Polynomial approximation of functions with given order of thekth generalized modulus of smoothness

The problem of approximation by algebraic polynomials is considered on function classes characterized by the value of thekth generalized modulus of smoothness defined by the Jacobi generalized shift operator. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 63, No. 3, pp. 425–436, March, 1998.     

On smoothness of a fundamental solution to a second order hyperbolic equation

We consider the problem of constructing a fundamental solution to a second order hyperbolic linear equation with variable coefficients depending on the space variable x ∈ ? ⁿ . Under the assumption of high but finite smoothness of the coefficients, we write out the structure of a fundamental solution, establish smoothness of the coefficients of the expansion of its singular part, and characterize smoothness of the regular part.     

Global existence for second order functional semilinear equations

In this paper we study the global existence of solutions for initial value problems for functional semilinear equations, where the linear operator in the differential equation is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly cosine family in a Banach spaceX. Using the Leray-Schauder Alternative, we derive conditions under which a solution exists globally.     

Uniformly convex subsets of the Hilbert space with modulus of convexity of the second order

We prove that in the Hilbert space every uniformly convex set with modulus of convexity of the second order at zero is an intersection of closed balls of fixed radius. We also obtain an estimate of this radius.

Boundary data smoothness for solutions of nonlocal boundary value problems for second order differential equations

Under certain conditions, solutions of the boundary value problem, y^″=f(x,y,y^′), y(x₁)=y₁, and , are differentiated with respect to boundary conditions, where a<x₁<η₁<?<ηm<x₂<b, r₁,…,rm∈R, and y₁,y₂∈R.     

A modulus of smoothness on the unit sphere

For functions onS ^d−1 (the unit sphere inR ^d) and, in particular, forf∈L _p(S ^d−1), we define new simple moduli of smoothness. We relate different orders of these moduli, and we also relate these moduli to best approximation by spherical harmonics of order smaller thann. Our new moduli lead to sharper results than those now available for the known moduli onL _p(S ^d−1). Supported by NSERC Grant A4816 of Canada.     

Mixed modulus of smoothness with Muckenhoupt weights and approximation by angle

Mixed modulus of smoothness in weighted Lebesgue spaces with Muckenhoupt weights are investigated. Using mixed modulus of smoothness we obtain Potapov type direct and inverse estimates of angular trigonometric approximation of functions in these spaces. Also we obtain equivalences between mixed modulus of smoothness and K-functional and realization functional. Fractional order modulus of smoothness is considered as well.     

Global existence for the one-dimensional second order semilinear hyperbolic equations

The aim of the paper is to study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the global solution of the one-dimensional semilinear equation appearing in the boundary value problems of gas dynamics. We investigate the Cauchy problem for such equation in the domain where the operator is weakly hyperbolic. We obtain the necessary condition for the existence of the self-similar solutions for the semilinear Gellerstedt-type equation. The approach used in the paper is based on the fundamental solution of the linear Gellerstedt operator and the Lp-Lq estimates.     

A modulus of smoothness based on an algebraic addition

Summary The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach to smoothness of nonperiodic functions. We consider the space of continuous functions on [−1, 1] as well as the weighted L^p-space and introduce a modulus of smoothness that is based on an algebraic addition ⊕ defined on [−1, 1]. The present paper is mainly concerned with general properties and groundwork, whereas a second paper [4] is devoted to more complex properties, in particular to an equivalent K-functional and to the characterization of best algebraic approximation. Moreover the equivalence with the Butzer-Stens modulus will be shown there.     

Global pointwise estimates for Green's matrix of second order elliptic systems

We establish global pointwise bounds for the Green's matrix for divergence form, second order elliptic systems in a domain under the assumption that weak solutions of the system vanishing on a portion of the boundary satisfy a certain local boundedness estimate. Moreover, we prove that such a local boundedness estimate for weak solutions of the system is equivalent to the usual global pointwise bound for the Green's matrix. In the scalar case, such an estimate is a consequence of De Giorgi-Moser-Nash theory and holds for equations with bounded measurable coefficients in arbitrary domains. In the vectorial case, one need to impose certain assumptions on the coefficients of the system as well as on domains to obtain such an estimate. We present a unified approach valid for both the scalar and vectorial cases and discuss several applications of our result.     

Embedding theorems for classes of functions with a dominating mixed modulus of smoothness
