On Singular Integro-Differential Operators on the Halfaxis

In the frame of classical SOBOLEV spaces the FREDHOLM property will be characterized for a class of singular integro-differential operators on the positive halfaxis. A symbol calculus moreover permits to specify an index formula and a special FREDHOLM inverse.     

The Point Spectrum and Spectral Geometry for Riemannian Manifolds with Cusps

The bifurcation of a solution of the equation f(x, λ) = 0 at the point (x₀, λ₀) is investigated. In the case that B: = –f_x(x₀, λ₀) is a FREDHOLM operator by the method of LJAPUNOV/SCHMIDT the original equation is equivalent to a system consisting of a locally uniquely solvable equation and an equation in a finit dimensional subspace, the so-called bifurcation equation. For analytical/recursion formulas are deduced to determine the locally unique solution. In the case of FREDHOLM operators B with index zero practicable criteria are given for the applicability of a theorem of IZE being a generalization of a well known theorem of KRASNOSELSKIJ.     

The construction and approximation of some neural networks operators

In this paper,the technique of approximate partition of unity is used to construct a class of neural networks operators with sigmoidal functions.Using the modulus of continuity of function as a metric,...     

Rate of approximation for functions with derivatives of bounded variation

We estimate pointwise convergence rates of approximation for functions with derivatives of bounded variation and for functions which are exponentially bounded and have derivatives locally of bounded variation. The approximation is made through the operation of a sequence of integral operators with not necessarily positive kernel functions. The general result is then applied to deduce estimates for Beta operators, Hermite-Fejér operators, Picard operators, Gauss-Weierstrass operators, Baskakov operators, Mirakjan-Szász operators, Bleimann-Butzer-Hahn operators, Phillips operators, and Post-Widder operators.     

Interpolation by neural network operators activated by ramp functions

In this paper, a family of interpolation neural network operators are introduced. Here, ramp functions as well as sigmoidal functions generated by central B-splines are considered as activation functions. The interpolation properties of these operators are proved, together with a uniform approximation theorem with order, for continuous functions defined on bounded intervals. The relations with the theory of neural networks and with the theory of the generalized sampling operators are discussed.     

Monotone Operators Representable by l.s.c. Convex Functions

A theorem due to Fitzpatrick provides a representation of arbitrary maximal monotone operators by convex functions. This paper explores representability of arbitrary (nonnecessarily maximal) monotone operators by convex functions. In the finite-dimensional case, we identify the class of monotone operators that admit a convex representation as the one consisting of intersections of maximal monotone operators and characterize the monotone operators that have a unique maximal monotone extension.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 47H05, 46B99, 47H17.     

On generalized hankel operators induced by sums and products

Vectorial Hankel operators are studied, in particular the ranges of Hankel operators induced by sums and products of matrix functions defined on the unit circle are determined. The analytical tools involve factorization theorems for operator valued analytic functions and the spectral analysis of operators that intertwine restricted shifts.     

Approximations of Set-Valued Functions by Metric Linear Operators

In this paper we introduce new approximation operators for univariate set-valued functions with general compact images in Rⁿ. We adapt linear approximation methods for real-valued functions by replacing linear combinations of numbers with new metric linear combinations of finite sequences of compact sets, thus obtaining "metric analogues" of these operators for set-valued functions. The new metric linear combination extends the binary metric average of Artstein to several sets and admits any real coefficients. Approximation estimates for the metric analogue operators are derived. As examples we study metric Bernstein operators, metric Schoenberg operators, and metric polynomial interpolants.     

On uniform approximation by some classical Bernstein-type operators

We investigate the functions for which certain classical families of operators of probabilistic type over noncompact intervals provide uniform approximation on the whole interval. The discussed examples include the Szász operators, the Szász-Durrmeyer operators, the gamma operators, the Baskakov operators, and the Meyer-König and Zeller operators. We show that some results of Totik remain valid for unbounded functions, at the same time that we give simple rates of convergence in terms of the usual modulus of continuity. We also show by a counterexample that the result for Meyer-König and Zeller operators does not extend to Cheney and Sharma operators.     

Rate of approximation for functions of bounded variation by integral operators

We estimate pointwise convergence rates of approximation for functions of bounded variation and for functions which are exponentially bounded and locally of bounded variation. The approximation is through the operation of a sequence of integral operators with not necessarily positive kernel functions. The general result is then applied to deduce estimates for particular operators, such as Beta operators, Fourier–Legendre operators, Picard operators, and Gauss–Weierstrass operators.

Schur function identities, their t-analogs, and k-Schur irreducibility

We obtain general identities for the product of two Schur functions in the case where one of the functions is indexed by a rectangular partition, and give their t-analogs using vertex operators. We study subspaces forming a filtration for the symmetric function space that lends itself to generalizing the theory of Schur functions and also provides a convenient environment for studying the Macdonald polynomials. We use our identities to prove that the vertex operators leave such subspaces invariant. We finish by showing that these operators act trivially on the k-Schur functions, thus leading to a concept of irreducibility for these functions.     

On quasisymmetric homeomorphisms

We introduce and study some operators and functions induced by a quasisymmetric homeomorphism. By means of these operators and functions, we study when a quasisymmetric homeomorphism is symmetric or even belongs to the Weil-Petersson class.     

Spectral order for unbounded operators

The spectral order, a notion originated by Olson for bounded operators, is investigated here in the context of unbounded operators. Dissimilarities between bounded and unbounded cases are pointed out. New criteria for two operators to be comparable are supplied. A way of reducing the study of the spectral order to the case of bounded operators is proposed. Connections with essential selfadjointness are established. Integral inequalities for monotonically increasing functions are characterized in terms of distribution functions. Some illustrative examples are furnished.     

Spectral analysis of singular ordinary differential operators with indefinite weights

In this paper we develop a perturbation approach to investigate spectral problems for singular ordinary differential operators with indefinite weight functions. We prove a general perturbation result on the local spectral properties of selfadjoint operators in Krein spaces which differ only by finitely many dimensions from the orthogonal sum of a fundamentally reducible operator and an operator with finitely many negative squares. This result is applied to singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators and higher order singular ordinary differential operators with indefinite weight functions.     

Approximation by means of piecewise linear functions

In the present paper we use piecewise linear functions in order to obtain representations and estimates for the remainder in approximating continuous functions by positive linear operators. Applications of these results for Bernstein and Stancu’s operators are also presented. In addition, we give some partial results concerning the best constant problem for Bernstein operators with respect to the second order modulus of continuity.     

Approximation properties of modified Gamma operators

In this paper we present a survey of rates of pointwise approximation of modified Gamma operators Gn for locally bounded functions and absolutely continuous functions by using some inequalities and results of probability theory with the method of Bojanic-Cheng. In the paper a kind of locally bounded functions is introduced with different growth conditions in the fields of both ends of interval (0,+∞), and it is found out that the operators have different properties compared to the Gamma operators discussed in [X.M. Zeng, Approximation properties of Gamma operators, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 311 (2005) 389-401]. And we obtain two main theorems. Theorem 1 gives an estimate for locally bounded functions which subsumes the approximation of functions of bounded variation as a special case. Theorem 2 gives an estimate for absolutely continuous functions which is best possible in the asymptotical sense.     

Approximation of functions of two variables by certain linear positive operators

We introduce certain linear positive operators and study some approximation properties of these operators in the space of functions, continuous on a compact set, of two variables. We also find the order of this approximation by using modulus of continuity. Moreover we define an rth order generalization of these operators and observe its approximation properties. Furthermore, we study the convergence of the linear positive operators in a weighted space of functions of two variables and find the rate of this convergence using weighted modulus of continuity.     

Reconstruction of Baskakov operators preserving some exponential functions

The present paper deals with a new modification of Baskakov operators in which the functions exp(μt) and exp(2μt), μ>0 are preserved. Approximation properties of the operators are captured, ie, uniform convergence and rate of convergence of the operators in terms of modulus of continuity, approximation behaviors of the operators exponential weighted spaces, and pointwise convergence of the operators by means of the Voronovskaya theorem. Advantages of the operators for some special functions are presented.     

Differentialoperatoren bei partiellen Differentialgleichungen

Summary In the present paper those formally hyperbolic differential equations are characterized for which solutions can be represented by means of differential operators acting on holomorphic functions. This is done by a necessary and sufficient condition on the coefficients of the differential equation. These operators are determined simultaneously. By it a general procedure is presented to construct differential equations and corresponding differential operators which map holomorphic functions onto solutions of the differential equations. We also discuss the question under which circumstances all the solutions of a differential equation can be represented by differential operators. For the equations characterized previously we determine the Riemann function. Some special classes of differential equations are investigated in detail. Furthermore the possibility of a representation of pseudoanalytic functions and the corresponding Vekua resolvents by differential operators is discussed.
