In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear wave equation

(1)

where , , μ, f, g are given functions. To problem (1), we associate a linear recursive scheme for which the existence of a local and unique weak solution is proved by applying the Faedo–Galerkin method and the weak compact method. In the case of , , μ(z)≥μ₀>0, μ₁(z)≥0, for all , and , , , a weak solution u_ε1,ε2(x,t) having an asymptotic expansion of order N+1 in two small parameters ε₁, ε₂ is established for the following equation associated to (1)_2,3:

Widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the ball

We study the Kolmogorov n-widths and the linear n-widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the unit ball B^d in L_q,μ, where L_q,μ, 1≤q≤∞, denotes the weighted L_q space of functions on B^d with respect to weight . Optimal asymptotic orders of and as n→∞ are obtained for all 1≤p,q≤∞ and μ≥0.     

Finitely additive representation of spaces

Let be any atomless and countably additive probability measure on the product space with the usual σ-algebra. Then there is a purely finitely additive probability measure λ on the power set of a countable subset such that can be isometrically isomorphically embedded as a closed subspace of L^p(λ). The embedding is strict. It is also ‘canonical,’ in the sense that it maps simple and continuous functions on to their restrictions to T.     

Interlacing and spacing properties of zeros of polynomials, in particular of orthogonal and -minimal polynomials,

Let be a sequence of polynomials with real coefficients such that uniformly for [α-δ,β+δ] with G(eⁱ)≠0 on [α,β], where 0α<βπ and δ>0. First it is shown that the zeros of are dense in [α,β], have spacing of precise order π/n and are interlacing with the zeros of p_n+1(cos) on [α,β] for every nn₀. Let be another sequence of real polynomials with uniformly on [α-δ,β+δ] and on [α,β]. It is demonstrated that for all sufficiently large n the zeros of p_n(cos) and strictly interlace on [α,β] if on [α,β]. If the last expression is zero then a weaker kind of interlacing holds. These interlacing properties of the zeros are new for orthogonal polynomials also. For instance, for large n a simple criteria for interlacing of zeros of Jacobi polynomials on [-1+,1-], >0, is obtained. Finally it is shown that the results hold for wide classes of weighted L_q-minimal polynomials, q[1,∞], linear combinations and products of orthogonal polynomials, etc.     

Existence results for -point boundary value problem of second order ordinary differential equations

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to the boundary value problemwhere ξ_i(0,1) with 0<ξ₁<ξ₂<<ξ_n-2<1, a_i, b_i[0,∞) with and . By applying the Krasnoselskii's fixed-point theorem in Banach spaces, some sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of at least one positive solution or at least two positive solutions are established for the above general n-point boundary value problem.     

Strong Haagerup inequalities with operator coefficients

We prove a Strong Haagerup inequality with operator coefficients. If for an integer d, denotes the subspace of the von Neumann algebra of a free group F_I spanned by the words of length d in the generators (but not their inverses), then we provide in this paper an explicit upper bound on the norm on , which improves and generalizes previous results by Kemp–Speicher (in the scalar case) and Buchholz and Parcet–Pisier (in the non-holomorphic setting). Namely the norm of an element of the form ∑_{i=(i1,…,id)}a_iλ(g_i1g_id) is less than , where M₀,…,M_d are d+1 different block-matrices naturally constructed from the family (a_i)_iI^d for each decomposition of I^dI^l×I^d−l with l=0,…,d. It is also proved that the same inequality holds for the norms in the associated non-commutative L_p spaces when p is an even integer, pd and when the generators of the free group are more generally replaced by *-free -diagonal operators. In particular it applies to the case of free circular operators. We also get inequalities for the non-holomorphic case, with a rate of growth of order d+1 as for the classical Haagerup inequality. The proof is of combinatorial nature and is based on the definition and study of a symmetrization process for partitions.     

On -convergence of Fourier series

In this paper we consider the trigonometric Fourier series with the β-general monotone coefficients. Necessary and sufficient conditions of L₁-convergence for such a series, that is f−S_n=o(1), are obtained in terms of coefficients.     

Positive solutions for Robin problem involving the -Laplacian

Consider Robin problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian on a smooth bounded domain Ω as follows

Applying the sub-supersolution method and the variational method, under appropriate assumptions on f, we prove that there exists λ_*>0 such that the problem has at least two positive solutions if λ(0,λ_*), has at least one positive solution if λ=λ_*<+∞ and has no positive solution if λ>λ_*. To prove the results, we prove a norm on W^1,p(x)(Ω) without the part of ||_L^p(x)(Ω) which is equivalent to usual one and establish a special strong comparison principle for Robin problem.     

Uniform Kazhdan constant for some families of linear groups

Let R be a ring generated by l elements with stable range r. Assume that the group EL_d(R) has Kazhdan constant ₀>0 for some dr+1. We prove that there exist (₀,l)>0 and , s.t. for every nd, EL_n(R) has a generating set of order k and a Kazhdan constant larger than . As a consequence, we obtain for where n3, a Kazhdan constant which is independent of n w.r.t. generating set of a fixed size.     

Construction of nonseparable dual -wavelet frames in

Suppose and are two pairs of dual M-wavelet frames and N-wavelet frames in and , respectively, where M and N are s₁×s₁ and s₂×s₂ dilation matrices with a₁(|det(M)|-1) and (2a₂+1)(|det(N)|-1). Moreover, their mask symbols both satisfy mixed extension principle (MEP). Based on the mask symbols, a family of nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames in are constructed, where s=s₁+s₂, and with Θ and M^-1Θ both being integer matrices. Then a convolution scheme for improving regularity of wavelet frames is given. From the nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames, nonseparable Ω-wavelet frames with high regularity can be constructed easily. We give an algorithm for constructing nonseparable dual symmetric or antisymmetric wavelet frames in . From the dual Ω-wavelet frames, nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames with symmetry can be obtained easily. In the end, two examples are given.     

Hyperbolic topology of normed linear spaces

In a previous paper [H. Tsuiki, Y. Hattori, Lawson topology of the space of formal balls and the hyperbolic topology of a metric space, Theoret. Comput. Sci. 405 (2008) 198–205], the authors introduced the hyperbolic topology on a metric space, which is weaker than the metric topology and naturally derived from the Lawson topology on the space of formal balls. In this paper, we characterize spaces L_p(Ω,Σ,μ) on which the hyperbolic topology induced by the norm _p coincides with the norm topology. We show the following:

(1) The hyperbolic topology and the norm topology coincide for 1<p<∞.

(2) They coincide on L₁(Ω,Σ,μ) if and only if μ(Ω)=0 or Ω has a finite partition by atoms.

(3) They coincide on L_∞(Ω,Σ,μ) if and only if μ(Ω)=0 or there is an atom in Σ.

Positive solutions for one-dimensional -Laplacian boundary value problems with sign changing nonlinearity

This paper deals with the existence of positive solutions for the one-dimensional p-Laplacian

subject to the boundary value conditions:

where _p(s)=|s|^p−2s,p>1. We show that it has at least one or two positive solutions under some assumptions by applying the fixed point theorem. The interesting points are that the nonlinear term f is involved with the first-order derivative explicitly and f may change sign.     

Nonnegative iterations with asymptotically constant coefficients

Let A_k,k=0,1,2,…, be a sequence of real nonsingular n×n matrices which converge to a nonsingular matrix A. Suppose that A has exactly one positive eigenvalue λ and there exists a unique nonnegative vector u with properties Au=λu and u=1. Under further additional conditions on the spectrum of A, it is shown that if x₀≠0 and the iterates

are nonnegative, then converges to u and converges to λ as k→∞.     

Über ein Turánsches problem für radiale, positiv definite Funktionen, II

Turán's problem is to determine the greatest possible value of the integral for positive definite functions f(x), , supported in a given convex centrally symmetric body , . We consider the problem for positive definite functions of the form f(x)=(x₁), , with supported in [0,π], extending results of our first paper from two to arbitrary dimensions.Our two papers were motivated by investigations of Professor Y. Xu and the 2nd named author on, what they called, ℓ-1 summability of the inverse Fourier integral on . Their investigations gave rise to a pair of transformations (h_d,m_d) on which they studied using special functions, in particular spherical Bessel functions.To study the d-dimensional Turán problem, we had to extend relevant results of B. & X., and we did so using again Bessel functions. These extentions seem to us to be equally interesting as the application to Turán's problem.     

Gradient estimates and Jackson’s theorem in spaces related to measures

Jackson’s theorem is established in a new kind of holomorphic function space Q_μ related to measures in any starlike circular domain in . Particularly, the result covers many spaces including BMOA, Q_p, Q_K, and F(p,q,s) spaces in the unit ball of . Moreover, we construct integral operators which give pointwise estimates for the gradient of the difference in terms of the gradient on the boundary. The gradient estimates are independent of the measures in question and give rise to Jackson’s theorem.

Norm of weighted composition operators from -Bloch spaces to weighted-type spaces

We calculate in an elegant way operator norm of the weighted composition operator from the α-Bloch space, with α(0,∞){1}, to a weighted-type space on the unit ball. This result can be regarded as a complement to our recent result regarding the same problem for the case α=1.     

The topological structure of fuzzy sets with endograph metric

For a non-degenerate convex subset Y of the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rⁿ, let be the family of all fuzzy sets ofRⁿ, which are upper-semicontinuous, fuzzy convex and normal with compact supports contained in Y. We show that the space with the topology of endograph metric is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube Q=[-1,1]^ω iff Y is compact; and the space is homeomorphic to {(x_n)Q:sup|x_n|<1} iff Y is non-compact and locally compact.
