Optimal estimates on rotation number of almost periodic systems

In this paper, we will give some optimal estimates on the rotation number of the linear equation and that of the asymmetric equation: where p(t) and q(t) are almost periodic functions and These estimates are obtained by introducing some kind of new norms in the spaces of almost periodic functions.

The normal subgroup structure of the extended Hecke groups

We consider the extended Hecke groups generated by T(z) = −1/z, S(z) = −1/(z + λ) and R(z) = 1/z with λ ≥ 2. In this paper, firstly, we study the fundamental region of the extended Hecke groups . Then, we determine the abstract group structure of the commutator subgroups , the even subgroup , and the power subgroups of the extended Hecke groups . Also, finally, we give some relations between them.     

Wavelets and Geometric Structure for Function Spaces

Abstract With Littlewood–Paley analysis, Peetre and Triebel classified, systematically, almost all the usual function spaces into two classes of spaces: Besov spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces ; but the structure of dual spaces of is very different from that of Besov spaces or that of Triebel–Lizorkin spaces, and their structure cannot be analysed easily in the Littlewood–Paley analysis. Our main goal is to characterize in tent spaces with wavelets. By the way, some applications are given: (i) Triebel–Lizorkin spaces for p = ∞ defined by Littlewood–Paley analysis cannot serve as the dual spaces of Triebel–Lizorkin spaces for p = 1; (ii) Some inclusion relations among these above spaces and some relations among and L ¹ are studied.

Effective Reducibility of a Class of Linear Differential Equations with Quasiperiodic Coefficients

In this paper we consider the effective reducibility of the following linear differentialequation: x = (A ∈Q(t,∈))x, |∈| ≤ ∈0, where A is a constant matrix, Q(t,e) is quasiperiodic in t, and e is a small perturbation parameter. We prove that if the eigenvalues of A and the basic frequencies of Q satisfy some non-resonant conditions, the linear differential equation can be reduced to y = (A^*(∈) R^*(t, ∈))y, |∈| ≤ ∈o, where R^* is exponentially small in ∈.

Hoermander＇s Multipliers for the Weighted Herz-type Hardy Spaces

In this article, we apply the molecular characterization of the weighted Hardy space developed by the first two authors to show the boundedness of Hormander multiplier on the weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces HK^α,p 2（｜x｜^t; ｜x｜^t） and HK^α,P 2（｜x｜^t; ｜x｜^t）.     

Stability and instability criteria for Kaplan–Yorke solutions

We derive sufficient conditions for the stability and instability of periodic solutions p:\mathbbR ? \mathbbRp:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} of Kaplan–Yorke type to the equation $\ifmmode\expandafter\dot\else\expandafter\.\fi{x}(t) = \alpha f(x(t),x(t - 1)),$\ifmmode\expandafter\dot\else\expandafter\.\fi{x}(t) = \alpha f(x(t),x(t - 1)), where f is even in the first and odd in the second argument. The criteria are based on the monotonicity of the coefficient in a transformed version of the variational equation. For the special case of cubic f, we show that this monotonicity property is satisfied if and only if the set { (p(t),p(t - 1))|t ? \mathbbR} ì \mathbbR² \{ (p(t),p(t - 1))|t \in \mathbb{R}\} \subset \mathbb{R}^{2} is contained in a region E defined by a quadratic form (bounded by an an ellipse or a hyperbola). The coefficients of this quadratic form are expressible in terms of the Taylor coefficients of f. Further, the parameter α in the equation and the amplitude z of the periodic solution are related by an elliptic integral. Using the relation between this integral and the arithmeticgeometric mean, we obtain upper and lower estimates on this relation, and on the inverse function. Combining these estimates with the inequality that defines the region E, we obtain stability criteria explicit in terms of the Taylor coefficients of f. These criteria go well beyond local stability analysis, as examples show.     

A Geometric Problem and the Hopf Lemma. Ⅱ

Abstract A classical result of A. D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth n-dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in ℝⁿ⁺¹, and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of M in a hyperplane X_n+1 =constant in case M satisfies: for any two points (X′,X_n+1), on M, with , the mean curvature at the first is not greater than that at the second. Symmetry need not always hold, but in this paper, we establish it under some additional conditions. Some variations of the Hopf Lemma are also presented. Several open problems are described. Part I dealt with corresponding one dimensional problems. (Dedicated to the memory of Shiing-Shen Chern) * Partially supported by NSF grant DMS-0401118.     

Hyperbolic Mapping Classes and Their Lifts on the Bers Fiber Space

Let S be a Riemann surface with genus p and n punctures. Assume that 3p - 3 n ＞ 0 and n ≥ 1. Let a be a puncture of S and let (～S) = S ∪ {a}. Then all mapping classes in the mapping class group Mods that fixes the puncture a can be projected to mapping classes of Mod(～S) under the forgetful map. In this paper the author studies the mapping classes in Mods that can be projected to a given hyperbolic mapping class in Mod(～S).     

The Invariance Principle for p-θ^→ Chain

There are two parts in this paper. In the first part we construct the Markov chain in random environment（MCRE）, the skew product Markov chain and p-θ^→ chain from a random transition matrix and a two-dimensional probability distribution, and in the second part we prove that the invarianee principle for p-θ^→ chain, a more complex non-homogeneous Markov chain, is true under some reasonable conditions. This result is more powerful.

Symmetrization of Closure Operators and Visibility

For an arbitrary set E and a given closure operator , we want to construct a symmetric closure operator via some – possibly infinite – iteration process. If E is finite, the corresponding symmetric closure operator . defines a matroid. If and is the convex closure operator, turns out to be the affine closure operator. Moreover, we apply the symmetrization process to closure operators induced by visibility. Received March 9, 2005
