矩阵方程$X A^*X^{-q}A=Q~(q\geq 1)$的Hermite正定解

In this paper, Hermitian positive definite solutions of the nonlinear matrix equation X ＋ A^＊X^-qA = Q （q≥1） are studied. Some new necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions are obtained. Two iterative methods are presented to compute the smallest and the quasi largest positive definite solutions, and the convergence analysis is also given. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.     

Representations of twisted Yangians associated with skew Young diagrams

Let $G_M$ be either the orthogonal group $O_M$ or the symplectic group $Sp_M$ over the complex field; in the latter case the non-negative integer $M$ has to be even. Classically, the irreducible polynomial representations of the group $G_M$ are labeled by partitions $\mu=(\mu_{1},\mu_{2},\,\ldots)$ such that $\mu^{\prime}_1+\mu^{\prime}_2\le M$ in the case $G_M=O_M$, or $2\mu^{\prime}_1\le M$ in the case $G_M=Sp_M$. Here $\mu^{\prime}=(\mu^{\prime}_{1},\mu^{\prime}_{2},\,\ldots)$ is the partition conjugate to $\mu$. Let $W_\mu$ be the irreducible polynomial representation of the group $G_M$ corresponding to $\mu$. Regard $G_N\times G_M$ as a subgroup of $G_{N+M}$. Then take any irreducible polynomial representation $W_\lambda$ of the group $G_{N+M}$. The vector space $W_{\lambda}(\mu)={\rm Hom}_{\,G_M}( W_\mu, W_\lambda)$ comes with a natural action of the group $G_N$. Put $n=\lambda_1-\mu_1+\lambda_2-\mu_2+\ldots\,$. In this article, for any standard Young tableau $\varOmega$ of skew shape $\lm$ we give a realization of $W_{\lambda}(\mu)$ as a subspace in the $n$-fold tensor product $(\mathbb{C}^N)^{\bigotimes n}$, compatible with the action of the group $G_N$. This subspace is determined as the image of a certain linear operator $F_\varOmega (M)$ on $(\mathbb{C}^N)^{\bigotimes n}$, given by an explicit formula. When $M=0$ and $W_{\lambda}(\mu)=W_\lambda$ is an irreducible representation of the group $G_N$, we recover the classical realization of $W_\lambda$ as a subspace in the space of all traceless tensors in $(\mathbb{C}^N)^{\bigotimes n}$. Then the operator $F_\varOmega\(0)$ may be regarded as the analogue for $G_N$ of the Young symmetrizer, corresponding to the standard tableau $\varOmega$ of shape $\lambda$. This symmetrizer is a certain linear operator on $\CNn$$(\mathbb{C}^N)^{\bigotimes n} $ with the image equivalent to the irreducible polynomial representation of the complex general linear group $GL_N$, corresponding to the partition $\lambda$. Even in the case $M=0$, our formula for the operator $F_\varOmega(M)$ is new. Our results are applications of the representation theory of the twisted Yangian, corresponding to the subgroup $G_N$ of $GL_N$. This twisted Yangian is a certain one-sided coideal subalgebra of the Yangian corresponding to $GL_N$. In particular, $F_\varOmega(M)$ is an intertwining operator between certain representations of the twisted Yangian in $(\mathbb{C}^N)^{\bigotimes n}$.     

Global results for an HIV/AIDS model with multiple susceptible classes and nonlinear incidence

In this paper, an HIV/AIDS epidemic model is proposed in which there are two susceptible classes. Two types of general nonlinear incidence functions are employed to depict the scenarios of infection among cautious and incautious individuals. Qualitative analyses are performed, in terms of the basic reproduction number $\R_0$, to gain the global dynamics of the model: the disease-free equilibrium is of global asymptotic stability when $\R_0\leq 1$; a unique endemic equilibrium exists and globally asymptotically stable $\R_0> 1$. The introduction of cautious susceptible and the resulting multiple transmission functions has positive effect on HIV/AIDS prevalence. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate and extend the obtained analytical results.

On Nonnegative Solution of Multi-Linear System with Strong $\mathcal{M}_z$-Tensors

A class of structured multi-linear system defined by strong $\mathcal{M}_z$-tensors is considered. We prove that the multi-linear system with strong $\mathcal{M}_z$-tensors always has a nonnegative solution under certain condition by the fixed point theory. We also prove that the zero solution is the only solution of the homogeneous multi-linear system for some structured tensors, such as strong $\mathcal{M}$-tensors, $\mathcal{H}^+$-tensors, strictly diagonally dominant tensors with positive diagonal elements. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.     

Existence and Global Asymptotic Behavior of Positive Solutions for Sublinear and Superlinear Fractional Boundary Value Problems

In this paper, the authors aim at proving two existence results of fractional differential boundary value problems of the form(P_(a,b)){D~αu(x) + f(x, u(x)) = 0, x ∈(0, 1),u(0) = u(1) = 0, D~(α-3)u(0) = a, u(1) =-b,where 3 α≤ 4, Dαis the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative and a, b are nonnegative constants. First the authors suppose that f(x, t) =-p(x)t~σ, with σ∈(-1, 1)and p being a nonnegative continuous function that may be singular at x = 0 or x = 1and satisfies some conditions related to the Karamata regular variation theory. Combining sharp estimates on some potential functions and the Sch¨auder fixed point theorem, the authors prove the existence of a unique positive continuous solution to problem(P_(0,0)).Global estimates on such a solution are also obtained. To state the second existence result, the authors assume that a, b are nonnegative constants such that a + b 0 and f(x, t) = tφ(x, t), with φ(x, t) being a nonnegative continuous function in(0, 1)×[0, ∞) that is required to satisfy some suitable integrability condition. Using estimates on the Green's function and a perturbation argument, the authors prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive continuous solution u to problem(P_(a,b)), which behaves like the unique solution of the homogeneous problem corresponding to(P_(a,b)). Some examples are given to illustrate the existence results.

关于数论函数$\sigma(n)$的一个注记

对于两个不相同的正整数$m$和$n$, 如果满足$\sigma(m)=\sigma(n)=m+n$, 则称之为一对亲和数, 这里$\sigma(n)=\sum_{d|n}d$.本文给出了$f(x,y)=x^{2^{x}}+y^{2^{x}}(x>y\geq{1},(x,y)=1)$不与任何正整数构成亲和数对的结论, 这里$x$,$y$具有不同的奇偶性, 即, 关于$z$的方程$\sigma(f(x,y))=\sigma(z)=f(x,y)+z$不存在正整数解.     

The Wave Equation Approach to Robbin Inverse Problems for a Doubly-Connected Region: An Extension to Higher Dimensions

The spectral function $\hatμ(t)=\sum\limits_{j=1}^\infty e^{-itλ^{\frac{1}{2}}_j}$ where $\{λ_j\}^\infty_{j=1}$ are the eigenvalues of the three-dimensional Laplacian is studied for a variety of domains, where $- \infty＜t＜\infty$ and $i=\sqrt{-1}$. The dependence of $\hat{\mu}(t)$ on the connectivity of a domain and the impedance boundary condition (Robbin conditions) are analyzed. Particular attention is given to the spherical shell together with Robbin boundary conditions on its surface.     

On Some Semigroups on the Complex Plane

It is shown that the sets $C(\alpha)=\left\{z\in\dC: |z\sin\alpha\pm i\cos \alpha|\le 1\right\}$, where $\alpha\in (0,\pi/2)$ form multiplicative semigroups on the complex plane $\dC$. We prove that the semigroups $C(\alpha)$ and $C(\beta)$ are not isomorphic when $\alpha\ne \beta$ and the unique automorphisms of the semigroup $C(\alpha)$ are the mappings $\Phi(z)=z$ and $\Phi(z)=\overline z$. All continuous semicharacters of the semigroups $C(\alpha)$ and all continuous automorphisms of the closed unit disk are described. Other examples of semigroups on the complex are obtained by transformations of $C(\alpha).$     

Solution of an Overdetermined System of Linear Equations in $L_2$, $L_∞$, $L_P$ Norm Using L.S. Techniques

A lot of curve fitting problems of experiment data lead to solution of an overdetermined system of linear equations. But it is not clear prior to that whether the data are exact or contaminated with errors of an unknown nature. Consequently we need to use not only $L_2$-solution of the system but also $L_{\infty}$- or $L_p$-solution. In this paper, we propose a universal algorithm called the Directional Perturbation Least Squares (DPLS) Algorithm, which can give optimal solutions of an overdetermined system of linear equations in $L_2$, $L_{\infty}$,$L_p (1\leq p＜2)$ norms using only L.S. techniques (in $\S$2). Theoretical principle of the algorithm is given in $\S$ 3. Two examples are given in the end.

Positivity of Fock Toeplitz Operators via the Berezin Transform

This paper deals with the relationship between the positivity of the Fock Toeplitz operators and their Berezin transforms. The author considers the special case of the bounded radial function φ(z) = a + be~(-α|z|~2)+ ce~(-β|z|~2), where a, b, c are real numbers and α, β are positive numbers. For this type of φ, one can choose these parameters such that the Berezin transform of φ is a nonnegative function on the complex plane, but the corresponding Toeplitz operator Tφ is not positive on the Fock space.

RECOVERY BASED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR BIHARMONIC EQUATION IN 2D

We design and numerically validate a recovery based linear finite element method for solving the biharmonic equation.The main idea is to replace the gradient operator▽on linear finite element space by G(▽)in the weak formulation of the biharmonic equation,where G is the recovery operator which recovers the piecewise constant function into the linear finite element space.By operator G,Laplace operator△is replaced by▽·G(▽).Furthermore,the boundary condition on normal derivative▽u-n is treated by the boundary penalty method.The explicit matrix expression of the proposed method is also introduced.Numerical examples on the uniform and adaptive meshes are presented to illustrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Some Low Distortion Metric Ramsey Problems

In this note we consider the metric Ramsey problem for the normed spaces $\ell_p$. Namely, given some $1\le p \le \infty$ and $\alpha \ge 1$, and an integer $n$, we ask for the largest $m$ such that every $n$-point metric space contains an $m$-point subspace which embeds into $\ell_p$ with distortion at most $ \alpha$. In [1] it is shown that in the case of $\ell_2$, the dependence of $m$ on $\alpha$ undergoes a phase transition at $\alpha =2$. Here we consider this problem for other $\ell_p$, and specifically the occurrence of a phase transition for $p\neq 2$. It is shown that a phase transition does occur at $\alpha=2$ for every $p\in [1,2]$. For $p > 2$ we are unable to determine the answer, but estimates are provided for the possible location of such a phase transition. We also study the analogous problem for isometric embedding and show that for every $1 < p < \infty$ there are arbitrarily large metric spaces, no four points of which embed isometrically in $\ell_p$.
