Summary We study the Cauchy problem for linear second order strictly hyperbolic differential operators whose coefficients are assumed to be Lipschitz-continuous with respect to time. We prove results ofH _∞ andH _−∞ well-posedness, the usual Sobolev spaces, and results on the propagation ofC ^∞-regularity of the solution.

Asymptotic behavior of the solutions of an integrodifferential system

Summary We consider the system(L): , t ⩾ p, y(t)=f(t), t⩽0, where y is an n-vector and each A_i, B(t) are n × n matrices. System(L) generates a semigroup by means of T_tf(s)=y (t+s, f), f(s) ∈ BC_l(− ∞, 0]. Under some hypotheses concerning the roots ofdet where is the Laplace transform of B(t), the asymptotic behavior of y(t) is discussed. Two typical results are: Theorem 3.1: suppose ∥B(t)∥ ɛ L₁[0, ∞), thendet forRe λ>0 iff for every ɛ>0 there is an M_ɛ>0 such that ∥T_tf∥_l ⩽ ⩽ M_ɛ exp [ɛt]∥f∥_l for t ⩾ 0. Corollary 3.1.1: suppose exp [at]B(t) ∈ ∈ L₁[0, ∞) for some a>0 anddet forRe λ>−a. Then the solution of(L) is exponentially asymptotically stable. Entrata in Redazione il 21 marzo 1975.

Distribution of integral functionals of a Brownian motion process

In this paper one considers methods which enable one to determine the distribution of certain functionals of a Brownian motion process. Among such functionals we have: the positive continuous additive functional of a Brownian motion, defined by the formula $$A\left( t \right) = \int\limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {\hat t\left( {t, y} \right)dF\left( y \right),} $$ where \(\hat t\left( {t, y} \right)\) is the Brownian local time process while F(y) is a monotonically increasing right continuous function; the functional $$B\left( t \right) = \mathop {\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty } }\nolimits^\infty f\left( {y,\hat t\left( {t, y} \right)} \right)dy,$$ where f(y, x) is a continuous function; and the functional $$C\left( t \right) = \mathop {\mathop \smallint \limits_0 }\nolimits^t f\left( {w\left( s \right),\hat t\left( {sr} \right)} \right)ds$$ As an application of these methods one considers some concrete functionals such that \(\hat t^{ - 1} \left( z \right) = \min \left\{ {s:\hat t\left( {s, o} \right) = z} \right\},\mathop {\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty } }\nolimits^\infty \hat t^2 \left( {t, y} \right)dy,\mathop {\sup }\limits_{y \in R^1 } \hat t\left( {T, y} \right)\) , where T is an exponential random time, independent of \(\hat t\left( {t, y} \right)\) .

Asymptotic properties of local densities of measures generated by semimartingales

For families of probability measures (P , )) generated by semimartingales, we consider the local density)(y, )= _t (y, )) _t0 of a, measureP _y with respect to the measureP whose logarithm is the difference of a local martingale and a positive predictable increasing locally bounded process. Conditions are obtained under which the relations and hold, wherey _t depends in some way ont, while _t ast . Applications of these relations are exhibited and an example is given when the hypotheses of the theorems proved can be verified.Translated fromTeoriya Sluchaínykh Protsessov, Vol. 14, pp. 48–55, 1986.

On the index of elliptic partial differential operators inR n

Summary Let A= be an elliptic differential operator inR _u, If, for |α|=l, the coefficients a_α are ? nearly constant ? and, for |α|<l, they tend to zero at infinity with a certain swiftness, it is proved that A is a Fredholm operator with index_x(A)=0 between a suitable weighted Sobolev space M contained in W^l,p (R n) and L^p(R ⁿ, (1+|x|)^lp)== . It is shown, by counterexamples, that the above result, holds only if n>l, p>n/(n−l) and that isomorphism results can be obtained, in general only if the coefficients a_α(|α|<l) are assumed to be ? sufficiently small ? also on compact sets. Then a Sturm-Liouville type problem is studied and a class of negative and falling off at infinity potentials V(x) is constructed in such a way that the Schr?dinger operator H=−Δ+V(x), in L²(R ⁿ), has a zero eigenvalue.

Sunto Sia un operatore differenziale ellittico inR ⁿ. Se, per |α|=l, i coefficienti a_α sono ? quasi costanti ? e, per |α|<l, tendono a zero all'infinito con una certa rapidità, si dimostra che A è un operatore di Fredholm con indice_X(A)=0 tra un opportuno spazio di Sobolev con peso M contenuto in W^l,p(R ⁿ) ed L^p(R ⁿ, (1+|x|)^lp)== . Si prova, mediante controesempi, che tale risultato è valido solo se n>l, p>n/(n−l) e che teoremi di isomorfismo si possono ottenere, in generale, solo se si assume che i coefficienti a_α (|α|<l) sono ? sufficientemente piccoli ? anche su insiemi compatti. Si studia quindi un problema del tipo Sturm-Liouville e si costruisce una classe di potenziali V(x) negativi e convergenti a zero all'infinito, tali che l'operatore di Schr?dinger H=−δ+V(x) in L²(R ⁿ) abbia un autovalore nullo.

Dichotomy laws for the behaviour near the unit element of group representations

A well known “zero-two law" shows that if is a strongly continuous one-parameter group of bounded operators on a Banach space X, and if then Here we discuss analogous problems for general unital representations θ of a topological group G on a unital Banach algebra A. Let 1 be the unit of G, and I the unit element of A. We show that either or if, moreover, θ admits “continuous division by any positive integer”, then, either or Our argument also gives automatic continuity results for representations of abelian Baire groups on a separable Banach algebra and representations of compact non abelian groups on a Banach algebra which are locally bounded and satisfy Received: 8 June 2005; revised: 13 October 2005

ON A CLASS OF BESICOVITCHFUNCTIONS TO HAVE EXACT BOX DIMENSION： A NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION

This paper summarized recent achievements obtained by the authors about the box dimensions of the Besicovitch functions given byB(t) := ∞∑k=1 λs-2k sin(λkt),where 1 ＜ s ＜ 2, λk ＞ 0 tends to infinity as k →∞ and λk satisfies λk 1/λk ≥λ＞ 1. The results show thatlimk→∞ log λk 1/log λk = 1is a necessary and sufficient condition for Graph(B(t)) to have same upper and lower box dimensions.For the fractional Riemann-Liouville differential operator Du and the fractional integral operator D-v,the results show that if λ is sufficiently large, then a necessary and sufficient condition for box dimension of Graph(D-v(B)),0 ＜ v ＜ s - 1, to be s - v and box dimension of Graph(Du(B)),0 ＜ u ＜ 2 - s, to be s uis also lim k→∞logλk 1/log λk = 1.

This paper begins with new definitions for double sequence spaces. These new definitions are constructed, in general, by combining modulus function and nonnegative four-dimensional matrix. We use these definitions to establish inclusion theorems between various sequence spaces such as: If A = (a _m,n,k,l ) be a nonnegative four-dimensional matrix such that

Interval estimation of the critical value in a general linear model

Summary This paper concerns interval estimation of the critical value θ which satisfies under the general linear model,Y _i =μ(x _i )+ε _i (i=1,2,···), where for and the functional forms off _j ^′ s are known. From an asymptotic expansion it is shown that, under reasonable conditions, the limiting distribution of is normal. Thus in the large-sample case a confidence interval for θ can be obtained. Such a result is useful when one is interested in carrying out a retrospective analysis rather than designing the experiment (as in the Kiefer-Wolfowitz procedure). In Section 3 a sequential procedure is considered for confidence intervals with fixed width 2d. It is shown that, for a given stopping variableN, is also asymptotically normal asd→0. Thus the coverage probability converges to 1−α (preassigned) asd→0. An example of application in estimating the phase parameter in circadian rhythms is given for the purpose of illustration.
