A Note on Polynomially Growing C<Subscript>0</Subscript>-Semigroups

We characterize polynomial growth of a C₀-semigroup in terms of the first power of the resolvent of its generator. We do this for a class of semigroups which includes C₀-semigroups on Hilbert spaces and analytic semigroups on Banach spaces. Furthermore, we characterize polynomial growth for discrete semigroups.     

A resolvent approach to the stability of essential and critical spectra of perturbed <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>-semigroups on Hilbert spaces with applications to transport theory

We give sufficient conditions in terms of resolvents implying the stability of the essential or critical spectra of perturbed C₀-semigroups on Hilbert spaces. We also show how these results apply to transport theory.     

Modulus Semigroups and Perturbation Classes for Linear Delay Equations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper we study C₀-semigroups on X × L_p( − h, 0; X) associated with linear differential equations with delay, where X is a Banach space. In the case that X is a Banach lattice with order continuous norm, we describe the associated modulus semigroup, under minimal assumptions on the delay operator. Moreover, we present a new class of delay operators for which the delay equation is well-posed for p in a subinterval of [1,∞). Dedicated to the memory of H. H. Schaefer     

Interpolation of operators of weak type (ϕ<Subscript>0</Subscript>, ψ<Subscript>0</Subscript>, ϕ<Subscript>1</Subscript>, ψ<Subscript>1</Subscript>) in Lorentz spaces

We prove theorems on interpolation of quasilinear operators of weak type (ϕ₀, ψ₀, ϕ₀, ψ₁) in Lorentz spaces. The operators under study are analogs of the Calderón operator and the Benett operator for concave and convex functions ϕ₀(t), ψ₀(t), ϕ₁(t), and ψ₁(t). __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 57, No. 11, pp. 1490–1507, November, 2005.     

Cone characterization of Grothendieck spaces and Banach spaces containing <Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>

In this article we study the embeddability of cones in a Banach space X. First we prove that c ₀ is embeddable in X if and only if its positive cone c₀⁺{c_0^+} is embeddable in X and we study some properties of Banach spaces containing c ₀ in the light of this result. So, unlike with the positive cone of ℓ ₁ which is embeddable in any non-reflexive space, c₀⁺{c_0^+} has the same behavior as the whole space c ₀. In the second part of this article we give a characterization of Grothendieck spaces X according to the geometry of cones of X*. By these results we give a partial positive answer to a problem of J.H. Qiu concerning the geometry of cones.     

The Exceptional Compact Symmetric Spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">SO</Emphasis>(4) as Tubes

In the present paper we discuss in detail the cohomogeneity one isometric actions of the Lie groups SU(3) × SU(3) and SU(3) on the exceptional compact symmetric spaces G₂ and G₂/SO(4), respectively. We show that the principal orbits coincide with the tubular hypersurfaces around the totally geodesic singular orbits, and the symmetric spaces G₂ and G₂/SO(4) can be thought of as compact tubes around SU(3) and P², respectively. Moreover, we determine the radii of these tubes and describe the shape operators of the principal orbits. Finally, we apply these results to compute the volumes of the two symmetric spaces.The author was partially supported by the Hungarian National Science and Research Foundation OTKA T032478.     

Uniqueness of unconditional bases in nonlocally convex c<Subscript>0</Subscript>-products

We show that the c ₀-product (X ⊕ X ⊕ ... ⊕ X ⊕ ...)₀ of a natural quasi-Banach space X with strongly absolute unconditional basis has a unique unconditional basis up to permutation. Our results apply to a wide range of cases, including most of the c ₀-products of the nonlocally convex classical quasi-Banach spaces.     

Free <Emphasis Type="Bold">C</Emphasis><Subscript>+</Subscript>-actions on <Emphasis Type="Bold">C</Emphasis><Superscript>3</Superscript> are translations

Let X be a smooth contractible three-dimensional affine algebraic variety with a free algebraic C₊-action on it such that S=X//C₊ is smooth. We prove that X is isomorphic to S×C and the action is induced by a translation on the second factor. As a consequence we show that any free algebraic C₊-action on C³ is a translation in a suitable coordinate system.     

Finite termination of a dual Newton method for convex best <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">1</Emphasis></Superscript> interpolation and smoothing

Summary. Given the data (x _i ,y _i )², which are in convex position, the problem is to choose the convex best C ¹ interpolant with the smallest mean square second derivative among all admissible cubic C ¹ -splines on the grid. This problem can be efficiently solved by its dual program, developed by Schmdit and his collaborators in a series of papers. The Newton method remains the core of their suggested numerical scheme. It is observed through numerical experiments that the method terminates in a small number of steps and its total computational complexity is only of O(n). The purpose of this paper is to establish theoretical justification for the Newton method. In fact, we are able to prove its finite termination under a mild condition, and on the other hand, we illustrate that the Newton method may fail if the condition is violated, consistent with what is numerically observed for the Newton method. Corresponding results are also obtained for convex smoothing.

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">(S)</Emphasis><Stack><Subscript>+</Subscript><Superscript>1</Superscript></Stack>Condition for Generalized Vector Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we extend the (S) ₊ ¹ condition to multivalued mappings in an ordered Hausdorff topological vector space and we derive some existence results for generalized vector variational inequalities associated with multivalued mappings satisfying the (S) ₊ ¹ condition. We generalize also an existence result of Cubiotti and Yao for generalized variational inequalities of class (S) ₊ ¹ to barreled normed spaces. As consequences, some existence results for vector variational inequalities are established.This work was partially supported by grants from the National Science Council of the Republic of China.

An Isomorphic Version of Nakano’s Characterisation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>(Σ)

In 1941 Nakano gave a characterisation of real spaces C₀(Σ) as M-spaces satisfying an additional restriction on their norm. We give an isomorphic version of Nakano’s result which involves showing that for any Banach lattice (a suitably modified version of) Nakano’s condition is equivalent to the norm on the Dedekind completion being Fatou.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-distribution semigroups and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-ultradistribution semigroups in locally convex spaces

The main purpose of this paper is to study C-distribution semigroups and C-ultradistribution semigroups in the setting of sequentially complete locally convex spaces. We provide a few important theoretical novelties in this field and some interesting examples. Under consideration are stationary dense operators in a sequentially complete locally convex space.

Geometric dual formulation for first-derivative-based univariate cubic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> splines

With the objective of generating “shape-preserving” smooth interpolating curves that represent data with abrupt changes in magnitude and/or knot spacing, we study a class of first-derivative-based -smooth univariate cubic L ₁ splines. An L ₁ spline minimizes the L ₁ norm of the difference between the first-order derivative of the spline and the local divided difference of the data. Calculating the coefficients of an L ₁ spline is a nonsmooth non-linear convex program. Via Fenchel’s conjugate transformation, the geometric dual program is a smooth convex program with a linear objective function and convex cubic constraints. The dual-to-primal transformation is accomplished by solving a linear program.

We establish a Morris type recurrence formula for the root system C_n. Next we introduce cyclage graphs for the corresponding Kashiwara-Nakashimas tableaux and use them to define a charge statistic. Finally we conjecture that this charge may be used to compute the Kostka-Foulkes polynomials for type C_n.

In the criterion for polynomial denseness in the space C _w ⁰ established by de Branges in 1959, we replace the requirement of the existence of an entire function by an equivalent requirement of the existence of a polynomial sequence. We introduce the notion of strict compactness of polynomial sets and establish sufficient conditions for a polynomial family to possess this property. __________ Translated from Ukrains'kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 57, No. 3, pp. 305–319, March, 2005.

For an Azumaya algebra A with center C of rank n ² and a unitary involution τ, we study the stability of the unitary SK₁ under reduction. We show that if R = C ^τ is a Henselian ring with maximal ideal \mathfrakm{\mathfrak{m}} and 2 and n are invertible in R then SK₁(A, t) @ SK₁(A/ \mathfrakm A, overline t){{{\rm SK}_1}(A, \tau) \cong {{\rm SK}_1}(A/ \mathfrak{m} A, overline \tau)}.
