On fractional maximal function and fractional integral on the Laguerre hypergroup

Let be the Laguerre hypergroup which is the fundamental manifold of the radial function space for the Heisenberg group. In this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters for the boundedness of the fractional maximal operator and the fractional integral operator on the Laguerre hypergroup from the spaces to the spaces and from the spaces to the weak spaces .     

Weak and point-wise convergence in for filter convergence

We study those filters on for which weak -convergence of bounded sequences in C(K) is equivalent to point-wise -convergence. We show that it is sufficient to require this property only for C[0,1] and that the filter-analogue of the Rainwater extremal test theorem arises from it. There are ultrafilters which do not have this property and under the continuum hypothesis there are ultrafilters which have it. This implies that the validity of the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem for -convergence is more restrictive than the property which we study.     

Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities in regular Orlicz spaces involving nonlinear expressions

We consider a triple of N-functions (M,H,J) that satisfy the Δ^′-condition, and suppose that an additive variant of interpolation inequality holds

where , is an arbitrary set invariant with respect to external and internal dilations. We show that the above inequality implies its certain nonlinear variant involving the expressions and . Various generalizations of this inequality to the more general class of N-functions, measures and to higher order derivatives are also discussed and the examples are presented.     

Improved variance estimation under sub-space restriction

For the linear regression model , we assume that for a given positive definite scale matrix , the error vector has a multivariate normal distribution and has the inverted Wishart distribution. For under an orthogonal sub-space restriction , we propose restricted unbiased, preliminary test and Stein-type estimators of variance of the error term, for when the scale of the inverse Wishart distribution is assumed to be unknown. We compare the weighted quadratic risks of the underlying estimators and propose dominance pictures for them.     

Finitely additive representation of spaces

Let be any atomless and countably additive probability measure on the product space with the usual σ-algebra. Then there is a purely finitely additive probability measure λ on the power set of a countable subset such that can be isometrically isomorphically embedded as a closed subspace of L^p(λ). The embedding is strict. It is also ‘canonical,’ in the sense that it maps simple and continuous functions on to their restrictions to T.     

Oscillation of second-order damped dynamic equations on time scales

The study of dynamic equations on time scales has been created in order to unify the study of differential and difference equations. The general idea is to prove a result for a dynamic equation where the domain of the unknown function is a so-called time scale, which may be an arbitrary closed subset of the reals. This way results not only related to the set of real numbers or set of integers but those pertaining to more general time scales are obtained. In this paper, by employing the Riccati transformation technique we will establish some oscillation criteria for second-order linear and nonlinear dynamic equations with damping terms on a time scale . Our results in the special case when and extend and improve some well-known oscillation results for second-order linear and nonlinear differential and difference equations and are essentially new on the time scales , h>0, for q>1, , etc. Some examples are considered to illustrate our main results.     

Approximation of Sobolev classes by polynomials and ridge functions

Let be the usual Sobolev class of functions on the unit ball in , and be the subclass of all radial functions in . We show that for the classes and , the orders of best approximation by polynomials in coincide. We also obtain exact orders of best approximation in of the classes by ridge functions and, as an immediate consequence, we obtain the same orders in for the usual Sobolev classes .     

Analyticity of functions analytic on circles

Let Δ be the open unit disc in, let pbΔ, and let f be a continuous function on which extends holomorphically from each circle in centered at the origin and from each circle in which passes through p. Then f is holomorphic on Δ.     

Limits of small functors

For a small category enriched over a suitable monoidal category , the free completion of under colimits is the presheaf category . If is large, its free completion under colimits is the -category of small presheaves on , where a presheaf is small if it is a left Kan extension of some presheaf with small domain. We study the existence of limits and of monoidal closed structures on .     

There's something about the diameter

We study diameter preserving linear bijections from onto where X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces and V, Z are Banach spaces. For instance, we obtain that if X has at least four points, Z is linearly isometric to V and either Z is a space or Z^* is strictly convex or smooth, then there is a diameter preserving linear bijection from onto if and only if X is homeomorphic to Y. We also consider the case when X and Y are not compact but locally compact spaces.     

Lattices generated by orbits of subspaces under finite singular pseudo-symplectic groups I

Let be the (2ν+1+l)-dimensional vector space over the finite field . In the paper we assume that is a finite field of characteristic 2, and the singular pseudo-symplectic groups of degree 2ν+1+l over . Let be any orbit of subspaces under . Denote by the set of subspaces which are intersections of subspaces in and the intersection of the empty set of subspaces of is assumed to be . By ordering by ordinary or reverse inclusion, two lattices are obtained. This paper studies the inclusion relations between different lattices, a characterization of subspaces contained in a given lattice , and the characteristic polynomial of .     

Polynomial-time approximation schemes for piercing and covering with applications in wireless networks

Let be a set of disks of arbitrary radii in the plane, and let be a set of points. We study the following three problems: (i) Assuming contains the set of center points of disks in , find a minimum-cardinality subset of (if exists), such that each disk in is pierced by at least h points of , where h is a given constant. We call this problem minimum h-piercing. (ii) Assuming is such that for each there exists a point in whose distance from D's center is at most αr(D), where r(D) is D's radius and 0α<1 is a given constant, find a minimum-cardinality subset of , such that each disk in is pierced by at least one point of . We call this problem minimum discrete piercing with cores. (iii) Assuming is the set of center points of disks in , and that each covers at most l points of , where l is a constant, find a minimum-cardinality subset of , such that each point of is covered by at least one disk of . We call this problem minimum center covering. For each of these problems we present a constant-factor approximation algorithm (trivial for problem (iii)), followed by a polynomial-time approximation scheme. The polynomial-time approximation schemes are based on an adapted and extended version of Chan's [T.M. Chan, Polynomial-time approximation schemes for packing and piercing fat objects, J. Algorithms 46 (2003) 178–189] separator theorem. Our PTAS for problem (ii) enables one, in practical cases, to obtain a (1+ε)-approximation for minimum discrete piercing (i.e., for arbitrary ).     

Inheritance of hyper-duality in imprimitive Bose–Mesner algebras

We prove the following result concerning the inheritance of hyper-duality by block and quotient Bose–Mesner algebras associated with a hyper-dual pair of imprimitive Bose–Mesner algebras. Let and denote Bose–Mesner algebras. Suppose there is a hyper-duality ψ from the subconstituent algebra of with respect to p to the subconstituent algebra of with respect to . Also suppose that is imprimitive with respect to a subset of Hadamard idempotents, so is dual imprimitive with respect to the subset of primitive idempotents, where is the formal duality associated with ψ. Let denote the block Bose–Mesner algebra of on the block containing p, and let denote the quotient Bose–Mesner algebra of with respect to . Then there is a hyper-duality from the subconstituent algebra of with respect to p to the subconstituent algebra of with respect to .     

Spaces of holomorphic functions in regular domains

Let Ω be a regular domain in the complex plane , . Let be the linear space over of the holomorphic functions f in Ω such that f⁽ⁿ⁾ is bounded in Ω and is continuously extendible to the closure of Ω, n=0,1,2,… . We endow , in a natural manner, with a structure of Fréchet space and we obtain dense subspaces F of , with good topological linear properties, also satisfying that each function f of F, distinct from zero, does not extend holomorphically outside Ω.     

All-derivable points in continuous nest algebras

Let be an operator algebra on a Hilbert space. We say that an element is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology if every strong operator topology continuous derivable linear mapping φ at G (i.e. φ(ST)=φ(S)T+Sφ(T) for any with ST=G) is a derivation. Let be a continuous nest on a complex and separable Hilbert space H. We show in this paper that every orthogonal projection operator P(M) () is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology.     

Regularity results for the gradient of solutions of a class of linear elliptic systems with data

We prove that if a vector-function f belongs to the Morrey space , with , n≥3, N≥2, λ]0,n−2], and u is the solution of the system

then Du belongs to the space , for any , provided the matrix of bounded measurable coefficients (A_ij) has sufficiently small dispersion of the eigenvalues.     

Formal extension and quotients of the invariant holonomic system

Let be a semisimple Lie algebra and a Cartan subalgebra of . Fix . Let be the invariant holonomic system (see [R. Hotta, M. Kashiwara, The invariant holonomic system on a semisimple Lie algebra, Invent. Math. 75 (1984) 327–358]). First we investigate its formal extension . In the sequel we calculate the characteristic variety of some simple quotients of and its Fourier transform .     

-structure on the deformation complex of a morphism

-structure is shown to exist on the deformation complex of a morphism of associative algebras. The main step of the construction is the extension of a -algebra by an associative algebra. Actions of -algebras on associative and -algebras are analyzed; extensions of -algebras by associative and -algebras that they act upon are constructed. The resulting -algebra on the deformation complex of a morphism is shown to be quasi-isomorphic to the -algebra on the deformation complex of the corresponding diagram algebra.     

On the sizes of Delaunay meshes

Let be a polyhedral domain occupying a convex volume. We prove that the size of a graded mesh of with bounded vertex degree is within a factor of the size of any Delaunay mesh of with bounded radius-edge ratio. The term depends on the geometry of and it is likely a small constant when the boundaries of are fine triangular meshes. There are several consequences. First, among all Delaunay meshes with bounded radius-edge ratio, those returned by Delaunay refinement algorithms have asymptotically optimal sizes. This is another advantage of meshing with Delaunay refinement algorithms. Second, if no input angle is acute, the minimum Delaunay mesh with bounded radius-edge ratio is not much smaller than any minimum mesh with aspect ratio bounded by a particular constant.     

Generalized rough approximations in

In this paper we will treat a generalization of inner and outer approximations of fuzzy sets, which we will call -inner and -outer approximations respectively ( being any finite set of rational numbers in [0,1]). In particular we will discuss the case of those fuzzy sets which are definable in the logic by means of step functions from the hypercube [0,1]^k and taking value in an arbitrary (finite) subset of . Then, we will show that if a fuzzy set is definable as truth table of a formula of , then both its -inner and -outer approximation are definable as truth table of formulas of . Finally, we will introduce a generalization of abstract approximation spaces and compare our approach with the notion of fuzzy rough set.
