Two-Sided Optimal Bounds for Green Functions of Half-Spaces for Relativistic <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>-Stable Process

The purpose of this paper is to find optimal estimates for the Green function of a half-space of the relativistic α -stable process with parameter m on ℝ ^d space. This process has an infinitesimal generator of the form mI–(m ^2/α I–Δ) ^α/2, where 0<α<2, m>0, and reduces to the isotropic α-stable process for m=0. Its potential theory for open bounded sets has been well developed throughout the recent years however almost nothing was known about the behaviour of the process on unbounded sets. The present paper is intended to fill this gap and we provide two-sided sharp estimates for the Green function for a half-space. As a byproduct we obtain some improvements of the estimates known for bounded sets. Our approach combines the recent results obtained in Byczkowski et al. (Bessel Potentials, Hitting Distributions and Green Functions (2006) (preprint). ), where an explicit integral formula for the m-resolvent of a half-space was found, with estimates of the transition densities for the killed process on exiting a half-space. The main result states that the Green function is comparable with the Green function for the Brownian motion if the points are away from the boundary of a half-space and their distance is greater than one. On the other hand for the remaining points the Green function is somehow related the Green function for the isotropic α-stable process. For example, for d≥3, it is comparable with the Green function for the isotropic α-stable process, provided that the points are close enough. Research supported by KBN Grants.

A blow-up result in a Cauchy viscoelastic problem

In this work we consider a Cauchy problem for a nonlinear viscoelastic equation. Under suitable conditions on the initial data and the relaxation function, we prove a finite-time blow-up result.     

Iterative operator-splitting methods with higher-order time integration methods and applications for parabolic partial differential equations

In this paper we design higher-order time integrators for systems of stiff ordinary differential equations. We combine implicit Runge–Kutta and BDF methods with iterative operator-splitting methods to obtain higher-order methods. The idea of decoupling each complicated operator in simpler operators with an adapted time scale allows to solve the problems more efficiently. We compare our new methods with the higher-order fractional-stepping Runge–Kutta methods, developed for stiff ordinary differential equations. The benefit is the individual handling of each operator with adapted standard higher-order time integrators. The methods are applied to equations for convection–diffusion reactions and we obtain higher-order results. Finally we discuss the applications of the iterative operator-splitting methods to multi-dimensional and multi-physical problems.     

ESTIMATION FOR THE ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE DELAYED COMPETITION MODEL

In ecological dynamic systems, the competition between species is a very universal phenomenon, which can be described by the well-known Volterra-Lotka model in a diffusion form. Noticing that the living space usually changes in a seasonal manner and the population development of the species may also undergo time-delay im- pact, a developed form of this model is investigated in this article. The main approaches employed here are the upper-lower solution method and the energy-estimate technique. The results show that whether the species may sustain survival or not depends on the relations among the birth rate, the death rate, the competition rate, the diffusivity and the time delay. For the survival case, the population evolutions of the two species may appear asymptotic periodicity with distinct upper bound and this bound depends heavily on the time delay. These results can be also checked by the intuitionistic numerical simulations.     

Cross-validation and the smoothing of orthogonal series density estimators

We describe a class of smoothed orthogonal series density estimates, including the classical sequential-series introduced by [6], Soviet Math. Dokl. 3 1559–1562) and [16], Ann. Math. Statist. 38 1261–1265), and [23], Ann. Statist 9 146–156) two-parameter smoothing. The Bowman-Rudemo method of least-squares cross-validation (1982, Manchester-Sheffield School of Probability and Statistics Research Report 84/AWB/1; 1984, Biometrika 71 353–360; [14], Scand. J. Statist. 9 65–78), is suggested as a practical way of choosing smoothing parameters automatically. Using techniques of [18], Ann. Statist. 12 1285–1297), that method is shown to perform asymptotically optimally in the case of cosine and Hermite series estimators. The same argument may be used for other types of series.     

A numerical study of the phase structure of the q-state generalization of the hard-square model

An investigation is made of how a recently foundq-state generalization of the hard-square model fits into a more general phase diagram. The investigation is done by Monte Carlo and series expansion methods. Evidence is presented that the one-dimensional manifold of parameters along which the model is exactly solvable represents a line of first-order phase transitions.

Brownian Chen series and Atiyah-Singer theorem

The purpose of this work is to give a new and short proof of the Atiyah-Singer local index theorem for the Dirac operator on the spin bundle. This proof is obtained by using heat semigroups approximations based on the truncation of Brownian Chen series.     

Colour symmetry double point groups

Thirty four distinct composition series arising out of the 32 crystallographic double point groups are employed to re-derive in a simple and elegant fashion all the 169 distinct colour symmetry groups generated by the 32 double point groups, exploiting the idea of colour generators. The advantage of the method employed and some possible applications of these colour groups are discussed. The resulting colour groups are tabulated.
