On the product of the distances of a point from the vertices of a polytope

Letx ₁,...,x _m be points in the solid unit sphere ofE _n and letx belong to the convex hull ofx ₁,...,x _m. Then . This implies that all such products are bounded by (2/m) ^m (m −1) ^m−1. Bounds are also given for other normed linear spaces. As an application a bound is obtained for |p(z ₀)| where andp′(z ₀)=0.     

Convergence of simultaneous Hermite-Padé approximants to then-tuple ofq-hypergeometric series\{ {}_1\Phi _1 (_{(c,\gamma _j )}^{(1,1)} ;z)\} _{j = 1}^n

We investigate the convergence of simultaneous Hermite-Padé approximants to then-tuple of power series $$f_i (z) = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {C_k^{(i)} z^k ,} i = 1,2,...,n,$$ where $$C_0^{(i)} = 1;C_k^{(i)} = \prod\limits_{p = 0}^{k - 1} {\frac{1}{{(C - q^{\gamma i + p} )}},} k \ge 1.$$ HereC, q∈?, γ _i ∈?,i=1, 2,...,n. For |C|≠1, ifq=e^iθ, θ∈(0, 2π) and θ/2π is irrational, eachf _i (z),i=1,...,n, has a natural boundary on its circle of convergence. We show that “close-to-diagonal” and other sequences of Hermite-Padé approximants converge in capacity to (f ₁(z),..., f_n (z)) inside the common circle of convergence of eachf _i (z),i=1,...,n.

It is proved thatS(b)=∂Δ if and only if , the Douglas algebra generated by . Also, it is proved thatdθ(S(b))=0 if and only if there exists an interpolating Blaschke productB such that .     

Estimates for Sums of Coefficients of Dirichlet Series with Functional Equation

Suppose we have a Dirichlet series L(s) = _{n = 1} a _n n ^–s such that it, and its twists by Dirichlet characters have analytic continuation and a functional equation of a specific kind. Suppose also that the root numbers of the twists are equidistributed on the unit circle. The purpose of this note is to get an estimate for the quantity for a prime modulus p.We use a modification of the method of Chandrasekharan and Narasimhan and we use in an essential way a Rankin-Selberg type estimate for the average of |a _n|².

Ranges of certain functionals in classes of regular functions

LetP _κ,n (λ,β) be the class of functions \(g(z) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{v = n}^\infty {c_\gamma z^v }\) , regular in ¦z¦<1 and satisfying the condition $$\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {\operatorname{Re} \left[ {e^{i\lambda } g(z) - \beta \cos \lambda } \right]} \right|} /\left( {1 - \beta } \right)\cos \lambda \left| {d\theta \leqslant \kappa \pi ,} \right.z = re^{i\theta } ,$$ , 0 < r < 1 (κ?2,n?1, 0?Β<1, -π<λ<π/2;M _κ,n (λ,β,α),n?2, is the class of functions \(f(z) = z + \sum\nolimits_{v = n}^\infty {a_v z^v }\) , regular in¦z¦<1 and such thatF _α(z)∈P _κ,n?1(λ,β), where \(F_\alpha (z) = (1 - \alpha )\frac{{zf'(z)}}{{f(z)}} + \alpha (1 + \frac{{zf'(z)}}{{f'(z)}})\) (0?α?1). Onr considers the problem regarding the range of the system {g ^(v?1)(z_?)/(v?1)!}, ?=1,2,...,m,v=1,2,...,N _?, on the classP _κ,1(λ,β). On the classesP _κ,n (λ,β),M _κ,n (λ,β,α) one finds the ranges of C_v, v?n, a_m, n?m?2n-2, and ofg(?),F _?(?), 0<¦ξ¦<1, ξ is fixed.     

Rows and diagonals of the Walsh array for entire functions with smooth Maclaurin series coefficients

Let \(f(z): = \sum\nolimits_{j = 0}^\infty {a_j z^J } \) be entire, witha _j≠0,j large enough, \(\lim _{J \to \infty } a_{j + 1} /a_J = 0\) , and, for someq∈C, \(q_j : = a_{j - 1} a_{j + 1} /a_j^2 \to q\) asj→∞. LetE _mn(f; r) denote the error in best rational approximation off in the uniform norm on |z‖≤r, by rational functions of type (m, n). We study the behavior ofE _mn(f; r) asm and/orn→∞. For example, whenq above is not a root of unity, or whenq is a root of unity, butq _m has a certain asymptotic expansion asm→∞, then we show that, for each fixed positive integern, ,m→∞. In particular, this applies to the Mittag-Leffler functions \(f(z): = \sum\nolimits_{j = 0}^\infty {z^j /\Gamma (1 + j/\lambda )} \) and to \(f(z): = \sum\nolimits_{j = 0}^\infty {z^j /(j!)^{I/\lambda } } \) , λ>0. When |q‖<1, we also handle the diagonal case, showing, for example, that ,n→∞. Under mild additional conditions, we show that we can replace 1+0(1) ⁿ by 1+0(1). In all cases we show that the poles of the best approximants approach ∞ asm→∞.

We study the properties of the limit function of the sequence Q_n(z) in the case when $$f(z) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{z^n }}{{P(1)P(2)...P(n)}}} ,$$ . where P(z) is a polynomial having at least one negative integral root.

On construction ofk-wise independent random variables

A 0–1probability space is a probability space (, 2,P), where the sample space -{0, 1} ⁿ for somen. A probability space isk-wise independent if, whenY _i is defined to be theith coordinate or the randomn-vector, then any subset ofk of theY _i 's is (mutually) independent, and it is said to be a probability spacefor p ₁,p ₂, ...,p _n ifP[Y _i =1]=p _i .We study constructions ofk-wise independent 0–1 probability spaces in which thep _i 's are arbitrary. It was known that for anyp ₁,p ₂, ...,p _n , ak-wise independent probability space of size always exists. We prove that for somep ₁,p ₂, ...,p _n [0,1],m(n,k) is a lower bound on the size of anyk-wise independent 0–1 probability space. For each fixedk, we prove that everyk-wise independent 0–1 probability space when eachp _i =k/n has size (n _k ). For a very large degree of independence —k=[n], for >1/2- and allp _i =1/2, we prove a lower bound on the size of . We also give explicit constructions ofk-wise independent 0–1 probability spaces.This author was supported in part by NSF grant CCR 9107349.This research was supported in part by the Israel Science Foundation administered by the lsrael Academy of Science and Humanities and by a grant of the Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology.     

Transcendence of the values of infinite products in several variables

The aim of this paper is to prove the transcendence of certain infinite products. As applications, we get necessary and sufficient conditions for transcendence of the value of $\Pi_{k=0}^{\infty}(1+a_{k}^{(1)}{z_{1}r^{k}}+\cdot\cdot\cdot+a_{k}^{(m)}{z_{m}r^{k}})$ at appropriate algebraic points, where r ≥ 2 is an integer and {a_n ⁽ⁱ⁾}_{n≥ 0} (1 ≤ i ≤ m) are suitable sequences of algebraic numbers.     

Composition operators on the Lipschitz space in polydiscs

Let Un be the unit polydisc of Cn and φ= (φ1,...,φn? a holomorphic self-map of Un. Let 0≤α< 1. This paper shows that the composition operator Cφ, is bounded on the Lipschitz space Lipa(Un) if and only if there exists M > 0 such thatfor z∈Un. Moreover Cφ is compact on Lipa(Un) if and only if Cφ is bounded on Lipa(Un) and for every ε > 0, there exists a δ > 0 such that whenever dist(φ(z),σUn) <δ     

On the H p -L q boundedness of some fractional integral operators

Let A ₁, …, A _m be n × n real matrices such that for each 1 ? i ? m, A _i is invertible and A _i ? A _j is invertible for i ≠ j. In this paper we study integral operators of the form $$Tf(x) = \int {{k_1}(x - {A_{1y}}){k_2}(x - {A_{2y}}) \ldots {k_m}(x - {A_{my}})f(y){\rm{d}}y}$$ ${k_i}(y) = \sum\limits_{j \in z} {{2^{jn/{q_i}}}} \varphi i,j({2^j}y),1 \le {q_i} < \infty ,1/{q_1} + 1/q + ... + 1/q = 1 - r,0 \le r < 1, and \varphi i,j$ satisfying suitable regularity conditions. We obtain the boundedness of T: H ^p (? ⁿ ) → L ^q (? ⁿ ) for 0 < p < 1/r and 1/q = 1/p-r. We also show that we can not expect the H ^p -H ^q boundedness of this kind of operators.

On higher heine-stieltjes polynomials

Take a linear ordinary differential operator $\mathfrak{d}\left( z \right) = \sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^k {Q_i \left( z \right)\frac{{d^i }} {{dz^i }}}$\mathfrak{d}\left( z \right) = \sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^k {Q_i \left( z \right)\frac{{d^i }} {{dz^i }}} with polynomial coefficients and set r = max _i=1,…,k(deg Q _i (z) − i). If d(z) satisfies the conditions: (i) r ≥ 0 and (ii) deg Q _k (z) = k + r, we call it a non-degenerate higher Lamé operator. Following the classical examples of E. Heine and T. Stieltjes we initiated in [13] the study of the following multiparameter spectral problem: for each positive integer n find polynomials V (z) of degree at most r such that the equation
