Pointwise estimates for Lagrange interpolation polynomials

Let f ∈ C[?1, 1]. Let the approximation rate of Lagrange interpolation polynomial of f based on the nodes $ \left\{ {\cos \frac{{2k - 1}} {{2n}}\pi } \right\} \cup \{ - 1,1\} $ be Δ _{n + 2}(f, x). In this paper we study the estimate of Δ _{n + 2}(f,x), that keeps the interpolation property. As a result we prove that $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\ln (n + 1) + \omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|} \right)} \right\}, $$ where T _n (x) = cos (n arccos x) is the Chebeyshev polynomial of first kind. Also, if f ∈ C ^r [?1, 1] with r ≧ 1, then $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {{n^r }}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\omega \left( {f^{(r)} ,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left( {\left( {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } + \frac{1} {n}} \right)^{r - 1} \ln (n + 1) + 1} \right)} \right\}. $$      

Lower bounds for the modulus of the logarithmic derivative of a polynomial

Estimates are given for the measure of a section of an arbitrary straight line of the set $$E_\delta = \left\{ {z:\left| {P' {{\left( z \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( z \right)} {\left( {nP \left( z \right)} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {nP \left( z \right)} \right)}} \leqslant \delta } \right|} \right\} \left( {\delta > 0} \right)$$ where P (z) is a polynomial of degree n. THEOREM. Suppose P (x) = (x ? x₁) ... (x ? x_n) is a polynomial with real zeros. Then, for any δ > 0, on any intervala ?x ?b, containing all of the x_k (k=1, 2, ..., n), outside an exceptional set E_δ?[a,b] such that $$mes E_\delta \leqslant \left( {\sqrt {1 + \delta ^2 \left( {b - a} \right)^2 } - 1} \right)/\delta $$ , we have the inequality $$\left| {P' {{\left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( x \right)} {\left( {nP \left( x \right)} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {nP \left( x \right)} \right)}}} \right| > \delta $$ . A similar estimate is given for polynomials whose roots lie either in Imz ? 0 or in Imz ? 0.     

Some estimates of differentiable functions

Suppose thatx(t) ∈ C _[a,b ^(n)] and has n zeros at the pointsa and b. It is shown that if x⁽ⁿ⁾(t) preserves sign on [a, b], then $$\left| {x\left( t \right)} \right| \geqslant \frac{{p_0 }}{{n - 1}}\mathop {\left[ {\mathop {\sup }\limits_{\tau \in \left( {a, b} \right)} \frac{{\left| {x\left( \tau \right)} \right|}}{{\left( {\tau - a} \right)^{p - 1} \left( {b - \tau } \right)^{q - 1} }}} \right]}\limits_{\left( {a< t< b} \right),} \left( {t - a} \right)^p \left( {b - t} \right)^q $$ where p and q are the multiplicities of the zeros of x(t) ata and b, respectively, and p_o=min{p,q}. Two-sided estimates of the Green's function for a two-point interpolation problem for the operator Lx ≡ x⁽ⁿ⁾ are established in the proof. As an application, new conditions for the solvability of de la Vallée Poussin's two-point boundary problems are obtained.     

The densities for 3-ranks of tame kernels of cyclic cubic number fields

Let F be a cubic cyclic field with t(2)ramified primes.For a finite abelian group G,let r3(G)be the 3-rank of G.If 3 does not ramify in F,then it is proved that t-1 r3(K2O F)2t.Furthermore,if t is fixed,for any s satisfying t-1 s 2t-1,there is always a cubic cyclic field F with exactly t ramified primes such that r3(K2O F)=s.It is also proved that the densities for 3-ranks of tame kernels of cyclic cubic number fields satisfy a Cohen-Lenstra type formula d∞,r=3-r2∞k=1(1-3-k)r k=1(1-3-k)2.This suggests that the Cohen-Lenstra conjecture for ideal class groups can be extended to the tame kernels of cyclic cubic number fields.     

On the best constants in the Khintchine inequality for Steinhaus variables

Let S _j : (Ω, P) → S ¹ ? ? be an i.i.d. sequence of Steinhaus random variables, i.e. variables which are uniformly distributed on the circle S ¹. We determine the best constants a _p in the Khintchine-type inequality $${a_p}{\left\| x \right\|_2} \leqslant {\left( {{\text{E}}{{\left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|}^p}} \right)^{1/p}} \leqslant {\left\| x \right\|_2};{\text{ }}x = ({x_j})_{j = 1}^n \in {{\Bbb C}^n}$$ for 0 < p < 1, verifying a conjecture of U. Haagerup that $${a_p} = \min \left( {\Gamma {{\left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)}^{1/p}},\sqrt 2 {{\left( {{{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right)}^{1/p}}} \right)$$ . Both expressions are equal for p = p ₀ }~ 0.4756. For p ≥ 1 the best constants a _p have been known for some time. The result implies for a norm 1 sequence x ∈ ? ⁿ , ‖x‖₂ = 1, that $${\text{E}}\ln \left| {\frac{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right| \leqslant {\text{E}}\ln \left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|$$ , answering a question of A. Baernstein and R. Culverhouse.

A note on skew characters of symmetric groups

In this paper we establish the following estimate:

$$\omega \left( {\left\{ {x \in {\mathbb{R}^n}:\left| {\left[ {b,T} \right]f\left( x \right)} \right| > \lambda } \right\}} \right) \leqslant \frac{{{c_T}}}{{{\varepsilon ^2}}}\int_{{\mathbb{R}^n}} {\Phi \left( {{{\left\| b \right\|}_{BMO}}\frac{{\left| {f\left( x \right)} \right|}}{\lambda }} \right){M_{L{{\left( {\log L} \right)}^{1 + \varepsilon }}}}} \omega \left( x \right)dx$$

where ω ≥ 0, 0 < ε < 1 and Φ(t) = t(1 + log⁺(t)). This inequality relies upon the following sharp L ^p estimate:

$${\left\| {\left[ {b,T} \right]f} \right\|_{{L^p}\left( \omega \right)}} \leqslant {c_T}{\left( {p'} \right)^2}{p^2}{\left( {\frac{{p - 1}}{\delta }} \right)^{\frac{1}{{p'}}}}{\left\| b \right\|_{BMO}}{\left\| f \right\|_{{L^p}\left( {{M_{L{{\left( {{{\log }_L}} \right)}^{2p - 1 + {\delta ^\omega }}}}}} \right)}}$$

where 1 < p < ∞, ω ≥ 0 and 0 < δ < 1. As a consequence we recover the following estimate essentially contained in [18]:

$$\omega \left( {\left\{ {x \in {\mathbb{R}^n}:\left| {\left[ {b,T} \right]f\left( x \right)} \right| > \lambda } \right\}} \right) \leqslant {c_T}{\left[ \omega \right]_{{A_\infty }}}{\left( {1 + {{\log }^ + }{{\left[ \omega \right]}_{{A_\infty }}}} \right)^2}\int_{{\mathbb{R}^n}} {\Phi \left( {{{\left\| b \right\|}_{BMO}}\frac{{\left| {f\left( x \right)} \right|}}{\lambda }} \right)M} \omega \left( x \right)dx.$$

We also obtain the analogue estimates for symbol-multilinear commutators for a wider class of symbols.

     

Higher moments of the error term in the divisor problem

It is proved that, if k ≥ 2 is a fixed integer and 1 ? H ≤ (1/2)X, then $$ \int_{X - H}^{X + H} {\Delta _k^4 \left( x \right) } dx \ll _\varepsilon X^\varepsilon \left( {HX^{{{\left( {2k - 2} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {2k - 2} \right)} k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k}} + H^{{{\left( {2k - 3} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {2k - 3} \right)} {\left( {2k + 1} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {2k + 1} \right)}}} X^{{{\left( {8k - 8} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {8k - 8} \right)} {\left( {2k + 1} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {2k + 1} \right)}}} } \right), $$ where Δ _k (x) is the error term in the general Dirichlet divisor problem. The proof uses a Voronoï-type formula for Δ _k (x), and the bound of Robert-Sargos for the number of integers when the difference of four kth roots is small. The size of the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mth moment of Δ₂(x) is also investigated.     

The prime-counting function and its analytic approximations

The paper describes a systematic computational study of the prime counting function π(x) and three of its analytic approximations: the logarithmic integral \({\text{li}}{\left( x \right)}: = {\int_0^x {\frac{{dt}}{{\log \,t}}} }\), \({\text{li}}{\left( x \right)} - \frac{1}{2}{\text{li}}{\left( {{\sqrt x }} \right)}\), and \(R{\left( x \right)}: = {\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^\infty {{\mu {\left( k \right)}{\text{li}}{\left( {x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k}} } \right)}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\mu {\left( k \right)}{\text{li}}{\left( {x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k}} } \right)}} k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k} }\), where μ is the Möbius function. The results show that π(x)x) for 2≤x≤10¹⁴, and also seem to support several conjectures on the maximal and average errors of the three approximations, most importantly \({\left| {\pi {\left( x \right)} - {\text{li}}{\left( x \right)}} \right|} < x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}}\) and \( - \frac{2}{5}x^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} < {\int_2^x {{\left( {\pi {\left( u \right)} - {\text{li}}{\left( u \right)}} \right)}du < 0} }\) for all x>2. The paper concludes with a short discussion of prospects for further computational progress.     

A functional CLT for the L 2 modulus of continuity of local time

Here η(x) is an independent two-sided Brownian motion.     

Decay estimates for nonlinear nonlocal diffusion problems in the whole space

In this paper, we obtain bounds for the decay rate in the L ^r (? ^d )-norm for the solutions of a nonlocal and nonlinear evolution equation, namely, $$u_t \left( {x,t} \right) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right)dy, x \in \mathbb{R}^d , t > 0.}$$ . We consider a kernel of the form K(x, y) = ψ(y?a(x)) + ψ(x?a(y)), where ψ is a bounded, nonnegative function supported in the unit ball and a is a linear function a(x) = Ax. To obtain the decay rates, we derive lower and upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of a nonlocal diffusion operator of the form $$T\left( u \right) = - \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right)dy, 1 \leqslant p < \infty .}$$ . The upper and lower bounds that we obtain are sharp and provide an explicit expression for the first eigenvalue in the whole space ? ^d : $$\lambda _{1,p} \left( {\mathbb{R}^d } \right) = 2\left( {\int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {\psi \left( z \right)dz} } \right)\left| {\frac{1} {{\left| {\det A} \right|^{1/p} }} - 1} \right|^p .$$ Moreover, we deal with the p = ∞ eigenvalue problem, studying the limit of λ _1,p ^1/p as p→∞.

Generalized n-Laplacian: Semilinear Neumann problem with the critical growth

Let Ω ? ? ⁿ , n ? 2, be a bounded connected domain of the class C ^1,θ for some θ ∈ (0, 1]. Applying the generalized Moser-Trudinger inequality without boundary condition, the Mountain Pass Theorem and the Ekeland Variational Principle, we prove the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial weak solutions to the problem $$\begin{gathered} u \in W^1 L^\Phi \left( \Omega \right), - div\left( {\Phi '\left( {\left| {\nabla u} \right|} \right)\frac{{\nabla u}} {{\left| {\nabla u} \right|}}} \right) + V\left( x \right)\Phi '\left( {\left| u \right|} \right)\frac{u} {{\left| u \right|}} = f\left( {x,u} \right) + \mu h\left( x \right) in \Omega , \hfill \\ \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial n}} = 0 on \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ where Φ is a Young function such that the space W ¹ L ^Φ(Ω) is embedded into exponential or multiple exponential Orlicz space, the nonlinearity f(x, t) has the corresponding critical growth, V (x) is a continuous potential, h ∈ (L ^Φ(Ω))* is a nontrivial continuous function, µ ? 0 is a small parameter and n denotes the outward unit normal to ?Ω.

On the existence and smoothness of a generalized solution of a nonlinear differential equation with degeneration

Let Ω be an arbitrary open set in R _n , and let σ(x) and g _i (x), i = 1, 2, ..., n, be positive functions in Ω. We prove a embedding theorem of different metrics for the spaces W _p ^r (Ω, σ, $ \vec g $ ), where r ∈ N, p ≥ 1, and $ \vec g $ (x) = (g ₁(x), g ₂(x), ..., g _n (x)), with the norm $$ \left\| {u;W_p^r (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\| = \left\{ {\left\| {u;L_{p,r}^r (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\|^p + \left\| {u;L_{p,r}^0 (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\|^p } \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} , $$ where $$ \left\| {u;L_{p,r}^m (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\| = \left\{ {\sum\limits_{\left| k \right| = m} {\int\limits_\Omega {(\sigma (x)g_1^{k_1 - r} (x)g_2^{k_2 - r} (x) \cdots g_n^{k_n - r} (x)\left| {u^{(k)} (x)} \right|)^p dx} } } \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} , $$ We use this theorem to prove the existence and uniqueness of a minimizing element U(x) ∈ W _p ^r (Ω, σ, $ \vec g $ ) for the functional $$ \Phi (u) = \sum\limits_{\left| k \right| \leqslant r} {\frac{1} {{p_k }}\int\limits_\Omega {a_k (x)} \left| {u^{(k)} (x)} \right|^{p_k } } dx - \left\langle {F,u} \right\rangle , $$ where F is a given functional. We show that the function U(x) is a generalized solution of the corresponding nonlinear differential equation. For the case in which Ω is bounded, we study the differential properties of the generalized solution depending on the smoothness of the coefficients and the right-hand side of the equation.     

A generalized Cole-Hopf transformation for a two-dimensional burgers equation with a variable coefficient

The direct method is applied to the two dimensional Burgers equation with a variable coefficient (u _t + uu _x ? u _xx ) _x + s(t)u _yy = 0 is transformed into the Riccati equation $H' - \tfrac{1} {2}H^2 + \left( {\tfrac{\rho } {2} - 1} \right)H = 0$ via the ansatz $u\left( {x,y,t} \right) = \tfrac{1} {{\sqrt t }}H(\rho ) + \tfrac{y} {{2\sqrt t }}\rho \left( {x,y,t} \right) = \tfrac{x} {{\sqrt t }} - y$ , provided that s(t) = t ^?3/2.

A Useful Extension of Ito＇s Formula with Applications to Optimal Stopping

Given a continuous semimartingale M = （Mt）t≥〉0 and a d-dimensional continuous process of locally bounded variation V = （V^1,……, V^d）, the multidimensional Ito Formula states that f（Mt, Vt） - f（M0, V0） = ∫[0, t] Dx0f（Ms, Vs）dMs＋∑i=1^d∫[0, t] Dxi F（Ms, Vs）dVs^i＋1/2∫[0, t] Dx0^2 f（Ms, Vs）d 〈M〉s if f（x0,……,xd） is of C^2-type with respect to x0 and of C^1-type with respect to the other arguments This formula is very useful when solving various optimal stopping problems based on Brownian motion. However, in such application the function f typically fails to satisfy the stated conditions in that its first partial derivative with respect to x0 is only absolutely continuous. We prove that the formula remains true for such functions and demonstrate its use with two examples from Mathematical Finance.
