisions of [a,b], , i=0,1,…,n².     

Multi-bump standing waves with a critical frequency for nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this paper we study the existence and qualitative property of standing wave solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with E being a critical frequency in the sense that . We show that if the zero set of W−E has several isolated connected components Z_i(i=1,…,m) such that the interior of Z_i is not empty and ∂Z_i is smooth, then for ?>0 small there exists, for any integer k,1?k?m, a standing wave solution which is trapped in a neighborhood of , where is any given subset of . Moreover the amplitude of the standing wave is of the level . This extends the result of Byeon and Wang (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 165 (2002) 295) and is in striking contrast with the non-critical frequency case , which has been studied extensively in the past 20 years.     

A new majorization between functions, polynomials, and operator inequalities

Let P₊ be the set of all non-negative operator monotone functions defined on [0,∞), and put . Then and . For a function and a strictly increasing function h we write if is operator monotone. If and and if and , then . We will apply this result to polynomials and operator inequalities. Let and be non-increasing sequences, and put for t≧a₁ and for t≧b₁. Then v₊?u₊ if m≦n and : in particular, for a sequence of orthonormal polynomials, (p_n-1)₊?(p_n)₊. Suppose 0<r,p and s=0 or 1≦s≦1+p/r. Then 0≦A≦B implies for 0<α≦r/(p+r).     

Exact sequences for the homology of the matching complex

Building on work by Bouc and by Shareshian and Wachs, we provide a toolbox of long exact sequences for the reduced simplicial homology of the matching complex Mn, which is the simplicial complex of matchings in the complete graph Kn. Combining these sequences in different ways, we prove several results about the 3-torsion part of the homology of Mn. First, we demonstrate that there is nonvanishing 3-torsion in whenever , where . By results due to Bouc and to Shareshian and Wachs, is a nontrivial elementary 3-group for almost all n and the bottom nonvanishing homology group of Mn for all n≠2. Second, we prove that is a nontrivial 3-group whenever . Third, for each k?0, we show that there is a polynomial fk(r) of degree 3k such that the dimension of , viewed as a vector space over Z₃, is at most fk(r) for all r?k+2.
