On Analytic Campanato and <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>) Spaces

We investigate the relation between analytic Campanato spaces \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) and the spaces F(p, q, s), characterize the bounded and compact Riemann–Stieltjes operators from \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) to \(F(p,p-s-1,s)\). We also describe the corona theorem and the interpolating sequences for the class \(F(p,p-2,s)\), which is the Möbius invariant subspace of the analytic Besov type spaces \(B_p(s)\).     

On the regularity of scalar <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Harmonic functions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> dimensions with 2 ≤ <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> < <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>

Using Tilli’s technique [Cal Var 25(3):395–401, 2006], we shall give a new proof of the regularity of the local minima of the functional

$J\left( u\right) =\int\limits_{\Omega } \left\vert \partial u\right\vert^{p}\,dx$

with Ω a domain of class C ^{0, 1} in \({\mathbb{R}^{n}}\) and 2 ≤ p < n.

     

Difference sets with <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> = 5<Emphasis Type="Italic"> p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let D be a (v, k, λ)-difference set in an abelian group G, and (v, 31) = 1. If n = 5p ^r with p a prime not dividing v and r a positive integer, then p is a multiplier of D. In the case 31|v, we get restrictions on the parameters of such difference sets D for which p may not be a multiplier.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Adic Brownian motion over ℚ<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper, we generalize the result of Bikulov and Volovich (1997) and construct a p-adic Brownian motion over ℚ _p . First, we construct directly a p-adic white noise over ℚ _p by using a specific complete orthonormal system of (ℚ _p ). A p-adic Brownian motion over ℚ _p is then constructed by the Paley-Wiener method. Finally, we introduce a p-adic random walk and prove a theorem on the approximation of a p-adic Brownian motion by a p-adic random walk.     

Supersymmetry-inspired low-energy <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> elastic scattering phases

We consider an effective potential model consisting of an electromagnetic part plus a nuclear part as the ground state interaction for an α–p system. The next few higher partial wave interactions are generated using the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We adapt the phase function method to compute α–p elastic scattering phases up to 12 MeV, including the effect of the electromagnetic interaction quite rigorously in our phase shift calculation. With the further incorporation of some energy-dependent correction factors to our interactions, we obtain a good agreement with the experimental data.     

The smooth structure set of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Superscript>

We calculate \({\mathcal{S}^{{\it Diff}}(S^p \times S^q)}\), the smooth structure set of S ^p × S ^q , for p, q ≥ 2 and p + q ≥ 5. As a consequence we show that in general \({\mathcal{S}^{Diff}(S^{4j-1}\times S^{4k})}\) cannot admit a group structure such that the smooth surgery exact sequence is a long exact sequence of groups. We also show that the image of the forgetful map \({\mathcal{S}^{Diff}(S^{4j}\times S^{4k}) \rightarrow \mathcal{S}^{Top}(S^{4j}\times S^{4k})}\) is not in general a subgroup of the topological structure set.     

Weak-Polynomial Convergence on Spaces ℓ<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

This paper is concerned with the study of the set P ^-1(0), when P varies over all orthogonally additive polynomials on _p and L _p spaces. We apply our results to obtain characterizations of the weak-polynomial topologies associated to this class of polynomials.     

On the equation Δ<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>)<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> = 0

Sufficient conditions for the blow-up of nontrivial generalized solutions of the interior Dirichlet problem with homogeneous boundary condition for the homogeneous elliptic-type equation Δu + q(x)u = 0, where either q(x) ≠ const or q(x) = const= λ > 0, are obtained. A priori upper bounds (Theorem 4 and Remark 6) for the exact constants in the well-known Sobolev and Steklov inequalities are established.     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-supersolubility of a finite group with a µ-supplemented sylow <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-subgroup

A subgroup H of a group G is called µ-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K such that G = HK and H ₁ K is a proper subgroup in G for every maximal subgroup H ₁ in H. For the initial values of p, we establish the p-supersolubility of a finite group with a μ-supplemented Sylow p-subgroup.     

On blocks with <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>)−<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>)=1

We use the method of local representation and original method of Brauer to study the block with K(B)−L(B)=1, and get some properties on the defect group and the structure of this kind of blocks. Then, we show that K(B) conjecture holds for this kind of blocks.     

On common values of <Emphasis Type="Italic">φ</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>) and <Emphasis Type="Italic">σ</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>). I

We show, conditional on a uniform version of the prime k-tuples conjecture, that there are x/(log x)^1+o(1) numbers not exceeding x common to the ranges of φ and σ. Here φ is Euler’s totient function and σ is the sum-of-divisors function.     

Borel equivalence relations between <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper, we show that, for each p 〉 1, there are continuum many Borel equivalence relations between Rω/l1 and Rω/p ordered by ≤B which are pairwise Borel incomparable.     

Rational approximations of functions of Markov-Stieltjes type in Hardy spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>, 0 < <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> ≤ ∞

Orders of the best approximations for functions of Markov-Stieltjes type in the space H ^p are considered in the case of intersection of the measure support and the boundary of a unit circle. The results of J.-E. Andersson for functions with a singularity at a single point of a unit circumference are extended to the case of two singularities on that circumference.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Adic valuation of the Morgan–Voyce sequence and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-regularity

We characterize the p-adic valuation of the Morgan–Voyce sequence and its companion sequence. Further, we show that the p-adic valuation of the Morgan–Voyce sequence is a p-regular sequence and we determine its rank explicitly.     

On the distribution of <Emphasis Type="Italic">αp</Emphasis> modulo one for primes <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> of a special form

A classical problem in analytic number theory is to study the distribution of αp modulo 1, where α is irrational and p runs over the set of primes. We consider the subsequence generated by the primes p such that p+2 is an almost-prime (the existence of infinitely many such p is another topical result in prime number theory) and prove that its distribution has a similar property.     

Convergence Theorems for ℓ<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-Norm Minimizers with Respect to <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>

Let C be a fixed compact convex subset of and let x_p be the unique minimal _p-norm element in C for any . In this paper, we study the convergence of x_p as p or , respectively. We characterize also the limit point as the minimal element of C with respect to the lexical minimax order relation or the lexical minitotal order relation, respectively.Communicated by D. G.

Convergence in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>([0, <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>]) of Wavelet Expansions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">φ</Emphasis>-Sub-Gaussian Random Processes

The article presents new results on convergence in L _p ([0,T]) of wavelet expansions of φ-sub-Gaussian random processes. The convergence rate of the expansions is obtained. Specifications of the obtained results are discussed.     

An <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-approach for packing (<Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">w</Emphasis>)-rectangles into rectangular and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-shaped pieces

This paper presents an approach using a recursive algorithm for packing (?, w)-rectangles into larger rectangular and L-shaped pieces. Such a problem has actual applications for non-guillotine cutting and pallet/container loading. Our motivation for developing the L-approach is based on the fact that it can solve difficult pallet loading instances. Indeed, it is able to solve all testing problems (more than 20 000 representatives of infinite equivalence classes of the literature), including the 18 hard instances unresolved by other heuristics. We conjecture that the L-approach always finds optimum packings of (?, w)-rectangles into rectangular pieces. Moreover, the approach may also be useful when dealing with cutting and packing problems involving L-shaped pieces.     

Bases of exponents in weighted spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">−π, π</Emphasis>)

The system of exponents $ \left\{ {e^{i\lambda _n t} } \right\}_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} $ \left\{ {e^{i\lambda _n t} } \right\}_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} is considered. A sufficient condition for a Riesz-property basis in the weighted space L ^p (−π, π) is obtained.
