Generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Baskakov operators

In the present paper we propose a generalization of the Baskakov operators, based on q integers. We also estimate the rate of convergence in the weighted norm. In the last section, we study some shape preserving properties and the property of monotonicity of q-Baskakov operators.     

On discrete <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-beta operators

The aim of the present paper is to introduce and study the q-analogue of discrete beta operators. First, we show some approximation properties of these operators. Then, we establish some global direct error estimates for the above operators using the second order Ditzian–Totik modulus of smoothness. Finally, we define and study the limit discrete q-beta operator.     

The moments for <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Bernstein operators in the case 0 < <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis> < 1

In this note we give the estimates of the central moments for q-Bernstein operators (0 < q < 1) which can be used for studying the approximation properties of the operators.     

A study of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis> + 1), <Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>; 2, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>)-minihypers

In this paper, we study the weighted (x(q + 1), x; 2, q)-minihypers. These are weighted sets of x(q + 1) points in PG(2, q) intersecting every line in at least x points. We investigate the decomposability of these minihypers, and define a switching construction which associates to an (x(q + 1), x; 2, q)-minihyper, with x ≤ q ² − q, not decomposable in the sum of another minihyper and a line, a (j(q + 1), j; 2, q)-minihyper, where j = q ² − q − x, again not decomposable into the sum of another minihyper and a line. We also characterize particular (x(q + 1), x; 2, q)-minihypers, and give new examples. Additionally, we show that (x(q + 1), x; 2, q)-minihypers can be described as rational sums of lines. In this way, this work continues the research on (x(q + 1), x; 2, q)-minihypers by Hill and Ward (Des Codes Cryptogr 44:169–196, 2007), giving further results on these minihypers.     

Some <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-inequalities for Hausdorff operators

We calculate the sharp bounds for some q-analysis variants of Hausdorff type inequalities of the form

$$\int_0^{ + \infty } {{{\left( {\int_0^{ + \infty } {\frac{{\phi \left( t \right)}}{t}f\left( {\frac{x}{t}} \right){d_q}t} } \right)}^p}{d_q}x} \leqslant {C_\phi }\int_0^b {{f^p}\left( t \right)} {d_q}t$$

. As applications, we obtain several sharp q-analysis inequalities of the classical positive integral operators, including the Hardy operator and its adjoint operator, the Hilbert operator, and the Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya operator.

     

Approximation by <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Bernstein type operators

Using the q-Bernstein basis, we construct a new sequence {L _n } of positive linear operators in C[0, 1]. We study its approximation properties and the rate of convergence in terms of modulus of continuity.

On a <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-analogue of Stancu operators

This paper is concerned with a generalization in q-Calculus of Stancu operators. Involving modulus of continuity and Lipschitz type maximal function, we give estimates for the rate of convergence. A probabilistic approach is presented and approximation properties are established.     

On the directions problem in <Emphasis Type="Italic">AG</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>)

We prove that if q = p ^h , p a prime, do not exist sets U í AG(n,q){U {\subseteq} AG(n,q)}, with |U| = q ^k and 1 < k < n, determining N directions where

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-gamma <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-distribution

We provide combinatorial as well as probabilistic interpretations for the q-analogue of the Pochhammer k-symbol introduced by Díaz and Teruel. We introduce q-analogues of the Mellin transform in order to study the q-analogue of the k-gamma distribution.     

The tree method for multidimensional <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Hahn and <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Racah polynomials

We develop a tree method for multidimensional q-Hahn polynomials. We define them as eigenfunctions of a multidimensional q-difference operator and we use the factorization of this operator as a key tool. Then we define multidimensional q-Racah polynomials as the connection coefficients between different bases of q-Hahn polynomials. We show that our multidimensional q-Racah polynomials may be expressed as product of ordinary one-dimensional q-Racah polynomial by means of a suitable sequence of transplantations of edges of the trees. Our paper is inspired to the classical tree methods in the theory of Clebsch–Gordan coefficients and of hyperspherical coordinates. It is based on previous work of Dunkl, who considered two-dimensional q-Hahn polynomials. It is also related to a recent paper of Gasper and Rahman: we show that their multidimensional q-Racah polynomials correspond to a particular case of our construction.     

Some <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-congruences for homogeneous and quasi-homogeneous multiple <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-harmonic sums

We show some new Wolstenholme type q-congruences for some classes of multiple q-harmonic sums of arbitrary depth with strings of indices composed of ones, twos, and threes. Most of these results are q-extensions of the corresponding congruences for ordinary multiple harmonic sums obtained by the authors in a previous paper. We also establish duality congruences for multiple q-harmonic non-strict sums and a kind of duality for multiple q-harmonic strict sums. Finally, we pose a conjecture concerning two kinds of cyclic sums of multiple q-harmonic sums.     

A Characterization of PSL(3, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>) for <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>=2<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Superscript>

The order components of a finite group are introduced in [12]. In [9], it is proved that the group PSL(3,q), where q is an odd prime power, is uniquely determined by its order components. In this paper, we show that the group PSL(3, q), where q=2 ^m , is also uniquely determined by its order components.

Products of composition operators and integral-type operators from Zygmund-type spaces to <Emphasis Type="Italic">Q</Emphasis> <Subscript> <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis> </Subscript> spaces

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>-factorization of complete bipartite multigraphs

Let λK _m,n be a complete bipartite multigraph with two partite sets having m and n vertices, respectively. A K _p,q -factorization of λK _m,n is a set of edge-disjoint K _p,q -factors of λK _m,n which partition the set of edges of λK _m,n . When p = 1 and q is a prime number, Wang, in his paper [On K _1,q -factorization of complete bipartite graph, Discrete Math., 126: (1994), 359-364], investigated the K _1,q -factorization of K _m,n and gave a sufficient condition for such a factorization to exist. In papers [K _1,k -factorization of complete bipartite graphs, Discrete Math., 259: 301-306 (2002),; K _p,q -factorization of complete bipartite graphs, Sci. China Ser. A-Math., 47: (2004), 473-479], Du and Wang extended Wang’s result to the case that p and q are any positive integers. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for λK _m,n to have a K _p,q -factorization. As a special case, it is shown that the necessary condition for the K _p,q -factorization of λK _m,n is always sufficient when p : q = k : (k + 1) for any positive integer k.     

Smooth noncompact operators from <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>), <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis> scattered

Let X be a Banach space, K be a scattered compact and T: B _C(K) → X be a Fréchet smooth operator whose derivative is uniformly continuous. We introduce the smooth biconjugate T**: B _C(K)** → X** and prove that if T is noncompact, then the derivative of T** at some point is a noncompact linear operator. Using this we conclude, among other things, that either is compact or that ℓ₁ is a complemented subspace of X*. We also give some relevant examples of smooth functions and operators, in particular, a C ^1,u -smooth noncompact operator from B _{c O} which does not fix any (affine) basic sequence. P.

Small weight codewords in the dual code of points and hyperplanes in PG(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>), <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis> even

The main theorem of this article gives a classification of the codewords in \({C^{\bot}_{n-1}(n,q)}\) , the dual code of points and hyperplanes in PG(n, q), q even, with weight smaller than \({q+\sqrt[3]{q^{2}}+1}\). In the proof, we rely on the classification of the small blocking sets in PG(2, q), q even.
