Noncommutative transforms and free pluriharmonic functions

In this paper, we study free pluriharmonic functions on noncommutative balls γ[Bn(H)], γ>0, and their boundary behavior. These functions have the form

     

On the spectral radius of positive operators on Banach sequence spaces

Let K₁,…,K_n be (infinite) non-negative matrices that define operators on a Banach sequence space. Given a function f:[0,∞)×…×[0,∞)→[0,∞) of n variables, we define a non-negative matrix and consider the inequality

     

Large matchings from eigenvalues

We find lower bounds on the difference between the spectral radius λ₁ and the average degree of an irregular graph G of order n and size e. In particular, we show that, if n ? 4, then

     

Beta-expansion and continued fraction expansion

For any real number β>1, let ε(1,β)=(ε₁(1),ε₂(1),…,εn(1),…) be the infinite β-expansion of 1. Define . Let x∈[0,1) be an irrational number. We denote by kn(x) the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of x given by the first n digits in the β-expansion of x. If is bounded, we obtain that for all x∈[0,1)?Q,

     

Estimates of the coefficients of the Jacobi expansion by measures of smoothness

For expansion by Jacobi polynomials we relate smoothness given by appropriate K-functionals in Lp, 1?p?2, to estimates on the coefficients in the ?q form. As a corollary for 1<p?2, and an the coefficients of the Legendre expansion of f∈Lp[−1,1], we obtain the estimate

Some relations between rank of a graph and its complement

Let G be a graph of order n and rank(G) denotes the rank of its adjacency matrix. Clearly, . In this paper we characterize all graphs G such that or n + 2. Also for every integer n ? 5 and any k, 0 ? k ? n, we construct a graph G of order n, such that .     

Counting substructures I: Color critical graphs

Let F be a graph which contains an edge whose deletion reduces its chromatic number. We prove tight bounds on the number of copies of F in a graph with a prescribed number of vertices and edges. Our results extend those of Simonovits (1968) [8], who proved that there is one copy of F, and of Rademacher, Erd?s (1962) [1] and [2] and Lovász and Simonovits (1983) [4], who proved similar counting results when F is a complete graph.One of the simplest cases of our theorem is the following new result. There is an absolute positive constant c such that if n is sufficiently large and 1?q<cn, then every n vertex graph with ⌊n²/4⌋+q edges contains at least

     

Spectral radius of graphs with given matching number

In this paper, we show that of all graphs of order n with matching number β, the graphs with maximal spectral radius are K_n if n = 2β or 2β + 1; if 2β + 2 ? n < 3β + 2; or if n = 3β + 2; if n > 3β + 2, where is the empty graph on t vertices.     

Strong and weak convergence theorems for common fixed points of nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings

Suppose that K is a nonempty closed convex nonexpansive retract of a real uniformly convex Banach space E. Let be two nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with sequences {kn},{ln}⊂[1,∞), limn→∞kn=1, limn→∞ln=1, , respectively. Suppose {xn} is generated iteratively by

     

When do linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials yield new sequences of orthogonal polynomials?

Given {P_n}_n≥0 a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials, we analyze their linear combinations with constant coefficients and fixed length, i.e., 

     

OMC for scalar multiples of unitaries

We establish the following case of the Determinantal Conjecture of Marcus [M. Marcus, Derivations, Plücker relations and the numerical range, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 22 (1973) 1137-1149] and de Oliveira [G.N. de Oliveira, Research problem: Normal matrices, Linear and Multilinear Algebra 12 (1982) 153-154]. Let A and B be unitary n × n matrices with prescribed eigenvalues a₁, … , a_n and b₁, … , b_n, respectively. Then for any scalars t and s
