Compact elements in the lattice of radicals

Summary A radical R, in the sense of Kurosh--Amitsur, is said to be compact if, given any collection of radicals X such that R ≤;VX, we have R ≤;VX' for some finite subcollection X' of X. A ring A is said to be radical compact if the lower radical on the singleton {A} is compact. This paper explores the relationship between radical compact rings and rings satisfying certain finiteness conditions. Closure properties of the class of all radical compact rings are also investigated.     

Characterization of regular singular linear systems of difference equations

This paper deals with linear systems of difference equations whose coefficients admit generalized factorial series representations atz=. We are concerned with the behavior of solutions near the pointz= (the only fixed singularity for difference equations). It is important to know whether a system of linear difference equations has a regular singularity or an irregular singularity. To a given system () we can assign a number , called the Moser's invariant of (), so that the system is regular singular if and only if 1. We shall develop an algorithm, implementable in a computer algebra system, which reduces in a finite number of steps the system of difference equations to an irreducible form. The computation ot the number can be done explicitly from this irreducible form.     

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 =

Some remarks on the modulus of continuity of a conformal mapping of the disk onto a Jordan domain

Einschließungsaussagen für gewöhnliche Differentialoperatoren

Summary For differential operatorsM of second order (as defined in (1.1)) we describe a method to prove Range-Domain implications—Mu–u and an algorithm to construct these functions , , , . This method has been especially developed for application to non-inverse-positive differential operators. For example, for non-negativea ₂ and for given functions = we require =C ₀[0, 1] C ₂([0, 1]–T) whereT is some finite set), (M) (t)(t), (t[0, 1]–T) and certain additional conditions for eachtT. Such Range-Domain implications can be used to obtain a numerical error estimation for the solution of a boundary value problemMu=r; further, we use them to guarantee the existence of a solution of nonlinear boundary value problems between the bounds- and .

It is proved that under the standard transformation of a Gentzen derivation into a natural derivation(), the length of (())2^2·length( ).

On semiregular conditional distributions

Let (,A,P) denote some probability space and some sub--algebra ofA. It is shown that there exists a semiregular versionQ (A),A, , of the conditional distributionP(A|), AA, i.e., Q (A), (AA fixed) is andAQ (A),AA ( fixed), is a probability charge satisfyingQ (N)=0, , for allP-zero setsN, if and only ifL ₁(,P|) has a lifting, which exists for any sub--algebra ofA ifL ₁(,A P) is separable. Separability ofL ₁(,A,P) implies also the existence of a strongly semiregular versionQ (A),A, , ofP(A|), A , i.e., Q (A), (AA fixed), is -measurable andAQ (A),A ( fixed), is a probability charge. Furthermore,P can be written as P ₁+(1–)P ₂, 01, whereP ₁ are probability measures onA such thatP ₁(A|),AA, has a semiregular version vanishing for anyP-zero setN andP ₂ is singular with respect to any probability measure onA of the type ofP ₁. In the case 0<<1 the probability measuresP _j ,j=1, 2, are uniquely determined. The decomposition can be carried over to the case, where the additional condition thatQ (N)=0 for all and anyP-zero setN is valid, is omitted respectively semiregularity is replaced by (i) strong semiregularity, or (ii) classical regularity. In the last mentioned case (ii) the decomposition is multiplicative.     

Extremes of a Gaussian Process and the Constant H α

Consider a triangular array of standard Gaussian random variables {_n,i, i 0, n 1} such that {_n,i, i 0} is a stationary normal sequence for each n 1. Let _n,k = corr(_n,i,_n,i+k). If (1-_n,k)log n _k (0,) as n for some k, then the locations where the extreme values occur cluster and the limiting distribution of the maxima is still the Gumbel distribution as in the stationary or i.i.d. case, but shifted by a parameter measuring the clustering. Triangular arrays of Gaussian sequences are used to approximate a continuous Gaussian process X(t), t 0. The cluster behavior of the random sequence refers to the behavior of the extremes values of the continuous process. The relation is analyzed. It reveals a new definition of the constants H used for the limiting distribution of maxima of continuous Gaussian processes and provides further understanding of the limit result for these extremes.     

Left linear theories — A generalization of module theory

In this paper we introduce left linear theories of exponentN (a set) on the setL as mapsL ×L ^N (l, ) l · L such that for alll L and , L ^N the relation (l · ) =l( · ) holds, where · L ^N is given by ( · )(i) = (i),i N. We assume thatL has a unit, that is an element L ^N withl · =l, for alll L, and · = , for all L ^N . Next, left (resp. right)L-modules andL-M-bimodules and their homomorphisms are defined and lead to categoriesL-Mod, Mod-L, andL-M-Mod. These categories are algebraic categories and their free objects are described explicitly. Finally, Hom(X, Y) andX Y are introduced and their properties are investigated.Herrn Professor Dr. D.

The central limit theorem for Chébli-Trimèche hypergroups

Let (S _nn>-1) be a random walk on a hypergroup ( ₊ , *), i.e., a Markov chain with transition kernelN(x, A) = _x * (A), where is a fixed probability measure on ₊ such that the second moment exists. Then depending on the growth of the hypergroup two situations can occur: when ( ₊ , *) is of exponential growth then it is shown thatS _n is asymptotically normal. In the case of polynomial growth {more precisely, if the densityA of the Haar measure of ( ₊ , *) satisfies lim[A()/A()]=}, the normalized variablesS _n/[n Var()/(+1)]^1/2 converge to a Rayleigh distribution with parameter .     

The Discrete Spectrum Asymptotics with Respect to a Large Coupling Constant under Strong Nonnegative Perturbations

Let A be a self-adjoint operator, let (, ) be an inner gap in the spectrum of the operator A, and let B(t) = A + tW ^* W, where the operator W(A – iI)^-1 is not necessarily bounded. Conditions are obtained under which the spectrum of B(t) in (, ) is discrete. Let N(, A, W, ), (, ), > 0, be the number of eigenvalues of the operator B(t) passing the point (, ) as t increases from 0 to . The asymptotics of N(, A, W, ) as + is obtained in terms of the spectral asymptotics of a certain self-adjoint compact operator. Bibliography: 5 titles.     

On a Test Statistic for Linear Trend

Let {W(s)} _s 0 be a standard Wiener process. The supremum of the squared Euclidian norm Y (t)², of the R²-valued process Y(t)=(1/t W(t), {12/t ³ int_{0 t} s dW (s)– {3/t} W(t)), t [, 1], is the asymptotic, large sample distribution, of a test statistic for a change point detection problem, of appearance of linear trend. We determine the asymptotic behavior P {sup _t [, 1] Y(t)² > u as u , of this statistic, for a fixed (0,1), and for a moving = (u) 0 at a suitable rate as u . The statistical interest of our results lie in their use as approximate test levels.     

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.
