Application of Upper Hemi-Continuous Operators on Generalized Bi-quasi-variational Inequalities in Locally Convex Topological Vector Spaces

Let and be Hausdorff topological vector spaces over the field , let be a bilinear functional, and let be a non-empty subset of . Given a set-valued map and two set-valued maps , the generalized bi-quasi-variational inequality (GBQVI) problem is to find a point and a point such that and for all and for all or to find a point a point and a point such that and for all . The generalized bi-quasi-variational inequality was introduced first by Shih and Tan [8] in 1989. In this paper we shall obtain some existence theorems of generalized bi-quasi-variational inequalities as application of upper hemi-continuous operators [4] in locally convex topological vector spaces on compact sets.     

Semisimple Lie Algebras of Differential Operators

Starting from the commutation relations in a complex semisimple Lie algebra , one may obtain a space of vector fields on Euclidean space such that and are isomorphic when is equipped with the usual Lie bracket between vector fields and the isotropy subalgebra of is a Borel subalgebra . Furthermore, one may adjoin to the vector fields in multiplication operators to obtain an -parameter family of distinct presentations of as spaces of differential operators, where is the dual of a Cartan subalgebra. Some of these presentations will preserve a space of polynomials on Euclidean space, and, in fact, all the finite-dimensional representations of can be presented in this way. All of this is carried out explicitly for arbitrary . In doing so, one discovers there is a Lie group of diffeomorphisms of the unipotent subgroup N complementary to B which acts on these presentations and preserves a certain notion of weight.

We consider the energy functional of a two-phase elastic medium with quadratic energy densities defined for such that ,where is a measurable characteristic function. Under some natural conditions on the data of the problem, we prove the existence of an interval (t ^-,t ⁺) of the change of temperature such that the energy functional has only a minimizer such that for or such that t^ + $$ " align="middle" border="0"> . The energy functional has no minimizers such that or if . We derive two-sided estimates for the numbers in terms of the characteristics of the two-phase elastic medium and the boundary condition.

Sharp Conditions for the CLT of Linear Processes in a Hilbert Space

In this paper we study the behavior of sums of a linear process associated to a strictly stationary sequence with values in a real separable Hilbert space and are linear operators from H to H. One of the results is that satisfies the CLT provided are i.i.d. centered having finite second moments and . We shall provide an example which shows that the condition on the operators is essentially sharp. Extensions of this result are given for sequences of weak dependent random variables under minimal conditions.     

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.     

Exponential Stability of Semigroups Related to Operator Models in Mechanics

In this paper, we consider equations of the form , where is a function with values in the Hilbert space , the operator B is symmetric, and the operator A is uniformly positive and self-adjoint in . The linear operator generating the C ₀-semigroup in the energy space is associated with this equation. We prove that this semigroup is exponentially stable if the operator B is uniformly positive and the operator A dominates B in the sense of quadratic forms.

Lagrangian Globalization Methods for Nonlinear Complementarity Problems

This paper extends the Lagrangian globalization (LG) method to the nonsmooth equation arising from a nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) and presents a descent algorithm for the LG phase. The aim of this paper is not to present a new method for solving the NCP, but to find such that when the NCP has a solution and is a stationary point but not a solution.     

The Order of Best Approximation in Some Classes of Functions

Starting from the equivalence between the Ditzian–Totik modulus and , where , in this article large classes of functions are introduced for which the modulus can be easily calculated. As a consequence, very good estimates for the bestapproximation are obtained. The attempts to estimate or calculate themodulus can be a very intricateproblem.     

Strong Positivity in Right-Invariant Order on Braid Groups and Quasipositivity

Dehornoy constructed a right invariant order on the braid group B _n uniquely defined by the condition 1{\text{ if }}\beta _0 ,\beta _1$$ " align="middle" border="0"> are words in . A braid is called strongly positive if 1$$ " align="middle" border="0"> for any . In the present paper it is proved that the braid is strongly positive if the word does not contain . We also provide a geometric proof of the result by Burckel and Laver that the standard generators of a braid group are strongly positive. Finally, we discuss relations between the right invariant order and quasipositivity.

Let be a finite Riemann surface. For a quadratic differential on associated with a certain problem on extremal decomposition of into n domains, a parametric family of quasiconformal mappings , is defined. These mappings map the domains of the extremal decomposition of onto the domains of the extremal decomposition of ._K This allows one to study the functional dependence of the problem on the parameters.

Tissus linéaires et théorèmes d'algébrisation de type Abdel-inverse et Reiss-inverse

A d-web in ( ,0) is given by d complex analytic foliations of codimension one in ( ,0) which are in general position. A d-web in ( ,0) is linear if all the leaves are (pieces of) hyperplanes in and is algebraic if it is associated, by duality, to a nondegenerate algebraic curve in of degree d. We characterize linear webs in ( ,0). We give explicit conditions under which a linear d-web in ( ,0) is algebraic and we obtain equations for in this case. Some related problems are discussed and some questions are posed.     

Augmentation and Modification Problems for Hermitian Matrices

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the augmentation and modification problems of order for Hermitian matrices. The augmentation problem consists in the construction of a Hermitian -matrix with a given -block in block -representation and with the prescribed eigenvalues. The modification problem consists in the construction of a Hermitian -matrix of rank not greater than so that the obtained matrix, being added to a given Hermitian -matrix , will have the required spectrum. We give an estimate for the minimal number of different eigenvalues of the solutions to these problems.

A Group Algebra for Inductive Limit Groups. Continuity Problems of the Canonical Commutation Relations

Given an inductive limit group where each is locally compact, and a continuous two-cocycle , we construct a C^*-algebra group algebra is imbedded in its multiplier algebra , and the representations of are identified with the strong operator continuous of G. If any of these representations are faithful, the above imbedding is faithful. When G is locally compact, is precisely , the twisted group algebra of G, and for these reasons we regard in the general case as a twisted group algebra for G. Applying this construction to the CCR-algebra over an infinite dimensional symplectic space (S,\,B),we realise the regular representations as the representation space of the C^*-algebra , and show that pointwise continuous symplectic group actions on (S,\, B) produce pointwise continuous actions on , though not on the CCR-algebra. We also develop the theory to accommodate and classify 'partially regular' representations, i.e. representations which are strong operator continuous on some subgroup H of G (of suitable type) but not necessarily on G, given that such representations occur in constrained quantum systems.     

Some estimates for the oscillation of the deformation gradient

As a measure of deformation we can take the difference D - R, where D is the deformation gradient of the mapping and R is the deformation gradient of the mapping , which represents some proper rigid motion. In this article, the norm is estimated by means of the scalar measure e( ) of nonlinear strain. First, the estimates are given for a deformation W ^1,p() satisfying the condition . Then we deduce the estimate in the case that (x) is a bi-Lipschitzian deformation and .
