SEGAL ALGEBRA $\[{A_{1,p}}(G)\]$ AND ITS MULTIPLIERS

Let G be a locally compactb abelian group and $\[{A_p}(G)\]$ the p-Fourier algeba of Herz. This pepar studies the space $\[{A_{1,p}}(G) = {L_1}(G) \cap {A_p}(G)\]$ with convolution product. It is proved that $\[{A_{1,p}}(G)\]$ is a character Segal algebra. Moreover, for the multipliers of $\[{A_{1,p}}(G)\]$ the author proves that $\[M({A_{1,p}}(G),{L_1}(G)) = M(G)\]$ and $\[M({A_{1,p}}(G),{A_{1,p}}(G)) = M(G)\]$ provided G is noncompact. If G is discrete, then $\[M({A_{1,p}}(G),{L_1}(G)) = {A_{1,p}}(G)\$ and $\[M({A_{1,p}}(G),{A_{1,p}}(G)) = {A_{1,p}}(G)\]$     

ASYMPTOTICALLY OPTIMAL EMPIRICAL BAYES ESTIMATION FOR PARAMETERS OF TWO-SIDED TRUNCATION DISTRIBUTION FAMILIES

Consider the two-sided truncation distrbution families written in the formf(x,θ)dx=w(θ_1, θ_2)h(x)I_([θ_1,θ_2])(x)dx, where θ=(θ_1,θ_2).T(x)=(t_1(x), t_2(x))=(min(x_1,…,x_m), max(x_1, …,x_m))is a sufficient statistic and its marginal density is denoted by f(t)dμ~T. The prior distribution of θ belongs to the familyF={G:∫‖θ‖~2dG(θ)<∞}.In this paper, the author constructs the empirical Bayes estimator (EBE) of θ, φ_n (t), by using the kernel estimation of f(t). Under a quite general assumption imposed upon f(t) and h(x), it is shown that φ_n(t) is an asymptotically optimal EBE of θ.

By using the exponential dichotomy and the averaging method,a perturbation theoryis established for the almost periodic solutions of an almost differential system.Suppose that the almost periodic differential system(dx)/(dt)=f(x,t) ε~2g(x,t,ε)(1)has an almost periodic solution x=x_0(t,M)for ε=0,where M=(m_1,…,m_k)is theparameter vector.The author discusses the conditions under which(1)has an almostperiodic solution x=x(t,ε)such that x(t,ε)=x_0(t,M)holds uniformly.The results obtained are quite complete.     

INITIAL VALUE PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR DEGENERATE SYSTEMS OF FILTRATION TYPE

In this paper, the periodic boundary problem and the initial value problem for the nonlinear system of parabolic type $\[{u_t} = (grad\varphi (u))\]$ are studied, where $\[u = ({u_1}, \cdots ,{u_N})\]$ is an N-dimensional vector valued function, $\[\varphi (u)\]$ is a strict convex function of vector variable $\[u\]$, and its matrix of derivatives of second order is zero-definite at $\[u = 0\]$. This system is degenerate. The definition of the generalized solution of the problem: $\[u(x,t) \in {L_\infty }((0,T);{L_2}(R)),\]$, grad $\[\varphi (u) \in {L_\infty }((0,T);W_2^{(1)}(R)),\]$ and it satisfies appropriate integral relation. The existence and uniqueness of the generalized solution of the problem are proved. When N=1, the system is the commonly so-called degenerate partial differential equation of filtration type.

ON ADMISSffilLITY OF VARIANCE COMPONENTS ESTIMATES

Suppose that there is a variance components model $$\[\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {E\mathop Y\limits_{n \times 1} = \mathop X\limits_{n \times p} \mathop \beta \limits_{p \times 1} }\{DY = \sigma _2^2{V_1} + \sigma _2^2{V_2}} \end{array}} \right.\]$$ where $\[\beta \]$,$\[\sigma _1^2\]$ and $\[\sigma _2^2\]$ are all unknown, $\[X,V > 0\]$ and $\[{V_2} > 0\]$ are all known, $\[r(X) < n\]$. The author estimates simultaneously $\[(\sigma _1^2,\sigma _2^2)\]$. Estimators are restricted to the class $\[D = \{ d({A_1}{A_2}) = ({Y^''}{A_1}Y,{Y^''}{A_2}Y),{A_1} \ge 0,{A_2} \ge 0\} \]$. Suppose that the loss function is $\[L(d({A_1},{A_2}),(\sigma _1^2,\sigma _2^2)) = \frac{1}{{\sigma _1^4}}({Y^''}{A_1}Y - \sigma _1^2) + \frac{1}{{\sigma _2^4}}{({Y^''}{A_2}Y - \sigma _2^2)^2}\]$. This paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for $\[d({A_1},{A_2})\]$ to be an equivariant D-asmissible estimator under the restriction $\[{V_1} = {V_2}\]$, and a sufficient condition and a necessary condition for $\[d({A_1},{A_2})\]$ to equivariant D-asmissible without the restriction.

Let $F$ denote a field, finite or infinite, with characteristic $\[p \ne 0\]$. In this paper, the author obtains the following result: The symmetric polynomial on $t$ letters $$\[{S_{sym(t)}}({x_1},{x_2}, \cdots ,{x_t}) = \sum\limits_{x \in sym(t)} {{X_{\pi 1}}{X_{\pi 2}} \cdots {X_{\pi t}}} \]$$ is a polynomial identity of $\[{M_n}(F)\]$ when $\[t \ge pn\]$, and this is sharp in the sense that if $\[t \le pn - 1\]$,it is not a polynomial identity of $\[{M_n}(F)\]$.

W. Stroock, it is shown that2t ln p(t, x, y)=-d~2(x, y).Moreover, it is proved that P_y~6 has large deviation property with rate functionI(ω)=1/2 integral from n=0 to 1<(t), α~(-1)(ω(t)),(t)>dtas s→0 and y→x, where P_y~6 denotes the diffusion measure family associated with the Dirichlet form (ε, H_0~1(R~d)).

This paper gives a characteristic property of the Euler characteristic for IBN rings. The following results: are proved. (1) If R is a commutative ring, M, N are two stable free R-modules, then χ(MN)=χ(M)χ(N), where χ denotes the Euler characteristic. (2) If f: K_0(R)→Z is a ring isomorphism, where K_0(R) denotes the Grothendieck group of R, K_0(R) is a ring when R is commutative, then f([M])=χ(M) and χ(MN)=χ(M)χ(N) when M, N are finitely generated projective R-modules, where.the isomorphism class [M] is a generator of K_0(R). In addition, some applications of the results above are also obtained.

Some estimates about injective radius are obtained.Some example is found showing that the inequalities in B are sharp.
