Characterizations of absolute F σδ-sets

We give several internal characterizations for the metrizable absolute F -spaces. The characterizing conditions involve the existence of compatible bicomplete quasi-metrics, of complete sequences of -discrete closed covers and of compact -discrete closed networks.     

On pairs of unbounded self-adjoint operators satisfying an algebraic relation

Unbounded pairs of self-adjoint operatorsA andB satisfying the algebraic relationF ₁(A)B=BF ₂(A) are studied. For these relations, various definitions of integrable pairs of operators are presented and the class of tame relations is indicated; for the tame relations, the irreducible pairs are described and a structure theorem is presented.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 9, pp. 1253–1258, September, 1993.

The embedding of linearly ordered sets

It is shown that if a linearly ordered set B does not contain as subsets sets of order type and ^* then B can be embedded in 2 .

On the Continuity of Pathwise Solutions to Langevin Equations in Infinite Dimensions

We fix a rich probability space (,F,P). Let (H,) be a separable Hilbert space and let be the canonical cylindrical Gaussian measure on H. Given any abstract Wiener space (H,B,) over H, and for every Hilbert–Schmidt operator T: HBH which is (|{}|,)-continuous, where |{}| stands for the (Gross-measurable) norm on B, we construct an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process : (,F,P)×[0,1](B,|{}|) as a pathwise solution of the following infinite-dimensional Langevin equation d _t =db _t +T( _t )dt with the initial data ₀=0, where b is a B-valued Brownian motion based on the abstract Wiener space (H,B,). The richness of the probability space (,F,P) then implies the following consequences: the probability space is independent of the abstract Wiener space (H,B,) (in the sense that (,F,P) does not depend on the choice of the Gross-measurable norm |{}|) and the space C _B consisting of all continuous B-valued functions on [0,1] is identical with the set of all paths of . Finally, we present a way to obtain pathwise continuous solutions :d _t =

О метрических свойст вах особых множеств г оломорфных функций нескольких п еременных

LetG be a domain inC ⁿ ,EG, mes E=0 for (r)=r ^2n–1(r), where (r) is a nondecreasing non-negative function (r>0). Iff(z) is holomorphic inGE and (,f, GE)(), C=const, thenf(z) is holomorphic inG.The impossibility of the relaxation of the stipulations on () and(r) is also established.The statement above is a corollary to a more general result about the representation of a holomorphic function from a certain class in the form of an integral with respect to -measure, extended over the set of singular points of the function.     

Characterization theorem of generalized polynomial of best approximation having bounded coefficients

Let the set of generalized polynomials having bounded coefficients beK={p= _jg_j. _{j j j},j=1, 2, ...,n}, whereg ₁,g ₂, ...,g _n are linearly independent continuous functions defined on the interval [a, b], _j, _j are extended real numbers satisfying _j<+, _j>-, and _{j j}. Assume thatf is a continuous function defined on a compact setX [a, b]. This paper gives the characterization theorem forp being the best uniform approximation tof fromK, and points out that the characterization theorem can be applied in calculating the approximate solution of best approximation tof fromK.     

Random rotations of the Wiener path

Summary Let (W, H, ) be an abstract Wiener space and letR(w) be a strongly measurable random variable with values in the set of isometries onH. Suppose that Rh is smooth in the Sobolev sense and that it is a quasi-nilpotent operator onH for everyhH. It is shown that (R(w)h) is again a Gaussian (0, |h| _H ² )-random variable. Consequently, if (e _i ,i)W ^* is a complete, orthonormal basis ofH, then defines a measure preserving transformation, a rotation, onW. It is also shown that if for some strongly measurable, operator valued (onH) random variableR, (R(w+k)h) is (0, |h| _H ² )-Gaussian for allk, hH, thenR is an isometry and Rh is quasi-nilpotent for allHH. The relation between the stochastic calculi for these Wiener pathsw and , as well as the conditions of the inverbibility of the map are discussed and the problem of the absolute continuity of the image of the Wiener measure under Euclidean motion on the Wiener space (i.e. composed with a shift) is studied.The research of the second author was supported by the Fund for the Promotion of Research at the TechnionDedicated to the memory of Albert Badrikian     

On the asymptotic equivalence ofL pmetrics for convergence to normality

Summary This paper is concerned with the rate of convergence to zero of theL _pmetrics _np1p, constructed out of differences between distribution functions, for departure from normality for normed sums of independent and identically distributed random variables with zero mean and unit variance. It is shown that the _np are, under broad conditions, asymptotically equivalent in the strong sense that, for 1p, p, _np/_np is universally bounded away from zero and infinity asn.

Constrained normalization of Hamiltonian systems and perturbed Keplerian motion

Summary Consider a Hamiltonian system (H, _2n ,). LetM be a symplectic submanifold of (_2n ,). The system (H, _2n ,) constrained toM is (HM, M, M). In this paper we give an algorithm which normalizes the system on _2n in such a way that restricted toM we have normalized the constrained system. This procedure is then applied to perturbed Kepler systems such as the lunar problem and the main problem of artificial satellite theory.

Zusammenfassung Wir betrachten ein Hamiltonisches System (H, _2n ,). SeiMein symplectisches Submanifold von (_2n ,). Das System (H, _2n ,), aufM beschränkt, ist (HM,M,M). In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein Algorithmus vorgeschlagen, der dieses System so auf _2n normalisiert, daß das aufM beschränkte System auch normalisiert ist. Dieser Algorithmus wird dann auf gestörte Keplersysteme, wie z. B. das Hill-sche Mondproblem und das Hauptproblem der Theorie der künstlichen Satelliten, angewendet.

     

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.     

On the exactness of a theorem of Mazur and Orlicz

For a preassigned unbounded sequence {S_n} of complex numbers, and preassigned complex numbers z₁ and z₂z₁ we construct: 1) regular matrices A=a_nk and B=b_nk such that the same bounded sequences are summable by these matrices and that , and ; 2) regular matrices A⁽¹⁾)=a _nk ⁽¹⁾ and B⁽¹⁾=b _nk ⁽¹⁾ such that B⁽¹⁾ A⁽¹⁾, and, . Our results show that the well known theorem of MazurOrlicz on the bounded consistency of two regular matrices, one of which is boundedly stronger than the other, is exact.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 11, No. 4, pp. 431–436, April, 1972.

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.     

On the long term behavior of some finite particle systems

Summary We consider the problem of comparing large finite and infinite systems with locally interacting components, and present a general comparison scheme for the case when the infinite system is nonergodic. We show that this scheme holds for some specific models. One of these is critical branching random walk onZ ^d . Let _t denote this system, and let _t ^N denote a finite version of _t defined on the torus [–N,N] ^d Z ^d . Ford3 we prove that for stationary, shift ergodic initial measures with density , that ifT(N) andT(N)/(2N+1)^d s[0,] asN, then {v }, 0 is the set of extremal invariant measures for the infinite system _t andQ _s is the transition function of Feller's branching diffusion. We prove several extensions and refinements of this result. The other systems we consider are the voter model and the contact process.Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant DMS-8802055, by the U.S. Army Research Office through the Mathematical Sciences Institute at Cornell University and by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft through the SFB 123 at the Universität Heidelberg
