Asymptotics for the standard and the Capelli identities

Let {c _n (St _k )} and {c _n (C _k )} be the sequences of codimensions of the T-ideals generated by the standard polynomial of degreek and by thek-th Capelli polynomial, respectively. We study the asymptotic behaviour of these two sequences over a fieldF of characteristic zero. For the standard polynomial, among other results, we show that the following asymptotic equalities hold:

Analytic Hausdorff gaps II: The density zero ideal

We prove two results about the quotient over the asymptotic density zero ideal. First, it is forcing equivalent to % MathType!End!2!1!, where % MathType!End!2!1! is the homogeneous probability measure algebra of characterc. Second, if it has analytic Hausdorff gaps, then they look considerably different from proviously known gaps of this form. Partially supported by NSERC.     

On the generalized Cauchy-Riemann systems

The factorization of the Laplacian by means of first order systems and of second order operators was considered by several authors (see, e.g [2],[3],[4]). In the paper the definition of Cauchy-Riemann system (CR-system) of ordern is given by their symbols. We prove that ifD ⁽ⁿ⁾ is the symbol andD ^{(s, n)} is the sign-matrix of CR-system, then

On extremal properties for the polar derivative of polynomials

If p(z) is a polynomial of degree n having all its zeros on |z| = k, k ≤ 1, then it is proved[5] that max |z|=1 |p′(z)| ≤ kn1n + kn m|z|=ax1 |p(z)|. In this paper, we generalize the above inequality by extending it to the polar derivative of a polynomial of the type p(z) = cnzn + ∑n j=μ cn jzn j, 1 ≤μ≤ n. We also obtain certain new inequalities concerning the maximum modulus of a polynomial with restricted zeros.     

Self-similar solutions for a convection-diffusion equation with absorption inR N

We prove the existence of a positive and smooth solution for the following semilinear elliptic problem: % MathType!End!2!1! for anya∈R ^N , 1<p<1+2/N andq=(p+1)/2. This solution decays exponentially as |x|→+∞. Moreover, if |a| is sufficiently small, this positive and rapidly decaying solution is unique. The existence of a positive, self-similar solution % MathType!End!2!1! follows for the following convection-diffusion equation with absorption: % MathType!End!2!1!. It is also a very singular solution. This solution decays as |x|→+∞ for anyt>0 fixed. Because of the nonvariational nature of the elliptic problem, a fixed point method is used for proving the existence result. The uniqueness is proved applying the Implicit Function Theorem.

Strong convergence in nonparametric estimation of regression functions

The nonparametric regression problem has the objective of estimating conditional expectation. Consider the model $$Y = R(X) + Z$$ , where the random variableZ has mean zero and is independent ofX. The regression functionR(x) is the conditional expectation ofY givenX = x. For an estimator of the form $$R_n (x) = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {Y_i K{{\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {K\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {K\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} }}} $$ , we obtain the rate of strong uniform convergence $$\mathop {\sup }\limits_{x\varepsilon C} \left| {R_n (x) - R(x)} \right|\mathop {w \cdot p \cdot 1}\limits_ = o({{n^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {(2 + d)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {(2 + d)}}} } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{n^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {(2 + d)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {(2 + d)}}} } {\beta _n \log n}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\beta _n \log n}}),\beta _n \to \infty $$ . HereX is ad-dimensional variable andC is a suitable subset ofR ^d .     

Maximal deviation theory of some estimators of prior distribution functions

Summary Let be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables withθ ₁∼G and the conditional distribution ofx ₁ givenθ ₁=θ given by . HereG is unknown andF _θ(·) is known. This paper provides estimators ofG based onx ₁, …,x _n such that the random variable sup has an asymptotic distribution asn→∞ under certain on conditionsG and for certain choices ofF _θ. A simulation model has been discussed involving the uniform distribution on (0, θ) forF _θ and an exponential distribution forG.

The 2-length of the hughes subgroup

For a finite groupG and some prime powerp ⁿ , the -subgroup is defined by . Meixner proved that ifG is a finite solvable group and for somen≧1, then the Fitting length of is bounded by 4n. In the following note it is shown that the 2-length of is at mostn. This result cannot be derived from Meixner’s paper, since his result implies only that the 2-length is bounded by 2n.

On the sum Σ k≡r(modm) ( k n ) and related congruencesand related congruences

In this paper we study [ _r ⁿ ] _m =Σ _k≡r(modm) ( _k ⁿ ) wherem>0,n≥0 andr are integers. We show that [ _r ⁿ ] _m (m>2) can be expressed in terms of some linearly recurrent sequences with orders not exceeding ϕ(m)/2. In particular, we determine [ _r ⁿ ] ₁₂ explicitly in terms of first order and second order recurrences. It follows that for any primep>3 we have and .

Almost every 2-SAT function is unate

Bollobás, Brightwell and Leader [2] showed that there are at most 2-SAT functions on n variables, and conjectured that in fact the number of 2-SAT functions on n variables is . We prove their conjecture. As a corollary of this, we also find the expected number of satisfying assignments of a random 2-SAT function on n variables. We also find the next largest class of 2-SAT functions and show that if k = k(n) is any function with k(n) < n ^1/4 for all sufficiently large n, then the class of 2-SAT functions on n variables which cannot be made unate by removing 25k variables is smaller than for all sufficiently large n.     

Reproducing Spaces and Localization Operators

This paper, by using of windowed Fourier transform (WFT), gives a family of embedding operators Tn:L^2(R)→L^2(C,e^-|z|^2/2dzd-↑z/4πi), s.t. TnL^2(R) lontain in L^2(C,e^-|z|^2/2dzd-↑z/4πi) are reproducing subspaces (n=0, Bargmann Space); and gives a reproducing kernel and an orthonormal basis (ONB) of TnL^2(R), Furthermore, it shows the orthogonal spaces decomposition of L^2(C,e^-|z|^2/2dzd-↑z/4πi). Finally, by using the preceding results, it shows the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a class of localization operators associated with WFT, which extends the result of Daubechies in [1] and [6].     

The two sides of a fourier-stieltjes transform and almost idempotent measures

For measuresμ on the circleT the quantities , need not be equal; it is shown, however, that they are continuous with respect to each other whenμ varies on bounded subsets ofM(T), the space of measures onT. It is also shown that measuresμ which areɛ-almost idempotent (i.e. ) are the sum of an idempotent measure and of a measureυ satisfying providedɛ is small enough (as a function of ‖μ‖).

Let u = (u _n ) be a sequence of real numbers whose generator sequence is Cesàro summable to a finite number. We prove that (u _n ) is slowly oscillating if the sequence of Cesàro means of (ω _n ^(m−1)(u)) is increasing and the following two conditions are hold:

Nonoscillation for a Second Order Linear Delay Differential Equation with Impulses

A group of necessary and sufficient conditions for the nonoscillation of a second order linear delayequation with impulses(r(t)u')'=-p(t)u(t-τ)are obtained in this paper,where p(t)=sum from ∞to n=1 a_n δ(t-t_n),δ(t) is a Dirac δ-unction,and for each n∈N,a_n>0,t_n→∞as n→∞.Furthermore,the boundedness of the solutions is also investigated if the equationis nonoscillatory.An example is given to illustrate the use of the main theorems.
