Exponential Dichotomy on the Real Line and Admissibility of Function Spaces

The purpose of this paper is to give characterizations for uniform exponential dichotomy of evolution families on the real line. We consider a general class of Banach function spaces denoted and we prove that if with and the pair is admissible for an evolution family then is uniformly exponentially dichotomic. By an example we show that the admissibility of the pair for an evolution family is not a sufficient condition for uniform exponential dichotomy. As applications, we deduce necessary and sufficient conditions for uniform exponential dichotomy of evolution families in terms of the admissibility of the pairs and with      

Evolution systems and perturbations of generators of strongly continuous groups

Suppose A generates a strongly continuous linear group on a Banach space X and B is a linear operator on X. It is shown that an extension of generates a strongly continuous semigroup if and only if the family of operators has an appropriate evolution system. This produces simple sufficient conditions for an extension of to generate a strongly continuous semigroup, including

The Aronszajn–Donoghue Theory for Rank One Perturbations of the $$\mathcal{H}_{-2} {\text{-Class}}$$

A singular rank one perturbation of a self-adjoint operator A in a Hilbert space is considered, where and but with the usual A–scale of Hilbert spaces. A modified version of the Aronszajn-Krein formula is given. It has the form where F denotes the regularized Borel transform of the scalar spectral measure of A associated with . Using this formula we develop a variant of the well known Aronszajn–Donoghue spectral theory for a general rank one perturbation of the class.Submitted: March 14, 2002 Revised: December 15, 2002

Given real numbers with ₀₀ >0 , the truncated parabolic moment problem for entails finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive Borel measure , supported in the parabola p(x, y) = 0, such that We prove that admits a representing measure (as above) if and only if the associated moment matrix is positive semidefinite, recursively generated and has a column relation p(X, Y) = 0, and the algebraic variety () associated to satisfies card In this case, admits a rank -atomic (minimal) representing measure.Submitted: August 25, 2003     

Integral Equations on Function Spaces and Dichotomy on the Real Line

The purpose of this paper is to give new and general characterizations for uniform dichotomy and uniform exponential dichotomy of evolution families on the real line. We consider two general classes denoted and and we prove that if V,W are Banach function spaces with and , then the admissibility of the pair for an evolution family implies the uniform dichotomy of . In addition, we consider a subclass and we prove that if , then the admissibility of the pair implies the uniform exponential dichotomy of the family . This condition becomes necessary if . Finally, we present some applications of the main results.

The Cosserat eigenfunctions for the elliptic exterior problem with applications to thermoelasticity and Stokes flow

The Cosserat eigenvalue problem for the elliptic exterior is considered. It is shown that the only Cosserat eigenvalue different from the infinite multiple eigenvalues and is which also has an infinite multiplicity. The orthogonal basis of the eigenspace corresponding to is constructed. Application to thermoelasticity and Stokes flow – extensional and shear – past a rigid elliptical cylinder are presented and agreement is obtained with classical solutions for a circle. The fact that the solutions consist of only two eigenfunctions reveals the efficiency of the method.Received: February 27, 2003     

The lattice point discrepancy of a body of revolution: Improving the lower bound by Soundararajan’s method

For a convex body in which is invariant under rotations around one coordinate axis and has a smooth boundary of bounded nonzero curvature, the lattice point discrepancy (number of integer points minus volume) of a linearly dilated copy is estimated from below. On the basis of a recent method of K. Soundararajan [16], an -bound is obtained that improves upon all earlier results of this kind.Dedicated to the memory of Professor Erich LamprechtThis revised electronic version of the Abstract includes the formulas that were missing in the previous electronic version published online in September 2004.     

A space cubic and its one-parameter automorphism groups

On the atomic conditions of lattice-ordered groups

We introduce large convex -subgroups to study the structure of the lattice-ordered groups G whose C(G), P(G) and (G) satisfy atomic conditions, where C(G), P(G) and (G) denote respectively the lattice of all convex -subgroups, the lattice of all polar subgroups and the root system of all regular subgroups of G. In particular, we construct a new torsion class defined as the class of -groups G for which all large prime subgroups are maximal. We prove that the class of hyperarchimedean -groups is properly contained within and that any -group within has the property that any chain of prime subgroups has length at most 2.Received October 7, 2003; accepted in final form June 11, 2004.     

On an Essentially Algebraic Theory for Locally Presentable Categories

This paper presents a general construction, defining for each given strong generator in any locally finitely presentable category an essentially algebraic, finitary theory – maximal in a certain sense – such that is equivalent to the category of models of . For regular generators , generalization to the non-finitary case is easily done, and yields a new proof of the famous characterization of many-sorted quasivarieties.     

Linear response of a viscous liquid sheet to external pressure perturbation. Long wave approximations

This paper is concerned with the linear signal response analysis of a thin viscous liquid sheet which is at rest in an appropriate frame of reference and in contact with passive external media, and on which localized external pressures act from the passive media as sources of perturbation.The frame of the analysis is provided by general formulae for the response signals of the sheet in the two excitation modes, sinuous and varicose, which result as the solution of the appropriate fluid dynamic initial-boundary value problems by the Fourier-Laplace transform technique. These formulae display how the signals depend on the nature of the perturbation and on the spectrum of the (linear) eigenmodes of the sheet.The signals can be evaluated either numerically or, as initiated in this paper, analytically, in long wave approximations. The long wave approximation will be seen in the sequel to concentrate on particular eigenmodes of the sheet spectrum, with small values k of the wave vector along the sheet. The present paper is devoted mainly to a detailed analysis of the spectrum of eigenmodes of the sheet, and to the formulation of long wave approximations of (linear) response signals of the sheet in the context of this analysis.It turns out that the sheet spectrum of eigenmodes depends on only one characteristic number , which depends on the (positive) fluid parameters: the surface tension at (both) the interfaces of the sheet, the density of the fluid, its kinematic viscosity , and on the thickness h of the sheet: This number is closely related, by to the Ohnesorge number where is the dynamic viscosity of the liquid.It will be shown in the sequel that of the infinitely many branches of the sheet spectrum only two (pairs of) soft branches, one sinuous and one varicose, will be relevant for a long wave approximation. For these branches asymptotic expansions of the dispersion relations (k) between the (complex) mode frequencies and for long waves (i.e. for k  0), which obey (k)  0 with k  0, will be derived.The analytic long wave dispersion relations for the (soft) sinuous and varicose spectral branches allow a very favourable insight into the qualitative mode behaviour, including analogies beyond liquid sheets. They show e.g. that to their lowest orders in k the soft sinuous modes are nondispersive, i.e. and only weakly absorptive, i.e.   k² for low viscosity and   k⁴ for high viscosity ( < 0). Their signals are therefore expected to have some resemblance to signals of a flexible membrane on the one side and those of a (2-dimensional) diffusion process, or a hyperdiffusion process where is replaced by The behaviour of the soft varicose modes will be seen to depend on the value of : For ² < 4 the asymptotic expansion for k  0 gives

Subdominant Matroid Ultrametrics

Given a matroid M on the ground set E, the Bergman fan or space of M-ultrametrics, is a polyhedral complex in which arises in several different areas, such as tropical algebraic geometry, dynamical systems, and phylogenetics. Motivated by the phylogenetic situation, we study the following problem: Given a point in we wish to find an M-ultrametric which is closest to it in the -metric. The solution to this problem follows easily from the existence of the subdominant M-ultrametric: a componentwise maximum M-ultrametric which is componentwise smaller than . A procedure for computing it is given, which brings together the points of view of matroid theory and tropical geometry. When the matroid in question is the graphical matroid of the complete graph K_n, the Bergman fan parameterizes the equidistant phylogenetic trees with n leaves. In this case, our results provide a conceptual explanation for Chepoi and Fichets method for computing the tree that most closely matches measured data.Received August 12, 2004
