Some Inverse Problems for d-Orthogonal Polynomials

This paper is devoted to the study of the generalized inverse problem of the left product of a d–dimensional vector form by a polynomial. The objective is to find the regularity conditions of the vector linear form ${\mathcal{V}}$ defined by ${\mathcal{U} = \mathcal{RV}}$ , where ${\mathcal{R}}$ is a d × d matrix polynomial. In such a case, the d–OPS {Q _n } _{n ≥ 0} corresponding to ${\mathcal{V}}$ is d–quasi– orthogonal of order l with respect to ${\mathcal{U}}$ . Secondly, we study the inverse problem: Given a d -OPS P _{n n ≥ 0} with respect to ${\mathcal{U}}$ , characterize the parameters ${\{a^{(i)}_{n}\}{^{dl}_{i=1}}}$ such that the sequence $${Q_{n+dl} = P_{n+dl} + \sum _{i=1}^{dl} a_{n+dl}^{(i)}P_{n+dl-i},\quad n\geq 0}$$ , is d–orthogonal with respect to some regular vector linear form ${\mathcal{V}}$ . As an immediate consequence, find the explicit relation between ${\mathcal{U}}$ and ${\mathcal{V}}$ .     

Split Partial Isometries

A partial isometry V is said to be a split partial isometry if ${\mathcal{H}=R(V) + N(V)}$ , with R(V) ∩ N(V) = {0} (R(V) = range of V, N(V) = null-space of V). We study the topological properties of the set ${\mathcal{I}_0}$ of such partial isometries. Denote by ${\mathcal{I}}$ the set of all partial isometries of ${\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})}$ , and by ${\mathcal{I}_N}$ the set of normal partial isometries. Then $$\mathcal{I}_N\subset \mathcal{I}_0\subset \mathcal{I}, $$ and the inclusions are proper. It is known that ${\mathcal{I}}$ is a C ^∞-submanifold of ${\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})}$ . It is shown here that ${\mathcal{I}_0}$ is open in ${\mathcal{I}}$ , therefore is has also C ^∞-local structure. We characterize the set ${\mathcal{I}_0}$ , in terms of metric properties, existence of special pseudo-inverses, and a property of the spectrum and the resolvent of V. The connected components of ${\mathcal{I}_0}$ are characterized: ${V_0,V_1\in \mathcal{I}_0}$ lie in the same connected component if and only if $${\rm dim}\, R(V_0)= {\rm dim}\, R(V_1) \,\,{\rm and}\,\,\, {\rm dim}\, R(V_0)^\perp = {\rm dim}\, R(V_1)^\perp.$$ This result is known for normal partial isometries.     

Positive solutions of Schrödinger equations and fine regularity of boundary points

Given a Lipschitz domain Ω in ${{\mathbb R}^N}$ and a nonnegative potential V in Ω such that V(x) d(x, ?Ω)² is bounded we study the fine regularity of boundary points with respect to the Schrödinger operator L _V := Δ ? V in Ω. Using potential theoretic methods, several conditions are shown to be equivalent to the fine regularity of ${z \in \partial \Omega}$ . The main result is a simple (explicit if Ω is smooth) necessary and sufficient condition involving the size of V for ${z \in \partial \Omega}$ to be finely regular. An intermediate result consists in a majorization of ${\int_A \vert{\frac{ u} {d(.,\partial \Omega)}}\vert^2\, dx}$ for u positive harmonic in Ω and ${A \subset \Omega}$ . Conditions for almost everywhere regularity in a subset A of ?Ω are also given as well as an extension of the main results to a notion of fine ${\mathcal{ L}_1 \vert \mathcal{L}_0}$ -regularity, if ${\mathcal{L}_j = \mathcal{L} - V_j, V_0,\, V_1}$ being two potentials, with V ₀ ≤ V ₁ and ${\mathcal{L}}$ a second order elliptic operator.     

Transitive A 6-invariant k-arcs in PG(2, q)

For q = p ^r with a prime p ≥ 7 such that ${q \equiv 1}$ or 19 (mod 30), the desarguesian projective plane PG(2, q) of order q has a unique conjugacy class of projectivity groups isomorphic to the alternating group A ₆ of degree 6. For a projectivity group ${\Gamma \cong A_6}$ of PG(2, q), we investigate the geometric properties of the (unique) Γ-orbit ${\mathcal{O}}$ of size 90 such that the 1-point stabilizer of Γ in its action on ${\mathcal O}$ is a cyclic group of order 4. Here ${\mathcal O}$ lies either in PG(2, q) or in PG(2, q ²) according as 3 is a square or a non-square element in GF(q). We show that if q ≥ 349 and q ≠ 421, then ${\mathcal O}$ is a 90-arc, which turns out to be complete for q = 349, 409, 529, 601,661. Interestingly, ${\mathcal O}$ is the smallest known complete arc in PG(2,601) and in PG(2,661). Computations are carried out by MAGMA.     

Computable representations for convex hulls of low-dimensional quadratic forms

Let ${\mathcal{C}}$ be the convex hull of points ${{\{{1 \choose x}{1 \choose x}^T \,|\, x\in \mathcal{F}\subset \Re^n\}}}$ . Representing or approximating ${\mathcal{C}}$ is a fundamental problem for global optimization algorithms based on convex relaxations of products of variables. We show that if n ≤ 4 and ${\mathcal{F}}$ is a simplex, then ${\mathcal{C}}$ has a computable representation in terms of matrices X that are doubly nonnegative (positive semidefinite and componentwise nonnegative). We also prove that if n = 2 and ${\mathcal{F}}$ is a box, then ${\mathcal{C}}$ has a representation that combines semidefiniteness with constraints on product terms obtained from the reformulation-linearization technique (RLT). The simplex result generalizes known representations for the convex hull of ${{\{(x_1, x_2, x_1x_2)\,|\, x\in\mathcal{F}\}}}$ when ${\mathcal{F}\subset\Re^2}$ is a triangle, while the result for box constraints generalizes the well-known fact that in this case the RLT constraints generate the convex hull of ${{\{(x_1, x_2, x_1x_2)\,|\, x\in\mathcal{F}\}}}$ . When n = 3 and ${\mathcal{F}}$ is a box, we show that a representation for ${\mathcal{C}}$ can be obtained by utilizing the simplex result for n = 4 in conjunction with a triangulation of the 3-cube.     

Lax embeddings of the Hermitian unital

In this paper, we prove that every lax generalized Veronesean embedding of the Hermitian unital ${\mathcal{U}}$ of ${\mathsf{PG}(2,\mathbb{L}), \mathbb{L}}$ a quadratic extension of the field ${\mathbb{K}}$ and ${|\mathbb{K}| \geq 3}$ , in a ${\mathsf{PG}(d,\mathbb{F})}$ , with ${\mathbb{F}}$ any field and d ≥ 7, such that disjoint blocks span disjoint subspaces, is the standard Veronesean embedding in a subgeometry ${\mathsf{PG}(7,\mathbb{K}^{\prime})}$ of ${\mathsf{PG}(7,\mathbb{F})}$ (and d = 7) or it consists of the projection from a point ${p \in \mathcal{U}}$ of ${\mathcal{U}{\setminus} \{p\}}$ from a subgeometry ${\mathsf{PG}(7,\mathbb{K}^{\prime})}$ of ${\mathsf{PG}(7,\mathbb{F})}$ into a hyperplane ${\mathsf{PG}(6,\mathbb{K}^{\prime})}$ . In order to do so, when ${|\mathbb{K}| >3 }$ we strongly use the linear representation of the affine part of ${\mathcal{U}}$ (the line at infinity being secant) as the affine part of the generalized quadrangle ${\mathsf{Q}(4,\mathbb{K})}$ (the solid at infinity being non-singular); when ${|\mathbb{K}| =3}$ , we use the connection of ${\mathcal{U}}$ with the generalized hexagon of order 2.     

Q-Complete domains with corners in {\mathbb{P}^n} and extension of line bundles

We show that if a compact set X in ${\mathbb P^n}$ is laminated by holomorphic submanifolds of dimension q, then ${\mathbb P^n{\setminus}X}$ is (q + 1)-complete with corners. Consider a manifold U, q-complete with corners. Let ${\mathcal N}$ be a holomorphic line bundle in the complement of a compact in U. We study when ${\mathcal N}$ extends as a holomorphic line bundle in U. We give applications to the non existence of some Levi-flat foliations in open sets in ${\mathbb P^n}$ . The results apply in particular when U is a Stein manifold of dimension n ≥ 3, then every holomorphic line bundle in the complement of a compact extends holomorphically to U.     

Note on Group Distance Magic Graphs G[C 4]

A group distance magic labeling or a ${\mathcal{G}}$ -distance magic labeling of a graph G =  (V, E) with ${|V | = n}$ is a bijection f from V to an Abelian group ${\mathcal{G}}$ of order n such that the weight ${w(x) = \sum_{y\in N_G(x)}f(y)}$ of every vertex ${x \in V}$ is equal to the same element ${\mu \in \mathcal{G}}$ , called the magic constant. In this paper we will show that if G is a graph of order n =  2 ^p (2k + 1) for some natural numbers p, k such that ${\deg(v)\equiv c \mod {2^{p+1}}}$ for some constant c for any ${v \in V(G)}$ , then there exists a ${\mathcal{G}}$ -distance magic labeling for any Abelian group ${\mathcal{G}}$ of order 4n for the composition G[C ₄]. Moreover we prove that if ${\mathcal{G}}$ is an arbitrary Abelian group of order 4n such that ${\mathcal{G} \cong \mathbb{Z}_2 \times\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathcal{A}}$ for some Abelian group ${\mathcal{A}}$ of order n, then there exists a ${\mathcal{G}}$ -distance magic labeling for any graph G[C ₄], where G is a graph of order n and n is an arbitrary natural number.     

A Geometry for the Set of Split Operators

We study the set ${\mathcal{X}}$ of split operators acting in the Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}$ : $$\mathcal{X}=\{T\in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}): N(T)\cap R(T)=\{0\} \ {\rm and} \ N(T)+R(T)=\mathcal{H}\}.$$ Inside ${\mathcal{X}}$ , we consider the set ${\mathcal{Y}}$ : $$\mathcal{Y}=\{T\in\mathcal{X}: N(T)\perp R(T)\}.$$ Several characterizations of these sets are given. For instance ${T\in\mathcal{X}}$ if and only if there exists an oblique projection ${Q}$ whose range is N(T) such that T + Q is invertible, if and only if T posseses a commuting (necessarilly unique) pseudo-inverse S (i.e. TS = ST, TST = T and STS = S). Analogous characterizations are given for ${\mathcal{Y}}$ . Two natural maps are considered: $${\bf q}:\mathcal{X} \to \mathbb{Q}:=\{{\rm oblique \ projections \ in} \, \mathcal{H} \}, \ {\bf q}(T)=P_{R(T)//N(T)}$$ and $${\bf p}:\mathcal{Y} \to \mathbb{P}:=\{{\rm orthogonal \ projections \ in} \ \mathcal{H} \}, \ {\bf p}(T)=P_{R(T)}, $$ where ${P_{R(T)//N(T)}}$ denotes the projection onto R(T) with nullspace N(T), and P _R(T) denotes the orthogonal projection onto R(T). These maps are in general non continuous, subsets of continuity are studied. For the map q these are: similarity orbits, and the subsets ${\mathcal{X}_{c_k}\subset \mathcal{X}}$ of operators with rank ${k<\infty}$ , and ${\mathcal{X}_{F_k}\subset\mathcal{X}}$ of Fredholm operators with nullity ${k<\infty}$ . For the map p there are analogous results. We show that the interior of ${\mathcal{X}}$ is ${\mathcal{X}_{F_0}\cup\mathcal{X}_{F_1}}$ , and that ${\mathcal{X}_{c_k}}$ and ${\mathcal{X}_{F_k}}$ are arc-wise connected differentiable manifolds.     

Composed products and factors of cyclotomic polynomials over finite fields

Let q = p ^s be a power of a prime number p and let ${\mathbb {F}_{\rm q}}$ be a finite field with q elements. This paper aims to demonstrate the utility and relation of composed products to other areas such as the factorization of cyclotomic polynomials, construction of irreducible polynomials, and linear recurrence sequences over ${\mathbb {F}_{\rm q}}$ . In particular we obtain the explicit factorization of the cyclotomic polynomial ${\Phi_{2^nr}}$ over ${\mathbb {F}_{\rm q}}$ where both r ≥ 3 and q are odd, gcd(q, r) = 1, and ${n\in \mathbb{N}}$ . Previously, only the special cases when r = 1, 3, 5, had been achieved. For this we make the assumption that the explicit factorization of ${\Phi_r}$ over ${\mathbb {F}_{\rm q}}$ is given to us as a known. Let ${n = p_1^{e_1}p_2^{e_2}\cdots p_s^{e_s}}$ be the factorization of ${n \in \mathbb{N}}$ into powers of distinct primes p _i , 1 ≤ i ≤ s. In the case that the multiplicative orders of q modulo all these prime powers ${p_i^{e_i}}$ are pairwise coprime, we show how to obtain the explicit factors of ${\Phi_{n}}$ from the factors of each ${\Phi_{p_i^{e_i}}}$ . We also demonstrate how to obtain the factorization of ${\Phi_{mn}}$ from the factorization of ${\Phi_n}$ when q is a primitive root modulo m and ${{\rm gcd}(m, n) = {\rm gcd}(\phi(m),{\rm ord}_n(q)) = 1.}$ Here ${\phi}$ is the Euler’s totient function, and ord _n (q) denotes the multiplicative order of q modulo n. Moreover, we present the construction of a new class of irreducible polynomials over ${\mathbb {F}_{\rm q}}$ and generalize a result due to Varshamov (Soviet Math Dokl 29:334–336, 1984).     

Characterization of (generalized) Lie derivations on {\mathcal{J}}-subspace lattice algebras by local action

Let ${\mathcal{L}}$ be a ${\mathcal{J}}$ -subspace lattice on a Banach space X over the real or complex field ${\mathbb{F}}$ with dim X ≥ 2 and Alg ${\mathcal{L}}$ be the associated ${\mathcal{J}}$ -subspace lattice algebra. For any scalar ${\xi \in \mathbb{F}}$ , there is a characterization of any linear map L : Alg ${\mathcal{L} \rightarrow {\rm Alg} {\mathcal{L}}}$ satisfying ${L([A,B]_\xi) = [L(A),B]_\xi + [A,L(B)]_\xi}$ for any ${A, B \in{\rm Alg} {\mathcal{L}}}$ with AB = 0 (rep. ${[A,B]_ \xi = AB - \xi BA = 0}$ ) given. Based on these results, a complete characterization of (generalized) ξ-Lie derivations for all possible ξ on Alg ${\mathcal{L}}$ is obtained.     

Saturating Sperner Families

A family ${\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}}$ saturates the monotone decreasing property ${\mathcal{P}}$ if ${\mathcal{F}}$ satisfies ${\mathcal{P}}$ and one cannot add any set to ${\mathcal{F}}$ such that property ${\mathcal{P}}$ is still satisfied by the resulting family. We address the problem of finding the minimum size of a family saturating the k-Sperner property and the minimum size of a family that saturates the Sperner property and that consists only of l-sets and (l + 1)-sets.     

Tolerances as images of congruences in varieties defined by linear identities

An identity s = t is linear if each variable occurs at most once in each of the terms s and t. Let T be a tolerance relation of an algebra ${\mathcal{A}}$ in a variety defined by a set of linear identities. We prove that there exist an algebra ${\mathcal{B}}$ in the same variety and a congruence θ of ${\mathcal{B}}$ such that a homomorphism from ${\mathcal{B}}$ onto ${\mathcal{A}}$ maps θ onto T.     

Comparison of topologies on ⁎-algebras of locally measurable operators

We consider the local measure topology ${t(\mathcal{M})}$ on the ?-algebra ${LS(\mathcal{M})}$ of all locally measurable operators and on the ?-algebra ${S(\mathcal{M},\tau)}$ of all τ-measurable operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal{M}}$ . If τ is a semifinite but not a finite trace on ${\mathcal{M},}$ then one can consider the τ-local measure topology t _τ l and the weak τ-local measure topology t _{w τ l} . We study relationships between the topology ${t(\mathcal{M})}$ and the topologies t _τ l , t _{w τ l} , and the (o)-topology ${t_o(\mathcal{M})}$ on ${LS_h(\mathcal{M})=\{T\in LS(\mathcal{M}): T^\ast=T\}}$ . We find that the topologies ${t(\mathcal{M})}$ and t _τ l (resp. ${t(\mathcal{M})}$ and t _{w τ l} ) coincide on ${S(\mathcal{M},\tau)}$ if and only if ${\mathcal{M}}$ is finite, and ${t(\mathcal{M})=t_o(\mathcal{M})}$ on ${LS_h(\mathcal{M})}$ holds if and only if ${\mathcal{M}}$ is a σ-finite and finite. Moreover, it turns out that the topology t _{τ l} (resp. t _{w τ l} ) coincides with the (o)-topology on ${S_h(\mathcal{M},\tau)}$ only for finite traces. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the topology ${t(\mathcal{M})}$ to be locally convex (resp., normable). We show that (o)-convergence of sequences in ${LS_h(\mathcal{M})}$ and convergence in the topology ${t(\mathcal{M})}$ coincide if and only if the algebra ${\mathcal{M}}$ is an atomic and finite algebra.     

Trivectors yielding spreads in PG(5, 2)

Given an alternating trilinear form ${T\in {\rm Alt}(\times^{3}V_{6})}$ on V ₆ = V(6, 2) let ${\mathcal{L}_{T}}$ denote the set of those lines ${\langle a, b \rangle}$ in ${{\rm PG}(5,2)=\mathbb{P}V_{6}}$ which are T-singular, satisfying, that is, T(a, b, x) = 0 for all ${x\in {\rm PG}(5, 2).}$ If ${\mathcal{L}_{21}}$ is a Desarguesian line-spread in PG(5, 2) it is shown that ${\mathcal{L}_{T}=\mathcal{L}_{21}}$ for precisely three choices T ₁,T ₂,T ₃ of T, which moreover satisfy T ₁ + T ₂ + T ₃ = 0. For ${T\in\mathcal{T}:=\{T_{1},T_{2},T_{3}\}}$ the ${\mathcal{G}_{T}}$ -orbits of flats in PG(5, 2) are determined, where ${\mathcal{G}_{T}\cong {\rm SL}(3,4).2}$ denotes the stabilizer of T under the action of GL(6, 2). Further, for a representative U of each ${\mathcal{G}_{T}}$ -orbit, the T-associate U ^# is also determined, where by definition $$U^{\#}=\{v\in {\rm PG}(5,2)\, |\, T(u_{1},u_{2},v) = 0\, \,{\rm for\,all }\, \, u_{1},u_{2}\in U\}$$ .     

Categories of partial algebras for critical points between varieties of algebras

We denote by Con_c A the ${(\vee, 0)}$ -semilattice of all finitely generated congruences of an algebra A. A lifting of a ${(\vee, 0)}$ -semilattice S is an algebra A such that ${S \cong {\rm Con}_{\rm c} A}$ . The assignment Conc can be extended to a functor. The notion of lifting is generalized to diagrams of ${(\vee, 0)}$ -semilattices. A gamp is a partial algebra endowed with a partial subalgebra together with a semilattice-valued distance; gamps form a category that lends itself to a universal algebraic-type study. The raison d’être of gamps is that any algebra can be approximated by its finite subgamps, even in case it is not locally finite. Let ${\mathcal{V}}$ and ${\mathcal{W}}$ be varieties of algebras (on finite, possibly distinct, similarity types). Let P be a finite lattice. We assume the existence of a combinatorial object, called an ${\aleph_0}$ -lifter of P, of infinite cardinality ${\lambda}$ . Let ${\vec{A}}$ be a P-indexed diagram of finite algebras in ${\mathcal{V}}$ . If ${{\rm Con}_{\rm c} \circ \vec{A}}$ has no partial lifting in the category of gamps of ${\mathcal{W}}$ , then there is an algebra ${A \in \mathcal{V}}$ of cardinality ${\lambda}$ such that Con_c A is not isomorphic to Con_c B for any ${B \in \mathcal{W}}$ . This makes it possible to generalize several known results. In particular, we prove the following theorem, without assuming that ${\mathcal{W}}$ is locally finite. Let ${\mathcal{V}}$ be locally finite and let ${\mathcal{W}}$ be congruence-proper (i.e., congruence lattices of infinite members of ${\mathcal{W}}$ are infinite). The following equivalence holds. Every countable ${(\vee, 0)}$ -semilattice with a lifting in ${\mathcal{V}}$ has a lifting in ${\mathcal{W}}$ if and only if every ${\omega}$ -indexed diagram of finite ${(\vee, 0)}$ -semilattices with a lifting in ${\mathcal{V}}$ has a lifting in ${\mathcal{W}}$ . Gamps are also applied to the study of congruence-preserving extensions. Let ${\mathcal{V}}$ be a non-semidistributive variety of lattices and let n ≥ 2 be an integer. There is a bounded lattice ${A \in \mathcal{V}}$ of cardinality ${\aleph_1}$ with no congruence n-permutable, congruence-preserving extension. The lattice A is constructed as a condensate of a square-indexed diagram of lattices.     

Helly-type theorems for intersections of sets starshaped via orthogonally convex paths

Let ${\mathcal{K}}$ be a family of simply connected sets in the plane. If every countable subfamily of ${\mathcal{K}}$ has an intersection that is starshaped via orthogonally convex paths, then ${\mathcal{K}}$ itself has such an intersection. For the d-dimensional case, let ${\mathcal{K}}$ be a family of compact sets in ${\mathbb{R}^d}$ . If every finite subfamily of ${\mathcal{K}}$ has an intersection that is starshaped via orthogonally convex paths, again ${\mathcal{K}}$ itself has such an intersection.     

Representation of Polynomials by Linear Combinations of Radial Basis Functions

Let ${\mathcal {P}_{n}^{d}}$ denote the space of polynomials on ? ^d of total degree n. In this work, we introduce the space of polynomials ${\mathcal {Q}_{2 n}^{d}}$ such that ${\mathcal {P}_{n}^{d}}\subset {\mathcal {Q}_{2 n}^{d}}\subset\mathcal{P}_{2n}^{d}$ and which satisfy the following statement: Let h be any fixed univariate even polynomial of degree n and $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite set in ? ^d . Then every polynomial P from the space  ${\mathcal {Q}_{2 n}^{d}}$ may be represented by a linear combination of radial basis functions of the form h(∥x+a∥), $a\in \mathcal{A}$ , if and only if the set $\mathcal{A}$ is a uniqueness set for the space  ${\mathcal {Q}_{2 n}^{d}}$ .
