Holomorphe Funktionen auf Gebieten über Banach-Räumen zu vorgegebenen Konvergenzradien

Given a function: ₊ on a domain spread over an infinite dimensional complex Banach space E with a Schauder basis such that -log is plurisubharmonic and d (d denotes the boundary distance on ) one can find a holomorphic function f: with _f, where _f is the radius of convergence of f. If, in addition, is locally Lipschitz continuous with constant 1, f can be chosen so that (3M)^–1 _f, where M is the basis constant of E. In the particular case of E= ₁ there are holomorphic functions f on with= _f.     

Time decay for nonlinear wave equations in two space dimensions

The Cauchy Problem for the equation u_tt–u+|u|^p–1u=0 (x², t>0, >1) is studied. Smooth Cauchy data is prescribed, and no smallness condition is imposed. For >5, it is shown that the maximum amplitude of such a wave decays at the expected rate t^–1/2 as t. For 1+8<5, the maximum amplitude still decays, but at a slower rate. These results are then used to demonstrate the existence of the scattering operator when >_o, where _o is the root of the cubic equation ³-2²-7-8=0; thus _o4.15.Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow     

The eigenvalues of the Sinyukov mapping for geodesically equivalent metrics are globally ordered

Suppose all geodesics of two Riemannian metrics g and defined on a (connected, geodesically complete) manifold M ⁿ coincide. At each point x M ⁿ , consider the common eigenvalues ₁, ₂, ... , _n of the two metrics (we assume that _{1 2 n}) and the numbers . We show that the numbers _i are ordered over the entire manifold: for any two points x and y in M the number _k(x) is not greater than _k+1(y). If _k(x)= _k+1(y), then there is a point z M _n such that _k(z)= _k+1(z). If the manifold is closed and all the common eigenvalues of the metrics are pairwise distinct at each point, then the manifold can be covered by the torus.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 3, 2005, pp. 412–423.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by V.

Inequality for second characteristic values of positive operators of certain classes

A homogeneous additive operator A, positive on a cone K of a Banach space E partially ordered by K, is investigated. It is assumed that K is a reproducing cone in E and that A has a characteristic vector u₀: Au₀ = ₀u₀ in K. It is proved that if for some 1, then any other characteristic value of A satisfies the inequality ||<(-1)/(+1) ₀. This is the best possible upper bound in the class of operators considered.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 19,No. 1, pp. 27–33, January, 1971.The author takes this opportunity to thank M.

Global properties of solutions to 1D-viscous compressible barotropic fluid equations with density dependent viscosity

The Navier-Stokes equations for compressible barotropic fluid in 1D with the mass force under zero velocity boundary conditions are studied. We prove the uniform upper and lower bounds for the density as well as the uniform in time L ²()-estimates for _x and u _x (u is the velocity). Moreover, a collection of the decay rate estimates for - (with being the stationary density) and u in ²()-norm and H ¹()-norm as time t are established. The results are given for general state function p() (but mainly monotone) and viscosity coefficient µ() of arbitrarily fast (or slow) growth as well as for the large data.     

Balanced ternary designs with block size three,any Λ and anyR

A balanced ternary design onV elements is a collection ofB blocks (which are multisets) of sizeK, such that each element occurs 0, 1 or 2 times per block andR times altogether, and such that each unordered pair of distinct elements occurs times. (For example, in the blockxxyyz, the pairxy is said to occur four times and the pairsxz, yz twice each.) It is straightforward to show that each element has to occur singly in a constant number of blocks, say ₁, and so each element also occurs twice in a constant number of blocks, say ₂, whereR= ₁+2 ₂. If ₂=0 the design is a balanced incomplete block design (binary design), so we assume ₂>0, andK<2V (corresponding to incompleteness in the binary case). Necessarily >1 if ₂>0 (andK>2).In 1980 and 1982 the author gave necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of balanced ternary designs withK=3, =2 and ₂=1, 2 or 3. In this paper work on the existence of balanced ternary designs with block size three is concluded, in that necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a balanced ternary design withK=3, any >1 and any ₂ are given.     

The Hilbert–Poincaré Series for Some Algebras of Invariants of Cyclic Groups

Let be a linear representation of a finite group over a field of characteristic 0. Further, let R be the corresponding algebra of invariants, and let P (t) be its Hilbert–Poincaré series. Then the series P (t) represents a rational function (t)/(t). If R is a complete intersection, then (t) is a product of cyclotomic polynomials. Here we prove the inverse statement for the case where is an almost regular (in particular, regular) representation of a cyclic group. This yields an answer to a question of R.

Rational Approximation of Analytic Functions Having Generalized Orders of Rate of Growth

Let f be holomorphic on a domain G C¯ and _n be the error in best approximation of f in the supremum norm on a compact set E G by rational functions of order n. We obtain results characterizing the degree of decrease of the best approximation _n in terms connected with the condenser (E,F), F=C¯ \ G¯, and the rate of growth of the maximum modulus of f(z). In particular, if f has a generalized order (, , f) in the domain G, thenlim sup_n (n)/ (log (1/log⁺((_{0 1} ....... _n)^1/n(n+1) ))) (, , f),where = exp (1/C(E,F)), C(E,F) is the capacity of the condenser (E,F).     

Best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel of a biharmonic equation and optimal renewal of the values of operators

For the classB _p , 0 < 1, 1p , of 2-periodic functions of the form f(t)=u(,t), whereu (,t) is a biharmonic function in the unit disk, we obtain the exact values of the best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel K(t) of the convolution f= K *g, gl, with respect to the metric of L₁. We also consider the problem of renewal of the values of the convolution operator by using the information about the values of the boundary functions.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol.47, No. 11, pp. 1549–1557, November, 1995.

The Whitehead Group of the Novikov Ring

The Bass–Heller–Swan–Farrell–Hsiang–Siebenmann decomposition of the Whitehead group K ₁(A[z,z^-1]) of a twisted Laurent polynomial extension A[z,z^-1] of a ring A is generalized to a decomposition of the Whitehead group K ₁(A((z))) of a twisted Novikov ring of power series A((z))=A[[z]][z^-1]. The decomposition involves a summand W₁(A, ) which is an Abelian quotient of the multiplicative group W(A,) of Witt vectors 1+a₁z+a₂z²+ ··· A[[z]]. An example is constructed to show that in general the natural surjection W(A, )^ab W₁(A, ) is not an isomorphism.     

Generalized Lindelöf Finiteness Conditions for the λ-Type of a Subharmonic Function

We establish a finiteness criterion for the -type of a subharmonic function. In the case where (r) = r L(r), , where L is a slowly varying function, this criterion coincides with the Lindelöf criterion.     

Shock fluctuations in the asymmetric simple exclusion process

Summary We consider the one dimensional nearest neighbors asymmetric simple exclusion process with ratesq andp for left and right jumps respectively;q<p. Ferrari et al. (1991) have shown that if the initial measure isv _, , a product measure with densities and to the left and right of the origin respectively, <, then there exists a (microscopic) shock for the system. A shock is a random positionX _t such that the system as seen from this position at timet has asymptotic product distributions with densities and to the left and right of the origin respectively, uniformly int. We compute the diffusion coefficient of the shockD=lim _t t ^–1(E(X _t )²–(EX _t )²) and findD=(p–q)(–)^–1((1–)+(1–)) as conjectured by Spohn (1991). We show that in the scale the position ofX _t is determined by the initial distribution of particles in a region of length proportional tot. We prove that the distribution of the process at the average position of the shock converges to a fair mixture of the product measures with densities and . This is the so called dynamical phase transition. Under shock initial conditions we show how the density fluctuation fields depend on the initial configuration.     

Wave operators in a multistratified strip

One investigates the scattering theory for the positive self-adjoint operatorH=–· acting in with = × and a bounded open set in ^n–1,n2. The real-valued function belongs toL (), is bounded from below byc>0 and there exist real-valued functions ₁ and ₂ inL () such that – _j ,j=1,2 is a short range perturbation of _j when (–1) ^j x _n +. One assumes _j = ^(j) 1_R,j=1,2, with ^(j) L bounded from below byc>0. One proves the existence and completeness of the generalized wave operators _j ^± =s – _j e ^–itHj ,j=1,2, withH _j =–· _j and _j : equal to 1 if (–1) ^j x _n >0 and to 0 if (–1) ^j x _n <0. The ranges ofW _j ^± :=( _j ^± )^* are characterized so that W ₁ ^± =Ran and . The scattering operator can then be defined.

Relationship between the Hadamard Theorem on Three Disks and Certain Problems of Polynomial Approximation of Analytic Functions

By using the classical Hadamard theorem, we obtain an exact (in a certain sense) inequality for the best polynomial approximations of an analytic function f(z) from the Hardy space H _p, p 1, in disks of radii , ₁, and ₂, 0 < ₁ < < ₂ < 1.     

Some Asymptotic Results for the M/M/∞ Queue with Ranked Servers

We consider an M/M/ model with m primary servers and infinitely many secondary ones. An arriving customer takes a primary server, if one is available. We derive integral representations for the joint steady state distribution of the number of occupied primary and secondary servers. Letting =/ be the ratio of arrival and service rates (all servers work at rate ), we study the joint distribution asymptotically for . We consider both m=O(1) and m scaled to be of the same order as . We also give results for the marginal distribution of the number of secondary servers that are occupied.

Commutativity of operators on the lattice of existence varieties

In a previous paper the authors introduced seven complete congruences on the lattice _ev(I of e-varieties of regular semigroups of the form _P :U _P VPU=PV, whereP is drawn from a small set of e-varieties: left zero, right zero, rectangular bands, groups, left groups, right groups and completely simple semigroups. Four new complete congruences are introduced here of the form _P :U _P VPU=PV, whereP is one of the following classes of regular semigroups: left monoids, right monoids, monoids, idempotent generated semigroups. For each complete congruence on _ev(I) and eachU_ev(I), the -class ofU is an interval [U ,U ] so that there is associated with each such congruence an idempotent operatorUU on _ev(I). This paper establishes numerous results concerning the commutativity of operators of this form.This work was supported in part by NSERC Grant 4044.
