Asymptotic Behavior of Sobolev-Type Orthogonal Polynomials on a Rectifiable Jordan Curve or Arc

Our object of study is the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to the discrete Sobolev inner product <formula> \langle f, g \rangle = ∈t_{E} f(ξ) \overline{g(ξ)} ρ(ξ) |d ξ|+ f(Z) A g(Z)^H, </formula> where E is a rectifiable Jordan curve or arc in the complex plane f(Z) = (f(z_1), \ldots, f^{(l_1)}(z_1) , \ldots , f(z_m) , \ldots ,f^{(l_m)}(z_m)), A is an M \times M Hermitian matrix, M l ₁ + ⋅s + l _m + m , |d ξ| denotes the arc length measure, ρ is a nonnegative function on E , and z _i ∈Ω, i=1,2,\ldots,m , where Ω is the exterior region to E .

一种构造正交小波基的新方法

本文给出了构造正交小波基的一种新的方法,主要是通过改造钟形函数来构造有具体表达式的小波母函数,在光滑性,局部性等性质上优于一般的构造方法,其收敛于零的阶数可达到O(|t|~(-N)),N≥4。而且更进一步在S空间上构造出收敛更快的小波母函数。

A remark on the Kochen-Specker theorem and some characterizations of the determinant on sets of Hermitian matrices

In this paper we describe the general forms of all (nonlinear) continuous functionals on the sets of positive definite, positive semi-definite and Hermitian matrices which are multiplicative on the commuting elements. As a consequence, we obtain some new characterizations of the determinant on those classes of matrices.

Tree-edges deletion problems with bounded diameter obstruction sets

We study the following problem: given a tree G and a finite set of trees H, find a subset O of the edges of G such that G-O does not contain a subtree isomorphic to a tree from H, and O has minimum cardinality. We give sharp boundaries on the tractability of this problem: the problem is polynomial when all the trees in H have diameter at most 5, while it is NP-hard when all the trees in H have diameter at most 6. We also show that the problem is polynomial when every tree in H has at most one vertex with degree more than 2, while it is NP-hard when the trees in H can have two such vertices.The polynomial-time algorithms use a variation of a known technique for solving graph problems. While the standard technique is based on defining an equivalence relation on graphs, we define a quasiorder. This new variation might be useful for giving more efficient algorithm for other graph problems.     

Grassmann manifold of aJH-algebra

We study the set of rankp idempotents in a topologically simple Hilbert Jordan algebra (JH-algebra for short). To produce the differential geometric structure on, we establish Jordan algebraic results concerning the structure of some two-generator subalgebras. We identify geodesics, the Riemannian distance and the sectional curvature of by using the Jordan algebraic structure.     

Some remarks on the modulus of continuity of a conformal mapping of the disk onto a Jordan domain

Letd(;z, t) be the smallest diameter of the arcs of a Jordan curve with endsz andt. Consider the rapidity of decreasing ofd(;)=sup{d(;z, t):z, t , ¦z–t¦} (as 0,0) as a measure of nicety of . Letg(x) (x0) be a continuous and nondecreasing function such thatg(x)x,g(0)=0. Put¯g(x)=g(x)+x, h(x)=(¯g(x))². LetH(x) be an arbitrary primitive of 1/h ^–1(x). Note that the functionH ^–1 x is positive and increasing on (–, +),H ^–1 0 asx– andH ^–1+ asx +. The following statement is proved in the paper.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 60, No. 2, pp. 176–184, August, 1996.This research was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grant No. 93-01-00236 and by the International Science Foundation under grant No. NCF000.     

On quadratic forms of height two and a theorem of Wadsworth

Let and be anisotropic quadratic forms over a field of characteristic not . Their function fields and are said to be equivalent (over ) if and are isotropic. We consider the case where and is divisible by an -fold Pfister form. We determine those forms for which becomes isotropic over if , and provide partial results for . These results imply that if and are equivalent and , then is similar to over . This together with already known results yields that if is of height and degree or , and if , then and are equivalent iff and are isomorphic over .
