The magnitudes of the exponents,() depends on whether the arguments u p occur or not in f (x,u,p).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Distoriton of area and conditioned Brownian motion

Summary In a simply connected planar domainD the expected lifetime of conditioned Brownian motion may be viewed as a function on the set of hyperbolic geodesics for the domain. We show that each hyperbolic geodesic induces a decomposition ofD into disjoint subregions and that the subregions are obtained in a natural way using Euclidean geometric quantities relating toD. The lifetime associated with on each _j is then shown to be bounded by the product of the diameter of the smallest ball containing _j and the diameter of the largest ball in _j . Because this quantity is never larger than, and in general is much smaller than, the area of the largest ball in _j it leads to finite lifetime estimates in a variety of domains of infinite area.Research of the first author was supported in part by NSF Grant DMS-9100811Research of the second author was supported in part by NSF Grant DMS-9105407

Some inequalities about the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes

Let R(r, m) be the rth order Reed-Muller code of length 2 ^m , and let (r, m) be its covering radius. We prove that if 2 k m - r - 1, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m + 2(k - 1). We also prove that if m - r 4, 2 k m - r - 1, and R(r, m) has a coset with minimal weight (r, m) which does not contain any vector of weight (r, m) + 2, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m) + 2k(. These inequalities improve repeated use of the known result (r + 1, m + 1) (r, m).This work was supported by a grant from the Research Council of Wright State University.     

Extension of a class of fibered loops to kinematic spaces

The notion of the split extension of a commutative kinematic space is extended to the case of a weak K-loop with an incidence fibration (F, +, ). Theorem 1 states conditions under wich the quasi-direct productG F⁺ _Q with Aut(F, +) can be turned in a fibered incidence group (G, , o) such that (F, +, ) becomes embeddable inG, and Theorem 2 the additional assumption such that (G, , o) is even a kinematic space. In section 4, Theorem 3 shows that there are suitable examples of proper K-loops with an incidence fibration (derived from hyperbolic planes) on which one can apply Theorem 2.Dedicated to Erich Ellers on the occasion of his 70th birthdayResearch supported by M.U.R.S.T. 40% and by C.N.R.

Circularity of Finite Groups without Fixed Points

Let be a fixed point free group given by the presentation 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 long term behavior of some finite particle systems

Summary We consider the problem of comparing large finite and infinite systems with locally interacting components, and present a general comparison scheme for the case when the infinite system is nonergodic. We show that this scheme holds for some specific models. One of these is critical branching random walk onZ ^d . Let _t denote this system, and let _t ^N denote a finite version of _t defined on the torus [–N,N] ^d Z ^d . Ford3 we prove that for stationary, shift ergodic initial measures with density , that ifT(N) andT(N)/(2N+1)^d s[0,] asN, then {v }, 0 is the set of extremal invariant measures for the infinite system _t andQ _s is the transition function of Feller's branching diffusion. We prove several extensions and refinements of this result. The other systems we consider are the voter model and the contact process.Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant DMS-8802055, by the U.S. Army Research Office through the Mathematical Sciences Institute at Cornell University and by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft through the SFB 123 at the Universität Heidelberg     

Characterization of regular singular linear systems of difference equations

This paper deals with linear systems of difference equations whose coefficients admit generalized factorial series representations atz=. We are concerned with the behavior of solutions near the pointz= (the only fixed singularity for difference equations). It is important to know whether a system of linear difference equations has a regular singularity or an irregular singularity. To a given system () we can assign a number , called the Moser's invariant of (), so that the system is regular singular if and only if 1. We shall develop an algorithm, implementable in a computer algebra system, which reduces in a finite number of steps the system of difference equations to an irreducible form. The computation ot the number can be done explicitly from this irreducible form.     

Null Controllability in Unbounded Domains for the Semilinear Heat Equation with Nonlinearities Involving Gradient Terms

We consider the null controllability problem for the semilinear heat equation with nonlinearities involving gradient terms in an unbounded domain of ^N with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The control is assumed to be distributed along a subdomain such that the uncontrolled region \ is bounded. Using Carleman inequalities, we prove first the null controllability of the linearized equation. Then, by a fixed-point method, we obtain the main result for the semilinear case. This result asserts that, when the nonlinearity is ^C1 and globally Lipschitz, the system is null controllable.     

New extremal properties for constructing conformal mappings

Summary It is well known that for a given simply connected regionR containing zero the uniform norm attains its minimum in the class of all holomorphic functions normalized byf(0)=0 andf(0)=1 only for the conformal mappingfRD(r)={z|z|}. It is shown that this theorem is still valid if one replaces the ordinary modulus | | on by any other norm on . For instance it is possible to obtain direct mappings ofR onto parallelograms, rectangles and ellipses. For the special norms |₁ and | this leads to a simple and fast computational technique involving linear programming methods. Several numerical examples are given.

Interpolation theorems for a family of spanning subgraphs

Let G be a graph with order p, size q and component number . For each i between p – and q, let be the family of spanning i-edge subgraphs of G with exactly components. For an integer-valued graphical invariant if H H is an adjacent edge transformation (AET) implies |(H)-(H^')|1 then is said to be continuous with respect to AET. Similarly define the continuity of with respect to simple edge transformation (SET). Let M _j() and m _j() be the invariants defined by . It is proved that both M _p–() and m _p–(;) interpolate over , if is continuous with respect to AET, and that M _j() and m _j() interpolate over , if is continuous with respect to SET. In this way a lot of known interpolation results, including a theorem due to Schuster etc., are generalized.
