Asymptotic behavior of the solutions of an integrodifferential system

Summary We consider the system(L): , t ⩾ p, y(t)=f(t), t⩽0, where y is an n-vector and each A_i, B(t) are n × n matrices. System(L) generates a semigroup by means of T_tf(s)=y (t+s, f), f(s) ∈ BC_l(− ∞, 0]. Under some hypotheses concerning the roots ofdet where is the Laplace transform of B(t), the asymptotic behavior of y(t) is discussed. Two typical results are: Theorem 3.1: suppose ∥B(t)∥ ɛ L₁[0, ∞), thendet forRe λ>0 iff for every ɛ>0 there is an M_ɛ>0 such that ∥T_tf∥_l ⩽ ⩽ M_ɛ exp [ɛt]∥f∥_l for t ⩾ 0. Corollary 3.1.1: suppose exp [at]B(t) ∈ ∈ L₁[0, ∞) for some a>0 anddet forRe λ>−a. Then the solution of(L) is exponentially asymptotically stable. Entrata in Redazione il 21 marzo 1975.

On estimation of a density and its derivatives

Summary Letf _n ^(p) be a recursive kernel estimate off ^(p) thepth order derivative of the probability density functionf, based on a random sample of sizen. In this paper, we provide bounds for the moments of and show that the rate of almost sure convergence of to zero isO(n ^−α), α<(r−p)/(2r+1), iff ^(r),r>p≧0, is a continuousL ₂(−∞, ∞) function. Similar rate-factor is also obtained for the almost sure convergence of to zero under different conditions onf. This work was supported in part by the Research Foundation of SUNY.

Tensor sequences and inductive limits with local partition of unity

In this note we characterize those locally convex hulls for which the -tensor product is topologically isomorphic to the locally convex hull for all normed spaces E. By using -sequences in the sense of W.Kaballo and D.Vogt [18] it is shown that is commutable with -tensor products if and only if F admits a local partition of unity. In this paper we give examples of locally convex hulls with local partition of unity. From this one obtains conditions under which the -tensor product of two bornological (DF)-spaces is again a bornological (DF)-space. Applications to sequence spaces are given.
