On the speed of convergence in the ergodic theorem

Given any ergodic invertible measure preserving transformation τ of [0,1] and any null-sequence (α _N ) of positive reals, there exists a continuousf such that $$\lim \sup \alpha _{\rm N}^{ - 1} \left| {N^{ - 1} \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{N - 1} {f \circ \tau ^k - \smallint f} } \right| = \infty a. e.,$$ i.e. there is no “speed of convergence” in the ergodic theorem for any τ. The analogous result holds also for norm-convergence.     

Finite Flag-Transitive A n−2.L* .L Geometries

We classify finite flag-transitive geometries of rank n≥4 belonging to the following diagram $$(A_{n - 2} .L^ * .L)\;\;\;\; \cdot - - \cdot - \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot - \cdot - - \cdot - - \cdot - - \cdot ^{L^* L} $$      

On the normalizing multiplier of the generalized Jackson kernel

We consider the question of evaluating the normalizing multiplier $$\gamma _{n,k} = \frac{1}{\pi }\int_{ - \pi }^\pi {\left( {\frac{{sin\tfrac{{nt}}{2}}}{{sin\tfrac{t}{2}}}} \right)^{2k} dt} $$ for the generalized Jackson kernel J _n,k (t). We obtain the explicit formula $$\gamma _{n,k} = 2\sum\limits_{p = 0}^{\left[ {k - \tfrac{k}{n}} \right]} {( - 1)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {2k} \\ p \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {k(n + 1) - np - 1} \\ {k(n - 1) - np} \\ \end{array} } \right)} $$ and the representation $$\gamma _{n,k} = \sqrt {\frac{{24}}{\pi }} \cdot \frac{{(n - 1)^{2k - 1} }}{{\sqrt {2k - 1} }}\left[ {1\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{{2k - 1}} + \omega (n,k)} \right],$$ , where $$\left| {\omega (n,k)} \right| < \frac{4}{{(2k - 1)\sqrt {ln(2k - 1)} }} + \sqrt {12\pi } \cdot \frac{{k^{\tfrac{3}{2}} }}{{n - 1}}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{n - 1}}} \right)^{2k - 2} .$$ .     

Hausdorff measure of the level sets of multi-parameter wiener processes in one dimension

LetZ _N (t) be anN-parameter Wiener process in one dimension, and $$E(x,T) = \left\{ {t = (t_1 , \cdot \cdot \cdot ,t_N ):Z_N (t) = x,0 \leqslant t_1 , \cdot \cdot \cdot ,t_N \leqslant T} \right\}$$ . Then we obtain that with probability one, the Hausdorff measure function ofE(x,T) is $$\psi _N (r) = r^{N - \tfrac{1}{2}} (\log \log r^{ - 1} )^{\tfrac{1}{2}} ,\forall r \in (0,\frac{1}{4})$$ for anyx∈R ¹ andT>0.     

On oscillatory integral Hilbert transformation with trigonometric polynomial phase

Let $ \mathcal{P}_n $ denote the set of algebraic polynomials of degree n with the real coefficients. Stein and Wpainger [1] proved that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ where C _n depends only on n. Later A. Carbery, S. Wainger and J. Wright (according to a communication obtained from I. R. Parissis), and Parissis [3] obtained the following sharp order estimate $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \sim \ln n. $$ . Now let $ \mathcal{T}_n $ denote the set of trigonometric polynomials $$ t(x) = \frac{{a_0 }} {2} + \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {(a_k coskx + b_k sinkx)} $$ with real coefficients a _k , b _k . The main result of the paper is that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{t( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{T}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{it(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ with an effective bound on C _n . Besides, an analog of a lemma, due to I. M. Vinogradov, is established, concerning the estimate of the measure of the set, where a polynomial is small, via the coefficients of the polynomial.     

Gamma-convergence of nonlocal perimeter functionals

Given ${\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ open, connected and with Lipschitz boundary, and ${s\in (0, 1)}$ , we consider the functional $$\mathcal{J}_s(E,\Omega)\,=\, \int_{E\cap \Omega}\int_{E^c\cap\Omega}\frac{dxdy}{|x-y|^{n+s}}+\int_{E\cap \Omega}\int_{E^c\cap \Omega^c}\frac{dxdy}{|x-y|^{n+s}}\,+ \int_{E\cap \Omega^c}\int_{E^c\cap \Omega}\frac{dxdy}{|x-y|^{n+s}},$$ where ${E\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ is an arbitrary measurable set. We prove that the functionals ${(1-s)\mathcal{J}_s(\cdot, \Omega)}$ are equi-coercive in ${L^1_{\rm loc}(\Omega)}$ as ${s\uparrow 1}$ and that $$\Gamma-\lim_{s\uparrow 1}(1-s)\mathcal{J}_s(E,\Omega)=\omega_{n-1}P(E,\Omega),\quad \text{for every }E\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}\,{\rm measurable}$$ where P(E, ??) denotes the perimeter of E in ?? in the sense of De Giorgi. We also prove that as ${s\uparrow 1}$ limit points of local minimizers of ${(1-s)\mathcal{J}_s(\cdot,\Omega)}$ are local minimizers of P(·, ??).     

Mean value of weyl sums

We give a simple proof of a mean value theorem of I. M. Vinogradov in the following form. Suppose P, n, k, τ are integers, P≥1, n≥2, k≥n (τ+1), τ≥0. Put $$J_{k,n} (P) = \int_0^1 \cdots \int_0^1 {\left| {\sum\nolimits_{x = 1}^P {e^{2\pi i(a_1 x + \cdots + a_n x^n )} } } \right|^{2k} da_1 \ldots da_n .} $$ Then $$J_{k,n} \leqslant n!k^{2n\tau } n^{\sigma n^2 u} \cdot 2^{2n^2 \tau } P^{2k - \Delta } ,$$ where $$\begin{gathered} u = u_\tau = min(n + 1,\tau ), \hfill \\ \Delta = \Delta _\tau = n(n + 1)/2 - (1 - 1/n)^{\tau + 1} n^2 /2. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$      

Metric theorems related to the Kronecker-Weyl theorem modm

Let (Ω, ?,P) be the infinite product of identical copies of the unit interval probability space. For a Lebesgue measurable subsetI of the unit interval, let \(A(N,I,\omega ) = \# \left\{ {n \leqslant N|\omega _n \varepsilon I} \right\}\) , where ω=(ω₁,ω₂,...). For integersm>1, and 0≤r<m, define $$\varepsilon (k,r,m,I,\omega ) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {1\,if\,A(k,I,\omega ) \equiv r(\bmod m)} \\ {0\,otherwise} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ and $$\eta (k,m,I,\omega ) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {1\,if\,(A(k,I,\omega ),m) \equiv 1} \\ {0\,otherwise.} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ A theorem ofK. L. Chung yields an iterated logarithm law and a central limit theorem for sums of the variables ε(k) and η(k).

On permutations of central quadrics which preserve an inner distance

Letq be a regular quadratic form on a vector space (V, $\mathbb{F}$ ) and assume dimV ≥ 4 and ¦ $\mathbb{F}$ ¦ ≥ 4. We consider a permutation ? of the central affine quadric $\mathcal{F}$ := {x εV ¦q(x) = 1} such that $$(*)x \cdot y = \mu \Leftrightarrow x^\varphi \cdot y^\varphi = \mu \forall x,y\varepsilon \mathcal{F}$$ holds true, where μ is a fixed element of $\mathbb{F}$ and where “·” is the scalar product associated withq. We prove that ? is induced (in a certain sense) by a semi-linear bijection (σ,?): (V, $\mathbb{F}$ ) → (V, $\mathbb{F}$ ) such thatq o ?o q, provided $\mathcal{F}$ contains lines and the pair (μ, $\mathbb{F}$ ) has additional properties if there ar no planes in $\mathcal{F}$ . The cases μ,≠ 0 and μ = 0 require different techniques.     

Unitary SK1 of semiramified graded and valued division algebras

We prove formulas for SK₁(E, τ), which is the unitary SK₁ for a graded division algebra E finite-dimensional and semiramified over its center T with respect to a unitary involution τ on E. Every such formula yields a corresponding formula for SK₁(D, ρ) where D is a division algebra tame and semiramified over a Henselian valued field and ρ is a unitary involution on D. For example, it is shown that if ${\sf{E} \sim \sf{I}_0 \otimes_{\sf{T}_0}\sf{N}}$ where I ₀ is a central simple T ₀-algebra split by N ₀ and N is decomposably semiramified with ${\sf{N}_0 \cong L_1\otimes_{\sf{T}_0} L_2}$ with L ₁, L ₂ fields each cyclic Galois over T ₀, then $${\rm SK}_1(\sf{E}, \tau) \,\cong\ {\rm Br}(({L_1}\otimes_{\sf{T}_0} {L_2})/\sf{T}_0;\sf{T}_0^\tau)\big/ \left[{\rm Br}({L_1}/\sf{T}_0;\sf{T}_0^\tau)\cdot {\rm Br}({L_2}/\sf{T}_0;\sf{T}_0^\tau) \cdot \langle[\sf{I}_0]\rangle\right].$$      

Sensitivity of best recovery in the Sobolev spaces W_\infty ^{r,d} , \widetilde W_\infty ^{r,d}for perturbed sampling

Let $I^d $ be the d‐dimensional cube, $I^d = [0,1]^d $ , and let $F \ni f \mapsto Sf \in L_\infty (I^d ) $ be a linear operator acting on the Sobolev space F, where Fis either $$$$ or $$$$ where $$\left\| f \right\|_F = \sum\limits_{\left| m \right| = r} {\mathop {{\text{esssup}}}\limits_{x \in I^d } \left| {\frac{{\partial f^{\left| m \right|} }} {{\partial x_1^{m_1 } \partial x_2^{m_2 } \cdot \cdot \cdot \partial x_d^{m_d } }}(x)} \right|.} $$ We assume that the problem elements fsatisfy the condition $\sum\nolimits_{\left| m \right| = r} {{\text{esssup}}} _{x \in I^d } \left| {f^{(m)} (x)} \right| \leqslant 1 $ and that Sis continuous with respect to the supremum norm. We study sensitivity of optimal recovery of Sfrom inexact samples of ftaken at npoints forming a uniform grid on $I^d $ . We assume that the inaccuracy in reading the sample vector is measured in the pth norm and bounded by a nonnegative number δ. The sensitivity is defined by the difference between the optimal errors corresponding to the exact and perturbed readings, respectively. Our main result is that this difference is bounded by $\mathcal{A}\delta $ , where $\mathcal{A} $ is a positive constant independent of the number of samples. This indicates that the curse of dimension, which badly affects the optimal errors, does not extend to sensitivity.     

Decay of the L∞-norm of solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains

We show that for nn? 4 the L_∞-norm of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations on ?ⁿ with generalized energy inequality decays like $\parallel u(t, \cdot )\parallel _\infty = O(t^{ - ({{n + 1)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{n + 1)} 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} ),if(1 + | \cdot |)|u(0, \cdot )| \in L_1 $ and $$\int_{\mathbb{R}^n } {u(0,x)} dx = 0$$ . The same holds for strong solutions in all dimensions, if additionally u(0, ·) ε L_p p >n.     

Remark on the central limit theorem for ergodic chains

We obtain sufficient conditions that should be imposed on a functionf in order that, for ergodic Markov chains, the sum $$\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }} \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{n - 1} { f(X_k )} $$ be asymptotically normal.

On some functional inequalities related to the logarithmic mean

We deal with some functional inequalities which are motivated by the following relation between the geometric mean G, the logarithmic mean L and the arithmetic mean A: $$ G^{\frac{2} {3}} \cdot A^{\frac{1} {3}} \leqq L \leqq \frac{2} {3}G + \frac{1} {3}A. $$      

Uniqueness of integrable solutions to {\nabla \zeta=G \zeta, \zeta|_\Gamma = 0} for integrable tensor coefficients G and applications to elasticity

Let ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}}$ be a Lipschitz domain and Γ be a relatively open and non-empty subset of its boundary ${\partial\Omega}$ . We show that the solution to the linear first-order system $$\nabla \zeta = G\zeta, \, \, \zeta|_\Gamma = 0 \quad \quad \quad (1)$$ is unique if ${G \in \textsf{L}^{1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{(N \times N) \times N})}$ and ${\zeta \in \textsf{W}^{1,1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{N})}$ . As a consequence, we prove $$||| \cdot ||| : \textsf{C}_{o}^{\infty}(\Omega, \Gamma; \mathbb{R}^{3}) \rightarrow [0, \infty), \, \, u \mapsto \parallel {\rm sym}(\nabla uP^{-1})\parallel_{\textsf{L}^{2}(\Omega)}$$ to be a norm for ${P \in \textsf{L}^{\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ with Curl ${P \in \textsf{L}^{p}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ , Curl ${P^{-1} \in \textsf{L}^{q}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ for some p, q > 1 with 1/p + 1/q = 1 as well as det ${P \geq c^+ > 0}$ . We also give a new and different proof for the so-called ‘infinitesimal rigid displacement lemma’ in curvilinear coordinates: Let ${\Phi \in \textsf{H}^{1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3})}$ satisfy sym ${(\nabla\Phi^\top\nabla\Psi) = 0}$ for some ${\Psi \in \textsf{W}^{1,\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3}) \cap \textsf{H}^{2}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3})}$ with det ${\nabla\Psi \geq c^+ > 0}$ . Then, there exist a constant translation vector ${a \in \mathbb{R}^{3}}$ and a constant skew-symmetric matrix ${A \in \mathfrak{so}(3)}$ , such that ${\Phi = A\Psi + a}$ .     

Strong approximation of Riesz means at critical index on Hp(T) (0<p≤1)

This paper is a continuation of [3]. Suppose f∈H^p(T), 0σ _r ^σ f,σ=1/p?1. When p=1, it is just the partial Fourier sums S_kf. In this paper we establish the sharp estimations on the degree of approximation: $$\left\{ { - \frac{1}{{logR}}\int\limits_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta f - f} \right\|_{H^p (T)}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqq C{\mathbf{ }}{}_p\omega \left( {f,{\mathbf{ }}( - \frac{1}{{logR}})^{1/p} } \right)_{H^p (T)} ,0< p< 1,$$ and \(\frac{1}{{\log L}}\sum\limits_{k - 1}^L {\frac{{\left\| {S_k f - f} \right\|_H 1_{(T)} }}{k} \leqq Cp\omega (f; - \frac{1}{{\log L}})_H 1_{(T)} } \) Where $$\omega (f,{\mathbf{ }}h)_{H^p (T)} \begin{array}{*{20}c} { = Sup} \\ {0 \leqq \left| u \right| \leqq h} \\ \end{array} \left\| {f( \cdot + u) - f( \cdot )} \right\|_{H^p (T).} $$ .     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal control of quasilinear partial differential systems

First-order necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the following quasilinear distributed-parameter optimal control problem: $$max\left\{ {J(u) = \int_\Omega {F(x,u,t) d\omega + } \int_{\partial \Omega } {G(x,t) \cdot d\sigma } } \right\},$$ subject to the partial differential equation $$A(t)x = f(x,u,t),$$ wheret,u,G are vectors andx,F are scalars. Use is made of then-dimensional Green's theorem and the adjoint problem of the equation. The second integral in the objective function is a generalized surface integral. Use of then-dimensional Green's theorem allows simple generalization of single-parameter methods. Sufficiency is proved under a concavity assumption for the maximized Hamiltonian $$H^\circ (x,\lambda ,t) = \max \{ H(x,u,\lambda ,t):u\varepsilon K\} $$ .
