Reflection about k-jets and holomorphic extension of CR mappings

Let be a CR mapping between real analytic generic submanifolds M, M₁ of and , respectively. According to Webster's theory (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 86 (1982) 236-240) and its further developments, f has holomorphic extension to a full neighborhood of M in when the following requirements are fulfilled: f extends to a wedge W continuous up to M; f is of class C^k; (where denotes the complex tangent bundle); M₁ is “k-nondegenerate.” We deal here with the case where is strictly smaller than but is still real analytic in suitable sense. We show that a suitably refined condition of k-nondegeneracy still entails holomorphic extension of f.     

A note on maximality of analytic crossed products

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .     

On the asymptotic stability of equilibrium

The classical criterion of asymptotic stability of the zero solution of equations x^′=f(t,x) is that there exists a positive definite function V which has infinitesimal upper bound such that is negative definite. In this paper we prove that if is bounded then the condition that is negative definite can be weakened and replaced by that and is negative definite.     

Wavelet frames with irregular matrix dilations and their stability

Let , B and A_j () be real nonsingular n×n matrices, λ_k () be real numbers. In this paper we present a sufficient condition for the system to be a frame for . This sufficient condition also shows the stability of the system with respect to the perturbation of matrix dilation parameters and the perturbation of translation parameters .     

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

On powers of the Heaviside function for negative integers

The distributions and were defined as the neutrix limit of the sequences and respectively for , see [J.D. Nicholos, B. Fisher, The distribution composition , J. Math. Anal. Appl. 258 (2001) 131-145; B. Fisher, On defining the distribution , Univ. u Novom Sadu Zb. Rad. Prirod. Mat. Fak. Ser. Mat. 15 (1985) 119-129]. We here consider these distributions when r=0. In other words, we define the sth powers of the Heaviside function H(x) in the distributional sense for negative integers. Further compositions are also considered.     

On the Lévy-Raikov-Marcinkiewicz theorem

Let μ be a finite non-negative Borel measure. The classical Lévy-Raikov-Marcinkiewicz theorem states that if its Fourier transform can be analytically continued to some complex half-neighborhood of the origin containing an interval (0,iR) then admits analytic continuation into the strip . We extend this result to general classes of measures and distributions, assuming non-negativity only on some ray and allowing temperate growth on the whole line.     

The symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials with real parameter

The Symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials for λ>0 are well-studied polynomials. These are polynomials orthogonal on the real line with respect to a continuous, positive real measure. For λ?0, are also polynomials, however they are not orthogonal on the real line with respect to any real measure. This paper defines a non-standard inner product with respect to which the polynomials for λ?0, become orthogonal polynomials. It examines the major properties of the polynomials, for λ>0 which are also shared by the polynomials, for λ?0.     

Reflexivity and hyperreflexivity of operator spaces

In this paper, we show that if is an n-dimensional subspace of L(V) such that every nonzero transformation of has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is algebraically reflexive. If is an n-dimensional subspace of B(H) such that every nonzero transformation of  has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is hyperreflexive. We also consider how to construct some new hyperreflexive subspaces.     

Removable singularities for a Sobolev space

Let Ω⊂RN be an open set and F a relatively closed subset of Ω. We show that if the (N−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of F is finite, then the spaces and coincide, that is, F is a removable singularity for . Here is the closure of in H¹(Ω) and H¹(Ω) denotes the first order Sobolev space. We also give a relative capacity criterium for this removability. The space is important for defining realizations of the Laplacian with Neumann and with Robin boundary conditions. For example, if the boundary of Ω has finite (N−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, then our results show that we may replace Ω by the better set (which is regular in topology), i.e., Neumann boundary conditions (respectively Robin boundary conditions) on Ω and on coincide.     

On harmonic typically real mappings

In this paper, we prove that a univalent orientation-preserving harmonic mapping defined on the unit disk U with the normalization f(0)=0, , is a typically real mapping, if f(U) is a starlike domain with respect to the origin or f(U) is convex in one direction.
