On the addition of convex sets in the hyperbolic plane

Analogue to the definition $K + L := \bigcup_{x\in K}(x + L)$ of the Minkowski addition in the euclidean geometry it is proposed to define the (noncommutative) addition $K \vdash L := \bigcup_{0\, \leqsl\, \rho\,\leqsl\, a(\varphi),0\,\leqsl\,\varphi\,<\, 2\pi}T_{\rho}^{(\varphi)}(L)$ for compact, convex and smoothly bounded sets K and L in the hyperbolic plane $\Omega$ (Kleins model). Here $\rho = a(\varphi)$ is the representation of the boundary $\partial$ K in geodesic polar coordinates and $T_{\rho}^{(\varphi)}$ is the hyperbolic translation of $\Omega$ of length $\rho$ along the line through the origin o of direction $\varphi$. In general this addition does not preserve convexity but nevertheless we may prove as main results: (1) $o \in$ int $K, o \in$ int L and K,L horocyclic convex imply the strict convexity of $K \vdash L$, and (2) in this case there exists a hyperbolic mixed volume $V_h(K,L)$ of K and L which has a representation by a suitable integral over the unit circle.     

Interpolation theorems for a family of spanning subgraphs

Let G be a graph with order p, size q and component number . For each i between p – and q, let be the family of spanning i-edge subgraphs of G with exactly components. For an integer-valued graphical invariant if H H is an adjacent edge transformation (AET) implies |(H)-(H^')|1 then is said to be continuous with respect to AET. Similarly define the continuity of with respect to simple edge transformation (SET). Let M _j() and m _j() be the invariants defined by . It is proved that both M _p–() and m _p–(;) interpolate over , if is continuous with respect to AET, and that M _j() and m _j() interpolate over , if is continuous with respect to SET. In this way a lot of known interpolation results, including a theorem due to Schuster etc., are generalized.     

Almost Integer Translates. Do Nice Generators Exist?

It has been shown earlier by the first author that for any nonzero perturbation of the integers $\lambda_n=n+o(1), \lambda_n\ne n$, there is a \textit{generator,} that is a function $\varphi\in L^2(\mathbf{R})$ such that the system of translates $\{\varphi(x-\lambda_n)\}$ is complete in $L^2(\mathbf{R})$. We ask if $\varphi$ can be chosen with fast decay. We prove that in general it cannot. On the other hand, if the perturbations are quasianalytically small, than it can, and this decay restriction is sharp. A certain class of complex measures which we call shrinkable is introduced, and it is shown that the zeros sets of such measures do dot admit generators with fast decay.     

The Laplacian with Wentzell-Robin Boundary Conditions on Spaces of Continuous Functions

Under the assumption $\memb$ C() with $\geq$ 0 , we prove that generates a differentiable positive contraction semigroup on $C(\bar{\Omega})$ and study some monotonicity properties and the asymptotic behaviour.     

Blow-up criterion for 2-D Boussinesq equations in bounded domain

We extend the results for 2-D Boussinesq equations from ℝ² to a bounded domain Ω. First, as for the existence of weak solutions, we transform Boussinesq equations to a nonlinear evolution equation U _t + A(t, U) = 0. In stead of using the methods of fundamental solutions in the case of entire ℝ², we study the qualities of F(u, υ) = (u · ▽)υ to get some useful estimates for A(t, U), which helps us to conclude the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of solutions. Second, as for blow-up criterions, we use energy methods, Sobolev inequalities and Gronwall inequality to control and by and . Furthermore, can control by using vorticity transportation equations. At last, can control . Thus, we can find a blow-up criterion in the form of .      

M-estimators of structural parameters in pseudolinear models

Real valued M-estimators in a statistical model 1 with observations are replaced by -valued M-estimators in a new model with observations where are regressors, is a structural parameter and a structural function of the new model. Sufficient conditions for the consistency of are derived, motivated by the sufficiency conditions for the simpler parent estimator The result is a general method of consistent estimation in a class of nonlinear (pseudolinear) statistical problems. If F has a natural exponential density e^{x–b( x )} then our pseudolinear model with u = (g o )^–1 reduces to the well known generalized linear model, provided () = db()/d and g is the so-called link function of the generalized linear model. General results are illustrated for special pairs and leading to some classical M-estimators of mathematical statistics, as well as to a new class of generalized -quantile estimators.     

Asymptotic properties of the likelihood ratio of independent observations

For observations of independent random quantities in the series scheme we study the asymptotic behavior of the logarithm of the likelihood ratio. We find conditions for it to be asymptotically infinitely divisible. and in the parametric case we find for it the decomposition in which () is a random variable converging in distribution to an infinitely divisible law with zero mean, finite dispersion, and Kolmogorov function foru in some subset of the real axis, while _n (u; )0 in probability.Translated fromTeoriya Sluchaínykh Protsessov, Vol. 14, pp. 76–83, 1986.

A Comparison of Methods for Estimating the Extremal Index

The extremal index, (01), is the key parameter when extending discussions of the limiting behavior of the extreme values from independent and identically distributed sequences to stationary sequences. As measures the limiting dependence of exceedances over a threshold u, as u tends to the upper endpoint of the distribution, it may not always be informative about the extremal dependence at levels of practical interest. Therefore we also consider a threshold-based extremal index, (u). We compare the performance of a range of different estimators for and (u) covering processes with < 1 and = 1. We find that the established methods for estimating actually estimate (u), so perform well only when (u) . For Markov processes, we introduce an estimator which is as good as the established methods when (u) but provides an improvement when (u) < = 1. We illustrate our methods using simulated data and daily rainfall measurements.

An Erdős-Révész type law of the iterated logarithm for stationary Gaussian processes

Summary Let {X(t),t 0} be a stationary Gaussian process withEX(t)=0,EX ²(t)=1 and covariance function satisfying (i)r(t) = 1 2212;C |t | + o (|t|)ast0 for someC>0, 0<2; (ii)r(t)=0(t ^–2) as t for some >0 and (iii) sup_ts|r(t)|<1 for eachs>0. Put (t)= sup {s:0 s t,X(s) (2logs)^1/2}. The law of the iterated logarithm implies a.s. This paper gives the lower bound of (t) and obtains an Erds-Rèvèsz type LIL, i.e., a.s. if 0<<2 and .

Majorants and Extreme Points of Unit Balls in Bernstein Spaces

The Bernstein space B ^p () (1 $$ " align="middle" border="0"> 0) is the set of functions from L ^p( ) having Fourier transforms (in the sense of generalized functions) with supports in the compact segment [- , ]. Every function f has an analytic continuation onto the complex plane, which is an entire function of exponential type . The spaces B ^p ()\, are conjugate Banach spaces. Therefore, the closed unit ball in B ^p () has a rich set of extreme (boundary) points: coincides with the weakly ^* closed convex hull of its extreme points. Since, for 1< p< , B ^p () is a uniformly convex space, only the balls and have nontrivially arranged sets of extreme points. In this paper, in terms of zeros of entire functions, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of extremeness for functions from .

Noncommutative Valuation Rings of the Quotient Artinian Ring of a Skew Polynomial Ring

Let R be a Dubrovin valuation ring of a simple Artinian ring Q and let Q[X,] be the skew polynomial ring over Q in an indeterminate X, where is an automorphism of Q. Consider the natural map from Q[X,]_XQ[X,] to Q, where Q[X,]_XQ[X,] is the localization of Q[X,] at the maximal ideal XQ[X,] and set , the complete inverse image of R by . It is shown that is a Dubrovin valuation ring of Q(X,) (the quotient ring of Q[X,]) and it is characterized in terms of X and Q. In the case where R is an invariant valuation ring, the given automorphism is classified into five types, in order to study the structure of (the value group of ). It is shown that there is a commutative valuation ring R with automorphism which belongs to each type and which makes Abelian or non-Abelian. Furthermore, some examples are used to show that several ideal-theoretic properties of a Dubrovin valuation ring of Q with finite dimension over its center, do not necessarily hold in the case where Q is infinite-dimensional.
