Remark on the Helly number for strongly convex sets on Riemannian manifolds

Replacing convex by strongly convex we show that Helly's famous intersection theorem holds on every Riemannian n-manifold in the following form: The intersection of k relatively compact, strongly convex subsets of M (kn+i2) is nonvoid as soon as any n+i of these sets have a nonvoid intersection, where i=2 if M is homeomorphic to the standard n-sphere and i=1 otherwise.     

Sur la répartition des valeurs de la fonction d'Euler

Let (x) denote the number of those integers n with (n) x, where denotes the Euler function. Improving on a well-known estimate of Bateman (1972), we show that (x)-Ax R(x), where A=(2)(3)/(6) and R(x) is essentially of the size of the best available estimate for the remainder term in the prime number theorem.     

An infinite dimensional analogue of the Albeverio-Röckner's theorem on Fukushima's conjecture

LetX be the solution of the SDE:dX _t = (X _t)dB _t +b(X _t)dt, with andb C _b (R) such that >0 for some constant , andB a real Brownian motion. Let be the law ofX onE=C([0, 1],R) andk E* – {0}, whereE* is the topological dual space ofE. Consider the classical form: _k (u, v)=u / kv / kd, whereu andv are smooth functions onE. We prove that, if _k is closable for anyk in a dense subset ofE* and if the smooth functions are contained in the domain of the generator of the closure of _k , must be a constant function.     

Eine Verallgemeinerung des Satzes vom abgeschlossenen Wertebereich in lokalkonvexen Räumen

This paper extends Kato's proof [5] of Banach's closed range theorem to locally convex spaces. Thus we consider a locally convex space (E,) and pairs (M,N) of closed subspaces. We call such a pair -open, if and only if there exists a directed, total system of seminorms generating the topology induced by a on M+N, such that the minimal gap _p(M,N)>O for each p. Our main result is a generalisation of the closed range theorem and it consists of statements on relationships between the following properties: (a) M+N -closed, (b) M+N (E,E)-closed, (c) M+N (E,E)-closed, (d) (M,N) -open, (e) (M,N) (E,E)-open, (f) (M,N) (E,E)-open, (g) (M,N) (E,E)-open, (h) M+N=(MN), (i) M+N=(MN).By specialising the space (E,) and the subspaces M,N, our generalisation includes the closed range theorems of Dieudonné and Schwartz [4], Browder [1] and Mochizuki [12]. It is shown that these theorems not only hold for closed linear operators but even for closed linear relations. We are therefore able to obtain closed domain theorems which extend Brown's examinations in Banach-spaces [2] to locally convex spaces.

Equivariant framability of involutions on homotopy spheres

Let G be the group Z₂. Denote byR ^n,k theR ^n+k with non trivial G-action on the first n coordinates. Let ^n,k be the trivial bundle with fibreR ^n,k. We say that a G-manifold M is (n,k)-framable if t(M)= =^n,k in KO_G(M) with t(M) the tangent bundle of M. We show that if G acts on a homotopy sphere ^n+k such that the fixed point set is a k-dimensional homotopy sphere then is (n,k)-framable.

The lyapunov equation and the problem of stability for linear bounded discrete-time systems in Hilbert space

This paper is devoted to a study of the properties of the equationA ^*FA–F=–G, where FL() is unknown, AL(), GL() is positive and is a Hilbert space. It is shown that necessary and sufficient (in some sense) conditions for the existence of positive definite solutions of this equation are directly connected with the stability of infinite dimensional linear systemx _k+1=Ax _k . The relationships between stability of such a system and stability of a continuous-time system generated by a strongly continuous semigroup are given also. As an example the case of the delayed system in Rⁿ is considered.This work was supported in part by the Polish Academy of Sciences under the contract Problem Miedzyresortowy I.1, Grupa Tematyczna 3 This paper was written while the author was with the Instytut Automatyki, the same university.     

Subalgebras that are cyclic as submodules

Let R be an associative, commutative, unital ring. By a R-algebra we mean a unital R-module A together with a R-module homomorphism : _R ⁿ AA (n2). We raise the question whether such an algebra possesses either an idempotent or a nilpotent element. In section 1 an affirmative answer is obtained in case R=k is an algebraically closed field and dim_kA<, as well as in case R=, dimS<, and n0(2). Section 2 deals with the case of reduced rings R and R-algebras which are finitely generated and projective as R-modules. In section 3 we show that the generic algebra over an integral domain D fails to have nilpotent elements in any integral domain extending its base ring D_n,m, and thus acquires an idempotent element in some integral domain extending D_n,m.Partially supported by National Science Foundation Grant GP-38229.     

On Shikata's distance between differentiable structures

Shikata proved: there is a number (n) with the following property: If two compact homeomorphic n-dimensional manifolds have a distance less than (n), then they are diffeomorphic. We improve the known lower bound (n!)^–n for (n) to 1/3n ^–2.This work was done under the program Sonderforschungsbereich Theoretische Mathematik (SFB 40) at Bonn University while Shikata was SFB-guest at Bonn.     

Spectral parameter asymptotics of the Weyl solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations

In the paper one investigates the dependence of Weyl's solution ,)=c(,)+n()s(,) of the Sturm-Liouville equation y+q()y=²y on the spectral parameter . Under the condition that the potential q is bounded from below and q()exp(c₀+c[in1 ¦¦), it is proved for {ie217-01} for any positive values and A. If q()>1 and {ie217-02} for all >0, then in the semiplane >0 the Weyl solution (, ) is obtained from the Weyl solution (,x) is obtained from the Weyl solution e^ix with zero potential, with the aid of a generalization of B. Ya Levin's transformation operators.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Semiovals with large collinear subsets

Asemioval in a projective plane is a setS of points such that for every pointP S, there exists a unique line of such thatS={P}. In other words, at every point ofS, there exists a unique tangent line.In this paper, we consider semiovals such that some line has a large intersection withS. In a finite plane it is shown that no semioval can contain a full line, and that apart from two small cases, no semioval can contain all but one point of some line. We then consider semiovals which contain all but two points of some line, providing some examples and characterizations.

A conditional dilatation equation

Summary The following theorem holds true. Theorem. Let X be a normed real vector space of dimension 3 and let k > 0 be a fixed real number. Suppose that f: X X and g: X × X are functions satisfying x – y = k f(x) – f(y) = g(x, y)(x – y) for all x, y X. Then there exist elements and t X such that f(x) = x + t for all x X and such that g(x, y) = for all x, y X with x – y = k.     

On the almost everywhere convergence of ergodic averages for power-bounded operators on LP-subspaces

Let X be a closed subspace of L^P(), where is an arbitrary measure and 1A(n) and (n) denote the discrete ergodic averages and Hilbert transform truncates defined by U. We extend to this setting the -a. e. convergence criteria forA(n) and (n) which V. F. Gaposhkin and R. Jajte introduced for unitary operators on L²(). Our methods lift the setting from X to ^p, where classical harmonic analysis and interpolation can be applied to suitable square functions.     

Asymptotics of the Discrete Spectrum of the Three-Particle Schrödinger Difference Operator on a Lattice

We consider the Hamiltonian H (K) of a system consisting of three bosons that interact through attractive pair contact potentials on a three-dimensional integer lattice. We obtain an asymptotic value for the number N(K,z) of eigenvalues of the operator H₀(K) lying below z0 with respect to the total quasimomentum K0 and the spectral parameter z–0.     

Beitrag zur Reduktion des Entscheidungsproblems auf Klassen von Hornformeln mit kurzen Alternationen

Ohne Zusammenfassung Zusatz bei der Korrektur: Ein vollständiger und korrekter Beweis für die Entscheidbarkeit der eingangs angeführten Aanderaaschen Klasse ((0, ), (, , ...)) erscheint demnächst im JSL (S.O. Aanderaa/H.R.Lewis: Prefix classes of Krom formulas). Ebendort wird auch die Reduktionstypeneigenschaft für ((0, ), (0, 0, )) und ((0, )), (0, 0, )) nachgewiesen, während ((0, ), (, )) sich als entscheidbar herausgestellt hat (s. E. Börger: Eine entscheidbare Klasse von Kromformeln. ZMLG 19 (1973), 117–120.) Der Kromsche Reduktionstyp konnte mittlerweile einerseits zu ((0, ), (0, 4)) verschärft werden (s. D. Rödding, E. Börger: The undecidability of (0, 4)-formulae with binary disjunctions, vorgetragen auf dem Logic Coll. Bristol 1973, ein abstract erscheint im JSL), andererseits kündigt H.R.Lewis die Reduktionstypeneigenschaft für ((0, ), (0, 1)) an (s. H.R.Lewis: Krom formulas with one dyadic predicate letter. Notices AMS 20, 5 (1973) A-500, abstr. no. 73T-E78.)Dieser Aufsatz geht aus der Dissertation [2] hervor, die dem Fachbereich Mathematik der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Münster im Sommersemester 1971 vorgelegt worden ist. Die Ergebnisse stammen aus dem Wintersemester 1970/71. Eine Ankündigung der hauptsächlichen Resultate ist in den Notices of the American Mathematical Society 19, 2 (1972) A-333 unter der abstract no. * 72T-E24 erschienen.
