Quasiconvex uniform-convergence factors for Fourier series of functions with a given modulus of continuity

It is proved that a quasiconvex sequence _v of convergence factors transforms Fourier series of functions whose moduli of continuity do not exceed a given modulus of continuity(gd) into uniformly convergent series if and only if _n (1/n) log n 0 for n . The sufficiency of this condition is already known.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 8, No. 5,pp. 619–623, November, 1970.     

Optimal Constant in Approximation by Bernstein Operators

We obtained that for any n N, C = 1 is the smallest constant for which the inequality ||B _n (f) - f|| C ₂(f, 1/n) holds on the class of continuous functions f, as well as on the class of bounded functions f, where B _n is the Bernstein operators of degree n, ₂ is the second order modulus and || || is the sup-norm.     

Limit Theorems for the Maximum Terms of a Sequence of Random Variables with Marginal Geometric Distributions

Let X _n1 ^* , ... X _nn ^* be a sequence of n independent random variables which have a geometric distribution with the parameter p _n = 1/n, and M _n ^* = \max\{X _n1 ^* , ... X _nn ^* }. Let Z ₁, Z₂, Z₃, ... be a sequence of independent random variables with the uniform distribution over the set N _n = {1, 2, ... n}. For each j N _n let us denote X _nj = min{k : Z_k = j}, M _n = max{X_n1, ... X_nn}, and let S _n be the 2nd largest among X _n1, X_n2, ... X_nn. Using the methodology of verifying D(u_n) and D'(u_n) mixing conditions we prove herein that the maximum M _n has the same type I limiting distribution as the maximum M _n ^* and estimate the rate of convergence. The limiting bivariate distribution of (S_n, M_n) is also obtained. Let _n, _n N_n, , and T _n = min{M(A_n), M(B_n)}. We determine herein the limiting distribution of random variable T _n in the case _n , _n/_n > 0, as n .     

Asymptotic Density and the Asymptotics of Partition Functions

Let A be a set of positive integers with gcd (A) = 1, and let p _A (n) be the partition function of A. Let c ₀ = 2/3. If A has lower asymptotic density and upper asymptotic density , then lim inf log p _A (n)/c ₀ n and lim sup log p _A (n)/c ₀ n . In particular, if A has asymptotic density > 0, then log p _A (n) c₀n. Conversely, if > 0 and log p _A (n) c ₀ n, then the set A has asymptotic density .

Compact sets in the spaceL p (O,T; B)

Summary A characterization of compact sets in L^p (0, T; B) is given, where 1P and B is a Banach space. For the existence of solutions in nonlinear boundary value problems by the compactness method, the point is to obtain compactness in a space L^p (0,T; B) from estimates with values in some spaces X, Y or B where XBY with compact imbedding XB. Using the present characterization for this kind of situations, sufficient conditions for compactness are given with optimal parameters. As an example, it is proved that if {f_n} is bounded in L^q(0,T; B) and in L _loc ¹ (0, T; X) and if {f_n/t} is bounded in L _loc ¹ (0, T; Y) then {f_n} is relatively compact in L^p(0,T; B), p相似文献

Joint convergence of conditional expectations

Let P_n, nIN{0}, be probability measures on a-fieldA; f_n, nIN{0}, be a family of uniformly boundedA-measurable functions andA _n, nIN, be a sequence of sub--fields ofA, increasing or decreasing to the-fieldA _o. It is shown in this paper that the conditional expectations converge in P_o-measure to with k, n, m , if P_n|A, nIN, converges uniformly to P_n|A and f_n, nIN, converges in P_o-measure to f_o.     

Regressions and monotone chains II: The poset of integer intervals

A regressive function (also called a regression or contractive mapping) on a partial order P is a function mapping P to itself such that (x)x. A monotone k-chain for is a k-chain on which is order-preserving; i.e., a chain x ₁<...ksuch that (x ₁)...(x_k). Let P _nbe the poset of integer intervals {i, i+1, ..., m} contained in {1, 2, ..., n}, ordered by inclusion. Let f(k) be the least value of n such that every regression on P _nhas a monotone k+1-chain, let t(x,j) be defined by t(x, 0)=1 and t(x,j)=x ^t(x,j–1). Then f(k) exists for all k (originally proved by D. White), and t(2,k) < f(K) <t( + _k, k) , where _k 0 as k. Alternatively, the largest k such that every regression on P _nis guaranteed to have a monotone k-chain lies between lg^*(n) and lg^*(n)–2, inclusive, where lg^*(n) is the number of appliations of logarithm base 2 required to reduce n to a negative number. Analogous results hold for choice functions, which are regressions in which every element is mapped to a minimal element.

On the lower Markov spectrum

C. Hightower found two infinite sequences of gaps in the Markov spectrum, ( _n , _n ) and ( _n , _n ) with _n and _n both Markov elements, converging to . This paper exhibits Markov elements _n ^* and _n ^* such that, for alln 1, ( _n ^* , _n ) and ( _{n n} ^* ) are gaps in the Markov spectrum. Other results include showing that, for alln 1, _n is completely isolated, while the other endpoints of the gaps are limit points in the Markov spectrum.     

Perturbation of the poles of the scattering matrix under variation of the boundary condition

The behavior of the poles z_n(), n=1,2,... of the scattering matrix of the operatorl u=–u(x), x , (u/n)+(x)u|=0 as 0 is considered. It is proved that |z_n()–z_n|=0(^(1/2)qn), where q_n is the order of the pole of the scattering matrix for the operator ₀u=–u, u/=0.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Hankel operators and problems of best approximation of unbounded functions

For each function f, f VMO, there exists a unique function f₀, analytic in the circle and such that f–f₀=_f{gVMO_A}. We define the operator of best approximation (nonlinear) A, Af=f₀, fVMO, In the paper one considers the question of the preservation of a class under the action of the operator i.e. finding the classes X, X VMO, AX X. One investigates the classes X containing unbounded functions. It is proved that if P_X is the space of the symbols of the Hankel operators from a Banach space E of functions into the Hardy space H², then AX X. For E one can take almost any space.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 141, pp. 5–17, 1985.     

Estimates of the tail of the stationary density function of certain nonlinear autoregressive processes

We consider the Markov chainX _n+1=T(X _n )+ _n , where { _n ;n1} is a ^d -valued random sequence of independent identically distributed random variables, and the functionT: ^{d d} is measurable and satisfies a suitable growth condition. Under certain conditions involvingT and the probability distribution of _n , we show that this Markov chain is ergodic. Moreover, we obtain sharp upper bounds for the tail of the corresponding stationary probability density function. In our proofs, we make use of the Leray-Schauder fixed-point theorem.

Bernstein functions, complete hyperexpansivity and subnormality—I

Special classes of functions on the classical semigroupN of non-negative integers, as defined using the classical backward and forward difference operators, get associated in a natural way with special classes of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces. In particular, the class of completely monotone functions, which is a subclass of the class of positive definite functions ofN, gets associated with subnormal operators, and the class of completely alternating functions, which is a subclass of the class of negative definite functions onN, with completely hyper-expansive operators. The interplay between the theories of completely monotone and completely alternating functions has previously been exploited to unravel some interesting connections between subnormals and completely hyperexpansive operators. For example, it is known that a completely hyperexpansive weighted shift with the weight sequence {_n}(n0) (of positive reals) gives rise to a subnormal weighted shift whose weight sequence is {1/_n}(n0). The present paper discovers some new connections between the two classes of operators by building upon some well-known results in the literature that relate positive and negative definite functions on cartesian products of arbitrary sets using Bernstein functions. In particular, it is observed that the weight sequence of a completely hyperexpansive weighted shift with the weight sequence {_n}(n0) (of positive reals) gives rise to a subnormal weighted shift whose weight sequence is {_n+1/_n}(n0). It is also established that the weight sequence of any completely hyperexpansive weighted shift is a Hausdorff moment sequence. Further, the connection of Bernstein functions with Stieltjes functions and generalizations thereof is exploited to link certain classes of subnormal weighted shifts to completely hyperexpansive ones.     

An isolation theorem for decomposable forms of purely real algebraic fields of degree n⩾3

Let M be a complete module of a purely algebraic field of degree n3, let be the lattice of this module and let F(X) be its form. By we denote any lattice for which we have = , where is a nondiagonal matrix satisfying the condition ¦-I¦ , I being the identity matrix. The complete collection of such lattices will be denoted by {}. To each lattice we associate in a natural manner the decomposable form F(X). The complete collection of forms, corresponding to the set {}, will be denoted by {F} It is shown that for any given arbitrarily small interval (N–, N+), one can select an such that for each F(X) from {F} there exists an integral vector X₀ such that N– < F(X₀) < N+.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
