Carleson measure problems for parabolic Bergman spaces and homogeneous Sobolev spaces

Let be the space of solutions to the parabolic equation having finite norm. We characterize nonnegative Radon measures μ on having the property , 1≤p≤q<∞, whenever . Meanwhile, denoting by v(t,x) the solution of the above equation with Cauchy data v₀(x), we characterize nonnegative Radon measures μ on satisfying , β∈(0,n), p∈[1,n/β], q∈(0,∞). Moreover, we obtain the decay of v(t,x), an isocapacitary inequality and a trace inequality.     

Characterizations of Besov-type and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces via maximal functions and local means

Let s∈R. In this paper, the authors first establish the maximal function characterizations of the Besov-type space with and τ∈[0,∞), the Triebel-Lizorkin-type space with p∈(0,∞), q∈(0,∞] and τ∈[0,∞), the Besov-Hausdorff space with p∈(1,∞), q∈[1,∞) and and the Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff space with and , where t^′ denotes the conjugate index of t∈[1,∞]. Using this characterization, the authors further obtain the local mean characterizations of these function spaces via functions satisfying the Tauberian condition and establish a Fourier multiplier theorem on these spaces. All these results generalize the existing classical results on Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces by taking τ=0 and are also new even for Q spaces and Hardy-Hausdorff spaces.     

Higher Kurtz randomness

A real x is -Kurtz random (-Kurtz random) if it is in no closed null set ( set). We show that there is a cone of -Kurtz random hyperdegrees. We characterize lowness for -Kurtz randomness as being -dominated and -semi-traceable.     

On the relation between cluster and classical tilting

Let be a triangulated category with a cluster tilting subcategory U. The quotient category is abelian; suppose that it has finite global dimension.We show that projection from to sends cluster tilting subcategories of to support tilting subcategories of , and that, in turn, support tilting subcategories of can be lifted uniquely to weak cluster tilting subcategories of .     

On the Wiener integral with respect to a sub-fractional Brownian motion on an interval

The domain of the Wiener integral with respect to a sub-fractional Brownian motion , , k≠0, is characterized. The set is a Hilbert space which contains the class of elementary functions as a dense subset. If , any element of is a function and if , the domain is a space of distributions.

Finite-sample inference with monotone incomplete multivariate normal data, II

We continue our recent work on inference with two-step, monotone incomplete data from a multivariate normal population with mean and covariance matrix . Under the assumption that is block-diagonal when partitioned according to the two-step pattern, we derive the distributions of the diagonal blocks of and of the estimated regression matrix, . We represent in terms of independent matrices; derive its exact distribution, thereby generalizing the Wishart distribution to the setting of monotone incomplete data; and obtain saddlepoint approximations for the distributions of and its partial Iwasawa coordinates. We prove the unbiasedness of a modified likelihood ratio criterion for testing , where is a given matrix, and obtain the null and non-null distributions of the test statistic. In testing , where and are given, we prove that the likelihood ratio criterion is unbiased and obtain its null and non-null distributions. For the sphericity test, , we obtain the null distribution of the likelihood ratio criterion. In testing we show that a modified locally most powerful invariant statistic has the same distribution as a Bartlett-Pillai-Nanda trace statistic in multivariate analysis of variance.     

Second order, multi-point problems with variable coefficients

In this paper, we consider the eigenvalue problem consisting of the equation where and λ∈R, together with the multi-point boundary conditions where m^±?1 are integers, and, for i=1,…,m^±, , , with , . We show that if the coefficients are sufficiently small (depending on r), then the spectral properties of this problem are similar to those of the usual separated problem, but if the coefficients are not sufficiently small, then these standard spectral properties need not hold. The spectral properties of such multi-point problems have been obtained before for the constant coefficient case (r≡1), but the variable coefficient case has not been considered previously (apart from the existence of ‘principal’ eigenvalues).Some nonlinear multi-point problems are also considered. We obtain a (partial) Rabinowitz-type result on global bifurcation from the eigenvalues, and various nonresonance conditions for the existence of general solutions and also of nodal solutions—these results rely on the spectral properties of the linear problem.     

Superlinear elliptic equations with singular coefficients on the boundary

In this paper, a superlinear elliptic equation whose coefficient diverges on the boundary is studied in any bounded domain Ω under the zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Although the equation has a singularity on the boundary, a solution is smooth on the closure of the domain. Indeed, it is proved that the problem has a positive solution and infinitely many solutions without positivity, which belong to or . Moreover, it is proved that a positive solution has a higher order regularity up to .     

Liouville theorems for quasi-harmonic functions

Let N be a compact Riemannian manifold. A self-similar solution for the heat flow is a harmonic map from to N (n≥3), which was also called a quasi-harmonic sphere (cf. Lin and Wang (1999) [1]). (Here is the Euclidean metric in .) It arises from the blow-up analysis of the heat flow at a singular point. When and without the energy constraint, we call this a quasi-harmonic function. In this paper, we prove that there is neither a nonconstant positive quasi-harmonic function nor a nonconstant quasi-harmonic function. However, for all 1≤p≤n/(n−2), there exists a nonconstant quasi-harmonic function in .     

New applications of Besov-type and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces

In this paper, the authors prove that Besov-Morrey spaces are proper subspaces of Besov-type spaces and that Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces are special cases of Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces . The authors also establish an equivalent characterization of when τ∈[0,1/p). These Besov-type spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces were recently introduced to connect Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with Q spaces. Moreover, for the spaces and , the authors investigate their trace properties and the boundedness of the pseudo-differential operators with homogeneous symbols in these spaces, which generalize the corresponding classical results of Jawerth and Grafakos-Torres by taking τ=0.     

How to play the Majority game with a liar

The Majority game is played by a questioner () and an answerer (). holds n elements, each of which can be labeled as 0 or 1. is trying to identify some element holds as having the Majority label or, in the case of a tie, claim there is none. To do this asks questions comparing whether two elements have the same or different label. ’s goal is to ask as few questions as possible while ’s goal is to delay as much as possible. Let q^∗ denote the minimal number of questions needed for to identify a Majority element regardless of ’s answers.In this paper we investigate upper and lower bounds for q^∗ in a variation of the Majority game, where is allowed to lie up to t times. We consider two versions of the game, the adaptive (where questions are asked sequentially) and the oblivious (where questions are asked in one batch).

Also, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a general linear fractional differential equation , in is given.     

Quadratic prediction problems in multivariate linear models

Linear and quadratic prediction problems in finite populations have become of great interest to many authors recently. In the present paper, we mainly aim to extend the problem of quadratic prediction from a general linear model, of form , to a multivariate linear model, denoted by with . Firstly, the optimal invariant quadratic unbiased (OIQU) predictor and the optimal invariant quadratic (potentially) biased (OIQB) predictor of for any particular symmetric nonnegative definite matrix satisfying are derived. Secondly, we consider predicting and . The corresponding restricted OIQU predictor and restricted OIQB predictor for them are given. In addition, we also offer four concluding remarks. One concerns the generalization of predicting and , and the others are concerned with three possible extensions from multivariate linear models to growth curve models, to restricted multivariate linear models, and to matrix elliptical linear models.     

A further refinement of a three critical points theorem

In this paper, we complete the refinement process, made by Ricceri (2009) [4], of a result established by Ricceri (2000) [1], which is one of the most applied abstract multiplicity theorems in the past decade. A sample of application of our new result is as follows.Let (n≥3) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary and let .Then, for each ?>0 small enough, there exists λ_?>0 such that, for every compact interval , there exists ρ>0 with the following property: for every λ∈[a,b] and every continuous function satisfying for some , there exists δ>0 such that, for each ν∈[0,δ], the problem has at least three weak solutions whose norms in are less than ρ.     

Polar syzygies in characteristic zero: The monomial case

Given a set of forms , where k is a field of characteristic zero, we focus on the first syzygy module Z of the transposed Jacobian module , whose elements are called differential syzygies of . There is a distinct submodule P⊂Z coming from the polynomial relations of through its transposed Jacobian matrix, the elements of which are called polar syzygies of . We say that is polarizable if equality P=Z holds. This paper is concerned with the situation where are monomials of degree 2, in which case one can naturally associate to them a graph with loops and translate the problem into a combinatorial one. The main result is a complete combinatorial characterization of polarizability in terms of special configurations in this graph. As a consequence, we show that polarizability implies normality of the subalgebra and that the converse holds provided the graph is free of certain degenerate configurations. One main combinatorial class of polarizability is the class of polymatroidal sets. We also prove that if the edge graph of has diameter at most 2 then is polarizable. We establish a curious connection with birationality of rational maps defined by monomial quadrics.
