On totally geodesic affine immersions

In this paper, totally geodesic affine immersionsf: (M, ) are studied in the case when is an affine manifold of recurrent curvature. It is proved that(M, ) if flat or of recurrent curvature. And iff is additionally umbilical with the shape tensorA 0 and dimM 3, then(M, ) is locally projectively flat. Examples of such immersions are also stated.     

Extrapolation of transformations of random processes perturbed by white noise

We consider the problem of linear mean square optimal estimation of transformation of a stationary random process (t) in observations of process (t) + n(t) for t < – 0, where (t) is white noise uncorrelated with (t). We find least favorable spectral densities f₀() D and minimax (robust) spectral characteristics of an optimal estimator of transformation A for various classesD of densities.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 2, pp. 216–223, February, 1991.     

The Gaussian Isoperimetric Inequality and Transportation

Any probability measure on ^d which satisfies the Gaussian or exponential isoperimetric inequality fulfils a transportation inequality for a suitable cost function. Suppose that W (x) dx satisfies the Gaussian isoperimetric inequality: then a probability density function f with respect to W (x) dx has finite entropy, provided that t . This strengthens the quadratic logarithmic Sobolev inequality of Gross (Amr. J. Math 97 (1975) 1061). Let (dx) = e ^–(x) dx be a probability measure on ^d, where is uniformly convex. Talagrand's technique extends to monotone rearrangements in several dimensions (Talagrand, Geometric Funct. Anal. 6 (1996) 587), yielding a direct proof that satisfies a quadratic transportation inequality. The class of probability measures that satisfy a quadratic transportation inequality is stable under multiplication by logarithmically bounded Lipschitz densities.     

Elementary Abelian Covers of Graphs

Let _G (X) be the set of all (equivalence classes of) regular covering projections of a given connected graph X along which a given group G Aut X of automorphisms lifts. There is a natural lattice structure on _G (X), where _{1 2} whenever ₂ factors through ₁. The sublattice _G () of coverings which are below a given covering : X^~ X naturally corresponds to a lattice _G () of certain subgroups of the group of covering transformations. In order to study this correspondence, some general theorems regarding morphisms and decomposition of regular covering projections are proved. All theorems are stated and proved combinatorially in terms of voltage assignments, in order to facilitate computation in concrete applications.For a given prime p, let _G ^p (X) _G (X) denote the sublattice of all regular covering projections with an elementary abelian p-group of covering transformations. There is an algorithm which explicitly constructs _G ^p (X) in the sense that, for each member of _G ^p (X), a concrete voltage assignment on X which determines this covering up to equivalence, is generated. The algorithm uses the well known algebraic tools for finding invariant subspaces of a given linear representation of a group. To illustrate the method two nontrival examples are included.     

On finite element approximation of the gradient for solution of Poisson equation

Summary A nonconforming mixed finite element method is presented for approximation of w with w=f,w| _r =0. Convergence of the order is proved, when linear finite elements are used. Only the standard regularity assumption on triangulations is needed.     

Flat Affine Surfaces in \mathbb{R}^4 with Flat Normal Connection

In this paper we study nondegenerate affine surfaces in the 4-dimensional affine space . We assume that both the connection and the normal connection induced by the canonical equiaffine transversal bundle are flat. Surfaces with constant equiaffine transversal bundle are trivial examples of such surfaces. Here, we obtain a complete classification of all such surfaces which do not have constant equiaffine normal bundle.     

Asymptotic properties of local densities of measures generated by semimartingales

For families of probability measures (P , )) generated by semimartingales, we consider the local density)(y, )= _t (y, )) _t0 of a, measureP _y with respect to the measureP whose logarithm is the difference of a local martingale and a positive predictable increasing locally bounded process. Conditions are obtained under which the relations and hold, wherey _t depends in some way ont, while _t ast . Applications of these relations are exhibited and an example is given when the hypotheses of the theorems proved can be verified.Translated fromTeoriya Sluchaínykh Protsessov, Vol. 14, pp. 48–55, 1986.     

On Kolmogorov-Type Inequalities Taking into Account the Number of Changes in the Sign of Derivatives

For 2-periodic functions and arbitrary q [1, ] and p (0, ], we obtain the new exact Kolmogorov-type inequality which takes into account the number of changes in the sign of the derivatives (x ^(k)) over the period. Here, = (r – k + 1/q)/(r + 1/p), _r is the Euler perfect spline of degree r, and . The inequality indicated turns into the equality for functions of the form x(t) = a _r (nt + b), a, b R, n N. We also obtain an analog of this inequality in the case where k = 0 and q = and prove new exact Bernstein-type inequalities for trigonometric polynomials and splines.     

Signed Total Domination Nnumber of a Graph

The signed total domination number of a graph is a certain variant of the domination number. If is a vertex of a graph G, then N() is its oper neighbourhood, i.e. the set of all vertices adjacent to in G. A mapping f: V(G)-1, 1, where V(G) is the vertex set of G, is called a signed total dominating function (STDF) on G, if for each V(G). The minimum of values , taken over all STDF's of G, is called the signed total domination number of G and denoted by _st(G). A theorem stating lower bounds for _st(G) is stated for the case of regular graphs. The values of this number are found for complete graphs, circuits, complete bipartite graphs and graphs on n-side prisms. At the end it is proved that _st(G) is not bounded from below in general.
