Stable Convergence of Multiple Wiener-Itô Integrals

We prove sufficient conditions ensuring that a sequence of multiple Wiener-Itô integrals (with respect to a general Gaussian process) converges stably to a mixture of normal distributions. Note that stable convergence is stronger than convergence in distribution. Our key tool is an asymptotic decomposition of contraction kernels, realized by means of increasing families of projection operators. We also use an infinite-dimensional Clark-Ocone formula, as well as a version of the correspondence between “abstract” and “concrete” filtered Wiener spaces, in a spirit similar to that of Üstünel and Zakai (J. Funct. Anal. 143, 10–32, [1997]).     

Padé–Jacobi Filtering for Spectral Approximations of Discontinuous Solutions

Spectral type methods for the discretization of partial differential equations rely on the approximation of the solution by polynomials of high degree. These methods are proven, both theoretically and numerically, to be of infinite order of accuracy. This infinite order is achieved if the solution is very regular. On the other hand, the Gibbs phenomenon prevents – a priori – the good convergence if the solution is discontinuous. Nevertheless, for systems of conservation laws, the spectral vanishing viscosity method leads to numerical solutions that are spectrally close to the projection of the exact solution on the set of polynomials. The idea is then to postprocess the numerical solution in order to extract pertinent physical information. The aim of this paper is to propose and analyse such a postprocessing method based on rational approximants that allows to circumvent the Gibbs phenomenon and can be used as an acceleration device for spectral numerical solution.     

Modularity of Calabi-Yau varieties and conformal field theory

We study the modularity problem of Calabi-Yau varieties from the conformal field theo- retic point of view.We express the modular forms associated to all 1-dimensional Calabi-Yau orbifolds in terms of products of Dedekind eta functions,which is hoped to shed light on the modularity questions for higher dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties.     

Well-posedness for the system of the Hamilton–Jacobi and the continuity equations

Let H (t, x, p) be a Hamiltonian function that is convex in p. Let the associated Lagrangian satisfy the nonstandard minorization condition where m > 0, ω > 0, and C ≥ 0 are constants. Under some additional conditions, we prove that the associated value function is the unique viscosity solution of S _t + H(t, x, ∇S) = 0 in , without any conditions at infinity on the solution. Here ωT < π/2. To the Hamilton–Jacobi equation corresponding to the classical action integrand in mechanics, we adjoin the continuity equation and establish the existence and uniqueness of a viscosity–measure solution (S, ρ) of

Spectral decomposition and Gelfand’s theorem

We consider the spectral decomposition of A, the generator of a polynomially bounded n-times integrated group whose spectrum set $\sigma(A)=\{i\lambda_{k};k\in\mathbb{\mathbb{Z}}^{*}\}We consider the spectral decomposition of A, the generator of a polynomially bounded n-times integrated group whose spectrum set s(A)={il_k;k ? \mathbb\mathbbZ^*}\sigma(A)=\{i\lambda_{k};k\in\mathbb{\mathbb{Z}}^{*}\} is discrete and satisfies ?\frac1|l_k|^ld_kⁿ < ￥\sum \frac{1}{|\lambda_{k}|^{\ell}\delta_{k}^{n}}<\infty , where ℓ is a nonnegative integer and d_k=min(\frac|l_k+1-l_k|2,\frac|l_k-1-l_k|2)\delta _{k}=\min(\frac{|\lambda_{k+1}-\lambda _{k}|}{2},\frac{|\lambda _{k-1}-\lambda _{k}|}{2}) . In this case, Theorem 3, we show by using Gelfand’s Theorem that there exists a family of projectors (P_k)_{k ? \mathbb\mathbbZ^*}(P_{k})_{k\in\mathbb{\mathbb{Z}}^{*}} such that, for any x∈D(A ^n+ℓ ), the decomposition ∑P _k x=x holds.

The exact Hausdorff measures for the graph and image of a multidimensional iterated Brownian motion

Let {W(t),t∈R}, {B(t),t∈R } be two independent Brownian motions on R with W(0) = B(0) = 0. In this paper, we shall consider the exact Hausdorff measures for the image and graph sets of the d-dimensional iterated Brownian motion X(t), where X(t) = (Xi(t),... ,Xd(t)) and X1(t),... ,Xd(t) are d independent copies of Y(t) = W(B(t)). In particular, for any Borel set Q (?) (0,∞), the exact Hausdorff measures of the image X(Q) = {X(t) : t∈Q} and the graph GrX(Q) = {(t, X(t)) :t∈Q}are established.     

Sobolev derivatives and Itô decomposition formula for Gaussian processes using properties of their RKHSs

Malliavin calculus has been extensively developed for abstract Wiener spaces. It is of interest to develop the basic concepts of an infinite-dimensional calculus for an arbitrary Gaussian processX=(X_t), wheret T (T being a multiparameter set or, more generally, a complete separable metric space), bringing into evidence the properties of the covariance kernel (or, equivalently, the reproducing kernel Hilbert space) ofX. In this paper a definition of thekth Sobolev derivative is given and thekth chaos expansion of a functional is shown to be thekth-order divergence operator. An extension of Itô's decomposition formula is derived.

On the continuous extension of a generalized solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation by characteristics that form a central field of extremals

The Cauchy problem for the Hamilton–Jacobi equation with state constraints is considered. A justification for a construction of a generalized solution with given structure is provided. The construction is based on the method of characteristics and on solutions of problems related to calculus of variations.     

Spectral Characterizations of the Lovász Number and the Delsarte Number of a Graph

This paper gives spectral characterizations of two closely related graph functions: the Lovász number and a generalization ¹ of Delsarte's linear programming bound. There are many known characterizations of the Lovász number , and each one corresponds to a similar characterization of ¹ obtained by extremizing over a larger or smaller class of objects.The spectral characterizations of and ¹ given here involve the largest eigenvalue of a type of weighted Laplacian that Fan Chung introduced.     

An adaptive domain decomposition method for the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation governing a class of optimal feedback control and stochastic control problems. This algorithm is based on a non-overlapping domain decomposition method and an adaptive least-squares collocation radial basis function discretization with a novel matrix inversion technique. To demonstrate the efficiency of this method, numerical experiments on test problems with up to three states and two control variables have been performed. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm is highly parallelizable and its computational cost decreases exponentially as the number of sub-domains increases.     

Spectral theory for Maxwell’s equations at the interface of a metamaterial. Part I: Generalized Fourier transform

We explore the spectral properties of the time-dependent Maxwell’s equations for a plane interface between a metamaterial represented by the Drude model and the vacuum, which fill, respectively, complementary half-spaces. We construct explicitly a generalized Fourier transform which diagonalizes the Hamiltonian that describes the propagation of transverse electric waves. This transform appears as an operator of decomposition on a family of generalized eigenfunctions of the problem. It will be used in a forthcoming paper to prove both limiting absorption and limiting amplitude principles.     

Weak KAM theory for discounted Hamilton–Jacobi equations and its application

Weak KAM theory for discounted Hamilton–Jacobi equations and corresponding discounted Lagrangian/Hamiltonian dynamics is developed. Then it is applied to error estimates for viscosity solutions in the vanishing discount process. The main feature is to introduce and investigate the family of \(\alpha \)-limit points of minimizing curves, with some details in terms of minimizing measures. In error estimates, the family of \(\alpha \)-limit points is effectively exploited with properties of the corresponding dynamical systems.
