A remark on the existence of entire large and bounded solutions to a (<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>)-Hessian system with gradient term

In this paper, we study the existence of positive entire large and bounded radial positive solutions for the following nonlinear system

$$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c}{S_{k_1 } \left( {\lambda \left( {D^2 u_1 } \right)} \right) + a_1 \left( {\left| x \right|} \right)\left| {\nabla u_1 } \right|^{k_1 } = p_1 \left( {\left| x \right|} \right)f_1 \left( {u_2 } \right)} & {for x \in \mathbb{R}^N ,} \\{S_{k_2 } \left( {\lambda \left( {D^2 u_2 } \right)} \right) + a_2 \left( {\left| x \right|} \right)\left| {\nabla u_2 } \right|^{k_2 } = p_2 \left( {\left| x \right|} \right)f_2 \left( {u_1 } \right)} & {for x \in \mathbb{R}^N .} \\\end{array} } \right.$$

Here \({S_{{k_i}}}\left( {\lambda \left( {{D^2}{u_i}} \right)} \right)\) is the k _i -Hessian operator, a ₁, p ₁, f ₁, a ₂, p ₂ and f ₂ are continuous functions.

     

Extraction of subsystems “Majorized” by the rademacher system

In this paper it is proved that from any uniformly bounded orthonormal system {f _n} _n=1 ^∞ of random variables defined on the probability space (Ω, ε, P), one can extract a subsystem {fni} _i ^{Emphasis>=1/∞} majorized in distribution by the Rademacher system on [0, 1]. This means that {

On the asymptotic convergence of sequences of analytic functions

We consider sequences {f _n } of analytic self mappings of a domain and the associated sequence {Θ _n } of inner compositions given by . The case of interest in this paper concerns sequences {f _n } that converge assymptotically to a function f, in the sense that for any sequence of integers {n _k } with n ₁ < n ₂ < ... one has that locally uniformly in Ω. Most of the discussion concerns the case where the asymptotic limit f is the identity function in Ω. Received: 16 December 2006

Chebyshev's inequalities for functions monotone in the mean

LetR be the reals ≥ 0. LetF be the set of mapsf: {1, 2, ?,n} →R. Choosew ∈ F withw _i = w(i) > 0. PutW _i = w₁ + ? + w_i. Givenf ∈ F, define \(\bar f\) ∈F by $$\bar f\left( i \right) = \frac{{\left\{ {w_i f\left( 1 \right) + \ldots + w_i f\left( i \right)} \right\}}}{{W_i }}.$$ Callf mean increasing if \(\bar f\) is increasing. Letf ₁, ?, f_t be mean decreasing andf _t+1,?: f_t+u be mean increasing. Put $$k = W_n^u \min \left\{ {w_i^{u - 1} W_i^{t - u} } \right\}.$$ Then $$k\mathop \sum \limits_{i = 1}^n w_i f_1 \left( i \right) \ldots f_{t + u} \left( i \right) \leqslant \mathop \prod \limits_{j = 1}^{t + u} (\mathop \sum \limits_{i = 1}^n w_i f_1 (i)).$$

Non-Uniformity and Generalised Sacks Splitting

We show that there do not exist computable functions f ₁(e, i), f ₂(e, i), g ₁(e, i), g ₂(e, i) such that for all e, i ∈ ω, (1) $ {\left( {W_{{f_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{f_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)}; $ (2) $ {\left( {W_{{g_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{g_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)}; $ (3) $ {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \not\leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{{f_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{f_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)} \oplus {\left( {W_{{g_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{g_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)}; $ (4) $ {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \not\leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{{f_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{f_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)}{\text{unless}}{\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\emptyset};{\text{and}} $ (5) $ {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{{g_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{g_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)}{\text{unless}}{\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\emptyset}. $ It follows that the splitting theorems of Sacks and Cooper cannot be combined uniformly.     

A property of the renewal counting process with application to the finite-time ruin probability

We consider the renewal counting process , where θ ₁ , θ ₂ ,… are nonnegative independent identically distributed nondegenerate random variables with finite mean. The asymptotics for the tail of the exponential moment are derived. The obtained results are applied to the finite-time ruin probability in a renewal risk model.     

On the regular summability of multiple function series and Lebesgue functions

Основной целью работ ы является обобщение одного результата Кратца и Т раутнера [4], известного для одном ерных функциональны х рядов, на кратные ряды. Этот рез ультат касается суммируемо сти функционального ряда почти всюду при слабых пред положениях. В частности, он примен им к суммируемости по Чезаро и по Риссу. Мы рассматриваемd-кр атный ряд $$\mathop \sum \limits_{k_1 = 0}^\infty \cdots \mathop \sum \limits_{k_d = 0}^\infty c_{k_1 ,...,k_d } f_{k_1 ,...,k_d } (x), \mathop \sum \limits_{k_1 = 0}^\infty \cdots \mathop \sum \limits_{k_d = 0}^\infty c_{k_1 ,...,k_d }^2< \infty $$ и предполагается, что функции \(f_{k_1 ,...,k_d } (x)\) интегрируе мы по пространству с полож ительной мерой и имеют почти вс юду ограниченные фун кции Лебега для метода суммирова ния Т. Метод Т определяетсяd-мерной матрицей \(T = \{ a_{m_1 ,...,m_d ;k_1 ,...,k_d } \} \) сл едующим образом: $$t_{m_1 ,...,m_d } (x) = \mathop \sum \limits_{k_1 = 0}^\infty \cdots \mathop \sum \limits_{k_d = 0}^\infty a_{m_1 ,...,m_d ;k_1 ,...,k_d } c_{k_1 ,...,k_d } f_{k_1 ,...,k_d } (x).$$ Эти средние существу ют, поскольку мы предп олагаем, что \(a_{m_1 ,...,m_d ;k_1 ,...,k_d } = 0\) ,если max(k ₁,...,k _d) достаточно вели к (в зависимости, конеч но, отm ₁,...,m _d). При некоторых дополнительных усло виях на матрицуТ (см. (7)– (9) в разделе 3) устанавлива ется почти всюду регулярная схо димость средних \(t_{m_1 ,...,m_d } (x) \user2{} \user2{(}m_1 \user2{,}...\user2{,}m_d \user2{)} \to \infty \) . Как вспомогательный результат, в работе об общается теорема Алексича [1] о сх одимости почти всюду некоторы х подпоследовательн остей частных сумм функцио нального ряда.     

Moments of a statistic caused by random combinations or random matings

Summary Given two sets of sizek, {α ₁...,α _k} and {β ₁...,β _k} there arek! possible combinations of these two , and suppose there is apriori given a number corresponding to the partnership (α ₁,β _j}.

Erdos-Ko-Rado Theorems of Labeled Sets

For k = (k1, ··· , kn) ∈ Nn, 1 ≤ k1 ≤···≤ kn, let Lkr be the family of labeled r-sets on k given by Lkr := {{(a1, la1), ··· , (ar, lar)} : {a1, ··· , ar} ■[n],lai ∈ [kai],i = 1, ··· , r}. A family A of labeled r-sets is intersecting if any two sets in A intersect. In this paper we give the sizes and structures of intersecting families of labeled r-sets.     

Integration and Lipschitz functions

The aim of the paper is to prove that every f ∈ L ¹([0,1]) is of the form f = , where j _n,k is the characteristic function of the interval [k- 1 / 2 ⁿ , k / 2 ⁿ ) and Σ _n=0^∞Σ _k=1²ⁿ |a _n,k | is arbitrarily close to ||f|| (Theorem 2). It is also shown that if μ is any probabilistic Borel measure on [0,1], then for any ɛ > 0 there exists a sequence (b _n,k ) _n≧0 ^k=1,...,2n of real numbers such that and for each Lipschitz function g: [0,1] → ℝ (Theorem 3).      

Constant-Sign Periodic and Almost Periodic Solutions for a System of Integral Equations

We consider the following system of integral equations $${u_{i}(t)=\int\nolimits_{I} g_{i}(t, s)f(s, u_{1}(s), u_{2}(s), \cdots, u_{n}(s))ds, \quad t \in I, \ 1 \leq i\leq n}$$ where I is an interval of $\mathbb{R}$ . Our aim is to establish criteria such that the above system has a constant-sign periodic and almost periodic solution (u ₁, u ₂,…,u _n ) when I is an infinite interval of $\mathbb{R}$ , and a constant-sign periodic solution when I is a finite interval of $\mathbb{R}$ . The above problem is also extended to that on $\mathbb{R}$ $$u_{i} {\left( t \right)} = {\int_\mathbb{R} {g_{i} {\left( {t,s} \right)}f_{i} {\left( {s,u_{1} {\left( s \right)},u_{2} {\left( s \right)}, \cdots ,u_{n} {\left( s \right)}} \right)}ds\quad t \in \mathbb{R},\quad 1 \leqslant i \leqslant n.} }$$

Convergence Analysis of Some Methods for Minimizing a Nonsmooth Convex Function

In this paper, we analyze a class of methods for minimizing a proper lower semicontinuous extended-valued convex function . Instead of the original objective function f, we employ a convex approximation f _{k + 1} at the kth iteration. Some global convergence rate estimates are obtained. We illustrate our approach by proposing (i) a new family of proximal point algorithms which possesses the global convergence rate estimate even it the iteration points are calculated approximately, where are the proximal parameters, and (ii) a variant proximal bundle method. Applications to stochastic programs are discussed.

For 1≤m≤n let =Σ_|I|=m f _IX_I. LetT _ɛ (f)=Σf _Iɛ^|I| X _I where 0<ɛ<1 is a constant. A hypercontractive inequality, proven by Bonami and independently by Beckner, states that
