Canonical forms for boundary conditions of self-adjoint differential operators

Canonical forms of boundary conditions are important in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary conditions and their numerical computations. The known canonical forms for self-adjoint differential operators, with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions, are limited to 4-th order differential operators. We derive canonical forms for self-adjoint $2n$-th order differential operators with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions. We compare the 4-th order canonical forms to the canonical forms derived in this article.     

A remarkable class of second order differential operators on the Heisenberg group ${\mathbb H}_2$

Let L be a differential operator on whose principal part is of the form , where and , are the usual vector fields generating the Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group . We study the problem of local solvability of these doubly characteristic operators. The whole class of operators splits into three subclasses, depending on the sign of a respective determinant. The operators in the first subclass, when the determinant is negative, are generically non-solvable. The operators in the second subclass, when the determinant is positive, are solvable, for arbitrary left-invariant lower order terms, provided that the coefficient matrix is non-degenerate. This fact seems remarkable, since many of these operators have the property that the values taken by their principal symbol are not contained in any proper subcone of the complex plane. Under suitable conditions, solvability even holds in the presence of non-invariant lower order terms. Received: 17 January 2000 / Published online: 4 May 2001     

Non-Archimedean Pseudodifferential Operators and Feller Semigroups

In this article we study a large class of non-Archimedean pseudodifferential operators whose symbols are negative definite functions.We prove that these operators extend to generators of Feller semigroups. In order to study these operators, we introduce a new class of anisotropic Sobolev spaces, which are the natural domains for the operators considered here.We also study the Cauchy problem for certain pseudodifferential equations.     

Conformally Invariant Operators,Differential Forms,Cohomology and a Generalisation of Q-Curvature

On conformal manifolds of even dimension n ≥ 4 we construct a family of new conformally invariant differential complexes, each containing one coboundary operator of order greater than 1. Each bundle in each of these complexes appears either in the de Rham complex or in its dual (which is a different complex in the non-orientable case). Each of the new complexes is elliptic in case the conformal structure has Riemannian signature. We also construct gauge companion operators which (for differential forms of order k ≤ n/2) complete the exterior derivative to a conformally invariant and (in the case of Riemannian signature) elliptically coercive system. These (operator, gauge) pairs are used to define finite dimensional conformally stable form subspaces which are are candidates for spaces of conformal harmonics. This generalizes the n/2-form and 0-form cases, in which the harmonics are given by conformally invariant systems. These constructions are based on a family of operators on closed forms which generalize in a natural way Branson's Q-curvature. We give a universal construction of these new operators and show that they yield new conformally invariant global pairings between differential form bundles. Finally we give a geometric construction of a family of conformally invariant differential operators between density-valued differential form bundles and develop their properties (including their ellipticity type in the case of definite conformal signature). The construction is based on the ambient metric of Fefferman and Graham, and its relationship to the tractor bundles for the Cartan normal conformal connection. For each form order, our derivation yields an operator of every even order in odd dimensions, and even order operators up to order n in even dimension n. In the case of unweighted (or true) forms as domain, these operators are the natural form analogues of the critical order conformal Laplacian of Graham et al., and are key ingredients in the new differential complexes mentioned above.     

Darboux transformation,factorization, and supersymmetry in one-dimensional quantum mechanics

We introduce an N-order Darboux transformation operator as a particular case of general transformation operators. It is shown that this operator can always be represented as a product of N first-order Darboux transformation operators. The relationship between this transformation and the factorization method is investigated. Supercharge operators are introduced. They are differential operators of order N. It is shown that these operators and super-Hamiltonian form a superalgebra of order N. For N=2, we have a quadratic superalgebra analogous to the Sklyanin quadratic algebras. The relationship between the transformation introduced and the inverse scattering problem in quantum mechanics is established. An elementary N-parametric potential that has exactly N predetermined discrete spectrum levels is constructed. The paper concludes with some examples of new exactly soluble potentials.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 104, No. 2, pp. 356–367, August, 1995.     

Self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators

Let ? denote the Hilbert space of analytic functions on the unit disk which are square summable with respect to the usual area measure. In this paper we consider the formal differential exepressons of order two or greater having the form {fx321-1} and {fx321-2} which give rise to symmetric operators in ?. We show that these operators in ? admit self-adjoint extensions in ?.     

r-ASYMPTOTICALLY QUASI-FINITE RANK OPERATORS AND THE SPECTRUM OF MEASURES

Abstract

The r-asymptotically quasi finite rank operators were introduced in [10]. For regular operators on Banach lattices, these operators are the order theoretic analogue of Riesz operators on Banach spaces. We establish their basic properties and apply these in the spectral analysis of convolution operators.     

Quasi-interpolation operators based on a cubic spline and applications in SAMR simulations

In this paper, we consider the properties of monotonicity-preserving and global conservation-preserving for interpolation operators. These two properties play important role when interpolation operators used in many real numerical simulations. In order to attain these two aspects, we propose a one-dimensional (1D) new cubic spline, and extend it to two-dimensional (2D) using tensor-product operation. Based on discrete convolution, 1D and 2D quasi-interpolation operators are presented using these functions. Both analysis and numerical results show that the interpolation operators constructed in this paper are monotonic and conservative. In particular, we consider the numerical simulations of 2D Euler equations based on the technique of structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR). In SAMR simulations, effective interpolators are needed for information transportation between the coarser/finer meshes. We applied the 2D quasi-interpolation operator to this environment, and the simulation result show the efficiency and correctness of our interpolator.     

Smoothness Properties of Modified Bernstein-Kantorovich Operators

In this article, we consider modified Bernstein-Kantorovich operators and investigate their approximation properties. We show that the order of approximation to a function by these operators is at least as good as that of ones classically used. We obtain a simultaneous approximation result for our operators. Also, we prove two direct approximation results via the usual second-order modulus of smoothness and the second-order Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness, respectively. Finally, some graphical illustrations are provided.     

Shift formulas for root functions of odd-order differential operators with nonsmooth coefficients

We obtain shift formulas for the root functions of odd-order differential operators with nonsmooth coefficients (an exact formula for first-order operators and an asymptotic formula for operators of higher odd order); these formulas are needed when studying the convergence of spectral expansions in root functions.     

Approximation by Shepard type pseudo-linear operators and applications to Image Processing

Recently, it has been shown that sum and product are not the only operations that can be used in order to define concrete approximation operators. Several other operations provided by fuzzy sets theory can be used. In the present paper, pseudo-linear approximation operators are investigated from the practical point of view in Image Processing. We study max–min, max–product Shepard type approximation operators together with Shepard operators based on pseudo-operations generated by an increasing continuous generator. It is shown that in several cases these outperform classical approximation operators based on sum and product operations.

Order of linear approximation from shift-invariant spaces

A Fourier analysis approach is taken to investigate the approximation order of scaled versions of certain linear operators into shift-invariant subspaces ofL ₂(R ^d ). Quasi-interpolants and cardinal interpolants are special operators of this type, and we give a complete characterization of the order in terms of some type of ellipticity condition for a related function. We apply these results by showing that theL ₂-approximation order of a closed shift-invariant subspace can often be realized by such an operator.     

Complex of twistor operators in symplectic spin geometry

For a symplectic manifold admitting a metaplectic structure (a symplectic analogue of the Riemannian spin structure), we construct a sequence consisting of differential operators using a symplectic torsion-free affine connection. All but one of these operators are of first order. The first order ones are symplectic analogues of the twistor operators known from Riemannian spin geometry. We prove that under the condition the symplectic Weyl curvature tensor field of the symplectic connection vanishes, the mentioned sequence forms a complex. This gives rise to a new complex for the so called Ricci type symplectic manifolds, which admit a metaplectic structure.

Mixed logic and storage operators

In 1990 J-L. Krivine introduced the notion of storage operators. They are -terms which simulate call-by-value in the call-by-name strategy and they can be used in order to modelize assignment instructions. J-L. Krivine has shown that there is a very simple second order type in AF2 type system for storage operators using G?del translation of classical to intuitionistic logic. In order to modelize the control operators, J-L. Krivine has extended the system AF2 to the classical logic. In his system the property of the unicity of integers representation is lost, but he has shown that storage operators typable in the system AF2 can be used to find the values of classical integers. In this paper, we present a new classical type system based on a logical system called mixed logic. We prove that in this system we can characterize, by types, the storage operators and the control operators. Received: 7 May 1997     

Approximation of functions of two variables by certain linear positive operators

We introduce certain linear positive operators and study some approximation properties of these operators in the space of functions, continuous on a compact set, of two variables. We also find the order of this approximation by using modulus of continuity. Moreover we define an rth order generalization of these operators and observe its approximation properties. Furthermore, we study the convergence of the linear positive operators in a weighted space of functions of two variables and find the rate of this convergence using weighted modulus of continuity.     

Classification of 1st order symplectic spinor operators over contact projective geometries

We give a classification of 1st order invariant differential operators acting between sections of certain bundles associated to Cartan geometries of the so-called metaplectic contact projective type. These bundles are associated via representations, which are derived from the so-called higher symplectic (sometimes also called harmonic or generalized Kostant) spinor modules. Higher symplectic spinor modules are arising from the Segal-Shale-Weil representation of the metaplectic group by tensoring it by finite dimensional modules. We show that for all pairs of the considered bundles, there is at most one 1st order invariant differential operator up to a complex multiple and give an equivalence condition for the existence of such an operator. Contact projective analogues of the well known Dirac, twistor and Rarita-Schwinger operators appearing in Riemannian geometry are special examples of these operators.     

On the filling in holes problem for operator matrices

We consider upper-triangular 2-by-2 operator matrices and are interested in the set that has to be added to certain spectra of the matrix in order to get the union of the corresponding spectra of the two diagonal operators. We show that in the cases of the Browder essential approximate point spectrum, the upper semi-Fredholm spectrum, or the lower semi-Fredholm spectrum the set in question need not to be an open set but may be just a singleton. In addition, we modify and extend known results on Hilbert space operators to operators on Banach spaces.     

Evolution Equations Associated with Recursively Defined Bernstein-Type Operators

We continue the study of the generalization of Bernstein operators introduced previously, obtained by requiring suitable recursive relations on the binomial-type coefficients. We show that these operators can be used to approximate the solutions of some degenerate second order parabolic problems.
