On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-Theory of Graph <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript>-Algebras

We classify graph C ^*-algebras, namely, Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to the Bass-Hashimoto edge incidence operator of a finite graph, up to strict isomorphism. This is done by a purely graph theoretical calculation of the K-theory of the C ^*-algebras and the method also provides an independent proof of the classification up to Morita equivalence and stable equivalence of such algebras, without using the boundary operator algebra. A direct relation is given between the K ₁-group of the algebra and the cycle space of the graph. We thank Jakub Byszewski for his input in Sect. 2.8. The position of the unit in K ₀( _Ч) was guessed based on some example calculations by Jannis Visser in his SCI 291 Science Laboratory at Utrecht University College.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> approximation capability of RBF neural networks

L ^p approximation capability of radial basis function (RBF) neural networks is investigated. If g: R ₊¹ → R ¹ and ∈ L _loc ^p (R ⁿ ) with 1 ≤ p < ∞, then the RBF neural networks with g as the activation function can approximate any given function in L ^p (K) with any accuracy for any compact set K in R ⁿ , if and only if g(x) is not an even polynomial.

Some Notes on <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-quotients of Frames

We characterise C*-quotients and C-quotients of completely regular frames in terms of ?ech-Stone compactifications and Lindelöfications, respectively. The latter is a frame-theoretic result with no spatial counterpart. We also characterise C*-quotients and dense C-quotients of completely regular frames in terms of normal covers.     

Remarks on the <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-error linear complexity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>-periodic sequences

Recently the first author presented exact formulas for the number of 2 ⁿ -periodic binary sequences with given 1-error linear complexity, and an exact formula for the expected 1-error linear complexity and upper and lower bounds for the expected k-error linear complexity, k ≥ 2, of a random 2 ⁿ -periodic binary sequence. A crucial role for the analysis played the Chan–Games algorithm. We use a more sophisticated generalization of the Chan–Games algorithm by Ding et al. to obtain exact formulas for the counting function and the expected value for the 1-error linear complexity for p ⁿ -periodic sequences over prime. Additionally we discuss the calculation of lower and upper bounds on the k-error linear complexity of p ⁿ -periodic sequences over .      

Some Limit Theorems on the Increments of l^p-valued Multi-Parameter Gaussian Processes

In this paper, we establish some limit theorems on the increments of an l^p-valued multiparameter Gaussian process under weaker conditions than those of Csoergoe-Shao theorems published in Ann. Probab. (1993).     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Besselian Frames in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of q-Besselian frame and （p, σ）-near Riesz basis in a Banach space, where a is a finite subset of positive integers and 1/p＋1/q = 1 with p 〉 1, q 〉 1, and determine the relations among q-frame, p-Riesz basis, q-Besselian frame and （p, σ）-near Riesz basis in a Banach space. We also give some sufficient and necessary conditions on a q-Besselian frame for a Banach space. In particular, we prove reconstruction formulas for Banach spaces X and X^＊ that if {xn}n=1^∞ C X is a q-Besselian frame for X, then there exists a p-Besselian frame {y＆＊}n=1^∞ belong to X^＊ for X^＊ such that x = ∑n=1^∞ yn^＊（x）xn for all x ∈ X, and x^＊ =∑n=1^∞ x^＊（xn）yn^＊ for all x^＊ ∈ X^＊. Lastly, we consider the stability of a q-Besselian frame for the Banach space X under perturbation. Some results of J. R. Holub, P. G. Casazza, O. Christensen and others in Hilbert spaces are extended to Banach spaces.     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-valued triangle equality and inequality in Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-modules

We prove that for two elements x, y in a Hilbert C*-module V over a C*-algebra the C*-valued triangle equality |x + y| = |x| + |y| holds if and only if 〈x, y〉 = |x| |y|. In addition, if has a unit e, then for every x, y ∊ V and every ɛ > 0 there are contractions u, υ ∊ such that |x + y| ≦ u|x|u* + υ|y|υ* + ɛe.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> discrepancy of generalized two-dimensional Hammersley point sets

We determine the L _p discrepancy of the two-dimensional Hammersley point set in base b. These formulas show that the L _p discrepancy of the Hammersley point set is not of best possible order with respect to the general (best possible) lower bound on L _p discrepancies due to Roth and Schmidt. To overcome this disadvantage we introduce permutations in the construction of the Hammersley point set and show that there always exist permutations such that the L _p discrepancy of the generalized Hammersley point set is of best possible order. For the L ₂ discrepancy such permutations are given explicitly.

On Stability of Cones in <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>+1</Superscript> with Zero Scalar Curvature

In this work we generalize the case of scalar curvature zero the results of Simmons (Ann. Math. 88 (1968), 62–105) for minimal cones in Rⁿ⁺¹. If Mⁿ⁻¹ is a compact hypersurface of the sphere Sⁿ(1) we represent by C(M)ε the truncated cone based on M with center at the origin. It is easy to see that M has zero scalar curvature if and only if the cone base on M also has zero scalar curvature. Hounie and Leite (J. Differential Geom. 41 (1995), 247–258) recently gave the conditions for the ellipticity of the partial differential equation of the scalar curvature. To show that, we have to assume n ⩾ 4 and the three-curvature of M to be different from zero. For such cones, we prove that, for n ≤slant 7 there is an ε for which the truncate cone C(M)_ε is not stable. We also show that for n ⩾ 8 there exist compact, orientable hypersurfaces Mⁿ⁻¹ of the sphere with zero scalar curvature and S₃ different from zero, for which all truncated cones based on M are stable.

Quasi-parabolic analytic transformations of <Emphasis Type="Bold">C</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>. Parabolic manifolds

In [Rong, F., Quasi-parabolic analytic transformations of C ⁿ , J. Math. Anal. Appl. 343 (2008), 99–109], we showed the existence of “parabolic curves” for certain quasi-parabolic analytic transformations of C ⁿ . Under some extra assumptions, we show the existence of “parabolic manifolds” for such transformations.     

Point sets with low <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-discrepancy

In this paper we study the L _p -discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets. While it is known that the (unshifted) Hammersley point set (which is also known as Roth net) with N points has L _p -discrepancy (p an integer) of order (log N)/N, we show that there always exists a shift such that the digitally shifted Hammersley point set has L _p -discrepancy (p an even integer) of order which is best possible by a result of W. Schmidt. Further we concentrate on the case p = 2. We give very tight lower and upper bounds for the L ₂-discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets which show that the value of the L ₂-discrepancy of such a point set mostly depends on the number of zero coordinates of the shift and not so much on the position of these.

On Homomorphisms between <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras and Linear Derivations on <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras

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.

The strong <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">greedy</Emphasis> property of the Walsh system

For any 0 < ? < 1 one can find a measurable set E ? [0, 1] with the measure |E| > 1 ? ? such that for each function f(x) ε L ¹ (0, 1) a function g(x) ε L ¹ (0, 1) exists such that it coincides with f (x) on E, its Fourier—Walsh series converges to it in the metric of L ¹ (0, 1), and all nonzero terms of the sequence of Fourier coefficients of the new function obtained by the Walsh system have the modulo decreasing order; consequently, the greedy algorithm for this function converges to it in the L ¹ (0, 1)-norm.

Minimal Non—Commutative n—Insertive Rings

Let n be an integer with |n| > 1. If p is the smallest prime factor of |n|, we prove that a minimal non-commutative n-insertive ring contains n ⁴ elements and these rings have five (2p+4) isomorphic classes for p = 2 (p ≠ 2).
