Finitely additive representation of spaces

Let be any atomless and countably additive probability measure on the product space with the usual σ-algebra. Then there is a purely finitely additive probability measure λ on the power set of a countable subset such that can be isometrically isomorphically embedded as a closed subspace of L^p(λ). The embedding is strict. It is also ‘canonical,’ in the sense that it maps simple and continuous functions on to their restrictions to T.     

Inverse eigenproblem for -symmetric matrices and their approximation

Let be a nontrivial involution, i.e., R=R⁻¹≠±I_n. We say that is R-symmetric if RGR=G. The set of all -symmetric matrices is denoted by . In this paper, we first give the solvability condition for the following inverse eigenproblem (IEP): given a set of vectors in and a set of complex numbers , find a matrix such that and are, respectively, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A. We then consider the following approximation problem: Given an n×n matrix , find such that , where is the solution set of IEP and is the Frobenius norm. We provide an explicit formula for the best approximation solution by means of the canonical correlation decomposition.

Applying a version of the non-smooth three-critical-points theorem we obtain the existence of three solutions of the problem in .     

The Fréchet and limiting subdifferentials of integral functionals on the spaces

A new approach to computing the Fréchet subdifferential and the limiting subdifferential of integral functionals is proposed. Thanks to this way, we obtain formulae for computing the Fréchet and limiting subdifferentials of the integral functional , uL₁(Ω,E). Here is a measured space with an atomless σ-finite complete positive measure, E is a separable Banach space, and . Under some assumptions, it turns out that these subdifferentials coincide with the Fenchel subdifferential of F.

For any integers p,n≥2 necessary and sufficient conditions are given for scaling filters with pⁿ many terms to generate a p-multiresolution analysis in . A method for constructing orthogonal compactly supported p-wavelets on is described. Also, an adaptive p-wavelet approximation in is considered.     

Widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the ball

We study the Kolmogorov n-widths and the linear n-widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the unit ball B^d in L_q,μ, where L_q,μ, 1≤q≤∞, denotes the weighted L_q space of functions on B^d with respect to weight . Optimal asymptotic orders of and as n→∞ are obtained for all 1≤p,q≤∞ and μ≥0.     

Projective change between two classes of -metrics

In this paper, we find equations to characterize projective change between (α,β)-metric and Randers metric on a manifold with dimension n3, where α and are two Riemannian metrics, β and are two nonzero one forms. Moreover, we consider this projective change when F has some special curvature properties.     

Instance-optimality in probability with an -minimization decoder

Let Φ(ω), ωΩ, be a family of n×N random matrices whose entries _i,j are independent realizations of a symmetric, real random variable η with expectation and variance . Such matrices are used in compressed sensing to encode a vector by y=Φx. The information y holds about x is extracted by using a decoder . The most prominent decoder is the ℓ₁-minimization decoder Δ which gives for a given the element which has minimal ℓ₁-norm among all with Φz=y. This paper is interested in properties of the random family Φ(ω) which guarantee that the vector will with high probability approximate x in to an accuracy comparable with the best k-term error of approximation in for the range kan/log₂(N/n). This means that for the above range of k, for each signal , the vector satisfies

with high probability on the draw of Φ. Here, Σ_k consists of all vectors with at most k nonzero coordinates. The first result of this type was proved by Wojtaszczyk [P. Wojtaszczyk, Stability and instance optimality for Gaussian measurements in compressed sensing, Found. Comput. Math., in press] who showed this property when η is a normalized Gaussian random variable. We extend this property to more general random variables, including the particular case where η is the Bernoulli random variable which takes the values with equal probability. The proofs of our results use geometric mapping properties of such random matrices some of which were recently obtained in [A. Litvak, A. Pajor, M. Rudelson, N. Tomczak-Jaegermann, Smallest singular value of random matrices and geometry of random polytopes, Adv. Math. 195 (2005) 491–523].

To problem (1), we associate a linear recursive scheme for which the existence of a local and unique weak solution is proved by applying the Faedo–Galerkin method and the weak compact method. In the case of , , μ(z)≥μ₀>0, μ₁(z)≥0, for all , and , , , a weak solution u_ε1,ε2(x,t) having an asymptotic expansion of order N+1 in two small parameters ε₁, ε₂ is established for the following equation associated to (1)_2,3:

Index theory for boundary value problems via continuous fields of -algebras

We prove an index theorem for boundary value problems in Boutet de Monvel's calculus on a compact manifold X with boundary. The basic tool is the tangent semi-groupoid generalizing the tangent groupoid defined by Connes in the boundaryless case, and an associated continuous field of C^*-algebras over [0,1]. Its fiber in =0, , can be identified with the symbol algebra for Boutet de Monvel's calculus; for ≠0 the fibers are isomorphic to the algebra of compact operators. We therefore obtain a natural map . Using deformation theory we show that this is the analytic index map. On the other hand, using ideas from noncommutative geometry, we construct the topological index map and prove that it coincides with the analytic index map.     

Schurian vector space categories, hereditary algebras and Roiter's norm

We associate a positive real number to any vector space K-category over a field K. Generalizing a result of Nazarova and Roiter, we show that a schurian vector space K-category is representation-finite if and only if is finite and . Such vector space categories are quasilinear, i.e. its indecomposables are simple modules over their endomorphism ring. Recently, Nazarova and Roiter introduced the concept of -faithful poset in order to clarify the structure of critical posets. Their conjecture on the precise form of -faithful posets was established by Zeldich. We generalize these results and characterize -faithful quasilinear vector space K-categories in terms of a class of hereditary algebras H_ρ(D) parametrized by a skew-field D and a rational number ρ1.     

Hessenberg pairs of linear transformations

Let denote a field and V denote a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space over . We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations A:V→V and A^*:V→V that satisfy (i)–(iii) below.

1. [(i)]Each of A,A^* is diagonalizable on V.

2. [(ii)]There exists an ordering of the eigenspaces of A such that

where V_-1=0, V_d+1=0.

3. [(iii)]There exists an ordering of the eigenspaces of A^* such that

where , .

We call such a pair a Hessenberg pair on V. In this paper we obtain some characterizations of Hessenberg pairs. We also explain how Hessenberg pairs are related to tridiagonal pairs.

Construction of nonseparable dual -wavelet frames in

Suppose and are two pairs of dual M-wavelet frames and N-wavelet frames in and , respectively, where M and N are s₁×s₁ and s₂×s₂ dilation matrices with a₁(|det(M)|-1) and (2a₂+1)(|det(N)|-1). Moreover, their mask symbols both satisfy mixed extension principle (MEP). Based on the mask symbols, a family of nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames in are constructed, where s=s₁+s₂, and with Θ and M^-1Θ both being integer matrices. Then a convolution scheme for improving regularity of wavelet frames is given. From the nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames, nonseparable Ω-wavelet frames with high regularity can be constructed easily. We give an algorithm for constructing nonseparable dual symmetric or antisymmetric wavelet frames in . From the dual Ω-wavelet frames, nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames with symmetry can be obtained easily. In the end, two examples are given.     

Extremal fullerene graphs with the maximum Clar number

A fullerene graph is a cubic 3-connected plane graph with (exactly 12) pentagonal faces and hexagonal faces. Let F_n be a fullerene graph with n vertices. A set of mutually disjoint hexagons of F_n is a sextet pattern if F_n has a perfect matching which alternates on and off every hexagon in . The maximum cardinality of sextet patterns of F_n is the Clar number of F_n. It was shown that the Clar number is no more than . Many fullerenes with experimental evidence attain the upper bound, for instance, C₆₀ and C₇₀. In this paper, we characterize extremal fullerene graphs whose Clar numbers equal . By the characterization, we show that there are precisely 18 fullerene graphs with 60 vertices, including C₆₀, achieving the maximum Clar number 8 and we construct all these extremal fullerene graphs.

Über ein Turánsches problem für radiale, positiv definite Funktionen, II

Turán's problem is to determine the greatest possible value of the integral for positive definite functions f(x), , supported in a given convex centrally symmetric body , . We consider the problem for positive definite functions of the form f(x)=(x₁), , with supported in [0,π], extending results of our first paper from two to arbitrary dimensions.Our two papers were motivated by investigations of Professor Y. Xu and the 2nd named author on, what they called, ℓ-1 summability of the inverse Fourier integral on . Their investigations gave rise to a pair of transformations (h_d,m_d) on which they studied using special functions, in particular spherical Bessel functions.To study the d-dimensional Turán problem, we had to extend relevant results of B. & X., and we did so using again Bessel functions. These extentions seem to us to be equally interesting as the application to Turán's problem.     

The equation on weakly pseudo-convex CR manifolds of dimension 3

Let M be a smooth, compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension 3, embedded in (N2), of codimension one or more, and endowed with the induced CR structure. Assuming that the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator has closed range in L²(M) in order to rule out the Rossi example, we push regularity up to show has closed range in H^s(M) for all s>0. We then use the Szegö projection to show there is a smooth solution for the problem given smooth data. The results are obtained via microlocalization by piecing together estimates for functions and (0,1) forms that hold on different microlocal regions.
