Joint convergence of conditional expectations

Let P_n, nIN{0}, be probability measures on a-fieldA; f_n, nIN{0}, be a family of uniformly boundedA-measurable functions andA _n, nIN, be a sequence of sub--fields ofA, increasing or decreasing to the-fieldA _o. It is shown in this paper that the conditional expectations converge in P_o-measure to with k, n, m , if P_n|A, nIN, converges uniformly to P_n|A and f_n, nIN, converges in P_o-measure to f_o.     

Über eine Verallgemeinerung der Nicoletti-Aufgabe für Funktional-Differentialgleichungen mit voreilendem Argument

We consider a functional differential equation (1) (t)=F(t,) fort[0,+) together with a generalized Nicoletti condition (2)H()=. The functionF: [0,+)×C ⁰[0,+)B is given (whereB denotes the Banach space) and the value ofF (t, ) may depend on the values of (t) fort[0,+);H: C ⁰[0,+)B is a given linear operator and B. Under suitable assumptions we show that when the solution :[0,+)B satisfies a certain growth condition, then there exists exactly one solution of the problem (1), (2).     

Galerkin methods for parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions

A variety of Galerkin methods are studied for the parabolic equationu _t =(a(x) u),x ⁿ ,t (O,T], subject to the nonlinear boundary conditionu _v =g(x,t,u),x,t (O,T] and the usual initial condition. Optimal order error estimates are derived both inL ² () andH ¹ () norms for all methods treated, including several that produce linear computational procedures.The authors were partially supported by The National Science Foundation during the preparation of this paper.     

Prime and Primitive Ideals in Graded Deformations of Algebraic Quantum Groups at Roots of Unity

Let G be a connected, simply connected complex semisimple Lie group of rank n. The deformations employed by Artin, Schelter and Tate, and Hodges, Levasseur and Toro can be applied to the single parameter quantizations, at roots of unity, of the Hopf algebra of regular functions on G. Each of the resulting complex multiparameter quantum groups F _,p [G] depends on both a suitable root of unity and an antisymmetric bicharacter p: Z ⁿ ×Z ⁿ C ^×. These quantizations differ significantly from their single parameter (root-of-unity) counterparts, and, in particular, may have infinite-dimensional irreducible representations. Our approach to F _,p [G] depends on a natural ×-action thereon, where is an n-torus, and our main result offers a classification of the primitive ideals: We use a multiparameter quantum Frobenius map to provide a bijection from (PrimF _,p [G])/× onto G/H×H, where H is a maximal torus of G. In the single parameter case, this bijection is a consequence of work by De Concini and Lyubashenko, and De Concini and Procesi; our results require their analysis. Our methods also exploit earlier work by Moeglin and Rentschler concerning actions of algebraic groups on complex Noetherian algebras. In contrast to generic quantizations of the coordinate ring of G, the primitive spectrum of F _,p [G] is not finitely stratified by the torus action.     

On a Property of Subexponential Distributions

Let F be a distribution function (d.f.) on [0, ) with finite first moment m >0. We define the integrated tail distribution function F ₁ of F by F ₁(t)=m^-1 ₀ ^t (1- F(u))du, t0. In this paper, we obtain sufficient conditions under which implications FSF ₁S and F ₁S FS hold, where S is the class of subexponential distributions.     

A conditional dilatation equation

Summary The following theorem holds true. Theorem. Let X be a normed real vector space of dimension 3 and let k > 0 be a fixed real number. Suppose that f: X X and g: X × X are functions satisfying x – y = k f(x) – f(y) = g(x, y)(x – y) for all x, y X. Then there exist elements and t X such that f(x) = x + t for all x X and such that g(x, y) = for all x, y X with x – y = k.     

On the Exact Asymptotics of the Best Relative Approximations of Classes of Periodic Functions by Splines

We obtain the exact asymptotics (as n ) of the best L ₁-approximations of classes of periodic functions by splines s S _{2n, r – 1} and s S _{2n, r + k – 1} (S _{2n, r} is the set of 2-periodic polynomial splines of order r and defect 1 with nodes at the points k/n, k Z) under certain restrictions on their derivatives.     

On injective enumerability of recursively enumerable classes of cofinite sets

To date the problem of finding a general characterization of injective enumerability of recursively enumerable (r.e) classes of r.e. sets has proved intractable. This paper investigates the problem for r.e. classes of cofinite sets. We state a suitable criterion for r.e. classesC such that there is a boundn with |-A|n for allAC. On the other hand an example is constructed which shows that Lachlan's condition (F) does not imply injective enumerability for r.e. classes of cofinite sets. We also look at a certain embeddability property and show that it is equivalent with injective enumerability for certain classes of cofinite sets. At the end we present a reformulation of property (F).Thank you for technical support, Wolfgang Eppler, for intellectual support, Alistair Lachlan, and for proof-reading, Martin Kummer.

Einige Aspekte in der Zuordnungstheorie

Zusammenfassung Gegeben seien endliche MengenX, Y undZ X × Y, Z _x ={y¦(x,y) Z},Z _y ={x¦(x,y) Z}.Man nenntA X (bzw.B Y)zuordenbar, wenn es eine Injektion:A Y (bzw.: B X) mit(x) Z _x (bzw.(y) Z _y ) gibt, und (A, B) mit #A=#B > 0 einZuordnungspaar, wenn eine Bijektionf:A B mitf(x)Z _x B (bzw.f ^–1 (y) Z _y A) existiert. Die Bijektionf heißtZuordnungsplan fürA, B.In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Fragen nach der Existenz von optimal zuordenbaren Mengen und optimalen Zuordnungspaaren behandelt, wenn man auf den MengenX undY Ordnungen vorgibt, wobei auch Nebenbedingungen berücksichtigt werden. In manchen Fällen lassen sich anhand der Beweise Zuordnungspläne oder ihre Berechnungsvorschrift explizit angeben.Zum Schluß werden die Aussagen an konkreten, dem Bereich der Wirtschaftswissenschaften entnommenen Beispielen erläutert.

Summary LetX, Y be finite sets andZ X × Y, Z _x ={y¦(x,y) Z},Z _y ={x¦(x,y)Z}. A X (resp.B Y) is calledassignable if there is an injection: A Y (resp.: B X) with (x) Z _x (resp.(y) Z _y ), (A, B) with #A=#B > 0 anassigned pair if there is a bijection f:A B withf (x) Z _x B (resp.f ^–1(y) Z _y A). The bijectionf is called aplan forA andB.In this paper problems are discussed concerning the existence of optimal assignable sets and optimal assigned pairs ifX andY are totally ordered, additional constraints are also considered. In some cases the proofs give explicit constructions of plans. The results are illustrated by application to problems occurring in Operations Research.

A Result on Ext Over Kac–Moody Algebras

We prove the following result for a not necessarily symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebra: Let x,y W with x y, and let P⁺. If n=l(x)-l(y), then Ext _C() ⁿ (M(x·),L(y·))=1.
