Solvable complete lie algebras. I ∗

In this paper, we will discuss the properties of solvable complete Lie algebra, describe the structures of the root spaces of solvable complete Lie algebra, prove that solvable Lie algebras of maximal rank are com-plete, and construct some new complete Lie algebras from Kac-Moody algebras.     

The m-ordered real free pro-2-group. Cohomological characterizations ∗

In this paper we investigate representations of simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2 and of their Lie algebras. For the groups of rank 4 or less, we shall determine all of the extensions of simple modules. The central theme will be the study of some intimate connections among the groups of types B_l, C _l and D_l (and F ₄ when l = 4). We also give calculations for those other groups of rank 4 or less which have not already been treated elsewhere ([1], [18]), but this is primarily for the sake of completeness.     

∗-Polynomial Identities of a Nonsymmetric ∗-Minimal Algebra

Let F be an infinite field of characteristic ≠?2. We study the ?-polynomial identities of the ?-minimal algebra R?=?UT _?(F?⊕?F, F). We describe the generators of T _?(R) and a linear basis of the relatively free algebra of R. When char.F?=?0, these results allow us to provide a complete list of polynomials generating irreducible GL × GL-modules decomposing the proper part of the relatively free algebra of R. Finally, the ?-codimension sequence of R is explicitly computed.     

E ∗-dense E-semigroups

We obtain a covering theorem for E ^?-dense E-semigroups showing that such a semigroup has an E ^?-dense, strongly E ^?-unitary E-semigroup as a cover and describe the structure of the latter semigroups.     

∗-Prime Group Algebras

An associative algebra R over a field K is said to be right ?-prime if for every nonzero r ? R, there exists a finitely generated subalgebra S of R such that rSt = 0 implies t = 0. Clearly, strongly prime implies ?-prime and ?-prime implies prime. A large number of examples of group algebras are given which show that the concept of ?-prime lies strictly between prime and strongly prime. A complete characterization of ?-prime group algebras is given. It is proved that a group algebra KG of the group G over the field K is ?-prime if and only if Λ⁺(G) = (1). Intersection theorems play an important role in the study. In the process, a new intersection theorem for ?-prime group algebras is obtained. Elementwise characterization of the ?-prime radical is given and its relation with some well-known radicals is discussed.     

Lucas' theorem refined ∗

We prove a refined version of the classical Lucas' theorem: if p is a polynomial with zeros a ₁,…,a _n+1 all having modulus one and φis the Blaschke product whose zeros are those of the derivative p ¹, then the compression of the shift S(φ) has its numerical range circumscribed about by the (n+ l)-gon a ₁…a _n+1 with tangent points the midpoints of then+ l sides of the polygon. This is proved via a special matrix representation of S(φ) and is a generalization of the known case for n= 2.     

The asymptotic analysis of generalized eigenvectors of some Jacobi operators. Jordan box case∗

This paper presents two methods of finding asymptotic formulae for a basis of solutions of the second order difference equations in the Jordan box case. An application to spectral analysis of Jacobi operators is also sketched.     

Product of matrical discs ∗

We determine the matrical disc with minimal radius for the set of products XY when X and Y run over a (possibly distinct) matrical disc, respectively. Also we determine the union of the numerical ranges W(XY).     

Set inertia-preserving matrices∗ †

The inertia-preservers of several sets of matrices are identified. The sets include: all real matrices, all complex matrices, triangular matrices, real symmetric matrices and Hermitian matrices.     

Numerical ranges and dilations ∗

Denote by W(A) the numerical range of a bounded linear operator A. For two operators A and B (which may act on different Hilbert spaces), we study the relation between the inclusion relation W(A)?W(B) and the condition that A can be dilated to an operator of the form B?I. We also investigate the possibilities of dilating an operator A to operators with simple structure under the assumption that W(A) is included in a special region.     

Schreier theory for singular extensions of categorical groups and homotopy classification∗ ∗

If G is a categorical group, a G-module is defined to be a braided categorical group (A c) together with an action of G on (A,c). In this work we define the notions of singular extension of G by the G-module (A,c) and of 1-cocycle of G with coefficients in (A,c) and we obtain, first, a bijection between the set of equivalence classes of singular extensions of G by (Ac) and the set of equivalence classes of 1-cocycles. Next, we associate to any G-module (Ac) a Kan fibration of simplicial sets ?: Ner(GAc)) → Ner(G)and then we show that there is a bijection between the set of equivalence classes of singular extensions of G by (A,c) and Γ[Ner(G,A,c/Ner(G)]the set of fibre homotopy classes of cross-sections of the fibration ?.     

∗-regularities of γ-rings

A general regularity for weak Nobusawa γ-rings is defined which takes into account the nature of the factor r-rings in this category. The class of

?-regularities is defined and studied. We show that ?-regularities represent only six different algebraic properties for elements of γ-rings. Right (left weak-regularity, Von Neumann-regularity, α-regularity and f-regularity are identified as special cases of ?-regularities. Various characterzations o the different types of regular γ-rings are given. Relationships amongst the operator rings are also, established for the above mentioned regularities     

Optimization over equilibrium sets ∗

We introduce a certain notion of equilibrium points, which constitute a generalization of Pareto efficient points, and we propose a branch-and-bound method to maximize a concave function over the set of all equilibrium points of a given set     

Classes of generalized ∗-modules

We study the class, STAR , of all ?-modules by means of the classes, S_λ, of all ?λ-modules, λ> 0 being a cardinal. Since STAR, equals the intersection of the decreasing chain S_λ, λ > 0, our approach ‘from above’ complements the usual approach ‘from below’ consisting in the study of quasi-progenerators and tilting modules. We present relations between categorical properties of ?-;modules and those of ?-modules. Answering a question of Menini, we use the solution of the Artin's problem to show that the chain Sλ,λ > No, is strictly decreasing in general.     

Tilting modules and ∗-modules

The relation between ?-modules-studied in [MO], [D], [C], [DH], [CM], [Z] and [T]-and Tiltng modules over an arbitrary ring is analyzed. In particular we prove that Tilting modules are exactly the faithful and finendo ?-modules. This answers a question of Trlifaj [T, Problem 1.5], showing that for any ring R the class of ?-modules generating the injectives and that one of Tiltings coincides. As a first application, we give an easy proof of the fact that every faithful ?-module over a finite-dimensional K-algebra is a classical Tilting module (see [DH, Theorem 1]). As a second application, we characterise the Tiltings as those modules which induce an equivalence between two categories with suitable dual properties.     

Multivariable state-feedback self-tuning controllers ∗

This paper describes a state-space approach for self-tuning control of a class of multivariable stochastic systems having the same number of inputs as outputs. A multivariable state-feedback self-tuning controller, based on pole-assignment concepts, is derived. The developed multivariable self-tuner can be applied to stable/unstable and minimum/non-minimum phase linear time-invariant multivariable systems. A multivariable reduced-order self-tuner and a state-feedback minimum-variance self-tuner are also derived. The simplicity and flexibility of the proposed state-space approach facilitate the practical applications of self-tuning control concepts to real systems     

A genetic filtering problem ∗

Members of a population of fixed size N can be in any one of n states. In discrete time the individuals jump from one state to another, independently of each other, and with probabilities described by a homogeneous Markov chain. At each time a sample of size M is withdrawn, (with replacement). Based on these observations, and using the techniques of Hidden Markov Models, recursive estimates for the distribution of the population are obtained     

Interaction of low regularity waves∗

We study the microlocal and local interaction for two low regularity waves using a semilinear system, i.e□u ₁ =u ₁ u ₂where u ₁ and u ₂ are linear wavesu ₁,u ₂ ? H^s (R x Rⁿ) forn ≥ 3, and show that in th lacunau ₃ has higher Sobolev regularity than u ₁ and u ₂. Here s depends on n, and is lower than required in any previous interaction results, (n?1)/2or (n?3/2)
