Cycles and measure of bifurcation sets for two-dimensional diffeomorphisms

Summary We describe a large class of one-parameter families , {}, , of two-dimensional diffeomorphisms which arestable for <0, exhibit acycle for =0, and thereafter have a bifurcation set of positive but arbitrarily smallrelative measure for in small intervals [0, ]. A main assumption is that the basic sets involved in the cycle havelimit capacities that are not too large.The second author acknowledges hospitality and financial support from IMPA/CNPq during the period this paper was prepared     

On discrete and continuous norms in Paley-Wiener spaces and consequences for exponential frames

It is well known that for certain sequences {t_n}_n the usual L^p norm ·_p in the Paley-Wiener space PW ^p is equivalent to the discrete norm f_p,{tn}:=( _n=– |f(t_n)|^p)^1/p for 1 p = < and f_,{tn}:=sup _n|f(t_n| for p=). We estimate f_p from above by Cf_p, _n and give an explicit value for C depending only on p, , and characteristic parameters of the sequence {t_n}_n. This includes an explicit lower frame bound in a famous theorem of Duffin and Schaeffer.

On the asymptotic and invariantσ-algebras of random walks on locally compact groups

Summary Consider a random walk of law on a locally compact second countable groupG. Let the starting measure be equivalent to the Haar measure and denote byQ the corresponding Markov measure on the space of pathsG . We study the relation between the spacesL (G , ^a ,Q) andL (G , ⁱ ,Q) where ^a and ⁱ stand for the asymptotic and invariant -algebras, respectively. We obtain a factorizationL (G , ^a ,Q) L (G , ⁱ ,Q)L (C) whereC is a cyclic group whose order (finite or infinite) coincides with the period of the Markov shift and is determined by the asymptotic behaviour of the convolution powers ⁿ.     

Angular limits of holomorphic functions which satisfy an integrability condition

Let (–1,1), let 2/(1–)p<, letp denote the Hölder conjugate ofp, and let be an open arc of the unit circle. It is shown that, iff is a holomorphic function on the unit disc such that: (i) (1–|z|)log⁺|f(z)| isL ^p -integrable on the sector {r:0f has an infinite asymptotic value has -finite (2–(1+)p)-dimensional Hausdorff, measure, thenf has finite angular limits on a subset of of positive linear measure. In fact, a stronger conclusion will be established.     

A graded scale of parametric families of distributions,and parameter estimates based on the sample mean

Summary Denote by _k a class of familiesP={P} of distributions on the line R¹ depending on a general scalar parameter , being an interval of R¹, and such that the moments µ₁()=xdP ,...,µ_2k ()=x ^2k dP are finite, ₁ (), ..., _k (), _k+1 () ..., _k () exist and are continuous, with ₁ () 0, and _j +1 ()= ₁ () _j () +[₂() -₁()²] _j ()/ ₁ (), J=2, ..., k. Let ₁=¯x=x ₁ + ... +x _n/n, ₂=x ₁ ² + ... +x _n ²/n, ..., _k =(x ₁ ^k + ... +x _n ^k/n denote the sample moments constructed for a sample x₁, ..., x_n from a population with distribution Pg. We prove that the estimator of the parameter by the method of moments determined from the equation ₁= ₁() and depending on the observations x₁, ..., x_n only via the sample mean ¯x is asymptotically admissible (and optimal) in the class _k of the estimators determined by the estimator equations of the form ₀ () + ₁ () ₁ + ... + _k () _k =0 if and only ifP _k .The asymptotic admissibility (respectively, optimality) means that the variance of the limit, as n (normal) distribution of an estimator normalized in a standard way is less than the same characteristic for any estimator in the class under consideration for at least one 9 (respectively, for every ).The scales arise of classes _{1 2}... of parametric families and of classes _{1 2} ... of estimators related so that the asymptotic admissibility of an estimator by the method of moments in the class _k is equivalent to the membership of the familyP in the class _k .The intersection consists only of the families of distributions with densities of the form h(x) exp {C₀() + C₁() x } when for the latter the problem of moments is definite, that is, there is no other family with the same moments ₁ (), ₂ (), ...Such scales in the problem of estimating the location parameter were predicted by Linnik about 20 years ago and were constructed by the author in [1] (see also [2, 3]) in exact, not asymptotic, formulation.Translated from Problemy Ustoichivosti Stokhasticheskikh Modelei, pp. 41–47, 1981.

On condition numbers and the distance to the nearest ill-posed problem

Summary The condition number of a problem measures the sensitivity of the answer to small changes in the input. We call the problem ill-posed if its condition number is infinite. It turns out that for many problems of numerical analysis, there is a simple relationship between the condition number of a problem and the shortest distance from that problem to an ill-posed one: the shortest distance is proportional to the reciprocal of the condition number (or bounded by the reciprocal of the condition number). This is true for matrix inversion, computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, finding zeros of polynomials, and pole assignment in linear control systems. In this paper we explain this phenomenon by showing that in all these cases, the condition number satisfies one or both of the diffrential inequalitiesm·²DM·², where D is the norm of the gradient of . The lower bound on D leads to an upper bound 1/m(x) on the distance. fromx to the nearest ill-posed problem, and the upper bound on D leads to a lower bound 1/(M(X)) on the distance. The attraction of this approach is that it uses local information (the gradient of a condition number) to answer a global question: how far away is the nearest ill-posed problem? The above differential inequalities also have a simple interpretation: they imply that computing the condition number of a problem is approximately as hard as computing the solution of the problem itself. In addition to deriving many of the best known bounds for matrix inversion, eigendecompositions and polynomial zero finding, we derive new bounds on the distance to the nearest polynomial with multiple zeros and a new perturbation result on pole assignment.

The convergence rates of empirical Bayes estimation in a multiple linear regression model

Empirical Bayes (EB) estimation of the parameter vector =(,²) in a multiple linear regression modelY=X+ is considered, where is the vector of regression coefficient, N(0,² I) and ² is unknown. In this paper, we have constructed the EB estimators of by using the kernel estimation of multivariate density function and its partial derivatives. Under suitable conditions it is shown that the convergence rates of the EB estimators areO(n ^{-(k-1)(k-2)/k(2k+p+1)}), where the natural numberk3, 1/3<<1, andp is the dimension of vector .The project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Minimality of root vectors of operator functions analytic in an angle

We study the minimality of elementsx _h,j,k of canonical systems of root vectors. These systems correspond to the characteristic numbers _k of operator functionsL() analytic in an angle; we assume that operators act in a Hilbert space . In particular, we consider the case whereL()=I+T()c, >0,I is an identity operator,C is a completely continuous operator, (I- C)^–1c for ¦arg¦, 0<<, the operator functionT() is analytic, and T()c for ¦arg¦<. It is proved that, in this case, there exists >0 such that the system of vectorsC ^v x _h,j,k is minimal in for arbitrary positive <1+, provided that ¦_k¦>.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 545–566, May, 1994.This research was partially supported by the Ukrainian State Committee of Science and Technology.     

Parabelscharen und grenzkreise in der isotropen ebene

It is known by H. Sachs [5] that the classical curve theorem of ABRAMESCU also holds in isotropic geometry. Generalising an idea due to O. Röschel [2] we regard all inscribed parabolas (s, t) of a triangle (t). This triangle is formed by the tangents of three neighbouring points of a C -curve k(t) in an isotropic plane. Let U((t)) be the circumcircle of (t) and I((t)) the incircle of the triangle (t) whose midpoints of the sides are the vertices of (t). The circle U((t)) is the locus of the isotropic focal points of (s, t) and the incircle I((T)) the envelope of the isotropic axes of (s, t). We prove that the ABRAMESU-circle — lim U((t)) — is identical with the locus of the focal points of lim (s, t) and the circle lim I((t)) with the envelope of the axes of lim (s, t). The characteristic points, different from k(t), of the circles lim U((t)) and lim I((t)) determine the direction of the affine-normal of k(t).Herrn Professor Helmut Mäurer zum 60.
