Theory of multiple j-elementary matrix-valued functions with a pole at the boundary of the unit circle

The theory of a matrix-valued function (), j-elementary in the unit circle and having a pole at the point ₀, ¦₀¦=1, on the boundary of the unit circle, is considered. The structure of () is determined, conditions for the splittingoff of () from an arbitrary matrix-valued function W(), j-expanding in ¦|< 1, are formed, a theorem on the parametrization of a j-elementary matrix-valued function () of full rank is proved, and a decomposition of () of full rank into the product of parametrized j-elementary factors of full rank with simple poles at the point ₀ is found.Translated from Teoriya Funktsii, Funktsional'nyi Analiz i Ikh Prilozheniya, No. 50, pp. 62–74, 1988.

Central orderings in fields of real meromorphic function germs

Let X_oR ⁿ be an irreducible analytic germ and the order space of its field of meromorphicfunetion germs. A formal half-branch in X_o is a kind of C-map germ c[0,)X_o; an ordering is centered at c if it contains the functions which are positive on c. We obtain a partition ¹,...,^d, d=dim X_o, of the set ^* of central (i.e.: centered at some half-branch) orderings, according to the dimension of half-branches. Then we show that all ^e, e= 1,.,d, as well as the set \^* of noncentral orderings, are dense in . Finally, we solve the 17th Hubert Problem for analytic germs.     

k-regular factors and semi-k-regular factors in bipartite graphs

LetG be a graph, andk1 an integer. LetU be a subset ofV(G), and letF be a spanning subgraph ofG such that deg _F (x)=k for allx V(G)–U. If deg _F (x)k for allxU, thenF is called an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setU, and if deg _F (x)k for allxU, thenF is called a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setU. Now letG=(X, Y;E(G)) be a bipartite graph with bipartition (X,Y) such that X=Yk+2. We prove the following two results.(1) Suppose that for each subsetU ₁X such that U ₁=max{k+1, X+1/2},G has an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setU ₁Y, and for each subsetU ₂Y such that U ₂=max{k+1, X+1/2},G has an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setXU ₂. ThenG has ak-factor.(2) Suppose that for each subsetU ₁X such that U ₁=X–1/k+1,G has a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setU ₁Y, and for each subsetU ₂Y such that U ₂=X–1/k+1,G has a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setXU ₂. ThenG has ak-factor.     

Uniform distribution of integral points on multidimensional ellipsoids

Let Q(X), X^T=(x₁,...,x_l), be a positive definite, integral-valued, primitive, quadratic form of l4 variables, let () be the number of solutions of Eq. Q(X)=n, let (,) be the number of the solution of the equation Q(X)=n such that X/, where is an arbitrary convex domain on Q(X)=1 with a piecewise smooth boundary. One investigates the asymptotic behavior of the quantity (,) (n). In the case of an even l4 the result is formulated in the following manner: for (n,N)=1 and n one has, >o, where() is the measure of the domain , normalized by the condition(E)=1, where E is the ellipsoid Q(X)=1. Weaker results have been obtained earlier by various authors. In the case of the simplest domains (belt, cap) the remainder in (1) can be brought to the form. The last estimate for large l is close to an unimprovable one. The proof makes use of the theory of modular forms and of Deligne's estimates.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Vector Valued Differentiation Theorems for Multiparameter Additive Processes in Lp Spaces

Let X be a Banach space and (,,µ) be a -finite measure space. We consider a strongly continuous d-dimensional semigroup T={T(u):u=(u₁,..., u_d, u_i >0, 1 i d} of linear contractions on L_p((,,µ); X), with 1 p<. In this paper differentiation theorems are proved for d-dimensional bounded processes in L_p((,,µ); X) which are additive with respect to T. In the theorems below we assume that each T(u) possesses a contraction majorant P(u) defined on L_p((,,µ); R), that is, P(u) is a positive linear contraction on L_p((,,µ); R) such that T(u)f(w) P(u)f(·)() almost everywhere on for all f L_p((,,µ); X).

The behavior of the poles z_n(), n=1,2,... of the scattering matrix of the operatorl u=–u(x), x , (u/n)+(x)u|=0 as 0 is considered.

New lower semicontinuity results for polyconvex integrals

Summary We study integral functionals of the formF(u, )= f(u)dx, defined foru C¹(;R ^k), R ⁿ . The functionf is assumed to be polyconvex and to satisfy the inequalityf(A) c₀¦(A)¦ for a suitable constant c₀ > 0, where (A) is then-vector whose components are the determinants of all minors of thek×n matrixA. We prove thatF is lower semicontinuous onC ¹(;R ^k) with respect to the strong topology ofL ¹(;R ^k). Then we consider the relaxed functional , defined as the greatest lower semicontinuous functional onL ¹(;R ^k ) which is less than or equal toF on C¹(;R ^k). For everyu BV(;R ^k) we prove that (u,) f(u)dx+c₀¦D^su¦(), whereDu=u dx+D^su is the Lebesgue decomposition of the Radon measureDu. Moreover, under suitable growth conditions onf, we show that (u,)= f(u)dx for everyu W^1,p(;R ^k), withp min{n,k}. We prove also that the functional (u, ) can not be represented by an inte- gral for an arbitrary functionu BV_loc(R ⁿ;R ^k). In fact, two examples show that, in general, the set function (u, ) is not subadditive whenu BV_loc(R ⁿ;R ^k), even ifu W _loc ^1,p (R ⁿ;R ^k) for everyp < min{n,k}. Finally, we examine in detail the properties of the functionsu BV(;R ^k) such that (u, )= f(u)dx, particularly in the model casef(A)=¦(A)¦.

Runge property and multiplicity of solutions for elliptic equations in ℝN with a monotone nonlinearity

In this paper, we describe a method for extending (in some approximated sense) solutions of a nonlinear P.D.E. on a domain , to solutions in a domain containing . Such an extension property, the Runge property, is well known for a large class of linear problems including elliptic equations. We prove here the Runge property for semilinear problems of the kind -u+g(u)=f, with f L _loc ¹ (^N). (As a consequence, we get infinitely many solutions for these problems). The proof is based on a homotopy method, and requires a refinement of the linear results: We prove that the Runge extension v on of a solution u in for a linear elliptic equation Lu=f can be choosen in order to depend continuously on u and the coefficients of L.

Holomorphe Funktionen auf Gebieten über Banach-Räumen zu vorgegebenen Konvergenzradien

Given a function: ₊ on a domain spread over an infinite dimensional complex Banach space E with a Schauder basis such that -log is plurisubharmonic and d (d denotes the boundary distance on ) one can find a holomorphic function f: with _f, where _f is the radius of convergence of f. If, in addition, is locally Lipschitz continuous with constant 1, f can be chosen so that (3M)^–1 _f, where M is the basis constant of E. In the particular case of E= ₁ there are holomorphic functions f on with= _f.     

Boundary control of heat conduction

The paper considers control of the heat conduction process u_t — u = g from the initial state u(x, 0) to the final state u(x, t₁) in a fixed (finite) time t₁ via the coefficient (z) in the boundary condition Bu = (u/n) + (x)u. A uniqueness theorem is proved for the problem to find the process—control pair (u, ). The control problem is posed in terms of the coefficient in a boundary condition of the form Bu = (u/n) + (t)u.Translated from Nelineinye Dinamicheskie Sistemy: Kachestvennyi Analiz i Upravlenie — Sbornik Trudov, No. 3, pp. 93–97, 1993.

Relaxation of a Quadratic Functional Defined by a Nonnegative Unbounded Matrix

We study the lower semicontinuous envelope in L^p(), F, of a functional F of the form F(u)=A uudx where A=A(x) is not strictly elliptic and not bounded. We prove that F; may also be written as F;(u)= Buudx with B=AP A for a matrix P which is the matrix of an orthogonal projection. In the one-dimensional case, we characterize the domain of F and we explicit the matrix P.
