Embedding Theorems in B-Spaces and Applications

This study focuses on the anisotropic Besov-Lions type spaces B^lp,θ（Ω;E0,E） associated with Banach spaces E0 and E. Under certain conditions, depending on l =（l1,l2,…,ln）and α=（α1,α2,…,αn）,the most regular class of interpolation space Eα between E0 and E are found so that the mixed differential operators D^α are bounded and compact, from B^l＋s p,θ（Ω;E0,E） to B^s p,θ（Ω;Eα）.These results are applied to concrete vector-valued function spaces and to anisotropic differential-operator equations with parameters to obtain conditions that guarantee the uniform B separability with respect to these parameters. By these results the maximal B-regularity for parabolic Cauchy problem is obtained. These results are also applied to infinite systems of the quasi-elliptic partial differential equations and parabolic Cauchy problems with parameters to obtain sufficient conditions that ensure the same properties.     

Restricted summability of Fourier transforms and local Hardy spaces

A general summability method, the so-called θ-summability is considered for multi-dimensional Fourier transforms. Under some conditions on θ, it is proved that the maximal operator of the θ-means defined in a cone is bounded from the amalgam Hardy space W（hp, e∞） to W（Lp,e∞）. This implies the almost everywhere convergence of the θ-means in a cone for all f ∈ W（L1, e∞） velong to L1.     

Embedding and Maximal Regular Differential Operators in Sobolev-Lions Spaces

This study focuses on vector-valued anisotropic Sobolev-Lions spaces associated with Banach spaces E0, E. Several conditions are found that ensure the continuity and compactness of embedding operators that are optimal regular in these spaces in terms of interpolations of spaces E0 and E. In particular, the most regular class of interpolation spaces Eα between E0, E depending on α and the order of space are found and the boundedness of differential operators D^α from this space to Eα-valued Lp,γ spaces is proved. These results are applied to partial differential-operator equations with parameters to obtain conditions that guarantee the maximal Lp,γ regularity and R-positivity uniformly with respect to these parameters.     

UNIFORM CONVERGENCE OF CESARO MEANS OF NEGATIVE ORDER OF DOUBLE TRIGONOMETRIC FOURIER SERIES

In this paper we prove that iff ∈ C([-π,π]2) and the function f is bounded partial p-variation for some p ∈ [1, ∞), then the double trigonometric Fourier series of a function f is uniformly (C;-α,-β) summable (α β＜ 1/p,α,β＞ 0) in the sense of Pringsheim. If α β≥ 1/p, then there exists a continuous function f0 of bounded partial double trigonometric Fourier series of fo diverge over cubes.     

Classification and geometric aspects of vector valued Fourier transforms

It is shown that for any locally compact abelian group ?? and 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, the Fourier type p norm with respect to ?? of a bounded linear operator T between Banach spaces, denoted by ‖T |???^??_p‖, satisfies ‖T |???^??_p‖ ≤ ‖T |???^??_p‖, where ?? is the direct product of ?₂, ?₃, ?₄, … It is also shown that if ?? is not of bounded order then Cⁿ_p ‖T |???^??_p‖ ≤ ‖T |???^??_p‖, where ?? is the circle group, n is a onnegative integer and C^p = . From these inequalities, for any locally compact abelian group ?? ‖T |???^??₂‖ ≤ ‖T |???^??₂‖, and moreover if ?? is not of bounded order then ‖T |???^??₂‖ = ‖T |???^??₂‖. The Hilbertian property and B‐convexity are discussed in the framework of Fourier type p norms. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On the power sequence of a graph

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence (p ₁,p ₂, …,p _n ) of positive integers to be the power sequence of a connected graph onn vertices withm edges are given. The maximum power of a connected graph onn vertices withm edges and the class of all extremal graphs are also determined.     

Generating Random Vectors in (ℤ/<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>ℤ)<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis></Superscript> via an Affine Random Process

This paper considers some random processes of the form X _n+1=T X _n +B _n (mod p) where B _n and X _n are random variables over (ℤ/pℤ) ^d and T is a fixed d×d integer matrix which is invertible over the complex numbers. For a particular distribution for B _n , this paper improves results of Asci to show that if T has no complex eigenvalues of length 1, then for integers p relatively prime to det (T), order (log p)² steps suffice to make X _n close to uniformly distributed where X ₀ is the zero vector. This paper also shows that if T has a complex eigenvalue which is a root of unity, then order p ^b steps are needed for X _n to get close to uniformly distributed for some positive value b≤2 which may depend on T and X ₀ is the zero vector.     

A boundedness result for twisted convolution

We consider twisted convolution operators with kernels having singularities on a sphere and having as Fourier transform the oscillatory symbol m_α(|ξ|) = |ξ|^–αe^i|ξ|, 0 ≤ ??α < 2n. We give integral representations for such operators and, as a principal result, we study L_p–L_q estimates for them.     

Riesz means for the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group

The uniform boundedness of the Riesz means for the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg groupH ⁿ is considered. It is proved thatS _R ^α are uniformly bounded onL ^p(Hⁿ) for 1≤p≤2 provided α>α(p)=(2n+1)[(1/p)−(1/2)].     

The Graded Algebra Generated by Two Eulerian Derivatives

We study the algebra R _p,q generated by the Eulerian derivatives for two parameters p and q. Subject to certain conditions on the parameters, we show that R _p,q is a finitely presented N-graded algebra of Gelfand–Kirillov dimension 3. We establish a criterion for the cyclic module R _p,q /R _p,q f to be Noetherian, where f is homogeneous of degree 1. For some choices of the parameters, this criterion always holds and we know of no situation where it fails. It is not known whether R _p,q is Noetherian. We classify the point modules for R _p,q and determine the normal elements and graded automorphisms for R _p,q .     

Asymptotic properties of Cramér-Smirnov statistics—A new approach

Let Y₁,…, Y_n be independent identically distributed random variables with distribution function F(x, θ), θ = (θ′₁, θ′₂), where θ_i (i = 1, 2) is a vector of p_i components, p = p₁ + p₂ and for θI, an open interval in ^p, F(x, θ) is continuous. In the present paper the author shows that the asymptotic distribution of modified Cramér-Smirnov statistic under H_n: θ₁ = θ₁₀ + n^−1/2γ, θ₂ unspecified, where γ is a given vector independent of n, is the distribution of a sum of weighted noncentral χ₁² variables whose weights are eigenvalues of a covariance function of a Gaussian process and noncentrality parameters are Fourier coefficients of the mean function of the Gaussian process. Further, the author exploits the special form of the covariance function by using perturbation theory to obtain the noncentrality parameters and the weights. The technique is applicable to other goodness-of-fit statistics such as U² [G. S. Watson, Biometrika 48 (1961), 109–114].     

Minimax estimation of the mean of spherically symmetric distributions under general quadratic loss

For X one observation on a p-dimensional (p ≥ 4) spherically symmetric (s.s.) distribution about θ, minimax estimators whose risks dominate the risk of X (the best invariant procedure) are found with respect to general quadratic loss, L(δ, θ) = (δ − θ)′ D(δ − θ) where D is a known p × p positive definite matrix. For C a p × p known positive definite matrix, conditions are given under which estimators of the form δ_a,r,C,D(X) = (I − (ar(|X|²)) D^−1/2CD^1/2 |X|⁻²)X are minimax with smaller risk than X. For the problem of estimating the mean when n observations X₁, X₂, …, X_n are taken on a p-dimensional s.s. distribution about θ, any spherically symmetric translation invariant estimator, δ(X₁, X₂, …, X_n), with have a s.s. distribution about θ. Among the estimators which have these properties are best invariant estimators, sample means and maximum likelihood estimators. Moreover, under certain conditions, improved robust estimators can be found.     

Gray codes for column-convex polyominoes and a new class of distributive lattices

We introduce the problem of polyomino Gray codes, which is the listing of all members of certain classes of polyominoes such that successive polyominoes differ by some well-defined closeness condition (e.g., the movement of one cell). We discuss various closeness conditions and provide several Gray codes for the class of column-convex polyominoes with a fixed number of cells in each column. For one of our closeness conditions, a natural new class of distributive lattice arises: the partial order is defined on the set of m-tuples [S₁]×[S₂]××[S_m], where each S_i>1 and [S_i]={0,1,…,S_i−1}, and the cover relations are (p₁,p₂,…,p_m)(p₁+1,p₂,…,p_m) and (p₁,p₂,…,p_j,p_j+1,…,p_m)(p₁,p₂,…,p_j−1,p_j+1+1,…,p_m). We also discuss some properties of this lattice.     

Optimal error estimates of the local discontinuous Galerkin method for nonlinear second‐order elliptic problems on Cartesian grids

In this paper, we study the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) methods for two‐dimensional nonlinear second‐order elliptic problems of the type u_xx + u_yy = f(x, y, u, u_x, u_y) , in a rectangular region Ω with classical boundary conditions on the boundary of Ω . Convergence properties for the solution and for the auxiliary variable that approximates its gradient are established. More specifically, we use the duality argument to prove that the errors between the LDG solutions and the exact solutions in the L² norm achieve optimal (p + 1)th order convergence, when tensor product polynomials of degree at most p are used. Moreover, we prove that the gradient of the LDG solution is superclose with order p + 1 toward the gradient of Gauss–Radau projection of the exact solution. The results are valid in two space dimensions on Cartesian meshes using tensor product polynomials of degree p ≥ 1 , and for both mixed Dirichlet–Neumann and periodic boundary conditions. Preliminary numerical experiments indicate that our theoretical findings are optimal.     

Simultaneous best approximation by three polynomials

Let [a, b] be any interval and let p₀, p₁, p_k be any three polynomials of degrees 0, 1, k, respectively, where k 2. A set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an f in C[a, b] such that p_i is the best approximation to f from the space of all polynomials of degree less than or equal to i, for all i = 0, 1, k, is given.     

On sample path properties of semistable processes

This paper contains three main results: In the first result a correspondence principle between semistable measures on L_p, 1 ≤ p < ∞, and Banach space valued semistable processes is established. In the second result it is shown that the paths of a Banach space valued semistable process belong to L_p with probability zero or one, and necessary and sufficient conditions for the two alternatives to hold are given. In the third result necessary and sufficient conditions are given for almost sure path absolute continuity for certain Banach space valued semistable processes.     

3-Sasakian Geometry, Nilpotent Orbits, and Exceptional Quotients

Using 3-Sasakian reduction techniques we obtain infinite familiesof new 3-Sasakian manifolds M (p ₁,p ₂, p ₃) andM (p ₁,p ₂, p ₃, p ₄) in dimension 11 and 15 respectively. The metric cone on (p ₁,p ₂, p ₃) is a generalization ofthe Kronheimer hyperkähler metric on the regular maximalnilpotent orbit of sl (3, C)whereas the cone on M (p ₁,p ₂, p ₃, p ₄)generalizes the hyperkähler metric onthe 16-dimensional orbit of so(6, C).These are the first examples of 3-Sasakian metrics which are neither homogeneous nor toric. In addition we consider some further U(1)-reductions of M(p ₁,p ₂, p ₃).These yield examples of nontoric 3-Sasakian orbifold metrics in dimensions 7. As a result we obtain explicit families O() of compact self-dual positivescalar curvature Einstein metrics with orbifoldsingularities and with only one Killing vector field.     

Asymptotic behavior and uniqueness of blow-up solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the problem Δ _p u = f (u) in Ω, u = ∞ on ∂Ω, under general conditions on the function f, where Ω _p is the p-Laplace operator. We show that the technique used by the author for the special case p = 2 works in this more general setting, and that the behavior described by various authors for the case p = 2 is easily derived from this technique for the general case.     

Estimation of the memory parameter by fitting fractionally differenced autoregressive models

Estimation of the memory parameter, d, by fitting a fractionally differenced autoregression of order p, where p approaches infinity simultaneously with the observed series length, n, is examined. Under some conditions on growth of p with respect to n and on the short-memory component, which admits an infinite autoregressive representation with coefficients a_j, the estimator is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal, where p may be taken to be proportional to logn. The joint asymptotic distribution of the estimators of d and of the a_j is also derived.
