Determinantal Inequalities for Accretive-Dissipative Matrices

A matrix is said to be accretive-dissipative if, in its Hermitian decomposition , both matrices B and C are positive definite. Further, if B= I _n, then A is called a Buckley matrix. The following extension of the classical Fischer inequality for Hermitian positive-definite matrices is proved. Let be an accretive-dissipative matrix, k and l be the orders of A ₁₁ and A ₂₂, respectively, and let m = min{k,l}. Then For Buckley matrices, the stronger bound is obtained.

The number of strictly increasing mappings of fences

Let X and Y be fences of size n and m, respectively and n, m be either both even or both odd integers (i.e., |m-n| is an even integer). Let \(r = \left\lfloor {{{(n - 1)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{(n - 1)} 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} \right\rfloor\) . If 1<n<-m then there are \(a_{n,m} = (m + 1)2^{n - 2} - 2(n - 1)(\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - 2} \\ r \\ \end{array} )\) of strictly increasing mappings of X to Y. If 1<-m<-n<-2m and s=1/2(n?m) then there are a _n,m+b _n,m+c _n of such mappings, where $$\begin{gathered} b_{n,m} = 8\sum\limits_{i = 0}^{s - 2} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {m + 2i + 1} \\ l \\ \end{array} } \right)4^{s - 2 - 1} } \hfill \\ {\text{ }}c_n = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right){\text{ if both }}n,m{\text{ are even;}} \hfill \\ {\text{ 0 if both }}n,m{\text{ are odd}}{\text{.}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

The conductor of a cyclic quartic field using Gauss sums

Let Q denote the field of rational numbers. Let K be a cyclic quartic extension of Q. It is known that there are unique integers A, B, C, D such that where A is squarefree and odd, D=B ²+C ² is squarefree, B $$ " align="middle" border="0"> 0 , C $$ " align="middle" border="0"> 0, GCD(A,D)=1. The conductor f(K) of K is f(K) = 2 ^l |A|D, where A simple proof of this formula for f(K) is given, which uses the basic properties of quartic Gauss sums.     

On Kolmogorov-Type Inequalities Taking into Account the Number of Changes in the Sign of Derivatives

For 2-periodic functions and arbitrary q [1, ] and p (0, ], we obtain the new exact Kolmogorov-type inequality which takes into account the number of changes in the sign of the derivatives (x ^(k)) over the period. Here, = (r – k + 1/q)/(r + 1/p), _r is the Euler perfect spline of degree r, and . The inequality indicated turns into the equality for functions of the form x(t) = a _r (nt + b), a, b R, n N. We also obtain an analog of this inequality in the case where k = 0 and q = and prove new exact Bernstein-type inequalities for trigonometric polynomials and splines.

Estimates for deviations are established for a large class of linear methods of approximation of periodic functions by linear combinations of moduli of continuity of different orders. These estimates are sharp in the sense of constants in the uniform and integral metrics. In particular, the following assertion concerning approximation by splines is proved: Suppose that is odd, . Then
