The area of an exponential random walk and partial sums of uniform order statistics

Let S_i be a random walk with standard exponential increments. The sum ∑ _i=1 ^k S_i is called the k-step area of the walk. The random variable ∑ _i=1 ^k S_i plays an important role in the study of the so-called one-dimensional sticky particles model. We find the distribution of this variable and prove that

Invariants of classCk for finite coxeter groups and their representations in terms of anisotropic spaces

This article is devoted to the study of representations of C^k { } functions f invariant with respect to finite Coxeter groups W in the form f=F op, where p is a base in the algebra of W-invariant polynomials. We examine the lowering of smoothness of F as compared with f and conclude that this lowering has an anisotropic nature and that, more precisely, at each point Po it is described by a vector { }. We examine the cases W=A_n, B_n, D_n, { }; in each case the greatest component { } of { } is equal to the Coxeter number of the stabilizer W_yo of the point yo, where po=p(yo).

On the numerical construction of an attractor for the Navier-Stokes system

In this paper the problem of the numerical approximation of the minimal global B-attractor for a semiflow generated by the Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional bounded domain Ω is considered. The method suggested here is based on the formula , where G^N is a sequence of compact subsets of L₂(Ω), . The procedure of constructing G^N is finite and includes the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations by means of the Galerkin method, together with an explicit finite-difference discretization in time.

A local duality theorem for categories of modules

Let Λ be an associative ring with identity and let be the category of left unitary Λ-modules. A subcateqory of the category is said to be small if the pairwise nonisomorphic objects of form a set.

Asymptotic behavior of the solutions of an integrodifferential system

Summary We consider the system(L): , t ⩾ p, y(t)=f(t), t⩽0, where y is an n-vector and each A_i, B(t) are n × n matrices. System(L) generates a semigroup by means of T_tf(s)=y (t+s, f), f(s) ∈ BC_l(− ∞, 0]. Under some hypotheses concerning the roots ofdet where is the Laplace transform of B(t), the asymptotic behavior of y(t) is discussed. Two typical results are: Theorem 3.1: suppose ∥B(t)∥ ɛ L₁[0, ∞), thendet forRe λ>0 iff for every ɛ>0 there is an M_ɛ>0 such that ∥T_tf∥_l ⩽ ⩽ M_ɛ exp [ɛt]∥f∥_l for t ⩾ 0. Corollary 3.1.1: suppose exp [at]B(t) ∈ ∈ L₁[0, ∞) for some a>0 anddet forRe λ>−a. Then the solution of(L) is exponentially asymptotically stable. Entrata in Redazione il 21 marzo 1975.
