Transferring strong boundedness among Laguerre orthogonal systems

Given the family of Laguerre polynomials, it is known that several orthonormal systems of Laguerre functions can be considered. In this paper we prove that an exhaustive knowledge of the boundedness in weighted L ^p of the heat and Poisson semigroups, Riesz transforms and g-functions associated to a particular Laguerre orthonormal system of functions, implies a complete knowledge of the boundedness of the corresponding operators on the other Laguerre orthonormal system of functions. As a byproduct, new weighted L ^p boundedness are obtained. The method also allows us to get new weighted estimates for operators related with Laguerre polynomials.

On the stability of the quadratic functional equation on bounded domains

A result of Skof and Terracini will be generalized; More precisely, we will prove that if a functionf : [-t, t]ⁿ →E satisfies the inequality (1) for some δ > 0 and for allx, y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ withx + y, x - y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ, then there exists a quadratic functionq: ℝⁿ →E such that ∥f(x) -q(x)∥ < (2912n² + 1872n + 334)δ for anyx ∈ [-t, t] ⁿ .     

Solution of fifth-degree equations

In this paper we establish a relationship between two approaches to the solution of algebraic fifth-degree equations, namely, the Hermite-Kronecker method (based on the modular elliptic equation) and the Mellin method (based on hypergeometric series).     

On the dual Stiefel-Whitney classes of some Grassmann manifolds

We present some non-vanishing dual Stiefel-Whitney classes of the Grassmann manifolds O(n)/O(4) × O(n − 4) for n = 2 ^s + 2 and n = 2 ^s + 3 (s ≧ 3), providing a supplement to results of Hiller, Stong, and Oproiu. Some applications are also mentioned. Part of this research was carried out while the first author was a member of three research teams supported in part by the grant agencies VEGA and APVV, and the second author was a member of a research team supported in part by VEGA.

Theta series and trace operators for Г<Subscript>n</Subscript>[q]

We consider the action of suitable trace operators on non homogeneous theta series that are Siegel modular forms for the principal congruence subgroups of the symplectic group of odd levelq: Г _n [q]. This is used for investigating whether modular forms forГ _n [N], withN|q, which are linear combination of such theta series, can be expressed as combination of theta series that are modular forms with respect toГ _n [N].     

On the maximum number of points at least one unit away from each other in the unit <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-cube

We present a very short survey of known results and many new estimates and results on the maximum number of points that can be chosen in the n-dimensional unit cube so that every distance between them is at least 1. Research was supported by Slovak national grant VEGA 1/3839/06.     

On edge-antipodal <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-polytopes

A convex d-polytope in ℝ ^d is called edge-antipodal if any two vertices that determine an edge of the polytope lie on distinct parallel supporting hyperplanes of the polytope. We introduce a program for investigating such polytopes, and examine those that are simple.      

On the Classification of Cartan Actions

We study higher-rank Cartan actions on compact manifolds preserving an ergodic measure with full support. In particular, we classify actions by with k ≥ 3 whose one-parameter groups act transitively as well as nondegenerate totally nonsymplectic -actions for k ≥ 3.

Notes on orthogonal polynomials for exponential weights (Root-distances. Weighted Lebesgue function)

We prove some results on the root-distances and the weighted Lebesgue function corresponding to orthogonal polynomials for exponential weights, where the weights are not necessarily symmetric. Supported by the Hungarian National Science Foundation Grants (OTKA) T37299 and T047132.     

Collapsing monoids consisting of permutations and constants

In this paper we determine all collapsing transformation monoids that contain at least one unary constant operation and whose nonconstant operations are permutations. Furthermore, we find an infinite family of transformation monoids that consist of at least three unary constant operations and some permutations for which the corresponding monoidal intervals are 2-element chains. This research is supported by Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research grant nos. T 37877 and K 60148.     

The operad of finite labeled tournaments

We study the operad of finite labeled tournaments. We describe the structure of suboperads of this operad generated by simple tournaments. We prove that a suboperad generated by a tournament with two vertices (i.e., the operad of finite linearly ordered sets) is isomorphic to the operad of symmetric groups, and a suboperad generated by a simple tournament with more that two vertices is isomorphic to the quotient operad of the free operad with respect to a certain congruence. We obtain this congruence explicitly.     

Estimates of the norm of the Mercer kernel matrices with discrete orthogonal transforms

The paper is related to the lower and upper estimates of the norm for Mercer kernel matrices. We first give a presentation of the Lagrange interpolating operators from the view of reproducing kernel space. Then, we modify the Lagrange interpolating operators to make them bounded in the space of continuous function and be of the de la Vallée Poussin type. The order of approximation by the reproducing kernel spaces for the continuous functions is thus obtained, from which the lower and upper bounds of the Rayleigh entropy and the l ²-norm for some general Mercer kernel matrices are provided. As an example, we give the l ²-norm estimate for the Mercer kernel matrix presented by the Jacobi algebraic polynomials. The discussions indicate that the l ²-norm of the Mercer kernel matrices may be estimated with discrete orthogonal transforms. Supported by the national NSF (No: 10871226) of P.R. China.
