CONVEXITY AND BERNSTEIN POLYNOMIALS ON k-SIMPLOIDS

This paper is concerned with Bernstein polynomials on k-simploids by which we mean a crossproduct of k lower dimensional simplices. Specifically, we show that if the Bernstein polynomials ofa given function f on a k-simploid form a decreasing sequence then f+l, where l is any correspondingtensor product of affine functions. achieves its maximum on the boundary of the k-simploid. Thisextends recent results in [1] for bivariate Bernstein polynomials on triangles. Unlike the approachused in [1] our approach is based on semigroup techniques and the maximum principle for secondorder elliptic operators. Furthermore, we derive analogous results for cube spline surfaces.     

Generalized McKay quivers of rank three

For each finite subgroup G of SLn（C）, we introduce the generalized Cartan matrix AG in view of McKay correspondence from the fusion rule of its natural representation. Using group theory, we show that the generalized Cartan matrices have similar favorable properties such as positive semi- definiteness as in the classical case of affine Cartan matrices. The complete McKay quivers for SL3 （C） are explicitly described and classified based on representation theory.     

Skew-commutator relations and Gröbner-Shirshov basis of quantum group of type F 4

We give a Grobner-Shirshov basis of quantum group of type F4 by using the Ringel-Hall algebra approach. We compute all skew-commutator relations between the isoclasses of indecomposable representations of Ringel- Hall algebras of type F4 by using an ＇inductive＇ method. Precisely, we do not use the traditional way of computing the skew-commutative relations, that is first compute all Hall polynomials then compute the corresponding skew- commutator relations; instead, we compute the ＇easier＇ skew-commutator relations which correspond to those exact sequences with middle term indecomposable or the split exact sequences first, then ＇deduce＇ others from these ＇easier＇ ones and this in turn gives Hall polynomials as a byproduct. Then using the composition-diamond lemma prove that the set of these relations constitute a minimal CrSbner-Shirshov basis of the positive part of the quantum group of type F4. Dually, we get a Grobner-Shirshov basis of the negative part of the quantum group of type F4. And finally, we give a Gr6bner-Shirshov basis for the whole quantum group of type F4.     

ON COEFFICIENT POLYNOMIALS OF CUBIC HERMITE-PAD(?) APPROXIMATIONS TO THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

The polynomials related with cubic Hermite-Padéapproximation to the exponentialfunction are investigated which have degrees at most n,m,s respectively.A connectionis given between the coefficients of each of the polynomials and certain hypergeometricfunctions,which leads to a simple expression for a polynomial in a special case.Contourintegral representations of the polynomials are given.By using of the saddle point methodthe exact asymptotics of the polynomials are derived as n,m,s tend to infinity throughcertain ray sequence.Some further uniform asymptotic aspects of the polynomials are alsodiscussed.     

Superlinear convergence of affine scaling interior point newton method for linear inequality constrained minimization without strict complementarity

In this paper we extend and improve the classical affine scaling interior-point Newton method for solving nonlinear optimization subject to linear inequality constraints in the absence of the strict complementarity assumption. Introducing a computationally efficient technique and employing an identification function for the definition of the new affine scaling matrix, we propose and analyze a new affine scaling interior-point Newton method which improves the Coleman and Li affine sealing matrix in [2] for solving the linear inequlity constrained optimization. Local superlinear and quadratical convergence of the proposed algorithm is established under the strong second order sufficiency condition without assuming strict complementarity of the solution.     

Superlinearly convergent affine scaling interior trust-region method for linear constrained LC<Superscript>1</Superscript> minimization

We extend the classical affine scaling interior trust region algorithm for the linear constrained smooth minimization problem to the nonsmooth case where the gradient of objective function is only locally Lipschitzian. We propose and analyze a new affine scaling trust-region method in association with nonmonotonic interior backtracking line search technique for solving the linear constrained LC1 optimization where the second-order derivative of the objective function is explicitly required to be locally Lipschitzian. The general trust region subproblem in the proposed algorithm is defined by minimizing an augmented affine scaling quadratic model which requires both first and second order information of the objective function subject only to an affine scaling ellipsoidal constraint in a null subspace of the augmented equality constraints. The global convergence and fast local convergence rate of the proposed algorithm are established under some reasonable conditions where twice smoothness of the objective function is not required. Applications of the algorithm to some nonsmooth optimization problems are discussed.     

q-Hermite Polynomials and a q-Beta Integral

The main object of the present paper is to derive a formula for the q-Hahn.polynomials by using the q-Mehler formula about the q-Hermite polynomials.This result, together with other properties of the q-Hermite polynomials, provides an evalution of a q-beta integral.Both the celebrated Askey-Wilson integral and the Ismail-Stanton-Viennot integral are special cases of this integral.     

Direction monotonicity for a rational Bézier curve

The monotonicity of a rational Bézier curve, usually related to an explicit function,is determined by the used coordinate system. However, the shape of the curve is independent of the coordinate system. To meet the affine invariant property, a kind of generalized monotonicity, called direction monotonicity, is introduced for rational Bézier curves. The direction monotonicity is applied to both planar and space curves and to both Cartesian and affine coordinate systems, and it includes the traditional monotonicity as a subcase. By means of it,proper affine coordinate systems may be chosen to make some rational Bézier curves monotonic.Direction monotonic interpolation may be realized for some of the traditionally nonmonotonic data as well.     

Identities for degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and Korobov polynomials of the first kind

In this paper, we derive five basic identities for Sheffer polynomials by using generalized Pascal functional and Wronskian matrices. Then we apply twelve basic identities for Sheffer polynomials, seven from previous results, to degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and Korobov polynomials of the first kind and get some new identities. In addition, letting λ→ 0 in such identities gives us those for Bernoulli polynomials and Bernoulli polynomials of the second kind.

The main results of this paper are the following:(1) Two types of integral formulas for M and M~*.(2) Some conditions for an affine convex hypersurface to be an affine sphere.(3) Some conditions for M and M~* to be different only by an affine transformation or a translation.     

The Mehler Formula for the Generalized Clifford-Hermite Polynomials

The Mehler formula for the Hermite polynomials allows for an integral representation of the one-dimensional Fractional Fourier transform. In this paper, we introduce a multi-dimensional Fractional Fourier transform in the framework of Clifford analysis. By showing that it coincides with the classical tensorial approach we are able to prove Mehler＇s formula for the generalized Clifford-Hermite polynomials of Clifford analysis.

关于多项式多重卷积利用差分与移位算子的计值法

Here concerned and further investigated is a certain operator method for the computation of convolutions of polynomials. We provide a general formulation of the method with a refinement for certain old results, and also give some new applications to convolved sums involving several noted special polynomials. The advantage of the method using operators is illustrated with concrete examples. Finally, also presented is a brief investigation on convolution polynomials having two types of summations.     

Phase Transitions for Products of Characteristic Polynomials under Dyson Brownian Motion

We study the averaged products of characteristic polynomials for the Gaussian and Laguerre β-ensembles with external source, and prove Pearcey-type phase transitions for particular full rank perturbations of source. The phases are characterised by determining the explicit functional forms of the scaled limits of the averaged products of characteristic polynomials, which are given as certain multidimensional integrals, with dimension equal to the number of products.     

APPROXIMATE SOLUTION OF INTEGRAL EQUATIONS AND CONVOLUTION INTEGRALS USING LEGENDRE POLYNOMIALS

It has been argued that Chebyshev polynomials are ideal to use as approximating functions to obtain solutions of integral equations and convolution integrals on account of their fast convergence. Using the standard deviation as a measure of the accuracy of the approximation and the CPU time as a measure of the speed, we find that for reasonable accuracy Legendre polynomials are more efficient.

Determination of the limits for multivariate rational functions

The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of determining the limits of multivariate rational functions.It is essential to decide whether or not limxˉ→0f g=0 for two non-zero polynomials f,g∈R[x1,...,xn]with f(0,...,0)=g(0,...,0)=0.For two such polynomials f and g,we establish two necessary and sufcient conditions for the rational functionf g to have its limit 0 at the origin.Based on these theoretic results,we present an algorithm for deciding whether or not lim(x1,...,xn)→(0,...,0)f g=0,where f,g∈R[x1,...,xn]are two non-zero polynomials.The design of our algorithm involves two existing algorithms:one for computing the rational univariate representations of a complete chain of polynomials,another for catching strictly critical points in a real algebraic variety.The two algorithms are based on the well-known Wu’s method.With the aid of the computer algebraic system Maple,our algorithm has been made into a general program.In the final section of this paper,several examples are given to illustrate the efectiveness of our algorithm.     

Spectrality of planar self-affine measures with two-element digit set

The iterated function system with two element digit set is the simplest case and the most important case in the study of self affine measures.The one dimensional case corresponds to the Bernoulli convolution whose spectral property is understandable.The higher dimensional analogue is not known,for which two conjectures about the spectrality and the non spectrality remain open.In the present paper,we consider the spectrality and non spectrality of planar self affine measures with two element digit set.We give a method to deal with the two dimensional case,and clarify the spectrality and non spectrality of a class of planar self affine measures.The result here provides some supportive evidence to the two related conjectures.     

Affinely Prime Dynamical Systems

This paper deals with representations of groups by "affine" automorphisms of compact,convex spaces,with special focus on "irreducible" representations:equivalently "minimal" actions.When the group in question is PSL(2,R),the authors exhibit a oneone correspondence between bounded harmonic functions on the upper half-plane and a certain class of irreducible representations.This analysis shows that,surprisingly,all these representations are equivalent.In fact,it is found that all irreducible affine representations of this group are equivalent.The key to this is a property called "linear Stone-Weierstrass"for group actions on compact spaces.If it holds for the "universal strongly proximal space"of the group (to be defined),then the induced action on the space of probability measures on this space is the unique irreducible affine representation of the group.     

Real polynomial iterative roots in the case of nonmonotonicity height ≥ 2

It is known that a strictly piecewise monotone function with nonmonotonicity height ≥ 2 on a compact interval has no iterative roots of order greater than the number of forts. An open question is: Does it have iterative roots of order less than or equal to the number of forts? An answer was given recently in the case of "equal to". Since many theories of resultant and algebraic varieties can be applied to computation of polynomials, a special class of strictly piecewise monotone functions, in this paper we investigate the question in the case of "less than" for polynomials. For this purpose we extend the question from a compact interval to the whole real line and give a procedure of computation for real polynomial iterative roots. Applying the procedure together with the theory of discriminants, we find all real quartic polynomials of non-monotonicity height 2 which have quadratic polynomial iterative roots of order 2 and answer the question.
