New estimates of continuity in $$M/GI/1/ \infty$$ queues

The paper deals with an estimation of the total variation distance between stationary distributions of waiting time in two queueing systems with equal Poisson inputs and different distributions B and $\widetilde B$ of service time. Assuming equality of two first moments of B and $\widetilde B$ the continuity inequalities are derived in terms of difference pseudomoments of B and $\widetilde B$ . When in addition the third moments of B and $\widetilde B$ coincide then the constant involved in the corresponding inequality has the asymptotics ${\text{O}}\left[ {\left( {1 - \rho } \right)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} } \right]$ in the heavy traffic limit $\rho \to 1$ .     

Classical Limit of the Scaled Elliptic Algebra \mathcal{A} ħ,η (\widetilde{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_2)

The classical limit of the scaled elliptic algebra $\mathcal{A}$ ?,η ( $\widetilde{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_2$ ) is investigated. The limiting Lie algebra is described in two equivalent ways: as a central extension of the algebra of generalized automorphic sl2 valued functions on a strip and as an extended algebra of decreasing automorphic sl2 valued functions on the real line. A bialgebra structure and an infinite-dimensional representation in the Fock space are studied. The classical limit of elliptic algebra $\mathcal{A}$ q,p ( $\widetilde{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_2$ ) is also briefly presented.     

Domination in Bipartite Graphs and in Their Complements

The domatic numbers of a graph G and of its complement $\bar G$ were studied by J. E. Dunbar, T. W. Haynes and M. A. Henning. They suggested four open problems. We will solve the following ones: Characterize bipartite graphs G having $d\left( G \right) = d\left( {\bar G} \right)$ Further, we will present a partial solution to the problem: Is it true that if G is a graph satisfying $d\left( G \right) = d\left( {\bar G} \right)$ then $\gamma \left( G \right) = \gamma \left( {\bar G} \right)$ ? Finally, we prove an existence theorem concerning the total domatic number of a graph and of its complement     

Orthogonality properties of linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials II

Let and be polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the measures dσ and dμ, respectively. In this paper we consider the question how the orthogonality measures dσ and dμ are related to each other if the orthogonal polynomials are connected by a relation of the form , for , where . It turns out that the two measures are related by if , where and are known trigonometric polynomials of fixed degree and where the 's are the zeros of on . If the 's and 's are uniformly bounded then (under some additional conditions) much more can be said. Indeed, in this case the measures dσ and dμ have to be of the form and , respectively, where are nonnegative trigonometric polynomials. Finally, the question is considered to which weight functions polynomials of the form where denotes the reciprocal polynomial of , can be orthogonal. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Strongly Exposed Points of Decomposable Sets in Spaces of Bochner Integrable Functions

A characterization of strongly exposed points of a decomposable bounded closed convex set $\Gamma \subset L_p (T,X)$ , where $1 \leqslant p < \infty $ , in terms of strongly exposed points of values of the set-valued representation $F:T \to 2^X $ of $\Gamma $ is given. As a corollary, necessary conditions characterizing strongly exposed points of the unit ball in $L_p (T,X) $ , where $1 \leqslant p < \infty $ , in terms of strongly exposed points of the unit ball in X are obtained.     

The Groupoidal Analogue \widetilde{{\Theta}} to Joyal’s Category Θ is a Test Category

We introduce the groupoidal analogue $\widetilde{\Theta}$ to Joyal’s cell category Θ and we prove that $\widetilde{\Theta}$ is a strict test category in the sense of Grothendieck. This implies that presheaves on $\widetilde{\Theta}$ model homotopy types in a canonical way. We also prove that the canonical functor from Θ to $\widetilde{\Theta}$ is aspherical, again in the sense of Grothendieck. This allows us to compare weak equivalences of presheaves on $\widetilde{\Theta}$ to weak equivalences of presheaves on Θ. Our proofs apply to other categories analogous to Θ.     

Lower Bounds for the Riemann Zeta Function on the Critical Line

We establish a relation between the lower bound for the maximum of the modulus of $\zeta (1/2 + iT + s)$ in the disk $|s| \leqslant H$ and the lower bound for the maximum of the modulus of $\zeta (1/2 + iT + it)$ on the closed interval $|t| \leqslant H$ for $0 < H(T) \leqslant {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}$ . We prove a theorem on the lower bound for the maximum of the modulus of $0 < H(T) \leqslant {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}$ on the closed interval $|t| \leqslant H$ for $40 \leqslant H(T) \leqslant \log \log T$ .     

Codimension 1 Subvarieties of {\mathcal{M}_g } and Real Gonality of Real Curves

Let ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ be the moduli space of smooth complex projective curves of genus g. Here we prove that the subset of ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ formed by all curves for which some Brill-Noether locus has dimension larger than the expected one has codimension at least two in ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ . As an application we show that if ${X \in \mathcal{M}_g }$ is defined over $\mathbb{R}$ then there exists a low degree pencil ${u:X \to \mathbb{P}^1 }$ defined over $\mathbb{R}.$      

Converse Quadrature sum Inequalities for Freud Weights. ii

Let $W: = \exp \left( { - Q} \right)$ , where $Q$ is of smooth polynomial growth at $\infty$ , for example $Q\left( x \right) = \left| x \right|^\beta ,\beta >1$ . We call $W^2 $ a Freud weight. Let $\left\{ {x_{j{\kern 1pt} n} } \right\}_{j = 1}^n $ and $\left\{ {\lambda _{j{\kern 1pt} n} } \right\}_{j = 1}^n $ denote respectively the zeros of the $n$ th orthonormal polynomial $p_n$ for $W^2 $ and the Christoffel numbers of order $n$ . We establish converse quadrature sum inequalities associated with W, such as $$\left\| {\left( {PW} \right)\left( x \right)\left( {1 + \left| x \right|} \right)^r } \right\|_{L_p \left( R \right)} $$ with $C$ independent of $n$ and polynomials P of degree $ < n$ , and suitable restrictions on $r$ , $R$ . We concentrate on the case ${ \geqq 4}$ , as the case ${p < 4}$ was handled earlier. We are able to treat a general class of Freud weights, whereas our earlier treatment dealt essentially with $\left( { - \left| x \right|^\beta } \right),\beta = 2,4,6,....$ Some applications to Lagrange interpolation are presented.     

Point Symmetric 2-Structures

We show that every symmetric 2-structure ${(P,\mathfrak G_1,\mathfrak G_2,\mathfrak K)}$ of the class (III) [cf. Karzel H et?al. (Result. Math., submitted)] is point symmetric, i.e. any two orthogonal chains ${A,B \in \mathfrak K}$ intersect in exactly one point and that any two points ${a,b \in P}$ have exactly one midpoint m :?=?a * b (with ${\widetilde m(a) = b}$ where ${\widetilde m}$ is the unique symmetry in the point m). ${ \widetilde{P} := \{\widetilde p \ | \ p \in P \}}$ is invariant, i.e. ${\forall a,b \in P : \widetilde a\circ \widetilde b\circ \widetilde a \in \widetilde P}$ . Therefore the pair ${(P,\widetilde{P})}$ is an invariant regular involution set and the loop derivation in a point ${o \in P}$ gives a K-loop (P,?+) uniquely 2-divisible.     

Representation of Integers by Positive Quaternary Quadratic Forms

Let $f(x,y,x,w) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + Dw^2$ , where $D >1$ is an integer such that $D \ne d^2$ and ${{\sqrt n } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\sqrt n } {\sqrt D = n^\theta , 0 < \theta < {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}}}} \right. \kern-0em} {\sqrt D = n^\theta , 0 < \theta < {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}}}$ . Let $rf(n)$ be the number of representations of n by f. It is proved that $r_f (n) = \pi ^2 \frac{n}{{\sqrt D }}\sigma _f (n) + O\left( {\frac{{n^{1 + \varepsilon - c(\theta )} }}{{\sqrt D }}} \right),$ where $\sigma _f (n)$ is the singular series, $c(\theta ) >0$ , and ε is an arbitrarily small positive constant.

A-Systems, Independent Functions, and Sets Bounded in Spaces of Measurable Functions

Let $U \subset L_o ([0,1],\mathcal{M},m)$ be a set of Lebesgue measurable functions. Suppose also that two seminormed spaces of real number sequences are given: $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ . We study $\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ -sets U defined by the classes $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ as follows: $\forall a = (a_n ) \in \mathcal{A}, \forall (f_n (t)) \in u^\mathbb{N} $ (or for sequences similar to $(f_n (t))$ ) $\exists E = E(a) \subset [0,1], mE = 1$ such that $\{ a_n f_n (t)\} 1_E (t)\} \in \mathcal{B}, t \in [0,1]$ . We consider three versions of the definition of $\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ -sets, one of which is based on functions independent in the probability sense. The case ${\mathcal{B}}=l_\infty$ is studied in detail. It is shown that $({\mathcal{A}},l_\infty)$ -independent sets are sets bounded or order bounded in some well-known function spaces (L _p , L _p,q , etc.) constructed with respect to the Lebesgue measure. A characterization of such sets in terms of seminormed spaces of number sequences is given. The (l ₁,c _°)- and $(\mathcal{A},l_1 )$ -sets were studied by E. M. Nikishin.     

Periodic Abelian Groups with $$UA$$ -Rings of Endomorphisms

A ring $R$ is said to be a unique addition ring (a $UA$ -ring) if its multiplicative semigroup $(R,{\text{ }} \cdot )$ can uniquely be endowed with a binary operation $ +$ in such a way that $(R,{\text{ }} \cdot ,{\text{ }} + )$ becomes a ring. An Abelian group is said to be an ${\text{End - }}UA$ -group if the endomorphism ring of the group is a $UA$ -ring. In the paper we study conditions under which an Abelian group is an ${\text{End - }}UA$ -group.     

Boundedness of Generalized Riesz Transforms on Orlicz–Hardy Spaces Associated to Operators

Let ${\Phi}$ be a continuous, strictly increasing and concave function on (0, ∞) of critical lower type index ${p_\Phi^- \in(0,\,1]}$ . Let L be an injective operator of type ω having a bounded H _∞ functional calculus and satisfying the k-Davies–Gaffney estimates with ${k \in {\mathbb Z}_+}$ . In this paper, the authors first introduce an Orlicz–Hardy space ${H^{\Phi}_{L}(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ in terms of the non-tangential L-adapted square function and then establish its molecular characterization. As applications, the authors prove that the generalized Riesz transform ${D_{\gamma}L^{-\delta/(2k)}}$ is bounded from the Orlicz–Hardy space ${H^{\Phi}_{L}(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ to the Orlicz space ${L^{\widetilde{\Phi}}(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ when ${p_\Phi^- \in (0, \frac{n}{n+ \delta - \gamma}]}$ , ${0 < \gamma \le \delta < \infty}$ and ${\delta- \gamma < n (\frac{1}{p_-(L)}-\frac{1}{p_+(L)})}$ , or from ${H^{\Phi}_{L}(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ to the Orlicz–Hardy space ${H^{\widetilde \Phi}(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ when ${p_\Phi^-\in (\frac{n}{n + \delta+ \lfloor \gamma \rfloor- \gamma},\,\frac{n}{n+ \delta- \gamma}]}$ , ${1\le \gamma \le \delta < \infty}$ and ${\delta- \gamma < n (\frac{1}{p_-(L)}-\frac{1}{p_+(L)})}$ , or from ${H^{\Phi}_{L}(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ to the weak Orlicz–Hardy space ${WH^\Phi(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ when ${\gamma = \delta}$ and ${p_\Phi=n/(n + \lfloor \gamma \rfloor)}$ or ${p_\Phi^-=n/(n + \lfloor \gamma \rfloor)}$ with ${p_\Phi^-}$ attainable, where ${\widetilde{\Phi}}$ is an Orlicz function whose inverse function ${\widetilde{\Phi}^{-1}}$ is defined by ${\widetilde{\Phi}^{-1}(t):=\Phi^{-1}(t)t^{\frac{1}{n}(\gamma- \delta)}}$ for all ${t \in (0,\,\infty)}$ , ${p_\Phi}$ denotes the strictly critical lower type index of ${\Phi}$ , ${\lfloor \gamma \rfloor}$ the maximal integer not more than ${\gamma}$ and ${(p_-(L),\,p_+(L))}$ the range of exponents ${p \in[1,\, \infty]}$ for which the semigroup ${\{e^{-tL}\}_{t >0 }}$ is bounded on ${L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ .     

A Characterization of Projective Spaces by a Set of Planes

This note deals with the following question: How many planes of a linear space (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) must be known as projective planes to ensure that (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a projective space? The following answer is given: If for any subset M of a linear space (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) the restriction (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ )(M)) is locally complete, and if for every plane E of (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ (M)) the plane $\bar E$ generated by E is a projective plane, then (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a projective space (cf. 5.6). Or more generally: If for any subset M of P the restriction (M, $\mathfrak{L}$ (M)) is locally complete, and if for any two distinct coplanar lines G1, G2 ∈ $\mathfrak{L}$ (M) the lines $\bar G_1 ,\bar G_2 \varepsilon \mathfrak{L}$ generated by G1, G2 have a nonempty intersection and $\overline {G_1 \cup {\text{ }}G_2 }$ satisfies the exchange condition, then (P, $\mathfrak{L}$ ) is a generalized projective space.
