The Microstructure of (t, m, s)-Nets

In an article of A. B. Owen (1998, J. Complexity14, 466–489) the question about the distribution properties of digital (t, m, s)-nets in small intervals was raised. We give upper and lower bounds for the maximum number of points of a (t, m, s)-net in these intervals and also provide a way of improving the distribution properties in some cases.     

Variations on (0, s)-Sequences

In the first part of this paper, after a survey on the general theory of (t, s)-sequences, we review the main constructions of (0, s)-sequences and point out some relations between them. From these comparisons and from examples we have met in another context, we have found new (0, s)-sequences in prime base b to which the second part is devoted; the proofs are based on the general framework of formal Laurent series introduced by Niederreiter; the construction can be randomized and should have numerical applications.     

Rate of Convergence for the Absolutely (C, α) Summable Fourier Series of Functions of Bounded Variation

A theorem of Bosanquet states that the Fourier series of a 2π-periodic function of bounded variation is absolutely (C, α) summable. In this paper we give a quantitative version of Bosanquet's result.     

On sequences cat(f)

We prove that, for every decreasing sequence {a_k} of natural numbers, there exists a map f :X→X with catf^k=a_k.     

Weak convergence to the matrix stochastic integral ∫0 B dB′

The asymptotic theory of regression with integrated processes of the ARIMA type frequently involves weak convergence to stochastic integrals of the form ∫₀¹ W dW, where W(r) is standard Brownian motion. In multiple regressions and vector autoregressions with vector ARIMA processes, the theory involves weak convergence to matrix stochastic integrals of the form ∫₀¹ B dB′, where B(r) is vector Brownian motion with a non-scalar covariance matrix. This paper studies the weak convergence of sample covariance matrices to ∫₀¹ B dB′ under quite general conditions. The theory is applied to vector autoregressions with integrated processes.     

A combinatorial interpretation of the recurrence fn+1 = 6fn − fn−1

Bonin et al. (1993) recalled an open problem related to the recurrence relation verified by NSW numbers. The recurrence relation is the following: f_n+1 = 6f_n − f_n−1, with f₁ = 1 and f₂ = 7, and no combinatorial interpretation seems to be known. In this note, we define a regular language L whose number of words having length n is equal to f_n+1. Then, by using L we give a direct combinatorial proof of the recurrence.

On the largest kth eigenvalues of trees with n≡0 (mod k)

We consider the only remaining unsolved case n≡0 (mod k) for the largest kth eigenvalue of trees with n vertices. In 1995, Jia-yu Shao gave complete solutions for the cases k=2,3,4,5,6 and provided some necessary conditions for extremal trees in general cases (cf. [Linear Algebra Appl. 221 (1995) 131]). We further improve Shao's necessary condition in this paper, which can be seen as the continuation of [Linear Algebra Appl. 221 (1995) 131].     

Exact and explicit solutions to some nonlinear evolution equations by utilizing the (G′/G)-expansion method

In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the so-called (G′/G)-expansion method by examining some nonlinear evolution equations with physical interest. Our work is motivated by the fact that the (G′/G)-expansion method provides not only more general forms of solutions but also periodic and solitary waves. If we set the parameters in the obtained wider set of solutions as special values, then some previously known solutions can be recovered. The method appears to be easier and faster by means of a symbolic computation system.     

POWERS OF AN INVERTIBLE （s,p） - ω-HYPONORMAL OPERATOR

It is known that the square of a ω-hyponormal operator is also ω-hyponormal. For any 0〈 p 〈 1, there exists a special invertible operator such that all of its integer powers are all p - ω-hyponormal. In this article, the author introduces the class of （s, p） -ω-hyponormal operators on the basis of the class of p- ω-hyponormal operators. For s 〉0, 0 〈 p 〈 1, the author gives a characterization of （s,p） -ω-hyponormal operatots; the author shows that all integer powers of special （s, p） -ω-hyponormal operators are （s,p） -ω-hyzponormal.     

The projection of the f-vectors of 4-polytopes onto the (E, S)-plane

We characterize all pairs of integers (E, S) such that there exist convex 4-dimensional polytopes with exactly E edges and S 2-dimensional faces.     

The invariant polynomials characterizing U(n) tensor operators p, q,…, q, 0,…, 0 having maximal null space

We make use of the “path sum” function to prove that the family of stretched operator functions characterized by the operator irrep labels p,q,…,q, 0,…, 0 satisfy a pair of general difference equations. This family of functions is a generalization of Milne's p,q,…,q, 0, functions for U(n) and Biedenharn and Louck's p,q, 0 functions for U(3). The fact that this family of stretched operator functions are polynomials follows from a detailed study of their symmetries and zeros. As a further application of our general difference equations and symmetry properties we give an explicit formula for the polynomials characterized by the operator irrep labels p, 1, 0,…, 0.     

The region of values of the system { f ( z 1),..., f ( z n )} in the class of typically real functions. III

The paper studies the region of values D_m,n(T) of the system {f(z₁), f(z₂),..., f(z_m), f(r₁), f(r₂),..., f(r_n)}, where m ≥ 1; n > 1; z_j, j = 1, ... m, are arbitrary fixed points of the disk U = {z: |z| < 1} with Im z_j ≠ 0, j = 1, 2, ..., m; r_j, 0 < r_j < 1, j = 1, 2, ..., n, are fixed; f ∈ T, and the class T consists of functions f(z) = z + c₂z² + ... regular in the disk U and satisfying the condition Im f(z) · Im z > 0 for Im z ≠= 0, z ∈ U. An algebraic characterization of the set D_m,n(T) in terms of nonnegative-definite Hermitian forms is provided, and all the boundary functions are described. As an implication, the region of values of f(z₁) in the subclass of functions f ∈ T with prescribed values f(r_j) (j = 1, 2, 3) is determined. Bibliography: 12 titles.

On Positive and Copositive Polynomial and Spline Approximation inLp[−1, 1], 0<p<∞

For a functionfL_p[−1, 1], 0<p<∞, with finitely many sign changes, we construct a sequence of polynomialsP_nΠ_nwhich are copositive withfand such that f−P_npCω(f, (n+1)⁻¹)_p, whereω(f, t)_pdenotes the Ditzian–Totik modulus of continuity inL_pmetric. It was shown by S. P. Zhou that this estimate is exact in the sense that if f has at least one sign change, thenωcannot be replaced byω²if 1<p<∞. In fact, we show that even for positive approximation and all 0<p<∞ the same conclusion is true. Also, some results for (co)positive spline approximation, exact in the same sense, are obtained.
