On wavelet decomposition of Hermite type splines

We consider wavelet decompositions of spaces of Hermite type splines of class C¹(α, β) that are defined by a 4-component vector-valued function ϕ(t) ∈ C¹ (α, β) by means of a grid X (not necessarily uniform) on (α, β) ∈ ℝ¹ (the special case ϕ(t)^def = (1, t, t²,t³)^T corresponds to cubic Hermite splines). The basis wavelets obtained are compactly supported. The decomposition and reconstruction formulas are given.

Uniform boundedness of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>, 1) means of Jacobi expansions in weighted sup norms. I (The main theorems and ideas)

Lubinsky and Totik’s decomposition [11] of the Cesàro operators σ _n ^(α,β) of Jacobi expansions is modified to prove uniform boundedness in weighted sup norms, i.e., ‖w ^(a,b) σ _n ^(α,β) ‖_∞ ≦ C‖w ^(a,b) f‖_∞, whenever α,β ≧ −1/2 and a, b are within the square around (α/2 + 1/4, α/2 + 1/4) having a side length of 1. This approach uses only classical results from the theory of orthogonal polynomials and various estimates for the Jacobi weights. The present paper is concerned with the main theorems and ideas, while a second paper [7] provides some necessary estimations.      

On the multiplicity of the eigenvalues of a graph

Given a graph G with characteristic polynomial ϕ(t), we consider the ML-decomposition ϕ(t) = q ₁(t)q ₂(t)² ... q _m (t)^m, where each q _i (t) is an integral polynomial and the roots of ϕ(t) with multiplicity j are exactly the roots of q _j (t). We give an algorithm to construct the polynomials q _i (t) and describe some relations of their coefficients with other combinatorial invariants of G. In particular, we get new bounds for the energy E(G) = |λ_i| of G, where λ₁, λ₂, ..., λ_n are the eigenvalues of G (with multiplicity). Most of the results are proved for the more general situation of a Hermitian matrix whose characteristic polynomial has integral coefficients. This work was done during a visit of the second named author to UNAM.     

Convolution properties of some classes of analytic functions

Let A denote the class of functions which are analytic in |z|<1 and normalized so that f(0)=0 and f′(0)=1, and let R(α, β)⊂A be the class of functions f such thatRe[f′(z)+αzf″(z)]>β,Re α>0, β<1. We determine conditions under which (i) f ∈ R(α₁, β₁), g ∈ R(α₂, β₂) implies that the convolution f×g of f and g is convex; (ii) f ∈ R(0, β₁), g ∈ R(0, β₂) implies that f×g is starlike; (iii) f≠A such that f′(z)[f(z)/z]^μ-1 ≺ 1 + λz, μ>0, 0<λ<1, is starlike, and (iv) f≠A such that f′(z)+αzf″(z) ≺ 1 + λz, α>0, δ>0, is convex or starlike.

On Lp-convergence of Grunwald interpolation

In this paper, the L_p-convergence of Grünwald interpolation G_n(f,x) based on the zeros of Jacobi polynomials J _n ^(α,β) (x)(−1<α,β<1) is considered. L_p-convergence (0<p<2) of Grünwald interpolation G_n(f,x) is proved for p·Max(α,β)<1. Moreover, L_p-convergence (p>0) of G_n(f,x) is obtained for −1<α,β≤0. Therefore, the results of [1] and [3–5] are improved.     

Localized Polynomial Frames on the Interval with Jacobi Weights

As is well known the kernel of the orthogonal projector onto the polynomials of degree n in L²(w_α,β, [−1, 1]), w_α,β(t) = (1 − t)^α(1 + t)^β, can be written in terms of Jacobi polynomials. It is shown that if the coefficients in this kernel are smoothed out by sampling a compactly supported C^∞ function then the resulting function has nearly exponential (faster than any polynomial) rate of decay away from the main diagonal. This result is used for the construction of tight polynomial frames for L²(w_α,β) with elements having almost exponential localization.     

Two point problems and analyticity of solutions of abstract parabolic equations

Fort ∈ [a, b], letA(t) be the unbounded operator inH ^0,p (G) associated with an elliptic-boundary value problem that satisfies Agmon’s conditions on the rays λ=±iτ, τ ≥0. Existence and uniqueness results are obtained for weak and strict solutions of two-point problems of the type (du/dt)−A(t) u(t) =f(t),E ₁(α)u (α)=u _α,E ₂ (β)u (β)=u _β. Here [α, β) χ- [a, b],E ₁ (α) andE ₂ (β) are spectral projections associated withA(α) andA(β) respectively, andA(α)E ₁ (α) and =A (β)E ₂ (β) are infinitesimal generators of analytic semigroups. WhenA(t) andf(t) are analytic in a convex, complex neighborhoodO of [a, b] we show that for someθ _i ,i=1,2, any solution ofdu/dt =A(t)u (t)=f(t) in [a, b] is analytic and satisfies the above equation in the setO∩{t; t ≠ a, t ≠ b, | arg (t −a) | <θ ₁, | arg (b −t) |θ ₂}.

Euler operator and homogeneous hida distributions

Let (S)⊄L ²(S′(∔),μ)⊄(S)^* be the Gel'fand triple over the white noise space (S′(∔),μ). Let (e _n ,n>-0) be the ONB ofL ²(∔) consisting of the eigenfunctions of the s.a. operator . In this paper the Euler operator Δ _E is defined as the sum , where ∂ _i stands for the differential operatorD _{e i}. It is shown that Δ _E is the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup (T _t ), where (T _t ϕ)(x)=ϕ(e ^t x) for ϕ∈(S). Similarly to the finite dimensional case, the λ-order homogeneous test functionals are characterized by the Euler equation: Δ _Eϕ =λ_ϕ. Via this characterization the λ-order homogeneous Hida distributions are defined and their properties are worked out. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

On convergence of a generalized Pál interpolation process

Let f∈C _[−1,1] ^″ (r≥1) and R_n(f,α,β,x) be the generalized Pál interpolation polynomials satisfying the conditions R_n(f,α,β,x_k)=f(x_k),R_n ^′(f,α,β,x_k)=f′(x_k)(k=1,2,…,n), where {x_k} are the roots of n-th Jacobi polynomial P_n(α,β,x),α,β>−1 and {x _k ^″ } are the roots of (1−x²)P_n″(α,β,x). In this paper, we prove that holds uniformly on [0,1]. In Memory of Professor M. T. Cheng Supported by the Science Foundation of CSBTB and the Natural Science Foundatioin of Zhejiang.     

Linear functional differential equations of neutral type asymptotically autonomous

Summary It is studied the relationship between the solutions of the linear functional differential equations(1) (d/dx) D(x_t)=L(x_t) and its perturbed equation(2) [(d/dx) D(x_t)−G(t, x_t)]= =L(x_t)+F(t, x_t) and is proved, under certain hypotheses which will be precised bellow that, if μ is a simple characteristic root of(1), then there exist a σ > 0 and a non zero vector a such that system(2) has a solution satisfying where δ(t)=αd{F(t, ϕ_μ)+μG(t, ϕ_μ)+F(t, X₀G(t, ϕ_μ))}, ϕ_μ(θ)=c·exp (μθ), −r⩾θ⩾0 and α, d, X₀ are given constants.

A two-parameter boundary problem for second order differential system

Summary This paper is concerned with second order differential systems involving two parameters with boundary conditions specified at three points. In particular, we consider the system y' = k(x, λ, μ)z, z' = -g(x, λ, μ)y, where k and g are real-valued junctions defined on X: a ≤ x ≤ c, L: L₁ < λ < L₂, and M: M₁ < μ < M₂. This system is studied together with the boundary conditions α(λ, μ)y(a) - β(λ, μ)z(a)=0, γ(λ, μ)y(b) - δ(λ, μ)z(b)=0, ε₁(μ)y(b) - φ₁(μ)z(b)=ε₂(μ)y(c) - φ₂(μ)z(c), where α, β, δ, γ, ε_i, φ_i, i=1, 2, are continuous functions of the parameters. This work establishes the existence of eigenvalue pairs for the boundary problem and the oscillatory behavior of the associated solutions. These results complement those previously obtained by the authors and B. D. Sleeman, where boundary conditions of the ? Sturm-Liouville ? type were studied. Entrata in Redazione il 5 dicembre 1977.

The maximal (C,α,β) operator on Hp(T×T)

The two-dimensional classical Hardy space H_p(T×T) on the bidisc are introduced, and it is shown that the maximal operator of the (C,α,β) means of a distribution is bounded from the space H_p(T×T) to L_p(T²) (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p≤∞), and is of weak type (H ₁ ^# (T×T), L₁(T²)), where the Hardy space H ₁ ^# (T×T) is defined by the hybrid maximal function. As a consequence we obtain that the (C, α, β) means of a function f∈H ₁ ^# (T×T)⊃LlogL(T ²) convergs a. e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the (C, α, β) means are uniformly bounded on the spaces H_p(T×T) whenever 1/(α+1), 1(β+1)<p<∞. Thus, in case f∈H_p(T×T), the (C, α, β) means convergs to f in H_p(T×T) norm whenever (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p<∞). The same results are proved for the conjugate (C, α, β) means, too.

Problem with periodicity conditions for a degenerating equation of mixed type

For the equation K(t)u _xx + u _tt − b ² K(t)u = 0 in the rectangular domain D = “(x, t)‖ 0 < x < 1, −α < t < β”, where K(t) = (sgnt)|t| ^m , m > 0, and b > 0, α > 0, and β > 0 are given real numbers, we use the spectral method to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the boundary value problem u(0, t) = u(1, t), u _x (0, t) = u _x (1, t), −α ≤ t ≤ β, u(x, β) = φ(x), u(x,−α) = ψ(x), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.

Anisotropic young diagrams and jack symmetric functions

We study the Young lattice with the edge multiplicitiesϰ _α (λ, ⋏) arising in the simplest Pieri formula for Jack symmetric polynomialsP _λ (x; α) with parameter α.

Instances of the Conjecture of Chang

We consider various forms of the Conjecture of Chang. Part A constitutes an introduction. Donder and Koepke have shown that if ρ is a cardinal such that ρ ≧ ω₁, and (ρ⁺⁺,ρ⁺↠(ρ⁺, ρ), then 0⁺ exists. We obtain the same conclusion in Part B starting from some other forms of the transfer hypothesis. As typical corollaries, we get: Theorem A.Assume that there exists cardinals λ, κ, such that λ ≧ K ⁺ ≧ω₂ and (λ⁺, λ)↠(K ⁺,K. Then 0⁺ exists. Theorem B.Assume that there exists a singularcardinal κ such that(K ⁺,K↠(ω₁, ω₀. Then 0⁺ exists. Theorem C.Assume that (λ ⁺⁺, λ). Then 0⁺ exists (also ifK=ω ₀. Remark. Here, as in the paper of Donder and Koepke, “O⁺ exists” is a matter of saying that the hypothesis is strictly stronger than “L(μ) exists”. Of course, the same proof could give a few more sharps overL(μ), but the interest is in expecting more cardinals, coming from a larger core model. Theorem D.Assume that (λ ⁺⁺, λ)↠(K ⁺, K) and thatK≧ω ₁. Then 0⁺ exists. Remark 2. Theorem B is, as is well-known, false if the hypothesis “κ is singular” is removed, even if we assume thatK≧ω ₂, or that κ is inaccessible. We shall recall this in due place. Comments. Theorem B and Remark 2 suggest we seek the consistency of the hypothesis of the form:K ⁺, K↠(ω_n +1, ω_n), for κ singular andn≧0. 0266 0152 V 3 The consistency of several statements of this sort—a prototype of which is (N _ω+1,N _ω)↠(ω₁, ω₀) —have been established, starting with an hypothesis slightly stronger than: “there exists a huge cardinal”, but much weaker than: “there exists a 2-huge cardinal”. These results will be published in a joint paper by M. Magidor, S. Shelah, and the author of the present paper.     

The Hausdorff Centred measure of the symmetry Cantor sets

Let 0＜λ≤1/3,K (λ) be the attractor of an iterated function system { ψ1,ψ2 } on the line, where ψ1 (x ) =λx, ψ2(x)=1-λ+λx, x∈ [0,1]. We call K (λ) the symmetry Cantor sets. In this paper, we obtained the exact Hausdorff Centred measure of K (λ).     

Discrete spectrum in the gaps of a perturbed pseudorelativistic hamiltonian

The pseudorelativistic Hamiltonian is considered under wide conditions on potentials A(x), W(x). It is assumed that a real point λ is regular for G_1/2. Let G_1/2(α)=G_1/2−αV, where α>0, V(x)≥0, and V ∈L _d(ℝ^d). Denote by N(λ, α) the number of eigenvalues of G_1/2(t) that cross the point λ as t increases from 0 to α. A Weyl-type asymptotics is obtained for N(λ, α) as α→∞. Bibliography: 5 titles. To O. A. Ladyzhenskaya Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 249, 1997. pp. 102–117. Translated by A.
