Strong law of large numbers for supercritical superprocesses under second moment condition

Consider a supercritical superprocess X = {X_t, t≥0} on a locally compact separable metric space (E,m). Suppose that the spatial motion of X is a Hunt process satisfying certain conditions and that the branching mechanism is of the form ψ(x,λ)=-a(x)λ+b(x)λ2+∫(0,+∞)(e-λy-1+λy)n(x,dy),?x∈E,λ>0, where a∈Bb(E),b∈Bb+(E), and n is a kernel from E to (0,+∞) satisfying sup?x∈E∫0+∞y2n(x,dy)<+∞. Put Ttf(x)=Pδx?f,Xt?. Suppose that the semigroup {T_t; t≥0}is compact. Let λ₀ be the eigenvalue of the (possibly non-symmetric) generator L of {T_t}that has the largest real part among all the eigenvalues of L, which is known to be real-valued. Let ?0 and ?^0 be the eigenfunctions of L and L^(the dual of L) associated with λ₀, respectively. Assume λ₀>0. Under some conditions on the spatial motion and the ?0-transform of the semigroup {T_t}, we prove that for a large class of suitable functions f, lim?t→+∞e-λ0t?f,Xt?=W∞∫E?^0(y)f(y)m(dy),?Pμ-a.s., for any finite initial measure μ on E with compact support, where W_∞ is the martingale limit defined by W∞:=lim?t→+∞e-λ0t??0,Xt?. Moreover, the exceptional set in the above limit does not depend on the initial measure μ and the function f.     

Intrinsic contractivity properties of Feynman-Kac semigroups for symmetric jump processes with infinite range jumps

Let (X_t)_t≥0 be a symmetric strong Markov process generated by non-local regular Dirichlet form (D, D(D)) as follows: D(f,g)=∫?d∫?d(f(x)-f(y))(g(x)-g(y))J(x,y)dxdy,?f,g∈D(D), where J(x, y) is a strictly positive and symmetric measurable function on ?d×?d. We study the intrinsic hypercontractivity, intrinsic supercontractivity, and intrinsic ultracontractivity for the Feynman-Kac semigroup TtV(f)(x)=Ex(exp?(-∫0tV(Xs)ds)f(Xt)),?x∈?d,f∈L2(?d;dx). In particular, we prove that for J(x,y)≈|x-y|-d-al{|x-y|≤1}+e-|x-y|l{|x-y|>1} with α ∈(0, 2) and V(x)=|x|λ with λ>0, (TtV)t≥0 is intrinsically ultracontractive if and only if λ>1; and that for symmetric α-stable process (X_t)_t≥0 with α ∈(0, 2) and V(x)=log?λ(1+|x|) with some λ>0, (TtV)t≥0 is intrinsically ultracontractive (or intrinsically supercontractive) if and only if λ>1, and (TtV)t≥0 is intrinsically hypercontractive if and only if λ≥1. Besides, we also investigate intrinsic contractivity properties of (TtV)t≥0 for the case that lim inf?|x|→+∞V(x)<+∞     

Maximal function characterizations of Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy spaces associated with magnetic Schr?dinger operators

Let φ be a growth function, and let A:=-(?-ia)?(?-ia)+V be a magnetic Schr?dinger operator on L2(?n),n≥2, where α:=(α1,α2,?,αn)∈Lloc2(?n,?n) and 0≤V∈Lloc1(?n). We establish the equivalent characterizations of the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space HA,φ(?n), defined by the Lusin area function associated with {e-t2A}t>0, in terms of the Lusin area function associated with {e-tA}t>0, the radial maximal functions and the nontangential maximal functions associated with {e-t2A}t>0 and {e-tA}t>0, respectively. The boundedness of the Riesz transforms LkA-1/2,k∈{1,2,?,n}, from HA,φ(?n) to Lφ(?n) is also presented, where L_k is the closure of ??xk-iαk in L2(?n). These results are new even when φ(x,t):=ω(x)tp for all x∈?nand t ∈(0,+∞) with p ∈(0, 1] and ω∈A∞(?n) (the class of Muckenhoupt weights on ?n).     

Transcendence of some multivariate power series

We prove some transcendence results for the sums of some multivariate serms of the form ∑j1,j2,...,jm=0 ^∞Cj1j2...jm（r1^j1r2^j2...rm^jm） for n = 1, 2, where Cj1j2...jm are some rational functions of j1 ＋ j2 ＋ ... ＋ jm.     

Sum of squares methods for minimizing polynomial forms over spheres and hypersurfaces

This paper studies the problem of minimizing a homogeneous polynomial (form) f(x) over the unit sphere Sn-1={x∈?n:‖x‖2=|1}. The problem is NP-hard when f(x) has degree 3 or higher. Denote by f_min (resp. f_max) the minimum (resp. maximum) value of f(x) on Sn-1. First, when f(x) is an even form of degree 2d, we study the standard sum of squares (SOS) relaxation for finding a lower bound of the minimum f_min:max? γ s.t. f(x)-γ·‖x‖22d? is SOS.Let f_sos be the above optimal value. Then we show that for all n≥2d,1≤fmax?-fsosfmax?-fmin?≤C(d)(n2d).Here, the constant C(d) is independent of n. Second, when f(x) is a multi-form and Sn-1 becomes a multi-unit sphere, we generalize the above SOS relaxation and prove a similar bound. Third, when f(x) is sparse, we prove an improved bound depending on its sparsity pattern; when f(x) is odd, we formulate the problem equivalently as minimizing a certain even form, and prove a similar bound. Last, for minimizing f(x) over a hypersurface H(g)={x∈?n:g(x)=1} defined by a positive definite form g(x), we generalize the above SOS relaxation and prove a similar bound.     

Well-posedness of degenerate differential equations in H?lder continuous function spaces

Using known operator-valued Fourier multiplier results on vectorvalued H?lder continuous function spaces, we completely characterize the wellposedness of the degenerate differential equations (Mu)'(t)=Au(t)+f(t) for t∈R in H?lder continuous function spaces Ca(R;X) by the boundedness of the M-resolvent of A, where A and M are closed operators on a Banach space X satisfying D(A)?D(M).     

Branching random walks with random environments in time

We consider a branching random walk on N with a random environment in time （denoted by ξ）. Let Zn be the counting measure of particles of generation n, and let Zn（t） be its Laplace transform. We show the convergence of the free energy n-llog Zn（t）, large deviation principles, and central limit theorems for the sequence of measures {Zn}, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of moments of the limit of the martingale Zn（t）/E[Zn（t）ξ].     

Exponential sums involving Maass forms

We study the exponential sums involving l：burmr coeffcients ot Maass forms and exponential functions of the form e（anZ）, where 0 ≠ α∈R and 0 〈 β 〈 1. An asymptotic formula is proved for the nonlinear exponential sum ∑x〈n≤2x λg（n）e（αnβ）, when β = 1/2 and ｜α｜ is close to 2√ q C Z＋, where Ag（n） is the normalized n-th Fourier coefficient of a Maass cusp form for SL2 （Z）. The similar natures of the divisor function 7（n） and the representation function r（n） in the circle problem in nonlinear exponential sums of the above type are also studied.     

Uniqueness of weak solutions for fractional Navier-Stokes equations

We prove that if u is a weak solution of the d dimensional fractional Navier-Stokes equations for some initial data u₀and if u belongs to path space p=Lq(0,T;Bp,∞r)or p=L1(0,T;B∞,∞r), then u is unique in the class of weak solutions when α>1. The main tools are Bony decomposition and Fourier localization technique. The results generalize and improve many recent known results.     

Fixed points of smoothing transformation in random environment

At each time n\in \mathbb{N},\mathrm{l}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t}{\overline{Y}}^{(n)}(\xi )=(y_1^{(n)}(\xi ),y_2^{(n)}(\xi ),\cdots ) be a random sequence of non-negative numbers that are ultimately zero in a random environment\xi \text{=}（{\xi }_n{）}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}. The existence and uniqueness of the nonnegative fixed points of the associated smoothing transformation in random environment are considered. These fixed points are solutions to the distributional equation for a.e.\xi ,Z(\xi )\stackrel{\text{d}}{=}{\sum }_{i\in \mathbb{N}+}{y}_i^{(\mathrm{0})}(\xi )Z_i^{(\mathrm{1})}(\xi ),where ｛Z_i^{(\mathrm{1})}:i\in {\mathbb{N}}_{+}｝ are random variables in random environment which satisfy that for any environment\xi; under P_{\xi }; ｛Z_i^{(\mathrm{1})}:i\in {\mathbb{N}}_{+}｝are independent of each other and {\bar{Y}}^{(\mathrm{0})}(\xi ), and have the same conditional distribution P_{\xi }(Z_i^{(1)}(\xi )\in \cdot )=P_{T\xi }(Z(T\xi )\in \cdot ) where T is the shift operator. This extends the classical results of J. D. Biggins [J. Appl. Probab., 1977, 14: 25-37] to the random environment case. As an application, the martingale convergence of the branching random walk in random environment is given as well.

We give the explicit formulas of the minimizers of the anisotropic Rudin-Osher-Fatemi models E1φ(u)=∫Ωφo(Du)dx+λ∫Ω|u−f|dx, u∈BV(Ω),E2φ(u)=∫Ωφo(Du)dx+λ∫Ω(u−f)2dx, u∈BV(Ω), where Ω⊂?2 is a domain, φo is an anisotropic norm on ?2, and f is a solution of the anisotropic 1-Laplacian equations.     

Forward and symmetric Wick-Itô integrals with respect to fractional Brownian motion

Let B^H=\{{{\displaystyle B}}_t^H,t\ge \mathrm{0}\} be a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H\in (\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1}). Inspired by pathwise integrals and Wick product, in this paper, we consider the forward and symmetric Wick-Itô integrals with respect to B^H as follows: {\displaystyle {\int }_{\mathrm{0}}^t{{\displaystyle u}}_s}\diamond {\mathrm{d}}^{-}{{\displaystyle B}}_s^H=\underset{\epsilon \downarrow \mathrm{0}}{\lim }{\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\epsilon }}{\displaystyle {\int }_{\mathrm{0}}^t{{\displaystyle u}}_s}\diamond ({{\displaystyle B}}_{s+\epsilon }^H-{{\displaystyle B}}_s^H)\mathrm{d}s,{\displaystyle {\int }_{\mathrm{0}}^t{{\displaystyle u}}_s}\diamond {\mathrm{d}}^{°}{{\displaystyle B}}_s^H=\underset{\epsilon \downarrow \mathrm{0}}{\lim }{\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}\epsilon }}{\displaystyle {\int }_{\mathrm{0}}^t{{\displaystyle u}}_s}\diamond ({{\displaystyle B}}_{s+\epsilon }^H-{{\displaystyle B}}_{(s-\epsilon )\vee \mathrm{0}}^H)\mathrm{d}s,in probability, where ◊ denotes the Wick product. We show that the two integrals coincide with divergence-type integral of B^H for all H\in (\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1}).     

Decompositions of stochastic convolution driven by a white-fractional Gaussian noise

Let u=\{u(t,x);(t,x)\in {ℝ}_{+}\times ℝ\}be the solution to a linear stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian noise, which is a Brownian motion in time and a fractional Brownian motion in space with Hurst parameterH\in (\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1}): For any givenx\in ℝ(\text{resp}\text{.},t\in {ℝ}_{+}), we show a decomposition of the stochastic processt\to u(t,x)(\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{p}.,x\to u(t,x))as the sum of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H/2 (resp., H) and a stochastic process with C^∞-continuous trajectories. Some applications of those decompositions are discussed.

Let c>1 and : We study the solubility of the Diophantine inequality in Piatetski-Shapiro primes p₁,p₂, .., p_s of the form p_j=[m^{\gamma }] for some m\in \mathbb{N}, and improve the previous results in the cases s = 2, 3, 4.     

Regularity for anisotropic solutions to some nonlinear elliptic system

This paper deals with anisotropic solutions u∈W1,(pi)(Ω,?N) to the nonlinear elliptic system −Σi=1nDi(aiα(χ,Du(χ)))=−Σi=1nDiFiα(χ), α=1,2,...,N, We present a monotonicity inequality for the matrix a=(aiα)∈?N×n,whichguarantees global pointwise bounds for anisotropic solutionsu.     

Quadratic forms connected with Fourier coefficients of Maass cusp forms

For the normalized Fourier coefficients of Maass cusp forms λ(n) and the normalized Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms a(n), we give the bound of ∑m12+m22+m32≤xλ(m12+m22+m32)Λ(m12+m22+m32) and ∑m12+m22+m32≤xa(m12+m22+m32)Λ(m12+m22+m32).     

Fekete and Szegö problem for a subclass of quasi-convex mappings in several complex variables

Let K be the familiar class of normalized convex functions in the unit disk. Keogh and Merkes proved the well-known result that max?f∈K|a3−λa22|≤max?{1/3,|λ−1|},λ∈?, and the estimate is sharp for each λ. We investigate the corresponding problem for a subclass of quasi-convex mappings of type B defined on the unit ball in a complex Banach space or on the unit polydisk in ?n. The proofs of these results use some restrictive assumptions, which in the case of one complex variable are automatically satisfied.     

Continuity properties for commutators of multilinear type operators on product of certain Hardy spaces

Similar to the property of a linear Calderdn-Zygmund operator, a linear fractional type operator Is associated with a BMO function b fails to satisfy the continuity from the Hardy space Hp into Lp for p ≤ 1. Thus, an alternative result was given by Y. Ding, S. Lu and P. Zhang, they proved that [b,Iα] is continuous from an atomic Hardy space Hp b into Lp, where Hp b is a subspace of the Hardy space Hp for n/（n ＋ 1） 〈 p ≤ 1. In this paper, we study the commutators of multilinear fractional type operators on product of certain Hardy spaces. The endpoint （Hp1 b1 ×... × HP2, Lp） boundedness for multilinear fractional type operators is obtained. We also give the boundedness for the commutators of multilinear Calderdn-Zygmund operators and multilinear fractional type operators on product of certain Hardy spaces when b ∈ （Lipβ）m（Rn）.     

Dynamical behaviors for generalized pendulum type equations with p-Laplacian

We consider a pendulum type equation with p-Laplacian {({\varphi }_p(x^{\prime }))}^{\prime }+{G_x}^{\prime }(t,x)=p(t), where {{\displaystyle \varphi }}_p(u)={\left|u\right|}^{p-\mathrm{2}}u,p>\mathrm{1},G(t,x) and p(t) are 1-periodic about every variable. The solutions of this equation present two interesting behaviors. On the one hand, by applying Moser's twist theorem, we find infinitely many invariant tori whenever {\displaystyle {\int }_{\mathrm{0}}^{\mathrm{1}}p(t)}\mathrm{d}t=\mathrm{0}, which yields the bounded-ness of all solutions and the existence of quasi-periodic solutions starting at t = 0 on the invariant tori. On the other hand, if p(t) = 0 and {G_x}^{\prime }(t,x) has some specific forms, we find a full symbolic dynamical system made by solutions which oscillate between any two different trivial solutions of the equation. Such chaotic solutions stay close to the trivial solutions in some fixed intervals, according to any prescribed coin-tossing sequence.
