Strong approximation of Riesz means at critical index on Hp(T) (0<p≤1)

This paper is a continuation of [3]. Suppose f∈H^p(T), 0σ _r ^σ f,σ=1/p?1. When p=1, it is just the partial Fourier sums S_kf. In this paper we establish the sharp estimations on the degree of approximation: $$\left\{ { - \frac{1}{{logR}}\int\limits_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta f - f} \right\|_{H^p (T)}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqq C{\mathbf{ }}{}_p\omega \left( {f,{\mathbf{ }}( - \frac{1}{{logR}})^{1/p} } \right)_{H^p (T)} ,0< p< 1,$$ and \(\frac{1}{{\log L}}\sum\limits_{k - 1}^L {\frac{{\left\| {S_k f - f} \right\|_H 1_{(T)} }}{k} \leqq Cp\omega (f; - \frac{1}{{\log L}})_H 1_{(T)} } \) Where $$\omega (f,{\mathbf{ }}h)_{H^p (T)} \begin{array}{*{20}c} { = Sup} \\ {0 \leqq \left| u \right| \leqq h} \\ \end{array} \left\| {f( \cdot + u) - f( \cdot )} \right\|_{H^p (T).} $$ .

On Sikkema-Kantorovič polynomials of order K

Let a_n≥0 and F(u)∈C [0,1], Sikkema constructed polynomials: , ifα _n ≡0, then B_n (0, F, x) are Bernstein polynomials. Let , we constructe new polynomials in this paper: Q _n ^(k) (α _n ,f(t))=d ^k /dx ^k B _n+k (α _n ,F _k (u),x), which are called Sikkema-Kantorovic polynomials of order k. Ifα _n ≡0, k=1, then Q_n ⁽¹⁾ (0, f(t), x) are Kantorovič polynomials P_n(f). Ifα _n =0, k=2, then Q_n ⁽²⁾, (0, f(t), x) are Kantorovič polynomials of second order (see Nagel). The main result is: Theorem 2. Let 1≤p≤∞, in order that for every f∈L^P [0, 1], , it is sufficient and necessary that , § 1. Let f(t) de a continuous function on [a, b], i. e., f∈C [a, b], we define^{[1–2],[8–10]}: . As usual, for the space L^p [a,b](1≤p<∞), we have and L[a, b]=l¹[a, b].

Lyapunov exponent and rotation number for stochastic Dirac operators

In this paper, we consider the stochastic Dirac operatoron a polish space (Ω,β, P). The relation between the Lyapunov index, rotation number andthe spectrum of L_ω is discussed. The existence of the Lyapunov index and rotation number isshown. By using the W-T functions and W-function we prove the theorems for L_ω as in Kotani[1], [2] for Schrodinger operatorB, and in Johnson [5] for Dirac operators on compact space.     

An Inverse Spectral Problem for a Nonsymmetric Differential Operator: Uniqueness and Reconstruction Formula

We consider an eigenvalue problem for a system on [0, 1]: $$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}l} {\left[ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \\ \end{array} } \right)\frac{{\text{d}}} {{{\text{d}}x}} + \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {p_{11} (x)} & {p_{12} (x)} \\ {p_{21} (x)} & {p_{22} (x)} \\ \end{array} } \right)} \right]\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\varphi ^{(1)} (x)} \\ {\varphi ^{(2)} (x)} \\ \end{array} } \right) = \lambda \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\varphi ^{(1)} (x)} \\ {\varphi ^{(1)} (x)} \\ \end{array} } \right)} \\ {\varphi ^{(2)} (0)\cosh \mu - \varphi ^{(1)} (0)\sinh \mu = \varphi ^{(2)} (1)\cosh \nu + \varphi ^{(1)} (1)\sinh \nu = 0} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ with constants $$\mu ,\nu \in \mathbb{C}.$$ Under the assumption that p₂₁, p₂₂ are known, we prove a uniqueness theorem and provide a reconstruction formula for p₁₁ and p₁₂ from the spectral characteristics consisting of one spectrum and the associated norming constants.     

On the number of faces of centrally-symmetric simplicial polytopes

I. Bárány and L. Lovász [Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hung.40, 323–329 (1982)] showed that ad-dimensional centrally-symmetric simplicial polytopeP has at least 2 ^d facets, and conjectured a lower bound for the numberf _i ofi-dimensional faces ofP in terms ofd and the numberf ₀ =2n of vertices. Define integers A. Björner conjectured (unpublished) that (which generalizes the result of Bárány-Lovász sincef _d–1 = h _i ), and more strongly that , which is easily seen to imply the conjecture of Bárány-Lovász. In this paper the conjectures of Björner are proved.Partially supported by NSF grant MCS-8104855.

The emission spectrum of IBr excited in the presence of Argon

Wavelengths and wavenumbers of the band heads in the region 3915–3540 Å are recorded as obtained from the measurements of the plates taken on a first order 21-feet grating spectrograph. Earlier workers recently reported 40 bands of this system covering the region 3900–3800 Å. All the bands of this system obtained in the present experiments are analysed as involving the³ Π (1) state for lower state. The constants for the lower state are such that they represent well the ΔG (v+1/2) values obtained in the present experiments fromv=0 tov=26 as well as those obtained by Brown fromv=9 tov=43. The vibrational constants of the two states involved are:

$$\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\omega _e ^{\prime \prime } } \\ {137 \cdot 8 cm.^{ - 1} ,} \\ \end{array} \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\omega _e ^{\prime \prime } x_e ^{\prime \prime } } \\ {0 \cdot 571 cm.^{ - 1} } \\ \end{array} \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\omega _e ^{\prime \prime } y_e ^{\prime \prime } } \\ { - 0 \cdot 1156 cm.^{ - 1} } \\ \end{array} \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\omega _e z_e ^{\prime \prime } } \\ {3 \cdot 09 \times 10^{ - 3} cm.^{ - 1} } \\ \end{array} \hfill \\ \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\omega _e ^{\prime \prime } t_e ^{\prime \prime } } \\ { - 2 \cdot 5 \times 10^{ - 5} cm.^{ - 1} ,} \\ \end{array} \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\omega _e ^\prime } \\ {90 \cdot 1 cm.^{ - 1} ,} \\ \end{array} \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\omega _e ^\prime x_e ^\prime } \\ {0 \cdot 15 cm.^{ - 1} } \\ \end{array} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

On the normalizing multiplier of the generalized Jackson kernel

We consider the question of evaluating the normalizing multiplier $$\gamma _{n,k} = \frac{1}{\pi }\int_{ - \pi }^\pi {\left( {\frac{{sin\tfrac{{nt}}{2}}}{{sin\tfrac{t}{2}}}} \right)^{2k} dt} $$ for the generalized Jackson kernel J _n,k (t). We obtain the explicit formula $$\gamma _{n,k} = 2\sum\limits_{p = 0}^{\left[ {k - \tfrac{k}{n}} \right]} {( - 1)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {2k} \\ p \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {k(n + 1) - np - 1} \\ {k(n - 1) - np} \\ \end{array} } \right)} $$ and the representation $$\gamma _{n,k} = \sqrt {\frac{{24}}{\pi }} \cdot \frac{{(n - 1)^{2k - 1} }}{{\sqrt {2k - 1} }}\left[ {1\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{{2k - 1}} + \omega (n,k)} \right],$$ , where $$\left| {\omega (n,k)} \right| < \frac{4}{{(2k - 1)\sqrt {ln(2k - 1)} }} + \sqrt {12\pi } \cdot \frac{{k^{\tfrac{3}{2}} }}{{n - 1}}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{n - 1}}} \right)^{2k - 2} .$$ .     

The Laguerre inequalities with applications to a problem associated with the Riemann hypothesis

We investigate here a new numerical method, base on the Laguerre inequalities, for determining lower bounds for the de Bruijn-Newman constant ∧, which is related to the Riemann Hypothesis. (Specifically, the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis would imply that ∧≦0.) Unlike previous methods which involved either finding nonreal zeros of associated Jensen polynomials or finding nonreal zeros of a certain real entire function, this new method depends only on evaluating, in real arithmetic, the Laguerre difference $$L_1 (H_\lambda (x))\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\text{.}} \\ {\text{.}} \\ \end{array} = (H'_\lambda (x))^2 - H_\lambda (x) \cdot H''_{_\lambda } (x){\text{ (}}x,{\text{ }}\lambda \in \mathbb{R}{\text{)}}$$ where \((H_\lambda (z)\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\text{.}} \\ {\text{.}} \\ \end{array} = \int_0^\infty {e^{\lambda t^2 } \Phi (t)}\) cos(tz)dt is a real entire function. We apply this method to obtain the new lower bound for ∧, -0.0991 < ∧ which improves all previously published lower bounds for ∧.

On some new identities for the Fibonomial coefficients

Let F _n be the nth Fibonacci number. The Fibonomial coefficients \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F\) are defined for n ≥ k > 0 as follows $$\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = \frac{{F_n F_{n - 1} \cdots F_{n - k + 1} }} {{F_1 F_2 \cdots F_k }},$$ with \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ 0 \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = 1\) and \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = 0\) . In this paper, we shall provide several identities among Fibonomial coefficients. In particular, we prove that $$\sum\limits_{j = 0}^{4l + 1} {\operatorname{sgn} (2l - j)\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {4l + 1} \\ j \\ \end{array} } \right]_F F_{n - j} = \frac{{F_{2l - 1} }} {{F_{4l + 1} }}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {4l + 1} \\ {2l} \\ \end{array} } \right]_F F_{n - 4l - 1} ,}$$ holds for all non-negative integers n and l.     

The Threshold for the Erdos, Jacobson and Lehel Conjecture to Be True

Let σ（k, n） be the smallest even integer such that each n-term positive graphic sequence with term sum at least σ（k, n） can be realized by a graph containing a clique of k ＋ 1 vertices. Erdos et al. （Graph Theory, 1991, 439-449） conjectured that σ（k, n） = （k - 1）（2n- k） ＋ 2. Li et al. （Science in China, 1998, 510-520） proved that the conjecture is true for k 〉 5 and n ≥ （k2） ＋ 3, and raised the problem of determining the smallest integer N（k） such that the conjecture holds for n ≥ N（k）. They also determined the values of N（k） for 2 ≤ k ≤ 7, and proved that [5k-1/2] ≤ N（k） ≤ （k2） ＋ 3 for k ≥ 8. In this paper, we determine the exact values of σ（k, n） for n ≥ 2k＋3 and k ≥ 6. Therefore, the problem of determining σ（k, n） is completely solved. In addition, we prove as a corollary that N（k） -= [5k-1/2] for k ≥6.

Multiple periodic solutions of a superlinear forced wave equation

We study the existence of forced vibrations of nonlinear wave equation: (*) $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u_{tt} - u_{xx} + g(u) = f(x,t),} & {(x,t) \in (0,\pi ) \times R,} \\ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u(0,t) = u(\pi ,t) = 0,} \\ {u(x,t + 2\pi ) = u(x,t),} \\ \end{array} } & {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {t \in R,} \\ {(x,t) \in (0,\pi ) \times R,} \\ \end{array} } \\ \end{array}$$ whereg(ξ)∈C(R,R)is a function with superlinear growth and f(x, t) is a function which is 2π-periodic in t. Under the suitable growth condition on g(ξ), we prove the existence of infinitely many solution of (*) for any given f(x, t).
