Some extensions of the Hewitt-Savage zero-one law

Summary Let denote the class of infinite product probability measures = ₁× ₂× defined on an infinite product of replications of a given measurable space (X, A), and let denote the subset of for which (A) =0 or 1 for each permutation invariant event A. Previous works by Hewitt and Savage, Horn and Schach, Blum and Pathak, and Sendler (referenced in the paper) discuss very restrictive sufficient conditions under which a given member , of belongs to . In the present paper, the class is shown to possess several closure properties. E.g., if and _{0 n} for some n 1, then ₀× ₁× ₂×.... While the current results do not permit a complete characterization of they demonstrate conclusively that is a much larger subset of than previous results indicated. The interesting special case X={0,1} is discussed in detail.Research supported by the National Science Foundation under grant No. MCS75-07556     

Fubini theorem for anticipating stochastic integrals in Hilbert space

Let (X,l,) be a measure space, letW be a cylindrical Hilbert-Wiener process, and let be an anticipating integrable process-valued function onX. We prove, under natural assumptions on, that there exists a measurable version Y_x,x X, of the anticipating integral of(x) such that the integral _x Y_x(dx) is a version of the anticipating integral of _X (x)(dx). We apply this anticipating Fubini theorem to study solutions of a class of stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert space.     

Ultrafilter translations

We develop a method for extending results about ultrafilters into a more general setting. In this paper we shall be mainly concerned with applications to cardinality logics. For example, assumingV=L, Gödel's Axiom of Constructibility, we prove that if > then the logic with the quantifier there exist many is (,)-compact if and only if either is weakly compact or is singular of cofinality<. As a corollary, for every infinite cardinals and , there exists a (,)-compact non-(,)-compact logic if and only if either < orcf<cf or < is weakly compact.Counterexamples are given showing that the above statements may fail, ifV=L is not assumed.However, without special assumptions, analogous results are obtained for the stronger notion of [,]-compactness.     

Effilement minimal en une singularité isolée de l'équation de Schrödinger et application au principe de Picard

In this paper, the generalized Schrödinger equation (–)u=0 on the punctured unit disk of ² is investigated. If is rotation free and satisfies the Picard principle at the origin, it is shown that if a setE is minimal thin relatively to an extremal harmonic functionh with zero boundary values at {|x|=1}, there exists a sequence (r _n ) converging to zero such that B(O,r _n ) C E. Lete be the -unit. It is proved that if a measure satisfies _\E e h d<, for a minimal thin, relatively toh , setE then the Picard principle is valid for the measure + .

     

Finitely subadditive and countably subadditive outer measures

Results are given comparing countably subadditive (csa) outer measures and finitely subadditive (fsa) outer measures, especially relating to regularity and measurability conditions such as (*) condition:A setE (of an arbitrary setX), is measurable ( an outer measure),ES (the collection of measurable sets) iff (X)=(E)+(E). Specific examples are given contrasting csa and fsa outer measures. In particular fsa and csa outer measures derived from finitely additive measures defined on an algebra of sets generated by a lattice of sets, are investigated in some detail.     

On a Particular Class of Minihypers and Its Applications. I. The Result for General q

This article is the first in a series of three articles that discuss a particular class of minihypers and its applications. Proving that for small and < N, a {v _{+ 1}, v ; N, q}-minihyper consists of a sum of -spaces, we show that the excess points of an s-cover with excess of PG(N, q), (s + 1)|(N + 1), form a sum of s-spaces, and that no maximal partial s-spreads with deficiency of PG(N, q), (s + 1)|(N + 1), exist. The case q square will be studied in greater detail in [7] and further applications of these classification results on this class of minihypers will be published in [8].     

Durch graduierte Lie-Algebren definierte Paar-Algebren

Pair algebras which have a non degenerate (left- and right-) invariant bilinear form and for which the inner derivation algebra is completely reducible are characterised by pairs (C,), where C is a n×n matrix satisfying certain conditions and is a sequence of n integers equal to 0 or 1. They occur as pair algebras of type (S(C,)_–1,S(C,)₁), xuy=[[x,u],y], where (S(C,)_r)_r is the gradation induced by . in the Kac-Moody algebraS(C). If C is an affin Cartan matrix (as in the case of Lie triple systems), there exists a finite dimensional simple Lie algebrag and a Aut (g), ord =m< such that the pair algebra is isomorphic to the pair algebra (g _–1,g ₁), xuy=[[x,u],y] (product ing), whereg _i. is the eigenspace of of eigenvalue ⁱ, a primitive m-th root of unity.     

The existence of probability measures with specified projections

Let X and Y be locally compact-compact topological spaces, F X×Y is closed, and P(F) is the set of all Borel probability measures on F. For us to find, for the pair of probability measures (_x, _y P (X)×P(Y), a probability measure P(F) such that _X = _X ^–1 , _Y = _Y ^–1 it is necessary and sufficient that, for any pair of Borel sets A X, B Y for which (A× B) F=Ø, the condition _XA+ _YB 1 holds.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 573–576, October, 1973.     

On the existence of wave operators for the Klein-Gordon equation

The problem of existence of wave operators for the Klein-Gordon equation ( _t ² –+²+iV_1t+V₂)u(x,t)=0 (x R ⁿ,t R, n3, >0) is studied where V₁ and V₂ are symmetric operators in L₂(R ⁿ) and it is shown that conditions similar to those of Veseli-Weidmann (Journal Functional Analysis 17, 61–77 (1974)) for a different class of operators are also sufficient for the Klein-Gordon equation.     

Vector-valued stochastic processes. I. Vector measures and vector-valued stochastic processes with finite variation

In this paper we study the relationship _V (M)=E(1 _M dV _S ) between operatorvalued processesV with finite variation V and operator-valued stochastic measures _V with finite variation | _V |. The variations satisfy the inequality | _V | _|V|, which, under certain conditions, is an equality (for example, ifV is measurable).     

A New Relaxation Space for Obstacles

The space of obstacles (i.e. p-quasi upper semicontinuous functions) is endowed with a distance which is topologically equivalent to the -convergence. We find the metric completion of this space and we give some application for minimization problems of cost functionals depending on obstacles via their level sets. An element of the completion is a decreasing and _p -continuous on the left mapping Rt _t , where _t are positive Borel measures vanishing on sets of zero p-capacity.     

1-Homogeneous Graphs with Cocktail Party μ-Graphs

Let be a graph with diameter d 2. Recall is 1-homogeneous (in the sense of Nomura) whenever for every edge xy of the distance partition{{z V() | (z, y) = i, (x, z) = j} | 0 i, j d}is equitable and its parameters do not depend on the edge xy. Let be 1-homogeneous. Then is distance-regular and also locally strongly regular with parameters (v,k,,), where v = k, k = a ₁, (v – k – 1) = k(k – 1 – ) and c ₂ + 1, since a -graph is a regular graph with valency . If c ₂ = + 1 and c ₂ 1, then is a Terwilliger graph, i.e., all the -graphs of are complete. In [11] we classified the Terwilliger 1-homogeneous graphs with c ₂ 2 and obtained that there are only three such examples. In this article we consider the case c ₂ = + 2 3, i.e., the case when the -graphs of are the Cocktail Party graphs, and obtain that either = 0, = 2 or is one of the following graphs: (i) a Johnson graph J(2m, m) with m 2, (ii) a folded Johnson graph J¯(4m, 2m) with m 3, (iii) a halved m-cube with m 4, (iv) a folded halved (2m)-cube with m 5, (v) a Cocktail Party graph K _{m × 2} with m 3, (vi) the Schläfli graph, (vii) the Gosset graph.     

On the Choquet Charge of δ-superharmonic Functions

Let u v be positive superharmonic functions in a general potential-theoretic setting, where these functions have a Choquet-type integral representation by minimal such functions with Choquet charges (i.e. representing measures) and , respectively. We show that on the contact set {u – v = 0} of the -superharmonic function u – v, if this set is properly interpreted as the set of those minimal superharmonic functions s which satisfy lim sup _{T s} v/u = 1 for the co-fine neighborhood filter T _s associated with s. In the setting of classical potential theory for Laplace's equation this result improves on results obtained by Fuglede in 1992.     

A graded scale of parametric families of distributions,and parameter estimates based on the sample mean

Summary Denote by _k a class of familiesP={P} of distributions on the line R¹ depending on a general scalar parameter , being an interval of R¹, and such that the moments µ₁()=xdP ,...,µ_2k ()=x ^2k dP are finite, ₁ (), ..., _k (), _k+1 () ..., _k () exist and are continuous, with ₁ () 0, and _j +1 ()= ₁ () _j () +[₂() -₁()²] _j ()/ ₁ (), J=2, ..., k. Let ₁=¯x=x ₁ + ... +x _n/n, ₂=x ₁ ² + ... +x _n ²/n, ..., _k =(x ₁ ^k + ... +x _n ^k/n denote the sample moments constructed for a sample x₁, ..., x_n from a population with distribution Pg. We prove that the estimator of the parameter by the method of moments determined from the equation ₁= ₁() and depending on the observations x₁, ..., x_n only via the sample mean ¯x is asymptotically admissible (and optimal) in the class _k of the estimators determined by the estimator equations of the form ₀ () + ₁ () ₁ + ... + _k () _k =0 if and only ifP _k .The asymptotic admissibility (respectively, optimality) means that the variance of the limit, as n (normal) distribution of an estimator normalized in a standard way is less than the same characteristic for any estimator in the class under consideration for at least one 9 (respectively, for every ).The scales arise of classes _{1 2}... of parametric families and of classes _{1 2} ... of estimators related so that the asymptotic admissibility of an estimator by the method of moments in the class _k is equivalent to the membership of the familyP in the class _k .The intersection consists only of the families of distributions with densities of the form h(x) exp {C₀() + C₁() x } when for the latter the problem of moments is definite, that is, there is no other family with the same moments ₁ (), ₂ (), ...Such scales in the problem of estimating the location parameter were predicted by Linnik about 20 years ago and were constructed by the author in [1] (see also [2, 3]) in exact, not asymptotic, formulation.Translated from Problemy Ustoichivosti Stokhasticheskikh Modelei, pp. 41–47, 1981.     

On singular perturbation of a semilinear hyperbolic equation

We consider a hyperbolic version of Eells-Sampson's equation: . This equation is semilinear with respect to space derivative and time derivative. Letu (x) be the solution with initial data u(0) and (0), and putv (t,x)=u (t,x). We show that when the resistance ,V (t,x) converges to a solution of the original parabolic Eells-Sampson's equation: . Note thatv _t(0)= (0) diverges when . We show that this phenomena occurs in more general situations.This article was processed by the author using the Springer-Verlag Pjourlg macro package.     

Dual-orthogonal polynomials

Let (x, ) and (x,) be two functions,x[a, b] and { _j } _j=1 and { _j } _j=1 be two sequences where _{i j} and _{i j} whenij. We define the vector spacesU _k =span{(x, _j )} _j=1 ^k andV _k =span{(x, _j )} _j=1 ^k where we assume thatdim(U _k )=dim(V _k )=k,k1. We then look for the generalized polynomialsp _m xU _m+1\U _m so that _a ^b p _m (x)(x, _j )d(x)=0,j=1,2,...,m. If such generalized polynomials exist for allm1 we say that {p _m } _m=1 is a dual-orthogonal polynomial sequence from {(x, _j )} _j=1 to {(x, _j )} _j=1 with respect to the distribution (x),x[a, b]. In this article we present existence theorems for dual-orthogonal polynomials, explicit formulae forp _m(x), theorems about the zeros ofp _m(x), and, in the end, a Gauss-type quadrature formula for dual-orthogonal polynomials.     

Characterization of {v μ+1 + 2v μ,v μ + 2v μ − 1;t,q}-min · hypers and its applications to error-correcting codes

Recently, Hamada [5] characterized all {v ₂ + 2v ₁,v ₁ + 2v ₀;t,q}-min · hypers for any integert 2 and any prime powerq 3 wherev _l = (q ^l – 1)/(q – 1) for any integerl 0. The purpose of this paper is to characterize all {v _{+ 1} + 2v ,v + 2v _{– 1};t,q}-min · hypers for any integerst, and any prime powerq such thatt 3, 2 t – 1 andq 5 and to characterize all (n, k, d; q)-codes meeting the Griesmer bound (1.1) for the casek 3, d = q ^k-1 – (2q ^-1 +q ) andq 5 using the results in Hamada [3, 4, 5].

The fundamental result: if and v are two finite Borel measures, defined in the spaceL ^p[0, 1] (1p<) or in C(K) (K is a metric compactum without isolated points), then from the equalities (B)=v(B) for all balls B of radius 1 there follows that =v. In addition, in the spaces C(K) and _p (1p<) from the inequalities (B) v(B) there follows that v.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Zwei in Reihe angeordnete Schalter (mit einer Warteschlange dazwischen) bei Exponentialverteilung der Ankünfte und Abgänge

Einführung und Zusammenfassung Es wird ein System von zwei hintereinandergeschalteten BedienungskanälenA undB untersucht. Ankünfte und Abfertigungen genügen Exponentialverteilungen mit den Parametern für die Ankunftsrate und (₁, ₂) für die unterschiedlichen Abfertigungsraten der TeilsystemeA undB. ZwischenA undB befinden sichk Warteplätze. Wenn das SystemA besetzt ist, so läuft das Gesamtsystem über, d. h., ankommende Einheiten können in das besetzte EingangsystemA nicht eintreten und gehen verloren. Die Sonderfälle ₁=₂ undk=0 undk=1 werden beispielsweise beiMorse ²) behandelt. Zunächst wird für eine endliche Zahl vonk Warteplätzen eine Lösung hergeleitet, mit der man die WahrscheinlichkeitenP _ij für die Zustände des Systems außerordentlich einfach rekursiv berechnen kann. Für die wichtigsten Kenngrößen (Ausnutzungsgrad, Zahl der Einheiten im System, Länge der Warteschlange) des Gesamtsystems und der TeilsystemeA undB werden einfache Formeln angegeben. Schließlich wird die Lösung auf den Fallk ausgedehnt. In dem Falle besteht zwischen den Parametern , ₁ und ₂ eine einschränkende Bedingung.

Introduction and summary A system of two service stationsA andB arranged in series is considered. The arrival and service time distributions are assumed to be exponential with arrival rate and (different) service rates (₁, ₂) for the two stationsA andB. A queue of at mostk waiting customers is allowed between the two stations. If stationA is occupied arriving units cannot enter the system and go elsewhere. Special cases with ₁=₂ andk=0 andk=1 have been treated e.g. byMorse.²) For queues of finite lengthk a solution is obtained which allows the state probabilitiesP _ij to be determined recursively in an extremely simple manner. For the more important characteristics (utilization rate, number of units in the system, length of queue) of the whole system as well as of the two separate stationsA andB simple formulas are derived. Finally, the solution is extended to cover the casek . Under these circumstances it is shown that the parameters , ₁ and ₂ cannot be varied completely independently of one another.

     

Minimality of root vectors of operator functions analytic in an angle

We study the minimality of elementsx _h,j,k of canonical systems of root vectors. These systems correspond to the characteristic numbers _k of operator functionsL() analytic in an angle; we assume that operators act in a Hilbert space . In particular, we consider the case whereL()=I+T()c, >0,I is an identity operator,C is a completely continuous operator, (I- C)^–1c for ¦arg¦, 0<<, the operator functionT() is analytic, and T()c for ¦arg¦<. It is proved that, in this case, there exists >0 such that the system of vectorsC ^v x _h,j,k is minimal in for arbitrary positive <1+, provided that ¦_k¦>.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 545–566, May, 1994.This research was partially supported by the Ukrainian State Committee of Science and Technology.
