Linear Approximation and Reproduction of Polynomials by Wilson Bases

Wilson bases are constituted by trigonometric functions multiplied by translates of a window function with good time frequency localization. In this article we investigate the approximation of functions from Sobolev spaces by partial sums of the Wilson basis expansion. In particular, we show that the approximation can be improved if polynomials are reproduced. We give examples of Wilson bases, which reproduce linear functions with the lowest-frequency term only.     

On minimal strongly KC-spaces

In this article we introduce the notion of strongly KC-spaces, that is, those spaces in which countably compact subsets are closed. We find they have good properties. We prove that a space (X, τ) is maximal countably compact if and only if it is minimal strongly KC, and apply this result to study some properties of minimal strongly KC-spaces, some of which are not possessed by minimal KC-spaces. We also give a positive answer to a question proposed by O.T. Alas and R.G. Wilson, who asked whether every countably compact KC-space of cardinality less than c has the FDS-property. Using this we obtain a characterization of Katítov strongly KC-spaces and finally, we generalize one result of Alas and Wilson on Katìtov-KC spaces. This research was supported by NSFC of China (No. 10671173).     

On the Functional Characterization of the Analytic Wave Front Set of an Hyperfunction

We give a characterization of d-dimensional modulation spaces with moderate weights by means of the d-dimensional Wilson basis. As an application we prove that pseudodifferential operators with generalized Weyl symbols are bounded on these modulation spaces.     

A Riesz basis for Bargmann-Fock space related to sampling and interpolation

It is shown that the Bargmann-Fock spaces of entire functions, A^p (C),p≧1 have a bounded unconditional basis of Wilson type [DJJ] which is closely related to the reproducing kernel. From this is derived a new sampling and interpolation result for these spaces. Partially supported by grant AFOSR 90-0311.

Polynomials and identities on real Banach spaces

We study the duality theory for real polynomials and functions on Banach spaces. Our approach leads to a unified treatment and generalization of some classical results on linear identities and polynomial characterizations due to Fréchet, Mazur, Orlicz, Reznick, Wilson, and others.     

Term structure extrapolation and asymptotic forward rates

We investigate different inter- and extrapolation methods for term structures under different constraints in order to generate market-consistent estimates which describe the asymptotic behavior of forward rates. Our starting point is the method proposed by Smith and Wilson, which is used by the European insurance supervisor EIOPA. We use the characterization of the Smith–Wilson class of interpolating functions as the solution to a functional optimization problem to extend their approach in such a way that forward rates will converge to a value which is an outcome of the optimization process. Precise conditions are stated which guarantee that the optimization problems involved are well-posed on appropriately chosen function spaces. As a result, a well-defined optimal asymptotic forward rate can be derived directly from prices and cashflows of traded instruments. This allows practitioners to use raw market data to extract information about long term forward rates, as we will show in a study which analyzes historical EURIBOR swap data.     

Pseudodifferential operators on ultra-modulation spaces

The boundedness of pseudodifferential operators on modulation spaces defined by the means of almost exponential weights is studied. The results are applied to symbol class with almost exponential bounds including polynomial and ultra-polynomial symbols. The Weyl correspondence is used and it is noted that the results can be transferred to the operators with appropriate anti-Wick symbols. It is proved that a class of elliptic pseudodifferential operators can be almost diagonalized by the elements of Wilson bases, and estimates for their eigenvalues are given. Furthermore, it is shown that the same can be done by using Gabor frames.     

Realcompactness in maximal and submaximal spaces

We study realcompactness in the classes of submaximal and maximal spaces. It is shown that a normal submaximal space of cardinality less than the first measurable is realcompact. ZFC examples of submaximal not realcompact and maximal not realcompact spaces are constructed. These examples answer questions posed in [O.T. Alas, M. Sanchis, M.G. Tka?enko, V.V. Tkachuk, R.G. Wilson, Irresolvable and submaximal spaces: homogeneity versus σ-discreteness and new ZFC examples, Topology Appl. 107 (3) (2000) 259-273] and generalize some results from [D.P. Baturov, On perfectly normal dense subspaces of products, Topology Appl. 154 (2) (2007) 374-383].     

Hierarchies of Huygens' Operators and Hadamard's Conjecture

We develop a new unified approach to the problem of constructing linear hyperbolic partial differential operators that satisfy Huygens' principle in the sense of J. Hadamard. The underlying method is essentially algebraic and based on a certain nonlinear extension of similarity (gauge) transformations in the ring of analytic differential operators.The paper provides a systematic and self-consistent review of classical and recent results on Huygens' principle in Minkowski spaces. Most of these results are carried over to more general pseudo-Riemannian spaces with the metric of a plane gravitational wave.A particular attention is given to various connections of Huygens' principle with integrable systems and the soliton theory. We discuss the link to nonlinear KdV-type evolution equations, Darboux–Bäcklund transformations and the bispectral problem in the sense of Duistermaat, Grünbaum and Wilson.     

An Expansion Formula for the Askey–Wilson Function

The Askey–Wilson function transform is a q-analogue of the Jacobi function transform with kernel given by an explicit non-polynomial eigenfunction of the Askey–Wilson second order q-difference operator. The kernel is called the Askey–Wilson function. In this paper an explicit expansion formula for the Askey–Wilson function in terms of Askey–Wilson polynomials is proven. With this expansion formula at hand, the image under the Askey–Wilson function transform of an Askey–Wilson polynomial multiplied by an analogue of the Gaussian is computed explicitly. As a special case of these formulas a q-analogue (in one variable) of the Macdonald–Mehta integral is obtained, for which also two alternative, direct proofs are presented.

Operator factorization on partially ordered Hilbert resolution spaces with finite parameter sets

A generalization of the Gohberg-Krein theory of factorization along chains of subspaces to operators on partially ordered Hilbert resolution spaces was obtained by R. M. DeSantis and W. A. Porter by sacrificing a fundamental invariant subspace property of the factors. In the case where the parameter space is finite, this work gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a factorization which has the desired invariant subspace property.     

Multiplicative structure in equivariant cohomology

We introduce the notion of a strongly homotopy-comultiplicative resolution of a module coalgebra over a chain Hopf algebra, which we apply to proving a comultiplicative enrichment of a well-known theorem of Moore concerning the homology of quotient spaces of group actions. The importance of our enriched version of Moore’s theorem lies in its application to the construction of useful cochain algebra models for computing multiplicative structure in equivariant cohomology.In the special cases of homotopy orbits of circle actions on spaces and of group actions on simplicial sets, we obtain small, explicit cochain algebra models that we describe in detail.     

A sampling theorem related to the Wilson transform

In this paper, we establish a sampling theorem related to the nonterminating version of the Wilson polynomials and we give a generalization of the de Branges–Wilson integral.     

Minami–Webb splittings and some exotic <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-local finite groups

We give a new proof of the Minami–Webb formula for classifying spaces of finite groups by exploiting Symonds’s resolution of Webb’s conjecture. The methods are applicable to obtain a stable decomposition of Minami’s type for the classifying spaces of the three exotic p-local finite groups which were introduced by Ruiz and Viruel at the prime 7. We obtain a similar decomposition for the classifying spaces of a family of exotic p-local finite groups which were constructed by Broto, Levi and Oliver. The author was supported by the Nuffield Foundation Grant NAL/00735/G.     

Set-valued functions,Lebesgue extensions and saturated probability spaces

Recent advances in the theory of distributions of set-valued functions have been shaped by counterexamples which hinge on the non-existence of measurable selections with requisite properties. These examples, all based on the Lebesgue interval, and initially circumvented by Sun in the context of Loeb spaces, have now led Keisler and Sun (KS) to establish a comprehensive theory of the distributions of set-valued functions on saturated probability spaces (introduced by Hoover and Keisler). In contrast, we show that a countably-generated extension of the Lebesgue interval suffices for an explicit resolution of these examples; and furthermore, that it does not contradict the KS necessity results. We draw the fuller implications of our theorems for integration of set-valued functions, for Lyapunov's result on the range of vector measures and for the theory of large non-anonymous games.
