Metric results on the approximation of zero by linear combinations of independent and of dependent rationals

We give some “rational analoga” to metric results in the classical theory of the diophantine approximation of zero by linear forms. That is: we study the behaviour of expressions of the form $$\begin{gathered} \lim _{m \to \infty } \frac{1}{{\left| {P_s (m)} \right|}}|\{ (x_1 , \ldots ,x_s ) \in P_s (m): \hfill \\ \parallel a_1 \frac{{x_1 }}{m} + \ldots + a_s \frac{{x_s }}{m}\parallel _m \geqslant \psi (a_1 , \ldots ,a_s ,m) \hfill \\ for all - \frac{m}{2}< a_1 , \ldots ,a_s \leqslant \frac{m}{2}, \hfill \\ with (a_1 , \ldots ,a_s ) \ne (0, \ldots ,0)\} |, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereP _s (m) is a certain subset of {1, …,m} ^s , ψ is a certain nonnegative function, and ‖ · ‖ _m means the maximum of 1/m and the distance to the nearest integer. Some of the investigations are also motivated by problems in the theory of uniform distribution and of pseudo-random number generation. The results partly depend on the validity of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.     

Two Parameter Asymptotic Spectra in the Uniformly Elliptic Case

In this article we study the abstract two parameter eigenvalue problem $$\begin{gathered} T_1 u_1 = \left( {\lambda _1 V_{11} + \lambda _2 V_{12} } \right)u_1 , \left\| {u_1 } \right\| = 1 \hfill \\ T_2 u_2 = \left( {\lambda _1 V_{21} + \lambda _2 V_{22} } \right)u_2 , \left\| {u_2 } \right\| = 1 \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ where, in the Hilbert spaces H_j, T_j is self-adjoint, bounded below and has compact resolvent, and V_jk are self-adjoint bounded operators, (?1)^j+kV_jk >> 0, j, k = 1, 2. An eigenvalue λ for this problem is a point in R² satisfying both equations. Under appropriate conditions, the eigenvalues λⁿ = (λ₁ ⁿ, λ₂ ⁿ) are countable and in R². We aim to describe the set of limit points of λⁿ/∥λⁿ∥, as ∥λⁿ∥ → ∞, in terms of the V_jk.

Hyperbolic stochastic differential equations: Absolute continuity of the LKW of the solution at a fixed point

LetW be the Wiener process onT=[0, 1]². Consider the stochastic integral equation $$\begin{gathered} X_\zeta = x_0 + \int_{R_\zeta } {a_1 (\zeta \prime )X(s\prime ,dt\prime )ds\prime + } \int_{R_\zeta } {a_2 (\zeta \prime )X(ds\prime ,t\prime )dt\prime } \hfill \\ + \int_{R_\zeta } {a_3 (X_{\zeta \prime , } \zeta \prime )W(ds\prime ,dt\prime ) + } \int_{R_\zeta } {a_4 (X_{\zeta \prime , } \zeta \prime )ds\prime ,dt\prime ,} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereR _ζ =(s, t) ∈ T, andx ₀ ∈ ?. Under some assumptions on the coefficients a_i, the existence and uniqueness of a solution for this stochastic integral equation is already known (see [6]). In this paper we present some sufficient conditions for the law ofX _ζ to have a density.

The inverse problem about two-spectra for the equation (1) $$\begin{gathered} b_0 y_0 + a_0 y_1 = \lambda y_0 , \hfill \\ a_{n - 1} y_{n - 1} + b_n y_n + a_n y_{n + 1} = \lambda y_n \left( {n = 1, 2, 3, ...} \right), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where {y_n} ₀ ^∞ is the desired solution, λ is a complex parameter and $$a_n > 0, \operatorname{Im} b_n = 0 \left( {n = 0, 1 ,2, ...} \right)$$ is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the inverse problem about two-spectrafor Eq. (1) are established and also the procedure of reconstruction of the equation from its two-spectra is indicated.     

Mean value of weyl sums

We give a simple proof of a mean value theorem of I. M. Vinogradov in the following form. Suppose P, n, k, τ are integers, P≥1, n≥2, k≥n (τ+1), τ≥0. Put $$J_{k,n} (P) = \int_0^1 \cdots \int_0^1 {\left| {\sum\nolimits_{x = 1}^P {e^{2\pi i(a_1 x + \cdots + a_n x^n )} } } \right|^{2k} da_1 \ldots da_n .} $$ Then $$J_{k,n} \leqslant n!k^{2n\tau } n^{\sigma n^2 u} \cdot 2^{2n^2 \tau } P^{2k - \Delta } ,$$ where $$\begin{gathered} u = u_\tau = min(n + 1,\tau ), \hfill \\ \Delta = \Delta _\tau = n(n + 1)/2 - (1 - 1/n)^{\tau + 1} n^2 /2. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$      

Microwave spectra and centrifugal distortion constants of orthofluoropyridine

The microwave spectra of orthofluoropyridine due to high J transitions has been analysed in order to determine its centrifugal distortion constants. The final values of rotational and centrifugal distortion constants are: $$\begin{gathered} A = 5870 \cdot 856 \pm 0 \cdot 011 MHz \tau _{aaaa} = - 2 \cdot 46_5 \pm 0 \cdot 016 KHz \hfill \\ B = 2699 \cdot 971 \pm 0 \cdot 005 MHz \tau _{bbbb} = - 0 \cdot 42_2 \pm 0 \cdot 003 KHz \hfill \\ C = 1849 \cdot 244 \pm 0 \cdot 004 MHz \tau _{cccc} = - 0 \cdot 0 (fixed) KHz \hfill \\ \tau _{abab} = - 0 \cdot 61_8 \pm 0 \cdot 015 KHz \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Using these constants a number of transitions have been assigned upto J = 60.

Oscillations and Convergence in an Almost Periodic Competition System

Sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of a globally attractive almost periodic solution of a competition system modelled by the nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra delay differential equations $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{{\text{d}}N_1 (t)}}{{{\text{d}}t}} = N_1 (t)\left[ {r_1 (t) - a_{11} (t)N_1 (t - \tau (t)) - a_{12} (t)N_2 (t - \tau (t))} \right], \hfill \\ \frac{{{\text{d}}N_2 (t)}}{{{\text{d}}t}} = N_2 (t)\left[ {r_2 (t) - a_{21} (t)N_1 (t - \tau (t)) - a_{22} (t)N_2 (t - \tau (t))} \right], \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ in which $ \tau ,r_i ,a_{ij} (i,j = 1,2) $ are continuous positive almost periodic functions; conditions are also obtained for all positive solutions of the above system to 'oscillate' about the unique almost periodic solution. Some ecobiological consequences of the convergence to almost periodicity and delay induced oscillations are briefly discussed.

The consistencies ofMA,SOCA, OCA andISA withKT(ω2)

In this paper, we prove that ifZFC is consistent, then so are the following theories: $$\begin{gathered} ZFC + MA + KT(\omega _2 ) + 2^{\aleph _0 } = \aleph _2 , \hfill \\ ZFC + SOCA + KT(\omega _2 ), \hfill \\ ZFC + SOCA1 + KT(\omega _2 ), \hfill \\ ZFC + OCA + KT(\omega _2 ), \hfill \\ ZFC + ISA + KT(\omega _2 ), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereMA denotes Martin's axiom.KT(ω ₂) the statement:“There exists anω ₂-Kurepa tree”, andSOCA, SOCA1,OCA andISA are axioms introduced in [1].     

On the inverse Laplace transform of the product of a general class of polynomials and the multivariable H-function

In this paper we evaluate the inverse Laplace transform of $$\begin{gathered} s^{ - \eta } (s^{l_1 } + \lambda _1 )^{ - \sigma } (s^{l_2 } + \lambda _2 )^{ - \rho } \hfill \\ \times S_n^m [xs^{ - W} (S^{l_1 } + \lambda _1 )^{ - \upsilon } (S^{l_2 } + \lambda _2 )^{ - w} ]S_{n'}^{m'} [ys^{ - w'} (S^{l_1 } + \lambda _1 )^{ - \upsilon '} (S^{l_2 } + \lambda _2 )^{ - w_r } ] \hfill \\ \times H[z_1 s^{ - W_1 } (S^{l_1 } + \lambda _1 )^{ - \upsilon _1 } (S^{l_2 } + \lambda _2 )^{ - w_1 } ,...,z_r s^{ - w_r } (S^{l_1 } + \lambda _1 )^{ - \upsilon _r } (S^{l_2 } + \lambda _2 )^{ - w'} ] \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Due to the general nature of the multivariable H-function involved herein, the inverse Laplace transform of the product of a large number of special functions involving one or more variables, occurring frequently in the problems of theoretical physics and engineering sciences can be obtained as simple special cases of our main findings. For the sake of illustration, we obtain here the inverse Laplace transform of a product of the Hermite polynomials, the Jacobi polynomials andr different modified Bessel functions of the second kind. A theorem obtained by Srivastava and Singh[7] follows as a special case of our main result.
