Decay of the L∞-norm of solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains

We show that for nn? 4 the L_∞-norm of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations on ?ⁿ with generalized energy inequality decays like $\parallel u(t, \cdot )\parallel _\infty = O(t^{ - ({{n + 1)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{n + 1)} 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} ),if(1 + | \cdot |)|u(0, \cdot )| \in L_1 $ and $$\int_{\mathbb{R}^n } {u(0,x)} dx = 0$$ . The same holds for strong solutions in all dimensions, if additionally u(0, ·) ε L_p p >n.     

The isometries ofC p

Theorem.Let 1≦p≦∞,p ≠ 2, and let V be an isometry of C_p onto itself. Then there exist two unitary operators u and w on l₂ so that V acts on C_p in one of the following forms: \((i) Vx = u \cdot x \cdot w; (ii) Vx = u \cdot x^T \cdot w\) (where x^T is the transpose of x).     

Subspace Arrangements of Type B n and D n

Let ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ be the family of linear subspaces of ?ⁿ given by all equations of the form $\varepsilon _1 x_{i_1 } = \varepsilon _2 x_{i_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot \varepsilon _k x_{i_k } ,$ for 1 ≤ < ? ? ? < i _k ≤ i and $\left( {\varepsilon _1 ,...,\varepsilon _k } \right)\varepsilon \left\{ { + 1, - 1} \right\}^k $ Also let ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h} $ be ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ enlarged by the subspaces $x_{j_1 } = x_{j_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot x_{j_h } = 0,$ for 1 ≤. The special cases ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,2,1} $ and ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} $ are well known as the reflection hyperplane arrangements corresponding to the Coxeter groups of type B _nand D _n respectively. In this paper we study combinatorial and topological properties of the intersection lattices of these subspace arrangements. Expressions for their Möbius functions and characteristic polynomials are derived. Lexicographic shellability is established in the case of ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} 1 \leqslant h < k$ , which allows computation of the homology of its intersection lattice and the cohomology groups of the manifold $\begin{gathered} {\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} \\ M_{n,k,h,} = {\mathbb{R}}^n \backslash \bigcup {{\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} } \\ \end{gathered} $ . For instance, it is shown that $H^d \left( {M_{n,k,k - 1} } \right)$ is torsion-free and is nonzero if and only if d = t(k ? 2) for some $t,0 \leqslant t \leqslant \left[ {{n \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {n k}} \right. \kern-0em} k}} \right]$ . Torsion-free cohomology follows also for the complement in ?ⁿof the complexification ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h}^C ,1 \leqslant h < k$ .     

Convergence of polyharmonic splines on semi-regular grids \mathbb{Z}{{\boldsymbol{\times}} \boldsymbol{a}} {\mathbb{Z}^{\it\boldsymbol{n}}} for {\boldsymbol{a}\rightarrow\mathbf {0}}

Let p, n ∈ ? with 2p ≥ n + 2, and let I _a be a polyharmonic spline of order p on the grid ? × a? ⁿ which satisfies the interpolating conditions $I_{a}\left( j,am\right) =d_{j}\left( am\right) $ for j ∈ ?, m ∈ ? ⁿ where the functions d _j : ? ⁿ → ? and the parameter a > 0 are given. Let $B_{s}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) $ be the set of all integrable functions f : ? ⁿ → ? such that the integral $$ \left\| f\right\| _{s}:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\left| \widehat{f}\left( \xi\right) \right| \left( 1+\left| \xi\right| ^{s}\right) d\xi $$ is finite. The main result states that for given $\mathbb{\sigma}\geq0$ there exists a constant c>0 such that whenever $d_{j}\in B_{2p}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) \cap C\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) ,$ j ∈ ?, satisfy $\left\| d_{j}\right\| _{2p}\leq D\cdot\left( 1+\left| j\right| ^{\mathbb{\sigma}}\right) $ for all j ∈ ? there exists a polyspline S : ? ⁿ⁺¹ → ? of order p on strips such that $$ \left| S\left( t,y\right) -I_{a}\left( t,y\right) \right| \leq a^{2p-1}c\cdot D\cdot\left( 1+\left| t\right| ^{\mathbb{\sigma}}\right) $$ for all y ∈ ? ⁿ , t ∈ ? and all 0 < a ≤ 1.

Congruences involving the Fermat quotient

Let p > 3 be a prime, and let q _p (2) = (2 ^p?1 ? 1)/p be the Fermat quotient of p to base 2. In this note we prove that $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {\frac{1}{{k \cdot {2^k}}}} \equiv {q_p}(2) - \frac{{p{q_p}{{(2)}^2}}}{2} + \frac{{{p^2}{q_p}{{(2)}^3}}}{3} - \frac{7}{{48}}{p^2}{B_{p - 3}}(\bmod {p^3})$$ , which is a generalization of a congruence due to Z.H. Sun. Our proof is based on certain combinatorial identities and congruences for some alternating harmonic sums. Combining the above congruence with two congruences by Z.H. Sun, we show that $${q_p}{(2)^3} \equiv - 3\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {\frac{{{2^k}}}{{{k^3}}}} + \frac{7}{{16}}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{(p - 1)/2} {\frac{1}{{{k^3}}}} (\bmod p)$$ , which is just a result established by K. Dilcher and L. Skula. As another application, we obtain a congruence for the sum $\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\left( {k^2 \cdot 2^k } \right)}}} \right. \kern-0em} {\left( {k^2 \cdot 2^k } \right)}}}$ modulo p ² that also generalizes a related Sun’s congruence modulo p.     

Wachstumsordnung und Index der Lösungen linearer Differentialgleichungen mit rationalen Koeffizienten

Let z=∞ be an irregular singular point of the differential equation wⁿ+p_n?1(z)w^(n?1)+...+p₀(z)w=0 with rational coefficients. The functions of the canonical set of solutions relative to z=∞ are of the form $$w(z) = z^\rho \cdot \sum { d_m (z) (\log z)^m , } \rho \varepsilon \mathbb{C}$$ with univalent functions d_m(z) in a neighbourhood of z=∞. Let λ(w)=max {λ(d_m)} denote the maximal order of growth of an irregular solution relative to z=∞, then it is shown that there exists a branch of w in the plane cut along a half ray, which attains the maximal order λ(w). An important tool for the proof is the index of the branches of w.     

Generalization of the steinhaus problem on the convergence of series with random signs

For series of random variables $\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {a_k x_k }$ ,a _K ∈R ¹, {X _K } _K=1 ^∞ being an Ising system, i.e., for each n ≥ 2 the joint distribution of {X _K } _K=1 ⁿ has the form $$P_n (t_1 ,...,t_n ) = ch^{ - (n - 1)} J \cdot exp(J\sum\limits_{k - 1}^{n - 1} {t_k t_{k + 1} )\prod\limits_{k = 1}^n {\frac{1}{2}\delta (t_{k^{ - 1} }^2 ),J > 0} }$$ one obtains a criterion for almost everywhere convergence: $\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {a_k^2< \infty }$ . The relation between the asymptotic behavior of large deviations of the sum and the rate of decrease of the sequence {a_k} of the coefficients is investigated.     

Laplace-Transformation nichtnegativer und vektorwertiger Maße

Calling a function f: R ₊ ^p →R with $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n { \sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {\alpha _i \alpha _j } f(t_i + t_j )} \geqslant 0 for all (\alpha _1 ,...,\alpha _n ) \varepsilon R^n ,$$ , (t₁,...,t_n∈(R ₊ ^p )ⁿ, n∈? positiv semidefinit, the Laplace-transformations of finite nonnegative measures on R ₊ ^p are charac terised as the continuous bounded positiv semidefinit functions. Let H be a real Hilbertspace. A σ-additive mapping \(M: \mathfrak{B}_ + ^p \to H\) is called an orthogonal measure iff 〈M(A), M(B)?=0 for A∩B=ø. Exactly those mappings Y: R ₊ ^p →H are Laplacetransformations of H-valued orthogonal measures, which are continuous and bounded and for which ?Y(s), Y(t)? is only a function of s + t. Using this result one obtains a representation theorem for continuous semi-grouphomomorphisms defined on R ₊ ^p with values in the “unit intervall” of the selfadjoint operators on H.     

Regularized sums of half-integer powers of a Sturm-Liouville operator

We investigate the question of the regularized sums of part of the eigenvalues z_n (lying along a direction) of a Sturm-Liouville operator. The first regularized sum is $$\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {(z_n - n - \frac{{c_1 }}{n} + \frac{2}{\pi } \cdot z_n arctg \frac{1}{{z_n }} - \frac{2}{\pi }) = \frac{{B_2 }}{2} - c_1 \cdot \gamma + \int_1^\infty {\left[ {R(z) - \frac{{l_0 }}{{\sqrt z }} - \frac{{l_1 }}{z} - \frac{{l_2 }}{{z\sqrt z }}} \right]} } \sqrt z dz,$$ where the z_n are eigenvalues lying along the positive semi-axis, z _n ² =λ_n, $$l_0 = \frac{\pi }{2}, l_1 = - \frac{1}{2}, l_2 = - \frac{1}{4}\int_0^\pi {q(x) dx,} c_1 = - \frac{2}{\pi }l_2 ,$$ , B₂ is a Bernoulli number, γ is Euler's constant, and \(R(z)\) is the trace of the resolvent of a Sturm-Liouville operator.

We study the properties of the limit function of the sequence Q_n(z) in the case when $$f(z) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{z^n }}{{P(1)P(2)...P(n)}}} ,$$ . where P(z) is a polynomial having at least one negative integral root.

Let \(\chi _0^n = \left\{ {X_t } \right\}_0^n \) be a martingale such that 0≦X_i≦1;i=0, …,n. For 0≦p≦1 denote by ? _p ⁿ the set of all such martingales satisfying alsoE(X₀)=p. Thevariation of a martingale χ ₀ ⁿ is denoted byV ₀ ⁿ and defined by \(V(\chi _0^n ) = E\left( {\sum {_{l = 0}^{n - 1} } \left| {X_{l + 1} - X_l } \right|} \right)\) . It is proved that $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \left\{ {\mathop {Sup}\limits_{x_0^n \in \mathcal{M}_p^n } \left[ {\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}V(\chi _0^n )} \right]} \right\} = \phi (p)$$ , where ?(p) is the well known normal density evaluated at itsp-quantile, i.e. $$\phi (p) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }}\exp ( - \frac{1}{2}\chi _p^2 ) where \int_{ - \alpha }^{x_p } {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }}\exp ( - \frac{1}{2}\chi ^2 )} dx = p$$ . A sequence of martingales χ ₀ ⁿ ,n=1,2, … is constructed so as to satisfy \(\lim _{n \to \infty } (1/\sqrt n )V(\chi _0^n ) = \phi (p)\) .

A reciprocity formula for quadratic forms

LetQ(x) denote a quadratic form over the rational integers in four variables (x=(x₁,...,x₄)). ThenQ is representable as a symmetric matrix. Assume this matrix to be non-singular modp(p≠2 prime); then the “inverse” quadratic formQ ^?1 modp can be defined. Letf:?⁴→? be defined such that the Fourier transformf exists and the sum $$\sum\limits_{x \in \mathbb{Z}^4 } {f(c x), c \in \mathbb{R}, c \ne 0} $$ is convergent. Furthermore, letm=p ₁...p _k be the product ofk distinct primes withm>1, 2×m; let $$\varepsilon = \prod\limits_{i = 1}^k {\left( {\frac{{\det Q}}{{p_i }}} \right)} \ne 0$$ for the Legendre symbol $$\left( {\frac{ \cdot }{p}} \right)$$ ; define $$B_i (Q,x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {1 for Q(x) \equiv 0\bmod p_i } \\ , \\ {0 for Q(x)\not \equiv 0\bmod p_i } \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ and forr∈?,r>0, $$F(Q,f,r) = \sum\limits_{x \in \mathbb{Z}^4 } {\left( {\prod\limits_{i = 1}^k {\left( {B_i (Q,x) - \frac{1}{{p_i }}} \right)} } \right)f(r^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} x)} $$ Then we have $$F(Q,f,m) = \varepsilon F(Q^{ - 1} ,\hat f,m)$$      

Limit ultraspherical series and their approximation properties

We study new series of the form $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ in which the general term $f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)$ , k = 0, 1, …, is obtained by passing to the limit as α→?1 from the general term $\hat f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ of the Fourier series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)} $ in Jacobi ultraspherical polynomials $\hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ generating, for α> ?1, an orthonormal system with weight (1 ? x ₂)α on [?1, 1]. We study the properties of the partial sums $S_n^{ - 1} (f,x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^n {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ of the limit ultraspherical series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ . In particular, it is shown that the operator S _n ^?1 (f) = S _n ^?1 (f, x) is the projection onto the subspace of algebraic polynomials p _n = p _n (x) of degree at most n, i.e., S _n (p _n ) = p _n ; in addition, S _n ^?1 (f, x) coincides with f(x) at the endpoints ±1, i.e., S _n ^?1 (f,±1) = f(±1). It is proved that the Lebesgue function Λ _n (x) of the partial sums S _n ^?1 (f, x) is of the order of growth equal to O(ln n), and, more precisely, it is proved that $\Lambda _n (x) \leqslant c(1 + \ln (1 + n\sqrt {1 - x^2 } )), - 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 1$ .
