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.

Testing for Unit Roots in a Nearly Nonstationary Spatial Autoregressive Process

The limiting distribution of the normalized periodogram ordinate is used to test for unit roots in the first-order autoregressive model _st= _s-1,t+_s,t-1- _s-1,t-1+_st. Moreover, for the sequence _n = e ^c/n , _n = e ^d/n of local Pitman-type alternatives, the limiting distribution of the normalized periodogram ordinate is shown to be a linear combination of two independent chi-square random variables whose coefficients depend on c and d. This result is used to tabulate the asymptotic power of a test for various values of c and d. A comparison is made between the periodogram test and a spatial domain test.     

A nonlinear equation for linear programming

We present a characterization of the normal optimal solution of the linear program given in canonical form max{c ^tx: Ax = b, x 0}. (P) We show thatx ^* is the optimal solution of (P), of minimal norm, if and only if there exists anR > 0 such that, for eachr R, we havex ^* = (rc – A^t_r)₊. Thus, we can findx ^* by solving the following equation for _r A(rc – A^t_r)₊ = b. Moreover,(1/r) _r then converges to a solution of the dual program.On leave from The University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

The Parametric Buffer Phenomenon for a Singularly Perturbed Telegraph Equation with a Pendulum Nonlinearity

We consider the boundary-value problem u _tt + u _t + (1 + cos2)sin u =² u _xx, u _x|_x=0=u_x|_x==0, where 0<1, =(1+)t, ,> 0, and the sign of is arbitrary. It is proved that for an appropriate choice of the external parameters and and for sufficiently small the number of exponentially stable solutions 2-periodic in can be made equal to an arbitrary predefined number.     

Embeddings of Banach Spaces Into Banach Lattices and the Gordon–Lewis Property

In this paper we first show that if X is a Banach space and is a left invariant crossnorm on lX, then there is a Banach lattice L and an isometric embedding J of X into L, so that I J becomes an isometry of lX onto l_m J(X). Here I denotes the identity operator on l and l_m J(X) the canonical lattice tensor product. This result is originally due to G. Pisier (unpublished), but our proof is different. We then use this to prove the main results which characterize the Gordon–Lewis property GL and related structures in terms of embeddings into Banach lattices.     

Block LU factorization is stable for block matrices whose inverses are block diagonally dominant

Let A M_n (C) and let the inverse matrix B = A^–1 be block diagonally dominant by rows (columns) w.r.t. an m × m block partitioning and a matrix norm. We show that A possesses a block LU factorization w.r.t. the same block partitioning, and the growth factor for A in this factorization is bounded above by 1 + , where = max _{1im i} and _i, 0 _i 1, are the row (column) block dominance factors of B. Further, the off-diagonal blocks of A (and of its block Schur complements) satisfy the inequalities

Randomly Weighted Sums of Subexponential Random Variables with Application to Ruin Theory

Let {X _k , 1 k n} be n independent and real-valued random variables with common subexponential distribution function, and let {k, 1 k n} be other n random variables independent of {X _k , 1 k n} and satisfying a _k b for some 0 < a b < for all 1 k n. This paper proves that the asymptotic relations P (max_{1 m n k=1} ^m _k X _k > x) P (sum _k=1 ⁿ _k X _k > x) sum _k=1 ⁿ P ( _k X _k > x) hold as x . In doing so, no any assumption is made on the dependence structure of the sequence { _k , 1 k n}. An application to ruin theory is proposed.     

A conditional dilatation equation

Summary The following theorem holds true. Theorem. Let X be a normed real vector space of dimension 3 and let k > 0 be a fixed real number. Suppose that f: X X and g: X × X are functions satisfying x – y = k f(x) – f(y) = g(x, y)(x – y) for all x, y X. Then there exist elements and t X such that f(x) = x + t for all x X and such that g(x, y) = for all x, y X with x – y = k.     

Measure properties of the set of initial data yielding non uniqueness for a class of differential inclusions

We study uniqueness property for the Cauchy problemxV(x), x(0)=, whereVR ⁿR is a locally Lipschitz continuous, quasiconvex function (i.e. the sublevel sets {Vc} are convex) and V(x) is the generalized gradient ofV atx. We prove that if 0V(x) forV(x)b, then the set of initial data {V=b} yielding non uniqueness of solution in a geometric sense has (n–1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure zero in {V=b}.     

On the dimensions of automorphism groups of 8-dimensional ternary fields I

Let be an eight-dimensional, connected, locally compact ternary field and let denote a connected closed subgroup of its automorphism group which is taken with the compact-open topology. It is proved that is either isomorphic to the compact exceptional Lie group G₂, or the (covering) dimension of is at most 11. This bound can be decreased to 10, if the ternary fixed fieldF of is connected.

Strong rightD-domains

An integral domainR is called rightD-domain if its lattice of all right ideals is distributive. In § 2 a sufficient condition for an integral domainR is given such thatR is a rightD-domain if and only ifR is a leftD-domain. For example each integral domain which is algebraic over its center satisfies this criterion. Furthermore, a rightD-domain is called strong if its lattice of all fractional right ideals is distributive. Examples of strong rightD-domains are given in §4. Each overring of a strong rightD-domain is also a strong rightD-domain whereas arbitrary rightD-domains may have overrings which are no rightD-domains. Section 3 is mainly concerned with the set * of all left invertible fractional right ideals and the mapping :**,II _l ^–1 whereI _l ^–1 denotes the left inverse ofI. For example, equivalent conditions are given for * to be a sublattice of and it is shown that is bijective if and only if (IJ)=(I)+(J) holds for allI,J*. Finally, §5 deals with (right)D-domains which are algebraic over their centersC. It is proved thatR is invariant if and only ifC is a commutative Prüfer domain andR the integral closure ofC inQ(R).     

Some functional inequalities and their Baire category properties

Summary In the paper we consider, from a topological point of view, the set of all continuous functionsf:I I for which the unique continuous solution:I – [0, ) of(f(x)) (x, (x)) and(x, (x)) (f(x)) (x, (x)), respectively, is the zero function. We obtain also some corollaries on the qualitative theory of the functional equation(f(x)) = g(x, (x)). No assumption on the iterative behaviour off is imposed.

Sufficient Conditions for the Existence of Disintegrations

Let be a probability space and a partition of . A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a -additive and measurable disintegration of P on . It is also shown that P admits a -additive (but not measurable) disintegration on whenever is a standard space and the set (₁, ₂):₁ and ₂ are in the same element of } is coanalytic in ×. Finally, sufficient statistics (in the classical Fisherian sense) are investigated by using -additive disintegrations as conditional probabilities.     

Best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel of a biharmonic equation and optimal renewal of the values of operators

For the classB _p , 0 < 1, 1p , of 2-periodic functions of the form f(t)=u(,t), whereu (,t) is a biharmonic function in the unit disk, we obtain the exact values of the best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel K(t) of the convolution f= K *g, gl, with respect to the metric of L₁. We also consider the problem of renewal of the values of the convolution operator by using the information about the values of the boundary functions.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol.47, No. 11, pp. 1549–1557, November, 1995.     

Some Conditions for a C0-Semigroup to Be Asymptotically Finite-Dimensional

We study the class of bounded C ₀-semigroups T=(T _t ) _t0 on a Banach space X satisfying the asymptotic finite dimensionality condition: codim X ₀(T)<, where X ₀(T):={x X:lim_t T _t x=0}. We prove a theorem which provides some necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic finite dimensionality.
