Asymptotic Density and the Asymptotics of Partition Functions

Let A be a set of positive integers with gcd (A) = 1, and let p _A (n) be the partition function of A. Let c ₀ = 2/3. If A has lower asymptotic density and upper asymptotic density , then lim inf log p _A (n)/c ₀ n and lim sup log p _A (n)/c ₀ n . In particular, if A has asymptotic density > 0, then log p _A (n) c₀n. Conversely, if > 0 and log p _A (n) c ₀ n, then the set A has asymptotic density .     

The existence of probability measures with specified projections

Let X and Y be locally compact-compact topological spaces, F X×Y is closed, and P(F) is the set of all Borel probability measures on F. For us to find, for the pair of probability measures (_x, _y P (X)×P(Y), a probability measure P(F) such that _X = _X ^–1 , _Y = _Y ^–1 it is necessary and sufficient that, for any pair of Borel sets A X, B Y for which (A× B) F=Ø, the condition _XA+ _YB 1 holds.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 573–576, October, 1973.

A Strong Maximum Principle for some quasilinear elliptic equations

In its simplest form the Strong Maximum Principle says that a nonnegative superharmonic continuous function in a domain ⁿ ,n 1, is in fact positive everywhere. Here we prove that the same conclusion is true for the weak solutions of – u + (u) = f with a nondecreasing function ,(0)=0, andf0 a.e. in if and only if the integral((s)s) ^–1/2 ds diverges ats=0+. We extend the result to more general equations, in particular to – _p u + (u) =f where _p (u) = div(|Du| ^p-2 Du), 1 <p < . Our main result characterizes the nonexistence of a dead core in some reaction-diffusion systems.This work was partly done while the author was visiting the University of Minnesota as a Fulbright Scholar.     

Characterization,structure and analysis on abelian ℒ∞ groups

An abelian topological group is an group if and only if it is a locally -compactk-space and every compact subset in it is contained in a compactly generated locally compact subgroup. Every abelian groupG is topologically isomorphic to G ₀ where ₀ andG ₀ is an abelian group where every compact subset is contained in a compact subgroup. Intrinsic definitions of measures, convolution of measures, measure algebra,L ₁-algebra, Fourier transforms of abelian groups are given and their properties are studied.

Runge property and multiplicity of solutions for elliptic equations in ℝN with a monotone nonlinearity

In this paper, we describe a method for extending (in some approximated sense) solutions of a nonlinear P.D.E. on a domain , to solutions in a domain containing . Such an extension property, the Runge property, is well known for a large class of linear problems including elliptic equations. We prove here the Runge property for semilinear problems of the kind -u+g(u)=f, with f L _loc ¹ (^N). (As a consequence, we get infinitely many solutions for these problems). The proof is based on a homotopy method, and requires a refinement of the linear results: We prove that the Runge extension v on of a solution u in for a linear elliptic equation Lu=f can be choosen in order to depend continuously on u and the coefficients of L.

A survey of pseudo (v,k, λ)-designs

This work is an attempt to give a complete survey of all known results about pseudo (v, k, )-designs. In doing this, the author hopes to bring more attention to his conjecture given in Section 6; an affirmative answer to this conjecture would settle completely the existence and construction problem for a pseudo (v, k, )-design in terms of the existence of an appropriate (v, k, )-design.

Intrinsic ultracontractivity of Dirichlet Laplacians in non-smooth domains

We give a general criterion for the intrinsic ultracontractivity of Dirichlet Laplacians – _D on domainsD ofR ^d d 3, based on the Lieb's formula. It applies to various classes of domains (e.g. John, Hölder andL ^p-averaging domains) and gives new conditions for intrinsic ultracontractivity in terms of the Minkowski dimension of the boundary D. In particular, isotropic self-similar fractals and domains satisfying a c-covering condition are considered.     

The tree number of a graph with a given girth

A family of subtrees of a graphG whose edge sets form a partition of the edge set ofG is called atree decomposition ofG. The minimum number of trees in a tree decomposition ofG is called thetree number ofG and is denoted by(G). It is known that ifG is connected then(G) |G|/2. In this paper we show that ifG is connected and has girthg 5 then(G) |G|/g + 1. Surprisingly, the case wheng = 4 seems to be more difficult. We conjecture that in this case(G) |G|/4 + 1 and show a wide class of graphs that satisfy it. Also, some special graphs like complete bipartite graphs andn-dimensional cubes, for which we determine their tree numbers, satisfy it. In the general case we prove the weaker inequality(G) (|G| – 1)/3 + 1.     

Nonnegative Hall Polynomials

The number of subgroups of type and cotype in a finite abelian p-group of type is a polynomialg with integral coefficients. We prove g has nonnegative coefficients for all partitions and if and only if no two parts of differ by more than one. Necessity follows from a few simple facts about Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions; sufficiency relies on properties of certain order-preserving surjections that associate to each subgroup a vector dominated componentwise by . The nonzero components of (H) are the parts of , the type of H; if no two parts of differ by more than one, the nonzero components of – (H) are the parts of , the cotype of H. In fact, we provide an order-theoretic characterization of those isomorphism types of finite abelian p-groups all of whose Hall polynomials have nonnegative coefficients.     

On measures integrating all functions of a given vector lattice

LetE be a vector lattice of real-valued functions defined on a setX, and (E):={{f1}:fE}. Among others, it is shown that, under some additional assumptions onE, every measure that integrates all functionsfE is (E)--smooth iffX is (E)-complete. An application of this general result to various topological situations yields some new measure-theoretic characterizations of realcompact, Borel-complete andN-compact spaces, respectively.     

Optimal boundary regularity for minimal surfaces with a free boundary

Let x(w), w=u+iv B, be a minimal surface in ³ which is bounded by a configuration , S consisting of an arc and of a surface S with boundary. Suppose also that x(w) is area minimizing with respect to , S. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on and S, we can prove that the first derivatives of x(u, v) are Hölder continuous with the exponent =1/2 up to the free part of B which is mapped by x(w) into S. An example shows that this regularity result is optimal.

Geometric properties of 2-dimensional Brownian paths

Summary Let A be the set of all points of the plane , visited by 2-dimensional Brownian motion before time 1. With probability 1, all points of A are twist points except a set of harmonic measure zero. Twist points may be continuously approached in \A only along a special spiral. Although negligible in the sense of harmonic measure, various classes of cone points are dense in A, with probability 1. Cone points may be approached in \A within suitable wedges.Research supported in part by NSF Grant DMS 8419377
