Notes on von Neumann–Jordan and James Constants for Absolute Norms on {\mathbb{R}^2}

Let ${\|\cdot\|_{\psi}}$ be the absolute norm on ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ corresponding to a convex function ${\psi}$ on [0, 1] and ${C_{\text{NJ}}(\|\cdot\|_{\psi})}$ its von Neumann–Jordan constant. It is known that ${\max \{M_1^2, M_2^2\} \leq C_{\text{NJ}}(\| \cdot \|_{\psi}) \leq M_1^2 M_2^2}$ , where ${M_1 = \max_{0 \leq t \leq 1} \psi(t)/ \psi_2(t)}$ , ${M_2 = \max_{0\leq t \leq 1} \psi_2(t)/ \psi(t)}$ and ${\psi_2}$ is the corresponding function to the ? ₂-norm. In this paper, we shall present a necessary and sufficient condition for the above right side inequality to attain equality. A corollary, which is valid for the complex case, will cover a couple of previous results. Similar results for the James constant will be presented.

The present paper tackles two-point boundary value problems for fourth-order differential equations as follows:{u′″(t)=a(t)f(u(t)),t∈[0,1],;a1u(0)-b1u′(0)-c1u(1) d1u′(1)=0,;a2u″(0)-b2u′″(0)=c2u″(1) d2u′″(1)=0.Several existence theorems on multiple positive solutions to the problems are obtained,ad some examples are given to show the validity of these results.     

Perturbations of Moore–Penrose Metric Generalized Inverses of Linear Operators in Banach Spaces

In this paper,the perturbations of the Moore–Penrose metric generalized inverses of linear operators in Banach spaces are described.The Moore–Penrose metric generalized inverse is homogeneous and nonlinear in general,and the proofs of our results are different from linear generalized inverses.By using the quasi-additivity of Moore–Penrose metric generalized inverse and the theorem of generalized orthogonal decomposition,we show some error estimates of perturbations for the singlevalued Moore–Penrose metric generalized inverses of bounded linear operators.Furthermore,by means of the continuity of the metric projection operator and the quasi-additivity of Moore–Penrose metric generalized inverse,an expression for Moore–Penrose metric generalized inverse is given.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>-bounded Representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)

We investigate R-bounded representations , where X is a Banach space and G is a lca group. Observing that Ψ induces a (strongly continuous) group homomorphism , we are then able to analyze certain classical homomorphisms U (e.g. translations in L^p (G)) from the viewpoint of R-boundedness and the theory of scalar-type spectral operators.

The Cauchy Boundary Value Problems on Closed Piecewise Smooth Manifolds in <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

Suppose that D is a bounded domain with a piecewise C^1 smooth boundary in C^n. Let ψ∈C^1 α(δD). By using the Hadamard principal value of the higher order singular integral and solid angle coefficient method of points on the boundary, we give the Plemelj formula of the higher order singular integral with the Boehner-Martinelli kernel, which has integral density ψ. Moreover, by means of the Plemelj formula and methods of complex partial differential equations, we discuss the corresponding Cauehy boundary value problem with the Boehner-Martinelli kernel on a closed piecewise smooth manifold and obtain its unique branch complex harmonic solution.

We prove that an eigenvalue λ _s (f ₂, f ₂, …, f _n ) of the Lie group Sp(n), corresponding to the representation with label (f ₁, f ₂, ..., f _n ), is an eigenvalue of the manifold Sp(n)/U(n), if and only if f ₁, f ₂, …, f _n are all even.     

Weierstrass Type Representation of Willmore Surfaces in <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

In this paper, we reformulate the Euler-Lagrange equations of Willmore surfaces in S^n as the flatness of a family of certain loop algebra-valued 1-forms. Therefore we can give the Weierstrass type representation of conformal Willmore surfaces. We also discuss the relations between conformal Willmore surfaces in S^n and minimal surfaces in constant curvature spaces S^n, R^n, H^n, and prove that some special Willmore surfaces can be derived from minimal surfaces in S^n, R^n, H^n.     

Congruences Concerning Values of the Modular Functions <Emphasis Type="Italic">j</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

The j-function j(z) = q⁻¹+ 744 + 196884q + ⋅s plays an important role in many problems. In [7], Zagier, presented an interesting series of functions obtained from the j-function: j_m(ζ) = (j(ζ) – 744)∨T₀(m), where T₀(m) is the usual m′th normalized weight 0 Hecke operator. In [3], Bruinier et al. show how this series of functions can be used to describe all meromorphic modular forms on SL₂(ℤ). In this note we use these functions and basic notions about modular forms to determine previously unidentified congruence relations between the coefficients of Eisenstein series and the j-function. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary–11B50, 11F03, 11F30 The author thanks the National Science Foundation for their generous support.

It is shown that every almost linear Pexider mappings f, g, h from a unital C*-algebra into a unital C*-algebra ℬ are homomorphisms when f(2 ⁿ _uy) = f(2 ⁿ u)f(y), g(2 ⁿ uy) = g(2 ⁿ u)g(y) and h(2 ⁿ uy) = h(2 ⁿ u)h(y) hold for all unitaries u ∈ , all y ∈ , and all n ∈ ℤ, and that every almost linear continuous Pexider mappings f, g, h from a unital C*-algebra of real rank zero into a unital C*-algebra ℬ are homomorphisms when f(2 ⁿ uy) = f(2 ⁿ u)f(y), g(2 ⁿ uy) = g(2 ⁿ u)g(y) and h(2 ⁿ uy) = h(2 ⁿ u)h(y) hold for all u ∈ {v ∈ : v = v* and v is invertible}, all y ∈ and all n ∈ ℤ. Furthermore, we prove the Cauchy-Rassias stability of *-homomorphisms between unital C*-algebras, and ℂ-linear *-derivations on unital C*-algebras.
