Decay estimates for nonlinear nonlocal diffusion problems in the whole space

In this paper, we obtain bounds for the decay rate in the L ^r (? ^d )-norm for the solutions of a nonlocal and nonlinear evolution equation, namely, $$u_t \left( {x,t} \right) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right)dy, x \in \mathbb{R}^d , t > 0.}$$ . We consider a kernel of the form K(x, y) = ψ(y?a(x)) + ψ(x?a(y)), where ψ is a bounded, nonnegative function supported in the unit ball and a is a linear function a(x) = Ax. To obtain the decay rates, we derive lower and upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of a nonlocal diffusion operator of the form $$T\left( u \right) = - \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right)dy, 1 \leqslant p < \infty .}$$ . The upper and lower bounds that we obtain are sharp and provide an explicit expression for the first eigenvalue in the whole space ? ^d : $$\lambda _{1,p} \left( {\mathbb{R}^d } \right) = 2\left( {\int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {\psi \left( z \right)dz} } \right)\left| {\frac{1} {{\left| {\det A} \right|^{1/p} }} - 1} \right|^p .$$ Moreover, we deal with the p = ∞ eigenvalue problem, studying the limit of λ _1,p ^1/p as p→∞.     

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 .

On the uniform complete convergence of density function estimates

Letf be a uniformly continuous density function. LetW be a non-negative weight function which is continuous on its compact support [a, b] and ∫ _a ^b W(x)dx=1. The complete convergence of $$\mathop {\sup }\limits_{ - \infty< s< \infty } \left| {\frac{1}{{nb\left( n \right)}}\sum\limits_{k - 1}^n {W\left( {\frac{{s - X_k }}{{b\left( n \right)}}} \right)} - f\left( s \right)} \right|$$ to zero is obtained under varying conditions on the bandwidthsb(n), support or moments off, and smoothness ofW. For example, one choice of the weight function for these results is Epanechnikov's optimal function andnb ²(n)>n ^δ for some δ>0. The uniform complete convergence of the mode estimate is also considered.

A Mean-Value Theorem for Multiplicative Functions on the Set of Shifted Primes

Let f be a complex-valued multiplicative function, letp denote a prime and let π(x) be the number of primes not exceeding x. Further put $$m_p (f): = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{1}{{\pi (x)}}\sum\limits_{p \leqslant x} {f(p + 1)} {\text{, }}M(f): = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{1}{x}\sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {f(n)}$$ and suppose that $$\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{1}{x}\sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {\left| {f\left( n \right)} \right|^2 } < \infty ,\sum\limits_{p \leqslant x} {\left| {f\left( n \right)} \right|^2 } \ll x\left( {\ln x} \right)^{ - \varrho } ,$$ with some \varrho > 0. For such functions we prove: If there is a Dirichlet character χ_d such that the mean-value M(f χ_d) exists and is different from zero,then the mean-value m_p(f) exists. If the mean-value M(f) exists, then the same is true for the mean-valuem_p(f) .

Approximation by Nörlund means of double fourier series to continuous functions in two variables

We study the rate of uniform approximation by Nörlund means of the rectangular partial sums of double Fourier series of continuous functionsf(x, y), 2π-periodic in each variable. The results are given in terms of the modulus of symmetric smoothness defined by $$\begin{gathered} \omega _2 \left( {f,\delta _1 ,\delta _2 } \right) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{x,y} \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\left| u \right| \leqslant \delta _1 ,\left| v \right| \leqslant \delta _2 } \left| {f\left( {x + u,y + v} \right)} \right. + f\left( {x + u,y - v} \right) + f\left( {x - u,y + v} \right) \hfill \\ + \left. {f\left( {x - u,y - v} \right) + 4f\left( {x,y} \right)} \right| for \delta _1 ,\delta _2 \geqslant 0. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ As a special case we obtain the rate of uniform approximation to functionsf(x,y) in Lip({α, β}), the Lipschitz class, and inZ({α, β}), the Zygmund class of ordersα andβ, 0<α,β ≤ l, as well as the rate of uniform approximation to the conjugate functions \(\tilde f^{(1,0)} (x,y), \tilde f^{(0,1)} (x,y)\) and \(\tilde f^{(1,1)} (x,y)\) .

Approximation of continuous functions by trigonometric polynomials almost everywhere

We consider the problem of the rate of approximation of continuous 2π-periodic functions of class W^rH[ω]C by trigonometric polynomials of order n on sets of total measure. We prove that when r≥0,ω(δ)δ ^?1 → ∞ (δ → 0) there exists a function f ε W^rH[ω]C such thatf ε W^rH[ω]C and for any sequence {t_{n n=1} ^∞ we have almost everywhere on [0, 2π] $\begin{array}{l} \overline {\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } } \left| {f(x) - t_n (x)} \right|n^r \omega ^{ - 1} (1/n) > C_x > 0, \\ \overline {\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } } \left| {\tilde f(x) - t_n (x)} \right|n^r \omega ^{ - 1} (1/n) > C_x > 0. \\ \end{array}$      

The Concentration Function of Additive Functions with Special Weight

Suppose that $${g\left( n \right)}$$ is an additive real-valued function, W(N) = 4+ $$\mathop {\min }\limits_\lambda $$ ( λ₂ + $$\sum\limits_{p < N} {\frac{1}{2}} $$ min (1, ( g(p) - λlog p)²), E(N) = 4+1 $$\sum\limits_{\mathop {p < N,}\limits_{g(p) \ne 0} } {\frac{1}{p}.} $$ In this paper, we prove the existence of constants C₁, C₂ such that the following inequalities hold: $\mathop {\sup }\limits_a \geqslant \left| {\left\{ {n, m, k: m, k \in \mathbb{Z},n \in \mathbb{N},n + m^2 + k^2 } \right.} \right. = \left. {\left. {N,{\text{ }}g(n) \in [a,a + 1)} \right\}} \right| \leqslant \frac{{C_1 N}}{{\sqrt {W\left( N \right)} }},$ $\mathop {\sup }\limits_a \geqslant \left| {\left\{ {n, m, k: m, k \in \mathbb{Z},n \in \mathbb{N},n + m^2 + k^2 } \right.} \right. = \left. {\left. {N,{\text{ }}g(n) = a} \right\}} \right| \leqslant \frac{{C_2 N}}{{\sqrt {E\left( N \right)} }},$ . The obtained estimates are order-sharp.     

Lower bounds for the modulus of the logarithmic derivative of a polynomial

Estimates are given for the measure of a section of an arbitrary straight line of the set $$E_\delta = \left\{ {z:\left| {P' {{\left( z \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( z \right)} {\left( {nP \left( z \right)} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {nP \left( z \right)} \right)}} \leqslant \delta } \right|} \right\} \left( {\delta > 0} \right)$$ where P (z) is a polynomial of degree n. THEOREM. Suppose P (x) = (x ? x₁) ... (x ? x_n) is a polynomial with real zeros. Then, for any δ > 0, on any intervala ?x ?b, containing all of the x_k (k=1, 2, ..., n), outside an exceptional set E_δ?[a,b] such that $$mes E_\delta \leqslant \left( {\sqrt {1 + \delta ^2 \left( {b - a} \right)^2 } - 1} \right)/\delta $$ , we have the inequality $$\left| {P' {{\left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( x \right)} {\left( {nP \left( x \right)} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {nP \left( x \right)} \right)}}} \right| > \delta $$ . A similar estimate is given for polynomials whose roots lie either in Imz ? 0 or in Imz ? 0.     

Kriterien in der Theorie der Gleichverteilung

It is the aim of this paper to introduce two new notions of discrepancy. They are defined by the formulas $$\begin{gathered} \Delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\left| z \right| = r} \left| {\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 N}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} N}} \right)\sum\limits_{n = 1}^N {f\left( {z e^2 \pi i\omega \left( n \right)} \right)} - f\left( 0 \right)} \right|, and \hfill \\ \delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\left| z \right| = r} \left| {\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 N}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} N}} \right)\sum\limits_{n = 1}^N {f\left( {z \omega \left( n \right)} \right)} \cdot z - \int\limits_0^z {f\left( \zeta \right)d\zeta } } \right|, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ wheref is a holomorphic function defined in the unit disc withf ^(k) (0)≠0 for allk∈?,r<1 is a positive number, and ω is a sequence in [0, 1]. The first of these discrepancies can be generalized for multidimensional sequences. ω is uniform distributed if and only if lim _N→∞ Δ _N ^r (ω;f)=0 resp. lim _N→∞δ _N ^r (ω;f)=0. These results are proved in a quantitative way by estimating the classical discrepancyD _N (ω) by means ofΔ _N ^r (ω;f) and δ _N ^r (ω;f): $$\begin{gathered} \Delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) \ll D_N \left( \omega \right) \ll \Phi \left( {\Delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right)} \right), \hfill \\ \delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right) \ll D_N \left( \omega \right) \ll \Psi \left( {\delta _N^r \left( {\omega ;f} \right)} \right). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ The functions Φ and Ψ only depend onf andr. These estimations are based on the inequalities ofKoksma-Hlawka andErdös-Turán.     

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.
