Generalized Appell bases

In the context of Köthe spaces we study the bases related with the backward unilateral weighted shift operator, the so-called generalized derivation operator, extending known results for spaces of analytic functions. These bases are a subclass of Sheffer sequences called generalized Appell sequences and they are closely connected with the isomorphisms invariant by the weighted shift. We use methods of the non classical umbral calculi to give conditions for a generalized Appell sequence to be a basis.     

Multivariate periodic wavelet analysis

General multivariate periodic wavelets are an efficient tool for the approximation of multidimensional functions, which feature dominant directions of the periodicity.One-dimensional shift invariant spaces and tensor-product wavelets are generalized to multivariate shift invariant spaces on non-tensor-product patterns. In particular, the algebraic properties of the automorphism group are investigated. Possible patterns are classified. By divisibility considerations, decompositions of shift invariant spaces are given.The results are applied to construct multivariate orthogonal Dirichlet kernels and the respective wavelets. Furthermore a closure theorem is proven.     

An adaptive sampling method for high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signals

In this paper, an adaptive method for sampling and reconstructing high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signals is proposed. First, the integrate‐and‐fire sampling scheme and an approximate reconstruction algorithm for one‐dimensional bandlimited signals are generalized to shift‐invariant signals. Then, a high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signal is reduced to be a sequence of one‐dimensional shift‐invariant signals along the trajectories parallel to some coordinate axis, which can be approximately reconstructed by the generalized integrate‐and‐fire sampling scheme. Finally, an approximate reconstruction for the high‐dimensional shift‐invariant signal is obtained by solving a series of stable linear systems of equations. The main result shows that the final reconstructed error is completely determined by the initial threshold in integrate‐and‐fire sampling scheme, which is generally very small.

Tail invariant measures of the Dyck shift

We show that the one-sided Dyck shift has a unique tail invariant topologically σ-finite measure (up to scaling). This invariant measure of the one sided Dyck turns out to be a shift-invariant probability. Furthermore, it is one of the two ergodic probabilities obtaining maximal entropy. For the two sided Dyck shift we show that there are exactly three ergodic double-tail invariant probabilities. We show that the two sided Dyck has a double-tail invariant probability, which is also shift invariant, with entropy strictly less than the topological entropy.

A note on the dichotomy spectrum

In many ways, exponential dichotomies are an appropriate hyperbolicity notion for nonautonomous linear differential or difference equations. The corresponding dichotomy spectrum generalizes the classical set of eigenvalues or Floquet multipliers and is therefore of eminent importance in a stability theory for explicitly time-dependent systems, as well as to establish a geometric theory of nonautonomous problems with ingredients like invariant manifolds and normal forms, or to deduce continuation and bifurcation techniques.

In this note, we derive some invariance and perturbation properties of the dichotomy spectrum for nonautonomous linear difference equations in Banach spaces. They easily follow from the observation that the dichotomy spectrum is strongly related to a weighted shift operator on an ambient sequence space.     

Drift conditions and invariant measures for Markov chains

We consider the classical Foster–Lyapunov condition for the existence of an invariant measure for a Markov chain when there are no continuity or irreducibility assumptions. Provided a weak uniform countable additivity condition is satisfied, we show that there are a finite number of orthogonal invariant measures under the usual drift criterion, and give conditions under which the invariant measure is unique. The structure of these invariant measures is also identified. These conditions are of particular value for a large class of non-linear time series models.     

Isotopy invariants for smooth tori in 4-manifolds

In this paper we define invariants under smooth isotopy for certain two-dimensional knots using some refined Cerf theory. One of the invariants is the knot type of some classical knot generalizing the string number of closed braids. The other invariant is a generalization of the unique invariant of degree 1 for classical knots in 3-manifolds. Possibly, these invariants can be used to distinguish smooth embeddings of tori in some 4-manifolds but which are equivalent as topological embeddings.     

The Erdős-Vershik problem for the golden ratio

Properties of the Erdős measure and the invariant Erdős measure for the golden ratio and all values of the Bernoulli parameter are studied. It is proved that a shift on the two-sided Fibonacci compact set with invariant Erdős measure is isomorphic to the integral automorphism for a Bernoulli shift with countable alphabet. An effective algorithm for calculating the entropy of an invariant Erdős measure is proposed. It is shown that, for certain values of the Bernoulli parameter, this algorithm gives the Hausdorff dimension of an Erdős measure to 15 decimal places.     

Invariant Measures for Set-Valued Dynamical Systems

A continuous map on a compact metric space, regarded as a dynamical system by iteration, admits invariant measures. For a closed relation on such a space, or, equivalently, an upper semicontinuous set-valued map, there are several concepts which extend this idea of invariance for a measure. We prove that four such are equivalent. In particular, such relation invariant measures arise as projections from shift invariant measures on the space of sample paths. There is a similarly close relationship between the ideas of chain recurrence for the set-valued system and for the shift on the sample path space.

     

Shift equivalence and the Conley index

In this paper we introduce filtration pairs for an isolated invariant set of continuous maps. We prove the existence of filtration pairs and show that, up to shift equivalence, the induced map on the corresponding pointed space is an invariant of the isolated invariant set. Moreover, the maps defining the shift equivalence can be chosen canonically. Last, we define partially ordered Morse decompositions and prove the existence of Morse set filtrations for such decompositions.

     

Non reversible stationary measures for infinite interacting particle systems

Summary Two results concerning the local conditional distributions of a stationary measure for a spin flip process with strictly positive and continuous rates are obtained: 1) The local conditional distributions and the rates of the reversed process determine each other. 2) Either all shift invariant stationary measures are Gibbs with the same potential or no shift invariant stationary Gibbs measure exist.Research supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science     

Some remarks on analytic continuation in weighted backward shift invariant subspaces

By a famous result of Douglas, Shapiro, and Shields, functions in backward shift invariant subspaces in Hardy spaces are characterized by the fact that they admit a pseudocontinuation outside the closed unit disk. More can be said when the spectrum of the associated inner function has holes on \mathbb T{{\mathbb T}}. Then the functions of the invariant subspaces even extend analytically through these holes. Here we will be interested in weighted backward shift invariant subspaces which appear naturally in the context of kernels of Toeplitz operators. Note that such kernels are special cases of so-called nearly invariant subspaces. In our setting a result by Aleksandrov allows to deduce analytic continuation properties which we will then apply to consider embeddings of weighted invariant subspaces into their unweighted companions. We hope that this connection might shed some new light on known results. We will also establish a link between the spectrum of the inner function and the approximate point spectrum of the backward shift in the weighted situation in the spirit of results by Aleman, Richter, and Ross.     

Lie group symmetries and Riemann function of Klein–Gordon–Fock equation with central symmetry

In the present paper Lie symmetry group method is applied to find new exact invariant solutions for Klein–Gordon–Fock equation with central symmetry. The found invariant solutions are important for testing finite-difference computational schemes of various boundary value problems of Klein–Gordon–Fock equation with central symmetry. The classical admitted symmetries of the equation are found. The infinitesimal symmetries of the equation are used to find the Riemann function constructively.     

Shift permutation invariance in linear random factor models

The objective of this paper is to consider shift invariance, a specific type of exchangeability, of random factors in linearmodels. The randomfactors are described via their covariance matrices and it is shown that shift invariance implies circular Toeplitz covariancematrices and marginally shift invariance implies block circular Toeplitz covariance matrices. In order to get interpretable linear models reparametrization is performed. It is shown that by putting restrictions on the spectrum of the shift invariant covariance matrices natural reparametrization conditions for the corresponding factors are obtained which then, among others, can be used to obtain unique parametrizations under shift invariance.      

Anisotropic dilations of shift‐invariant subspaces and approximation properties in

Let A be an expansive linear map in . Approximation properties of shift‐invariant subspaces of when they are dilated by integer powers of A are studied. Shift‐invariant subspaces providing approximation order α or density order α associated to A are characterized. These characterizations impose certain restrictions on the behavior of the spectral function at the origin expressed in terms of the concept of point of approximate continuity. The notions of approximation order and density order associated to an isotropic dilation turn out to coincide with the classical ones introduced by de Boor, DeVore and Ron. This is no longer true when A is anisotropic. In this case the A‐dilated shift‐invariant subspaces approximate the anisotropic Sobolev space associated to A and α. Our main results are also new when S is generated by translates of a single function. The obtained results are illustrated by some examples.

On entropy of dynamical systems with almost specification

We construct a family of shift spaces with almost specification and multiple measures of maximal entropy. This answers a question from Climenhaga and Thompson [Israel J. Math. 192 (2012), 785–817]. Elaborating on our examples we prove that sufficient conditions for every shift factor of a shift space to be intrinsically ergodic given by Climenhaga and Thompson are in some sense best possible; moreover, the weak specification property neither implies intrinsic ergodicity, nor follows from almost specification. We also construct a dynamical system with the weak specification property, which does not have the almost specification property. We prove that the minimal points are dense in the support of any invariant measure of a system with the almost specification property. Furthermore, if a system with almost specification has an invariant measure with non-trivial support, then it also has uniform positive entropy over the support of any invariant measure and cannot be minimal.     

Quasiaffinity and invariant subspaces

Special classes of intertwining transformations between Hilbert spaces are introduced and investigated, whose purposes are to provide partial answers to some classical questions on the existence of nontrivial invariant subspaces for operators acting on separable Hilbert spaces. The main result ensures that if an operator is \({{\mathcal D}}\)-intertwined to a normal operator, then it has a nontrivial invariant subspace.
