On Uniform Approximation in R2 of Continuous Functions of Two Variables with Bounded Variation in the Sense of Hardy

Introduce the notation: $\mathbb{Z}$ is the set of integers, $\bar {\mathbb{Z}}={\mathbb{Z}} \cup \{-\infty, +\infty\},{\mathbb{R}}_+^2 =\{x=(x_1,x_2) \in {\mathbb{R}}^2; x_1>0,x_2>0\}$ , $g_{k,m} (x,\alpha,h)= \int\limits_0^1 {g_1 (\frac{(k+u)h_1 - x_1}{\alpha_1})g_2(\frac{(m+u)h_2 - x_2}{\alpha_2})}du$ , where $g_i :\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R},x \in \mathbb{R}^2 ,\alpha ,h \in \mathbb{R}_ + ^2 $ . Under certain conditions on the functions g ₁, g ₂, we prove that the system of functions $g_{k,m} (x,\alpha^(n), h^(n)) (k,m \in \bar {\mathbb{Z}})$ , where $\alpha ^{\left( n \right)} ,h^{\left( n \right)} \in \mathbb{R}_ + ^2 $ are arbitrary infinitesimal sequences, is complete in the space C $\mathbb{R}^2 $ of uniformly continuous bounded functions f equipped with the norm $||f|| = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{x \in \mathbb{R}^2 } |f(x)|$ . Starting with the functions g _k,m , it is possible to construct a method for uniform approximating in $\mathbb{R}^2 $ any continuous function of bounded variation in the sense of Hardy. An error estimate is derived in terms of the second order moduli of continuity. Based on the obtained results, we discuss in detail the accuracy of uniform approximation of functions of several variables by linear functions. The error estimates are derived by using second order moduli of continuity. We pay a particular attention to sharpness of constants. Bibliography: 8 titles.     

Maximal, potential and singular operators in vanishing generalized Morrey spaces

We introduce vanishing generalized Morrey spaces ${V\mathcal{L}^{p,\varphi}_\Pi (\Omega), \Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n}$ with a general function ${\varphi(x, r)}$ defining the Morrey-type norm. Here ${\Pi \subseteq \Omega}$ is an arbitrary subset in Ω including the extremal cases ${\Pi = \{x_0\}, x_0 \in \Omega}$ and Π = Ω, which allows to unify vanishing local and global Morrey spaces. In the spaces ${V\mathcal{L}^{p,\varphi}_\Pi (\mathbb{R}^n)}$ we prove the boundedness of a class of sublinear singular operators, which includes Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and Calderon-Zygmund singular operators with standard kernel. We also prove a Sobolev-Spanne type ${V\mathcal{L}^{p,\varphi}_\Pi (\mathbb{R}^n) \rightarrow V\mathcal{L}^{q,\varphi^\frac{q}{p}}_\Pi (\mathbb{R}^n)}$ -theorem for the potential operator I ^α . The conditions for the boundedness are given in terms of Zygmund-type integral inequalities on ${\varphi(x, r)}$ . No monotonicity type condition is imposed on ${\varphi(x, r)}$ . In case ${\varphi}$ has quasi- monotone properties, as a consequence of the main results, the conditions of the boundedness are also given in terms of the Matuszeska-Orlicz indices of the function ${\varphi}$ . The proofs are based on pointwise estimates of the modulars defining the vanishing spaces     

On the integrability of radial basis functions

In this paper we investigate the integrability of certain radial basis functions. From the following forms of function σ, $$\varphi \left( r \right) = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{d + [a]} {c_k r^{a - k} + g(r) } r > A, \hfill \\ \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{d + [a]} {c_k r^{a - k} \ln r + g(r), } r > A. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ where A≧0 and $g \circ || \circ || \in L^1 \left( {R^d } \right)$ , we construct the function $$\psi (t) = \sum\limits_{j \in J} {a_j \varphi \left( {||t - t_j ||} \right),} $$ where J is a finite index set, $\left\{ {a_j } \right\}_{j \in J} \subseteq R$ and $\left\{ {t_j } \right\}_{j \in J} \subseteq R^d $ . We show that if $\hat \psi $ is continuous at the origin, the ψ is integrable in R^d.     

On 1-isometries of affine quadrics over finite fields

Letq be a regular quadratic form on a vector space (V, $\mathbb{F}$ ) and assume $4 \leqslant dim V \leqslant \infty \wedge |\mathbb{F}| \in \mathbb{N}$ . A 1-isometry of the central quadric $\mathcal{F}: = \{ x \in V|q(x) = 1\}$ is a permutation ? of $\mathcal{F}$ such that (*) $$q(x - y) = \nu \Leftrightarrow q(x^\varphi - y^\varphi ) = \nu \forall x,y \in \mathcal{F}$$ holds true for a fixed element ν of $\mathbb{F}$ . For arbitraryν ∈ $\mathbb{F}$ we prove that? is induced (in a certain sense) by a semi-linear bijection $(\sigma ,\varrho ):(V,\mathbb{F}) \to (V,\mathbb{F})$ such thatq oσ =? oq, provided $\mathcal{F}$ contains lines and the exceptional case $(\nu = 2 \Lambda |\mathbb{F}| = 3 \Lambda \dim V = 4 \Lambda |\mathcal{F}| = 24)$ is excluded. In the exceptional case and as well in case of dim V = 3 there are counterexamples. The casesν ≠ 2 and v=2 require different techniques.     

Optimal Set of the Modulus of Continuity in the Sharp Jackson Inequality in the Space $$L_2 $$

To a function $f \in L_2 [ - \pi ,\pi ]$ and a compact set $Q \subset [ - \pi ,\pi ]$ we assign the supremum $\omega (f,Q) = \sup _{t \in Q} ||f( \cdot + t) - f( \cdot )||_{L_2 [ - \pi ,\pi ]} $ , which is an analog of the modulus of continuity. We denote by $K(n,Q)$ the least constant in Jackson's inequality between the best approximation of the function f by trigonometric polynomials of degree $n - 1$ in the space $L_2 [ - \pi ,\pi ]$ and the modulus of continuity $\omega (f,Q)$ . It follows from results due to Chernykh that $K(n,Q) \geqslant 1/\sqrt 2 $ and $K(n,[0,\pi /\pi ]) = 1/\sqrt 2 $ . On the strength of a result of Yudin, we show that if the measure of the set Q is less than $\pi /n$ , then $K(n,Q) >1/\sqrt 2 $ .     

Passive linear stationary dynamical scattering systems with continuous time

In this paper we consider systems with the separable Hilbert inner, input and output spacesX, $\mathfrak{N}^ - $ , $\mathfrak{N}^ + $ of the form $$\frac{{dx(t)}}{{dt}} = \hat Bx(t) + L\varphi ^ - (t),\varphi ^ + (t) = N(x(t),\varphi ^ - (t)),x(0) = a$$ with some natural restrictions on the coefficients which have been proposed by Yu.L. Shmuljan. For each system the concepts of simple, minimal, passive scattering, conservative scattering, optimal passive scattering ones are introduced. We realize any $[\mathfrak{N}^ - ,\mathfrak{N}^ + ]$ valued function θ(p) which is holomorphic with contractive values in the right half plane as the transfer function (t.f.) of a simple conservative scattering system and also as the t.f. of a minimal optimal passive scattering system. Both these realizations are defined by θ(p) uniquely up to unitary similarity. Reduction of the problem to the corresponding problems for systems with discrete time via Cayley transform is used.     

On Certain Integral Operators of Fractional Type

In this paper we study integral operators of the form $$T\,f\left( x \right) = \int {k_1 \left( {x - a_1 y} \right)k_2 \left( {x - a_2 y} \right)...k_m \left( {x - a_m y} \right)f\left( y \right)dy} ,$$ $$k_i \left( y \right) = \sum\limits_{j \in Z} {2^{\frac{{jn}}{{q_i }}} } \varphi _{i,j} \left( {2^j y} \right),\,1 \leqq q_i < \infty ,\frac{1}{{q_1 }} + \frac{1}{{q_2 }} + ... + \frac{1}{{q_m }} = 1 - r,$$ $0 \leqq r < 1$ , and $\varphi _{i,j}$ satisfying suitable regularity conditions. We obtain the boundedness of $T:L^p \left( {R^n } \right) \to T:L^q \left( {R^n } \right)$ for $1 < p < \frac{1}{r}$ and $\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p} - r$ .     

On Total Incomparability of Mixed Tsirelson Spaces

We give criteria of total incomparability for certain classes of mixed Tsirelson spaces. We show that spaces of the form $T\left[ {\left( {\mathcal{M}_k ,\theta _k } \right)_{k = 1}^l } \right]$ with index $i\left( {\mathcal{M}_k } \right)$ finite are either c ₀ or $\ell _p $ saturated for some p and we characterize when any two spaces of such a form are totally incomparable in terms of the index $i\left( {\mathcal{M}_k } \right)$ and the parameter θ _k . Also, we give sufficient conditions of total incomparability for a particular class of spaces of the form $T\left[ {\left( {\mathcal{A}_k ,\theta _k } \right)_{k = 1}^\infty } \right]$ in terms of the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence $\left\| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {e_i } } \right\|$ where (e _i is the canonical basis.     

Orthogonality properties of linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials II

Let and be polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the measures dσ and dμ, respectively. In this paper we consider the question how the orthogonality measures dσ and dμ are related to each other if the orthogonal polynomials are connected by a relation of the form , for , where . It turns out that the two measures are related by if , where and are known trigonometric polynomials of fixed degree and where the 's are the zeros of on . If the 's and 's are uniformly bounded then (under some additional conditions) much more can be said. Indeed, in this case the measures dσ and dμ have to be of the form and , respectively, where are nonnegative trigonometric polynomials. Finally, the question is considered to which weight functions polynomials of the form where denotes the reciprocal polynomial of , can be orthogonal. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Sensitivity of best recovery in the Sobolev spaces W_\infty ^{r,d} , \widetilde W_\infty ^{r,d}for perturbed sampling

Let $I^d $ be the d‐dimensional cube, $I^d = [0,1]^d $ , and let $F \ni f \mapsto Sf \in L_\infty (I^d ) $ be a linear operator acting on the Sobolev space F, where Fis either $$$$ or $$$$ where $$\left\| f \right\|_F = \sum\limits_{\left| m \right| = r} {\mathop {{\text{esssup}}}\limits_{x \in I^d } \left| {\frac{{\partial f^{\left| m \right|} }} {{\partial x_1^{m_1 } \partial x_2^{m_2 } \cdot \cdot \cdot \partial x_d^{m_d } }}(x)} \right|.} $$ We assume that the problem elements fsatisfy the condition $\sum\nolimits_{\left| m \right| = r} {{\text{esssup}}} _{x \in I^d } \left| {f^{(m)} (x)} \right| \leqslant 1 $ and that Sis continuous with respect to the supremum norm. We study sensitivity of optimal recovery of Sfrom inexact samples of ftaken at npoints forming a uniform grid on $I^d $ . We assume that the inaccuracy in reading the sample vector is measured in the pth norm and bounded by a nonnegative number δ. The sensitivity is defined by the difference between the optimal errors corresponding to the exact and perturbed readings, respectively. Our main result is that this difference is bounded by $\mathcal{A}\delta $ , where $\mathcal{A} $ is a positive constant independent of the number of samples. This indicates that the curse of dimension, which badly affects the optimal errors, does not extend to sensitivity.     

Estimating the Minimal Number of Colors in Acyclic $$k $$ -Strong Colorings of Maps on Surfaces

A coloring of the vertices of a graph is called acyclic if the ends of each edge are colored in distinct colors, and there are no two-colored cycles. Suppose each face of rank $k$ , $k \geqslant 4$ , in a map on a surface $S^N $ is replaced by the clique having the same number of vertices. It is proved in [1] that the resulting pseudograph admits an acyclic coloring with the number of colors depending linearly on N and $k$ . In the present paper we prove a sharper estimate $55( - Nk)^{4/7} $ for the number of colors provided that $k \geqslant 1$ and $ - N \geqslant 5^7 k^{4/3} $ .     

The Generalization of the Decomposition of Functions by Energy Operators

This work starts with the introduction of a family of differential energy operators. Energy operators $({\varPsi}_{R}^{+}, {\varPsi}_{R}^{-})$ were defined together with a method to decompose the wave equation in a previous work. Here the energy operators are defined following the order of their derivatives $(\varPsi^{-}_{k}, \varPsi^{+}_{k}, k=\{0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\ldots\})$ . The main part of the work demonstrates for any smooth real-valued function f in the Schwartz space $(\mathbf{S}^{-}(\mathbb{R}))$ , the successive derivatives of the n-th power of f ( $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and n≠0) can be decomposed using only $\varPsi^{+}_{k}$ (Lemma); or if f in a subset of $\mathbf{S}^{-}(\mathbb{R})$ , called $\mathbf{s}^{-}(\mathbb{R})$ , $\varPsi^{+}_{k}$ and $\varPsi^{-}_{k}$ ( $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ ) decompose in a unique way the successive derivatives of the n-th power of f (Theorem). Some properties of the Kernel and the Image of the energy operators are given along with the development. Finally, the paper ends with the application to the energy function.     

The Wiener--Hopf Integral Equation in the Supercritical Case

We consider the scalar homogeneous equation $S(x) = \int_0^\infty {K(x - t)S(t)dt,{\text{ }}x \in \mathbb{R}^ + \equiv (0,\infty ),}$ with symmetric kernel $K:K( - x) = K(x),{\text{ }}x \in \mathbb{R}_1$ satisfying the conditions $0 \leqslant K \in L_1 (\mathbb{R}^ + ) \cap C^{\left( 2 \right)} (\mathbb{R}^ + )$ , $\int_0^\infty {K(t)dt > \frac{1}{2}} $ , $K' \leqslant 0{\text{ }}and 0 \leqslant K'' \downarrow {\text{ }}on \mathbb{R}^ + $ . We prove the existence of a real solution S of the equation given above with asymptotic behavior $S(x) = O(x){\text{ as }}x \to + \infty $ .

Categories of bounded \left( {\mathfrak{sp}\left( {{{\mathrm{S}}^2}V \oplus {{\mathrm{S}}^2}{V^{*}}} \right),\;\mathfrak{gl}(V)} \right) - and \left( {\mathfrak{sp}\left( {{\varLambda^2}V \oplus {\varLambda^2}{V^{*}}} \right),\;\mathfrak{gl}(V)} \right) -modules

Let $ \mathfrak{g} $ be a reductive Lie algebra over $ \mathbb{C} $ and $ \mathfrak{k} \subset \mathfrak{g} $ be a reductive in $ \mathfrak{g} $ subalgebra. We call a $ \mathfrak{g} $ -module M a $ \left( {\mathfrak{g}{\hbox{,}}\;\mathfrak{k}} \right) $ -module whenever M is a direct sum of finite-dimensional $ \mathfrak{k} $ -modules. We call a $ \left( {\mathfrak{g}{\hbox{,}}\;\mathfrak{k}} \right) $ -module M bounded if there exists $ {C_M} \in {\mathbb{Z}_{{ \geqslant 0}}} $ such that for any simple finite-dimensional $ \mathfrak{k} $ -module E the dimension of the E-isotypic component is not greater than C _M dim E. Bounded $ \left( {\mathfrak{g}{\hbox{,}}\;\mathfrak{k}} \right) $ -modules form a subcategory of the category of $ \mathfrak{g} $ -modules. Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space. We prove that the categories of bounded $ \left( {\mathfrak{sp}\left( {{{\mathrm{S}}^2}V \oplus {{\mathrm{S}}^2}{V^{*}}} \right),\;\mathfrak{gl}(V)} \right) $ - and $ \left( {\mathfrak{sp}\left( {{\varLambda^2}V \oplus {\varLambda^2}{V^{*}}} \right),\;\mathfrak{gl}(V)} \right) $ -modules are isomorphic to the direct sum of countably many copies of the category of representations of some explicitly described quiver with relations under some mild assumptions on the dimension of V .     

The explicit solutions ofC_{p,q}^{k + \alpha } -form for the\bar \partial -equations on pseudoconvex open sets

In this paper, we study the integral solution operators for the $\bar \partial $ -equations on pseudoconvex domains. As a generalization of [1] for the $\bar \partial $ -equations on pseudoconvex domains with boundary of classC ^∞, we obtain the explicit integral operator solutions of $C_{p,q}^{k + \alpha } $ -form for the $\bar \partial $ -equations on pseudoconvex open sets with boundary ofC ^k (k≥0) and the sup-norm estimates of which solutions have similar as that [1] in form.
