Perturbation analysis for the positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation X-\sum_{i=1}^{m} A_{i}^{*}X^{-1}A_{i}=Q

Consider the perturbation analysis for positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation $X-\sum_{i=1}^{m}A_{i}^{*}X^{-1}A_{i}=Q$ which arises in an optimal interpolation problem. Two perturbation bounds for the unique positive definite solution are obtained, and an explicit expression of the condition number for the unique positive definite solution is derived. The theoretical results are illustrated by several numerical examples.     

Linearity and Second Fundamental Forms for Proper Holomorphic Maps from \mathbb{B}^{n+1} to \mathbb{B}^{4n-3}

For a holomorphic proper map F from the ball $\mathbb{B}^{n+1}$ into $\mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ that is C ³ smooth up to the boundary, the image $M=F(\partial\mathbb{B}^{n})$ is an immersed CR submanifold in the sphere $\partial \mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ on which some second fundamental forms II _M and $\mathit{II}^{CR}_{M}$ can be defined. It is shown that when 4??n+1<N+1??4n?3, F is linear fractional if and only if $\mathit{II}_{M} - \mathit{II}_{M}^{CR} \equiv 0$ .     

Ramanujan summation and the exponential generating function \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{z^{k}}{k!}\zeta^{\prime}(-k)

In the sixth chapter of his notebooks, Ramanujan introduced a method of summing divergent series which assigns to the series the value of the associated Euler-MacLaurin constant that arises by applying the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula to the partial sums of the series. This method is now called the Ramanujan summation process. In this paper we calculate the Ramanujan sum of the exponential generating functions ∑ _n≥1log?n e ^nz and $\sum_{n\geq 1}H_{n}^{(j)}~e^{-nz}$ where $H_{n}^{(j)}=\sum_{m=1}^{n}\frac{1}{m^{j}}$ . We find a surprising relation between the two sums when j=1 from which follows a formula that connects the derivatives of the Riemann zeta-function at the negative integers to the Ramanujan sum of the divergent Euler sums ∑ _n≥1 n ^k H _n , k ≥ 0, where $H_{n}=H_{n}^{(1)}$ . Further, we express our results on the Ramanujan summation in terms of the classical summation process called the Borel sum.

Uniqueness of \mathbb{C}^{ * } - and \mathbb{C}_{{\text{ + }}} -actions on Gizatullin Surfaces

A Gizatullin surface is a normal affine surface V over $ \mathbb{C} $ , which can be completed by a zigzag; that is, by a linear chain of smooth rational curves. In this paper we deal with the question of uniqueness of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions and $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations on such a surface V up to automorphisms. The latter fibrations are in one to one correspondence with $ \mathbb{C}_{{\text{ + }}} $ -actions on V considered up to a “speed change”. Non-Gizatullin surfaces are known to admit at most one $ \mathbb{A}^{1} $ -fibration V → S up to an isomorphism of the base S. Moreover, an effective $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -action on them, if it does exist, is unique up to conjugation and inversion t $ \mapsto $ t ^?1 of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ . Obviously, uniqueness of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions fails for affine toric surfaces. There is a further interesting family of nontoric Gizatullin surfaces, called the Danilov-Gizatullin surfaces, where there are in general several conjugacy classes of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions and $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations, see, e.g., [FKZ1]. In the present paper we obtain a criterion as to when $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations of Gizatullin surfaces are conjugate up to an automorphism of V and the base $ S \cong \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ . We exhibit as well large subclasses of Gizatullin $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -surfaces for which a $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -action is essentially unique and for which there are at most two conjugacy classes of $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations over $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ .     

On the recursive sequencex_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_{n - 1}^p }}{{x_n^p }}

The boundedness, global attractivity, oscillatory and asymptotic periodicity of the positive solutions of the difference equation of the form $$x_{n + 1} = \alpha + \frac{{x_{n - 1}^p }}{{x_n^p }}, n = 0,1,...$$ is investigated, where all the coefficients are nonnegative real numbers.

Hyperbolic Laplace Operator and the Weinstein Equation in {\mathbb{R}^3}

We study the Weinstein equation $$\Delta u - \frac{k}{{x}_{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial{x}_{2}} + \frac{l}{x^{2}_{2}}u = 0$$ , on the upper half space ${\mathbb{R}^3_{+} = \{ (x_{0}, x_{1}, x_{2}) \in \mathbb{R}^{3} | x_2 > 0\}}$ in case ${4l \leq (k + 1)^{2}}$ . If l =  0 then the operator ${x^{2k}_{2} (\Delta - \frac{k}{x_{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial{x}_{2}})}$ is the Laplace- Beltrami operator of the Riemannian metric ${ds^2 = x^{-2k}_{2} (\sum^{2}_{i = 0} dx^{2}_{i})}$ . The general case ${\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}}$ has been studied earlier by the authors, but the results are improved in case ${\mathbb{R}^3_{+}}$ . If k =  1 then the Riemannian metric is the hyperbolic distance of Poincaré upper half-space. The Weinstein equation is connected to the axially symmetric potentials. We compute solutions of the Weinstein equation depending only on the hyperbolic distance and x ₂. The solutions of the Weinstein equation form a socalled Brelot harmonic space and therefore it is known that they satisfy the mean value properties with respect to the harmonic measure. However, without using the theory of Brelot harmonic spaces, we present the explicit mean value properties which give a formula for a harmonic measure evaluated in the center point of the hyperbolic ball. Earlier these results were proved only for k =  1 and l =  0 or k =  1 and l =  1. We also compute the fundamental solutions. The main tools are the hyperbolic metric and its invariance properties. In the consecutive papers, these results are applied to find explicit kernels for k-hypermonogenic functions that are higher dimensional generalizations of complex holomorphic functions.     

Asymptotic behavior of multiperiodic functionsG(x) = \prod\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {g(x/2^n )}

Let 0≤g be a dyadic Hölder continuous function with period 1 and g(0)=1, and let $G(x) = \prod\nolimits_{n = 0}^\infty {g(x/{\text{2}}^n )} $ . In this article we investigate the asymptotic behavior of $\smallint _0^{\rm T} \left| {G(x)} \right|^q dx$ and $\frac{1}{n}\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^n {\log g(2^k x)} $ using the dynamical system techniques: the pressure function and the variational principle. An algorithm to calculate the pressure is presented. The results are applied to study the regulatiry of wavelets and Bernoulli convolutions.
