On the computation of modules of long quadrilaterals

We study quadrilateralsQ which are given by two intervals on {:Im = 0} and {:Im = 1}, and two Jordan arcs ₁, ₂, in {:0 Im 1} connecting these two intervals. Many practical problems require the determination of the modulem(Q) ofQ, but ifQ is long, i.e., if

On the preservation of periodic monotonicity

A 2-periodic continuous real functionf is said to beperiodically monotone if it has the following property: there exist numbert ₁t ₂t ₃t ₁+2 such thatf is nonincreasing fort ₁t ₂ and nondecreasing int ₂tt ₃. For any 2-periodic, integrable real functiong with ₀ ² |g(t|dt) we define

Investigations on slow versus fast growing: How to majorize slow growing functions nontrivially by fast growing ones

Let T() be the ordinal notation system from Buchholz-Schütte (1988). [The order type of the countable segmentT()₀ is — by Rathjen (1988) — the proof-theoretic ordinal the proof-theoretic ordinal ofACA ₀ + ( ₁ ^l –TR).] In particular let _a denote the enumeration function of the infinite cardinals and leta ₀ a denote the partial collapsing operation on T() which maps ordinals of T() into the countable segment T ₀ of T(). Assume that the (fast growing) extended Grzegorczyk hierarchy and the slow growing hierarchy are defined with respect to the natural system of distinguished fundamental sequences of Buchholz and Schütte (1988) in the following way:

Circularity of Finite Groups without Fixed Points

Let áA, B | A^m=1, Bⁿ=A^t, BAB^-1=A^r?\langle A, B\,\vert\, A^\mu=1,\, B^\nu=A^t,\, BAB^{-1}=A^\rho\rangle where and are relative prime numbers, t = /s and s = gcd( – 1,), and is the order of modulo . We prove that if (1) = 2, and (2) is embeddable into the multiplicative group of some skew field, then is circular. This means that there is some additive group N on which acts fixed point freely, and |((a)+b)((c)+d)| 2 whenever a,b,c,d N, a0c, are such that (a)+b(c)+d.     

On the essential norm of the Cauchy singular integral operator in weighted rearrangement-invariant spaces

In this paper we extend necessary conditions for Fredholmness of singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients in rearrangement-invariant spaces [19] to the weighted caseX(,w). These conditions are formulated in terms of indices (Q _t w) and (Q _t w) of a submultiplicative functionQ _t w, which is associated with local properties of the space, of the curve, and of the weight at the pointt. Using these results we obtain a lower estimate for the essential norm |S| of the Cauchy singular integral operatorS in reflexive weighted rearrangement-invariant spacesX(,w) over arbitrary Carleson curves :

On maximal ranges of polynomial spaces in the unit disk

Let be a domain in C, 0, and let _n ⁰ () be the set of polynomials of degreen such thatP(0)=0 andP(D), whereD denotes the unit disk. The maximal range _n is then defined to be the union of all setsP(D),P _n ⁰ (). We derive necessary and, in the case of ft convex, sufficient conditions for extremal polynomials, namely those boundaries whose ranges meet _n . As an application we solve explicitly the cases where is a half-plane or a strip-domain. This also implies a number of new inequalities, for instance, for polynomials with positive real part inD. All essential extremal polynomials found so far in the convex cases are univalent inD. This leads to the formulation of a problem. It should be mentioned that the general theory developed in this paper also works for other than polynomial spaces.Communicated by J. Milne Anderson.     

A geometric approach to the cascade approximation operator for wavelets

This paper is devoted to an approximation problem for operators in Hilbert space, that appears when one tries to study geometrically thecascade algorithm in wavelet theory.

The GHS inequality and the Riemann hypothesis

LetV(t) be the even function on (–, ) which is related to the Riemann xi-function by (x/2)=4 _– exp(ixt–V(t))dt. In a proof of certain moment inequalities which are necessary for the validity of the Riemann Hypothesis, it was previously shown thatV'(t)/t is increasing on (0, ). We prove a stronger property which is related to the GHS inequality of statistical mechanics, namely thatV' is convex on [0, ). The possible relevance of the convexity ofV' to the Riemann Hypothesis is discussed.Communicated by Richard Varga.

Die Verteilung der schlichten Funktionen in einem Funktionenraum

We consider the set of regular functions H = { f:f = z + ?_{n = 2}^￥ nb_n zⁿ ,|b_n | \leqslant 1} on |z| < 1H = \{ f:f = z + \sum\limits_{n = 2}^\infty {nb_n z^n ,|b_n |{\mathbf{ }} \leqslant 1\} {\mathbf{ }}} on{\mathbf{ }}|z|{\mathbf{ }}< {\mathbf{ }}1 . 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.

Let d _n <> for each_nN, whered _n =d/|W _n (e ⁱ )|². We consider the table of polynomials _n,m such that for each fixednN the system _n,m,mN, is orthonormal with respect tod _n . If

Maximal polynomial subordination to univalent functions in the unit disk

Letf be a conformal mapping fromD onto ,f(0)=0.

Realizations of regular polytopes

Let be a finite regular incidence-polytope. A realization of is given by an imageV of its vertices under a mapping into some euclidean space, which is such that every element of the automorphism group () of induces an isometry ofV. It is shown in this paper that the family of all possible realizations (up to congruence) of forms, in a natural way, a closed convex cone, which is also denoted by The dimensionr of is the number of equivalence classes under () of diagonals of , and is also the number of unions of double cosets ^{** *–1*} ( ^*), where ^* is the subgroup of () which fixes some given vertex of . The fine structure of corresponds to the irreducible orthogonal representations of (). IfG is such a representation, let its degree bed _G , and let the subgroup ofG corresponding to ^* have a fixed space of dimensionw _G . Then the relations

Analysis of Non-normal Operators via Aluthge Transformation

Let T be a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space . In this paper, we show that T has Bishops property () if and only if its Aluthge transformation has property (). As applications, we can obtain the following results. Every w-hyponormal operator has property (). Quasi-similar w-hyponormal operators have equal spectra and equal essential spectra. Moreover, in the last section, we consider Chs problem that whether the semi-hyponormality of T implies the spectral mapping theorem Re(T) = (Re T) or not.
