Investigation of a problem for the Laplace equation with a boundary condition of a special form in a plane angle

The explicit solution of the equation u=f in a plane infinite angle, satisfying on one side of the angle a Neumann condition and on the other one the condition u/n + hu/r + u= (/r is the tangential derivative, C, 0), is constructed and estimated in weighted Sobolev spaces. The obtained estimates are sharp with respect to the differential order and are uniform with respect to . The construction of the solution reduces to the investigation of a finite difference equation in the complex plane, arising after a Mellin transform.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

φ-Factors for Function Seminorms

Let (, A, ) be a measure space, a function seminorm on M, the space of measurable functions on , and M the space {f M : (f) < }. Every Borel measurable function : [0, ) [0, ) induces a function : M M by (f)(x) = (|f(x)|). We introduce the concepts of -factor and -invariant space. If is a -subadditive seminorm function, we give, under suitable conditions over , necessary and sufficient conditions in order that M be invariant and prove the existence of -factors for . We also give a characterization of the best -factor for a -subadditive function seminorm when is -finite. All these results generalize those about multiplicativity factors for function seminorms proved earlier.     

Stabilization of solutions of certain parabolic equations and systems

This paper concerns the investigation of the stabilization of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a system of equations of the form u/t = u + f_i(u, v); v/t = v + F₂(u, v). It is proved that under certain assumptions the behavior of solutions as t is determined by mutual arrangement of the set of initial conditions {(u, v): u = f₁(x), v =f ₂(x), xRⁿ} and the trajectories of the system of ordinary differential equations du/dt = F₁(u, v), dv/dt = F₂(u, v). The question of stabilization of the solutions of a single quasilinear parabolic equation is also considered.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 85–92, January, 1968.     

Local partial regularity theorems for suitable weak solutions of a class of degenerate systems

A partial regularity theorem is established for a particular class of weak solutions to the systemu/t– div(K(u)u)=(u)¦¦², div((u))=0 on a bounded domain inR ^N . Under our assumptions, (u) may exhibit exponential decay, and thus the system may be degenerate. Our proof is based upon a blow-up argument.This work was supported in part by NSF Grant DMS9424448.     

Perturbation of the poles of the scattering matrix under variation of the boundary condition

The behavior of the poles z_n(), n=1,2,... of the scattering matrix of the operatorl u=–u(x), x , (u/n)+(x)u|=0 as 0 is considered. It is proved that |z_n()–z_n|=0(^(1/2)qn), where q_n is the order of the pole of the scattering matrix for the operator ₀u=–u, u/=0.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

An Inequality for Tail Probabilities of Martingales with Bounded Differences

Let M _n =X₁+...+X_n be a martingale with bounded differences X_m=M_m-M_m-1 such that {|X_m| _m}=1 with some nonnegative _m. Write ²= ₁ ² + ... + _n ² . We prove the inequalities {M _nx}c(1-(x/)), {M _n x} 1- c(1- (-x/)) with a constant . The result yields sharp inequalities in some models related to the measure concentration phenomena.

Uniform boundedness of a family of set functions

Let be a ring of sets, X a normed space, : X ( ) a bounded family of triangular functions. The following generalized Nikodym theorem is established: the family {} is uniformly bounded on if and only if it is bounded on every sequence of pairwise disjoint sets of which the union is a part of some set in . An analogous criterion is established also for semiadditive functions. In addition, it is shown that uniform boundedness of a family of triangular functions is preserved in passing from a ring to the -ring it generates.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 23, No. 6, pp. 855–861, June, 1978.     

Estimate of the modulus of continuity of the generalized solutions of certain singular parabolic equations

One considers singular parabolic equations of the form (u)/t–u0,where sign u is a multivalued function, equal to -I for u<0, to 1 for u>0, and to the segment [-I,I] for u=0. Such a class of equations contains, in particular, the model for the two-phase Stefan problem, the porous medium equation, and the plasma equation. For the bounded generalized solutions u(x,t) of the indicated equations (without the assumption u/L²one has established a qualified local estimate of the modulus of continuity.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Ins'tituta im.

Solvability of partial differential equations of infinite order in certain classes of entire functions

The general form of a solution of the homogeneous equation y=0 is established. The growth of a solution is investigated by means of a system of conjugate orders and a system of conjugate types. A solvability result is also obtained in the class , where T is a certain set in R ₊ ² depending on the operator .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 19, No. 2, pp. 225–236, February, 1976.In conclusion, the author would like to express his thanks to his adviser, Yu.

Contraction of Exterior Powers in Characteristic 2 and the Spin Module

Let K be a field of characteristic 2 and letV be a vector space of dimension 2m over K. Let f be a non-degenerate alternating bilinear form defined on V × V. The symplectic group Sp(2m, K) acts on the exterior powers ^k V for 0 k. 2m There is a contraction map defined on the exterior algebra , which commutes with the Sp(2m, K) action and satisfies ² = 0 and ( ^k V) ^k–1 V We prove that ( ^k V)= ker ^k–1 V except when k=m+2. In the exceptional case, ( ^m+2 V) has codimension 2^m in ker ^m V and we show that the quotient module ker ^m V/ ^m+2 V is a spin module for Sp(2m,K). When K is algebraically closed, we show that this spin module occurs with multiplicity 1 in ^m V and multiplicity 0 in all other components of V.

Über nullstellenfreie Gebiete von ζ(itk) (s)

Let ^(itk) (s) denote thek-th derivative of the Riemann Zeta-function,s=+it, ,t real numbers,k1 rational integers. Using ideas fromT. C. Titchmarsh and from a paper ofR. Spira, lower bounds are derived for |^(itk)(s)|, |^(itk)(1-s) for >1 and some infinitely many, sufficiently large values oft. Further let be an algebraic number of degreen and heightH; then a lower bound for |^(itk)(its)|, dependent onn, H, k is established for alln,H1,k3, 2+7k/4 and all realt.

The existence of probability measures with specified projections

Let X and Y be locally compact-compact topological spaces, F X×Y is closed, and P(F) is the set of all Borel probability measures on F. For us to find, for the pair of probability measures (_x, _y P (X)×P(Y), a probability measure P(F) such that _X = _X ^–1 , _Y = _Y ^–1 it is necessary and sufficient that, for any pair of Borel sets A X, B Y for which (A× B) F=Ø, the condition _XA+ _YB 1 holds.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 573–576, October, 1973.
