Limit ultraspherical series and their approximation properties

We study new series of the form $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ in which the general term $f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)$ , k = 0, 1, …, is obtained by passing to the limit as α→?1 from the general term $\hat f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ of the Fourier series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)} $ in Jacobi ultraspherical polynomials $\hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ generating, for α> ?1, an orthonormal system with weight (1 ? x ₂)α on [?1, 1]. We study the properties of the partial sums $S_n^{ - 1} (f,x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^n {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ of the limit ultraspherical series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ . In particular, it is shown that the operator S _n ^?1 (f) = S _n ^?1 (f, x) is the projection onto the subspace of algebraic polynomials p _n = p _n (x) of degree at most n, i.e., S _n (p _n ) = p _n ; in addition, S _n ^?1 (f, x) coincides with f(x) at the endpoints ±1, i.e., S _n ^?1 (f,±1) = f(±1). It is proved that the Lebesgue function Λ _n (x) of the partial sums S _n ^?1 (f, x) is of the order of growth equal to O(ln n), and, more precisely, it is proved that $\Lambda _n (x) \leqslant c(1 + \ln (1 + n\sqrt {1 - x^2 } )), - 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 1$ .

More quantitative results on walsh equiconvergence: I. Lagrange Case

Letf∈A _ρ (ρ>1), whereA _ρ denotes the class of functions analytic in ¦z¦ <ρ but not in ¦z¦≤ρ. For any positive integerl, the quantity Δ _l,n?1(f; z) (see (2.3)) has been studied extensively. Recently, V. Totik has obtained some quantitative estimates for \(\overline {\lim _{n \to \infty } } \max _{\left| z \right| = R} \left| {\Delta _{l,n - 1}^ - \left( {f;z} \right)} \right|^{1/n} \) . Here we investigate the order of pointwise convergence (or divergence) of Δ _l,n?1(f; z), i.e., we study \(B_1 \left( {f;z} \right) = \overline {\lim _{n \to \infty } } \left| {\Delta _{l,n - 1} \left( {f;z} \right)} \right|^{1/n} \) . We also study some problems arising from the results of Totik.     

Strong capacity-estimates for “fractional” norms

It is proved that for all fractionall the integral \(\int\limits_0^\infty {(p,\ell ) - cap(M_t )} dt^p\) is majorized by the P-th power norm of the functionu in the space ? _p ^l (Rⁿ) (here M_t={x∶¦u(x)¦?t} and (p,l)-cap(e) is the (p,l)-capacity of the compactum e?Rⁿ). Similar results are obtained for the spaces W _p ^l (Rⁿ) and the spaces of M. Riesz and Bessel potentials. One considers consequences regarding imbedding theorems of “fractional” spaces in ?_q(dμ), whereμ is a nonnegative measure in Rⁿ. One considers specially the case p=1.

Uniform and mean approximation by certain weighted polynomials,with applications

LetW(x):= exp(-{tiQ(x})), where, for example, Q(x) is even and convex onR, and Q(x)/logx → ∞ asx → ∞. A result of Mhaskar and Saff asserts that ifa _n =a _n (W) is the positive root of the equation $$n = ({2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 \pi }} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} \pi })\int_0^1 {{{a_n xQ'(a_n x)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{a_n xQ'(a_n x)} {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }}dx,}$$ then, given any polynomialP _n(x) of degree at mostn, the sup norm ofP _n(x)W(a _n x) overR is attained on [-1, 1]. In addition, any sequence of weighted polynomials {p _n (x)W(a _n x)} ₁ ^∞ that is uniformly bounded onR will converge to 0, for ¦x¦>1. In this paper we show that under certain conditions onW, a function g(x) continuous inR can be approximated in the uniform norm by such a sequence {p _n (x)W(a _n x)} ₁ ^∞ if and only if g(x)=0 for ¦x¦? 1. We also prove anL _p analogue for 0W(x)=exp(?|x| ^α ), when α >1. Further applications of our results are upper bounds for Christoffel functions, and asymptotic behavior of the largest zeros of orthogonal polynomials. A final application is an approximation theorem that will be used in a forthcoming proof of Freud's conjecture for |x| ^p exp(?|x| ^α ),α > 0,p > ?1.

Connection between random curves,changes of time,and regenerative times of stochastic processes

The product of spaces Φ × D is considered, where Φ is the set of all continuous, nondecreasing functions ?:[0,∞)→(0,∞), ?(0)=0, ?(t)→∞(t→∞), and D is the set of all right continuous functions ξ:(0,∞)→X; here X is some metric space. Two mappings are defined: the first is the projection q(?,ξ)=ξ, and the second is the change of time U(?,ξ)=ξº?. The following equivalence relation is defined on D: $$\xi _1 \sim \xi _2 \Leftrightarrow \exists _{\varphi _1 , \varphi _1 } \in \Phi :\xi _1 ^\circ \varphi _1 = \xi _2 ^\circ \varphi _2 $$ . Let? be the set of all equivalence classes, and let L be the mapping ξ₄～ξ₂, Lξ is called the curve corresponding to ξ. The following theorem is proved: two stochastic processes with probability measures P¹ and P² on D possess identical random curves (i.e.,P¹ºL^?1=P²ºL^?1) if and only if there exist two changes of time (i.e., probability measures Q¹ and Q² on ?×D for which P¹=Q¹ºq^?1, P²=Q²ºq^?1 which take these two processes into a process with measure \(\tilde P\) (i.e., Q¹ºu^?1=Q²ºu^?1,=～P) If (P _x ¹ )_x∈X and (P _x ² )_x∈X are two families of probability measures for which P _x ¹ ºL^?1=P _x ² ºL^?1?x∈X then for each x ε X the corresponding measures Q _X ¹ andQ _X ² can be found in the following manner. The set of regenerative times of the family \(\left( {\tilde P_x } \right)_{x \in X} \) contains all stopping times which are simultaneously regenerative times of the families (p _x ¹ )_x∈X and (P _x ² )_x∈X and possess a certain special property of first intersection.     

Rational approximations of convex functions

In this paper we prove the following theorem: Ify ₀,y ₁,…,y _n ?1 andy ₁ ^′ ,…,y _n ^′ are two systems of arbitrary real numbers, then there exists a unique polynomialP(x) of degree 2n?1 satisfying the conditions $$\begin{gathered} P\left( {x_k^* } \right) = y_k (k = 0,...,n - 1) \hfill \\ P'\left( {x_k } \right) = y_k^\prime (k = 1,...,n). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ .     

The completeness of systems of functions of the Mittag-Leffler type for weighted uniform approximation in a complex domain

For a givenρ(1/2 <ρ < + ∞) let us set L _ρ = {z: |arg z| = π/(2ρ)} and assume that a real valued measurable function ?(t) such that ?(t) ≥ 1(t ∈ L _ρ ) and \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{|t| \to + \infty } \varphi (t) = + \infty (t \in L_\rho )\) is defined on L _ρ . Let C _? (L _ρ ) denote the space of continuous functionsf(t) on L _ρ such that \(\lim \tfrac{{f(t)}}{{\varphi (t)}} = 0\) , where the norm of an elementf is defined as: \(\parallel f\parallel = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{t \in L_\rho } \tfrac{{|f(t)|}}{{\varphi (t)}}\) . In this note we pose the question about the completeness of the system of functions of the Mittag-Leffler type {Eρ(ut; μ)} (μ ≥ 1, 0 ≤ u ≤a) or, what is the same thing, of the system of functions \(p(t) = \int_0^a {E_\rho (ut;\mu )d\sigma (u)} \) in C _? (L _ρ ). The following theorem is proved: The system of functions of the Mittag-Leffler type is complete in C _? (L _ρ ) if and only if sup |p(z)| ≡ +∞, z ∈ L _ρ , where the supremum is taken over the set of functions p(t) such that ∥p(t) (t + 1)^?1 ∥ ≤ 1.     

On the chromatic numbers of spheres in ℝ n

Let χ(S _r ^n?1 )) be the minimum number of colours needed to colour the points of a sphere S _r ^n?1 of radius $r \geqslant \tfrac{1} {2}$ in ? ⁿ so that any two points at the distance 1 apart receive different colours. In 1981 P. Erd?s conjectured that χ(S _r ^n?1 )→∞ for all $r \geqslant \tfrac{1} {2}$ . This conjecture was proved in 1983 by L. Lovász who showed in [11] that χ(S _r ^n?1 ) ≥ n. In the same paper, Lovász claimed that if $r < \sqrt {\frac{n} {{2n + 2}}}$ , then χ(S _r ^n?1 ) ≤ n+1, and he conjectured that χ(S _r ^n?1 ) grows exponentially, provided $r \geqslant \sqrt {\frac{n} {{2n + 2}}}$ . In this paper, we show that Lovász’ claim is wrong and his conjecture is true: actually we prove that the quantity χ(S _r ^n?1 ) grows exponentially for any $r > \tfrac{1} {2}$ .     

Traces of Permuting n-Additive Maps and Permuting n-Derivations of Rings

Let R be a prime ring with center Z(R). For a fixed positive integer n, a permuting n-additive map ${\Delta : R^n \to R}$ is known to be permuting n-derivation if ${\Delta(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_i x'_{i},\ldots, x_n) = \Delta(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_i, \ldots, x_n)x'_i + x_i \Delta(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x'_i, \ldots, x_n)}$ holds for all ${x_i, x'_i \in R}$ . A mapping ${\delta : R \to R}$ defined by δ(x) = Δ(x, x, . . . ,x) for all ${x \in R}$ is said to be the trace of Δ. In the present paper, we have proved that a ring R is commutative if there exists a permuting n-additive map ${\Delta : R^n \to R}$ such that ${xy + \delta(xy) = yx + \delta(yx), xy- \delta(xy) = yx - \delta(yx), xy - yx = \delta(x) \pm \delta(y)}$ and ${xy + yx = \delta(x) \pm \delta(y)}$ holds for all ${x, y \in R}$ . Further, we have proved that if R is a prime ring with suitable torsion restriction then R is commutative if there exist non-zero permuting n-derivations Δ₁ and Δ₂ from ${R^n \to R}$ such that Δ₁(δ ₂(x), x, . . . ,x) =  0 for all ${x \in R,}$ where δ ₂ is the trace of Δ₂. Finally, it is shown that in a prime ring R of suitable torsion restriction, if ${\Delta_1, \Delta_2 : R^n \longrightarrow R}$ are non-zero permuting n-derivations with traces δ ₁, δ ₂, respectively, and ${B : R^n \longrightarrow R}$ is a permuting n-additive map with trace f such that δ ₁ δ ₂(x) =  f(x) holds for all ${x \in R}$ , then R is commutative.     

Remark on an infinite semipositone problem with indefinite weight and falling zeros

In this work, we consider the positive solutions to the singular problem $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = am(x)u-f(u) - \dfrac{c}{u^{\alpha}} & {\rm in}\;\Omega,\\ u=0 & {\rm on}\; \partial\Omega, \end{array} \right. $$ where 0?<?α?<?1,a?>?0 and c?>?0 are constants, Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$ , Δ is a Laplacian operator, and $f:[0,\infty] \longrightarrow{\mathbb R}$ is a continuous function. The weight functions m(x) satisfies m(x)?∈?C(Ω) and m(x)?>?m ₀?>?0 for x?∈?Ω and also ||m||_?∞??=?l?<?∞. We assume that there exist A?>?0, M?>?0, p?>?1 such that alu???M?≤?f(u)?≤?Au ^p for all u?∈?[0,?∞?). We prove the existence of a positive solution via the method of sub-supersolutions when $m_{0}a>\frac{2\lambda_{1} }{1+\alpha}$ and c is small. Here λ ₁ is the first eigenvalue of operator ??Δ with Dirichlet boundary conditions.     

Approximation of functions of several variables by spherical Riesz means

For even N ≥ 2 and δ 2N-3 (for N-2 or 4 we assume that δ > (N-1)/2) we find asymptotic approximations for the quantity $$E_R^\delta (H_{\rm N}^\omega ) = \mathop {sup}\limits_{f \in H_{\rm N}^\omega } \parallel f(x) - S_R^\omega (x,f)\parallel _ \in (R \to \infty ),$$ , where S _R ^δ (x,f) is the spherical Riesz mean of order δ of the Fourier kernel of the functionf(x), and H _N ^ω is the class of periodic functions of N variables whose moduli of continuity do not exceed a given convex modulus of continuity ω(δ). For N 2 and δ > 1/2 the result is known.     

О приближении функци й средними Чезаро вто рого

Let σ _n ² (f, x) be the Cesàro means of second order of the Fourier expansion of the function f. Upper bounds of the deviationf(x)-σ _n ² (f, x) are studied in the metricC, while f runs over the class \(\bar W^1 C\) , i. e., of the deviation $$F_n^2 (\bar W^1 ,C) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{f \in \bar W^1 C} \left\| {f(x) - \sigma _n^2 (f,x)} \right\|_c$$ . It is proved that the function $$g^* (x) = \frac{4}{\pi }\mathop \sum \limits_{v = 0}^\infty ( - 1)^v \frac{{\cos (2v + 1)x}}{{(2v + 1)^2 }}$$ , for whichg ^*′(x)=sign cosx, satisfies the following asymptotic relation: $$F_n^2 (\bar W^1 ,C) = g^* (0) - \sigma _n^2 (g^* ,0) + O\left( {\frac{1}{{n^4 }}} \right)$$ , i.e.g ^* is close to the extremal function. This makes it possible to find some of the first terms in the asymptotic formula for \(F_n^2 (\bar W^1 ,C)\) asn → ∞. The corresponding problem for approximation in the metricL is also considered.     

Local properties of functions and approximation by trigonometric polynomials

Suppose Φ_{p, E} (p>0 an integer, E ?[0, 2π]) is a family of positive nondecreasing functions? _x(t) (t>0, x∈ E) such that? _x(nt)≤n^P ? _x(t) (n=0,1,...), t_n is a trigonometric polynomial of order at most n, and Δ _h ^l (f, x) (l>0 an integer) is the finite difference of orderl with step h of the functionf.THEOREM. Supposef (x) is a function which is measurable, finite almost everywhere on [0, 2π], and integrable in some neighborhood of each point xε E,? _X εΦ_p,E and $$\overline {\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\delta \to \infty } } |(2\delta )^{ - 1} \smallint _{ - \delta }^\delta \Delta _u^l (f,x)du|\varphi _x^{ - 1} (\delta ) \leqslant C(x)< \infty (x \in E).$$ . Then there exists a sequence {t _n } _n=1 ^∞ which converges tof (x) almost everywhere, such that for x ε E $$\overline {\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } } |f(x) - l_n (x)|\varphi _x^{ - 1} (l/n) \leqslant AC(x),$$ where A depends on p andl.

Let uu _ε be a minimizer for E_ε onH _g ¹ . We prove that u_ε → u₀ in \(C^{1,\alpha } (\bar \Omega )\) as ε → 0, where u₀ is identified. Moreover \(\left\| {u_\varepsilon - u_0 } \right\|_{L^\infty } \leqslant C\varepsilon ^2 \) .     

High Frequency Resolvent Estimates for Perturbations by Large Long-range Magnetic Potentials and Applications to Dispersive Estimates

We prove optimal high-frequency resolvent estimates for self-adjoint operators of the form ${G=\left(i\nabla+b(x)\right)^2+V(x)}$ on ${L^2({\bf R}^n), n\ge 3}$ , where the magnetic potential b(x) and the electric potential V(x) are long-range and large. As an application, we prove dispersive estimates for the wave group ${{\rm e}^{it\sqrt{G}}}$ in the case n = 3 for potentials b(x), V(x) = O(|x|^?2-δ ) for ${|x|\gg 1}$ , where δ > 0.
