Elliptic function of level 4

The article is devoted to the theory of elliptic functions of level n. An elliptic function of level n determines a Hirzebruch genus called an elliptic genus of level n. Elliptic functions of level n are also of interest because they are solutions of the Hirzebruch functional equations. The elliptic function of level 2 is the Jacobi elliptic sine function, which determines the famous Ochanine–Witten genus. It is the exponential of the universal formal group of the form F(u, v) = (u² ? v²)/(uB(v) ? vB(u)), B(0) = 1. The elliptic function of level 3 is the exponential of the universal formal group of the form F(u, v) = (u²A(v) ? v²A(u))/(uA(v)² ? vA(u)²), A(0) = 1, A″(0) = 0. In the present study we show that the elliptic function of level 4 is the exponential of the universal formal group of the form F(u, v) = (u²A(v) ? v²A(u))/(uB(v) ? vB(u)), where A(0) = B(0) = 1 and for B′(0) = A″(0) = 0, A′(0) = A₁, and B″(0) = 2B₂ the following relation holds: (2B(u) + 3A₁u)² = 4A(u)³ ? (3A₁² ? 8B₂)u²A(u)². To prove this result, we express the elliptic function of level 4 in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic functions.     

Neighborhood contraction in graphs

Let G be a graph and v be any vertex of G. Then the neighborhood contracted graphG_v of G, with respect to the vertex v, is the graph with vertex set V ? N(v), where two vertices u,w ∈ V ? N(v) are adjacent in G_v if either w = v and u is adjacent to any vertex of N(v) in G or u,w ? N[v] and u,w are adjacent in G. The properties of the neighborhood contracted graphs are discussed in this paper. The neighborhood contraction in some special class of graphs, the domination in a graph and the neighborhood contracted graphs are discussed in the paper.     

On calibrated and separating sub-actions

We consider a one-sided transitive subshift of finite type σ: Σ → Σ and a Hölder observable A. In the ergodic optimization model, one is interested in properties of A-minimizing probability measures. If ā denotes the minimizing ergodic value of A, a sub-action u for A is by definition a continuous function such that A ≥ u ○ σ ? u + ā. We call contact locus of u with respect to A the subset of Σ where A = u ○ σ ? u + ā. A calibrated sub-action u gives the possibility to construct, for any point x ε Σ, backward orbits in the contact locus of u. In the opposite direction, a separating sub-action gives the smallest contact locus of A, that we call Ω(A), the set of non-wandering points with respect to A.We prove that separating sub-actions are generic among Hölder sub-actions. We also prove that, under certain conditions on Ω(A), any calibrated sub-action is of the form u(x) = u(x _i ) + h _A (x _i , x) for some x _i ∈ Ω(A), where h _A (x, y) denotes the Peierls barrier of A. We present the proofs in the holonomic optimization model, a formalism which allows to take into account a two-sided transitive subshift of finite type \((\hat \Sigma , \hat \sigma )\).     

Homological Epimorphisms, Compactly Generated t-Structures and Gorenstein-Projective Modules

The aim of this paper is two-fold. Given a recollement (T′, T, T″, i*, i_*, i^!, j_!, j*, j_*), where T′, T, T″ are triangulated categories with small coproducts and T is compactly generated. First, the authors show that the BBD-induction of compactly generated t-structures is compactly generated when i_* preserves compact objects. As a con-sequence, given a ladder (T′, T, T″, T, T′) of height 2, then the certain BBD-induction of compactly generated t-structures is compactly generated. The authors apply them to the recollements induced by homological ring epimorphisms. This is the first part of their work. Given a recollement (D(B-Mod),D(A-Mod),D(C-Mod), i*, i_*, i^!, j_!, j*, j_*) induced by a homological ring epimorphism, the last aim of this work is to show that if A is Gorenstein, _A B has finite projective dimension and j_! restricts to D ^b (C-mod), then this recollement induces an unbounded ladder (B-Gproj,A-Gproj, C-Gproj) of stable categories of finitely generated Gorenstein-projective modules. Some examples are described.     

A Riemann-Hilbert Problem for the Moisil-Teodorescu System

In a bounded domain with smooth boundary in ?³ we consider the stationary Maxwell equations for a function u with values in ?³ subject to a nonhomogeneous condition (u, v)_x = u₀ on the boundary, where v is a given vector field and u₀ a function on the boundary. We specify this problem within the framework of the Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problems for the Moisil-Teodorescu system. This latter is proved to satisfy the Shapiro-Lopaniskij condition if an only if the vector v is at no point tangent to the boundary. The Riemann-Hilbert problem for the Moisil-Teodorescu system fails to possess an adjoint boundary value problem with respect to the Green formula, which satisfies the Shapiro-Lopatinskij condition. We develop the construction of Green formula to get a proper concept of adjoint boundary value problem.     

Minimum implicit degree condition restricted to claws for hamiltonian cycles

Let id(v) denote the implicit degree of a vertex v in a graph G. We define G to be implicit 1-heavy (implicit 2-heavy) if at least one (two) of the end vertices of each induced claw has (have) implicit degree at least n/2. In this paper, we prove that: (a) Let G be a 2-connected graph of order n ≥ 3. If G is implicit 2-heavy and |N(u) ∩ N(v)| ≥ 2 for every pair of vertices u and v with d(u, v) = 2 and max{id(u), id(v)} < n/2, then G is hamiltonian. (b) Let G be a 3-connected graph of order n ≥ 3. If G is implicit 1-heavy and |N(u) ∩ N(v)| ≥ 2 for each pair of vertices u and v with d(u, v) = 2 and max{id(u), id(v)} < n/2, then G is hamiltonian.     

Differences of Idempotents In <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras and the Quantum Hall Effect

Let ? be a trace on the unital C*-algebra A and M _? be the ideal of the definition of the trace ?. We obtain a C*analogue of the quantum Hall effect: if P,Q ∈ A are idempotents and P ? Q ∈ M _? , then ?((P ? Q)²ⁿ⁺¹) = ?(P ? Q) ∈ R for all n ∈ N. Let the isometries U ∈ A and A = A*∈ A be such that I+A is invertible and U-A ∈ M _? with ?(U-A) ∈ R. Then I-A, I?U ∈ M _? and ?(I?U) ∈ R. Let n ∈ N, dimH = 2n + 1, the symmetry operators U, V ∈ B(H), and W = U ? V. Then the operator W is not a symmetry, and if V = V*, then the operator W is nonunitary.     

Factorization of the reaction-diffusion equation,the wave equation,and other equations

We investigate equations of the form D _t u = Δu + ξ? _u for an unknown function u(t, x), t ∈ ?, x ∈ X, where D _t u = a ₀(u, t) + Σ _k=1 ^r a _k (t, u)? _t ^k u, Δ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a Riemannian manifold X, and ξ is a smooth vector field on X. More exactly, we study morphisms from this equation within the category PDE of partial differential equations, which was introduced by the author earlier. We restrict ourselves to morphisms of a special form—the so-called geometric morphisms, which are given by maps of X to other smooth manifolds (of the same or smaller dimension). It is shown that a map f: X → Y defines a morphism from the equation D _t u = Δu + ξ? _u if and only if, for some vector field Ξ and a metric on Y, the equality (Δ + ξ?)f*v = f*(Δ + Ξ?)v holds for any smooth function v: Y → ?. In this case, the quotient equation is D _t v = Δv + Ξ?v for an unknown function v(t, y), y ∈ Y. It is also shown that, if a map f: X → Y is a locally trivial bundle, then f defines a morphism from the equation D _t u = Δu if and only if fibers of f are parallel and, for any path γ on Y, the expansion factor of a fiber translated along the horizontal lift γ to X depends on γ only.     

Weak-type Estimates and Potential Estimates for Elliptic Equations with Drift Terms

We consider divergence form elliptic equations with a strongly singular drift term ?d i v(A?u)+b??u=μ in a domain \({\Omega } \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}\) (n≥3). We give a weak-type \(L^{1} - L^{n / (n - 2), \infty }\) estimate for a solution to the Dirichlet problem with homogeneous boundary condition. Moreover, we give a two-sided pointwise potential estimate for a weak solution and its applications.     

An Obstacle Problem for Nonlocal Equations in Perforated Domains

In this paper we analyze the behavior of solutions to a nonlocal equation of the form J ? u (x) ? u (x) = f (x) in a perforated domain Ω ? A ^?? with u = 0 in \(A^{\epsilon } \cup {\Omega }^{c}\) and an obstacle constraint, u ≥ ψ in Ω ? A ^?? . We show that, assuming that the characteristic function of the domain Ω ? A ^?? verifies \(\chi _{\epsilon } \rightharpoonup \mathcal {X}\) weakly ^? in \(L^{\infty }({\Omega })\), there exists a weak limit of the solutions u ^?? and we find the limit problem that is satisfied in the limit. When \(\mathcal {X} \not \equiv 1\) in this limit problem an extra term appears in the equation as well as a modification of the obstacle constraint inside the domain.     

Some minimax problems in lexicographic order

In this paper, minimax theorems and saddle points for a class of vector-valued mappings f(x, y) = u(x)+β(x)v(y) are first investigated in the sense of lexicographic order, where u, v are two general vector-valued mappings and β is a non-negative real-valued function. Then, by applying the existence theorem of lexicographic saddle point, we investigate a lexicographic equilibrium problem and establish an equivalent relationship between the lexicographic saddle point theorem and existence theorem of a lexicographic equilibrium problem for vector-valued mappings.     

On Generalized Derivations and Centralizers of Operator Algebras with Involution

Let B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H and A(H) ? B(H) be a standard operator algebra which is closed under the adjoint operation. Let F: A(H)→ B(H) be a linear mapping satisfying F(AA*A) = F(A)A*A + Ad(A*)A + AA*d(A) for all A ∈ A(H), where the associated linear mapping d: A(H) → B(H) satisfies the relation d(AA*A) = d(A)A*A + Ad(A*)A + AA*d(A) for all A ∈ A(H). Then F is of the form F(A) = SA ? AT for all A ∈ A(H) and some S, T ∈ B(H), that is, F is a generalized derivation. We also prove some results concerning centralizers on A(H) and semisimple H^*-algebras.     

Spectral analysis for infinite rank perturbations of unbounded diagonal operators

In this paper we study the spectral theory for the class of linear operators A _∞ defined on the so-called non-archimedean Hilbert space E _ω by, A _∞:= D + F _∞ where D is an unbounded diagonal linear operator and F _∞:= Σ _k=1 ^∞ u _k ? v _k is an operator of infinite rank on E _ω .     

Simplified anti-Gauss quadrature rules with applications in linear algebra

The need to compute inexpensive estimates of upper and lower bounds for matrix functions of the form w ^T f(A)v with \(A\in {\mathbb {R}}^{n\times n}\) a large matrix, f a function, and \(v,w\in {\mathbb {R}}^{n}\) arises in many applications such as network analysis and the solution of ill-posed problems. When A is symmetric, u = v, and derivatives of f do not change sign in the convex hull of the spectrum of A, a technique described by Golub and Meurant allows the computation of fairly inexpensive upper and lower bounds. This technique is based on approximating v ^T f(A)v by a pair of Gauss and Gauss-Radau quadrature rules. However, this approach is not guaranteed to provide upper and lower bounds when derivatives of the integrand f change sign, when the matrix A is nonsymmetric, or when the vectors v and w are replaced by “block vectors” with several columns. In the latter situations, estimates of upper and lower bounds can be computed quite inexpensively by evaluating pairs of Gauss and anti-Gauss quadrature rules. When the matrix A is large, the dominating computational effort for evaluating these estimates is the evaluation of matrix-vector products with A and possibly also with A ^T . The calculation of anti-Gauss rules requires one more matrix-vector product evaluation with A and maybe also with A ^T than the computation of the corresponding Gauss rule. The present paper describes a simplification of anti-Gauss quadrature rules that requires the evaluation of the same number of matrix-vector products as the corresponding Gauss rule. This simplification makes the computational effort for evaluating the simplified anti-Gauss rule negligible when the corresponding Gauss rule already has been computed.     

Differences of idempotents in <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-algebras

Suppose that P and Q are idempotents on a Hilbert space H, while Q = Q* and I is the identity operator in H. If U = P ? Q is an isometry then U = U* is unitary and Q = I ? P. We establish a double inequality for the infimum and the supremum of P and Q in H and P ? Q. Applications of this inequality are obtained to the characterization of a trace and ideal F-pseudonorms on a W*-algebra. Let φ be a trace on the unital C*-algebra A and let tripotents P and Q belong to A. If P ? Q belongs to the domain of definition of φ then φ(P ? Q) is a real number. The commutativity of some operators is established.     

On Eccentric Connectivity Index of Eccentric Graph of Regular Dendrimer

The eccentric connectivity index \(\xi ^c(G)\) of a connected graph G is defined as \(\xi ^c(G) =\sum _{v \in V(G)}{deg(v) e(v)},\) where deg(v) is the degree of vertex v and e(v) is the eccentricity of v. The eccentric graph, \(G_e\), of a graph G has the same set of vertices as G,  with two vertices u, v adjacent in \(G_e\) if and only if either u is an eccentric vertex of v or v is an eccentric vertex of u. In this paper, we obtain a formula for the eccentric connectivity index of the eccentric graph of a regular dendrimer. We also derive a formula for the eccentric connectivity index for the second iteration of eccentric graph of regular dendrimer.     

The characterization of a class of quantum Markov semigroups and the associated operator-valued Dirichlet forms based on Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-module <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>)

We characterize A-linear symmetric and contraction module operator semigroup{Tt}t∈R+L(l2(A)),where A is a finite-dimensional C-algebra,and L(l2(A))is the C-algebra of all adjointable module maps on l2(A).Next,we introduce the concept of operator-valued quadratic forms,and give a one to one correspondence between the set of non-positive definite self-adjoint regular module operators on l2(A)and the set of non-negative densely defined A-valued quadratic forms.In the end,we obtain that a real and strongly continuous symmetric semigroup{Tt}t∈R+L(l2(A))being Markovian if and only if the associated closed densely defined A-valued quadratic form is a Dirichlet form.     

A note on transitively <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis>-spaces

In this note, we show that if for any transitive neighborhood assignment φ for X there is a point-countable refinement ? such that for any non-closed subset A of X there is some V ∈ ? such that |V ∩ A| ? ω, then X is transitively D. As a corollary, if X is a sequential space and has a point-countable wcs*-network then X is transitively D, and hence if X is a Hausdorff k-space and has a point-countable k-network, then X is transitively D. We prove that if X is a countably compact sequential space and has a pointcountable wcs*-network, then X is compact. We point out that every discretely Lindelöf space is transitively D. Let (X, τ) be a space and let (X, ?) be a butterfly space over (X, τ). If (X, τ) is Fréchet and has a point-countable wcs*-network (or is a hereditarily meta-Lindelöf space), then (X, ?) is a transitively D-space.     

Ideals in Ca-Ag-Groupoids

An AG-groupoid S satisfying the identity u(vw) = w(uv) ?u,v,w∈S is called a CA-AGgroupoid [1]. This article is devoted to the study of various characterizations of (left/right) ideals in CA-AG-groupoids and to the relationships between (left/right) connected sets and (left/right) ideals in CA-AG-groupoids.     

Criterion for the Solvability of the Weighted Cauchy Problem for an Abstract Euler–Poisson–Darboux Equation

In a Banach space E, we consider the abstract Euler–Poisson–Darboux equation u″(t) + kt^?1u′(t) = Au(t) on the half-line. (Here k ∈ ? is a parameter, and A is a closed linear operator with dense domain on E.) We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the Cauchy problem u(0) = 0, lim _t→0+t ^k u′(t) = u₁, k < 0, for this equation. The condition is stated in terms of an estimate for the norms of the fractional power of the resolvent of A and its derivatives. We introduce the operator Bessel function with negative index and study its properties.
