The Burnside ring of fusion systems

Given a saturated fusion system on a finite p-group S we define a ring modeled on the Burnside ring of finite groups. We show that these rings have several properties in common. When is the fusion system of G we describe the relationship between these rings.     

Positive solutions of singular p-Laplacian dynamic equations with sign changing nonlinearity

Let be a time scale such that . By the Schauder fixed-point theorem and the upper and lower solution method, we present some existence criteria of the positive solution of m-point singular p-Laplacian dynamic equation with boundary conditions , where φ_p(s)=|s|^p-2s with p>1, is continuous for i=1,2,…,m-1 and nonincreasing if . The nonlinear term may be singular in its dependent variable and is allowed to change sign. Our results are new even for the corresponding differential and difference equations . As an application, an example is given to illustrate our result.

Configurations in abelian categories. II. Ringel–Hall algebras

This is the second in a series on configurations in an abelian category . Given a finite poset (I,), an (I,)-configuration (σ,ι,π) is a finite collection of objects σ(J) and morphisms ι(J,K) or in satisfying some axioms, where J,KI. Configurations describe how an object X in decomposes into subobjects.The first paper defined configurations and studied moduli spaces of (I,)-configurations in , using the theory of Artin stacks. It showed well-behaved moduli stacks of objects and configurations in exist when is the abelian category coh(P) of coherent sheaves on a projective scheme P, or mod- of representations of a quiver Q.Write for the vector space of -valued constructible functions on the stack . Motivated by the idea of Ringel–Hall algebras, we define an associative multiplication * on using pushforwards and pullbacks along 1-morphisms between configuration moduli stacks, so that is a -algebra. We also study representations of , the Lie subalgebra of functions supported on indecomposables, and other algebraic structures on .Then we generalize all these ideas to stack functions , a universal generalization of constructible functions, containing more information. When Extⁱ(X,Y)=0 for all and i>1, or when for P a Calabi–Yau 3-fold, we construct (Lie) algebra morphisms from stack algebras to explicit algebras, which will be important in the sequels on invariants counting τ-semistable objects in .     

On the Brown–Shields conjecture for cyclicity in the Dirichlet space

Let be the Dirichlet space, namely the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk whose derivative is square-integrable. We establish a new sufficient condition for a function to be cyclic, i.e. for to be dense in . This allows us to prove a special case of the conjecture of Brown and Shields that a function is cyclic in iff it is outer and its zero set (defined appropriately) is of capacity zero.     

Norms of some operators on the Bergman and the Hardy space in the unit polydisk and the unit ball

Let H(X) be the class of all holomorphic functions on the set and uH(X). We calculate operator norms of the multiplication operators M_u(f)=uf, on the weighted Bergman space , as well as on the Hardy space H^p(X), where X is the unit polydisk or the unit ball in . We also calculate the norm of the weighted composition operator from the weighted Bergman space , and the Hardy space , to a weighted-type space on the unit polydisk.     

Semifields of order with left nucleus and center

In [G. Marino, O. Polverino, R. Trombetti, On -linear sets of PG(3,q³) and semifields, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 114 (5) (2007) 769–788] it has been proven that there exist six non-isotopic families (i=0,…,5) of semifields of order q⁶ with left nucleus and center , according to the different geometric configurations of the associated -linear sets. In this paper we first prove that any semifield of order q⁶ with left nucleus , right and middle nuclei and center is isotopic to a cyclic semifield. Then, we focus on the family by proving that it can be partitioned into three further non-isotopic families: , , and we show that any semifield of order q⁶ with left nucleus , right and middle nuclei and center belongs to the family .

It is shown that any A-stable two-step Runge–Kutta method of order and stage order for ordinary differential equations can be extended to the P-stable method of uniform order for delay differential equations.     

Properties of multilevel block -circulants

In a previous paper we characterized unilevel block α-circulants , , 0mn-1, in terms of the discrete Fourier transform of , defined by . We showed that most theoretical and computational problems concerning A can be conveniently studied in terms of corresponding problems concerning the Fourier coefficients F₀,F₁,…,F_n-1 individually. In this paper we show that analogous results hold for (k+1)-level matrices, where the first k levels have block circulant structure and the entries at the (k+1)-st level are unstructured rectangular matrices.

All-derivable points in continuous nest algebras

Let be an operator algebra on a Hilbert space. We say that an element is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology if every strong operator topology continuous derivable linear mapping φ at G (i.e. φ(ST)=φ(S)T+Sφ(T) for any with ST=G) is a derivation. Let be a continuous nest on a complex and separable Hilbert space H. We show in this paper that every orthogonal projection operator P(M) () is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology.     

Approximation of Sobolev classes by polynomials and ridge functions

Let be the usual Sobolev class of functions on the unit ball in , and be the subclass of all radial functions in . We show that for the classes and , the orders of best approximation by polynomials in coincide. We also obtain exact orders of best approximation in of the classes by ridge functions and, as an immediate consequence, we obtain the same orders in for the usual Sobolev classes .     

Limits of small functors

For a small category enriched over a suitable monoidal category , the free completion of under colimits is the presheaf category . If is large, its free completion under colimits is the -category of small presheaves on , where a presheaf is small if it is a left Kan extension of some presheaf with small domain. We study the existence of limits and of monoidal closed structures on .

-structure on the deformation complex of a morphism

-structure is shown to exist on the deformation complex of a morphism of associative algebras. The main step of the construction is the extension of a -algebra by an associative algebra. Actions of -algebras on associative and -algebras are analyzed; extensions of -algebras by associative and -algebras that they act upon are constructed. The resulting -algebra on the deformation complex of a morphism is shown to be quasi-isomorphic to the -algebra on the deformation complex of the corresponding diagram algebra.     

Inverse eigenproblem for -symmetric matrices and their approximation

Let be a nontrivial involution, i.e., R=R⁻¹≠±I_n. We say that is R-symmetric if RGR=G. The set of all -symmetric matrices is denoted by . In this paper, we first give the solvability condition for the following inverse eigenproblem (IEP): given a set of vectors in and a set of complex numbers , find a matrix such that and are, respectively, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A. We then consider the following approximation problem: Given an n×n matrix , find such that , where is the solution set of IEP and is the Frobenius norm. We provide an explicit formula for the best approximation solution by means of the canonical correlation decomposition.

Generalized rough approximations in

In this paper we will treat a generalization of inner and outer approximations of fuzzy sets, which we will call -inner and -outer approximations respectively ( being any finite set of rational numbers in [0,1]). In particular we will discuss the case of those fuzzy sets which are definable in the logic by means of step functions from the hypercube [0,1]^k and taking value in an arbitrary (finite) subset of . Then, we will show that if a fuzzy set is definable as truth table of a formula of , then both its -inner and -outer approximation are definable as truth table of formulas of . Finally, we will introduce a generalization of abstract approximation spaces and compare our approach with the notion of fuzzy rough set.
