Integer-valued characteristics of solutions of the noncommutative sigma model

Any finite-energy solution of a noncommutative sigma model has three nonnegative integer-valued characteristics: the normalized energy e(Φ), canonical rank r(Φ), and minimum uniton number u(Φ). We prove that r(Φ) ≥ u(Φ) and e(Φ) ≥ u(Φ)(u(Φ) + 1)/2. Given any numbers e, r, u ∈ ? that satisfy the slightly stronger inequalities r ≥ u and e ≥ r +u(u ? 1)/2, we construct a finite-energy solution Φ with e(Φ) = e, r(Φ) = r, and u(Φ) = u.     

Frequency-Domain Bounds for Nonnegative,Unsharply Band-Limited Functions

In this paper we present a technique for proving bounds of the Boas-Kac-Lukosz type for unsharply restricted functions with nonnegative Fourier transforms. Hence we consider functions F(x) ≥ 0, the Fourier transform f(u) of which satisfies |f(u)| ≤ ε for all u in a subset of (-∞,-1] ⋃ [1,∞), and are interested in bounds on |f(u)| for |u| ≤ 1. This technique gives rise to several "epsilonized" versions of the Boas-Kac-Lukosz bound (which deals with the case f(u) = 0, |u| ≥ 1). For instance, we find that |f(u)| ≤ L(u) + O(ε^2/3), where L(u) is the Boas-Kac-Lukosz bound, and show by means of an example that this version is the sharpest possible with respect to its behaviour as a function of ε as ε ↓ 0. The technique also turns out to be sufficiently powerful to yield the best bound as ε ↓ 0 in various other cases with less severe restrictions on f.

The region of values of a system of functionals in the class of typically real functions

Let T_R be the class of functions that are regular and typically real in the disk E={z:⋱z⋱<1}. For this class, the region of values of the system {f(z₀), f(r)} for z₀ ∈ ℝ, r∈(-1,1) is studied. The sets D_r={f(z₀):f∈T_R, f(r)=a} for −1≤r≤1 and Δ_r={(c₂, c₃): f ∈ T_R, −f(−r)=a} for 0<r≤1 are found, where aε(r(1+r)⁻², r(1−r)⁻²) is an arbitrary fixed number. Bibliography: 11 titles.

The Buchstab’s function and the operational Tau Method

In this article we discuss some aspects of operational Tau Method on delay differential equations and then we apply this method on the differential delay equation defined byw(u) = 1/u for 1 ≤u ≤ 2 and(uw(u))′ = w(u-1) foru ≥ 2, which was introduced by Buchstab. As Khajah et al.[l] applied the Recursive Tau Method on this problem, they had to apply that Method under theMathematica software to get reasonable accuracy. We present very good results obtained just by applying the Operational Tau Method using a Fortran code. The results show that we can obtain as much accuracy as is allowed by the Fortran compiler and the machine-limitations. The easy applications and reported results concerning the Operational Tau are again confirming the numerical capabilities of this Method to handle problems in different applications.     

A Variational ODE and its Application to an Elliptic Problem

In this paper,we consider the following ODE problem(P)where f ∈ C((0, ∞)×R,R),f(r,s)goes to p(r)and q(r)uniformly in r>0 as s→0 and s→ ∞,respectively,0≤p(r)≤q(r)∈ L~∞(0,∞).Moreover,for r>0,f(r,s)is nondecreasing in s≥0.Some existenceand non-existence of positive solutions to problem(P)are proved without assuming that p(r)≡0 and q(r)hasa limit at infinity.Based on these results,we get the existence of positive solutions for an elliptic problem.     

Noncommutative Grassmannian <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>(1) sigma model and a Bargmann-Fock space

We consider a Grassmannian version of the noncommutative U(1) sigma model specified by the energy functional E(P) = ‖[a, P]‖ _HS ² , where P is an orthogonal projection operator in a Hilbert space H and a: H → H is the standard annihilation operator. With H realized as a Bargmann-Fock space, we describe all solutions with a one-dimensional range and prove that the operator [a, P] is densely defined in H for a certain class of projection operators P with infinite-dimensional ranges and kernels. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 153, No. 3, pp. 347–357, December, 2007.     

Global Existence of Solutions for the Cauchy Problem of the Kawahara Equation with L 2 Initial Data

In this paper we study solvability of the Cauchy problem of the Kawahara equation 偏导dtu ＋ au偏导dzu ＋ β偏导d^3xu ＋γ偏导d^5xu = 0 with L^2 initial data. By working on the Bourgain space X^r,s（R^2） associated with this equation, we prove that the Cauchy problem of the Kawahara equation is locally solvable if initial data belong to H^r（R） and -1 〈 r ≤ 0. This result combined with the energy conservation law of the Kawahara equation yields that global solutions exist if initial data belong to L^2（R）.     

Noncommutative unitons

By Uhlenbeck’s results, every harmonic map from the Riemann sphere S² to the unitary group U(n) decomposes into a product of so-called unitons: special maps from S² to the Grassmannians Gr _k(ℂⁿ) ⊂ U(n) satisfying certain systems of first-order differential equations. We construct a noncommutative analogue of this factorization, applicable to those solutions of the noncommutative unitary sigma model that are finite-dimensional perturbations of zero-energy solutions. In particular, we prove that the energy of each such solution is an integer multiple of 8π, give examples of solutions that are not equivalent to Grassmannian solutions, and study the realization of non-Grassmannian zero modes of the Hessian of the energy functional by directions tangent to the moduli space of solutions. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 154, No. 2, pp. 220–239, February, 2008.     

Coefficient multipliers of mixed norm space in the ball

In the paper, we characterize the coefficient multiplier spaces of mixed norm spaces (H _p,q (φ₁), H _u,v (φ₂)) for the values of p, q, u, v in three cases: (i) 0 < p ≤ u ≤ ∞, 0 < q ≤ min(1, v) ≤ ∞. (ii) v = ∞, 0 < p ≤ u ≤ ∞, 1 ≤ u, q ≤ ∞. (iii) 1 ≤ v ≤ 2 ≤ q ≤ ∞, and 0 < p ≤ u ≤ ∞ or 1 ≤ p, u ≤ ∞. The first case extends the result of Blasco, Jevtić, and Pavlović in one variable. The third case generalizes partly the results of Jevtić, Jovanović, and Wojtaszczyk to higher dimensions. Dedicated to Professor Sheng GONG on the occasion of his 75th birthday

Existence Results for Superlinear Elliptic Equations with Nonlinear Boundary Value Conditions

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for the following superlinear elliptic equation with nonlinear boundary value condition $$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - \Delta u + u = {{\left| u \right|}^{r - 2}}u}&{in\;\Omega ,\;\;} \\ {\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial v}} = {{\left| u \right|}^{q - 2}}u}&{on\;\partial \Omega ,} \end{array}} \right.$$ where Ω ⊂ ℝN, N ≥ 3 is a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We will prove the existence results for the above equation under four different cases: (i) Both q and r are subcritical; (ii) r is critical and q is subcritical; (iii) r is subcritical and q is critical; (iv) Both q and r are critical.     

A generalization of Simpson's Rule

Let and let , where P _c ⁿ denoles the Taylor polynomial to f at c of order n, where n is even. TA and TM are reach generalizations of the Trapezoidal rule and the midpoint rule, respectively, and are each exact for all polynomials of degree ≤n+1. We let L(f)=αTM(f)+(1−α)TA(f), where , to obtain a numerical integration rule L which is exact for all polynomials of degree≤n+3 (see Theorem 1). The case n=0 is just the classical Simpson's rule. We analyze in some detail the case n=2, where our formulae appear to be new. By replacing P _(a+b) ^2/n+1 (x) by the Hermite cubic interpolant at a and b, we obtain some known formulae by a different approach (see [1] and [2]). Finally we discuss some nonlinear numerical integration rules obtained by taking piecewise polynomials of odd degree, each piece being the Taylor polynomial of f at a and b, respectively. Of course all of our formulae can be compounded over subintervals of [a,b].     

A nodal basis of Cμ-rational spline functions on triangulations

Let ρ be a triangulation of a polygonal domain D⊂R² with vertices V={v_i:l≤i≤N_v} and RS^k(D, ρ)={u∈C^k(D): ≠ T∈ρ, u/_T is a rational function}. The purpose of this paper is to study the existence and construction of C^μ-rational spline functions on any triangulation ρ for CAGD. The Hermite problem H^μ(V,U)={find u∈U: D^αu(v_i)=D^αf(v_i),|α|≤μ} is solved by the generalized wedge function method in rational spline function family, i.e. U=RS^μ. this solution needs only the knowledge of partial derivatives of order≤μ at v_i. The explicit repesentations of all C^μ-GWF(generalized wedge functions)and the interpolating operator with degree of precision at least 2μ+1 for any triangulation are given.     

A Cauchy problem for the heat equation

Summary Let u(x, t) satisfy the heat equation in 0<x<1, 0<t≤T. Let u(x, 0)=0 for 0<x<1 and let |u(0, t)|<ε, | u_x(0, t) |<ε, and | u(1, t) |<M for 0≤t≤T. Then, , where M₁ and β(x) are given explicitly by simple formulas. The application of the a priori bound to obtain error estimates for a numerical solution of the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with u(x, 0)=h(x), u(0, t)=f(t), and u_x(0, t)=g(t) is discussed.

Factorization and symplectic uniton numbers for harmonic maps into symplectic groups

It is proved that any harmonic map ϕ : Ω →Sp(N) from a simply connected domain Ω ⊆R ²⋃ | ∞ | into the symplectic groupSp(N) ⊂U(2N) with finite uniton number can be factorized into a product of a finite number of symplectic unitons. Based on this factorization, it is proved that the minimal symplectic uniton number of ϕ is not larger thanN, and the minimal uniton number of ϕ is not larger than 2N - 1. The latter has been shown in literature in a quite different way.
