On zeros of functions analytic in a half plane and completeness of systems of exponents

Sequences of zeros are described for functionsf, which, in the right half plane, are analytic and satisfy the condition ¦f(z)¦0(1) exp (¦z¦), 0<. A criterion of completeness of a system of exponents in a certain space of functions analytic in a half strip is established.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 484–500, May, 1994.     

Solution of two sequencing problems

The solution of the following problems is offered. Suppose a multiset J (¦J¦=p) is given. For each pair of elements and J, a number 1 P is given. Moreover, if 1 < x<p then x is undefined. If x=1, then x=p. Problem 1. Find the permutation ₁..._F of elements of the multiset J satisfying the following conditions. Let _i, _i=. If i,j < x, thenj <i. If i,j > x, then i<j. Such a permutation is called a PC-schedule. Problem 2. Find a PC-schedule in which the following property holds: if i < x < j, _i=, _j=, then. Such a PC-schedule is called an SC-schedule. The conditions under which these problems have solutions are studied. For their solution an algorithm of shifts is used with the complexity O(¦B(J)¦²¦J¦).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Krasnosel'skii numbers for bounded finitely starlike sets inR d

For eachk andd, 1kd, definef(d, d)=d+1 andf(d, k)=2d if 1kd–1. The following results are established:Let be a uniformly bounded collection of compact, convex sets inR ^d . For a fixedk, 1kd, dim {MM in }k if and only if for some > 0, everyf(d, k) members of contain a commonk-dimensional set of measure (volume) at least.LetS be a bounded subset ofR ^d . Assume that for some fixedk, 1kd, there exists a countable family of (k–l)-flats {H _i :i1} inR ^d such that clS S {H_i i 1 } and for eachi1, (clS S) H _i has (k–1) dimensional measure zero. Every finite subset ofS sees viaS a set of positivek-dimensional measure if and only if for some>0, everyf(d,k) points ofS see viaS a set ofk-dimensional measure at least .The numbers off(d,d) andf(d, 1) above are best possible.Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-8705336.

Regularization of the boundary-value problem for Sturm-Liouville equations with operator-valued coefficients

A regularization method is used to find an approximate solution to the inhomogeneous boundary-value problem –y(t)+Ay(t)=y(t)+h(t), t [0, b], cos CY–sin CY= where A is a self- adjoint unbounded operator on a Hilbert space H; C is an operator on H H; H H; h(t) L ₂ (H, (0, b)); Y, Y are regularizing boundary values of y (t).Translated fromVychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 69, pp. 23–28, 1989.

Local partial regularity theorems for suitable weak solutions of a class of degenerate systems

A partial regularity theorem is established for a particular class of weak solutions to the systemu/t– div(K(u)u)=(u)¦¦², div((u))=0 on a bounded domain inR ^N . Under our assumptions, (u) may exhibit exponential decay, and thus the system may be degenerate. Our proof is based upon a blow-up argument.This work was supported in part by NSF Grant DMS9424448.     

Über Positive Resolventenwerte Positiver Operatoren

In this paper we study the positive resolvent values of positive operators respectively of positive elements in Banach lattice ordered algebras. In the matrix case these values are just the inverse M-matrices. One of the main results is the following: Let A be a Banach lattice ordered algebra. A positive invertible element xA is a resolvent value of a positive element yA if and only if the element x satisfies the negative principle: If aA, < 0 and xaa then xa 0.     

φ-Factors for Function Seminorms

Let (, A, ) be a measure space, a function seminorm on M, the space of measurable functions on , and M the space {f M : (f) < }. Every Borel measurable function : [0, ) [0, ) induces a function : M M by (f)(x) = (|f(x)|). We introduce the concepts of -factor and -invariant space. If is a -subadditive seminorm function, we give, under suitable conditions over , necessary and sufficient conditions in order that M be invariant and prove the existence of -factors for . We also give a characterization of the best -factor for a -subadditive function seminorm when is -finite. All these results generalize those about multiplicativity factors for function seminorms proved earlier.     

About C-rigid quadrics

In the article strongly nondegenerate (k, n)-quadrics all of whose linear automorphisms are of the formzz, ¦¦2, {0} are considered. Quadrics all of whose linear automorphisms are of this form were calledc-rigid by V. Beloshapka. The main result of the article is the following: anyc-rigid strongly nondegenerate (k, n)-quadric has no nonlinear automorphisms. A table indicating the relationship between linear and nonlinear automorphisms for (k, n)-quadrics is presented.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 59, No. 2, pp. 224–229, February, 1996.

Quasifractional Approximants in the Theory of Composite Materials

We study the effective heat conductivity of regular arrays of perfectly conducting spheres embedded in a matrix with unit conductivity. Quasifractional approximants allow us to derive an approximate analytical solution, valid for all values of the spheres volume fraction [0, _max] (_max is the maximum volume fraction of a spheres). As a starting point we use a perturbation approach for 0 and an asymptotic solution for _max. Three different spatial arrangements of the spheres, simple cubic, body centred and face centred cubic arrays, are considered. Results obtained give a good agreement with numerical data.     

The absolute convergence of weighted sums of dependent sequences of random variables

Summary The sum a _n X _n of a weighted series of a sequence {X _n } of identically distributed (not necessarily independent) random variables (r.v.s.) is a.s. absolutely convergent if for some in 0<1, ¦a _n ¦ < and E¦X _n ¦ < ; if a _n =z ⁿ for some ¦z¦<1 then it suffices that E(log¦X _n ¦)₊<. Examples show that these sufficient conditions are not necessary. For mutually independent {X _n } necessary conditions can be given: the a.s. absolute convergence of X _n z ⁿ (all ¦z¦<1) then implies E(log¦X _n ¦)₊ < , while if the X _n are non-negative stable r.v.s. of index , ¦a _n X _n ¦< if and only if ¦a _n ¦ < .     

Some more general bounds on the residual term of the Lagrange interpolation formula

Error bounds are derived for the Lagrange interpolation formula and for the k-th derivative of the residual term of this formula in terms of the Lipschitz constant of the n-th derivative for the case with (n+1) nodes and also for the case when the functions satisfy a special condition: G x, y, z [a, b]: ¦ (x)(z–y) +(y)(x–z)+(z)(y–x)¦G¦(x–y)(y–z)(z–x)¦.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 73, pp. 27–32, 1992.     

Some homological properties of commutative semitrivial ring extensions

LetR be a commutative ring with 1 andM anR-module. If:M _R MR is anR-module homomorphism satisfying(mm)=(mm) and(mm)m=m(mm), the additive abelian groupRM becomes a commutative ring, if multiplication is defined by (r,m)(r,m)=(rr+(mm),rm+rm). This ring is called the semitrivial extension ofR byM and and it is denoted byR M. This generalizes the notion of a trivial extension and leads to a more interesting variety of examples. The purpose of this paper is to studyR M; in particular, we are interested in some homological properties ofR M as that of being Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein or regular. A sample result: Let (R,m) be a local Noetherian ring,M a finitely generatedR-module and Im() m. ThenR M is Gorenstein if and only if eitherRM is Gorenstein orR is Gorenstein,M is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay module andMM ^*, where the isomorphism is given by the adjoint of.

Characterizations of logA≥logB and normaloid operators via Heinz inequality

In 1951, Heinz showed the following useful norm inequality:If A, B0and XB(H), then AXB ^r X^1–r A ^r XB ^r holds for r [0, 1]. In this paper, we shall show the following two applications of this inequality:Firstly, by using Furuta inequality, we shall show an extension of Cordes inequality. And we shall show a characterization of chaotic order (i.e., logAlogB) by a norm inequality.Secondly, we shall study the condition under which , where is Aluthge transformation ofT. Moreover we shall show a characterization of normaloid operators (i.e.,r(T)=T) via Aluthge transformation.
