Toeplitz operators related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators

In this paper, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and Lipschitz function b ε (ℝⁿ) is discussed from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), , and from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to Triebel-Lizorkin space . We also obtain the boundedness of generalized Toeplitz operator Θ _α0 ^b from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), . All the above results include the corresponding boundedness of commutators. Moreover, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and BMO function b is discussed on L ^p(ℝⁿ), 1 < p < ∞.     

The Factor Decomposition Theorem of Bounded Generalized Inverse Modules and Their Topological Continuity

In this paper we obtain a Douglas type factor decomposition theorem about certain important bounded module maps. Thus, we come to the discussion of the topological continuity of bounded generalized inverse module maps. Let X be a topological space, x →Tx ： X→L（E） be a continuous map, and each R（Tx） be a closed submodule in E, for every fixed x C X. Then the map x→ Tx^＋： X→L（E） is continuous if and only if ｜｜Tx^＋｜｜ is locally bounded, where Tx^＋ is the bounded generalized inverse module map of Tx. Furthermore, this is equivalent to the following statement： For each x0 in X, there exists a neighborhood ∪0 at x0 and a positive number λ such that （0, λ^2）lohtatn in ∩x∈∪0C／σ（Tx^＋Tx）, where a（T） denotes the spectrum of operator T.

Two results on maximum nonlinear functions

Maximum nonlinear functions are widely used in cryptography because the coordinate functions F _β (x) := tr(β F(x)), , have large distance to linear functions. Moreover, maximum nonlinear functions have good differential properties, i.e. the equations F(x + a) − F(x) = b, , have 0 or 2 solutions. Two classes of maximum nonlinear functions are the Gold power functions , gcd(k, m) = 1, and the Kasami power functions , gcd(k, m) = 1. The main results in this paper are: (1) We characterize the Gold power functions in terms of the distance of their coordinate functions to characteristic functions of subspaces of codimension 2 in . (2) We determine the differential properties of the Kasami power functions if gcd(k,m) ≠ 1.      

A strong law of large numbers for nonexpansive vector-valued stochastic processes

A mapT: X→X on a normed linear space is callednonexpansive if ‖Tx-Ty‖≤‖x-y‖∀x, y∈X. Let (Ω, Σ,P) be a probability space, an increasing chain of σ-fields spanning Σ,X a Banach space, andT: X→X. A sequence (x_n) of strongly -measurable and stronglyP-integrable functions on Ω taking on values inX is called aT-martingale if . LetT: H→H be a nonexpansive mapping on a Hilbert spaceH and let (x_n) be aT-martingale taking on values inH. If then x _n /n converges a.e. LetT: X→X be a nonexpansive mapping on ap-uniformly smooth Banach spaceX, 1<p≤2, and let (x_n) be aT-martingale (taking on values inX). If then there exists a continuous linear functionalf∈X ^* of norm 1 such that If, in addition, the spaceX is strictly convex, x _n /n converges weakly; and if the norm ofX ^* is Fréchet differentiable (away from zero), x _n /n converges strongly.

Let (B _t ) _{t≥ 0} be standard Brownian motion starting at y and set X _t = for , with V(y) = y ^γ if y≥ 0, V(y) = −K(−y)^γ if y≤ 0, where γ and K are some given positive constants. Set . In this paper, we provide some formulas for the probability distribution of the random variable as well as for the probability (or b)}. The formulas corresponding to the particular cases x = a or b are explicitly expressed by means of hypergeometric functions.

The asymptotic expansions are studied for the vorticity to 2D incompressible Euler equations with-initial vorticity , where ϕ₀(x) satisfies |d ϕ₀(x)|≠0 on the support of and is sufficiently smooth and with compact support in ℝ² (resp.

On the zeros of a class of generalised Dirichlet series-XIV

We prove a general theorem on the zeros of a class of generalised Dirichlet series. We quote the following results as samples. Theorem A.Let 0<θ<1/2and let {a _n }be a sequence of complex numbers satisfying the inequality for N = 1,2,3,…,also for n = 1,2,3,…let α _n be real and |α_n| ≤ C(θ)where C(θ) > 0is a certain (small)constant depending only on θ. Then the number of zeros of the function in the rectangle (1/2-δ⩽σ⩽1/2+δ,T⩽t⩽2T) (where 0<δ<1/2)is ≥C(θ,δ)T logT where C(θ,δ)is a positive constant independent of T provided T ≥T ₀(θ,δ)a large positive constant. Theorem B.In the above theorem we can relax the condition on a _n to and |a_N| ≤ (1/2-θ)^-1.Then the lower bound for the number of zeros in (σ⩾1/3−δ,T⩽t⩽2T)is > C(θ,δ) Tlog T(log logT)^-1.The upper bound for the number of zeros in σ⩾1/3+δ,T⩽t⩽2T) isO(T)provided for every ε > 0.

Upper Triangular Operator Matrices, SVEP and Browder, Weyl Theorems

A Banach space operator T ∈ B(χ) is polaroid if points λ ∈ iso σ(T) are poles of the resolvent of T. Let denote, respectively, the approximate point, the Weyl, the Weyl essential approximate, the upper semi–Fredholm and lower semi–Fredholm spectrum of T. For A, B and C ∈ B(χ), let M _C denote the operator matrix . If A is polaroid on , M ₀ satisfies Weyl’s theorem, and A and B satisfy either of the hypotheses (i) A has SVEP at points and B has SVEP at points , or, (ii) both A and A* have SVEP at points , or, (iii) A^* has SVEP at points and B ^* has SVEP at points , then . Here the hypothesis that λ ∈ π₀(M _C ) are poles of the resolvent of A can not be replaced by the hypothesis are poles of the resolvent of A. For an operator , let . We prove that if A* and B* have SVEP, A is polaroid on π ^a ₀(M _C) and B is polaroid on π ^a ₀(B), then .      

On the existence and stability of periodic orbits in non ideal problems: General results

In this work, motivated by non-ideal mechanical systems, we investigate the following O.D.E. , where , are T periodic functions of t and there is a ₀ ∈ Ω such that f ( a ₀) = 0 and f ′( a ₀) is a nilpotent matrix. When n = 3 and f (x) = (0, q (x ₃) , 0) we get results on existence and stability of periodic orbits. We apply these results in a non ideal mechanical system: the Centrifugal Vibrator. We make a stability analysis of this dynamical system and get a characterization of the Sommerfeld Effect as a bifurcation of periodic orbits.

INJECTIVE MAPS ON PRIMITIVE SEQUENCES OVER Z/（p^e）

Let Z/(pe) be the integer residue ring modulo pe with p an odd prime and integer e ≥ 3. For a sequence (a) over Z/(pe), there is a unique p-adic decomposition (a) = (a)0 (a)1·p … (a)e-1 ·pe-1, where each (a)i can be regarded as a sequence over Z/(p), 0 ≤ i ≤ e - 1. Let f(x) be a primitive polynomial over Z/(pe) and G' (f(x), pe) the set of all primitive sequences generated by f(x) over Z/(pe). For μ(x) ∈ Z/(p)[x] with deg(μ(x)) ≥ 2 and gcd(1 deg(μ(x)),p- 1) = 1,set ψe-1 (x0, x1,…, xe-1) = xe-1·[ μ(xe-2) ηe-3 (x0, x1,…, xe-3)] ηe-2 (x0, x1,…, xe-2),which is a function of e variables over Z/(p). Then the compressing map ψe-1: G'(f(x),pe) → (Z/(p))∞,(a) (→)ψe-1((a)0, (a)1,… ,(a)e-1) is injective. That is, for (a), (b) ∈ G' (f(x), pe), (a) = (b) if and only if ψe - 1 ((a)0, (a)1,… , (a)e - 1) =ψe - 1 ((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1). As for the case of e = 2, similar result is also given. Furthermore, if functions ψe-1 and ψe-1 over Z/(p) are both of the above form and satisfy ψe-1((a)0,(a)1,… ,(a)e-1) = ψe-1((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1) for (a),(b) ∈ G'(f(x),pe), the relations between (a) and (b), ψe-1 and ψe-1 are discussed.

Moreover, if the order of f(z) is finite, then we also have , where δ(a, f^(k)) denotes the deficiency of the valuea with respect to f^(k) and θ(∞,f) is the ramification index of ∞ with respect tof.     

Some mappings of pfriodic groups

For the rational integera and the rational primeb, letP(a,b) be the set of primesp such that . A natural integerq satisfies (i) iffq is a power product fromP(a,b).

The casea=−2,b=2 has combinational applications.

An example of the Cauchy problem well posed in any Gevrey class

We study the Cauchy problem for second order hyperbolic operators in the Gevrey classes where H(t,x) is given by the limit of a finite sum of functions such as a(t)b(x) with a(t) ≥ 0, b(x) ≥ 0. As a result, for any given positive integer N, we give an example H(t,x) which depends not only on t but also on x such that the Cauchy problem for P is well posed in the Gevrey class of order N.
