Über eine Verallgemeinerung der Nicoletti-Aufgabe für Funktional-Differentialgleichungen mit voreilendem Argument

We consider a functional differential equation (1) (t)=F(t,) fort[0,+) together with a generalized Nicoletti condition (2)H()=. The functionF: [0,+)×C ⁰[0,+)B is given (whereB denotes the Banach space) and the value ofF (t, ) may depend on the values of (t) fort[0,+);H: C ⁰[0,+)B is a given linear operator and B. Under suitable assumptions we show that when the solution :[0,+)B satisfies a certain growth condition, then there exists exactly one solution of the problem (1), (2).     

Sur la répartition des valeurs de la fonction d'Euler

Let (x) denote the number of those integers n with (n) x, where denotes the Euler function. Improving on a well-known estimate of Bateman (1972), we show that (x)-Ax R(x), where A=(2)(3)/(6) and R(x) is essentially of the size of the best available estimate for the remainder term in the prime number theorem.     

Einschließungsaussagen für gewöhnliche Differentialoperatoren

Summary For differential operatorsM of second order (as defined in (1.1)) we describe a method to prove Range-Domain implications—Mu–u and an algorithm to construct these functions , , , . This method has been especially developed for application to non-inverse-positive differential operators. For example, for non-negativea ₂ and for given functions = we require =C ₀[0, 1] C ₂([0, 1]–T) whereT is some finite set), (M) (t)(t), (t[0, 1]–T) and certain additional conditions for eachtT. Such Range-Domain implications can be used to obtain a numerical error estimation for the solution of a boundary value problemMu=r; further, we use them to guarantee the existence of a solution of nonlinear boundary value problems between the bounds- and .     

Complemented subspaces of sums and products of banach spaces

Summary We prove that, when X is one of the Banach spaces l^p (1p ) or c₀, then every infinite-dimensional complemented subspace of X^N (resp. X^(N)) is isomorphic to one of the following spaces: (, X, × X, X^N (resp. , X, X, X^(N)). Therefore, X^N and X^(N) are primary. We also give some consequences and related results.The second author acknowledges partial support from the Italian Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione.     

Asymptote of the eigenvalues of a completely continuous operator

It is proved that if(x) is the majorant of the s-numbers of a completely continuous operator A (i.e.,'(x)- 0, S_n(A) (n)) and if there are found numbers [0, 1] and r₀ > 0 such that r⁰ (r)/(r) will be monotonic in (r₀,), then for some > 0,((x) will be a majorant of the eigenvalues of A.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 487–492, October, 1973.     

On an isomorphism problem on the closed-set lattice of a graph

Let (G) and V(G) be, respectively, the closed-set lattice and the vertex set of a graph G. Any lattice isomorphism : V(G)(G) induces a bijection : V(G)V(G) such that for each x in V(G), (x)=x' in V(G') iff ({x})={x'}. A graph G is strongly sensitive if for any graph G' and any lattice isomorphism : (G)(G), the bijection induced by is a graph isomorphism of G onto G'. In this paper we present some sufficient conditions for graphs to be strongly sensitive and prove in particular that all C ₄-free graphs and all covering graphs of finite lattices are strongly sensitive.

Infinitesimal obstructions to weakly mixing

Let ^t be the flow (parametrized with respect to arc length) of a smooth unit vector field v on a closed Riemannian manifold M ⁿ , whose orbits are geodesics. Then the (n-1)-plane field normal to v, v, is invariant under d ^t and, for each x M, we define a smooth real function _x (t) : (1 + _i (t)), where the _i(t) are the eigenvalues of AA ^T, A being the matrix (with respect to orthonormal bases) of the non-singular linear map d^2t , restricted to v at the point _x ^-t M ⁿ.Among other things, we prove the Theorem (Theorem II, below). Assume v is also volume preserving and that _x ^' (t) 0 for all x M and real t; then, if _x ^t : M M is weakly missng for some t, it is necessary that vx 0 at all x M.     

A Selection Theorem for Strongly Regular Multivalued Mappings

We prove the following generalization of a theorem of Ferry concerning selections of strongly regular multivalued maps onto the class of paracompact spaces: Let : X (Z, ) be a map of a paracompact space X into a metric space (Z, ) whose values (x) are complete subspaces of Z and absolute extensors (AE), for every x X. Suppose that can be represented as = , where : X Y is a continuous singlevalued map of X onto some finite-dimensional paracompact space Y and : Y (Z, ) is a strongly regular map. Then for every closed subset A X and every selection r : A Z of the map |A : A Z, there exists an extension : X Z of r such that is a selection of the map . We also prove a local version of this theorem.     

Factorization intok-dimensional linear bijections

LetV be a vector space,k withkdimV andS _k{GL(V)|dimV(–1)=k}. ThenS _k generates GL _f (V){GL(V)|V(-1) is finite-dimensional} (with the exception that dimV=2=k and the field is GF2). We study the length problem in GL _f (V) withS _k as set of generators.     

Modified critical behavior in the ϕ4(O n ) model

In the standard ⁴(O _n ) model, a critical regime in which the coupling constantg of the ⁴ decreases as a certain given power as T-T _c0 is considered. From the point of view of physics, such a formulation of the problem corresponds to a certain class of trajectories of approach to the triple point in the two-dimensional plane of the physical parameters of the system. It is shown that in such a modified critical regime all the critical dimensions can be expressed in terms of the specified value of the exponent and the ordinary critical dimensions of the ⁴ model known in the form of 4- expansions.Leningrad State University.

Best approximations of continuous functions by spline functions

An investigation of the approximation on [0, 1] of functionsf (x) by spline functions s(f,; x) of degree 2r-1 and of deficiency r (r>1) depending on the vector function = ₁ (x),..., _r-1(x) and interpolatingf (x) at fixed points. For the optimal choice of the vector ₀, exact estimates are obtained of the norms f(x)-s (f, ₀; x)_C[0,1] and f (x)-s (f, ₀; x)_{L[0, 1]} on the function classes H Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 8, No. 1, pp. 41–46, July, 1970.In conclusion we would like to thank N.

It is proved that for anyf(x, y) L(R), where R=[-,,-, ], a function (x, y), exists such that ¦(x, y) ¦=¦f(x, y) ¦ for almost all (x, y) R. The Fourier series of the function (x, y) and all conjugate trigonometric series are A^*-summable almost everywhere.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 145–150, February, 1972.     

Nonnegative Hall Polynomials

The number of subgroups of type and cotype in a finite abelian p-group of type is a polynomialg with integral coefficients. We prove g has nonnegative coefficients for all partitions and if and only if no two parts of differ by more than one. Necessity follows from a few simple facts about Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions; sufficiency relies on properties of certain order-preserving surjections that associate to each subgroup a vector dominated componentwise by . The nonzero components of (H) are the parts of , the type of H; if no two parts of differ by more than one, the nonzero components of – (H) are the parts of , the cotype of H. In fact, we provide an order-theoretic characterization of those isomorphism types of finite abelian p-groups all of whose Hall polynomials have nonnegative coefficients.

Let be a submultiplicative function on a locally compact group G and let S be a convolution semigroup on G with Lévy measure . It is shown that the measures of S integrate if and only if integrates outside some neighbourhood of the identity of G (Theorem 1). Moreover if (X(t);t0) is the G-valued process with independent increments associated with the semigroup S it is shown that the measures of S integrate if and only if the random variable sup { (X(t)):0t1} is integrable (Theorem 2).
