On transformations z(t) = y(ϕ(t)) of ordinary differential equations

The paper describes the general form of an ordinary differential equation of the order n + 1 (n 1) which allows a nontrivial global transformation consisting of the change of the independent variable. A result given by J. Aczél is generalized. A functional equation of the form where are given functions, is solved on .

Generalized Quasi-Variational Inequalities Without Continuities

Given a nonempty set and two multifunctions , we consider the following generalized quasi-variational inequality problem associated with X, : Find such that . We prove several existence results in which the multifunction is not supposed to have any continuity property. Among others, we extend the results obtained in Ref. 1 for the case (x(X.

On the Structure of a Certain Class of Mixed Tsirelson Spaces

We study Banach spaces of the form We call such a space a p-space, p[1,), if for every k the space is isomorphic to _pk and the sequence (p_k) strictly decreases to p. We examine the finite block representability of the spaces _r in a p-space proving that it depends not only on p but also on the sequences (p_k) and (n_k). Assuming that _i n_i ^1/q decreases to 0, where q is the conjugate exponent of p, we prove the existence of an asymptotic biorthogonal system in X and also that c ₀ is finitely representable in X. Moreover we investigate the modified versions of p-spaces proving that, if n_km1/pkm-1/pk_m-1 increases to infinity for a subsequence (n_km) , then ₁ embeds into X. We also investigate complemented minimality for the class of spaces where is either a subsequence of the sequence of Schreier classes ( _n)_{n N} or a subsequence of ( _n)_{n N}.     

Sharp Estimates for Deviations of Linear Approximation Methods for Periodic Functions by Linear Combinations of Moduli of Continuity of Different Order

Estimates for deviations are established for a large class of linear methods of approximation of periodic functions by linear combinations of moduli of continuity of different orders. These estimates are sharp in the sense of constants in the uniform and integral metrics. In particular, the following assertion concerning approximation by splines is proved: Suppose that is odd, . Then

Regular Unitarily Invariant Spaces on the Complex Sphere

Let K be a compact space, let X be a closed subspace of C(K), and let be a positive measure on K. The triple is said to be regular if, for any positive function and for any , there exists a function such that on K and . The case where K is the unit sphere in and the subspace X is invariant with respect to the unitary group is investigated. Sufficient spectral conditions and a necessary condition for the regularity of a triple are obtained. Connections with compactness of certain Hankel operators and applications to interpolation problems are presented. Bibliography: 16 titles.

A braid is called strongly positive if 1$$ " align="middle" border="0"> for any . In the present paper it is proved that the braid is strongly positive if the word does not contain . We also provide a geometric proof of the result by Burckel and Laver that the standard generators of a braid group are strongly positive. Finally, we discuss relations between the right invariant order and quasipositivity.
