Fundamental Solution of the Anisotropic Porous Medium Equation

We establish the existence of fundamental solutions for the anisotropic porous medium equation, ut = ∑n i=1（u^mi）xixi in R^n × （O,∞）, where m1,m2,..., and mn, are positive constants satisfying min1≤i≤n{mi}≤ 1, ∑i^n=1 mi 〉 n - 2, and max1≤i≤n{mi} ≤1/n（2 ＋ ∑i^n=1 mi）.     

A sharp form of an embedding into multiple exponential spaces

A note on skew characters of symmetric groups

In this paper we establish the following estimate:

$$\omega \left( {\left\{ {x \in {\mathbb{R}^n}:\left| {\left[ {b,T} \right]f\left( x \right)} \right| > \lambda } \right\}} \right) \leqslant \frac{{{c_T}}}{{{\varepsilon ^2}}}\int_{{\mathbb{R}^n}} {\Phi \left( {{{\left\| b \right\|}_{BMO}}\frac{{\left| {f\left( x \right)} \right|}}{\lambda }} \right){M_{L{{\left( {\log L} \right)}^{1 + \varepsilon }}}}} \omega \left( x \right)dx$$

where ω ≥ 0, 0 < ε < 1 and Φ(t) = t(1 + log⁺(t)). This inequality relies upon the following sharp L ^p estimate:

$${\left\| {\left[ {b,T} \right]f} \right\|_{{L^p}\left( \omega \right)}} \leqslant {c_T}{\left( {p'} \right)^2}{p^2}{\left( {\frac{{p - 1}}{\delta }} \right)^{\frac{1}{{p'}}}}{\left\| b \right\|_{BMO}}{\left\| f \right\|_{{L^p}\left( {{M_{L{{\left( {{{\log }_L}} \right)}^{2p - 1 + {\delta ^\omega }}}}}} \right)}}$$

where 1 < p < ∞, ω ≥ 0 and 0 < δ < 1. As a consequence we recover the following estimate essentially contained in [18]:

$$\omega \left( {\left\{ {x \in {\mathbb{R}^n}:\left| {\left[ {b,T} \right]f\left( x \right)} \right| > \lambda } \right\}} \right) \leqslant {c_T}{\left[ \omega \right]_{{A_\infty }}}{\left( {1 + {{\log }^ + }{{\left[ \omega \right]}_{{A_\infty }}}} \right)^2}\int_{{\mathbb{R}^n}} {\Phi \left( {{{\left\| b \right\|}_{BMO}}\frac{{\left| {f\left( x \right)} \right|}}{\lambda }} \right)M} \omega \left( x \right)dx.$$

We also obtain the analogue estimates for symbol-multilinear commutators for a wider class of symbols.

On the trigonometric polynomials of Fejér and Young

The trigonometric polynomials of Fejér and Young are defined by $S_n (x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\sin (kx)}} {k}}$S_n (x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\sin (kx)}} {k}} and $C_n (x) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\cos (kx)}} {k}}$C_n (x) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\cos (kx)}} {k}}, respectively. We prove that the inequality $\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 9}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 9}} \right)\sqrt {15} \leqslant {{C_n \left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{C_n \left( x \right)} {S_n \left( x \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {S_n \left( x \right)}}$\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 9}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 9}} \right)\sqrt {15} \leqslant {{C_n \left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{C_n \left( x \right)} {S_n \left( x \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {S_n \left( x \right)}} holds for all n ≥ 2 and x ∈ (0, π). The lower bound is sharp.

Some integral inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial

If P(z) is a polynomial of degree n which does not vanish in |z| 1,then it is recently proved by Rather [Jour.Ineq.Pure and Appl.Math.,9 (2008),Issue 4,Art.103] that for every γ 0 and every real or complex number α with |α|≥ 1,{∫02π |D α P(e iθ)| γ dθ}1/γ≤ n(|α| + 1)C γ{∫02π|P(eiθ)| γ dθ}1/γ,C γ ={1/2π∫0 2π|1+eiβ|γdβ}-1/γ,where D α P(z) denotes the polar derivative of P(z) with respect to α.In this paper we prove a result which not only provides a refinement of the above inequality but also gives a result of Aziz and Dawood [J.Approx.Theory,54 (1988),306-313] as a special case.     

On the rates of the other law of the logarithm

Let X, X1 , X2 , . . . be i.i.d. random variables, and set Sn = X1 +···+Xn , Mn = maxk≤n |Sk|, n ≥1. Let an = o( (n)(1/2)/logn). By using the strong approximation, we prove that, if EX = 0, VarX = σ2 0 and E|X| 2+ε ∞ for some ε 0, then for any r 1, lim ε1/(r-1)(1/2) [ε-2-(r-1)]∞∑n=1 nr-2 P{Mn ≤εσ (π2n/(8log n))(1/2) + an } = 4/π . We also show that the widest a n is o( n(1/2)/logn).     

Convergence rates of the LIL for random fields in Hilbert spaces

Considering the positive d-dimensional lattice point Z ₊ ^d (d ≥ 2) with partial ordering ≤, let {X _k: k ∈ Z ₊ ^d } be i.i.d. random variables taking values in a real separable Hilbert space (H, ‖ · ‖) with mean zero and covariance operator Σ, and set $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } , n ∈ Z ₊ ^d . Let σ _i ², i ≥ 1, be the eigenvalues of Σ arranged in the non-increasing order and taking into account the multiplicities. Let l be the dimension of the corresponding eigenspace, and denote the largest eigenvalue of Σ by σ ². Let logx = ln(x ∨ e), x ≥ 0. This paper studies the convergence rates for $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) . We show that when l ≥ 2 and b > −l/2, E[‖X‖²(log ‖X‖) ^d−2(log log ‖X‖) ^b+4] < ∞ implies $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} , where Γ(·) is the Gamma function and $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } .     

A Representation of the Lorentz Spin Group and Its Application

For an integer m ≥ 4, we define a set of 2[m/2] × 2[m/2] matrices γj （m）, （j = 0, 1,..., m - 1） which satisfy γj （m）γk （m） ＋γk （m）γj （m） = 2ηjk （m）I[m/2], where （ηjk （m）） 0≤j,k≤m-1 is a diagonal matrix, the first diagonal element of which is 1 and the others are -1, I[m/2] is a 2[m/1] × 2[m/2] identity matrix with [m/2] being the integer part of m/2. For m = 4 and 5, the representation （m） of the Lorentz Spin group is known. For m≥ 6, we prove that （i） when m = 2n, （n ≥ 3）, （m） is the group generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（（I＋k） 0 ＋ 0 I-K） （ U 0 0 U）, （ii） when m = 2n ＋ 1 （n≥ 3）, （m） is generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（I -k^- k I）U,U∈ （m-1）,ξ=1-m-2 ∑k,j=0 ηkja^k a^j〉0, K=i[m-3 ∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）＋a^（m-2） In],K^-=i[m-3∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）-a^（m-2） In]}
