Symmetrization of functions in Sobolev spaces and the isoperimetric inequality

A positive measurable function f on R^d can be symmetrized to a function f^* depending only on the distance r, and with the same distribution function as f. If the distribution derivatives of f are Radon measures then we have the inequality f^*f, where f is the total mass of the gradient. This inequality is a generalisation of the classical isoperimetric inequality for sets. Furthermore, and this is important for applications, if f belongs to the Sobolev space H¹,P then f^* belongs to H¹,P and f^*_pf_p.     

Asymptotic behaviour of the solution of a semilinear parabolic equation

We study the asymptotic behaviour ast tends to + of the solution of (u/t)–Lu+(u)–0,u _|=0 whereL is a second order self-adjoint elliptic operator and a maximal monotone graph of . If |(r)|/|r|²L ¹ (-1, 1) and ₁ is the first eigenvalue ofL we prove that u(.,t) converges uniformly on to some element of Ker (L + ₁ I) and that the limit is nonzero if |(r)|/|r| is nondecreasing. We give also some properties of the limit (monotonicity, continuity, range).     

The cohomology of invariant variational bicomplexes

Let: E M be a fiber bundle and let be an infinitesimal Lie transformation group acting onE. We announce various new results concerning the cohomology of the invariant variational bicomplex ( ^*,* (J(E)), d_H, d_V) and the associated invariant Euler-Lagrange complex. As one application of our general theory, we completely solve the local invariant inverse problem of the calculus of variations for finite-dimensional infinitesimal Lie transformation groups.     

Feller Processes Generated by Pseudo-Differential Operators: On the Hausdorff Dimension of Their Sample Paths

Let {X _t} _t0 be a Feller process generated by a pseudo-differential operator whose symbol satisfiesÇⁿ|q(Ç,)|c(1=)()) for some fixed continuous negative definite function (). The Hausdorff dimension of the set {X _t:tE}, E [0, 1] is any analytic set, is a.s. bounded above by dim E. is the Blumenthal–Getoor upper index of the Levy Process associated with ().     

The Singularity Spectrum f(α) of Some Moran Fractals

We show that the multifractal decomposition behaves as expected for a family of sets E known as homogeneous Moran fractals associated with the Fibonacci sequence , using probability measures () associated with the Fibonacci sequence . For each value of a parameter (_min, _max), we define multifractal components E of E, and show that they are fractals in the sense of Taylor. We give the explicit formula for the dimension of E. Also our method can be used for the Moran fractals associated with some more general sequences.     

Spectral properties of Neumann Laplacian of horns

We study the Neumann Laplacian of unbounded regions in ⁿ with cusps at infinity so that the corresponding Dirichlet Laplacian has compact resolvent. Typical of our results is that of the region {(x, y)²x, y|<1} the Neumann Laplacian has absolutely continuous spectrum [0, ) of uniform multiplicity four and an infinity of eigenvaluesE _o<E ₁... and that for the region {(x, y)²y|1}, it has absolutely continuous spectrum [1/4, ) of uniform multiplicity 2 and an infinity of eigenvaluesE ₀=0<E ₁.... We use the Enss theory with a suitable asymptotic dynamics.The second author's research is partially funded under NSF grand number DMS-8801918     

On measures integrating all functions of a given vector lattice

LetE be a vector lattice of real-valued functions defined on a setX, and (E):={{f1}:fE}. Among others, it is shown that, under some additional assumptions onE, every measure that integrates all functionsfE is (E)--smooth iffX is (E)-complete. An application of this general result to various topological situations yields some new measure-theoretic characterizations of realcompact, Borel-complete andN-compact spaces, respectively.     

Analysis of the state of stress of cylindrically orthotropic rings subjected to concentrated loads

The state of stress of rings of different thickness with high degrees of anisotropy ²=E/E_r, ²=E_gq/G_r is analyzed on the basis of the solution of the plane problem for a cylindrically orthotropic body. The accuracy of the stress determination in accordance with approximate theories of bending of curved bars is estimated. The radial tensile stresses that develop when rings are bent by concentrated loads are calculated.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.

Stability radius of polynomials occurring in the numerical solution of initial value problems

This paper deals with polynomial approximations(x) to the exponential function exp(x) related to numerical procedures for solving initial value problems. Motivated by stability requirements, we present a numerical study of the largest diskD()={z C: |z+|} that is contained in the stability regionS()={z C: |(z)|1}. The radius of this largest disk is denoted byr(), the stability radius. On the basis of our numerical study, several conjectures are made concerningr _m,p=sup {r(): _m,p}. Here _{m, p} (1pm; p, m integers) is the class of all polynomials(x) with real coefficients and degree m for which(x)=exp(x)+O(x ^p+1) (forx 0).

In this paper, the generalized Schrödinger equation (–)u=0 on the punctured unit disk of ² is investigated. If is rotation free and satisfies the Picard principle at the origin, it is shown that if a setE is minimal thin relatively to an extremal harmonic functionh with zero boundary values at {|x|=1}, there exists a sequence (r _n ) converging to zero such that B(O,r _n ) C E. Lete be the -unit. It is proved that if a measure satisfies _\E e h d<, for a minimal thin, relatively toh , setE then the Picard principle is valid for the measure + .

     

Multipliers on the Set of Rademacher Series in Symmetric Spaces

Let E be a symmetric space on [0,1]. Let (,E) be the space of measurable functions f such that fg E for every almost everywhere convergent series g=b _n r _n E, where (r _n) are the Rademacher functions. It was shown that, for a broad class of spaces E, the space (,E) is not order isomorphic to a symmetric space, and we study the conditions under which such an isomorphism exists. We give conditions on E for (,E) to be order isomorphic to L . This includes some classes of Lorentz and Marcinkiewicz spaces. We also study the conditions under which (,E) is order isomorphic to a symmetric space that differs from L . The answer is positive for the Orlicz spaces E=L _q with _q(t)=exp|t|^q-1 and 0相似文献   

Asymptotic Behavior of Entire Functions with Exceptional Values in the Borel Relation

Let M _f(r) and _f (r) be, respectively, the maximum of the modulus and the maximum term of an entire function f and let l(r) be a continuously differentiable function convex with respect to ln r. We establish that, in order that ln M _f(r) ln _f (r), r +, for every entire function f such that _f (r) l(r), r +, it is necessary and sufficient that ln (rl(r)) = o(l(r)), r +.     

Remarks on some classes of Fourier coefficients

In this paper equivalent classes of the classes M' and S' _{p r}, p >1, 0,r {0,1,2,...,[]} defined by Sheng [5] are obtained. Then it is shown that the classes of Fourier coefficients S _p, S' _p(case r==0) and S _p(), p>1, defined by . V. Stanojevi, V. B. Stanojevi Sheng and the author of the present note are identical. As a corollary of this result, the L ¹-estimate for cosine series, obtained in [10], is refined.     

Canonical and Boundary Representations on a Hyperboloid of One Sheet

For the hyperboloid of one sheet X=G/H, G=SO₀(1,2), H=SO₀(1,1), canonical representations R _,, C, =0,1, are defined as the restrictions to G of representations of the overgroup =SO₀(2,2) associated with a cone. They act on the torus containing two copies of X as open G-orbits. We study boundary representations generated by R _,. For some , they contain Jordan blocks. The decomposition of R _, into irreducible constituents includes a finite number (depending on ) of irreducible parts of the boundary representations.     

A Remark on Bernstein,Prokhorov, Bennett,Hoeffding, and Talagrand Inequalities

Let X ₁,..., X_n be independent random variables such that {X_j 1}=1 and E X _j=0 for all j. We prove an upper bound for the tail probabilities of the sum M _n=X₁+...+ X_n. Namely, we prove the inequality {M _nx} 3.7 {S_n x}, where S _n=₁+...+ _n is a sum of centered independent identically distributed Bernoulli random variables such that E S _n ² =ME M _n ² and {_k=1}=E S _n ² /(n+E S _n ² ) for all k (we call a random variable Bernoulli if it assumes at most two values). The inequality holds for x at which the survival function x{S _nx} has a jump down. For remaining x, the inequality still holds provided that we interpolate the function between the adjacent jump points linearly or log-linearly. If necessary, in order to estimate {S _nx} one can use special bounds for binomial probabilities. Up to the factor at most 2.375, the inequality is final. The inequality improves the classical Bernstein, Prokhorov, Bennett, Hoeffding, Talagrand, and other bounds.     

The measure of a translated ball in uniformly convex spaces

Let (E, ¦·¦) be a uniformly convex Banach space with the modulus of uniform convexity of power type. Let be the convolution of the distribution of a random series inE with independent one-dimensional components and an arbitrary probability measure onE. Under some assumptions about the components and the smoothness of the norm we show that there exists a constant such that |{·<t}–{·+r<t}|r ^q , whereq depends on the properties of the norm. We specify it in the case ofL spaces, >1.     

The spectra of closed interpolated operators

Let (E ₀,E ₁) be a compatible couple of Banach spaces, and letE : 0Re1 be the complex interpolation spaces ofE ₀,E ₁. LetT be a closed linear operator onE ₀+E ₁, then the restrictionT ofT to eachE is closed. If we denote by the extended spectrum ofT inE , then, under appropriate conditions, it is shown that the map is an analytic multifunction in the strip {C0<Re<1}. We use these results to give some applications to the spectral theory of semigroups.     

Striktionseigenschaften von Regelscharen imE n

Let ={e(u)|uI} be a one-parameter family of straight lines forming a ruledC ^r-2-surface E ⁿ (n2,r1) without singular generatorse(u) (uI). As a synopsis, a generalization and an improvement of various results already known about the strictional properties of ruled surfaces E ⁿ (especially in the casen=3) the author demonstrates a uniform geometrical way of defining and uniquely obtaining thestriction point S(u) and theparameter of distribution d(u) of a generatore(u) under the minimal assumptions thate(u)E ⁿ (n2) be noncylindrical andr1. Other methods of obtainingS(u) andd(u) are discussed in comparison, and special strictional properties ofskew ruled surfaces E ⁿ are proved.

Primitive Inner Illuminating Systems for Convex Bodies

A set X of boundary points of a (possibly unbounded) convex body KE ^d illuminating K from within is called primitive if no proper subset of X still illuminates K from within. We prove that for such a primitive set X of an unbounded, convex set KE ^d (distinct from a cone) one has X=2 if d=2, X6 if d=3, and that there is no upper bound for X if d4.     

A free convenient vector space for holomorphic spaces

In this paper we show that there exists a free convenient vector space for the case of holomorphic spaces and holomorphic maps. This means that for every spaceX with a holomorphic structure, there exists an appropriately complete locally convex vector space X and a holomorphic mapl _X:XX, such that for any vector space of the same kind the map (l _X )^*:L(X,E)(X,E) is a bijection. Analogously to the smooth case treated in [2, 5.1.1] the free convenient vector space X can be obtained as the Mackey closure of the linear subspace spanned by the image of the canonical mapX(X).In the second part of the paper we prove that in the case whereX is a Riemann surface, one hasX=(X,).
