Lipschitz and darbo conditions for the superposition operator in ideal spaces

Summary In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the superposition operator Fx(s)=f(s, x(s)) to satisfy a Lipschitz condition Fx₁ - Fx₂kx₁ - x₂ or a Darbo condition (FN)k(N) in ideal spaces of measurable functions, where is the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. Moreover, we characterize a large class of spaces in which the above mentioned two conditions are equivalent.

Sunto In questo lavoro diamo delle condizioni necessarie e sufficienti perchè l'operatore di sovrapposizione Fx(s)=f (s, x(s)) soddisfi alla condizione di Lipschitz Fx₁–Fx₂ kx₁–x₂ o quella di Darbo (FN)k(N) in spazi ideali di funzioni misurabili, ove è la misura di non compattezza di Hausdorff. Inoltre, caratterizziamo un'ampia classe di spazi in cui le suddette due condizioni sono equivalenti.

     

Some remarks on the modulus of continuity of a conformal mapping of the disk onto a Jordan domain

Letd(;z, t) be the smallest diameter of the arcs of a Jordan curve with endsz andt. Consider the rapidity of decreasing ofd(;)=sup{d(;z, t):z, t , ¦z–t¦} (as 0,0) as a measure of nicety of . Letg(x) (x0) be a continuous and nondecreasing function such thatg(x)x,g(0)=0. Put¯g(x)=g(x)+x, h(x)=(¯g(x))². LetH(x) be an arbitrary primitive of 1/h ^–1(x). Note that the functionH ^–1 x is positive and increasing on (–, +),H ^–1 0 asx– andH ^–1+ asx +.

The Whitehead Group of the Novikov Ring

The Bass–Heller–Swan–Farrell–Hsiang–Siebenmann decomposition of the Whitehead group K ₁(A[z,z^-1]) of a twisted Laurent polynomial extension A[z,z^-1] of a ring A is generalized to a decomposition of the Whitehead group K ₁(A((z))) of a twisted Novikov ring of power series A((z))=A[[z]][z^-1]. The decomposition involves a summand W₁(A, ) which is an Abelian quotient of the multiplicative group W(A,) of Witt vectors 1+a₁z+a₂z²+ ··· A[[z]]. An example is constructed to show that in general the natural surjection W(A, )^ab W₁(A, ) is not an isomorphism.     

Lp-convergence for expansions in terms of the eigenfunctions of a Sturm — Liouville problem

For the operator L_v=–(x^2ay). x [0, 1], y(0)=y(1)=0 with 0 < 1/2, or ¦y¦ < , y(1)=0 with 1/2 <1, we investigate the effect which the singularity of the Sturm-Liouville operator derived from this self-adjoint expression has on L_p-convergence of expansions in terms of the eigenfunctions of this operator. We will prove that the orthonormalized system of eigenfunctions forms a basis in L_p [0, 1] for 2/(2–) < p < 2/.Translated from Matematicheskii Zametki, Vol. 3, No. 6, pp. 683–692, June, 1968.The author is grateful to V.

A functional inequality for real-analytic functions

Summary Forf ( C ⁿ() and 0 t x letJ _n (f, t, x) = (–1)ⁿ f(–x)f ⁽ⁿ⁾(t) +f(x)f ⁽ⁿ⁾ (–t). We prove that the only real-analytic functions satisfyingJ _n (f, t, x) 0 for alln = 0, 1, 2, are the exponential functionsf(x) = c e ^x,c, . Further we present a nontrivial class of real-analytic functions satisfying the inequalitiesJ ₀ (f, x, x) 0 and ₀ ^x (x – t)^{n – 1}J_n(f, t, x)dt 0 (n 1).     

On a characterization of polynomials by divided differences

Summary We consider the functional equationf[x ₁,x ₂,, x _n ] =h(x ₁ + +x _n ) (x ₁,,x _n K, x _j x _k forj k), (D) wheref[x ₁,x ₂,,x _n ] denotes the (n – 1)-st divided difference off and prove Theorem. Let n be an integer, n 2, let K be a field, char(K) 2, with # K 8(n – 2) + 2. Let, furthermore, f, h: K K be functions. Then we have that f, h fulfil (D) if, and only if, there are constants a_j K, 0 j n (a := a_n, b := a_{n – 1}) such thatf = ax ⁿ +bx ^{n – 1} + +a ₀ and h = ax + b.

Theorem on a convergence condition in the spaces

For a given -function (u), a condition on a -function (u) is found such that it is necessary and sufficient for the following to hold: if f_n(x) f(x) and f _n (x)M (n=1, 2, ...) where M>0 is an absolute constant, then f _n (x)–f(x)0(n). An analogous condition for convergence in Orlicz spaces is obtained as a corollary.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 615–626, May, 1977.The author thanks V. A.

On the distribution of square-full and cube-full integers

LetN _r (x) be the number ofr-full integers x and let _r (x) be the error term in the asymptotic formula forN _r (x). Under Riemann's hypothesis, we prove the estimates ₂(x)x^1/7+, ₃(x)x^97/804+(>0), which improve those of Cao and Nowak. We also investigate the distribution ofr-full andl-free numbers in short intervals (r=2,3). Our results sharpen Krätzel's estimates.     

On a problem of Erdös and Alladi

We give an estimate for the quantity {f(n):nx, p(n)y}, wherep(n) denotes the greatest prime factor ofn andf belongs to a certain class of multiplicative functions. As an application, we show that for the Moebius function, ({(n):nx, p(n)y}) ({1:nx, p(n)y})^–1 tends to zero, asx, uniformly iny2, and thus settle a conjecture of Erdös.Supported by a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft.

Existence theorems for nonlinear evolution inclusions

Summary In this paper we obtain an existence theorem for the abstract Cauchy problem for multivalued differential equations of the form u–^– f(u)+G(u), u(O)=x₀, where ^– f is the Fréchet subdifferential of a functionf defined on an open subset of a real separable Hilbert space H, taking its values in R {+} and G is a multifunction from C([0, T], ) into the nonempty subsets of L²([0, T], H). As an application we obtain an existence theorem for the multivalued perturbed problem x–^– f(x)+F(t, x), x(0)=x₀, where F:[0, T]×(H) is a multifunction satisfying some regularity assumptions.     

k-regular factors and semi-k-regular factors in bipartite graphs

LetG be a graph, andk1 an integer. LetU be a subset ofV(G), and letF be a spanning subgraph ofG such that deg _F (x)=k for allx V(G)–U. If deg _F (x)k for allxU, thenF is called an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setU, and if deg _F (x)k for allxU, thenF is called a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setU. Now letG=(X, Y;E(G)) be a bipartite graph with bipartition (X,Y) such that X=Yk+2. We prove the following two results.(1) Suppose that for each subsetU ₁X such that U ₁=max{k+1, X+1/2},G has an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setU ₁Y, and for each subsetU ₂Y such that U ₂=max{k+1, X+1/2},G has an upper semi-k-regular factor with defect setXU ₂. ThenG has ak-factor.(2) Suppose that for each subsetU ₁X such that U ₁=X–1/k+1,G has a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setU ₁Y, and for each subsetU ₂Y such that U ₂=X–1/k+1,G has a lower semi-k-regular factor with defect setXU ₂. ThenG has ak-factor.

A property of a system of functions close to exponential functions

We consider the system {f _n=xⁿ[l+_n]} in the interval [a,b] (0 a n > 0 and _n(x) such as the condition, we obtain a bound for the coefficients of the polynomial P(x)=#x2211;c_n f _n(x) in terms of P(x)L_p[a,b]. It is found that this bound is not valid without this condition (assuming the other conditions to remain the same).Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 12, No. 1, pp. 29–36, July, 1972.

Two-sided polynomial approximation of functions

Conditions are established when the collocation polynomials P_m(x) and P_M(x), m M, constructed respectively using the system of nodes x_j of multiplicities a_j 1, j = O,, n, and the system of nodes x_-r,,x_o,,x_n,,x_n+r1, r O, r₁ O, of multiplicities a_-r,,(a_o + y_o),,(a_n + y_n),,a_n+r1, a_j + y_j 1, are two sided-approximations of the function f on the intervals , x_j[, j = O,...,n + 1, and on unions of any number of these intervals. In this case, the polynomials P_m (x), P_M ^(l) (x) with l a_j are two-sided approximations of the function f⁽¹⁾ in the neighborhood of the node x_j and the integrals of the polynomials P_m(x), P_M(x) over D_j are two-sided approximations of the integral of the function f (over D_j). If the multiplicities a_j a_j + y_j of the nodes x_j are even, then this is also true for integrals over the set _j= _µ ^k D_j µ 1, k n. It is shown that noncollocation polynomials (Fourier polynomials, etc.) do not have these properties.Kiev University.
