On rigidity of Clifford torus in a unit sphere

We extend the scalar curvature pinching theorems due to Peng-Terng, Wei-Xu and Suh-Yang. Let M be an n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurface in S n+1 satisfying Sf 4 f_3~2 ≤ 1/n S~3 , where S is the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M, and f_k =sum λ_i~k from i and λ_i (1 ≤ i ≤ n) are the principal curvatures of M. We prove that there exists a positive constant δ(n)(≥ n/2) depending only on n such that if n ≤ S ≤ n + δ(n), then S ≡ n, i.e., M is one of the Clifford torus S~k ((k/n)~1/2 ) ×S~...     

Analogues of Horn’s theorem for finite unions of starshaped sets in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis></Superscript>

Fix k, d, 1 ≤ k ≤ d + 1. Let $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} be a nonempty, finite family of closed sets in ℝ ^d , and let L be a (d − k + 1)-dimensional flat in ℝ ^d . The following results hold for the set T ≡ ∪{F: F in $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} }. Assume that, for every k (not necessarily distinct) members F ₁, …, F _k of $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} ,∪{F _i : 1 ≤ i ≤ k} is starshaped and the corresponding kernel contains a translate of L. Then T is starshaped, and its kernel also contains a translate of L.     

On set-valued cone absolutely summing maps

Spaces of cone absolutely summing maps are generalizations of Bochner spaces L ^p (μ, Y), where (Ω, Σ, μ) is some measure space, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ and Y is a Banach space. The Hiai-Umegaki space $ \mathcal{L}^1 \left[ {\sum ,cbf(X)} \right] $ \mathcal{L}^1 \left[ {\sum ,cbf(X)} \right] of integrably bounded functions F: Ω → cbf(X), where the latter denotes the set of all convex bounded closed subsets of a separable Banach space X, is a set-valued analogue of L ¹(μ, X). The aim of this work is to introduce set-valued cone absolutely summing maps as a generalization of $ \mathcal{L}^1 \left[ {\sum ,cbf(X)} \right] $ \mathcal{L}^1 \left[ {\sum ,cbf(X)} \right] , and to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a set-valued map to be such a set-valued cone absolutely summing map. We also describe these set-valued cone absolutely summing maps as those that map order-Pettis integrable functions to integrably bounded set-valued functions.     

Dual Riemannian spaces of constant curvature on a normalized hypersurface

In this paper, the following results are obtained: 1) It is proved that, in the fourth order differential neighborhood, a regular hypersurface V _n−1 embedded into a projective-metric space K _n , n ≥ 3, intrinsically induces a dual projective-metric space $ \bar K_n $ \bar K_n . 2) An invariant analytical condition is established under which a normalization of a hypersurface V _n−1 ⊂ K _n (a tangential hypersurface $ \bar V_{n - 1} $ \bar V_{n - 1} ⊂ $ \bar K_n $ \bar K_n ) by quasitensor fields H _n ⁱ , H _i ($ \bar H_n^i $ \bar H_n^i , $ \bar H_i $ \bar H_i ) induces a Riemannian space of constant curvature. If the two conditions are fulfilled simultaneously, the spaces R _n−1 and $ \bar R_{n - 1} $ \bar R_{n - 1} are spaces of the same constant curvature $ K = - \tfrac{1} {c} $ K = - \tfrac{1} {c} . 3) Geometric interpretations of the obtained analytical conditions are given.     

Spaces with fibered approximation property in dimension <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>

A metric space M is said to have the fibered approximation property in dimension n (briefly, M ∈ FAP(n)) if for any ɛ > 0, m ≥ 0 and any map g: $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^m × $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ⁿ → M there exists a map g′: $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^m × $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ⁿ → M such that g′ is ɛ-homotopic to g and dim g′ ({z} × $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ⁿ ) ≤ n for all z ∈ $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^m . The class of spaces having the FAP(n)-property is investigated in this paper. The main theorems are applied to obtain generalizations of some results due to Uspenskij [11] and Tuncali-Valov [10].     

Asymptotic property of approximation to x αsgn x by Newman Type Operators

Approximation to the function ｜x｜ plays an important role in approximation theory. This paper studies the approximation to the function xαsgn x, which equals ｜x｜ if α = 1. We construct a Newman Type Operator rn（x） and prove max ｜x｜≤1｜xαsgn x-rn（x）｜～Cn1/4e-π1/2（1/2）αn.     

Integral-type operators from a mixed norm space to a bloch-type space on the unit ball

Let $ \mathbb{B} $ \mathbb{B} be the unit ball in ℂ ⁿ and let H($ \mathbb{B} $ \mathbb{B} ) be the space of all holomorphic functions on $ \mathbb{B} $ \mathbb{B} . We introduce the following integral-type operator on H($ \mathbb{B} $ \mathbb{B} ):

Wavelet approximation and Fourier widths of classes of periodic functions of several variables. I

We obtain characterizations (and prove the corresponding equivalence of norms) of function spaces B _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) and L _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) of Nikol’skii-Besov and Lizorkin-Triebel types, respectively, in terms of representations of functions in these spaces by Fourier series with respect to a multiple system $ \mathcal{W}_m^\mathbb{I} $ \mathcal{W}_m^\mathbb{I} of Meyer wavelets and in terms of sequences of the Fourier coefficients with respect to this system. We establish order-sharp estimates for the approximation of functions in B _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ) and L _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) by special partial sums of these series in the metric of L _r ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) for a number of relations between the parameters s, p, q, r, and m (s = (s ₁, ..., s _n ) ∈ ℝ₊ ⁿ , 1 ≤ p, q, r ≤ ∞, m = (m ₁, ..., m _n ) ∈ ℕ ⁿ , k = m ₁ +... + m _n , and $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} = ℝ or $ \mathbb{T} $ \mathbb{T} ). In the periodic case, we study the Fourier widths of these function classes.     

Trace class Toeplitz operators with unbounded symbols on weighted Bergman spaces

In this note we construct a function φ in L2（Bn,dμ） which is unbounded on any neighborhood of each boundary point of Bn such that Tφ is a trace class operator on weighted Bergman space Lα2（Bn,dμ） for several complex variables.     

On a bipartition problem of Bollobás and Scott

The bipartite density of a graph G is max {|E(H)|/|E(G)|: H is a bipartite subgraph of G}. It is NP-hard to determine the bipartite density of any triangle-free cubic graph. A biased maximum bipartite subgraph of a graph G is a bipartite subgraph of G with the maximum number of edges such that one of its partite sets is independent in G. Let $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} denote the collection of all connected cubic graphs which have bipartite density $ \tfrac{4} {5} $ \tfrac{4} {5} and contain biased maximum bipartite subgraphs. Bollobás and Scott asked which cubic graphs belong to $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} . This same problem was also proposed by Malle in 1982. We show that any graph in $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} can be reduced, through a sequence of three types of operations, to a member of a well characterized class. As a consequence, we give an algorithm that decides whether a given graph G belongs to $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} . Our algorithm runs in polynomial time, provided that G has a constant number of triangles that are not blocks of G and do not share edges with any other triangles in G.     

Strict topology over the space of measures with continuous translations on a locally compact foundation semigroup

Let $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} be a locally compact semigroup, ω be a weight function on $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , and M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) be the weighted semigroup algebra of $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} . Let L ₀^∞ ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} ; M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)) be the C*-algebra of all M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)-measurable functions g on $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} such that g/ω vanishes at infinity. We introduce and study a strict topology β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) on M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) and show that the Banach space L ₀^∞ ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} ; M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)) can be identified with the dual of M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) endowed with β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω). We finally investigate some properties of the locally convex topology β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) on M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω).     

Complete moment and integral convergence for sums of negatively associated random variables

For a sequence of identically distributed negatively associated random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} with partial sums Sn = ∑i=1^n Xi, n ≥ 1, refinements are presented of the classical Baum-Katz and Lai complete convergence theorems. More specifically, necessary and sufficient moment conditions are provided for complete moment convergence of the form ∑n≥n0 n^r-2-1/pq anE（max1≤k≤n｜Sk｜^1/q-∈bn^1/qp）^＋〈∞to hold where r 〉 1, q 〉 0 and either n0 = 1,0 〈 p 〈 2, an = 1,bn = n or n0 = 3,p = 2, an = 1 （log n） ^1/2q, bn=n log n. These results extend results of Chow and of Li and Spataru from the indepen- dent and identically distributed case to the identically distributed negatively associated setting. The complete moment convergence is also shown to be equivalent to a form of complete integral convergence.     

Stabilization for the vibrations modeled by the ‘standard linear model’ of viscoelasticity

We study the stabilization of vibrations of a flexible structure modeled by the ‘standard linear model’ of viscoelasticity in a bounded domain in ℝ ⁿ with a smooth boundary. We prove that amplitude of the vibrations remains bounded in the sense of a suitable norm in a space $ \mathbb{X} $ \mathbb{X} , defined explicitly in (22) subject to a restriction on the uncertain disturbing forces on $ \mathbb{X} $ \mathbb{X} . We also estimate the total energy of the system over time interval [0, T] for any T > 0, with a tolerance level of the disturbances. Finally, when the input disturbances are insignificant, uniform exponential stabilization is obtained and an explicit form for the energy decay rate is derived. These results are achieved by a direct method under undamped mixed boundary conditions.     

On holomorphic solutions of some inhomogeneous linear differential equations in a banach space over a non-archimedean field

Let A be a closed linear operator on a Banach space $ \mathfrak{B} $ \mathfrak{B} over the field Ω of complex p-adic numbers having an inverse operator defined on the whole $ \mathfrak{B} $ \mathfrak{B} , and f be a locally holomorphic at 0 $ \mathfrak{B} $ \mathfrak{B} -valued vector function. The problem of existence and uniqueness of a locally holomorphic at 0 solution of the differential equation y ^(m) − Ay = f is considered in this paper. In particular, it is shown that this problem is solvable under the condition $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \sqrt[n]{{\left\| {A^{ - n} } \right\|}} $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \sqrt[n]{{\left\| {A^{ - n} } \right\|}} = 0. It is proved also that if the vector-function f is entire, then there exists a unique entire solution of this equation. Moreover, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cauchy problem for such an equation to be correctly posed in the class of locally holomorphic functions are presented.

We present a few results and problems related to spaces of continuous functions with the topology of pointwise convergence and the classes of LΣ(≤ ω)-spaces; in particular, we prove that every Gul’ko compact space of cardinality less or equal to $ \mathfrak{c} $ \mathfrak{c} is an LΣ(≤ ω)-space.     

New improvements on connectivity of cages

A (δ, g)-cage is a δ-regular graph with girth g and with the least possible number of vertices. In this paper, we show that all (δ, g)-cages with odd girth g ≥ 9 are r-connected, where (r − 1)² ≤ δ + $ \sqrt \delta $ \sqrt \delta − 2 < r ² and all (δ, g)-cages with even girth g ≥ 10 are r-connected, where r is the largest integer satisfying $ \frac{{r\left( {r - 1} \right)^2 }} {4} + 1 + 2r\left( {r - 1} \right) \leqslant \delta $ \frac{{r\left( {r - 1} \right)^2 }} {4} + 1 + 2r\left( {r - 1} \right) \leqslant \delta . These results support a conjecture of Fu, Huang and Rodger that all (δ, g)-cages are δ-connected.

A condition for asymptotic finite-dimensionality of an operator semigroup

Let X be a Banach space and let T: X → X be a power bounded linear operator. Put X ₀ = {x ∈ X ∣ T ⁿ x → 0}. Assume given a compact set K ⊂ X such that lim inf _n→∞ ρ{T ⁿ x, K} ≤ η < 1 for every x ∈ X, ∥x∥ ≤ 1. If $\eta < \tfrac{1} {2} $\eta < \tfrac{1} {2} , then codim X ₀ < ∞. This is true in X reflexive for $\eta \in [\tfrac{1} {2},1) $\eta \in [\tfrac{1} {2},1) , but fails in the general case.
