Die Verteilung der schlichten Funktionen in einem Funktionenraum

We consider the set of regular functions . We construct a Borel measure and a class of outer measures _h onH. With these and _h we show that: (HS)=0 and _h (HS)=0, (S is the set of normed univalent functions). From _h (HS)=0 follows—forh=t —that the Hausdorff—Billingsley-dimension ofHS is zero.

Taut Distance-Regular Graphs of Odd Diameter

Let denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter D 4, valency k 3, and distinct eigenvalues ₀ > ₁ > ··· > _D. Let M denote the Bose-Mesner algebra of . For 0 i D, let E _i denote the primitive idempotent of M associated with _i . We refer to E ₀ and E _D as the trivial idempotents of M. Let E, F denote primitive idempotents of M. We say the pair E, F is taut whenever (i) E, F are nontrivial, and (ii) the entry-wise product E F is a linear combination of two distinct primitive idempotents of M. We show the pair E, F is taut if and only if there exist real scalars , such that _{i + 1 i + 1} – _{i – 1 i – 1} = _i ( _{i + 1} – _{i – 1}) + _i ( _{i + 1} – _{i – 1}) + (1 i D – 1)where ₀, ₁, ..., _D and ₀, ₁, ..., _D denote the cosine sequences of E, F, respectively. We define to be taut whenever has at least one taut pair of primitive idempotents but is not 2-homogeneous in the sense of Nomura and Curtin. Assume is taut and D is odd, and assume the pair E, F is taut. We show

A Favard theorem for orthogonal rational functions on the unit circle

We consider forn=0, 1,... the nested spaces _n of rational functions of degreen at most with given poles . Given a finite measure supported on the unit circle, we associate with it a nested orthogonal basis of rational functions ₀,..., _n for _n ,n=0, 1,.... These _n satisfy a recurrence relation that generalizes the recurrence for Szeg polynomials.In this paper we shall prove a Favard type theorem which says that if one has a sequence of rational functions _{n n} which are generated by such a recurrence, then there will be a measure supported on the unit circle to which they are orthogonal. We shall give a sufficient condition for the uniqueness of this measure.     

Factorization intok-dimensional linear bijections

LetV be a vector space,k withkdimV andS _k{GL(V)|dimV(–1)=k}. ThenS _k generates GL _f (V){GL(V)|V(-1) is finite-dimensional} (with the exception that dimV=2=k and the field is GF2). We study the length problem in GL _f (V) withS _k as set of generators.     

The interpolation ofℓ r sequences by hp functions

The sequence spaceH ^P (z)={{f (z_h)}:f H ^p} is defined for a fixed sequence Z={z_k} of different points of the open unit disk and the Hardy class HP of analytic functions in the disk. For an arbitrary p[1, ) is constructed a point sequence Z= {z_k} such that ¹h ^p(z), but ^r h^p (Z) for r > 1. It follows from a well-known result of L. Carleson that the inclusions ^r h (Z) for all r[1,] are equivalent.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 4, pp. 503–508, April, 1977.     

Homogenization of a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Problem in a Thick Periodic Junction of the Type 3:2:1

Quasiconvex uniform-convergence factors for Fourier series of functions with a given modulus of continuity

It is proved that a quasiconvex sequence _v of convergence factors transforms Fourier series of functions whose moduli of continuity do not exceed a given modulus of continuity(gd) into uniformly convergent series if and only if _n (1/n) log n 0 for n . The sufficiency of this condition is already known.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 8, No. 5,pp. 619–623, November, 1970.     

Algebraic systems of quadratic forms of number fields and function fields

A practical finite element approximation of a semi-definite Neumann problem on a curved domain

Summary This paper considers the finite element approximation of the semi-definite Neumann problem: –·(u)=f in a curved domain ⁿ (n=2 or 3), on and , a given constant, for dataf andg satisfying the compatibility condition . Due to perturbation of domain errors ( ^h ) the standard Galerkin approximation to the above problem may not have a solution. A remedy is to perturb the right hand side so that a discrete form of the compatibility condition holds. Using this approach we show that for a finite element space defined overD ^h , a union of elements, with approximation powerh ^k in theL ² norm and with dist (, ^h )Ch ^k , one obtains optimal rates of convergence in theH ¹ andL ² norms whether ^h is fitted ( ^h D ^h ) or unfitted ( ^h D ^h ) provided the numerical integration scheme has sufficient accuracy.Partially supported by the National Science Foundation, Grant #DMS-8501397, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Office of Naval Research     

Orbit counting for some discrete groups acting on simply connected manifolds with negative curvature

Summary In this article we develop a method of deriving asymptotic formulae for the orbital counting function for the action of certain discrete groups of isometries of simply connected negatively curved manifolds. We consider the particular case of normal subgroups ₀ of a co-compact group ₀ for which the quotient ₀/ ^k . Even in the special case of manifolds ofconstant negative curvature, this leads to new results. In particular, we have asymptotic estimates for some groups which arenot geometrically finite.Oblatum III-1993 & 18-VIII-1993The first author was supported by The Royal Society through a University Research Fellowship.

OnC 2-diffeomorphisms of the circle which are of type III1

For every irrational number [0, 1) which is not of constant type we construct aC ²-diffeomorphism of the circle with rotation number which is of type III₁. This diffeomorphism can be chosen arbitrarily close to the rotationR . Our methods also allow us to construct, for every Liouville number [0, 1), aC -diffeomorphism of the circle with rotation number which is of type III₁.

Existence of solutions for the Navier-Stokes equations,having an infinite dissipation of energy,in a class of domains with noncompact boundaries

In the domain ³ with two exits at infinity, ₁ = {x:x<g ₁(x ₃),x ₃ > 2} and ₂ = {x:0<x ₃<g ₃(x), x>2}, one investigates the stationary system of Navier-Stokes equations under the boundary condition. One proves existence and uniqueness theorems for the solution of this problem with an infinite Dirichlet integral, under a given flow of the velocity vector across the cross sections of the exits at infinity. As an example one considers the case wheng _i(t) 1.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Large-Deviation Local Theorem for Additive Functionals of a Markov Gaussian Field. I

We prove a local limit theorem (LLT) on Cramer-type large deviations for sums S _V = _t V ( _t ), where _t , t Z , 1, is a Markov Gaussian random field, V Z , and is a bounded Borel function. We get an estimate from below for the variance of S _V and construct two classes of functions , for which the LLT of large deviations holds.     

Tangential Limits of Potentials on Homogeneous Trees

Let T be a homogeneous tree of homogeneity q+1. Let denote the boundary of T, consisting of all infinite geodesics b=[b ₀,b ₁,b ₂,] beginning at the root, 0. For each b, 1, and a0 we define the approach region _,a (b) to be the set of all vertices t such that, for some j, t is a descendant of b _j and the geodesic distance of t to b _j is at most (–1)j+a. If >1, we view these as tangential approach regions to b with degree of tangency . We consider potentials Gf on T for which the Riesz mass f satisfies the growth condition _T f ^p (t)q ^–|t|<, where p>1 and 0<<1, or p=1 and 0<1. For 11/, we show that Gf(s) has limit zero as s approaches a boundary point b within _,a (b) except for a subset E of of -dimensional Hausdorff measure 0, where H (E)=sup_>0inf _i q ^{–|t i|}:E a subset of the boundary points passing through t _i for some i,|t _i |>log _q (1/).     

Automorphisms on a Lie group contracting modulo a compact subgroup and applications to semistable convolution semigroups

Let ( _t ) _t0 be a -semistable convolution semigroup of probability measures on a Lie groupG whose idempotent ₀ is the Haar measure on some compact subgroupK. Then all the measures ₁ are supported by theK-contraction groupC _K() of the topological automorphism ofG. We prove here the structure theoremC _K()=C()K, whereC() is the contraction group of . Then it turns out that it is sufficient to study semistable convolution semigroups on simply connected nilpotent Lie groups that have Lie algebras with a positive graduation.
