Explicit relation between the solutions of the heat and the Hermite heat equation

There are lots of results on the solutions of the heat equation \frac?u?t = \mathop?ⁿ_i=1\frac?²?x²_iu,\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = {\mathop\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^{2}_{i}}u, but much less on those of the Hermite heat equation \frac?U?t = \mathop?ⁿ_i=1(\frac?²?x²_i - x²_i) U\frac{\partial U}{\partial t} = {\mathop\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}}\left(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^{2}_{i}} - x^{2}_{i}\right) U due to that its coefficients are not constant and even not bounded. In this paper, we find an explicit relation between the solutions of these two equations, thus all known results on the heat equation can be transferred to results on the Hermite heat equation, which should be a completely new idea to study the Hermite equation. Some examples are given to show that known results on the Hermite equation are obtained easily by this method, even improved. There is also a new uniqueness theorem with a very general condition for the Hermite equation, which answers a question in a paper in Proc. Japan Acad. (2005).     

A Remark on the Growth of the Denominators of Convergents

For log\frac1+?52 ￡ l_* ￡ l^* < ￥{\rm log}\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\leq \lambda_\ast \leq \lambda^\ast < \infty , let E(λ_*, λ^*) be the set {x ? [0,1): liminf_{n ? ￥}\fraclogq_n(x)n=l_*, limsup_{n ? ￥}\fraclogq_n(x)n=l^*}. \left\{x\in [0,1):\ \mathop{\lim\inf}_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\log q_n(x)}{n}=\lambda_{\ast}, \mathop{\lim\sup}_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\log q_n(x)}{n}=\lambda^{\ast}\right\}. It has been proved in [1] and [3] that E(λ_*, λ^*) is an uncountable set. In the present paper, we strengthen this result by showing that dimE(l_*, l^*) 3 \fracl_* -log\frac1+?522l^*\dim E(\lambda_{\ast}, \lambda^{\ast}) \ge \frac{\lambda_{\ast} -\log \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}}{2\lambda^{\ast}}

On expansions of numbers in alternating <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>-adic series and Ostrogradskii series of the first and second kind

We present expansions of real numbers in alternating s-adic series (1 < s ∈ N), in particular, s-adic Ostrogradskii series of the first and second kind. We study the “geometry” of this representation of numbers and solve metric and probability problems, including the problem of structure and metric-topological and fractal properties of the distribution of the random variable

Speed of Arnold diffusion for analytic Hamiltonian systems

For a convex, real analytic, ε-close to integrable Hamiltonian system with n≥5 degrees of freedom, we construct an orbit exhibiting Arnold diffusion with the diffusion time bounded by exp(Ce^{-\frac12(n-2)})\exp(C\epsilon^{-\frac{1}{2(n-2)}}). This upper bound of the diffusion time almost matches the lower bound of order exp(e^{-\frac12(n-1)})\exp(\epsilon ^{-\frac{1}{2(n-1)}}) predicted by the Nekhoroshev-type stability results. Our method is based on the variational approach of Bessi and Mather, and includes a new construction on the space of frequencies.     

Spectral decomposition and Gelfand’s theorem

We consider the spectral decomposition of A, the generator of a polynomially bounded n-times integrated group whose spectrum set $\sigma(A)=\{i\lambda_{k};k\in\mathbb{\mathbb{Z}}^{*}\}We consider the spectral decomposition of A, the generator of a polynomially bounded n-times integrated group whose spectrum set s(A)={il_k;k ? \mathbb\mathbbZ^*}\sigma(A)=\{i\lambda_{k};k\in\mathbb{\mathbb{Z}}^{*}\} is discrete and satisfies ?\frac1|l_k|^ld_kⁿ < ￥\sum \frac{1}{|\lambda_{k}|^{\ell}\delta_{k}^{n}}<\infty , where ℓ is a nonnegative integer and d_k=min(\frac|l_k+1-l_k|2,\frac|l_k-1-l_k|2)\delta _{k}=\min(\frac{|\lambda_{k+1}-\lambda _{k}|}{2},\frac{|\lambda _{k-1}-\lambda _{k}|}{2}) . In this case, Theorem 3, we show by using Gelfand’s Theorem that there exists a family of projectors (P_k)_{k ? \mathbb\mathbbZ^*}(P_{k})_{k\in\mathbb{\mathbb{Z}}^{*}} such that, for any x∈D(A ^n+ℓ ), the decomposition ∑P _k x=x holds.     

On the Crank-Nicolson scheme once again

Let (t_j)_{j ? \mathbbN}{\left(\tau_j\right)_{j\in\mathbb{N}}} be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers, and let A be the generator of a bounded analytic semigroup in a Banach space X. Put A_n=?_j=1ⁿ(I+\frac12 t_jA) (I-\frac12 t_jA)^-1{A_n=\prod_{j=1}^n\left(I+\frac{1}{2} \tau_jA\right) \left(I-\frac{1}{2} \tau_jA\right)^{-1}}, and let x ? X{x\in X}. Define the sequence (x_n)_{n ? \mathbbN} ì X{\left(x_n\right)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\subset X} by the Crank–Nicolson scheme: x _n  = A _n x. In this paper, it is proved that the Crank–Nicolson scheme is stable in the sense that sup_{n ? \mathbbN}||A_nx|| < ￥{\sup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\left\Vert A_nx\right\Vert<\infty}. Some convergence results are also given.     

Large time asymptotics of the doubly nonlinear equation in the non-displacement convexity regime

We study the long-time asymptotics of the doubly nonlinear diffusion equation ${\rho_t={\rm div}(|\nabla\rho^m |^{p-2} \nabla\left(\rho^m\right))}We study the long-time asymptotics of the doubly nonlinear diffusion equation r_t=div(|?r^m |^p-2 ?(r^m)){\rho_t={\rm div}(|\nabla\rho^m |^{p-2} \nabla\left(\rho^m\right))} in \mathbbRⁿ{\mathbb{R}^n}, in the range \fracn-pn(p-1) < m < \fracn-p+1n(p-1){\frac{n-p}{n(p-1)} < m < \frac{n-p+1}{n(p-1)}} and 1 < p < ∞ where the mass of the solution is conserved, but the associated energy functional is not displacement convex. Using a linearisation of the equation, we prove an L ¹-algebraic decay of the non-negative solution to a Barenblatt-type solution, and we estimate its rate of convergence. We then derive the nonlinear stability of the solution by means of some comparison method between the nonlinear equation and its linearisation. Our results cover the exponent interval \frac2nn+1 < p < \frac2n+1n+1{\frac{2n}{n+1} < p < \frac{2n+1}{n+1}} where a rate of convergence towards self-similarity was still unknown for the p-Laplacian equation.

A new interpretation of the Shimura curve with discriminant 6 in terms of Picard modular forms

In this paper we give a realization of the Shimura curve for the quaternion algebra over Q with discriminant 6 as a quotient space of the complex upper half plane by the triangle group Δ(3, 6, 6). It is given by the Schwarz map for the Gauss hypergeometric differential equation E(\frac16,\frac13,\frac23){E\left(\frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{3},\frac{2}{3}\right)}. The corresponding abelian surfaces are obtained as isogenous components of the Jacobi varieties of the Picard curves C(s): w³=z(z-1) (z-\frac12 (1-s))(z-\frac12 (1+s)){C(s): w^3=z(z-1)\break \left(z-\frac{1}{2} (1-s)\right)\left(z-\frac{1}{2} (1+s)\right)}.

Uniform estimates for order statistics and Orlicz functions

We establish uniform estimates for order statistics: Given a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables ξ ₁, … , ξ _n and a vector of scalars x = (x ₁, … , x _n ), and 1 ≤ k ≤ n, we provide estimates for \mathbb E   k-min_{1 ￡ i ￡ n} |x_ix_i|{\mathbb E \, \, k-{\rm min}_{1\leq i\leq n} |x_{i}\xi _{i}|} and \mathbb E k-max_{1 ￡ i ￡ n}|x_ix_i|{\mathbb E\,k-{\rm max}_{1\leq i\leq n}|x_{i}\xi_{i}|} in terms of the values k and the Orlicz norm ||y_x||_M{\|y_x\|_M} of the vector y _x  = (1/x ₁, … , 1/x _n ). Here M(t) is the appropriate Orlicz function associated with the distribution function of the random variable |ξ ₁|, G(t) = \mathbb P ({ |x₁| ￡ t}){G(t) =\mathbb P \left(\left\{ |\xi_1| \leq t\right\}\right)}. For example, if ξ ₁ is the standard N(0, 1) Gaussian random variable, then G(t) = ?{\tfrac2p}ò₀^t e^-\fracs22ds {G(t)= \sqrt{\tfrac{2}{\pi}}\int_{0}^t e^{-\frac{s^{2}}{2}}ds }  and M(s)=?{\tfrac2p}ò₀^se^-\frac12t2dt{M(s)=\sqrt{\tfrac{2}{\pi}}\int_{0}^{s}e^{-\frac{1}{2t^{2}}}dt}. We would like to emphasize that our estimates do not depend on the length n of the sequence.

A minimal immersion of the hyperbolic plane into the neutral pseudo-hyperbolic 4-space and its characterization      Bang-Yen Chen 《Archiv der Mathematik》2010,94(3):291-299 It is well known that there are no minimal surfaces of constant curvature lying fully in the hyperbolic 4-space H 4(−1).

We give a detailed account of the evolution of a convex hypersurface under this flow.

A minimal immersion of the hyperbolic plane into the neutral pseudo-hyperbolic 4-space and its characterization

It is well known that there are no minimal surfaces of constant curvature lying fully in the hyperbolic 4-space H ⁴(−1). In contrast, in this article we discover a minimal immersion of the hyperbolic plane H²(-\frac13){H^2(-\frac{1}{3})} of curvature -\frac13{-\frac{1}{3}} into the neutral pseudo-hyperbolic 4-space H⁴₂(-1){H^4_2(-1)}.
