Additively spectral-radius preserving surjections between unital semisimple commutative Banach algebras

Let A and B be unital, semisimple commutative Banach algebras with the maximal ideal spaces M _A and M _B , respectively, and let r(a) be the spectral radius of a. We show that if T: A → B is a surjective mapping, not assumed to be linear, satisfying r(T(a) + T(b)) = r(a + b) for all a; b ∈ A, then there exist a homeomorphism φ: M _B → M _A and a closed and open subset K of M _B such that

A note on the Hoffman-Wielandt theorem for generalized eigenvalue problems

Let {A, B} and {C, D} be diagonalizable pairs of order n, i.e., there exist invertible matrices P, Q and X, Ysuchthat A = P∧Q, B = PΩQ, C =XГY, D= X△Y, where

Convergence rates of the LIL for random fields in Hilbert spaces

Considering the positive d-dimensional lattice point Z ₊ ^d (d ≥ 2) with partial ordering ≤, let {X _k: k ∈ Z ₊ ^d } be i.i.d. random variables taking values in a real separable Hilbert space (H, ‖ · ‖) with mean zero and covariance operator Σ, and set $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } $ S_n = \sum\limits_{k \leqslant n} {X_k } , n ∈ Z ₊ ^d . Let σ _i ², i ≥ 1, be the eigenvalues of Σ arranged in the non-increasing order and taking into account the multiplicities. Let l be the dimension of the corresponding eigenspace, and denote the largest eigenvalue of Σ by σ ². Let logx = ln(x ∨ e), x ≥ 0. This paper studies the convergence rates for $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) $ \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}} P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2\left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} } \right) . We show that when l ≥ 2 and b > −l/2, E[‖X‖²(log ‖X‖) ^d−2(log log ‖X‖) ^b+4] < ∞ implies $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ \begin{gathered} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow \sqrt {d - 1} } (\varepsilon ^2 - d + 1)^{b + l/2} \sum\limits_n {\frac{{\left( {\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)^b }} {{\left| n \right|\log \left| n \right|}}P\left( {\left\| {S_n } \right\| \geqslant \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt 2 \left| n \right|\log \log \left| n \right|} \right)} \hfill \\ = \frac{{K(\Sigma )(d - 1)^{\frac{{l - 2}} {2}} \Gamma (b + l/2)}} {{\Gamma (l/2)(d - 1)!}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} , where Γ(·) is the Gamma function and $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } $ \prod\limits_{i = l + 1}^\infty {((\sigma ^2 - \sigma _i^2 )/\sigma ^2 )^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } .     

The formula for the number of order-preserving selfmappings of a fence

LetY be a fence of sizem andr=?m?1/2?. The numberb(m) of order-preserving selfmappings ofY is equal toA _r-B_r-C_r-D_r, where, ifm is odd, $$\begin{gathered} A_r = 2(r + 1)\sum\limits_{s = 0}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ {2s} \\ \end{array} } \right)} 4^s , B_r = 2r\sum\limits_{s = 1}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right),} \hfill \\ C_r = 4r\sum\limits_{s = 0}^{r - 1} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right), D_r = \sum\limits_{s = 0}^{r - 1} {(2s + 1)} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . Ifm is even, a similar formula forb(m) is true. The key trick in the proof is a one-to-one correspondence between order-preserving selfmappings ofY and pairs consisted of a partition ofY and a strictly increasing mapping of a subfence ofY toY.     

Profile of Blow-up Solution to Hyperbolic System with Nonlocal Term

This paper is concerned with a nonlocal hyperbolic system as follows utt = △u ＋ （∫Ωvdx ）^p for x∈R^N,t〉0 ,utt = △u ＋ （∫Ωvdx ）^q for x∈R^N,t〉0 ,u（x,0）=u0（x）,ut（x,0）=u01（x） for x∈R^N,u（x,0）=u0（x）,ut（x,0）=u01（x） for x∈R^N, where 1≤ N ≤3, p ≥1, q ≥ 1 and pq 〉 1. Here the initial values are compactly supported and Ω belong to R^N is a bounded open region. The blow-up curve, blow-up rate and profile of the solution are discussed.     

An Inverse Spectral Problem for a Nonsymmetric Differential Operator: Uniqueness and Reconstruction Formula

We consider an eigenvalue problem for a system on [0, 1]: $$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}l} {\left[ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \\ \end{array} } \right)\frac{{\text{d}}} {{{\text{d}}x}} + \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {p_{11} (x)} & {p_{12} (x)} \\ {p_{21} (x)} & {p_{22} (x)} \\ \end{array} } \right)} \right]\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\varphi ^{(1)} (x)} \\ {\varphi ^{(2)} (x)} \\ \end{array} } \right) = \lambda \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\varphi ^{(1)} (x)} \\ {\varphi ^{(1)} (x)} \\ \end{array} } \right)} \\ {\varphi ^{(2)} (0)\cosh \mu - \varphi ^{(1)} (0)\sinh \mu = \varphi ^{(2)} (1)\cosh \nu + \varphi ^{(1)} (1)\sinh \nu = 0} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ with constants $$\mu ,\nu \in \mathbb{C}.$$ Under the assumption that p₂₁, p₂₂ are known, we prove a uniqueness theorem and provide a reconstruction formula for p₁₁ and p₁₂ from the spectral characteristics consisting of one spectrum and the associated norming constants.     

Some integral inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial

If P(z) is a polynomial of degree n which does not vanish in |z| 1,then it is recently proved by Rather [Jour.Ineq.Pure and Appl.Math.,9 (2008),Issue 4,Art.103] that for every γ 0 and every real or complex number α with |α|≥ 1,{∫02π |D α P(e iθ)| γ dθ}1/γ≤ n(|α| + 1)C γ{∫02π|P(eiθ)| γ dθ}1/γ,C γ ={1/2π∫0 2π|1+eiβ|γdβ}-1/γ,where D α P(z) denotes the polar derivative of P(z) with respect to α.In this paper we prove a result which not only provides a refinement of the above inequality but also gives a result of Aziz and Dawood [J.Approx.Theory,54 (1988),306-313] as a special case.     

Nonexistence results and estimates for some nonlinear elliptic problems

Here we study the local or global behaviour of the solutions of elliptic inequalities involving quasilinear operators of the type or . We give integral estimates and nonexistence results. They depend on properties of the supersolutions of the equationsL _A ^u=0,L _B ^v=0, which suppose weak coercivity conditions. Under stronger conditions, we give pointwise estimates in case of equalities, using Harnack properties.
