Some Results on the Polar Derivative of a Polynomial

Let P(z) be a polynomial of degree n and for any complex number α, let Dα P(z) = n P(z)+(α-z)P′(z) denote the polar derivative of P(z) with respect to α. In this paper, we obtain certain inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial with restricted zeros. Our results generalize and sharpen some well-known polynomial inequalities.     

SOME POLYNOMIAL INEQUALITIES IN THE COMPLEX DOMAIN

P（z）=∑v=0^n cvz^v
be a polynomial of degree n and let M（f, r） = max｜z｜=r ｜f（z） ｜ for an arbitrary entire function f（z）. If P（z） has no zeros in ｜z｜ 〈 1 with M（P,1） = 1, then for ｜α｜ 〈 1, it is proved by Jain[Glasnik Matematicki, 32（52） （1997）, 45-51] that
｜P（Rz）＋α（R＋1/2）^nP（z）｜≤1/2{｜1＋α（R＋1/2）^n｜＋｜R^n＋α（（R＋1/2）^n｜},R≥1,｜z｜=1.
In this paper, we shall first obtain a result concerning minimum modulus of polynomials and next improve the above inequality for polynomials with restricted zeros. Our result improves the well known inequality due to Ankeny and Rivlin and besides generalizes some well known polynomial inequalities proved by Aziz and Dawood.

Non-real Zeros of Derivatives of Real Entire Functions and the Pólya-Wiman Conjectures

A function f is in the class $ V_2p $ iff $ f(z) = e^{-az^{2p+2}}g(z) $ where a S 0 and g is a constant multiple of a real entire function of genus h 2 p + 1 with only real zeros. The class $ U_2p $ is defined as follows: $ U_0 = V_0 $ , $ U_{2p} = V_{2p}-V_{2p-2} $ . Functions in the class $ U_{2p}^{*} $ are represented as $ g(z) = c(z)f(z) $ where $ f\in U_{2p} $ and c is a real polynomial with no real zeros. Every real entire function g , of finite order with at most finitely many non-real zeros satisfies $ g\in U_{2p}^{*} $ for a unique p . We show the exact number of non-real zeros of f" , for $ f\in U_{2p} $ , in terms of the number of non-real zeros of f' and a geometrical condition on the components of Im Q ( z ) > 0, where $ \displaystyle Q(z) = z-({f(z)}/{f'(z)}) $ . Further, for a subclass of $ f\in U_{2p} $ , we show necessary and sufficient conditions for f" to have exactly 2 p non-real zeros. For a subclass of $ U_{2p}^{*} $ we show that if f' has only real zeros, then f" has exactly 2 p non-real zeros. For $ f\in U_{2p}^{*} $ we show that 2 p is a lower bound for the number of non-real zeros of $ f^{(k)} $ for k S 2.     

An Extension of Chebyshev＇s Maximum Principle to Several Variables

Spectral properties of solutions of hypergeometric-type differential equations

The second-order differential equation σ(x)y″ + τ(x)y′ + λy = 0 is usually called equation of hypergeometric type, provided that σ, τ are polynomials of degree not higher than two and one, respectively, and λ is a constant. Their solutions are commonly known as hypergeometric-type functions (HTFs). In this work, a study of the spectrum of zeros of those HTFs for which , v , and σ, τ are independent of ν, is done within the so-called semiclassical (or WKB) approximation. Specifically, the semiclassical or WKB density of zeros of the HTFs is obtained analytically in a closed way in terms of the coefficients of the differential equation that they satisfy. Applications to the Gaussian and confluent hypergeometric functions as well as to Hermite functions are shown.     

On the coefficients of a polynomial with restricted zeros

LetP(Z)=αn Zn + αn-1Zn-1 +…+α0 be a complex polynomial of degree n. There is a close connection between the coefficients and the zeros of P(z). In this paper we prove some sharp inequalities concerning the coeffi-cients of the polynomial P(z) with restricted zeros. We also establish a sufficient condition for the separation of zeros of P(z).

Das Wachstum ganzer Lösungen gewisser linearer Funktional-Differentialgleichungen

The growth of entire solutions of the functional-differential equation is estimated by means of a suitably constructed comparison function. Furthermore, an explicit representation of all entire solutions is given which in certain cases makes possible conclusions concerning location and multiplicity of the zeros of particular solutions. Finally the growth of the maximum and minimum modulus of the solutions is compared which implies an estimate of the number of zeros.     

Entire Approximations to the Truncated Powers

For a variation diminishing function $g$ which is analytic on a set containing the real line and any real polynomial $P$, we prove that $g+P$ has at most $\text{deg}(P)+2$ real zeros. Based on this estimate, we present a way to construct entire approximations $G_n$ to the truncated powers $x_+^n$ for $n\in{\bf N}_0$. Here $x_+^n=x^n$ for $x>0$ and $x_+^n=0$ for $x<0$. The function $G_n$ is constructed in such a way that \[ G_n(x)-x_+^n=F(x)H_n(x)\] holds, where $F$ is entire and $H_n$ has no zeros on the real line. The function $G_n$ can be viewed as an interpolant of $x_+^n$ with a nodal set that is given by the (real) zeros of $F$. As an application of this method, we give explicit formulas for best $L^1({\bf R})$-approximation and best one-sided $L^1({\bf R})$-approximation from the class of entire functions with given exponential type $\eta$ to $x_+^n$. These approximations are given in terms of the logarithmic derivative of the Euler Gamma function.     

Full quadrature sums for pth powers of polynomials with Freud weights

In this paper, we provide a solution of the quadrature sum problem of R. Askey for a class of Freud weights. Let r> 0, b (− ∞, 2]. We establish a full quadrature sum estimate

1 p < ∞, for every polynomial P of degree at most n + rn^1/3, where W² is a Freud weight such as exp(−¦x¦), > 1, λ_jn are the Christoffel numbers, x_jn are the zeros of the orthonormal polynomials for the weight W², and C is independent of n and P. We also prove a generalisation, and that such an estimate is not possible for polynomials P of degree M = m(n) if m(n) = n + ξ_nn^1/3, where ξ_n → ∞ as n → ∞. Previous estimates could sum only over those x_jn with ¦x_jn¦ σx_1n, some fixed 0 < σ < 1.     

PREDUAL SPACES FOR Q SPACES

To find the predual spaces Pα（R^n） of Qα（R^n） is an important motivation in the study of Q spaces. In this article, wavelet methods are used to solve this problem in a constructive way. First, an wavelet tent atomic characterization of Pα（Rn） is given, then its usual atomic characterization and Poisson extension characterization are given. Finally, the continuity on Pα of Calderon-Zygmund operators is studied, and the result can be also applied to give the Morrey characterization of Pα（Rn）.     

STABILIZED FEM FOR CONVECTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEMS ON LAYER-ADAPTED MESHES

The application of a standard Galerkin finite element method for convection-diffusion problems leads to oscillations in the discrete solution, therefore stabilization seems to be necessary. We discuss several recent stabilization methods, especially its combination with a Galerkin method on layer-adapted meshes. Supercloseness results obtained allow an improvement of the discrete solution using recovery techniques.     

A TWO-SCALE HIGHER-ORDER FINITE ELEMENT DISCRETIZATION FOR SCHROEDINGER EQUATION

In this paper, a two-scale higher-order finite element discretization scheme is proposed and analyzed for a Schroedinger equation on tensor product domains. With the scheme, the solution of the eigenvalue problem on a fine grid can be reduced to an eigenvalue problem on a much coarser grid together with some eigenvalue problems on partially fine grids. It is shown theoretically and numerically that the proposed two-scale higher-order scheme not only significantly reduces the number of degrees of freedom but also produces very accurate approximations.     

FINITE ELEMENTS WITH LOCAL PROJECTION STABILIZATION FOR INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW PROBLEMS

In this paper we review recent developments in the analysis of finite element methods for incompressible flow problems with local projection stabilization （LPS）. These methods preserve the favourable stability and approximation properties of classical residual-based stabilization （RBS） techniques but avoid the strong coupling of velocity and pressure in the stabilization terms. LPS-methods belong to the class of symmetric stabilization techniques and may be characterized as variational multiscale methods. In this work we summarize the most important a priori estimates of this class of stabilization schemes developed in the past 6 years. We consider the Stokes equations, the Oseen linearization and the NavierStokes equations. Furthermore, we apply it to optimal control problems with linear（ized） flow problems, since the symmetry of the stabilization leads to the nice feature that the operations ＂discretize＂ and ＂optimize＂ commute.     

AN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMAL CONTROL AND OPTIMAL CONTROL SUBJECT TO INTEGRAL CONSTRAINTS

We introduce a new and efficient numerical method for multicriterion optimal control and single criterion optimal control under integral constraints. The approach is based on extending the state space to include information on a ＂budget＂ remaining to satisfy each constraint; the augmented Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDE is then solved numerically. The efficiency of our approach hinges on the causality in that PDE, i.e., the monotonicity of characteristic curves in one of the newly added dimensions. A semi-Lagrangian ＂marching＂ method is used to approximate the discontinuous viscosity solution efficiently. We compare this to a recently introduced ＂weighted sum＂ based algorithm for the same problem [25]. We illustrate our method using examples from flight path planning and robotic navigation in the presence of friendly and adversarial observers.
