Asymptotic behavior of zeros of Mittag-Leffler functions of order 1/2

Let z _n denote the sequence of zeros of the Mittag-Leffler function E _ρ (z; μ), ρ > 0, μ ∈ ?, which is an entire function of order ρ. With the exception of the case ρ = 1/2, Re μ = 3 an asymptotic behavior of the sequence z _n ^ρ was known earlier up to infinitesimals o(1) having a sharply defined rate of decrease. In this paper the behavior of the sequence z _n ^1/2 is studied just in this exceptional case. Furthermore, for ρ = 1/2, μ > 3 we give the form of a curvilinear half-plane which is free of the points z _n .     

Estimates for Sobolev norms of triangular mappings

An increasing triangular mapping T on the n-dimensional cube Θ = [0, 1] ⁿ transforming a measure μ to a measure ν is considered, where μ and ν are absolutely continuous Borel probability measures having densities ρ _μ and ρ _ν . It is shown that if there exist positive constants ? and M such that ? < ρ _ν < M, ? < ρ _ν < M, there exist numbers α, β > 1 such that p = αβ(n ? 1)^?1 (α + β)^?1 > 1 and ρ _μ ∈ W ^1,α (Θ), ρ _ν ∈ W ^1,β ) (Θ), where W ^1,q denotes a Sobolev class, then the mapping T belongs to the class W ^1,p (Θ).     

Rigidity theorem for Willmore surfaces in a sphere

Let M² be a compact Willmore surface in the (2 + p)-dimensional unit sphere S^{2 + p}. Denote by H and S the mean curvature and the squared length of the second fundamental form of M², respectively. Set ρ² = S?2H². In this note, we proved that there exists a universal positive constant C, such that if ∥ρ²∥₂<C, then ρ²=0 and M² is a totally umbilical sphere.     

Two-scale sparse finite element approximations

To reduce computational cost,we study some two-scale finite element approximations on sparse grids for elliptic partial differential equations of second order in a general setting.Over any tensor product domain ?R~d with d = 2,3,we construct the two-scale finite element approximations for both boundary value and eigenvalue problems by using a Boolean sum of some existing finite element approximations on a coarse grid and some univariate fine grids and hence they are cheaper approximations.As applications,we obtain some new efficient finite element discretizations for the two classes of problem:The new two-scale finite element approximation on a sparse grid not only has the less degrees of freedom but also achieves a good accuracy of approximation.     

Bounded differential forms,generalized Milnor–Wood inequality and an application to deformation rigidity

We establish sufficient conditions for a cohomology class of a discrete subgroup Γ of a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center to be representable by a bounded differential form on the quotient by Γ of the associated symmetric space; furthermore if \(\rho : \Gamma\to\mathrm{PU}(1,q)\) is any representation of any discrete subgroup Γ of SU (1, p), we give an explicit closed bounded differential form on the quotient by Γ of complex hyperbolic space which is a representative for the pullback via ρ of the Kähler class of PU(1,q). If G,G′ are Lie groups of Hermitian type, we generalize to representations \(\rho : \Gamma\to G'\) of lattices Γ < G the invariant defined in [Burger, M., Iozzi, A.: Bounded cohomology and representation variates in PU (1,n). Preprint announcement, April 2000] for which we establish a Milnor–Wood type inequality. As an application we study maximal representations into PU(1, q) of lattices in SU(1,1).     

Packing,counting and covering Hamilton cycles in random directed graphs

In this paper we study the chaotic behavior of the heat semigroup generated by the Dunkl-Laplacian on weighted L ^p spaces. In the case of the heat semigroup associated to the standard Laplacian we obtain a complete picture on the spaces L ^p (R ⁿ , (φ _iρ (x))² dx) where φ _iρ is the Euclidean spherical function. The behavior is very similar to the case of the Laplace–Beltrami operator on non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces studied by Pramanik and Sarkar.     

Vanishing power values of commutators with derivations

Let R be a prime ring of char R ≠ 2, let d be a nonzero derivation of R, and let ρ be a nonzero right ideal of R such that [[d(x)x ⁿ , d(y)] _m , [y, x] _s ] ^t = 0 for all x, y ? ρ, where n ≥ 1, m ≥ 0, s ≥ 0, and t ≥ 1 are fixed integers. If [ρ, ρ]ρ ≠ 0 then d(ρ)ρ = 0.     

Improved difference scheme of the solution decomposition method for a singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation

A Dirichlet problem is considered for a singularly perturbed ordinary differential reaction-diffusion equation. For this problem, a new approach is developed in order to construct difference schemes that converge uniformly with respect to the perturbation parameter ?, ? ∈ (0, 1]. The approach is based on the decomposition of a discrete solution into regular and singular components, which are solutions of discrete subproblems on uniform grids. Using the asymptotic construction technique, a difference scheme of the solution decomposition method is constructed that converges ?-uniformly in the maximum norm at the rate O (N ^?2 ln² N), where N + 1 is the number of nodes in the grid used; for fixed values of the parameter ?, the scheme converges at the rate O(N ^?2). Using the Richardson technique, an improved scheme of the solution decomposition method is constructed, which converges ?-uniformly in the maximum norm at the rate O(N ^?4 ln⁴ N).     

Positive solutions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-th Yamabe type equations on graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a finite connected weighted graph, and assume 1 ? α ? p ? q. In this paper, we consider the p-th Yamabe type equation ―?_pu+hu^q―1 = λfu^α―1 on G, where ?_p is the p-th discrete graph Laplacian, h < 0 and f > 0 are real functions defined on all vertices of G. Instead of H. Ge’s approach [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 2018, 146(5): 2219–2224], we adopt a new approach, and prove that the above equation always has a positive solution u > 0 for some constant λ ∈ ?. In particular, when q = p, our result generalizes Ge’s main theorem from the case of α ? p > 1 to the case of 1 ? α ? p, It is interesting that our new approach can also work in the case of α ? p > 1.     

On the positive definiteness of some functions related to the Schoenberg problem

For a broad class of functions f: [0,+∞) → ?, we prove that the function f(ρ ^λ(x)) is positive definite on a nontrivial real linear space E if and only if 0 ≤ λ ≤ α(E, ρ). Here ρ is a nonnegative homogeneous function on E such that ρ(x) ? 0 and α(E, ρ) is the Schoenberg constant.     

Binary central relations and submaximal clones determined by nontrivial equivalence relations

Let k ≥ 3, θ a nontrivial equivalence relation on E _k = {0, . . . ,k – 1}, and ρ a binary central relation on E _k (a reflexive graph with a vertex having E _k as its neighborhood). It is known that the clones Pol θ and Pol ρ (of operations on E _k preserving θ and ρ, respectively) are maximal clones; i.e., covered by the largest clone in the inclusion-ordered lattice of clones on E _k . In this paper, we give the classification of all binary central relations ρ on E _k such that the clone Pol θ ∩ Pol ρ is maximal in Pol θ.     

Weighted Norm Inequalities for Spectral Multipliers on Graphs

Let Γ be a graph endowed with a reversible Markov kernel p, whose associated operator P is defined by \(Pf(x) = {\sum }_{y} p(x, y)f(y)\). We assume that the kernels p_n(x, y) associated to Pⁿ satisfy Gaussian upper bounds but do not assume they satisfy the Hölder continuity property and the temporal regularity. Denote by L = I ? P the discrete Laplacian on Γ. This article shows the weighted weak type (1, 1) estimates and the weighted L^p norm inequalities for the spectral multipliers of L. We also obtain the weighted L^p norm inequalities for the commutators of the spectral multipliers of L with BMO functions which are new even for the unweighted case.     

On symmetrical <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-extensions of the 2-dimensional grid

Properties of symmetrical q-extensions of grids are investigated. A criterion is obtained for a set of symmetrical q-extensions of the 2-dimensional grid Λ² to be finite. This criterion is used to prove, in particular, that the set of all Aut ₀(Λ²)-symmetrical q-extensions of the grid Λ2 is finite for any prime q. The list of all Aut ₀(Λ²)-symmetrical 3-extensions of the grid Λ² is obtained.     

Consistent Digital Rays

Given a fixed origin o in the d-dimensional grid, we give a novel definition of digital rays dig(op) from o to each grid point p. Each digital ray dig(op) approximates the Euclidean line segment \(\overline {op}\) between o and p. The set of all digital rays satisfies a set of axioms analogous to the Euclidean axioms. We measure the approximation quality by the maximum Hausdorff distance between a digital ray and its Euclidean counterpart and establish an asymptotically tight Θ(log?n) bound in the n×n grid. The proof of the bound is based on discrepancy theory and a simple construction algorithm. Without a monotonicity property for digital rays the bound is improved to O(1). Digital rays enable us to define the family of digital star-shaped regions centered at o, which we use to design efficient algorithms for image processing problems.     

Boundedness of para-product operators on spaces of homogeneous type

We obtain the boundedness of Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators T of non-convolution type on Hardy spaces H ^p (X) for 1/(1 + ε) < p ? 1, where X is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss (1971), and ε is the regularity exponent of the kernel of the singular integral operator T. Our approach relies on the discrete Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory and discrete Calderón’s identity. The crucial feature of our proof is to avoid atomic decomposition and molecular theory in contrast to what was used in the literature.     

The local lifting problem for <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis><Subscript>4</Subscript>

For a prime p, a cyclic-by-p group G and a G-extension L|K of complete discrete valuation fields of characteristic p with algebraically closed residue field, the local lifting problem asks whether the extension L|K lifts to characteristic zero. In this paper, we characterize D₄-extensions of fields of characteristic two, determine the ramification breaks of (suitable) D₄- extensions of complete discrete valuation fields of characteristic two, and solve the local lifting problem in the affirmative for every D₄-extension of complete discrete valuation fields of characteristic two with algebraically closed residue field; that is, we show that D₄ is a local Oort group for the prime 2.     

bmo _ρ(ω) Spaces and Riesz transforms associated to Schrdinger operators

We introduce the BMO-type space bmoρ(ω) and establish the duality between h_ρ~1(ω) and bmo _ρ(ω),where ω∈A_1~(ρ, ∞)(R~n) and ω's locally behave as Muckenhoupt's weights but actually include them. We also give the Fefferman-Stein type decomposition of bmoρ(ω) with respect to Riesz transforms associated to Schrdinger operator L, where L =-? + V is a Schrdinger operator on R~n(n≥3) and V is a non-negative function satisfying the reverse Hlder inequality.     

Unconditional and optimal <Emphasis Type="Bold">H</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-error estimates of two linear and conservative finite difference schemes for the Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equation in high dimensions

The focus of this paper is on the optimal error bounds of two finite difference schemes for solving the d-dimensional (d = 2, 3) nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger (KGS) equations. The proposed finite difference schemes not only conserve the mass and energy in the discrete level but also are efficient in practical computation because only two linear systems need to be solved at each time step. Besides the standard energy method, an induction argument as well as a ‘lifting’ technique are introduced to establish rigorously the optimal H ²-error estimates without any restrictions on the grid ratios, while the previous works either are not rigorous enough or often require certain restriction on the grid ratios. The convergence rates of the proposed schemes are proved to be at O(h ² + τ ²) with mesh-size h and time step τ in the discrete H ²-norm. The analysis method can be directly extended to other linear finite difference schemes for solving the KGS equations in high dimensions. Numerical results are reported to confirm the theoretical analysis for the proposed finite difference schemes.     

Compositions,derivations and polynomials

Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid C. In this paper, we discuss the case when the composition of a generalized derivation δ and a polynomial map f(Y) ∈ C[Y] of R is commutative on a non-zero right ideal ρ and a non-commutative Lie ideal L of R respectively, i.e., when the identity δ ○ f(x) = f ○ δ(x) holds on ρ or L. As applications of our main theorems, we clarify the generalized derivations which act as n-Jordan homomorphisms (S _n -homomorphisms) on ρ or L.
