Pointwise estimates for Lagrange interpolation polynomials

Let f ∈ C[?1, 1]. Let the approximation rate of Lagrange interpolation polynomial of f based on the nodes $ \left\{ {\cos \frac{{2k - 1}} {{2n}}\pi } \right\} \cup \{ - 1,1\} $ be Δ _{n + 2}(f, x). In this paper we study the estimate of Δ _{n + 2}(f,x), that keeps the interpolation property. As a result we prove that $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\ln (n + 1) + \omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|} \right)} \right\}, $$ where T _n (x) = cos (n arccos x) is the Chebeyshev polynomial of first kind. Also, if f ∈ C ^r [?1, 1] with r ≧ 1, then $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {{n^r }}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\omega \left( {f^{(r)} ,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left( {\left( {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } + \frac{1} {n}} \right)^{r - 1} \ln (n + 1) + 1} \right)} \right\}. $$      

On the order of the error function of the square-full integers

LetL(x) denote the number of square full integers ≤x. By a square-full integer, we mean a positive integer all of whose prime factors have multiplicity at least two. It is well known that $$\left. {L(x)} \right| \sim \frac{{\zeta ({3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2})}}{{\zeta (3)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + \frac{{\zeta ({2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3})}}{{\zeta (2)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} ,$$ where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann Zeta function. Let Δ(x) denote the error function in the asymptotic formula forL(x). On the basis of the Riemann hypothesis (R.H.), it is known that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{\tfrac{{13}}{{81}} + \varepsilon } )\) for every ε>0. In this paper, we prove the following results on the assumption of R.H.: (1) $$\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_1^x {\Delta (t)dt} = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } ),$$ (2) $$\int\limits_1^x {\frac{{\Delta (t)}}{t}\log } ^{v - 1} \left( {\frac{x}{t}} \right) = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } )$$ for any integer ν≥1. In fact, we prove some general results and deduce the above from them. On the basis of (1) and (2) above, we conjecture that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {12}}} \right. \kern-0em} {12}} + \varepsilon } )\) under the assumption of R.H.     

A generalized Cole-Hopf transformation for a two-dimensional burgers equation with a variable coefficient

The direct method is applied to the two dimensional Burgers equation with a variable coefficient (u _t + uu _x ? u _xx ) _x + s(t)u _yy = 0 is transformed into the Riccati equation $H' - \tfrac{1} {2}H^2 + \left( {\tfrac{\rho } {2} - 1} \right)H = 0$ via the ansatz $u\left( {x,y,t} \right) = \tfrac{1} {{\sqrt t }}H(\rho ) + \tfrac{y} {{2\sqrt t }}\rho \left( {x,y,t} \right) = \tfrac{x} {{\sqrt t }} - y$ , provided that s(t) = t ^?3/2. Further, a generalized Cole-Hopf transformations $u\left( {x,y,t} \right) = \tfrac{y} {{2\sqrt t }} - \tfrac{2} {{\sqrt t }}\tfrac{{U_\rho (\rho ,r)}} {{U(\rho ,r)}}$ , $\rho \left( {x,y,t} \right) = \tfrac{x} {{\sqrt t }} - y$ , r(t) = log t is derived to linearize (u _t + uu _x ? u _xx ) _x + t ^?3/2 u _yy to the parabolic equation $U_r = U_{\rho \rho } + \left( {\tfrac{\rho } {2} - 1} \right)U_\rho$ .     

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 $$\left| {\omega (n,k)} \right| < \frac{4}{{(2k - 1)\sqrt {ln(2k - 1)} }} + \sqrt {12\pi } \cdot \frac{{k^{\tfrac{3}{2}} }}{{n - 1}}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{n - 1}}} \right)^{2k - 2} .$$ .     

On the best constants in the Khintchine inequality for Steinhaus variables

Let S _j : (Ω, P) → S ¹ ? ? be an i.i.d. sequence of Steinhaus random variables, i.e. variables which are uniformly distributed on the circle S ¹. We determine the best constants a _p in the Khintchine-type inequality $${a_p}{\left\| x \right\|_2} \leqslant {\left( {{\text{E}}{{\left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|}^p}} \right)^{1/p}} \leqslant {\left\| x \right\|_2};{\text{ }}x = ({x_j})_{j = 1}^n \in {{\Bbb C}^n}$$ for 0 < p < 1, verifying a conjecture of U. Haagerup that $${a_p} = \min \left( {\Gamma {{\left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)}^{1/p}},\sqrt 2 {{\left( {{{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right)}^{1/p}}} \right)$$ . Both expressions are equal for p = p ₀ }~ 0.4756. For p ≥ 1 the best constants a _p have been known for some time. The result implies for a norm 1 sequence x ∈ ? ⁿ , ‖x‖₂ = 1, that $${\text{E}}\ln \left| {\frac{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right| \leqslant {\text{E}}\ln \left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|$$ , answering a question of A. Baernstein and R. Culverhouse.     

Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp forms of genus n

Let F(Z) be a cusp form of integral weight k relative to the Siegel modular group Sp_n(Z) and let f(N) be its Fourier coefficient with index N. Making use of Rankin's convolution, one proves the estimate (1) $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2} - \tfrac{1}{2}\delta (n)} ),$$ where $$\delta (n) = \frac{{n + 1}}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)\left( {2n + \tfrac{{1 + ( - 1)^n }}{2}} \right) + 1}}.$$ Previously, for n ≥ 2 one has known Raghavan's estimate $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2}} )$$ In the case n=2, Kitaoka has obtained a result, sharper than (1), namely: (2) $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2} - \tfrac{1}{4} + \varepsilon } ).$$ At the end of the paper one investigates specially the case n=2. It is shown that in some cases the result (2) can be improved to, apparently, unimprovable estimates if one assumes some analogues of the Petersson conjecture. These results lead to a conjecture regarding the optimal estimates of f(N), n=2.     

Convergence of Riemann sums for functions which can be represented by trigonometric series with coefficients forming a monotonic sequence

The following theorem is proved. If $$f(x) = \frac{{\alpha _0 }}{2} + \sum\nolimits_k^\infty \alpha _k \cos 2\pi kx + b_k \sin 2\pi kx,$$ wherea _k ↓ 0 and b_k ↓ 0, then $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{1}{n}\sum\nolimits_{s = 0}^{n - 1} {f\left( {x + \frac{s}{n}} \right) = \frac{{\alpha _0 }}{2}} $$ on (0, 1) in the sense of convergence in measure. If in additionf(x) ε L² (0, 1), then this relation holds for almost all x.     

On the modulus of continuity in connection with a problem of J. Szabados concerning strong approximation

Пустьf(x) — интегрируемая 2π-периодическая функция, aω(f,δ) иs _n(x)=s_n(f, x). соответственно, модуль непрерывности иn-ая сумма Фурье этой функции. В настоящей работе, продолжающей исследования Г. Фрейда, Л. Лейндлера—E. M. Никищина, И. Сабадоша и К. И. Осколкова, доказывается следующая теорема.Если Ω(u) — выпуклая или вогнутая непрерывная функция и если (1) 1 $$\left\| {\left. {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty \Omega (|S_k (x) - f(x)|)} \right\|_C } \right.$$ то 1 $$\omega (f;\delta ) = O\left( {\delta \int\limits_\delta ^1 {\frac{{\bar \Omega (v)}}{{v^2 }}dv} } \right),$$ где ¯Ω(v) —функция, обратная к Ω(и). При этом существует функция f₀(х), удовлетворяющая условию (1), для которой $$\omega (f;\delta ) = c\delta \int\limits_\delta ^1 {\frac{{\bar \Omega (v)}}{{v^2 }}dv} (c > 0).$$ ЕслиΩ(u)— вогнутая функция, то интеграл \(\int\limits_\delta ^1 {\frac{{\bar \Omega (v)}}{{v^2 }}dv} \) можно заменить на \(\int\limits_{\bar \Omega (\delta )}^1 {\frac{{du}}{{\Omega (u)}}.} \) . Отсюда вытекает, что еслиΩ(u) — функция типа модуля непрерывности, то для того, чтобы (1) всегда влекло принадлежность f(x) классу Lip 1, необходимо и достаточно условие \(\int\limits_0^1 {\frac{{du}}{{\Omega (u)}}}< \infty .\)      

Short exponential sums with a non-integer power of a natural number

The following nontrivial estimate is obtained for short exponential sums: $$Sc\left( {\alpha ,x,y} \right) = \sum\limits_{x - y < n \leqslant x} {e\left( {\alpha \left[ {n^c } \right]} \right) < < y\ln ^A x,}$$ where $y \geqslant x^{\tfrac{1} {2}} \ln ^A x,x^{1 - c} y^{ - 1} \ln ^A x \leqslant \left| \alpha \right| \leqslant 0.5$ , c > 2 and ∥c∥ ≥ δ, A is a fixed positive number, and $\delta = \delta \left( {x,c,A} \right) = \left( {2^{\left[ c \right] + 1} - 1} \right)\left( {A + 2.5} \right) \cdot \frac{{\ln \ln x}} {{\ln x}}$ .

This paper considers to replace △_m(x)=(1-x~2)~2(1/2)/n +1/n~2 in the following result for simultaneousLagrange interpolating approximation with (1-x~2)~2(1/2)/n: Let f∈C_(-1.1)~0 and r=[(q+2)/2],then|f~(k)(x)-P_~(k)(f,x)|=O(1)△_(n)~(a-k)(x)ω(f~(a),△(x))(‖L_n-‖+‖L_n‖),0≤k≤q,where P_n( f ,x)is the Lagrange interpolating polynomial of degree n+ 2r-1 of f on the nodes X_nU Y_n(see the definition of the text), and thus give a problem raised in [XiZh] a complete answer.     

On the Non-Commutative Neutrix Product of the Distributions x＋^λ and x^＋μ

Let f and g be distributions and let gn = （g ＊ δn）（x）, where δn （x） is a certain converging to the Dirac delta function. The non-commutative neutrix product fog of f and g to be the limit of the sequence {fgn }, provided its limit h exists in the sense that sequence is defined N-lim n-∞（f（x）g,, （x）, φ（x）〉 = （h（x）, φ（x）},for all functions p in 2. It is proved that （x^λ＋1n^px＋）0（x^μ＋1n^qx＋）=x＋^λμ1n^p＋qx＋,（x^λ-1n^qx-）=x-^λ＋μ1n^p＋qx-,for λ＋μ〈-1; λ,μ, λ＋μ≠-1,-2…and p,q=0,1,2……     

On the nonclassical approximation method for periodic functions by trigonometric polynomials

We study the approximation of functions by linear polynomial means of their Fourier series with a function-multiplier φ that is equal to 1 not only at zero, in contrast with classical methods of summability. The exact order of convergence to zero of the sequence $$ \mathop{\max}\limits_{{x\in \left[ {-\pi, \pi } \right]}}\left| {f(x)-\sum\limits_{{\left| k \right|\leq n}} {\varphi \left( {\frac{{k\pi }}{n}} \right){{\hat{f}}_k}{e^{ikx }}} } \right| $$ ( $ {{\hat{f}}_k} $ Fourier coefficients) as n→∞ is obtained. The answer is given in terms of the values of difference operators of a continuous function f and a special K-functional (step of $ \frac{\pi }{n} $ ). In addition, we obtain not only the sufficient conditions for φ but the necessary ones as well.

Existence of a solution of a difference scheme for one variational problem

The problem of minimizing the functional (A) $${}_a\smallint ^b \varphi (x,y,y',y'')dx$$ under the conditions (B) $$y(a) = a_0 ,y'(a) = a_1 ,y(b) = b_0 ,y'(b) = b_1$$ is replaced by the problem of finding the vector (y₁,y₂,...,y_n?1) on which the sum (C) $$\sum\limits_{\kappa = 0}^n {C_\kappa \varphi (x_\kappa ,y_\kappa ,\left. {\frac{{y_{\kappa + 1} - y_\kappa }}{h},\frac{{y_{\kappa + 1} - 2y_\kappa + y_{\kappa + 1} )}}{{h^2 }}} \right)}$$ takes a minimal value. Under certain conditions on ? andC _k it is proved that a solution exists for the difference scheme constructed. The method of differentiation with respect to a parameter is used for the proof.
