Quadratic variation functionals and dilation equations

Here we present some distribution function inequalities between certain functionals defined relative to a convolution approximation procedure. Such inequalities are best known when the approximation is made using dilations of the Gaussian or Cauchy kernels. In these cases, classical differential equations, the heat equation or Laplace's equation, provide the basis for comparisons; in the latter case, the quadratic functional is known as the Lusin area integral. The kernels we consider are compactly supported, and satisfy a dilation equation, rather than a differential equation. For these kernels, there is an intrinsic quadratic variation, defined from the dilation structure. We obtain good lambda distribution function inequalities between a maximal function and the quadratic variation functional.     

L p solutions of refinement equations

In the recent characterizations of the L_p solution of the refinement equation in terms of the “p-norm joint spectral radius,” there are problems in choosing the initial function for iteration [3, 23], or in addition, requiring stability of the refinable function [13, 17]. In this article we overcome these difficulties and give a more complete characterization of this nature. The criterion is constructive and can be implemented. It can be used to describe the regularity of the solution without assuming stability. This has significant advantages over the previous work. The corresponding results for vector refinement equations are also discussed.     

Two‐sided estimates and positivity conditions for solutions of linear operator equations in a Banach lattice

Let A and be bounded linear operators in a Banach lattice B, and M be a positive operator in B. The paper deals with the equation where X should be found and are real numbers. Two‐sided estimates and positivity conditions for a solution of that equation are established. The illustrative examples are also presented.     

Rational interpolation to solutions of Riccati difference equations on elliptic lattices

It is shown how to define difference equations on particular lattices {x_n}, n∈Z, where the x_ns are values of an elliptic function at a sequence of arguments in arithmetic progression (elliptic lattice). Solutions to special difference equations (elliptic Riccati equations) have remarkable simple (!) interpolatory continued fraction expansions.     

A note on the regularity criteria for the Navier-Stokes equations

We consider the regularity problem for 3D Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain with smooth boundary. A new sufficient condition which guarantees the regularity of weak solutions on the quotient ∇p/(1+|u|^δ₁+|∇u|^δ₂) for the Navier-Stokes equations is established.

A structure theorem for sum form functional equations

Summary It is proved that, iff _ij:]0, 1[ C (i = 1, ,k;j = 1, ,l) are measurable, satisfy the equation (1) (with some functionsg _it, h_jt:]0, 1[ C), then eachf _ij is in a linear space (called Euler space) spanned by the functionsx x ^j(logx) ^k (x ]0, 1[;j = 1, ,M;k = 0, ,m _j – 1), where ₁, , _M are distinct complex numbers andm ₁, , m_M natural numbers. The dimension of this linear space is bounded by a linear function ofN.     

A system of functional equations related to plurality functions. A method for the construction of the solutions

Summary In the first part of the present paper we prove some necessary conditions satisfied by the solutions of a system of functional equations related to Plurality Functions. In the second part we describe a geometric-combinatorial procedure for the construction of the solutions of that system. This procedure yields all possible solutions.     

On the computation of parameter derivatives of solutions of linear difference equations

A method is given to compute the parameter derivatives of recessive solutions of second-order inhomogeneous linear difference equations. The case of difference equations in which all solutions have the same rate of growth is also discussed.     

A note on the regularity of solutions of infinite dimensional Riccati equations

This note is concerned with the regularity of solutions of algebraic Riccati equations arising from infinite dimensional LQR control problems. We show that distributed parameter systems described by certain parabolic partial differential equations often have a special structure that smooths solutions of the corresponding Riccati equation. This analysis is motivated by the need to find specific representations for Riccati operators that can be used in the development of computational schemes for problems where the input and output operators are not Hilbert-Schmidt. This situation occurs in many boundary control problems and in certain distributed control problems associated with optimal sensor/actuator placement.
