Subsets with Restricted Movement

Let G be a finite permutation group on a set with no fixed points in and let m and k be integers with 0 < m < k. For a finite subset of the movement of is defined as move() = max_gG| ^g \ |. Suppose further that G is not a 2-group and that p is the least odd prime dividing |G| and move() m for all k-element subsets of . Then either || k + m or k (7m – 5) / 2, || (9m – 3)/2. Moreover when || > k + m, then move() m for every subset of .

Some inequalities about the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes

Let R(r, m) be the rth order Reed-Muller code of length 2 ^m , and let (r, m) be its covering radius. We prove that if 2 k m - r - 1, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m + 2(k - 1). We also prove that if m - r 4, 2 k m - r - 1, and R(r, m) has a coset with minimal weight (r, m) which does not contain any vector of weight (r, m) + 2, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m) + 2k(. These inequalities improve repeated use of the known result (r + 1, m + 1) (r, m).This work was supported by a grant from the Research Council of Wright State University.     

Convexity of Nonlinear Image of a Small Ball with Applications to Optimization

Let f: XY be a nonlinear differentiable map, X,Y are Hilbert spaces, B(a,r) is a ball in X with a center a and radius r. Suppose f (x) is Lipschitz in B(a,r) with Lipschitz constant L and f (a) is a surjection: f (a)X=Y; this implies the existence of >0 such that f (a)^* yy, yY. Then, if r,/(2L), the image F=f(B(a,)) of the ball B(a,) is convex. This result has numerous applications in optimization and control. First, duality theory holds for nonconvex mathematical programming problems with extra constraint x–a. Special effective algorithms for such optimization problems can be constructed as well. Second, the reachability set for small power control is convex. This leads to various results in optimal control.     

Circularity of Finite Groups without Fixed Points

Let be a fixed point free group given by the presentation where and are relative prime numbers, t = /s and s = gcd( – 1,), and is the order of modulo . We prove that if (1) = 2, and (2) is embeddable into the multiplicative group of some skew field, then is circular. This means that there is some additive group N on which acts fixed point freely, and |((a)+b)((c)+d)| 2 whenever a,b,c,d N, a0c, are such that (a)+b(c)+d.     

A chord-stretching map of a convex loop is an isometry

Let ⁿ be n-dimensional Euclidean space, and let : [0, L] ⁿ and : [0, L] ⁿ be closed rectifiable arcs in ⁿ of the same total length L which are parametrized via their arc length. is said to be a chord-stretched version of if for each 0s tL, |(t)–(s)| |(t)–(s)|. is said to be convex if is simple and if ([0, L]) is the frontier of some plane convex set. Individual work by Professors G. Choquet and G. T. Sallee demonstrated that if were simple then there existed a convex chord-stretched version of . This result led Professor Yang Lu to conjecture that if were convex and were a chord-stretched version of then and would be congruent, i.e. any chord-stretching map of a convex arc is an isometry. Professor Yang Lu has proved this conjecture in the case where and are C ² curves. In this paper we prove the conjecture in general.     

Cross-monotone subsequences

Two finite real sequences (a ₁,...,a _k ) and (b ₁,...,b _k ) are cross-monotone if each is nondecreasing anda _i+1–a _i b _i+1–b _i for alli. A sequence (₁,..., _n ) of nondecreasing reals is in class CM(k) if it has disjointk-term subsequences that are cross-monotone. The paper shows thatf(k), the smallestn such that every nondecreasing (₁,..., _n ) is in CM(k), is bounded between aboutk ²/4 andk ₂/2. It also shows thatg(k), the smallestn for which all (₁,..., _n ) are in CM(k)and eithera _k b ₁ orb _k a ₁, equalsk(k–1)+2, and thath(k), the smallestn for which all (₁,..., _n ) are in CM(_k)and eithera ₁b ₁...a _k b _k orb ₁a ₁...b _k a _k , equals 2(k–1)²+2.The results forf andg rely on new theorems for regular patterns in (0, 1)-matrices that are of interest in their own right. An example is: Every upper-triangulark ²×k ² (0, 1)-matrix has eitherk 1's in consecutive columns, each below its predecessor, ork 0's in consecutive rows, each to the right of its predecessor, and the same conclusion is false whenk ² is replaced byk ²–1.     

Абсолютная сходимос ть рядов Фурье—Хаара от суперпозиций функци й

A necessary and sufficient condition is found for the function to ensure absolute convergence of the Haar—Fourier series of all functions(f) provided that the Haar—Fourier series off converges absolutely. Absolute convergence means absolute convergence of the series of coefficients, and the condition is that should be in Lip 1.

Factorization of a selfadjoint nonanalytic operator function II. Single spectral zone

We consider a selfadjoint and smooth enough operator-valued functionL() on the segment [a, b]. LetL(a)0,L(b)0, and there exist two positive numbers and such that the inequality |(L()f, f)|< ([a, b] f=1) implies the inequality (L'()f, f)>. Then the functionL() admits a factorizationL()=M()(I-Z) whereM() is a continuous and invertible on [a, b] operator-valued function, and operatorZ is similar to a selfadjoint one. This result was obtained in the first part of the present paper [10] under a stronge conditionL()0 ( [a,b]). For analytic functionL() the result of this paper was obtained in [13].

An infinite dimensional analogue of the Albeverio-Röckner's theorem on Fukushima's conjecture

LetX be the solution of the SDE:dX _t = (X _t)dB _t +b(X _t)dt, with andb C _b (R) such that >0 for some constant , andB a real Brownian motion. Let be the law ofX onE=C([0, 1],R) andk E* – {0}, whereE* is the topological dual space ofE. Consider the classical form: _k (u, v)=u / kv / kd, whereu andv are smooth functions onE. We prove that, if _k is closable for anyk in a dense subset ofE* and if the smooth functions are contained in the domain of the generator of the closure of _k , must be a constant function.     

A family of noetherian rings with their finite length modules under control

We investigate the category mod of finite length modules over the ring =A _k , where is a V-ring, i.e. a ring for which every simple module is injective, k a subfield of its centre and A an elementary k-algebra. Each simple module E _j gives rise to a quasiprogenerator P _j = A E _j . By a result of K. Fuller, P _j induces a category equivalence from which we deduce that mod _j mod EndP _j . As a consequence we can(1) construct for each elementary k-algebra A over a finite field k a nonartinian noetherian ring such that modA mod(2) find twisted versions of algebras of wild representation type such that itself is of finite or tame representation type (in mod)(3) describe for certain rings the minimal almost split morphisms in mod and observe that almost all of these maps are not almost split in Mod.     

Lattice Polytopes Associated to Certain Demazure Modules of sl n + 1

Let w be an element of the Weyl group of sl _{n + 1}. We prove that for a certain class of elements w (which includes the longest element w₀ of the Weyl group), there exist a lattice polytope R ^l(w) , for each fundamental weight _i of sl _{n + 1}, such that for any dominant weight = _{i = 1} ⁿ a _{i i} , the number of lattice points in the Minkowski sum _w = _{i = 1} ⁿ a _{i i} ^w is equal to the dimension of the Demazure module E _w (). We also define a linear map A ^w : R ^l(w) P _Z R where P denotes the weight lattice, such that char E _w () = e e^–A(x) where the sum runs through the lattice points x of ^w .     

Rates of convergence and optimal spectral bandwidth for long range dependence

Summary For a realization of lengthn from a covariance stationary discrete time process with spectral density which behaves like ^1–2H as 0+ for 1/2<H<1 (apart from a slowly varying factor which may be of unknown form), we consider a discrete average of the periodogram across the frequencies 2j/n,j=1,..., m, wherem andm/n0 asn. We study the rate of convergence of an analogue of the mean squared error of smooth spectral density estimates, and deduce an optimal choice ofm.

Some extensions of the Hewitt-Savage zero-one law

Summary Let denote the class of infinite product probability measures = ₁× ₂× defined on an infinite product of replications of a given measurable space (X, A), and let denote the subset of for which (A) =0 or 1 for each permutation invariant event A. Previous works by Hewitt and Savage, Horn and Schach, Blum and Pathak, and Sendler (referenced in the paper) discuss very restrictive sufficient conditions under which a given member , of belongs to . In the present paper, the class is shown to possess several closure properties. E.g., if and _{0 n} for some n 1, then ₀× ₁× ₂×.... While the current results do not permit a complete characterization of they demonstrate conclusively that is a much larger subset of than previous results indicated. The interesting special case X={0,1} is discussed in detail.Research supported by the National Science Foundation under grant No. MCS75-07556     

Cross-cuts in the power set of an infinite set

In the power setP(E) of a setE, the sets of a fixed finite cardinalityk form across-cut, that is, a maximal unordered setC such that ifX, Y E satisfyXY, X someX inC, andY someY inC, thenXZY for someZ inC. ForE=, ₁, and ₂, it is shown with the aid of the continuum hypothesis thatP(E) has cross-cuts consisting of infinite sets with infinite complements, and somewhat stronger results are proved for and ₁.The work reported here has been partially supported by NSERC Grant No. A8054.
