Directional approximation of functions of two variables in the spaces ℒ p (R2) and ℒ p (R + 2 )

Let r ∈ N, α, t ∈ R, x ∈ R ², f: R ² → C, and denote $ \Delta _{t,\alpha }^r (f,x) = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^r {( - 1)^{r - k} c_r^k f(x_1 + kt\cos \alpha ,x_2 + kt\sin \alpha ).} $ In this paper, we investigate the relation between the behavior of the quantity $ \left\| {\int\limits_E {\Delta _{t,\alpha }^r (f, \cdot )\Psi _n (t)dt} } \right\|_{p,G} , $ as n → ∞ (here, E ? R, G ∈ {R ², R ₊ ² }, and ψ _n ∈ L ₁(E) is a positive kernel) and structural properties of function f. These structural properties are characterized by its “directional” moduli of continuity: $ \omega _{r,\alpha } (f,h)_{p,G} = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{0 \leqslant t \leqslant h} \left\| {\Delta _{t,\alpha }^r (f)} \right\|_{p,G} . $ Here is one of the results obtained.

If there exists an r ∈ N such that, for any m ∈ N, we have Δ _{m, r} > 0, Δ _{m, r + 1} < ∞, and $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{{\Delta _{n,r + 1} }} {{\Delta _{n,r} }} = 0,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \Delta _{n,r}^{ - 1} \int\limits_{E\backslash A} {\Psi _n = 0} , $ then the relations $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \Delta _{n,r}^{ - 1} \left\| {\int\limits_E {\Delta _{t,\alpha }^r (f, \cdot )\Psi _n dt} } \right\|_{p,G} \leqslant K, \mathop {\sup }\limits_{t \in (0,\infty )} t^r \omega _{r,\alpha } (f,t)_{p,G} \leqslant K $ are equivalent. Particular methods of approximation are considered. We establish Corollary 1.

Some results on non-linear recurrence

We study the behavior of measure-preserving systems with continuous time along sequences of the form {n ^α}n∈#x2115;} where α is a positive real number¹. Let {S ^t } _t∈? be an ergodic continuous measure preserving flow on a probability Lebesgue space (X, β, μ). Among other results we show that:

1. For all but countably many α (in particular, for all α∈???) one can find anL ^∞-functionf for which the averagesA _N (f)(1/N)=Σ _n=1 ^N f(S ^nα x) fail to converge almost everywhere (the convergence in norm holds for any α!).
2. For any non-integer and pairwise distinct numbers α₁, α₂,..., α _k ∈(0, 1) and anyL ^∞-functionsf ₁,f ₂, ...,f _k , one has $$\mathop {lim}\limits_{N \to \infty } \left\| {\frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{n - 1}^N {\prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {f_i (S^{n^{\alpha _i } } x) - \prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {\int_X {f_i d\mu } } } } } \right\|_{L^2 } = 0$$

We also show that Furstenberg’s correspondence principle fails for ?-actions by demonstrating that for all but a countably many α>0 there exists a setE?? having densityd(E)=1/2 such that, for alln∈?, $$d(E \cap (E - n^\alpha )) = 0$$ .     

On the Fourth Moment of Coefficients of Symmetric Square L-Function

Let f(z) be a holomorphic Hecke eigencuspform of weight k for the full modular group. Let ?? _f (n) be the nth normalized Fourier coefficient of f(z). Suppose that L(sym² f, s) is the symmetric square L-function associated with f(z), and $ \lambda _{sym^2 f} (n) $ (n) denotes the nth coefficient L(sym² f, s). In this paper, it is proved that $$ \sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {\lambda _{sym^2 f}^4 (n)} = xP2(\log x) + O(x^{\frac{{79}} {{81}} + \varepsilon } ), $$ , where P ₂(t) is a polynomial in t of degree 2. Similarly, it is obtained that $$ \sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {\lambda _f^4 (n^2 )} = x\tilde P2(\log x) + O(x^{\frac{{79}} {{81}} + \varepsilon } ), $$ , where $ \tilde P_2 (t) $ is a polynomial in t of degree 2.     

Congruences involving generalized central trinomial coefficients

For integers b and c the generalized central trinomial coefficient Tn(b,c)denotes the coefficient of xnin the expansion of(x2+bx+c)n.Those Tn=Tn(1,1)(n=0,1,2,...)are the usual central trinomial coefficients,and Tn(3,2)coincides with the Delannoy number Dn=n k=0n k n+k k in combinatorics.We investigate congruences involving generalized central trinomial coefficients systematically.Here are some typical results:For each n=1,2,3,...,we have n-1k=0(2k+1)Tk(b,c)2(b2-4c)n-1-k≡0(mod n2)and in particular n2|n-1k=0(2k+1)D2k;if p is an odd prime then p-1k=0T2k≡-1p(mod p)and p-1k=0D2k≡2p(mod p),where(-)denotes the Legendre symbol.We also raise several conjectures some of which involve parameters in the representations of primes by certain binary quadratic forms.

Zur Bestimmung vonE n [x n+2m ]

Remark on the estimation ofE _n [x ^n+2m ]. Let be $$E_n [f]: = \mathop {\inf }\limits_{p \in P_n } \mathop {\sup }\limits_{x \in [ - 1, 1]} |f(x) - p(x)|$$ (P _n : set of all polynomials of degreen). Riess-Johnson [4] proved (3) $$E_n [x^{n + 2m} ] = \frac{{n^{m - 1} }}{{2^{n + 2m - 1} (m - 1)!}}[1 + O(n^{ - 1} )],n even.$$ This degree of approximation is realized by expansion in Chebyshev polynomials and by interpolation at Chebyshev nodes. The purpose of this paper is to give a more precise estimation by constructing the polynomial of best approximation on a finite set. This construction is easily done and one obtains the result, that the termO(n ^?1) in (3) may be replaced by 1/2(m ? 1) (3m + 2)n ^?1 + O(n ^?2).     

The densities for 3-ranks of tame kernels of cyclic cubic number fields

Let F be a cubic cyclic field with t(2)ramified primes.For a finite abelian group G,let r3(G)be the 3-rank of G.If 3 does not ramify in F,then it is proved that t-1 r3(K2O F)2t.Furthermore,if t is fixed,for any s satisfying t-1 s 2t-1,there is always a cubic cyclic field F with exactly t ramified primes such that r3(K2O F)=s.It is also proved that the densities for 3-ranks of tame kernels of cyclic cubic number fields satisfy a Cohen-Lenstra type formula d∞,r=3-r2∞k=1(1-3-k)r k=1(1-3-k)2.This suggests that the Cohen-Lenstra conjecture for ideal class groups can be extended to the tame kernels of cyclic cubic number fields.
