Large-time asymptotics for the Gt/Mt/st+GIt many-server fluid queue with abandonment

We previously introduced and analyzed the G _t /M _t /s _t +GI _t many-server fluid queue with time-varying parameters, intended as an approximation for the corresponding stochastic queueing model when there are many servers and the system experiences periods of overload. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic loss of memory (ALOM) property for that fluid model, i.e., we show that there is asymptotic independence from the initial conditions as time t evolves, under regularity conditions. We show that the difference in the performance functions dissipates over time exponentially fast, again under the regularity conditions. We apply ALOM to show that the stationary G/M/s+GI fluid queue converges to steady state and the periodic G _t /M _t /s _t +GI _t fluid queue converges to a periodic steady state as time evolves, for all finite initial conditions.     

Zeros in tables of characters for the groups Sn and An

In the representation theory of symmetric groups, for each partition of a natural number n, the partition h() of n is defined so as to obtain a certain set of zeros in the table of characters for S_n. Namely, h() is the greatest (under the lexicographic ordering ) partition among P(n) such that (g) 0. Here, is an irreducible character of S_n, indexed by a partition , and g is a conjugacy class of elements in S_n, indexed by a partition . We point out an extra set of zeros in the table that we are dealing with. For every non self-associated partition P(n), the partition f() of n is defined so that f() is greatest among the partitions of n which are opposite in sign to h() and are such that (g) 0 (Thm. 1). Also, for any self-associated partition of n > 1, we construct a partition () P(n) such that () is greatest among the partitions of n which are distinct from h() and are such that (g) 0 (Thm. 2).Supported by RFBR grant No. 04-01-00463 and by RFBR-BRFBR grant No. 04-01-81001.Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 1, pp. 24–43, January–February, 2005.     

Invariants of the adjoint action in the nilradical of a parabolic subalgebra of types Bn, Cn, and Dn

We study invariants of the adjoint action of the unipotent group in the nilradical of a parabolic subalgebra of types B _n , C _n , D _n . We introduce the notion of expanded base in the set of positive roots and construct an invariant for every root of the expanded base. We prove that these invariants are algebraically independent. We also give an estimate of the transcendence degree of the invariant field. Bibliography: 6 titles.     

Linear quivers, generic extensions and Kashiwara operators

In the present paper, we introduce the generic extension graph G of a Dynkin or cyclic quiver Q and then compare this graph with the crystal graph C for the quantized enveloping algebra associated to Q via two maps ℘_Q, _Q : Ω → Λ_Q induced by generic extensions and Kashiwara operators, respectively, where Λ_Q is the set of isoclasses of nilpotent representations of Q, and Ω is the set of all words on the alphabet I, the vertex set of Q. We prove that, if Q is a (finite or infinite) linear quiver, then the intersection of the fibres ℘_Q⁻¹ (λ) and KQ⁻¹ (λ) is non-empty for every λ ∈ Λ _Q. We will also show that this non-emptyness property fails for cyclic quivers.     

Irreducible characters with equal roots in the groups Sn and An

We show that treating of (non-trivial) pairs of irreducible characters of the group S_n sharing the same set of roots on one of the sets A_n and S_n \ A_n is divided into three parts. This, in particular, implies that any pair of such characters χ^α and χ^β (α and β are respective partitions of a number n) possesses the following property: lengths d(α) and d(β) of principal diagonals of Young diagrams for α and β differ by at most 1.

Very tight embeddings of subspaces ofLp, 1 =p< 2, intolp n

We prove that for 1 p < r < 2, every n-dimensional subspace E of L _r, in particular l _r ⁿ , well-embeds into l _p ^m for some m (1 + $$\epsilon$$)n, where well depends on p, r, and the arbitrary $$\epsilon$$ > 0, but not on n.     

The Characterization of the Derivatives for Linear Combinations of Post–Widder Operators inLp

The aim of the paper is to characterize the global rate of approximation of derivativesf^(l)through corresponding derivatives of linear combinations of Post–Widder operators in an appropriate weightedL_p-metric using a weighted Ditzian and Totik modulus of smoothness, and also to characterize derivatives of these operators in Besov spaces of Ditzian–Totik type.     

Automorphisms of Chevalley groups of types Al, Dl, El over local rings without 1/2

In this paper, we prove that every automorphism of a Chevalley group of type B _l , l ≥ 2, over a commutative local ring with 1/2 is standard, i.e., it is a composition of ring, inner, and central automorphisms.     

Linear recurrence relations for cluster variables of affine quivers

We prove that the frieze sequences of cluster variables associated with the vertices of an affine quiver satisfy linear recurrence relations. In particular, we obtain a proof of a recent conjecture by Assem–Reutenauer–Smith.     

Automorphisms of elementary adjoint Chevalley groups of types Al, Dl, and El over local rings with 1/2

It is proved that every automorphism of an elementary adjoint Chevalley group of type A _l , D _l , or E _l over a local commutative ring with 1/2 is a composition of a ring automorphism and conjugation by some matrix from the normalizer of that Chevalley group in GL(V) (V is an adjoint representation space).     

Cut elimination for S4n and K4n with the central agent axiom

We analyze the multimodal logic S4 _n with the central agent axiom. We present a Hilbert-type calculus, then derive a Gentzen-type calculus with cut, and prove a cut-elimination theorem. The work shows that it is possible to construct a cut-free Gentzen-type calculus for this logic. Moreover, it also provides analogous results for the multimodal logic K4 _n with the central agent axiom.     

Orthogonality of the characters of Sn

If the irreducible characters of the symmetric group are interpreted combinatorially using the Murnaghan-Nakayama formula, a sign reversing involution is given which proves the orthogonality formula of the first kind for these characters.     

Some remarks on the Schr?dinger equation with a potential in LrtLsx

We study the dispersive properties of the linear Schr?dinger equation with a time-dependent potential V(t,x). We show that an appropriate integrability condition in space and time on V, i.e. the boundedness of a suitable L^r_tL^s_x norm, is sufficient to prove the full set of Strichartz estimates. We also construct several counterexamples which show that our assumptions are optimal, both for local and for global Strichartz estimates, in the class of large unsigned potentials V ∈L^r_tL^s_x.

Embedding the diamond graph inLpand dimension reduction inL1

We show that any embedding of the level k diamond graph of Newman and Rabinovich [NR] into L_p, 1 < p 2, requires distortion at least . An immediate corollary is that there exist arbitrarily large n-point sets such that any D-embedding of X into requires . This gives a simple proof of a recent result of Brinkman and Charikar [BrC] which settles the long standing question of whether there is an L₁ analogue of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss dimension reduction lemma [JL].
