Stationary Solutions of the Fractional Kinetic Equation with a Symmetric Power-Law Potential

The properties of stationary solutions of the one-dimensional fractional Einstein--Smoluchowski equation with a potential of the form x ^2m+2, m=1,2,..., and of the Riesz spatial fractional derivative of order , 12, are studied analytically and numerically. We show that for 1<2, the stationary distribution functions have power-law asymptotic approximations decreasing as x ^–(+2m+1) for large values of the argument. We also show that these distributions are bimodal.

Über die Häufigkeit großer Differenzen konsekutiver Primzahlen

The following theorem is going to be proved. Letp _m be them-th prime and putd _m :=p _m+1–p _m . LetN(,T), 1/21,T3. denote the number of zeros =+i of the Riemann zeta function which fulfill and ||T. Letc2 andh0 be constants such thatN(,T)T ^c(1–) (logT) ^h holds true uniformly in 1/21. Let >0 be given. Then there is some constantK>0 such that

Asymptotic stability at infinity of planar vector fields

Let >0 andX be aC ¹ vector field on the plane such that: (i) for allq², Det(DX(q))>0; and (ii) for allp², with p, Trace(D(X(p))<0. IfX has a singularity and ² Trace(DX)dxdy is less than 0 (resp. greater or equal than 0), then the point at infinity of the Riemann sphere ²{} is a repellor (resp. an attractor) ofX.     

Weak Laws with Random Indices for Arrays of Random Elements in Rademacher Type p Banach Spaces

For a sequence of constants {a _n,n1}, an array of rowwise independent and stochastically dominated random elements { V _nj, j1, n1} in a real separable Rademacher type p (1p2) Banach space, and a sequence of positive integer-valued random variables {T _n, n1}, a general weak law of large numbers of the form is established where {c _nj, j1, n1}, _n , b _n are suitable sequences. Some related results are also presented. No assumption is made concerning the existence of expected values or absolute moments of the {V _nj, j1, n1}. Illustrative examples include one wherein the strong law of large numbers fails.     

On the Embedding of an Affine Space into a Projective Space

Let k, K be fields, and assume that |k| 4 and n, m 2, or |k| = 3 and n 3, m 2. Then, for any embedding of AG(n, k) into PG(m, K), there exists an isomorphism from k into K and an (n+1) × (m+1) matrix B with entries in K such that can be expressed as (x₁,x₂,...,x_n) = [(1,x₁ ,x₂ ,...,x_n )B], where the right-hand side is the equivalence class of (1,x₁ ,x₂ ,...,x_n )B. Moreover, in this expression, is uniquely determined, and B is uniquely determined up to a multiplication of element of K*. Let l 1, and suppose that there exists an embedding of AG(m+l, k) into PG(m, K) which has the above expression. If we put r = dim _k K, then we have r 3 and m > 2 l-1)/(r-2). Conversely, there exists an embedding of AG(l+m, k) into PG(m, K) with the above expression if K is a cyclic extension of k with dim _k K=r 3, and if m 2l/(r-2) with m even or if m 2l/(r-2) +1 with m odd.     

Syzygies of Veronese Embeddings

We prove that the Veronese embedding _O ⁿ (d): ^{n N} with n2, d3 does not satisfy property N _p (according to Green and Lazarsfeld) if p3d–2. We make the conjecture that also the converse holds. This is true for n=2 and for n=d=3.     

The Parameters of Bipartite Q-polynomial Distance-Regular Graphs

Let denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter D 3 and valency k 3. Suppose ₀, ₁, ..., _D is a Q-polynomial ordering of the eigenvalues of . This sequence is known to satisfy the recurrence _{i – 1} – _i + _{i + 1} = 0 (0 > i > D), for some real scalar . Let q denote a complex scalar such that q + q ^–1 = . Bannai and Ito have conjectured that q is real if the diameter D is sufficiently large.We settle this conjecture in the bipartite case by showing that q is real if the diameter D 4. Moreover, if D = 3, then q is not real if and only if ₁ is the second largest eigenvalue and the pair (, k) is one of the following: (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), or (2, 5). We observe that each of these pairs has a unique realization by a known bipartite distance-regular graph of diameter 3.     

Admissibility of linear estimators of regression coefficients under quadratic loss

For the general fixed effects linear model:Y=X+, N(0,V),V0, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions forLY+a to be admissible for a linear estimable functionS in the class of all estimators under the loss function (d -S)D(d -S), whereD0 is known. For the general random effects linear model: =XV ₁₁ X+XV ₁₂+V ₂₁ X+V ₂₂0, we also get the necessary and sufficient conditions forLY+a to be admissible for a linear estimable functionS+Q in the class of all estimators under the loss function (d -S -Q)D(d -S -Q), whereD0 is known.
