Moduli of continuity of selections from nonconvex maps

We consider two continuous selection problems related to the differential inclusion F(t, x). Assuming thatF is Hölder or Lipschitz continuous with compact, not necessarily convex values, we provide estimates on the modulus of continuity of these selections.     

On nonconvex perturbations of maximal monotone differential inclusions

The paper is concerned with the evolution inclusionxAx+F(t,x), whereA generates a contractive semigroup andF is a lower semicontinuous multifunction. Constructing a suitable directionally continuous selection fromF, we prove the existence of solutions on a closed domain and the connectedness of the set of trajectories.     

Vector Equilibrium Problems with Generalized Monotone Bifunctions

A vector equilibrium problem is defined as follows: given a closed convex subset K of a real topological Hausdorff vector space and a bifunction F(x, y) valued in a real ordered locally convex vector space, find x ^*K such that for all yK. This problem generalizes the (scalar) equilibrium problem and the vector variational inequality problem. Extending very recent results for these two special cases, the paper establishes existence of solutions for the unifying model, assuming that F is either a pseudomonotone or quasimonotone bifunction.

Convergence of Double Fourier Series after a Change of Variable

In this paper, we prove that for any compact set there exists a homeomorphism of the closed interval such that for an arbitrary function f the Fourier series of the function F(x,y) = f((x),(y)) converges uniformly on simultaneously over rectangles, over spheres, and over triangles.     

Bezout Rings,Polynomials, and Distributivity

Let A be a ring, be an injective endomorphism of A, and let be the right skew polynomial ring. If all right annihilator ideals of A are ideals, then R is a right Bezout ring is a right Rickartian right Bezout ring, (e)=e for every central idempotent eA, and the element (a) is invertible in A for every regular aA. If A is strongly regular and n 2, then R/x ⁿ R is a right Bezout ring R/x ⁿ R is a right distributive ring R/x ⁿ R is a right invariant ring (e)=e for every central idempotent eA. The ring R/x ² R is right distributive R/x ⁿ R is right distributive for every positive integer n A is right or left Rickartian and right distributive, (e)=e for every central idempotent eA and the (a) is invertible in A for every regular aA. If A is a ring which is a finitely generated module over its center, then A[x] is a right Bezout ring A[x]/x ² A[x] is a right Bezout ring A is a regular ring.

The lyapunov equation and the problem of stability for linear bounded discrete-time systems in Hilbert space

This paper is devoted to a study of the properties of the equationA ^*FA–F=–G, where FL() is unknown, AL(), GL() is positive and is a Hilbert space. It is shown that necessary and sufficient (in some sense) conditions for the existence of positive definite solutions of this equation are directly connected with the stability of infinite dimensional linear systemx _k+1=Ax _k . The relationships between stability of such a system and stability of a continuous-time system generated by a strongly continuous semigroup are given also. As an example the case of the delayed system in Rⁿ is considered.This work was supported in part by the Polish Academy of Sciences under the contract Problem Miedzyresortowy I.1, Grupa Tematyczna 3 This paper was written while the author was with the Instytut Automatyki, the same university.     

Continuity of Sobolev Functions and Dirichletg Finite Harmonic Measures

We investigate the existence of finely continuous Sobolev functions u which have traces equal to the characteristic function of a bounded set E . As an application we examine the existence of Dirichlet finite p-harmonic measures on the unit ball of R ⁿ.     

Multivalued differential equations in separable Banach spaces

This paper is concerned with multivalued differential equations of the form F(t,x), whereF is a multivalued mapping taking as its values nonempty compact, but not necessarily convex, subsets in a separable Banach space. The main result is connected with the existence of solutions of these equations.     

The Minimal Subgroup of a Random Walk

It is proved that for each random walk (S _n ) _n0 on ^d there exists a smallest measurable subgroup of ^d , called minimal subgroup of (S _n ) _n0, such that P(S _n )=1 for all n1. can be defined as the set of all x ^d for which the difference of the time averages n ^{–1 n} _k=1 P(S _k ) and n ^{–1 n} _k=1 P(S _k +x) converges to 0 in total variation norm as n. The related subgroup * consisting of all x ^d for which lim _n P(S _n )–P(S _n +x)=0 is also considered and shown to be the minimal subgroup of the symmetrization of (S _n ) _n0. In the final section we consider quasi-invariance and admissible shifts of probability measures on ^d . The main result shows that, up to regular linear transformations, the only subgroups of ^d admitting a quasi-invariant measure are those of the form ₁×...× _k × ^l–k ×{0} ^d–l , 0kld, with ₁,..., _k being countable subgroups of . The proof is based on a result recently proved by Kharazishvili⁽³⁾ which states no uncountable proper subgroup of admits a quasi-invariant measure.     

A Note on the Recursive Sequence x n + 1 = p k x n + p k − 1 x n − 1 +...+ p 1 x n − k + 1

Scalarization of Tangential Regularity of Set-Valued Mappings

A set-valued mapping M from a topological vector space E into a normed vector space F is tangentially regular at a point in its graph g p h M if the Clarke tangent cone to g p h M at is equal to the Bouligand contingent cone to g p h M at . In this paper we characterize, in several cases, this tangential regularity as the directional regularity of the scalar function _M defined by _M (x, y) : = d(y, M(x)). The results allow us to express, in a useful formula, the subdifferential of _M in terms of the normal cone to the graph of M.     

Chaotic solutions of systems with almost periodic forcing

Summary In a recent paper [J. Diff. Equat. 55 (2) (1984), 225–256], J. Palmer proved Smale's theorem on the embedding of the Bernoulli shift in the context of a periodic differential system (^*) =f (t, x),x ⁿ , using a nonautonomous shadow lemma. By means of this lemma, we show that one does get a similar kind of chaotic motion whenf is almost periodic int. Actually, we do not consider the equation (^*). In order to show that the hypotheses can be satisfied, we rather consider a parameter-dependent equation of the formx=g(x)+h(t,x,), whereIR is the parameter.

Zusammenfassung In einer kürzlich erschienenen Arbeit [J. Diff. Equat. 55 (2) (1984), 225–256] bewies J. Palmer den Satz von Smale über die Einbettung des Bernoullischifts für periodische Differentialgleichungssysteme der Form (^*) =f (t, x),x ⁿ , unter Verwendung eines Schattenlemmas für nicht-autonome Systeme. Mit Hilfe dieses Lemmas zeigen wir, daß man eine ähnliche chaotische Bewegung erhält, wennf fast-periodisch int ist. Genau genommen betrachten wir nicht die Gleichung (^*). Um zu zeigen, daß die Voraussetzungen erfüllt werden können, betrachten wir vielmehr eine parameterabhängige Gleichung der Form =g(x)+h(t,x,), wobeiIR der Parameter ist.

An inversion theorem for integral transforms related to singular Sturm-Liouville problems on the half line

We extend the classical theory of singular Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems on the half line, as developed by Titshmarsh and Levitan to generalized functions in order to obtain a general approach to handle many integral transforms, such as the sine, cosine, Weber, Hankel, and the K-transforms, in a unified way. This approach will lead to an inversion formula that holds in the sense of generalized functions. More precisely, for [0,) and 0<, let (x,) be a solution of the Sturm-Liouville equation

A Characterization of Minimal Legendrian Submanifolds in S2n+1

Let x: L ⁿ S²ⁿ⁺¹ R²ⁿ⁺² be a minimal submanifold in S²ⁿ⁺¹. In this note, we show that L is Legendrian if and only if for any A su(n + 1) the restriction to L of Ax, (–1)x satisfies f = 2(n + 1)f. In this case, 2(n + 1) is an eigenvalue of the Laplacian with multiplicity at least (n(n + 3)). Moreover if the multiplicity equals to ;(n(n + 3)), then L ⁿ is totally geodesic.
