The submartingale problem for a class of degenerate elliptic operators

We consider the degenerate elliptic operator acting on ${C^2_b}$ functions on [0,∞) ^d : $$\mathcal{L}f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^d a_i(x) x_i^{\alpha_i} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i^2} (x) +\sum_{i=1}^d b_i(x) \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}(x), $$ where the a _i are continuous functions that are bounded above and below by positive constants, the b _i are bounded and measurable, and the ${\alpha_i\in (0,1)}$ . We impose Neumann boundary conditions on the boundary of [0,∞) ^d . There will not be uniqueness for the submartingale problem corresponding to ${\mathcal{L}}$ . If we consider, however, only those solutions to the submartingale problem for which the process spends 0 time on the boundary, then existence and uniqueness for the submartingale problem for ${\mathcal{L}}$ holds within this class. Our result is equivalent to establishing weak uniqueness for the system of stochastic differential equations $$ {\rm d}X_t^i=\sqrt{2a_i(X_t)} (X_t^i)^{\alpha_i/2}{\rm d}W^i_t + b_i(X_t) {\rm d}t + {\rm d}L_t^{X^i},\quad X^i_t \geq 0, $$ where ${W_t^i}$ are independent Brownian motions and ${L^{X_i}_t}$ is a local time at 0 for X ⁱ .     

A note on approximation to the identity with iterated kernels

Пустьl ₁ иl ₂ — неотрицательные убывающие функции на (0, ∞). Допустим, что $$\int\limits_0^\infty {S^{n_i - 1} l_i (S)\left( {1 + \log + \frac{1}{{S^{n_i } l_i (S)}}} \right)dS}< \infty ,$$ , гдеn ₁ иn ₂ — натуральные числа. Тогда для каждой функции \(f \in L^1 (R^{n_1 + n_2 } )\) при почти всех (x₀, у₀) мы имеем $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\lambda \to \infty } \lambda ^{n_1 + n_2 } \int\limits_{R^{n_1 } } {\int\limits_{R^{n_2 } } {l_1 } } (\lambda |x|)l_2 (\lambda |y|)f(x_0 - x,y_0 - y)dx dy = f(x_0 ,y_0 )\int\limits_{R^{n_1 } } {\int\limits_{R^{n_2 } } {l_i (|x|)l_2 } } (|y|)dx dy.$$      

Existence of nontrivial solutions of linear functional equations

In this paper we study the functional equation $$\sum_{i=1}^n a_i f(b_i x+c_i h)=0 \quad (x, h \in \mathbb{C})$$ where a _i , b _i , c _i are fixed complex numbers and \({f \colon \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}}\) is the unknown function. We show, that if there is i such that \({b_i / c_i \neq b_j /c_j}\) holds for any \({1 \leq j \leq n,\ j \neq i}\) , the functional equation has a nonconstant solution if and only if there are field automorphisms \({\phi_1, \ldots, \phi_k}\) of \({\mathbb{C}}\) such that \({\phi_1 \cdots \phi_k}\) is a solution of the equation.     

Chen’ s theorem in arithmetical progressions

LetN be a sufficiently large even integer and $$\begin{gathered} q \geqslant 1, (l_i ,q) = 1 (i = 1, 2), \hfill \\ l_1 + l_2 \equiv N(\bmod q). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . It is proved that the equation $$N = p + P_2 ,p \equiv l_1 (\bmod q), P_2 \equiv l_2 (\bmod q)$$ has infinitely many solutions for almost all $q \leqslant N^{\frac{1}{{37}}} $ , wherep is a prime andP ₂ is an almost prime with at most two prime factors.     

Infinitely many solutions for the prescribed curvature problem of polyharmonic operator

We consider the following prescribed curvature problem for polyharmonic operator: $$\left\{\begin{array}{llll} D_{m} u = \tilde{K}(y)|u|^{m^*-2}u\; {\rm in}\; \mathbb{S}^N\\ u \quad\; >0\qquad\quad\quad\quad\quad{\rm on}\; \mathbb{S}^N\\ u \quad\; \in H^{m}(\mathbb{S}^N), \end{array} \right.$$ where ${m^*=\frac{2N}{N-2m}, N\geq 2m+1,m \in \mathbb{N}_{+}, \tilde{K}}$ is positive and rationally symmetric, ${\mathbb{S}^N}$ is the unit sphere with the induced Riemannian metric ${g=g_{\mathbb{S}^N},}$ and D _m is the elliptic differential operator of 2m order given by $$\begin{array}{lll}D_m={\prod\limits_{k=1}^m}{\left(-\Delta_g+\frac{1}{4}(N-2k)(N+2k-2)\right)}\end{array}$$ where Δ _g is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on ${\mathbb{S}^N}$ . We will show that problem (P) has infinitely many non-radial positive solutions, whose energy can be arbitrary large.     

On orthogonal polynomials

Мы доказываем следующие две теорем ы, являющиеся обобщен ием одного известного результа та Н. Винера. I. Для каждого δ, 0<δ<1, суще ствует числоB=B(δ, w) тако е, что если $$f_N (x) = \sum\limits_{j = 1}^N {a_j p_{v_j } (x)} $$ причем выполнено сле дующее условие лакун арности $$\begin{gathered} v_{j + 1} - v_j \geqq B(\delta ,w) (j = 1,2,...,N - 1), \hfill \\ v_1 \geqq B(\delta ,w) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ , то для некоторого С(δ, w) и всехh и δ, для которых $$ - 1 \leqq h - \delta< h + \delta \leqq + 1$$ , имеет место неравенс тво $$\int\limits_{ - 1}^1 {|f_N (x)|^2 w(x)dx \leqq C(\delta ,w)} \int\limits_{h - \delta }^{h + \delta } {|f_N (x)|^2 w(x)dx} $$ каковы бы ни былиa _j ,N и h. II. Если формальный ряд $$\sum\limits_{j = 1}^\infty {b_j p_{\mu _j } (x)} $$ удовлетворяет услов ию лакунарности μ_j+1-μ_j→∞ и суммируем, например, м етодом Абеля на произвольно малом отрезке [а, Ь] ?[0,1] к ф ункцииf(x) такой, что \(f(x)\sqrt {w(x)} \in L_2 [a,b]\) , то $$\sum\limits_j {|b_j |^2< \infty } $$ Теорема I — это первый ш аг в направлении проб лемы типа Мюнтца-Саса о замкнут ости подпоследовательно сти pv_j(x)} последовател ьности {р_n(х)} на отрезке [а, Ь] в метрике С[а, Ь] (см. теорему II стать и).

Absolute tauberian conditions for absolute hausdorff and quasi-hausdorff methods

The purpose of this paper is to prove that for a large set of absolute Hausdorff and quasi-Hausdorff methods the condition $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\left| {\lambda _n a_n - \lambda _{n - 1} a_{n - 1} } \right|< } \infty $$ is a Tauberian condition, i.e., its fulfillment together with the absolute summability of \(\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {a_n } \) tos implies that \(\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\left| {a_n } \right|}< \infty \) and \(\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {a_n } = s.\) a _n =s.     

On the regular summability of multiple function series and Lebesgue functions

Основной целью работ ы является обобщение одного результата Кратца и Т раутнера [4], известного для одном ерных функциональны х рядов, на кратные ряды. Этот рез ультат касается суммируемо сти функционального ряда почти всюду при слабых пред положениях. В частности, он примен им к суммируемости по Чезаро и по Риссу. Мы рассматриваемd-кр атный ряд $$\mathop \sum \limits_{k_1 = 0}^\infty \cdots \mathop \sum \limits_{k_d = 0}^\infty c_{k_1 ,...,k_d } f_{k_1 ,...,k_d } (x), \mathop \sum \limits_{k_1 = 0}^\infty \cdots \mathop \sum \limits_{k_d = 0}^\infty c_{k_1 ,...,k_d }^2< \infty $$ и предполагается, что функции \(f_{k_1 ,...,k_d } (x)\) интегрируе мы по пространству с полож ительной мерой и имеют почти вс юду ограниченные фун кции Лебега для метода суммирова ния Т. Метод Т определяетсяd-мерной матрицей \(T = \{ a_{m_1 ,...,m_d ;k_1 ,...,k_d } \} \) сл едующим образом: $$t_{m_1 ,...,m_d } (x) = \mathop \sum \limits_{k_1 = 0}^\infty \cdots \mathop \sum \limits_{k_d = 0}^\infty a_{m_1 ,...,m_d ;k_1 ,...,k_d } c_{k_1 ,...,k_d } f_{k_1 ,...,k_d } (x).$$ Эти средние существу ют, поскольку мы предп олагаем, что \(a_{m_1 ,...,m_d ;k_1 ,...,k_d } = 0\) ,если max(k ₁,...,k _d) достаточно вели к (в зависимости, конеч но, отm ₁,...,m _d). При некоторых дополнительных усло виях на матрицуТ (см. (7)– (9) в разделе 3) устанавлива ется почти всюду регулярная схо димость средних \(t_{m_1 ,...,m_d } (x) \user2{} \user2{(}m_1 \user2{,}...\user2{,}m_d \user2{)} \to \infty \) . Как вспомогательный результат, в работе об общается теорема Алексича [1] о сх одимости почти всюду некоторы х подпоследовательн остей частных сумм функцио нального ряда.     

Exact multiplicity for the perturbed Q-curvature problem in {\mathbb{R}^N,N \geq 5}

Let N ≥ 5 and \({{\mathcal{D}}^{2,2} (\mathbb{R}^N)}\) denote the closure of \({C_0^\infty (\mathbb{R}^N)}\) in the norm \({\|u\|_{{\mathcal{D}}^{2,2} (\mathbb{R}^N)}^2 := \int\nolimits_{\mathbb{R}^N} |\Delta u|^2.}\) Let \({K \in C^2 (\mathbb{R}^N).}\) We consider the following problem for ? ≥ 0: $$(P_\varepsilon) \left\{\begin{array}{llll}{\rm Find} \, u \in {\mathcal{D}}^{2, 2} (\mathbb{R}^N) \, \, {\rm solving} :\\ \left.\begin{array}{lll}\Delta^2 u = (1+ \varepsilon K (x)) u^{\frac{N+4}{N-4}}\\ u > 0 \end{array}\right\}{\rm in} \, \mathbb{R}^N.\end{array}\right.$$ We show an exact multiplicity result for (P _? ) for all small ? > 0.     

On the average number of direct factors of a finite Abelian group

Let \(T(x) = \sum\limits_{ord(G) \leqq x} {t(G),} \) , wheret(G) define the number of direct factors of a finite Abelian group.E. Krätzel ([5]) defined a remainderΔ ₁(x) in the asymptotic ofT(x) and proved $$\Delta _1 (x)<< x^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 {12}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {12}}} \log ^4 x.$$ Using two different methods to estimate a special three-dimensional exponential sum we get the better results $$\Delta _1 (x)<< x^{{{282} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{282} {683}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {683}}} \log ^4 x$$ and $$\Delta _1 (x)<< x^{{{45} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{45} {109}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {109}} + \varepsilon } (\varepsilon > 0).$$      

Arrangements of Hyperplanes and the Number of Threshold Functions

Two approaches on estimating the number of threshold functions which were recently developed by the author are discussed. Let P(K,n) denote the number of threshold functions in K-valued logic. The first approach establishes that $$P(K,n + 1) \geqslant \frac{1}{2}\left( {\mathop {K^{n - 1} }\limits_{\left\lfloor {n - 4 - 2\frac{n}{{\log _K n}}} \right\rfloor } } \right)P\left( {K,\left\lfloor {{\text{2}}\frac{n}{{\log _K n}} + 3} \right\rfloor } \right).$$ The key argument of investigation is the generalization of the result of Odlyzko on subspaces spanned by random selections of ±1-vectors. Let $E_K = \{ 0,1 \ldots ,K - 1\} $ and let E denote the set of all vectors $w_i ,i = 1, \ldots ,K^n $ , which have the form $(1,a_1 , \ldots ,a_n ),a_i \in E_K $ . Denote by $\Lambda _n (K)$ the number of all collections of different vectors $(w_{i_1 } , \ldots ,w_{i_n } ),2 \leqslant i_1 , \ldots ,i_n \leqslant \mathbb{K}^n $ , such that, for any k, $1 \leqslant k \leqslant n$ , the vector $w_{i_k } $ is minimal among all vectors from the set $E \cap {\text{span}}(w_{i_k } , \ldots ,w_{i_n } )$ . The second approach is based on topology-combinatorical techniques and allows to establish the following inequality $P(K,n) \geqslant 2\Lambda _n (K)$ .     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic distribution of the largest entry of a sample correlation matrix

Let {X _k,i ; i ≥ 1, k ≥ 1} be a double array of nondegenerate i.i.d. random variables and let {p _n ; n ≥ 1} be a sequence of positive integers such that n/p _n is bounded away from 0 and ∞. In this paper we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic distribution of the largest entry ${L_{n}={\rm max}_{1\leq i < j\leq p_{n}}|\hat{\rho}^{(n)}_{i,j}|}$ of the sample correlation matrix ${{\bf {\Gamma}}_{n}=(\hat{\rho}_{i,j}^{(n)})_{1\leq i,j\leq p_{n}}}$ where ${\hat{\rho}^{(n)}_{i,j}}$ denotes the Pearson correlation coefficient between (X _1,i , ..., X _n,i )′ and (X _1,j ,...,X _n,j )′. Write ${F(x)= \mathbb{P}(|X_{1,1}|\leq x), x\geq0}$ , ${W_{c,n}={\rm max}_{1\leq i < j\leq p_{n}}|\sum_{k=1}^{n}(X_{k,i}-c)(X_{k,j}-c)|}$ , and ${W_{n}=W_{0,n},n\geq1,c\in(-\infty,\infty)}$ . Under the assumption that ${\mathbb{E}|X_{1,1}|^{2+\delta} < \infty}$ for some δ > 0, we show that the following six statements are equivalent: $$ {\bf (i)} \quad \lim_{n \to \infty} n^{2}\int\limits_{(n \log n)^{1/4}}^{\infty}\left( F^{n-1}(x) - F^{n-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{n \log n}}{x}\right) \right) dF(x) = 0,$$ $$ {\bf (ii)}\quad n \mathbb{P}\left ( \max_{1 \leq i < j \leq n}|X_{1,i}X_{1,j} | \geq \sqrt{n \log n}\right ) \to 0 \quad{\rm as}\,n \to \infty,$$ $$ {\bf (iii)}\quad \frac{W_{\mu, n}}{\sqrt {n \log n}}\stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 2\sigma^{2},$$ $$ {\bf (iv)}\quad \left ( \frac{n}{\log n}\right )^{1/2} L_{n} \stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 2,$$ $$ {\bf (v)}\quad \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\mathbb{P}\left (\frac{W_{\mu, n}^{2}}{n \sigma^{4}} - a_{n}\leq t \right ) = \exp \left \{ - \frac{1}{\sqrt{8\pi}} e^{-t/2}\right \}, - \infty < t < \infty,$$ $$ {\bf (vi)}\quad \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\mathbb{P}\left (n L_{n}^{2} - a_{n}\leq t \right ) = \exp \left \{ - \frac{1}{\sqrt{8 \pi}} e^{-t/2}\right \}, - \infty < t < \infty$$ where ${\mu=\mathbb{E}X_{1,1}, \sigma^{2}=\mathbb{E}(X_{1,1} - \mu)^{2}}$ , and a _n  = 4 log p _n ? log log p _n . The equivalences between (i), (ii), (iii), and (v) assume that only ${\mathbb{E}X_{1,1}^{2} < \infty}$ . Weak laws of large numbers for W _n and L _n , n ≥  1, are also established and these are of the form ${W_{n}/n^{\alpha}\stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 0}\,(\alpha > 1/2)$ and ${n^{1-\alpha}L_{n}\stackrel{\mathbb{P}}{\rightarrow} 0}\,(1/2 < \alpha \leq 1)$ , respectively. The current work thus provides weak limit analogues of the strong limit theorems of Li and Rosalsky as well as a necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic distribution of L _n obtained by Jiang. Some open problems are also posed.     

On averages of Fourier coefficients of Maass cusp forms

Let φ be a primitive Maass cusp form and t _φ (n) be its nth Fourier coefficient at the cusp infinity. In this short note, we are interested in the estimation of the sums ${\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n)}$ and ${\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n^2)}$ . We are able to improve the previous results by showing that for any ${\varepsilon > 0}$ $$\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n) \ll\, _{\varphi, \varepsilon} x^{\frac{1027}{2827} + \varepsilon} \quad {and}\quad\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n^2) \ll\,_{\varphi, \varepsilon} x^{\frac{489}{861} + \varepsilon}.$$      

Large deviations for the empirical mean of an M/M/1 queue

Let $(Q(k):k\ge 0)$ be an $M/M/1$ queue with traffic intensity $\rho \in (0,1).$ Consider the quantity $$\begin{aligned} S_{n}(p)=\frac{1}{n}\sum _{j=1}^{n}Q\left( j\right) ^{p} \end{aligned}$$ for any $p>0.$ The ergodic theorem yields that $S_{n}(p) \rightarrow \mu (p) :=E[Q(\infty )^{p}]$ , where $Q(\infty )$ is geometrically distributed with mean $\rho /(1-\rho ).$ It is known that one can explicitly characterize $I(\varepsilon )>0$ such that $$\begin{aligned} \lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n}\log P\big (S_{n}(p)<\mu \left( p\right) -\varepsilon \big ) =-I\left( \varepsilon \right) ,\quad \varepsilon >0. \end{aligned}$$ In this paper, we show that the approximation of the right tail asymptotics requires a different logarithm scaling, giving $$\begin{aligned} \lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{n^{1/(1+p)}}\log P\big (S_{n} (p)>\mu \big (p\big )+\varepsilon \big )=-C\big (p\big ) \varepsilon ^{1/(1+p)}, \end{aligned}$$ where $C(p)>0$ is obtained as the solution of a variational problem. We discuss why this phenomenon—Weibullian right tail asymptotics rather than exponential asymptotics—can be expected to occur in more general queueing systems.
