Noetherian Equations for Matrices

Let L|K be a finite Galois extension. Using central simple algebras we deal with the crossed representations of G = Gal(L|K) over L which are defined as mappings X of G into GL_n(L) satisfying X = X X. The last equation is the Noetherian equation in case n=1. Furtheron, more general crossed projective representations are considered which obey an equation X X = Xf_, where f_, L.     

Folgenräume als universelle Generatoren für Klassen lokalkonvexer Räume

Motivated by the known characterizations of equicontinuity in the dual of a Schwartz space, a nuclear space, or a strongly nuclear space,we introduce the concepts of a -sequence and of a ()-sequence in the dual of an arbitrary lcs [E,], and we investigate the corresponding topologies and ₍₎ on E of uniform convergence on these sequences. Here is a normal sequence space such that . Under favorable enough conditions on , including the nuclearity of its normal topology , [,] acts as a universal generator for those lcs [E,] which satisfy =. Under somewhat weaker assumptions on , [,₍₎] is a universal generator for the lcs [E,] with =₍₎. These results cover e.g. the cases of -nuclear spaces and of nuclear spaces known from the recent literature. As an application we show that every non-trivial ultrabornological lcs is representable as an inductive limit of isomorphic copies of [, ( , )], where is any nuclear power series space of infinite type with stable exponent sequence.     

Über eine Verallgemeinerung des Plateauschen Problems

Let T be the domain in ^N defined by the inequalities O < ₁ < ... < _N < +. Put _N+k = /2(1+k) (k=1,2,3), _N+4=₁+2, and denote byF() the set of functions x=x(u,v)=(x¹(u,v),...,x^p(u,v)), (p2) of class , where B is the unit disk u²+v²<1, which maps the circular arcs _k={w=eⁱ:_k<<_K+1} (k=1,..., N+3) into the straight lines containing the edges a_k, a_k+1 (a_N+4=a₁) of a polygon IR^p. Then we show that the function ()= _inf ^xF() D(x) is analytic in T. This generalizes and sharpens an unproved result of I. Marx and M. Shiffman (see [4]).

Laser-supported detonation waves and material processing with pulsed CO2 lasers

Summary The processing of metals with short CO₂ laser pulses is strongly influenced by an air-breakdown plasma (LSD-wave). Material removal is possible only if the duration of this LSD-wave can be kept short compared with the length of the laser pulse. A simple model for the calculation of is developed allowing the derivation of an analytic formula and leading to good agreement with experimental data.

Zusammenfassung Die Bearbeitung von Metallen mit kurzen CO₂-Laserpulsen wird von einem Air-Breakdown-Plasma (LSD-Welle) stark beeinflusst. Materialabtragung ist nur dann möglich, wenn die Dauer dieser LSD-Welle wesentlich kürzer ist als die gesamte Pulslänge. Es wird ein einfaches Modell für die Berechnung von entwickelt. Daraus lässt sich ein analytischer Ausdruck herleiten. Die Resultate stehen in guter Uebereinstimmung mit experimentellen Daten.

     

Isolation theorem for forms corresponding to purely real algebraic fields

Let M be the complete module of a purely real algebraic field of degree n 3, let be a lattice in this module, and let F(X) be its form. We use to denote any lattice for which we have = , where is a nondiagonal matrix for which – I . With each lattice we can associate a factorizable formF (X) in a natural manner. We denote the complete set of forms corresponding to the set {} by {F (X)}.

A condition for the absence of the singular continuous spectrum in the Friedrichs model. II

One considers a self-adjoint operator H for which one has a unitary group U such that the operator H UHU ^–1 is analytic with respect to . Under certain additional restrictions on H, one proves the absence of the singular continuous spectrum of H. In this connection one admits such a behavior of the essential spectrum of H for Im 0 which excludes the application of the method of analytic dilatations. In our analysis, analogies with the method of the inverse scattering problem play an important role.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Summary The time dependent solution is determined for the state probabilities and for some characteristic values of queuing systems with a single server, an infinite number of waiting places, exponentially distributed inter-arrival and service times, and any initial state. The state probabilitiesP _v (), i.e. the probabilities for units in the system at time, are given in the form of integrals in which modifiedBessel functions of the first kind occur. Integrating the state probalityP ₀() over leads to the meanL() and the varianceV() of the number of units in the system.For<1 and the systems tend to a steady state (for which the solution is known); for1 and we haveP _v ()0 for all, L(),V().If>1 asymptotic expansions for large are found givingL() andV() proportional to. If=1 simple approximate formulas for large are obtained givingL() and the standard deviation() proportional to .

On a family of topologies on the spaceL p

We study a family of topologies {_s}_{0 on the space lp, 0s} is the protective topology on l_p generated by the family of multipliers m_y:l_pl_s, m_y(x)=x · y, where y ranges over the space l_p and 1/p + 1/q=1/s. Here l_s is taken with its standard topology generated by the norm for s 1 or a pseudonorm if 0s}_{0sp is strictly increasing and that all the topologies s}, 0s are not locally convex when 0Matematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, Issue 35, 1992, pp. 194–198.

Hypercubic 4 and 5-Designs from Double-Error-Correcting BCH Codes

An ordered orthogonal array OOA(, k, n) is a binary 2 ^k × n matrix with the property that for each complete -set of columns, each possible -tuple occurs in exactly 2 ^k– rows of those columns (for definition of a complete -set, see below). Constructions of OOA(, k, n) for = 4 and = 5 are given.     

Thermorelaxation resonance in the quantum theory of Brownian motion

The Brownian motion of a quantum particle in a thermal reservoir possessing a finite correlation time _c is considered. Non-Markov Langevin equations for a stationary nonequilibrium state are obtained. At low temperaturesT of the thermal reservoir, the correlation time _c =/2T is fairly long. It is shown that allowance for the damping of the particle momentum over the correlation times _c : _c 1, leads to an oscillating temperature dependence of the relaxation coefficient (1/T) in the region of low temperatures of the thermal reservoir.N.

Note on initial topologies on rational vector spaces induced by realvalued linear mappings

LetG be a vector space over the field of rational numbers andf, g:G -linear mappings. equipped with the usual norm topology. Denote by _f , _g the initial topologies onG induced byf respectivelyg.Then the following result holds: If there is a nonvoid open setU whose complement contains at least one inner point such thatf ^–1 U _g , then there is ac withf=cg. In particular, iff0, the topologies coincide.Furthermore, a -linear mappingh: (G, _f )(G, _g ) is continuous if and only if there is a real constantc withg ^o h=cf.Dedicated to Professor János Aczél on his 60th birthday     

Über den algorithmischen Nachweis von Ungleichungen I

We shall develop a method to prove inequalities in a unified manner. The idea is as follows: It is quite often possible to find a continuous functional : ⁿ , such that the left- and the right-hand side of a given inequality can be written in the form (u)(v) for suitable points,v=v(u). If one now constructs a map ^{n n} , which is functional increasing (i.e. for each x ⁿ (which is not a fixed point of ) the inequality (x)<((x)) should hold) one specially gets the chain (u)( u))( ²(u))... ⁿ (u)). Under quite general conditions one finds that the sequence { ⁿ (u)} _n converges tov=v(u). As a consequence one obtains the inequality (u)(v).     

Isometries of symmetric operator spaces associated with AFD factors of typeII and symmetric vector-valued spaces

If is a surjective isometry of the separable symmetric operator spaceE(M, ) associated with the approximately finite-dimensional semifinite factorM and if · _E(M,) is not proportional to · _{L 2}, then there exist a unitary operatorUM and a Jordan automorphismJ ofM such that(x)=UJ(x) for allxME(M, ). We characterize also surjective isometries of vector-valued symmetric spacesF((0, 1), E(M, )).Research supported by the Australian Research Council     

Multi-Faithful Spanning Trees of Infinite Graphs

For an end and a tree T of a graph G we denote respectively by m() and m _T () the maximum numbers of pairwise disjoint rays of G and T belonging to , and we define tm() := min{m _T(): T is a spanning tree of G}. In this paper we give partial answers — affirmative and negative ones — to the general problem of determining if, for a function f mapping every end of G to a cardinal f() such that tm() f() m(), there exists a spanning tree T of G such that m _T () = f() for every end of G.

Niveaumengenräume holomorpher Abbildungen und nullte Bildgarben

In this paper we study spaces of level sets of holomorphic mappings. We give an elementary (i.e. we are using elementary means) proof of a theorem a special case of which is the following statement: Let : XY be a holomorphic mapping of the irreducible normal complex space into the reduced complex space Y, which degenerates nowhere; the last condition means in the present case all -level sets having the same dimension; a -level set is a connected component of a fibre ^–1(Q), Q (X). Then the space Z of -level sets is a quasicomplex space and the natural mapping : XZ which maps each P X onto the -level set to which P belongs is open. If we substitute the assumption degenerating nowhere by the assumption having compact level sets, we get a space Z of level sets, which is a complex space. - The first part of this statement is a generalisation of a theorem of K. Stein, the second part is a special case of a theorem of H. Cartan and a well known theorem of H. Grauert on proper mappings. We will use our theorem in order to give a new proof of Grauert's theorem in a subsequent paper.     

Parameter-dependent renewal theorems with applications

Let ₁, ₂, ... be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with positive mean and finite variance and letr(b), b0, be real numbers tending to 0 asb . Definings _n=₁+...+_n andS _n=S_n(b)=s_n+r(b)n, the stopping time =(b)=inf {n>/1:S_n >b} whereb=b(b) , will be considered with special regard to the excess over the boundaryR _b=s+r(b)–b. It turns out that the limiting distribution ofR _b is the same as in the caser(b)0 for allb. Proving this, Blackwell's renewal theorem and its integral version have to be established first in the above stated situation. Finally, an expansion ofE to vanishing terms asb will be provided and applied to some examples arising in economics.

An extension of the fenchel theorem

We give an extension of the Fenchel-Borsuk result by introducing the total absolute torsion-curvature KT() for regular curves whose tangent indicatrix is a piecewise regular curve (-closed curves). We prove that KT() is low bounded by 2 and we give a geometric characterization for the -closed curves whose KT() is minimal.
