Almost conservation law and global rough solutions to a nonlinear Davey-Stewartson equation

We prove an “almost conservation law” to obtain global-in-time well-posedness for the nonlinear Davey-Stewartson equation in Hs(R²), and .     

The surprising almost everywhere convergence of Fourier-Neumann series

For most orthogonal systems and their corresponding Fourier series, the study of the almost everywhere convergence for functions in L^p requires very complicated research, harder than in the case of the mean convergence. For instance, for trigonometric series, the almost everywhere convergence for functions in L² is the celebrated Carleson theorem, proved in 1966 (and extended to L^p by Hunt in 1967).In this paper, we take the system

     

La formule de Plancherel pour les groupes de Lie presque algébriques réels

We give a proof of the Plancherel formula for real almost algebraic groups in the philosophy of the orbit method, following the lines of the one given by M. Duflo and M. Vergne for simply connected semisimple Lie groups. Main ingredients are: (1) Harish-Chandra's descent method which, interpreting Plancherel formula as an equality of semi-invariant generalized functions, allows one to reduce it to a neighbourhood of zero in the Lie algebra of the centralizer of any elliptic element; (2) character formula for representations constructed by M. Duflo, we recently proved; (3) Poisson-Plancherel formula near elliptic elements s in good position, a generalization of the classical Poisson summation formula expressing the Fourier transform of the sum of a series of Harish-Chandra type elliptic orbital integrals in the Lie algebra centralizing s as a generalized function supported on a set of admissible regular forms in the dual of this Lie algebra.     

Almost periodic pseudodifferential operators and Gevrey classes

We study almost periodic pseudodifferential operators acting on almost periodic functions ${G_{\rm ap}^s(\mathbb {R}^d)}$ of Gevrey regularity index s ≥ 1. We prove that almost periodic operators with symbols of H?rmander type ${S_{\rho,\delta}^m}$ satisfying an s-Gevrey condition are continuous on ${G_{\rm ap}^s(\mathbb {R}^d)}$ provided 0 < ρ ≤ 1, δ?=?0 and s ρ ≥ 1. A calculus is developed for symbols and operators using a notion of regularizing operator adapted to almost periodic Gevrey functions and its duality. We apply the results to show a regularity result in this context for a class of hypoelliptic operators.     

A class of multiwavelets and projected frames from two-direction wavelets

This article aims at studying two-direction refinable functions and two-direction wavelets in the setting ?^s, s > 1. We give a sufficient condition for a two-direction refinable function belonging to L²(?^s). Then, two theorems are given for constructing biorthogonal (orthogonal) two-direction refinable functions in L²(?^s) and their biorthogonal (orthogonal) two-direction wavelets, respectively. From the constructed biorthogonal (orthogonal) two-direction wavelets, symmetric biorthogonal (orthogonal) multiwaveles in L²(?^s can be obtained easily. Applying the projection method to biorthogonal (orthogonal) two-direction wavelets in L²(?^s, we can get dual (tight) two-direction wavelet frames in L²(?^m, where. m ≥ s From the projected dual (tight) two-direction wavelet frames in L²(?^m, symmetric dual (tight) frames in L²(?^m can be obtained easily. In the end, an example is given to illustrate theoretical results.     

Equivalences among plateaued APN functions

Some general results are obtained about pairs of CCZ-equivalent plateaued APN functions, exploiting character theory of finite groups. It is proven that if a plateaued power APN function f over \({\mathbb {F}}_{2^{2m}}\) is CCZ-equivalent to a plateaued function g, then f and g are EA-equivalent.     

Global attractivity and positive almost periodic solution of a single species population model

3/2-criterion is built, which guarantees the global attractivity of positive solution for equation having the form x^′(t)=a(t)x(t)(1−L(t,xt)), where a(t)?0 and the linear functional L(t,⋅) is positive. Moreover, when the equation is almost periodic, the similar conditions can also guarantee the existence and uniqueness of almost periodic solution that is globally attractive. Our results improve those in literature.     

Pseudo-Almost Integral Elements

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K. We define an element α ∈ K to be pseudo-almost integral over D if there is an infinite increasing sequence {s _i } of natural numbers and a nonzero c ∈ D with cα ^{s _i}  ∈ D. We investigate when a pseudo-almost integral element is almost integral or integral. We also determine the sequences {s _i } with the property that for any domain D and α ∈ K, whenever cα ^{s _i}  ∈ D for some nonzero c ∈ D, than α is actually almost integral over D.     

A General Theory of Almost Splitting Sets

Let * be a star-operation of finite type on an integral domain D. In this paper, we generalize and study the concept of almost splitting sets. We define a saturated multiplicative subset S of D to be an almost g*-splitting set of D if for each 0 ≠ d ∈ D, there exists an integer n = n(d) ≥1 such that d ⁿ  = st for some s ∈ S and t ∈ D with (t, s′)_* = D for all s′ ∈ S. Among other things, we prove that every saturated multiplicative subset of D is an almost g*-splitting set if and only if D is an almost weakly factorial domain (AWFD) with *-dim (D) = 1. We also give an example of an almost g*-splitting set which is not a g*-splitting set.     

Convergence of finite dimensional distributions of heat kernel measures on loop groups

In this paper we consider heat kernel measure on loop groups associated to the H^1/2-metric. Unlike H^s-case (s>1/2), there is a difficulty that H^1/2 is not contained in the space of continuous loops. So we take limits. There are two limiting methods. One is to use delta functions and to let s go down to 1/2. The other is to fix s at 1/2 and to approximate the delta functions. For the second approach, a generalization of heat kernel measures is needed. Then, the first approach can be obtained as a special case of the second one. The limit in the sense of finite dimensional distribution is the fictitious infinite dimensional Haar measure.     

Constructive almost periodic factorization of some triangular matrix functions

A factorability criterion is obtained constructively, and the respective factorization obtained explicitly, for 2×2 triangular almost periodic matrix functions of the form . Here f=c−1e−α−c₀+c₁eβ, eμ(x):=eiμx, cj are non-zero constants and 0<α,β, α+β<λ?α+β+max{α,β} with α/β being irrational. Note that the factorization problem, even for triangular matrix functions as above with an arbitrary trinomial f, is open. The result obtained is yet another step towards its solution.     

Enumerations of vertex orders of almost Moore digraphs with selfrepeats

An almost Moore digraph G of degree d>1, diameter k>1 is a diregular digraph with the number of vertices one less than the Moore bound. If G is an almost Moore digraph, then for each vertex u∈V(G) there exists a vertex v∈V(G), called repeat of u and denoted by r(u)=v, such that there are two walks of length ?k from u to v. The smallest positive integer p such that the composition r^p(u)=u is called the order of u. If the order of u is 1 then u is called a selfrepeat. It is known that if G is an almost Moore digraph of diameter k?3 then G contains exactly k selfrepeats or none. In this paper, we propose an exact formula for the number of all vertex orders in an almost Moore digraph G containing selfrepeats, based on the vertex orders of the out-neighbours of any selfrepeat vertex.     

Global well-posedness for the generalized 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation

The local well-posedness for the generalized two-dimensional (2D) Ginzburg-Landau equation is obtained for initial data in Hs(R²)(s>1/2). The global result is also obtained in Hs(R²)(s>1/2) under some conditions. The results on local and global well-posedness are sharp except the endpoint s=1/2. We mainly use the Tao's [k;Z]-multiplier method to obtain the trilinear and multilinear estimates.     

Periodic decomposition of measurable integer valued functions

We study those functions that can be written as a sum of (almost everywhere) integer valued periodic measurable functions with given periods. We show that being (almost everywhere) integer valued measurable function and having a real valued periodic decomposition with the given periods is not enough. We characterize those periods for which this condition is enough. We also get that the class of bounded measurable (almost everywhere) integer valued functions does not have the so-called decomposition property. We characterize those periods a₁,…,ak for which an almost everywhere integer valued bounded measurable function f has an almost everywhere integer valued bounded measurable (a₁,…,ak)-periodic decomposition if and only if Δa₁?Δakf=0, where Δaf(x)=f(x+a)−f(x).     

The inverse M-matrix problem

One aspect of the inverse M-matrix problem can be posed as follows. Given a positive n × n matrix A=(a_ij) which has been scaled to have unit diagonal elements and off-diagonal elements which satisfy 0 < y ? a_ij ? x < 1, what additional element conditions will guarantee that the inverse of A exists and is an M-matrix? That is, if A^?1=B=(b_ij), then b_ii> 0 and b_ij ? 0 for i≠_j. If n=2 or x=y no further conditions are needed, but if n ? 3 and y < x, then the following is a tight sufficient condition. Define an interpolation parameter s via x²=sy+(1?s)y²; then B is an M-matrix if s^?1 ? n?2. Moreover, if all off-diagonal elements of A have the value y except for a_ij=a_jj=x when i=n?1, n and 1 ? _j ? n?2, then the condition on both necessary and sufficient for B to be an M-matrix.     

On a question of A. Schinzel: Omega estimates for a special type of arithmetic functions

The paper deals with lower bounds for the remainder term in asymptotics for a certain class of arithmetic functions. Typically, these are generated by a Dirichlet series of the form ζ ²(s)ζ(2s?1)ζ ^M (2s)H(s), where M is an arbitrary integer and H(s) has an Euler product which converges absolutely for R _s > σ₀, with some fixed σ₀ < 1/2.     

New semifields, PN and APN functions

We describe a method of proving that certain functions ${f:F\longrightarrow F}$ defined on a finite field F are either PN-functions (in odd characteristic) or APN-functions (in characteristic 2). This method is illustrated by giving short proofs of the APN-respectively the PN-property for various families of functions. The main new contribution is the construction of a family of PN-functions and their corresponding commutative semifields of dimension 4s in arbitrary odd characteristic. It is shown that a subfamily of order p ^4s for odd s > 1 is not isotopic to previously known examples.     

Associative Cones and Integrable Systems

Abstract We identify ℝ⁷ as the pure imaginary part of octonions. Then the multiplication in octonions gives a natural almost complex structure for the unit sphere S⁶. It is known that a cone over a surface M in S⁶ is an associative submanifold of ℝ⁷ if and only if M is almost complex in S⁶. In this paper, we show that the Gauss-Codazzi equation for almost complex curves in S⁶ are the equation for primitive maps associated to the 6-symmetric space G₂=T², and use this to explain some of the known results. Moreover, the equation for S¹-symmetric almost complex curves in S⁶ is the periodic Toda lattice, and a discussion of periodic solutions is given.

Generalized vector valued almost periodic and ergodic distributions

Schwartz's almost periodic distributions are generalized to the case of Banach space valued distributions , and furthermore for a given arbitrary class A to for φ∈ test functions D(R,C)}. It is shown that this extension process is iteration complete, i.e. . Moreover the T from are characterized in various ways, also tempered distributions with P={X-valued functions of polynomial growth} are shown. Under suitable assumptions , , where for all h>0}, is defined with the corresponding extension of Mh. With an extension of the indefinite integral from to D^′(R,X) a distribution analogue to the Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem on the almost periodicity of bounded indefinite integrals of almost periodic functions is obtained, also for almost automorphic, Levitan almost periodic and recurrent functions, similar for a result of Levitan concerning ergodic indefinite integrals. For many of the above results a new (Δ)-condition is needed, we show that it holds for most of the A needed in applications. Also an application to the study of asymptotic behavior of distribution solutions of neutral integro-differential-difference systems is given.     

Global analysis of smooth solutions to a hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system

We investigate a model arising from biology, which is a hyperbolic- parabolic coupled system. First, we prove the global existence and asymptotic behavior of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem without any smallness assumption on the initial data. Second, if the Hs ∩ Ll-norm of initial data is sufficiently small, we also establish decay rates of the global smooth solutions. In particular, the optimal L2 decay rate of the solution and the almost optimal L2 decay rate of the first-order derivatives of the solution are obtained. These results are obtained by constructing a new nonnegative convex entropy and combining spectral analysis with energy methods.
