On the q -Convolution on the Line

The investigation of a q -analogue of the convolution on the line, started in conjunction with Koornwinder, is continued, with special attention to the approximation of functions by means of the convolution. A new space of functions that forms an increasing chain of algebras (with respect to the q -convolution), depending on a parameter s>0 , is constructed. For a special value of the parameter the corresponding algebra is commutative and unital, and is shown to be the quotient of an algebra studied in a previous paper modulo the kernel of a q -analogue of the Fourier transform. This result has an analytic interpretation in terms of analytic functions, whose q -moments have a (fast) decreasing behavior and allows the extension of Koornwinder's inversion formula for the q -Fourier transform. A few results on the invertibility of functions with respect to the q -convolution are also obtained and they are applied to the solution of certain simple linear q -difference equations with polynomial coefficients.

Limit Property for Regular and Weak Generalized Convolution

We denote by ? \((\mathcal{P_{+}})\) the set of all probability measures defined on the Borel subsets of the real line (the positive half-line [0,∞)). K. Urbanik defined the generalized convolution as a commutative and associative ?₊-valued binary operation ? on ? ₊ ² which is continuous in each variable separately. This convolution is distributive with respect to convex combinations and scale changes T _a (a>0) with δ ₀ as the unit element. The key axiom of a generalized convolution is the following: there exist norming constants c _n and a measure ν other than δ ₀ such that \(T_{c_{n}}\delta_{1}^{\bullet n}\to\nu\).In Sect. 2 we discuss basic properties of the generalized convolution on ? which hold for the convolutions without the key axiom. This rather technical discussion is important for the weak generalized convolution where the key axiom is not a natural assumption. In Sect. 4 we show that if the weak generalized convolution defined by a weakly stable measure μ has this property, then μ is a factor of strictly stable distribution.     

On generalized Christoffel functions

The generalized Christoffel function λ _p,q,n (dμ;x) (0<p<∞, 0≦q<∞) with respect to a measure dμ on R is defined by

$\lambda_{p,q,n}(d\mu;x)=\inf_{Q\in\mathbf{P}_{n-1},\ Q(x)=1}\int_{\mathbf{R}} \big|Q(t)\big|^p {|t-x|}^q\, d\mu(t).$

The novelty of our definition is that it contains the factor |t?x| ^q , which is of particular interest. Its properties are discussed and estimates are given. In particular, upper and lower bounds for generalized Christoffel functions with respect to generalized Jacobi weights are also provided.

     

L q theory for a generalized Stokes System

Regularity properties of solutions to the stationary generalized Stokes system are studied. The extra stress tensor is assumed to have a growth given by some N-function, which includes the situation of p-growth. We show results about differentiability of weak solutions. As a consequence we obtain the gradient L ^q estimates for the problem. These estimates are applied to the stationary generalized Navier Stokes equations.     

On the finite Mellin transform in quantum calculus and application

The aim of the present paper is to introduce and study a new type of q-Mellin transform [11], that will be called q-finite Mellin transform. In particular, we prove for this new transform an inversion formula and q-convolution product. The application of this transform is also earlier proposed in solving procedure for a new equation with a new fractional differential operator of a variational type.     

General linear methods for Volterra integral equations

We investigate the class of general linear methods of order p and stage order q=p for the numerical solution of Volterra integral equations of the second kind. Construction of highly stable methods based on the Schur criterion is described and examples of methods of order one and two which have good stability properties with respect to the basic test equation and the convolution one are given.     

A limit theorem for truncated measures in generalized convolution algebras

Carrying over a result of Kuelbs and Ledoux, we show that in generalized convolution algebras as introduced by Urbanik, domains of attraction of stable measures go over, after suitable truncation and renormalization, into domains of attraction of the characteristic measure of the convolution algebra. For convolutions which are induced by a (deterministic) semigroup operation, only the “large” terms are responsible for convergence to the stable law.

Representation of certain infinitely divisible probability measures on Banach spaces

Subclasses L₀ ? L₁ ? … ? L_∞ of the class L₀ of self-decomposable probability measures on a Banach space are defined by means of certain stability conditions. Each of these classes is closed under translation, convolution and passage to weak limits. These subclasses are analogous to those defined earlier by K. Urbanik on the real line and studied in that context by him and by the authors. A representation is given for the characteristic functionals of the measures in each of these classes on conjugate Banach spaces. On a Hilbert space it is shown that L_∞ is the smallest subclass of L₀ with the closure properties above containing all the stable measures.     

A weak type inequality for generalized maximal operators on spaces of homogeneous type

A condition is given for a certain generalized maximal operator to be of weak type (ps, qs), where 1≤p≤q<∞, 1≤s<∞. This operator unifies various results about the Poisson integral operators cited in the literature.     

The generalized q-Pilbert matrix

A generalized q-Pilbert matrix from[KILIÇ, E.-PRODINGER, H.: The q-Pilbert matrix, Int. J. Comput. Math. 89 (2012), 1370–1377] is further generalized, introducing one additional parameter. Explicit formulæ are derived for the LU-decomposition and their inverses, as well as the Cholesky decomposition. The approach is to use q-analysis and to leave the justification of the necessary identities to the q-version of Zeilberger’s celebrated algorithm. However, the necessary identities have appeared already in disguised form in the paper referred above, so that no new computations are necessary.     

The generalized entropic property for a pair of operations

In this paper a generalized entropic property is defined for a pair of operations. We show that for an idempotent algebra A = (A, f, g) with two ternary operations, if one of f or g is commutative and the pair of operations (f, g) satisfies the generalized entropic property, then (f, g) is entropic. Also, it is proved that every idempotent, commutative algebra A = (A, f, g) with a ternary and a binary operation, satisfying the generalized entropic property, is entropic.     

Bent and generalized bent Boolean functions

In this paper, we investigate the properties of generalized bent functions defined on ${\mathbb{Z}_2^n}$ with values in ${\mathbb{Z}_q}$ , where q ≥ 2 is any positive integer. We characterize the class of generalized bent functions symmetric with respect to two variables, provide analogues of Maiorana–McFarland type bent functions and Dillon’s functions in the generalized set up. A class of bent functions called generalized spreads is introduced and we show that it contains all Dillon type generalized bent functions and Maiorana–McFarland type generalized bent functions. Thus, unification of two different types of generalized bent functions is achieved. The crosscorrelation spectrum of generalized Dillon type bent functions is also characterized. We further characterize generalized bent Boolean functions defined on ${\mathbb{Z}_2^n}$ with values in ${\mathbb{Z}_4}$ and ${\mathbb{Z}_8}$ . Moreover, we propose several constructions of such generalized bent functions for both n even and n odd.     

Natural Volterra Runge-Kutta methods

A very general class of Runge-Kutta methods for Volterra integral equations of the second kind is analyzed. Order and stage order conditions are derived for methods of order p and stage order q = p up to the order four. We also investigate stability properties of these methods with respect to the basic and the convolution test equations. The systematic search for A- and V ₀-stable methods is described and examples of highly stable methods are presented up to the order p = 4 and stage order q = 4.     

Normed rings generated by generalized convolutions

Normed rings are considered that are generated by the generalized shift operation that occurs in the study of the analytic properties of Urbanik algebras. Possible applications are illustrated by the example of a counterpart of the classical criterion of positive definiteness and by an inversion formula for generalized characteristic functions of Urbanik.Translated from Problemy Ustoichivosti Stokhasticheskikh Modelei — Trudy Seminara, pp. 12–18, 1980.The author expresses his sincere gratitude to A.

The q-cosine Fourier transform and the q-heat equation

The aim of this work is to establish in great detail The q-Fourier analysis related to the q-cosine. The wise reader will note that the considered q-cosine coincides with the one given by T.H.?Koornwinder and S.F.?Swarttouw. Through the q-cosine product formula, we define and analyze the properties of the q-even translation and the q-convolution. Adopting the Titchmarsh approach, we study the q-cosine Fourier transform and its inverse formula. The second theme of this paper is an application of the q-Fourier analysis developed earlier. We extend the heat representation theory inaugurated by P.C.?Rosenbloom and D.V.?Widder to the q-analogue. We construct the q-solution source, the q-heat polynomials and solve the q-analytic Cauchy problem.     

The generalized Lilbert matrix

We introduce a generalized Lilbert [Lucas-Hilbert] matrix. Explicit formulæ are derived for the LU-decomposition and their inverses, as well as the Cholesky decomposition. The approach is to use q-analysis and to leave the justification of the necessary identities to the q-version of Zeilberger’s celebrated algorithm.     

Invariants of finite groups generated by generalized transvections in the modular case

We investigate the invariant rings of two classes of finite groups G ≤ GL(n, F _q) which are generated by a number of generalized transvections with an invariant subspace H over a finite field F _q in the modular case. We name these groups generalized transvection groups. One class is concerned with a given invariant subspace which involves roots of unity. Constructing quotient groups and tensors, we deduce the invariant rings and study their Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein properties. The other is concerned with different invariant subspaces which have the same dimension. We provide a explicit classification of these groups and calculate their invariant rings.     

Approximation properties for generalized q-Bernstein polynomials

In this paper, we introduce the generalized q-Bernstein polynomials based on the q-integers and we study approximation properties of these operators. In special case, we obtain Stancu operators or Phillips polynomials.
