Some properties of the kernel and the cokernel of Toeplitz operators with matrix symbols

The relations between the kernels, as well as the cokernels, of Toeplitz operators are studied in connection with certain relations between their symbols. These results are used to obtain some Fredholm type properties for operators with 2×2 symbols, whose determinant admits a bounded Wiener-Hopf factorization.     

Method of successive approximations in the nonlinear theory of viscoelasticity

A method of successive approximations, a generalization of the Il'yushin method of elastic solutions, is proposed for solving problems of the nonlinear theory of elasticity in which the stress-strain relation is given in the form of a time operator Frechet-differentiable in a neighborhood of zero. The nonlinear relaxation kernels are found from the given nonlinear creep kernels for the principal quadratic theory of elasticity. These relations make it possible to formulate the boundary value problem for this theory. By way of illustration the problem of the pressure exerted on a space by a sphere is examined within the framework of the developed theory. The question of the convergence of the method is discussed in relation to the quadratic theory of visco-elasticity.Presented at the Third All-Union Conference on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Moscow (January, 1968).Moscow Lomonosov State University.

Nonlocal hydrodynamics in the quantum field modelϕ 4

The procedure of passing from quantum statistical mechanics to the hydrodynamics previously developed by the author is now applied to the quantum field model ⁴. For a certain class of external forces, the equations of many-body systems in quantum theory appear to be equivalent to the equations of nonlocal hydrodynamics. The hydrodynamic nonlocalities arising in constituent relations are expressed through the Green's functions for currents. Some properties of the nonlocal kernels, in particular, the conditions related to dissipation and T-invariance of the model ⁴ (an analogue of Onsager's relations), are deduced from the general symmetry properties. In hydrodynamics, nonlocality allows causality and dissipativity to be consistently combined. The connection between the classical transport coefficients and the hydrodynamic kernels is established. An algorithm for calculating constituent relations by perturbation theory, using the technique of temperature Green's functions, is described.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 108, No. 1, pp. 50–68, July, 1996.

Hierarchies of higher order kernels

Summary Recent literature on functional estimation has shown the importance of kernels with vanishing moments although no general framework was given to build kernels of increasing order apart from some specific methods based on moment relationships. The purpose of the present paper is to develop such a framework and to show how to build higher order kernels with nice properties and to solve optimization problems about kernels. The proofs given here, unlike standard variational arguments, explain why some hierarchies of kernels do have optimality properties. Applications are given to functional estimation in a general context. In the last section special attention is paid to density estimates based on kernels of order (m, r), i.e., kernels of orderr for estimation of derivatives of orderm. Convergence theorems are easily derived from interpretation by means of projections inL ² spaces.     

Linear connections for reproducing kernels on vector bundles

We construct a canonical correspondence from a wide class of reproducing kernels on infinite-dimensional Hermitian vector bundles to linear connections on these bundles. The linear connection in question is obtained through a pull-back operation involving the tautological universal bundle and the classifying morphism of the input kernel. The aforementioned correspondence turns out to be a canonical functor between categories of kernels and linear connections. A number of examples of linear connections including the ones associated to classical kernels, homogeneous reproducing kernels and kernels occurring in the dilation theory for completely positive maps are given, together with their covariant derivatives.     

Directed complete poset congruences

The study of algebraic properties of ordered structures has shown that their behavior in many cases is different from algebraic structures. For example, the analogues of the fundamental mapping theorem for sets which characterizes surjective maps as quotient sets modulo their kernel relations, is not true for order-preserving maps between posets (partially ordered sets). The main objective of this paper is to study the quotients of dcpos (directed complete partially ordered sets), and their relations with surjective dcpo maps (directed join preserving maps). The motivation of studying such infinitary ordered structures is their importance in domain theory, a theory on the borderline of mathematics and theoretical computer science.In this paper, introducing the notion of a pre-congruence on dcpos (directed complete partially ordered sets), we give a characterization of dcpo congruences. Also, it is proved that unlike natural dcpo congruences, the dcpo congruences are precisely kernels of surjective dcpo maps. Also, while it is known that the image of a dcpo map is not necessarily a subdcpo of its codomain, we find equivalent conditions on a dcpo map to satisfy this property. Moreover, we prove the Decomposition Theorem and its consequences for dcpo maps.     

Quasilinear theory of viscoelasticity

By postulating equal contributions the number of kernels in the principal cubic theory of viscoelasticity and in the theory with regular kernels of two arguments is reduced to three. For certain quasilinear relations all the kernels and functions are determined from creep, relaxation, and simple loading and deformation tests. In the case of simple loading and deformation the problems for a viscoelastic incompressible material reduce to problems of the theory of small elastoplastic deformations of an incompressible material. Several problems relating to this case are considered.Moscow M. V. Lomonosov State University. Translated from Mekhanika Polimerov, No. 4, pp. 603–611, July–August, 1969.     

Simple loading of a polymer material with nonlinear creep

Nonlinear tensor relations between strain, stress, and time are examined for a memory-type medium using degenerate kernels. The material parameters are determined from creep tests in a simple state of stress. Expressions for the strain associated with a complex state of stress and simple loading, found on the basis of the local strains theory, are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data obtained for specimens of high-density polyethylene.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 236–242, 1967     

Operators associated with soft and hard spectral edges from unitary ensembles

Using Hankel operators and shift-invariant subspaces on Hilbert space, this paper develops the theory of the integrable operators associated with soft and hard edges of eigenvalue distributions of random matrices. Such Tracy-Widom operators are realized as controllability operators for linear systems, and are reproducing kernels for weighted Hardy spaces, known as Sonine spaces. Periodic solutions of Hill's equation give a new family of Tracy-Widom type operators. This paper identifies a pair of unitary groups that satisfy the von Neumann-Weyl anti-commutation relations and leave invariant the subspaces of L² that are the ranges of projections given by the Tracy-Widom operators for the soft edge of the Gaussian unitary ensemble and hard edge of the Jacobi ensemble.     

Interior Capacities of Condensers in Locally Compact Spaces

The study deals with the theory of interior capacities of condensers in a locally compact space, a condenser being treated here as a finite collection of arbitrary sets with sign + 1 or − 1 prescribed such that the closures of oppositely signed sets are mutually disjoint. We are motivated by the known fact that, in the noncompact case, the main minimum-problem of the theory is in general unsolvable, and this occurs even under very natural assumptions (e.g., for the Newtonian, Green, or Riesz kernels in \mathbb Rⁿ\mathbb R^n and closed condensers). Therefore it was particularly interesting to find statements of variational problems dual to the main minimum-problem (and hence providing new equivalent definitions to the capacity), but now always solvable (e.g., even for nonclosed condensers). For all positive definite kernels satisfying Fuglede’s condition of consistency between the strong and vague (= weak*) topologies, problems with the desired properties are posed and solved. Their solutions provide a natural generalization of the well-known notion of interior equilibrium measures associated with a set. We describe those solutions and the corresponding equilibrium constants, analyze their uniqueness and continuity, and point out their characteristic properties. Such results are new even for classical kernels in \mathbb Rⁿ\mathbb R^n, which is important in applications.     

Semifields and their properties

An introduction to the theory of semifields is included in the first part of the article: basic concepts, initial properties, and several methods of investigating semifields are examined. Semifields with a generator, in particular bounded semifields, are considered. Elements of the theory of kernels of semifields are also included in the paper: the structure of principal kernels; the kernel generated by the element 2 = 1 +1; indecomposable and maximal spectra of semifields; properties of the lattice of kernels of a semifield. A fragment of arp-semiring theory, which is the basis of a new method in semifield theory, is also included in the first part. The second part of the work is devoted to sheaves of semifields and functional representations of semifields. Properties of semifields of sections of semifield sheaves over a zero-dimensional compact are described. Two structural sheaves of semifields, which are the analogs of Pierce and Lambek sheaves for rings, are constructed. These sheaves give isomorphic functional representations of arbitrary, strongly Gelfand, and biregular semifields. As a result, sheaf characterizations of strongly Gelfand, biregular, and Boolean semifields are obtained.     

Nonlinear potential theory for Sobolev spaces on Carnot groups

Considering Bessel kernels on a Carnot group, we establish the main facts of nonlinear potential theory: a Wolff-type inequality, capacity estimates, and a strong capacity inequality. Deriving corollaries, we give an inequality of Sobolev-Adams type and relations between the capacity and Hausdorff measure, as well as lower bounds on the Teichmüller capacity. These yield the continuity of monotone functions of a Sobolev class and some estimates applicable to studying the fine properties of functions.     

Constructive methods for certain Bergman operators

This paper is concerned with the class of linear partial differential equations of second order such that there exist Bergman operators with polynomial kernels (cf, [12]). In an earlier paper [ll] the authors have shown that these equations also admit differential operators as introduced by K. W. Bauer [I]. In the present paper, relations between different types of representations of solutions are investigated. These representations are of interest in developing a function theory of solutions; cf., for instance, K. W. Bauer [I] and S. Ruscheweyh [19]. They are also essential to global extensions of local results obtained by means of Bergman operators of the first kind. The inversion problem for those operators is solved, and it is shown that all solutions of equations of that class which are holomorphic in a domain of C² can be represented by operators with polynomial kernels. Furthermore, a construction principle for deriving the equations investigated by K. W. Bauer [2] is obtained; this yields corresponding representations of solutions by differential and integral operators in a systematic fashion     

The Reproducing Kernel Structure Arising from a Combination of Continuous and Discrete Orthogonal Polynomials into Fourier Systems

We study mapping properties of operators with kernels defined via a combination of continuous and discrete orthogonal polynomials, which provide an abstract formulation of quantum (q-) Fourier-type systems.We prove Ismail’s conjecture regarding the existence of a reproducing kernel structure behind these kernels, by establishing a link with Saitoh’s theory of linear transformations in Hilbert space. The results are illustrated with Fourier kernels with ultraspherical, their continuous q-extensions and generalizations. As a byproduct of this approach, a new class of sampling theorems is obtained, as well as Neumann-type expansions in Bessel and q-Bessel functions.     

Defining relations for a viscoelastic medium with microrotation

The results of [1, 2] are extended to the case of a Cosserat medium with a memory (the force stress tensor and the couple stress tensor depend on the history of deformations and rotations of a particle in the medium). In the linear approximation the defining relations have the form of convolutions with some relaxation kernels with respect to time. Restrictions for the kernels are obtained, which follow from the general principles of thermodynamics. The propagation of weak perturbations is studied. The general functional form of the ken nels corresponding to experimental data on the viscoelasticity of rock formations is given.

Numerical methods in the theory of viscoelasticity

Formulas are given for calculating the coefficients of differential operators of defining equations on the basis of given approximations of the relaxation kernels in the form of the sum of exponential curves. As the defining equations it is suggested to use quadrature formulas into which are substituted the relaxation kernels found experimentally without preliminary analytic approximation. A three-dimensional difference problem of the linear isotropic theory of viscoelasticity is formulated. The direct and inverse -transformation establishing the correspondence between the viscoelastic and elastic difference problems is introduced. The specific characteristics of the use of the net, Ritz, finite-element, and variation-difference methods in solving problems of viscoelasticity theory are examined. A method facilitating the arrangement of the information on relaxation kernels in a computer memory is indicated.M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Conditional possibilities independence and noninteraction

Relations from the theory of probability are compared with corresponding relations in the theory of possibility. Because of the special properties of the min operator, the values of the conditional possibilities are much more similar to those of the joint possibilities than is the case in connection with probabilities. When the joint possibilities are given, the solution for the conditional possibilities is not always unique. It is shown that we must distinguish between noninteraction and independence of fuzzy or possibilistic variables. For purposes of inference, relations representing conditional possibility distributions should be used.
