On limit points of Laplacian spectral radii of graphs

The study of limit points of eigenvalues of adjacency matrices of graphs was initiated by Hoffman [A.J. Hoffman, On limit points of spectral radii of non-negative symmetric integral matrices, in: Y. Alavi et al. (Eds.), Lecture Notes Math., vol. 303, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, 1972, pp. 165-172]. There he described all of the limit points of the largest eigenvalue of adjacency matrices of graphs that are no more than . In this paper, we investigate limit points of Laplacian spectral radii of graphs. The result is obtained: Let , β₀=1 and be the largest positive root of

     

A supplement to precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm

Let be a sequence of real-valued i.i.d. random variables with E(X)=0 and E(X²)=1, and set , n?1. This paper studies the precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm. For example, using a result on convergence rates for probabilities of moderate deviations for obtained by Li et al. [Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 15 (1992) 481-497], we prove that, for every b∈(−1/2,1],

     

Formation of delta shocks and vacuum states in the vanishing pressure limit of Riemann solutions to the perturbed Aw-Rascle model

A traffic flow model describing the formation and dynamics of traffic jams was introduced by Berthelin et al., which consists of a constrained pressureless gas dynamics system and can be derived from the Aw-Rascle model under the constraint condition ρ?ρ^? by letting the traffic pressure vanish. In this paper, we give up this constraint condition and consider the following form

Analytic mappings between noncommutative pencil balls

In this paper, we analyze problems involving matrix variables for which we use a noncommutative algebra setting. To be more specific, we use a class of functions (called NC analytic functions) defined by power series in noncommuting variables and evaluate these functions on sets of matrices of all dimensions; we call such situations dimension-free. These types of functions have recently been used in the study of dimension-free linear system engineering problems (Helton et al. (2009) [10], de Oliviera et al. (2009) [8]). In the earlier paper (Helton et al. (2009) [9]) we characterized NC analytic maps that send dimension-free matrix balls to dimension-free matrix balls and carry the boundary to the boundary; such maps we call “NC ball maps”. In this paper we turn to a more general dimension-free ball BL, called a “pencil ball”, associated with a homogeneous linear pencil

RELATIONS BETWEEN PACKING PREMEASURE AND MEASURE ON METRIC SPACE

Let X be a metric space andμa finite Borel measure on X. Let pμq,t and pμq,t be the packing premeasure and the packing measure on X, respectively, defined by the gauge (μB(x,r))q(2r)t, where q, t∈R. For any compact set E of finite packing premeasure the authors prove: (1) if q≤0 then pμq,t(E)=pμq,t(E);(2)if q>0 andμis doubling on E then pμq,t(E) and pμq,t(E) are both zero or neither.

DECAY ESTIMATES OF PLANAR STATIONARY WAVES FOR DAMED WAVE EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR CONVECTION IN MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HALF SPACE

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for damped wave equations with a nonlinear convection term in the multi-dimensional half space R n + : u tt u + u t + divf (u) = 0, t > 0, x = (x 1 , x ′ ) ∈ R n + := R + × R n 1 , u(0, x) = u 0 (x) → u + , as x 1 → + ∞ , u t (0, x) = u 1 (x), u(t, 0, x ′ ) = u b , x ′ = (x 2 , x 3 , ··· , x n ) ∈ R n 1 . (I) For the non-degenerate case f ′ 1 (u + ) < 0, it was shown in [10] that the above initialboundary value problem (I) admits a unique global solution u(t, x) which converges to the corresponding planar stationary wave φ(x 1 ) uniformly in x 1 ∈ R + as time tends to infinity provided that the initial perturbation and/or the strength of the stationary wave are sufficiently small. And in [10] Ueda, Nakamura, and Kawashima proved the algebraic decay estimates of the tangential derivatives of the solution u(t, x) for t → + ∞ by using the space-time weighted energy method initiated by Kawashima and Matsumura [5] and improved by Nishihkawa [7]. Moreover, by using the same weighted energy method, an additional algebraic convergence rate in the normal direction was obtained by assuming that the initial perturbation decays algebraically. We note, however, that the analysis in [10] relies heavily on the assumption that f ′ (u) < 0. The main purpose of this paper isdevoted to discussing the case of f ′ 1 (u b ) ≥ 0 and we show that similar results still hold for such a case. Our analysis is based on some delicate energy estimates.     

Stationary twists and energy minimizers on a space of measure preserving maps

Let be a bounded Lipschitz domain, a suitably quasiconvex integrand and consider the energy functional

over the space of measure preserving maps

In this paper we discuss the question of existence of multiple strong local minimizers for over . Moreover, motivated by their significance in topology and the study of mapping class groups, we consider a class of maps, referred to as twists, and examine them in connection with the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equations and investigate various qualitative properties of the resulting solutions, the stationary twists. Particular attention is paid to the special case of the so-called p-Dirichlet energy, i.e., when .
