Bounds on Supremum Norms for Hecke Eigenfunctions of Quantized Cat Maps

We study extreme values of desymmetrized eigenfunctions (so called Hecke eigenfunctions) for the quantized cat map, a quantization of a hyperbolic linear map of the torus. In a previous paper it was shown that for prime values of the inverse Planck’s constant N = 1/h, such that the map is diagonalizable (but not upper triangular) modulo N, the Hecke eigenfunctions are uniformly bounded. The purpose of this paper is to show that the same holds for any prime N provided that the map is not upper triangular modulo N. We also find that the supremum norms of Hecke eigenfunctions are ≪_ε N^ε for all ε > 0 in the case of N square free. Submitted: March 6, 2006; Accepted: April 30, 2006

Logarithmic Norms and Nonlinear DAE Stability

Logarithmic norms are often used to estimate stability and perturbation bounds in linear ODEs. Extensions to other classes of problems such as nonlinear dynamics, DAEs and PDEs require careful modifications of the logarithmic norm. With a conceptual focus, we combine the extension to nonlinear ODEs [15] with that of matrix pencils [10] in order to treat nonlinear DAEs with a view to cover certain unbounded operators, i.e. partial differential algebraic equations. Perturbation bounds are obtained from differential inequalities for any given norm by using the relation between Dini derivatives and semi-inner products. Simple discretizations are also considered.

The Logarithmic Asymptotic Expansions for the Norms of Evaluation Functionals

Let μ be a compactly supported finite Borel measure in ℂ, and let Π_n be the space of holomorphic polynomials of degree at most n furnished with the norm of L ²(μ). We study the logarithmic asymptotic expansions of the norms of the evaluation functionals that relate to polynomials p ∈ Π_n their values at a point z ∈ ℂ. The main results demonstrate how the asymptotic behavior depends on regularity of the complement of the support of μ and the Stahl-Totik regularity of the measure. In particular, we study the cases of pointwise and μ-a.e. convergence as n → ∞.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 Dovgoshei A.

Convexity Conditions for Generalized Riemann Derivable Functions

Several convexity theorems for generalized Riemann derivative are obtained. A generalized symmetric derivative is introduced which includes the usual symmetric Riemann derivative and with the help of this generalized symmetric derivative several other convexity theorems are established. A partial answer to a conjecture of Butzer and Kozakiewicz is given.

The Convexity and the Gaussian Curvature Estimates for the Level Sets of Harmonic Functions on Convex Rings in Space Forms

In this paper, we first establish a constant rank theorem for the second fundamental form of the convex level sets of harmonic functions in space forms. Applying the deformation process, we prove that the level sets of the harmonic functions on convex rings in space forms are strictly convex. Moreover, we give a lower bound for the Gaussian curvature of the convex level sets of harmonic functions in terms of the Gaussian curvature of the boundary and the norm of the gradient on the boundary.     

Coincidence of Harmonic and Finely Harmonic Functions

This paper answers an old question of Fuglede by characterising those finely open sets U with the following property: any finely harmonic function on U must coincide with a harmonic function on some non-empty finely open subset.     

Liouville Theorems for Generalized Harmonic Functions

Each nonzero solution of the stationary Schrödinger equation u(x)–c(r)u(x)=0 in R ⁿ with a nonnegative radial potential c(r) must have certain minimal growth at infinity. If r ² c(r)=O(1), r, then a solution having power growth at infinity, is a generalized harmonic polynomial.     

Spaces of Harmonic Functions

It is important and interesting to study harmonic functionson a Riemannian manifold. In an earlier work of Li and Tam [21]it was demonstrated that the dimensions of various spaces ofbounded and positive harmonic functions are closely relatedto the number of ends of a manifold. For the linear space consistingof all harmonic functions of polynomial growth of degree atmost d on a complete Riemannian manifold Mⁿ of dimension n,denoted by H_d(Mⁿ), it was proved by Li and Tam [20] that thedimension of the space H₁(M) always satisfies dimH₁(M) dimH₁(Rⁿ)when M has non-negative Ricci curvature. They went on to askas a refinement of a conjecture of Yau [32] whether in generaldim H_d(Mⁿ) dimH_d(Rⁿ)for all d. Colding and Minicozzi made animportant contribution to this question in a sequence of papers[5–11] by showing among other things that dimH_d(M) isfinite when M has non-negative Ricci curvature. On the otherhand, in a very remarkable paper [16], Li produced an elegantand powerful argument to prove the following. Recall that Msatisfies a weak volume growth condition if, for some constantA and , (1.1) for all x M and r R, where V_x(r) is the volume of the geodesicball B_x(r) in M; M has mean value property if there exists aconstant B such that, for any non-negative subharmonic functionf on M, (1.2) for all p M and r > 0.     

Sets of Harmonicity for Finely Harmonic Functions

Given an open set U in R ⁿ (n3) and a dense open subset V of U, it is shown that there is a finely harmonic function u on U such that V is the largest open subset of U on which u is harmonic. This result, which establishes the sharpness of a theorem of Fuglede, is obtained following a consideration of fine cluster sets of arbitrary functions.     

Schur Convexity for Two Classes of Symmetric Functions and Their Applications

For x =(x1, x2, ···, xn) ∈ Rn+∪ Rn-, the symmetric functions Fn(x, r) and Gn(x, r) are defined by r1 + xFij n(x, r) = Fn(x1, x2, ···, xn; r) =x1≤iij1i2···ir ≤n j=1and r1- xGij n(x, r) = Gn(x1, x2, ···, xn; r) =,x1≤i1i2···ir ≤n j=1ij respectively, where r = 1, 2, ···, n, and i1, i2, ···, in are positive integers. In this paper,the Schur convexity of Fn(x, r) and Gn(x, r) are discussed. As applications, by a bijective transformation of independent variable for a Schur convex function, the authors obtain Schur convexity for some other symmetric functions, which subsumes the main results in recent literature; and by use of the theory of majorization establish some inequalities. In particular, the authors derive from the results of this paper the Weierstrass inequalities and the Ky Fan's inequality, and give a generalization of Safta's conjecture in the n-dimensional space and others.
