We prove that if the function determining a linear functional over the Hardy space is analytic on the disk of radius greater than 1 then the extremal function of this functional is analytic on the same disk.     

On the numerical index of real <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>(µ)-spaces

We give a lower bound for the numerical index of the real space L _p (µ) showing, in particular, that it is non-zero for p ≠ 2. In other words, it is shown that for every bounded linear operator T on the real space L _p (µ), one has

$\sup \left\{ {|\int {|x{|^{p - 1}}{\rm{sign}}(x)Tx d\mu |:x \in {L_p}\left( \mu \right), ||x|| = 1} } \right\} \ge {{{M_p}} \over {12{\rm{e}}}}||T||$

where \({M_p} = {\max _{t \in \left[ {0,1} \right]}}{{|{t^{p - 1}} - t|} \over {1 + {t^p}}} > 0\) for every p ≠ 2. It is also shown that for every bounded linear operator T on the real space L _p (µ), one has

$\sup \left\{ {\int {|x{|^{p - 1}}|Tx| d\mu :x \in {L_p}\left( \mu \right), ||x|| = 1} } \right\} \ge {1 \over {2{\rm{e}}}}||T||$

Weak-Polynomial Convergence on Spaces ℓ<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

This paper is concerned with the study of the set P ^-1(0), when P varies over all orthogonally additive polynomials on _p and L _p spaces. We apply our results to obtain characterizations of the weak-polynomial topologies associated to this class of polynomials.     

On the Crossing Number of <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Subscript> □ <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

Crossing numbers of graphs are in general very difficult to compute. There are several known exact results on the crossing number of the Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with small graphs. In this paper we study cr(K_m □ P_n), the crossing number of the Cartesian product K_m □ P_n. We prove that for m ≥ 3,n ≥ 1 and cr(K_m □ P_n)≥ (n − 1)cr(K_m+2 − e) + 2cr(K_m+1). For m≤ 5, according to Klešč, Jendrol and Ščerbová, the equality holds. In this paper, we also prove that the equality holds for m = 6, i.e., cr(K₆ □ P_n) = 15n + 3.

Using Tilli’s technique [Cal Var 25(3):395–401, 2006], we shall give a new proof of the regularity of the local minima of the functional

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Adic Brownian motion over ℚ<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper, we generalize the result of Bikulov and Volovich (1997) and construct a p-adic Brownian motion over ℚ _p . First, we construct directly a p-adic white noise over ℚ _p by using a specific complete orthonormal system of (ℚ _p ). A p-adic Brownian motion over ℚ _p is then constructed by the Paley-Wiener method. Finally, we introduce a p-adic random walk and prove a theorem on the approximation of a p-adic Brownian motion by a p-adic random walk.     

Borel equivalence relations between <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

On Analytic Campanato and <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>) Spaces

We investigate the relation between analytic Campanato spaces \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) and the spaces F(p, q, s), characterize the bounded and compact Riemann–Stieltjes operators from \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) to \(F(p,p-s-1,s)\). We also describe the corona theorem and the interpolating sequences for the class \(F(p,p-2,s)\), which is the Möbius invariant subspace of the analytic Besov type spaces \(B_p(s)\).     

On the heritability of the property <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis></Subscript> by subgroups

We consider the so-called Jordan-Pochhammer systems, a special class of linear Pfaffian systems of Fuchsian type on complex linear (or projective) spaces. These systems appeared as systems of differential equations for hypergeometric type integrals in which the integrand is a product of powers of linear functions. These systems also arise in some reductions of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. The main advantage of these systems is the possibility of presenting a basis in the solution space of such systems in an explicit integral form and, as a consequence, of describing their monodromy representation. The main focus in the paper is placed on the applications of Jordan-Pochhammer systems. We describe the relationship of Jordan-Pochhammer systems to isomonodromic deformations of Fuchsian systems that are described by the Schlesinger equations, as well as to the linearization of the dynamical system of bending spatial polygons. We also describe the application of Jordan-Pochhammer systems to constructing Kohno systems on the Manin-Schechtman configuration spaces.     

On Perturbations of ℓ<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-localized Frames

Rational approximations of functions of Markov-Stieltjes type in Hardy spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>, 0 < <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> ≤ ∞

Orders of the best approximations for functions of Markov-Stieltjes type in the space H ^p are considered in the case of intersection of the measure support and the boundary of a unit circle. The results of J.-E. Andersson for functions with a singularity at a single point of a unit circumference are extended to the case of two singularities on that circumference.

Equitable total coloring of <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> ⋁ <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

The minimum number of total independent partition sets of V ∪ E of graph G(V,E) is called the total chromatic number of G denoted by χ _t (G). If the difference of the numbers of any two total independent partition sets of V ∪ E is no more than one, then the minimum number of total independent partition sets of V ∪ E is called the equitable total chromatic number of G, denoted by χ _et (G). In this paper, we obtain the equitable total chromatic number of the join graph of fan and wheel with the same order.

We prove that the mixed problem for the Klein–Gordon–Fock equation u _tt (x, t) ? u _xx (x, t) + au(x, t) = 0, where a ≥ 0, in the rectangle Q _T = [0 ≤ x ≤ l] × [0 ≤ t ≤ T] with zero initial conditions and with the boundary conditions u(0, t) = μ(t) ∈ L _p [0, T ], u(l, t) = 0, has a unique generalized solution u(x, t) in the class L _p (Q _T ) for p ≥ 1. We construct the solution in explicit analytic form.

On the equation Δ<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>)<Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis> = 0

Sufficient conditions for the blow-up of nontrivial generalized solutions of the interior Dirichlet problem with homogeneous boundary condition for the homogeneous elliptic-type equation Δu + q(x)u = 0, where either q(x) ≠ const or q(x) = const= λ > 0, are obtained. A priori upper bounds (Theorem 4 and Remark 6) for the exact constants in the well-known Sobolev and Steklov inequalities are established.     

On the distribution of <Emphasis Type="Italic">αp</Emphasis> modulo one for primes <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> of a special form

A classical problem in analytic number theory is to study the distribution of αp modulo 1, where α is irrational and p runs over the set of primes. We consider the subsequence generated by the primes p such that p+2 is an almost-prime (the existence of infinitely many such p is another topical result in prime number theory) and prove that its distribution has a similar property.
