A new type of approximation for the radical quintic functional equation in non-Archimedean (2,β)-Banach spaces

Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the set of real numbers. In this paper, we first introduce the notions of non-Archimedean $(2,\beta )$-normed spaces $(X,{6?,?6}_{?,\beta })$ and we will reformulate the fixed point theorem [10, Theorem 1] in this space, after it, we introduce and solve the radical quintic functional equation

$f\left(\sqrt[5]{x^5+y^5}\right)=f(x)+f(y),x,y\in \mathbb{R}.$

Also, under some weak natural assumptions on the function $\gamma :\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}\times X\to [0,\infty )$, we show that this theorem is a very efficient and convenient tool for proving the hyperstability results when $f:\mathbb{R}\to X$ satisfy the following radical quintic inequality

${6f\left(\sqrt[5]{x^5+y^5}\right)?f(x)?f(y),z6}_{?,\beta }\le \gamma (x,y,z),x,y\in \mathbb{R}?\{0\},z\in X,$

with $x\ne ?y$.     

Some asymptotic properties of discrete means

In part 1, given n different ways of averaging n positive numbers, we iterate the resulting map in $(0,\infty {)}^n$. We prove convergence toward the diagonal, with rate estimates under smoothness assumptions. In part 2, we consider the elementary symmetric means of order p applied to the values $a_i=a(i/n),1⩽i⩽n$, of a given continuous positive function a on the normalized interval $[0,1]$ and we let $p=f(n)$. When ${\lim }_{n\to \infty }f(n)/n=0$, we prove that it admits a limit as $n\to \infty$, called the f-mean of a, which moreover coincides with ${\int }_0^{1}a(x)\mathrm{d}x$ whenever $f(n)=o(\log n)$. We record similar, quite immediate, results on the geometric side $p=n-f(n)$.     

On functors preserving skeletal maps and skeletally generated compacta

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is skeletal if the preimage $f^{?1}(A)$ of each nowhere dense subset $A?Y$ is nowhere dense in X. We prove that a normal functor $F:\mathbf{Comp}\to \mathbf{Comp}$ is skeletal (which means that F preserves skeletal epimorphisms) if and only if for any open surjective map $f:X\to Y$ between metrizable zero-dimensional compacta with two-element non-degeneracy set $N^f=\{x\in X:|f^{?1}(f(x))|>1\}$ the map $Ff:FX\to FY$ is skeletal. This characterization implies that each open normal functor is skeletal. The converse is not true even for normal functors of finite degree. The other main result of the paper says that each normal functor $F:\mathbf{Comp}\to \mathbf{Comp}$ preserves the class of skeletally generated compacta. This contrasts with the known ??epin?s result saying that a normal functor is open if and only if it preserves the class of openly generated compacta.     

Bi-Sobolev mappings and Kp-distortions in the plane

In this paper we introduce the class of the inner p-quasiconformal mappings, that are homeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{D}\stackrel{onto}{?}\mathbb{D}$, $f\in W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,1}(\mathbb{D};\mathbb{D})$, where $\mathbb{D}?{\mathbb{R}}^2$ is the unit disk, such that there exists a constant ${\mathbb{K}}_p\ge 0$ for which the following distortion inequality

$|Df(x){|}^p\le {\mathbb{K}}_p|J_f(x){|}^{p?1}\text{a.e.}x\in \mathbb{D}$

is satisfied. The study of such mappings is motivated by the fact that their inverses satisfy the distortion inequality introduced in [11]. Here we give a characterization of them so that their components solve a suitable uniformly elliptic p-harmonic system. Moreover, for mappings satisfying the previous distortion inequality with ${\mathbb{K}}_p={\mathbb{K}}_{p,f}(x)$ not necessarily constant, we identify the homeomorphism f whose p-distortion function ${\mathbb{K}}_{p,f}(x)$ is minimal in $L^1$ norm.     

Compact embedding results of Sobolev spaces and existence of positive solutions to quasilinear equations

In this paper, we study mainly the existence of multiple positive solutions for a quasilinear elliptic equation of the following form on ${\mathbf{R}}^N$, when $N\ge 2$,

(0.1)$?{\mathrm{\Delta }}_{N}u+V(x){\left|u\right|}^{N?2}u=\lambda {\left|u\right|}^{r?2}u+f(x,u).$

Here, $V(x)>0:{\mathbf{R}}^N\to \mathbf{R}$ is a suitable potential function, $r\in (1,N)$, $f(x,u)$ is a continuous function of N-superlinear and subcritical exponential growth without having the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition, while $\lambda >0$ is a constant. A suitable Moser–Trudinger inequality and the compact embedding $W_{\mathrm{V}}^{1,N}\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)?L^r\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)$ are proved to study problem (0.1). Moreover, the compact embedding $H_{\mathrm{V}}^1\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)?L_{\mathrm{K}}^t\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)$ is also analyzed to investigate the existence of a positive ground state to the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation

(0.2)$?\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(x)u=K(x)g(u)$

with potentials vanishing at infinity in a measure-theoretic sense when $N\ge 3$.     

A lower bound for on-line ranking number of a path

A k-ranking of a graph G is a mapping $\varphi :V(G)\to \{1,\dots ,k\}$ such that any path with endvertices x and y satisfying $x\ne y$ and $\varphi (x)=\varphi (y)$ contains a vertex z with $\varphi (z)>\varphi (x)$. The ranking number ${\chi }_{\mathrm{r}}(G)$ of G is the minimum k admitting a k-ranking of G. The on-line ranking number ${\chi }_{\mathrm{r}}^{*}(G)$ of G is the corresponding on-line invariant; in that case vertices of G are coming one by one so that a partial ranking has to be chosen by considering only the structure of the subgraph of G induced by the present vertices. It is known that $\lfloor {\log }_{2}n\rfloor +1={\chi }_{\mathrm{r}}(P_n)⩽{\chi }_{\mathrm{r}}^{*}(P_n)⩽2\lfloor {\log }_{2}n\rfloor +1$. In this paper it is proved that ${\chi }_{\mathrm{r}}^{*}(P_n)>1.619{\log }_{2}n-1$.     

Majoration of the dimension of the space of concatenated solutions to a specific pantograph equation

For each $\lambda \in {\mathbb{N}}^{?}$, we consider the integral equation:

$\underset{\lambda y}{\overset{\lambda x}{\int }}f(t)\mathrm{d}t=f(x)?f(y)\text{ for every }(x,y)\in {\mathbb{R}}_{+}^2\text{,}$

where f is the concatenation of two continuous functions $f_a,f_b:[0,\lambda ]\to \mathbb{R}$ along a word $u=u_0{u}_1?\in {\{a,b\}}^{\mathbb{N}}$ such that $u=\sigma (u)$, where σ is a λ-uniform substitution satisfying some combinatorial conditions.There exists some non-trivial solutions ([1]). We show in this work that the dimension of the set of solutions is at most two.     

A note on stronger forms of sensitivity for dynamical systems

Let (X,d) be a compact metric space and (κ(X),d_H) be the space of all non-empty compact subsets of X equipped with the Hausdorff metric d_H. The dynamical system (X,f) induces another dynamical system $(\kappa (X)\text{,}\overline{f})$, where f:X → X is a continuous map and $\overline{f}:\kappa (X)\to \kappa (X)$ is defined by $\overline{f}(A)=\{f(a):a\in A\}$ for any A ∈ κ(X). In this paper, we introduce the notion of ergodic sensitivity which is a stronger form of sensitivity, and present some sufficient conditions for a dynamical system (X,f) to be ergodically sensitive. Also, it is shown that $\overline{f}$ is syndetically sensitive (resp. multi-sensitive) if and only if f is syndetically sensitive (resp. multi-sensitive). As applications of our results, several examples are given. In particular, it is shown that if a continuous map of a compact metric space is chaotic in the sense of Devaney, then it is ergodically sensitive. Our results improve and extend some existing ones.     

Large deviations of kernel density estimator in L1(Rd) for uniformly ergodic Markov processes

In this paper, we consider a uniformly ergodic Markov process $(X_n{)}_{n⩾0}$ valued in a measurable subset E of ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ with the unique invariant measure $\mu (\mathrm{d}x)=f(x)\mathrm{d}x$, where the density f is unknown. We establish the large deviation estimations for the nonparametric kernel density estimator $f_n^{*}$ in $L^1({\mathbb{R}}^d,\mathrm{d}x)$ and for $6f_n^{*}-f{6}_{L^1({\mathbb{R}}^d,\mathrm{d}x)}$, and the asymptotic optimality $f_n^{*}$ in the Bahadur sense. These generalize the known results in the i.i.d. case.
