Mixing and some integro-functional equations

Summary It is proved that the operatorP: L ¹ (0, ) L ¹(0, ), given byPg(z) = _z/c [g(x)/cx]dx, is completely mixing, i.e.,P ⁿ g ₁ 0 forg L ¹(0, ) with g dx = 0. This implies that, forc (0, 1), each continuous and bounded solution of the equationf(x)= ₀ ^cx f(t)dt/(cx) (x (0, 1]) is constant.     

Cohomological characterization of pseudoconvexity in a Banach space

Let X be a Banach space with a countable unconditional basis (e.g., X=₂), X open. We show that is pseudoconvex if and only if for each affine complex line L in X the sheaf cohomology group H ¹ (,I) vanishes, where I is the ideal sheaf of all holomorphic functions on that vanish on L. We also give an example that the condition H ^q (,)=0 for all q1 unlike in finite dimensions does not imply the pseudoconvexity of . Lastly, we prove an interpolation result.

Sur certaines algèbres associées à une mesure de Guelfand

Let be a Guelfand measure (cf. [A, B]) on a locally compact groupG DenoteL ₁ (G)=*L ₁(G)* the commutative Banach algebra associated to . We show thatL ₁ (G) is semi-simple and give a characterization of the closed ideals ofL ₁ (G). Using the -spherical Fourier transform, we characterize all linear bounded operators inL ₁ (G) which are invariants by -translations (i.e. such that ¹(( _x f) )=( _x ((f)) for eachxG andfL ₁ (G); where _x f(y)=f(xy); x,y G). WhenG is compact, we study the algebraL ₁ (G) and obtain results analogous to ones obtained for the commutative case: we show thatL ₁ (G) is regular, all closed sets of its Guelfand spectrum are sets of synthesis and establish theorems of harmonic synthesis for functions inL _p (G) (p=1,2 or +).

Spreads admitting elliptic regulizations

Throughout this paper, the underlying projective space is 3-dimensional and Pappian. A spreadL admits aregulization , if is a collection of reguli contained inL and if each element ofL, except at most two lines, is contained either in exactly one regulus of or in all reguli of . Replacement of each regulus of by its complementary regulus (exceptional lines remain unchanged) produces thecomplementry congruence L ^c of L with respect to . IfL ^c is an elliptic linear congruence of lines, then we call anelliptic regulization. Applying a method due to Thas and Walker we construct topological spreads of PG(3,) which admit one elliptic and no further regulization. For each of these spreads we determine the group of automorphic collineations. Among others we obtain also spreads which are the complete intersection of a general linear complex of lines and of a cubic complex of lines.In conclusion, I would like to thank H. H{upavlicek} (Vienna) for valuable suggestions in the preparation of this article.     

On the Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of the Sturm--Liouville Operator with a Singular Potential

In this paper we consider the Sturm--Liouville operators generated by the differential expression -y+q(x)y and by Dirichlet boundary conditions on the closed interval [0,]. Here q(x) is a distribution of first order,, i.e., q(x)dx L ₂[0,]. Asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of such operators which depend on the smoothness degree of q(x) are obtained.     

Algebraic polynomial bases of space LP

Let (_n) be a system, close to the orthonormal complete system (x _n). An estimate is obtained for the deviation of the system {f_n}, obtained from {_n} by Schmidt's method, from the system {x_n}. This estimate is used to show that, in any L_P(–1,1), withp (1,4/3] [4,), and for any >e¦4 = i,13..., there exists an orthogonal algebraic system (P _n (x)) _n=0 , forming a basis in L_P and such that _n = degP _n (x) n for n>n_o(p,).Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 223–230, February, 1978.     

Staircase kernels for orthogonald-polytopes

LetS be a finite union of boxes inR ^d . Forx inS, defineA _x ={yx is clearly visible fromy via staircase paths inS}, and let KerS denote the staircase kernel ofS. Then KerS={A _x x is a point of local nonconvexity ofS}. A similar result holds with clearly visible replaced by visible and points of local nonconvexity ofS replaced by boundary points ofS.Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9207019.     

Compact sets in the spaceL p (O,T; B)

Summary A characterization of compact sets in L^p (0, T; B) is given, where 1P and B is a Banach space. For the existence of solutions in nonlinear boundary value problems by the compactness method, the point is to obtain compactness in a space L^p (0,T; B) from estimates with values in some spaces X, Y or B where XBY with compact imbedding XB. Using the present characterization for this kind of situations, sufficient conditions for compactness are given with optimal parameters. As an example, it is proved that if {f_n} is bounded in L^q(0,T; B) and in L _loc ¹ (0, T; X) and if {f_n/t} is bounded in L _loc ¹ (0, T; Y) then {f_n} is relatively compact in L^p(0,T; B), p相似文献   

Large-Deviation Local Theorem for Additive Functionals of a Markov Gaussian Field. I

We prove a local limit theorem (LLT) on Cramer-type large deviations for sums S _V = _t V ( _t ), where _t , t Z , 1, is a Markov Gaussian random field, V Z , and is a bounded Borel function. We get an estimate from below for the variance of S _V and construct two classes of functions , for which the LLT of large deviations holds.     

The Laplacian with Robin Boundary Conditions on Arbitrary Domains

Using a capacity approach, we prove in this article that it is always possible to define a realization of the Laplacian on L ²() with generalized Robin boundary conditions where is an arbitrary open subset of R ⁿ and is a Borel measure on the boundary of . This operator generates a sub-Markovian C ₀-semigroup on L ²(). If d=d where is a strictly positive bounded Borel measurable function defined on the boundary and the (n–1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure on , we show that the semigroup generated by the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions has always Gaussian estimates with modified exponents. We also obtain that the spectrum of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions in L ^p () is independent of p[1,). Our approach constitutes an alternative way to Daners who considers the (n–1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary. In particular, it allows us to construct a conterexample disproving Daners' closability conjecture.     

Unipotent Brauer Character Values of GL(n, \mathbb{F}_q ) and the Forgotten Basis of the Hall Algebra

We give a formula for the values of irreducible unipotent p-modular Brauer characters of at unipotent elements, where p is a prime not dividing q, in terms of (unknown!) weight multiplicities of quantum GL _n and certain generic polynomials S _,(q). These polynomials arise as entries of the transition matrix between the renormalized Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions and the forgotten symmetric functions. We also provide an alternative combinatorial algorithm working in the Hall algebra for computing S _,(q).     

Zeros of the densities of infinitely divisible measures on R n

Let be an infinitely divisible probability measure onR ⁿ without Gaussian component and let be its Lévy measure. Suppose that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure . We investigate the structure of the set ⁿ of admissible translates of . This yields a unified presentation of previously known results. We also show that if(S)>0 then is equivalent to , under the assumption that supp =R ⁿ , whereS is the closure of the semigroup generated by the support of .The research of this author is supported by KBN Grant.The research of this author is supported by AFSOR Grant No. 90-0168, and the University of Tennessee Science Alliance, a State of Tennessee Center of Excellence.     

ExplicitN-polynomials of 2-power degree over finite fields,I

For an odd prime powerq the infinite field GF(q ² )= _n0 GF (q ²ⁿ ) is explicitly presented by a sequence (f _n)₁ ofN-polynomials. This means that, for a suitably chosen initial polynomialf ₁, the defining polynomialsf _nGF(q)[x] of degrees2 ⁿ are constructed by iteration of the transformation of variablexx+1/x and have linearly independent roots over GF(q). In addition, the sequences are trace-compatible in the sense that the relative traces map the corresponding roots onto each other. In this first paper the caseq1 (mod 4) is considered and the caseq3 (mod 4) will be dealt with in a second paper. This specific construction solves a problem raised by A. Scheerhorn in [11].

A general minimax theorem

This paper is concerned with minimax theorems for two-person zero-sum games (X, Y, f) with payofff and as main result the minimax equality inf supf (x, y)=sup inff (x, y) is obtained under a new condition onf. This condition is based on the concept of averaging functions, i.e. real-valued functions defined on some subset of the plane with min {x, y}< (x, y)x, y} forx y and (x, x)=x. After establishing some simple facts on averaging functions, we prove a minimax theorem for payoffsf with the following property: Forf there exist averaging functions and such that for any x₁, x₂ X, > 0 there exists x₀ X withf (x₀, y) > f (x₁,y),f (x₂,y))– for ally Y, and for any y₁, y₂ Y, > 0 there exists y₀ Y withf (x, y₀) (f (x, y₁),f (x, y₂))+. This result contains as a special case the Fan-König result for concave-convex-like payoffs in a general version, when we take linear averaging with (x, y)=x+(1–)y, (x, y)=x+(1–)y, 0 <, < 1.Then a class of hide-and-seek games is introduced, and we derive conditions for applying the minimax result of this paper.

Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden Minimaxsätze für Zwei-Personen-Nullsummenspiele (X, Y,f) mit Auszahlungsfunktionf behandelt, und als Hauptresultat wird die Gültigkeit der Minimaxgleichung inf supf (x, y)=sup inff (x, y) unter einer neuen Bedingung an f nachgewiesen. Diese Bedingung basiert auf dem Konzept mittelnder Funktionen, d.h. reellwertiger Funktionen, welche auf einer Teilmenge der Ebene definiert sind und dort der Eigenschaft min {x, y} < < (x, y)x, y} fürx y, (x, x)=x, genügen. Nach der Herleitung einiger einfacher Aussagen über mittelnde Funktionen beweisen wir einen Minimaxsatz für Auszahlungsfunktionenf mit folgender Eigenschaft: Zuf existieren mittelnde Funktionen und, so daß zu beliebigen x₁, x₂ X, > 0 mindestens ein x₀ X existiert mitf (x₀,y) (f (x ₁,y),f (x₂,y)) – für alley Y und zu beliebigen y₁, y₂ Y, > 0 mindestens ein y₀ Y existiert mitf (x, y₀) (f (x, y₁),f (x, y ₂))+ für allex X. Dieses Resultat enthält als Spezialfall den Fan-König'schen Minimaxsatz für konkav-konvev-ähnliche Auszahlungsfunktionen in einer allgemeinen Version, wenn wir lineare Mittelung mit (x, y)=x+(1–)y, (x, y)= x+(1–)y, 0 <, < 1, betrachten.Es wird eine Klasse von Suchspielen eingeführt, welche mit dem vorstehenden Resultat behandelt werden können.

     

Flocks of a quadratic cone in PG(3, q), q ≤ 8

If (O) is a quadratic cone in PG(3,q), with vertex x, then a flock of (O) is a partition of (O)-{x} into q disjoint conics. With such a flock there correspond a translation plane of order q ² and a generalized quadrangle of order (q ², q). Here we determine all flocks of (O) for q 8.
