Local microcontinuity of nonstandard polynomials

For nonstandard polynomials the monadic concept of microcontinuity is supplemented with a typically polynomial absolute microcontinuity. It is examined how these notions are interrelated, and related to the coefficients and to the standard notion of convergent power series. It is found that (absolute) microcontinuity is a genuine nonstandard concept, either nonexistent or trivial for standard data.     

Structural properties of Dirichlet series with harmonic coefficients

An infinite family of functional equations in the complex plane is obtained for Dirichlet series involving harmonic numbers. Trigonometric series whose coefficients are linear forms with rational coefficients in hyperharmonic numbers up to any order are evaluated via Bernoulli polynomials, Gauss sums, and special values of L-functions subject to the parity obstruction. This in turn leads to new representations of Catalan’s constant, odd values of the Riemann zeta function, and polylogarithmic quantities. Consequently, a dichotomy result is deduced on the transcendentality of Catalan’s constant and a series with hyperharmonic terms. Moreover, making use of integrals of smooth functions, we establish Diophantine-type approximations of real numbers by values of an infinite family of Dirichlet series built from representations of harmonic numbers.     

Equalities for roots of entire functions of order less than two

Entire functions of order less than two are considered. Relations between the series of absolute values, real parts and imaginary parts of the roots are derived. Moreover, bounds for these series are established in terms of the coefficients of the Taylor series. These results are new even for polynomials. Received: 04 February 2005

On the convergence of random polynomials and multilinear forms

We consider different kinds of convergence of homogeneous polynomials and multilinear forms in random variables. We show that for a variety of complex random variables, the almost sure convergence of the polynomial is equivalent to that of the multilinear form, and to the square summability of the coefficients. Also, we present polynomial Khintchine inequalities for complex gaussian and Steinhaus variables. All these results have no analogues in the real case. Moreover, we study the Lp-convergence of random polynomials and derive certain decoupling inequalities without the usual tetrahedral hypothesis. We also consider convergence on “full subspaces” in the sense of Sjögren, both for real and complex random variables, and relate it to domination properties of the polynomial or the multilinear form, establishing a link with the theory of homogeneous polynomials on Banach spaces.     

On the divergence of Fourier series of functions in several variables

The paper deals with the problems of divergence of the series from absolute values of the Fourier coefficients of functions in several variables. It is proved that as the dimension of the space increases, the absolute convergence of Fourier series with respect to any complete orthnormal system (ONS) of functions with continuous partial derivatives becomes worse. For instance, for any ? ∈ (0, 2) there exists a function in variables $k > \frac{{2(2 - \varepsilon )}} {\varepsilon }$ having all the continuous partial derivatives, however the series of absolute values of its coefficients with respect to any complete orthnormal system diverges in power 2 ? ?.     

Construction of iteration functions for the simultaneous computation of the solutions of equations and algebraic systems

We construct iteration functions for the simultaneous computation of the solutions of a system of equations, with local quadratic convergence: they generalize to the multivariate case the well-known Weierstrass function for polynomials, which is expected to be globally convergent except on a zero-measured set of starting points. We clarify these functions using univariate interpolation. Both for polynomials and algebraic systems with real coefficients, we extend the conjecture of global convergence to the research of real roots or solutions.     

Laguerre functions and representations of su(1,1)

Spectral analysis of a certain doubly infinite Jacobi operator leads to orthogonality relations for confluent hypergeometric functions, which are called Laguerre functions. This doubly infinite Jacobi operator corresponds to the action of a parabolic element of the Lie algebra su(l, 1). The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the tensor product representation of a positive and a negative discrete series representation of su(l,l) are determined for the parabolic bases. They turn out to be multiples of Jacobi functions. From the interpretation of Laguerre polynomials and functions as overlap coefficients, we obtain a product formula for the Laguerre polynomials, given by an integral over Laguerre functions, Jacobi functions and continuous dual Hahn polynomials.     

The Degree Of Polynomial Approximation And Interpolation Of Analytic Functions

The rate of best polynomial approximation of an analytic function on a compact Faber set K is characterized in terms of the rate of growth of its Faber coefficients and compared with the rate of approximation by the partial sums of the Faber series. Also the convergence of sequences of interpolating polynomials constructed for various systems of nodes is studied by considering the growth of the interpolated function. Under appropriate assumptions on K the approximation by interpolating polynomials can be incorporated in the characterization theorem. Emphasis is laid on high precision in describing the rate of approximation and on admitting a large class of functions.     

The Mahler problem with nonmonotone right-hand side in the field of complex numbers

In the last twenty years, the exact order of approximation by zeros of the moduli of the values of the integer polynomials in a real and a complex variable was established. However, in the case of convergence of the series consisting of the right-hand sides of inequalities, the monotonicity condition for the right-hand sides in the classical Khintchine theorem can be dropped. It is shown in the present paper that, in the complex case, the monotonicity condition is also insignificant for polynomials of arbitrary degree.     

A general approach to get series solution of non-similarity boundary-layer flows

An analytic method for strongly non-linear problems, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is applied to give convergent series solution of non-similarity boundary-layer flows. As an example, the non-similarity boundary-layer flows over a stretching flat sheet are used to show the validity of this general analytic approach. Without any assumptions of small/large quantities, the corresponding non-linear partial differential equation with variable coefficients is transferred into an infinite number of linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients. More importantly, an auxiliary artificial parameter is used to ensure the convergence of the series solution. Different from previous analytic results, our series solutions are convergent and valid for all physical variables in the whole domain of flows. This work illustrates that, by means of the homotopy analysis method, the non-similarity boundary-layer flows can be solved in a similar way like similarity boundary-layer flows. Mathematically, this analytic approach is rather general in principle and can be applied to solve different types of non-linear partial differential equations with variable coefficients in science and engineering.     

First and higher order uniform dual ergodic theorems for dynamical systems with infinite measure

We generalize the proof of Karamata’s Theorem by the method of approximation by polynomials to the operator case. As a consequence, we offer a simple proof of uniform dual ergodicity for a very large class of dynamical systems with infinite measure, and we obtain bounds on the convergence rate. In many cases of interest, including the Pomeau-Manneville family of intermittency maps, the estimates obtained through real Tauberian remainder theory are very weak. Building on the techniques of complex Tauberian remainder theory, we develop a method that provides second (and higher) order asymptotics. In the process, we derive a higher order Tauberian theorem for scalar power series which, to our knowledge, has not previously been covered.     

A note on the polynomial solution of a class of dual integral equations arising in mixed boundary value problems of elasticity

Summary The present paper is concerned with finding an effective polynomial solution to a class of dual integral equations which arise in many mixed boundary value problems in the theory of elasticity. The dual integral equations are first transformed into a Fredholm integration equation of the second kind via an auxiliary function, which is next reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations by representing the unknown auxiliary function in the form of an infinite series of Jacobi polynomials. The approximate solution of this infinite system of equations can be obtained by a suitable truncation. It is shown that the unknown function involving the dual integral equations can also be expressed in the form of an infinite series of Jacobi polynomials with the same expansion coefficients with no numerical integration involved. The main advantage of the present approach is that the solution of the dual integral equations thus obtained is numerically more stable than that obtained by reducing themdirectly into an infinite system of equations, insofar as the expansion coefficients are determined essentially by solving asecond kind integral equation.     

Acceleration of the convergence of the Laguerre series in the problem of inverting the Laplace transform

When the Laplace transform is inverted numerically, the original function is sought in the form of a series in the Laguerre polynomials. To accelerate the convergence of this series, the Euler-Knopp method is used. The techniques for selecting the optimal value of the parameter of the transform on the real axis and in the complex plane are proposed.     

Applications of?the Cosecant and Related Numbers

Power series expansions for cosecant and related functions together with a vast number of applications stemming from their coefficients are derived here. The coefficients for the cosecant expansion can be evaluated by using: (1) numerous recurrence relations, (2) expressions resulting from the application of the partition method for obtaining a power series expansion and (3) the result given in Theorem 3. Unlike the related Bernoulli numbers, these rational coefficients, which are called the cosecant numbers and are denoted by c _k , converge rapidly to zero as k????. It is then shown how recent advances in obtaining meaningful values from divergent series can be modified to determine exact numerical results from the asymptotic series derived from the Laplace transform of the power series expansion for tcsc?(at). Next the power series expansion for secant is derived in terms of related coefficients known as the secant numbers d _k . These numbers are related to the Euler numbers and can also be evaluated by numerous recurrence relations, some of which involve the cosecant numbers. The approaches used to obtain the power series expansions for these fundamental trigonometric functions in addition to the methods used to evaluate their coefficients are employed in the derivation of power series expansions for integer powers and arbitrary powers of the trigonometric functions. Recurrence relations are of limited benefit when evaluating the coefficients in the case of arbitrary powers. Consequently, power series expansions for the Legendre-Jacobi elliptic integrals can only be obtained by the partition method for a power series expansion. Since the Bernoulli and Euler numbers give rise to polynomials from exponential generating functions, it is shown that the cosecant and secant numbers gives rise to their own polynomials from trigonometric generating functions. As expected, the new polynomials are related to the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, but they are found to possess far more interesting properties, primarily due to the convergence of the coefficients. One interesting application of the new polynomials is the re-interpretation of the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, which yields a new regularisation formula.     

Pointwise Behavior of Double Fourier Series of Functions of Bounded Variation

We extend some recent results of S. A. Telyakovskii on the uniform boundedness of the partial sums of Fourier series of functions of bounded variation to periodic functions of two variables, which are of bounded variation in the sense of Hardy. As corollaries, we obtain the classical Parseval formula, the convergence theorem of the series involving the sine Fourier coefficients, and a lower estimate of the best approximation by trigonometric polynomials in the metric of L in a sharpened version.     

Real Factorization of Multivariate Polynomials with Integer Coefficients

In the recent papers, a new efficient probabilistic semi-numerical absolute (i.e., complex) factorization algorithm for multivariate polynomials with integer coefficients is given. It is based on a simple property of the monomials arising after a generic linear change of coordinates for bivariate polynomials and on a deep result of complex algebraic geometry. Here, we consider the a priori simpler problem of factorization over the field of reals. We briefly review our algorithm for complex factorization and adapt it to solving the problem on the field of reals. This allows us to spare a significant part of the computations and to improve the range of tractability. The method provides factors with approximative coefficients and eventually exact factors in a suitable real algebraic extension of . Bibliography: 15 titles.

Finite convergence over a field of power series

In this paper, we define an analog of power series functions over R, when R is replaced by K = k((x))^τ , a field of generalized power series with coefficients in an ordered field k and exponents in an ordered abelian group τ. To this end for any power series S(Y)ε K[[Y]] and any y ε K, we define a notion of convergence of S(y). Thus to any power series S(Y) is associated a partial function S : K→ K. We show that these partial functions have a lot of similarities with analytic functions over R. Then we prove properties of zeros of such functions which extend properties of roots of polynomials over k((x))^τ.     

Explicit Solution of the (Quantum) Elliptic Calogero–Sutherland Model

The elliptic Calogero–Sutherland model is a quantum many body system of identical particles moving on a circle and interacting via two body potentials proportional to the Weierstrass ${\wp}$ -function. It also provides a natural many-variable generalization of the Lamé equation. Explicit formulas for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of this model as infinite series are obtained, to all orders and for arbitrary particle numbers and coupling parameters. These eigenfunctions are an elliptic deformation of the Jack polynomials. The absolute convergence of these series is proved in special cases, including the two-particle (=Lamé) case for non-integer coupling parameters and sufficiently small elliptic deformation.
