Propertyf −1(S) =g −1(S) for entire and meromorphicP-adic functions

LetW be an algebraically closed filed of characteristic zero, letK be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, complete for an ultrametric absolute value, and letA(K) (resp. ℳ(K)) be the set of entire (resp. meromorphic) functions inK. For everyn≥7, we show that the setS _n(b) of zeros of the polynomialx ⁿ−b (b≠0) is such that, iff, g ∈W[x] or iff, g ∈A(K), satisfyf ⁻¹(S _n(b))=g ⁻¹(S _n(b)), thenf ⁿ=g ⁿ. For everyn≥14, we show thatS _n(b) is such that iff, g ∈W({tx}) or iff, g ∈ ℳ(K) satisfyf ⁻¹(S _n(b))=g ⁻¹(S _n(b)), then eitherf ⁿ=g ⁿ, orfg is a constant. Analogous properties are true for complex entire and meromorphic functions withn≥8 andn≥15, respectively. For everyn≥9, we show that the setY _n(c) of zeros of the polynomial , (withc≠0 and 1) is an ursim ofn points forW[x], and forA(K). For everyn≥16, we show thatY _n(c) is an ursim ofn points forW(x), and for ℳ(K). We follow a method based on thep-adic Nevanlinna Theory and use certain improvement of a lemma obtained by Frank and Reinders.     

Multiparameter inverse problem of approximation by functions with given supports

Let L _p (S), 0 < p < +∞, be a Lebesgue space of measurable functions on S with ordinary quasinorm ∥·∥ _p . For a system of sets {B _t |t ∈ [0, +∞) ⁿ } and a given function ψ: [0, +∞) ⁿ ↦ [ 0, +∞), we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a function f ∈ L _p (S) such that inf {∥f − g∥ _p ^p g ∈ L _p (S), g = 0 almost everywhere on S\B _t } = ψ (t), t ∈ [0, +∞) ⁿ . As a consequence, we obtain a generalization and improvement of the Dzhrbashyan theorem on the inverse problem of approximation by functions of the exponential type in L ₂. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 58, No. 8, pp. 1116–1127, August, 2006.     

Detection of Some Elements in the Stable Homotopy Groups of Spheres

Let A be the mod p Steenrod algebra and S be the sphere spectrum localized at an odd prime p. To determine the stable homotopy groups of spheres π＊S is one of the central problems in homotopy theory. This paper constructs a new nontrivial family of homotopy elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres πp^nq＋2pq＋q-3S which isof order p and is represented by kohn ∈ ExtA^3,P^nq＋2pq＋q（Zp,Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence, wherep 〉 5 is an odd prime, n ≥3 and q = 2（p-1）. In the course of the proof, a new family of homotopy elements in πp^nq＋（p＋1）q-1V（1） which is represented by β＊i＇＊i＊（hn） ∈ ExtA^2,pnq＋（p＋1）q＋1 （H^＊V（1）, Zp） in the Adams sequence is detected.     

On the weak non-defectivity of veronese embeddings of projective spaces

Fix integers n, x, k such that n≥3, k>0, x≥4, (n, x)≠(3, 4) and k(n+1)<( _n ^n+x ). Here we prove that the order x Veronese embedding ofP ⁿ is not weakly (k−1)-defective, i.e. for a general S⊃P ⁿ such that #(S) = k+1 the projective space | I _2S (x)| of all degree t hypersurfaces ofP ⁿ singular at each point of S has dimension ( _n ^/n+x )−1− k(n+1) (proved by Alexander and Hirschowitz) and a general F∈| I _2S (x)| has an ordinary double point at each P∈ S and Sing (F)=S.

On a Delay Reaction-Diffusion Difference Equation of Neutral Type

In this paper, we first consider a delay difference equation of neutral type of the form: Δ(y _n + py _n−k + q _n y _n−l = 0 for n∈ℤ⁺(0) (1*) and give a different condition from that of Yu and Wang (Funkcial Ekvac, 1994, 37(2): 241–248) to guarantee that every non-oscillatory solution of (1*) with p = 1 tends to zero as n→∞. Moreover, we consider a delay reaction-diffusion difference equation of neutral type of the form: Δ₁(u _n,m + pu _n−k,m ) + q _n,m u _n−l,m = a ²Δ² ₂ u _{n +1, m−1} for (n,m) ∈ℤ⁺ (0) ×Ω, (2*) study various cases of p in the neutral term and obtain that if p≥−1 then every non-oscillatory solution of (2*) tends uniformly in m∈Ω to zero as n→∞; if p = −1 then every solution of (2*) oscillates and if p < −1 then every non-oscillatory solution of (2*) goes uniformly in m∈Ω to infinity or minus infinity as n→∞ under some hypotheses.

Slow and fast decay of solutions to some second order evolution equations

IfA=A ^*≥0 on the real Hilbert spaceH=L ² (Ω, dμ) withKerA=A ⁻¹ ({0})∈0, (I+A)⁻¹ compact andf(u)=c|u| ^p−1 u withc>0,p>1, the solutions ofu”+u’+Au+f(u)=0 tend to 0 in norm at least liket ^−1/(p−1) ast→∞. Here it is shown that the set of initial data of those solutions tending to 0 exponentially fast has near 0 the structure of a manifold with codimension dim(Ker A). If, in addition,A=−Δ with Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions, we show that the following alternative holds true: eitheru(t) tends to 0 exponentially fast, or ‖u(t)‖≥γt ^−1/(p−1) with γ>0 fort≥1.     

Isoperimetric regions in spherical cones and Yamabe constants of M ×?S1

We study isoperimetric regions on Riemannian manifolds of the form (M ⁿ × (0, π), sin²(t)g + dt ²) where g is a metric of positive Ricci curvature ≥ n − 1. When g is an Einstein metric we use this to compute the Yamabe constant of (M ×\mathbbR, g+ dt² ){(M \times \mathbb{R}, g+ dt^2 )} and so to obtain lower bounds for the Yamabe invariant of M × S ¹.     

Potential space estimates in local Hardy spaces for Green potentials in convex domains

Let Ω be a bounded co.nvex domain in Rn(n≥3) and G(x,y) be the Green function of the Laplace operator -△ on Ω. Let hrp(Ω) = {f ∈ D'(Ω) :(E)F∈hp(Rn), s.t. F|Ω = f}, by the atom characterization of Local Hardy spaces in a bounded Lipschitz domain, the bound of f→(△)2(Gf) for every f ∈ hrp(Ω) is obtained, where n/(n 1)＜p≤1.     

A large-deviation result for the range of random walk and for the Wiener sausage

Let {S _n } be a random walk on ℤ ^d and let R _n be the number of different points among 0, S ₁,…, S _{n −1}. We prove here that if d≥ 2, then ψ(x) := lim _{n →∞}(−:1/n) logP{R _n ≥nx} exists for x≥ 0 and establish some convexity and monotonicity properties of ψ(x). The one-dimensional case will be treated in a separate paper. We also prove a similar result for the Wiener sausage (with drift). Let B(t) be a d-dimensional Brownian motion with constant drift, and for a bounded set A⊂ℝ ^d let Λ _t = Λ _t (A) be the d-dimensional Lebesgue measure of the `sausage' ∪_{0≤ s ≤ t} (B(s) + A). Then φ(x) := lim _t→∞: (−1/t) log P{Λ _t ≥tx exists for x≥ 0 and has similar properties as ψ. Received: 20 April 2000 / Revised version: 1 September 2000 / Published online: 26 April 2001     

Characterizations of BMO associated with Gauss measures via commutators of local fractional integrals

Let dγ(x) ≡ π ^−n/2 e ^{−|x| 2} dx for all x ∈ ℝ ⁿ be the Gauss measure on ℝ ⁿ . In this paper, the authors establish the characterizations of the space BMO(γ) of Mauceri and Meda via commutators of either local fractional integral operators or local fractional maximal operators. To this end, the authors first prove that such a local fractional integral operator of order β is bounded from L ^p (γ) to L ^p/(1−pβ)(γ), or from the Hardy space H ¹(γ) of Mauceri and Meda to L ^1/(1−β)(γ) or from L ^1/β (γ) to BMO(γ), where β ∈ (0, 1) and p ∈ (1, 1/β).
