Subsets with Restricted Movement

Let G be a finite permutation group on a set with no fixed points in and let m and k be integers with 0 < m < k. For a finite subset of the movement of is defined as move() = max_gG| ^g \ |. Suppose further that G is not a 2-group and that p is the least odd prime dividing |G| and move() m for all k-element subsets of . Then either || k + m or k (7m – 5) / 2, || (9m – 3)/2. Moreover when || > k + m, then move() m for every subset of .     

Charakterisierung semisimplizialer Mengen durch Unterteilung und Graphen

We define a subdivision functor G for semisimplicial sets such that GXGY implies XY for all pairs of semisimplicial sets X, Y and (GX)¹(GY)¹ implies XY, too, but only, as far as we know, for pairs of weakly degenerate semisimplicial sets X, Y. These results are analogous to theorems on simplicial complexes which have been proved by Finney [1] and Segal [6].

Quasianapole Interaction of Charged Fermions

We obtain the analytic expression for the total cross section of the reaction e ^– e ⁺l ^– l ⁺ (l=,) taking possible quasianapole interaction effects into account. We find numerical restrictions on the interaction parameter value from data for the reaction e ^– e ^+–+ in the energy domain below the Z ⁰ peak.     

Factorization of a selfadjoint nonanalytic operator function II. Single spectral zone

We consider a selfadjoint and smooth enough operator-valued functionL() on the segment [a, b]. LetL(a)0,L(b)0, and there exist two positive numbers and such that the inequality |(L()f, f)|< ([a, b] f=1) implies the inequality (L'()f, f)>. Then the functionL() admits a factorizationL()=M()(I-Z) whereM() is a continuous and invertible on [a, b] operator-valued function, and operatorZ is similar to a selfadjoint one. This result was obtained in the first part of the present paper [10] under a stronge conditionL()0 ( [a,b]). For analytic functionL() the result of this paper was obtained in [13].     

Convolution semigroups and central limit theorem associated with a dual convolution structure

We consider hypergroups associated with Jacobi functions ⁽⁾ (x), (–1/2). We prove the existence of a dual convolution structure on [0,+[i(]0,s ₀]{{) =++1,s ₀=min(,–+1). Next we establish a Lévy-Khintchine type formula which permits to characterize the semigroup and the infinitely divisible probabilities associated with this dual convolution, finally we prove a central limit theorem.     

A chord-stretching map of a convex loop is an isometry

Let ⁿ be n-dimensional Euclidean space, and let : [0, L] ⁿ and : [0, L] ⁿ be closed rectifiable arcs in ⁿ of the same total length L which are parametrized via their arc length. is said to be a chord-stretched version of if for each 0s tL, |(t)–(s)| |(t)–(s)|. is said to be convex if is simple and if ([0, L]) is the frontier of some plane convex set. Individual work by Professors G. Choquet and G. T. Sallee demonstrated that if were simple then there existed a convex chord-stretched version of . This result led Professor Yang Lu to conjecture that if were convex and were a chord-stretched version of then and would be congruent, i.e. any chord-stretching map of a convex arc is an isometry. Professor Yang Lu has proved this conjecture in the case where and are C ² curves. In this paper we prove the conjecture in general.

Local isometric immersions of two-dimensional metrics inE 4 with prescribed Gaussian torsion

Suppose that in a domain R(, B) of variables (r, ): (0 r , ₁ +B(r–r ₀ ) ₂–B(r–r₀), where > 0, B > 0, ₁ < 0 < ₂ are numbers) a metric ds² = dr² +G(r, )d ² and a function k(r, ) are given. The problem of isometrically immersing ds² in E ⁴ with prescribed Gaussian torsion is considered. The following is proved: The class C ⁵ metric ds ² is locally realized in the form of a class C ³ surface F ² whose Gaussian torsion is the prescribed class C ³ function (r, ).Translated from Ukrainskii Geometricheskii Sbornik, No. 35, pp. 38–47, 1992.

On convection with nearly insulating boundaries in a low Prandtl number fluid

Summary For the Prandtl numberP in the rangeP ^1/3 1 ( is the ratio between the thermal conductivities of the boundary and of the fluid) two-dimensional rolls are preferred in contrast to square-pattern convection that represents the preferred stable convection in the rangeP ^1/3.

Smoothness of Nonlinear Median-Interpolation Subdivision

We give a refined analysis of the Hölder regularity for the limit functions arising from a nonlinear pyramid algorithm for robust removal of non-Gaussian noise proposed by Donoho and Yu [6,7,17]. The synthesis part of this algorithm can be interpreted as a nonlinear triadic subdivision scheme where new points are inserted based on local quadratic polynomial median interpolation and imputation. We introduce the analogon of the Donoho–Yu scheme for dyadic refinement, and show that its limit functions are in C for >log₄(128/31)=1.0229.... In the triadic case, we improve the lower bound of >log₂(135/121)=0.0997... previously obtained in [6] to >log₃(135/53)=0.8510.... These lower bounds are relatively close to the anticipated upper bounds of log₂(16/7)=1.1982... in the dyadic, respectivly 1 in the triadic cases, and have been obtained by deriving recursive inequalities for the norm of second rather than first order differences of the sequences arising in the subdivision process.     

A complete asymptotic expansion of the jacobi functions with error bounds

In this paper we give a complete asymptotic expansion of the Jacobi functions ^{(, )} (t) as + . The method we employed to get the complete expansion follows that of Olver in treating similar problems. By using a Gronwall-Bellman type inequality for an improper integral in which the integrand is an unbounded function and contains a parameter, we get an error bound of the asymptotic approximation which is different from that of Olver's.     

Lipschitz and darbo conditions for the superposition operator in ideal spaces

Summary In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the superposition operator Fx(s)=f(s, x(s)) to satisfy a Lipschitz condition Fx₁ - Fx₂kx₁ - x₂ or a Darbo condition (FN)k(N) in ideal spaces of measurable functions, where is the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. Moreover, we characterize a large class of spaces in which the above mentioned two conditions are equivalent.

Sunto In questo lavoro diamo delle condizioni necessarie e sufficienti perchè l'operatore di sovrapposizione Fx(s)=f (s, x(s)) soddisfi alla condizione di Lipschitz Fx₁–Fx₂ kx₁–x₂ o quella di Darbo (FN)k(N) in spazi ideali di funzioni misurabili, ove è la misura di non compattezza di Hausdorff. Inoltre, caratterizziamo un'ampia classe di spazi in cui le suddette due condizioni sono equivalenti.

Positivity and Stability for One-Sided Coupled Operator Matrices

Many evolutionary systems can be described by an abstract Cauchy problem governed by an operator matrix. Assuming this problem to be one-sided coupled and well-posed we study in this paper the positivity and the stability of the associated matrix semigroup. The abstract results are illustrated by several examples.

“Quasiphotons” in an active medium

We consider the propagation of concentrated wave packets along space-time rays for the case of frequency-dependent velocity: c=c_o(x,t)+c₁(x,t,), 1. The complex ray method is applied to construct formal asymptotic expansions. It is shown that these packets may propagate only at certain medium-determined frequencies.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.
