Divergenzverhalten mehrdimensionaler Shannonscher Abtastreihen

The behaviour of multidimensional Shannon sampling series for continuous functions is examined. A continuous functiong ₁ εC ₀[0,1]² with support in the rectangle [0,1]×[0,1/2] is indicated in the paper for which the two dimensional Shannon sampling series diverge almost everywhere in the rectangle [0,1]×[1/2,1]. This shows that the localization principle for Shannon sampling series cannot hold in two dimensions and in higher dimensions. The result solves a problem formulated by P.L. Butzer.     

Hilbert spaces of distributions having an orthogonal basis of exponentials

We characterize the Hilbert spaces H whose elements are distributions supported on the interval [0, 1] and which have the property that the system of exponentials {e^2πinx}_n∈Z forms a complete orthogonal system for H, generalizing in this way the classical situation where H=L²([0, 1]) and the system is actually orthonormal. This characterization is extended to the more general setting of spectral pairs and is used to obtain sampling results in various related spaces of functions, that generalize the classical Shannon sampling theorem.     

Existence of solution for a class of nth-order multi-point boundary value problem

In this paper, we are concerned with the following nth-order ordinary differential equation $$x^{(n)}(t)+f(t,x(t),x'(t),\ldots,x^{(n-1)}(t))=0,\quad t\in (0,1),$$ with the nonlinear boundary conditions $$\begin{array}{l}x^{(i)}(0)=0,\quad i=0,1,\ldots,n-3,\\[3pt]g(x^{(n-2)}(0),x^{(n-1)}(0),x(\xi_1),\ldots,x(\xi_{m-2}))=A,\\[3pt]h(x^{(n-2)}(1),x^{(n-1)}(1),x(\eta_1),\ldots,x(\eta_{l-2}))=B,\end{array}$$ here A,B∈R, f:[0,1]×R ⁿ →R is continuous, g:[0,1]×R ^m →R is continuous, h:[0,1]×R ^l →R is continuous, ξ _i ∈(0,1), i=1,…,m?2, and η _j ∈(0,1), j=1,…,l?2. The existence result is given by using a priori estimate, Nagumo condition, the method of upper and lower solutions and Leray-Schauder degree. We also give an example to demonstrate our result.     

Separating sets by Darboux Baire 1 and approximately continuous functions

We characterize sets A₀, A₁ for which there is a DB1 function f with [f = 0] = A₀ and [f = 1] = A₁. This characterization is a conjunction of necessary conditions for Darboux and for Baire 1 functions. We also characterize sets A^?, A⁺ for which there is a DB₁ function with [f < 0] = A^? and [f > 0] = A⁺. The same characterzations are provided for approximately continuous functions.     

The chromatic number of the product of two ℵ1-chromatic graphs can be countable

We prove (in ZFC) that for every infinite cardinal ϰ there are two graphsG ₀,G ₁ with χ(G ₀)=χ(G ₁)=ϰ⁺ and χ(G ₀×G ₁)=ϰ. We also prove a result from the other direction. If χ(G ₀)≧≧ℵ₀ and χ(G ₁)=k<ω, then χ(G ₀×G ₁)=k.     

Extensions of the measurable choice theorem by means of forcing

Using the method of forcing of set theory, we prove the following two theorems on the existence of measurable choice functions: LetT be the closed unit interval [0,1] and letm be the usual Lebesgue measure defined on the Borel subsets ofT. Theorem1. LetS⊂T×T be a Borel set such that for alltεT,S _t ^def={x|(t,x)εS} is countable and non-empty. Then there exists a countable series of Lebesgue-measurable functionsf _n: T→T such thatS _t={f_n(t)|nεω} for alltε[0,1],W _x={y|(x,y)εW} is uncountable. Then there exists a functionh:[0,1]×[0,1]→W with the following properties: (a) for each xε[0,1], the functionh(x,·) is one-one and ontoW _x and is Borel measurable; (b) for eachy, h(·, y) is Lebesgue measurable; (c) the functionh is Lebesgue measurable.     

Designs of ϕ-optimal control for second-order processes

Consider a realization of the process on the intervalT=[0,1] for functionsf ₁(t),f ₂(t),...,f _n (t) inH(R), the reproducing kernel Hilbert space with reproducing kernelR(s,t) onT×T, whereR(s,t)=E[ξ(s)ξt)] is assumed to be continuous and known. Problems of the selection of functions {f _k (t)} _k=1 ⁿ to be ϕ-optimal design are given, and an unified approach to the solutions ofD-,A-,E- andD _s-optimal design problems are discussed.     

Packing random intervals

Summary Letn random intervalsI ₁, ...,I _n be chosen by selecting endpoints independently from the uniform distribution on [0.1]. Apacking is a pairwise disjoint subset of the intervals; itswasted space is the Lebesgue measure of the points of [0,1] not covered by the packing. In any set of intervals the packing with least wasted space is computationally easy to find; but its expected wasted space in the random case is not obvious. We show that with high probability for largen, this best packing has wasted space . It turns out that if the endpoints 0 and 1 are identified, so that the problem is now one of packing random arcs in a unit-circumference circle, then optimal wasted space is reduced toO(1/n). Interestingly, there is a striking difference between thesizes of the best packings: about logn intervals in the unit interval case, but usually only one or two arcs in the circle case.     

Expected wasted space of optimal simple rectangle packing

A simple packing of a collection of rectangles contained in [0,1]² is a disjoint subcollection such that each vertical line meets at most one rectangle of the packing. The wasted space of the packing is the surface of the area of the part of [0,1]² not covered by the packing. We prove that for a certain number L, for all N2, the wasted space W_N in an optimal simple packing of N independent uniformly distributed rectangles satisfiesWork partially supported by an N.S.F. grant.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 60D05

nth order Stieltjes differential boundary operators and Stieltjes differential boundary systems

This article discusses linear differential boundary systems, which include nth-order differential boundary relations as a special case, in $\text{L}$_n^p[0,1] × $\text{L}$_n^p[0,1], 1 ? p < ∞. The adjoint relation in $\text{L}$_n^q[0,1] × $\text{L}$_n^q[0,1], $\text{1}\text{p}\text{+}\text{1}\text{q}\text{= 1}$, is derived. Green's formula is also found. Self-adjoint relations are found in $\text{L}$_n²[0,1] × $\text{L}$_n²[0,1], and their connection with Coddington's extensions of symmetric operators on subspaces of $\text{L}$_n^p[0,1] × $\text{L}$_n²[0,1] is established.

Uniform and minimal {0,1} – cp matrices

Let A be an n?×?n real matrix. A is called {0,1}-cp if it can be factorized as A?=?BB ^T with b_ij =0 or 1. The smallest possible number of columns of B in such a factorization is called the {0,1}-rank of A. A {0,1}-cp matrix A is called minimal if for every nonzero nonnegative n?×?n diagonal matrix D, A-D is not {0,1}-cp, and r-uniform if it can be factorized as A=BB ^T, where B is a (0,?1) matrix with r 1s in each column. In this article, we first present a necessary condition for a nonsingular matrix to be {0,1}-cp. Then we characterize r-uniform {0,1}-cp matrices. We also obtain some necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be minimal {0,1}-cp, and present some bounds for {0,1}-ranks.

Locally Compact Path Spaces

It is shown that the space X^[0,1], of continuous maps [0,1]X with the compact-open topology, is not locally compact for any space X having a nonconstant path of closed points. For a T₁-space X, it follows that X^[0,1] is locally compact if and only if X is locally compact and totally path-disconnected.

Entire solutions of the KPP equation

This paper deals with the solutions defined for all time of the KPP equation u_t = u_xx + f(u),   0 < u(x,t) < 1, (x,t) ∈ ℝ², where ƒ is a KPP‐type nonlinearity defined in [0,1]: ƒ(0) = ƒ(1) = 0, ƒ′(0) > 0, ƒ′(1) < 0, ƒ > 0 in (0,1), and ƒ′(s) ≤ ƒ′(0) in [0,1]. This equation admits infinitely many traveling‐wave‐type solutions, increasing or decreasing in x. It also admits solutions that depend only on t. In this paper, we build four other manifolds of solutions: One is 5‐dimensional, one is 4‐dimensional, and two are 3‐dimensional. Some of these new solutions are obtained by considering two traveling waves that come from both sides of the real axis and mix. Furthermore, the traveling‐wave solutions are on the boundary of these four manifolds. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
