Intersections of nest algebras in finite dimensions

If are maximal nests on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space H, the dimension of the intersection of the corresponding nest algebras is at least dim H. On the other hand, there are three maximal nests whose nest algebras intersect in the scalar operators. The dimension of the intersection of two nest algebras (corresponding to maximal nests) can be of any integer value from n to n(n+1)/2, where n=dim H. For any two maximal nests there exists a basis {f₁,f₂,…,f_n} of H and a permutation π such that and where M_i=  span{f₁,f₂,…,f_i} and N_i= span{f_π(1),f_π(2),…,f_π(i)}. The intersection of the corresponding nest algebras has minimum dimension, namely dim H, precisely when π(j)=n−j+1,1jn. Those algebras which are upper-triangular matrix incidence algebras, relative to some basis, can be characterised as intersections of certain nest algebras.     

L2-approximation of real-valued functions with interpolatory constraints

We construct the polynomial p_m,n^* of degree m which interpolates a given real-valued function f L²[a, b] at pre-assigned n distinct nodes and is the best approximant to f in the L₂-sense over all polynomials of degree m with the same interpolatory character. It is shown that the L₂-error p_m,n^* − f → 0 as m → ∞ if f C[a, b].     

A characterization on n-critical economical generalized tic-tac-toe games

There is a so called generalized tic-tac-toe game playing on a finite set X with winning sets A₁, A₂,…, A_m. Two players, F and S, take in turn a previous untaken vertex of X, with F going first. The one who takes all the vertices of some winning set first wins the game. Erd s and Selfridge proved that if |A₁|=|A₂|==|A_m|=n and m<2ⁿ⁻¹, then the game is a draw. This result is best possible in the sense that once m=2ⁿ⁻¹, then there is a family A₁, A₂,…, A_m so that F can win. In this paper we characterize all those sets A₁,…, A_2n−1 so that F can win in exactly n moves. We also get similar result in the biased games.     

Almost perfect matchings in random uniform hypergraphs

We consider the following model H_r(n, p) of random r-uniform hypergraphs. The vertex set consists of two disjoint subsets V of size | V | = n and U of size | U | = (r − 1)n. Each r-subset of V × (_r−1^U) is chosen to be an edge of H ε H_r(n, p) with probability p = p(n), all choices being independent. It is shown that for every 0 < < 1 if P = (C ln n)/n^r−1 with C = C() sufficiently large, then almost surely every subset V₁ V of size | V₁ | = (1 − )n is matchable, that is, there exists a matching M in H such that every vertex of V₁ is contained in some edge of M.     

Embeddings of the base and bundle isomorphisms

Let π_i :E_i→M, i=1,2, be oriented, smooth vector bundles of rank k over a closed, oriented n-manifold with zero sections s_i :M→E_i. Suppose that U is an open neighborhood of s₁(M) in E₁ and F :U→E₂ a smooth embedding so that π₂Fs₁ :M→M is homotopic to a diffeomorphism f. We show that if k>[(n+1)/2]+1 then E₁ and the induced bundle f^*E₂ are isomorphic as oriented bundles provided that f have degree +1; the same conclusion holds if f has degree −1 except in the case where k is even and one of the bundles does not have a nowhere-zero cross-section. For n≡0(4) and [(n+1)/2]+1<kn we give examples of nonisomorphic oriented bundles E₁ and E₂ of rank k over a homotopy n-sphere with total spaces diffeomorphic with orientation preserved, but such that E₁ and f^*E₂ are not isomorphic oriented bundles. We obtain similar results and counterexamples in the more difficult limiting case where k=[(n+1)/2]+1 and M is a homotopy n-sphere.     

New constructions of divisible designs

A construction is given for a (p^2a(p+1),p²,p^2a+1(p+1),p^2a+1,p^2a(p+1)) (p a prime) divisible difference set in the group H×Z²_pa+1 where H is any abelian group of order p+1. This can be used to generate a symmetric semi-regular divisible design; this is a new set of parameters for λ₁≠0, and those are fairly rare. We also give a construction for a (p^a−1+p^a−2+…+p+2,p^a+2, p^a(p^a+p^a−1+…+p+1), p^a(p^a−1+…+p+1), p^a−1(p^a+…+p²+2)) divisible difference set in the group H×Z_p2×Z^a_p. This is another new set of parameters, and it corresponds to a symmetric regular divisible design. For p=2, these parameters have λ₁=λ₂, and this corresponds to the parameters for the ordinary Menon difference sets.     

MEROMORPHIC FUNCTIONS SHARING TWO FINITE SETS

Let S1 ＝ {∞} and S2 ＝ {w: Ps(w)＝ 0}, Ps(w) being a uniqueness polynomial under some restricted conditions. Then, for any given nonconstant meromorphic function f, there exist at most finitely many nonconstant meromorphic functions g such that f-1(Si) ＝ g-1(Si)(i ＝ 1,2), where f-1(Si) and g-1(Si) denote the pull-backs of Si considered as a divisor, namely, the inverse images of Si counted with multiplicities, by f and g respectively.     

A C finite element method for an inverse problem

A C⁰ finite element method is presented for an inverse problem in which the coefficient in the differential operator is to be determined from the measurement of the solution of a boundary value problem. The unknown in the inverse problem is approximated by a minimizer of a cost function that includes both the output error and equation error. Error estimates in a weighted H⁻¹ norm and L² are given. Numerical examples are presented to show features of the method.     

On the surface viscosity at the boundary between phases

The equations of motion of the interphase boundary are considered. It is shown that the conditions at the surface separating the phases obtained in /1, 2/ by different methods, are identical. The study of the dynamics of the fluid-fluid interface was initiated by Bussinesq /3/ who postulated a linear relationship between the surface stress tensor T_β and the strain rate tensor S_β, assigning two viscosity coefficients to the surface, the dilatation coefficient k (the analog of volume viscosity) and the two-dimensional shear viscosity . In the three-dimensional coordinate system two of whose axes u¹ and usu2 coincide with the axes of any coordinate system at the surface and whose third axis u³ is perpendicular to the surface, his results have the form Tβ = [γ + (k - )θ]a_β + S_β , θ = a^βS_β, V_{, β} = r_{. β} — v_sb_β,      

On generalized Boolean functions II

This cycle of papers is based on the concept of generalized Bolean functions introduced by the author in the first article of the series. Every generalized Boolean function f:Bⁿ→B can be written in a manner similar to the canonical disjunctive form using some function defined on A×B, where A is a finite subset of B containing 0 and 1. The set of those functions f is denoted by GBF_n[A]. In this paper the following questions are presented: (1) What is the relationship between GBF_n[A₁] and GBF_n[A₂] when A₁A₂. (2) What can be said about GBF_n[A₁∩A₂] and GBF_n[A₁A₂] in comparison with GBF_n[A₁]∩GBF_n[A₂] and GBF_n[A₁]GBF_n[A₂], respectively.     

On the fourth power moment of Fourier coefficients of cusp form

Let a(n)be the Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form of weightκ=2n≥12 for the full modular group and A(x)=∑_(n≤x)a(n).In this paper,we establish an asymptotic formula of the fourth power moment of A(x)and prove that ∫T1A~4(x)dx=3/(64κπ~4)s_4;2()T~(2κ)+O(T~(2κ-δ_4+ε))with δ_4=1/8,which improves the previous result.     

Enumeration of irreducible binary words

Overlap free words over two letters are called irreducible binary words. Let d(n) denote the number of irreducible binary words of length n. In this paper we show that there are positive constants C₁ and C₂ such that C₁n^1.155<d(n)<C₂n^1.587 holds for all n>0.     

On the complex zeros of Hμ(z), J(z), J(z) for real or complex order

Propositions about the nonexistence of complex zeros of the functions H_μ(z)=J_μ(z)+zJ^′_μ(z),J^′_μ(z),J^″_μ(z), where J^′_μ(z) and J^″_μ(z) are the first two derivatives of the Bessel functions J_μ(z), for μ in general complex are proved. Bounds for the purely imaginary zeros of the above functions assuming their existence are given. Thus for the range of values for which these bounds are violated there are no purely imaginary zeros of the above functions. Finally, some known results from previous work are generalized in the present paper.     

A note on linearization of actions of finitely semisimple Hopf algebras on local algebras

Let H be a Hopf algebra over a field k and let H A → A, h a → h.a, be an action of H on a commutative local Noetherian kalgebra (A, m). We say that this action is linearizable if there exists a minimal system x₁, …, x_n of generators of the maximal ideal m such that h.x_i ε kx₁ + …+ kx_n for all h ε H and i = 1, …, n. In the paper we prove that the actions from a certain class are linearizable (see Theorem 4), and we indicate some consequences of this fact.     

H least-squares method for the velocity–pressure–stress formulation of Stokes equations

This paper studies the discrete H⁻¹-norm least-squares method for the incompressible Stokes equations based on the velocity–pressure–stress formulation by the least-squares functional defined as the sum of L²-norms and H⁻¹-norm of the residual equations. Some computational experiments by multigrid method and preconditioning conjugate gradient method (PCGM) on this method are shown by taking efficient and β in the discrete solution operator T_h=h²I+βB_h corresponding to the minus one norm. We also propose a new method and compare it with PCGM and multigrid method through the analysis of numerical experiments depending on the choice of β.     

Asymptotic bounds for some bipartite graph: complete graph Ramsey numbers

The Ramsey number r(H,K_n) is the smallest integer N so that each graph on N vertices that fails to contain H as a subgraph has independence number at least n. It is shown that r(K_2,m,K_n)(m−1+o(1))(n/log n)² and r(C_2m,K_n)c(n/log n)^m/(m−1) for m fixed and n→∞. Also r(K_2,n,K_n)=Θ(n³/log² n) and .     

Harnack Differential Inequalities for the Parabolic Equation ut=LF(u) on Riemannian Manifolds and Applications

In this paper, let(M~n, g) be an n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with the mdimensional Bakry–mery Ricci curvature bounded below. By using the maximum principle, we first prove a Li–Yau type Harnack differential inequality for positive solutions to the parabolic equation u_t= LF(u)=ΔF(u)-f·F(u),on compact Riemannian manifolds Mn, where F∈C~2(0, ∞), F0 and f is a C~2-smooth function defined on M~n. As application, the Harnack differential inequalities for fast diffusion type equation and porous media type equation are derived. On the other hand, we derive a local Hamilton type gradient estimate for positive solutions of the degenerate parabolic equation on complete Riemannian manifolds. As application, related local Hamilton type gradient estimate and Harnack inequality for fast dfiffusion type equation are established. Our results generalize some known results.     

On neighborhood condition for graphs to have [a,b]-factors

Let G be a graph of order n, and let a and b be integers such that 1a<b. Let δ(G) be the minimum degree of G. Then we prove that if δ(G)(k−1)a, n(a+b)(k(a+b)−2)/b, and |N_G(x₁)N_G(x₂)N_G(x_k)|an/(a+b) for any independent subset {x₁,x₂,…,x_k} of V(G), where k2, then G has an [a,b]-factor. This result is best possible in some sense.     

How many maxima can there be?

Let C be a planar region. Choose n points p₁,,p_nI.I.D. from the uniform distribution over C. Let M^C_n be the number of these points that are maximal. If C is convex it is known that either E(M^C_n)=Θ(√n)> or E(M^C_n)=O(log n). In this paper we will show that, for general C, there is very little that can be said, a-priori, about E(M^C_n). More specifically we will show that if g is a member of a large class of functions then there is always a region C such that E(M^C_n)=Θ(g(n)). This class contains, for example, all monotically increasing functions of the form g(n)= nln^βn, where 0<<1 and β0. This class also contains nondecreasing functions like g(n)=ln^*n. The results in this paper remain valid in higher dimensions.     

Solution to an extremal problem on bigraphic pairs with a <Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis><Subscript>3</Subscript>-connected realization

Let S=(a₁,...,a_m; b₁,...,b_n), where a₁,...,a_m and b₁,...,b_n are two nonincreasing sequences of nonnegative integers. The pair S=(a₁,...,a_m; b₁,...,b_n) is said to be a bigraphic pair if there is a simple bipartite graph G=(X ∪ Y, E) such that a₁,...,a_m and b₁,...,b_n are the degrees of the vertices in X and Y, respectively. Let Z₃ be the cyclic group of order 3. Define σ(Z₃, m, n) to be the minimum integer k such that every bigraphic pair S=(a₁,...,a_m; b₁,...,b_n) with a_m, b_n ≥ 2 and σ(S)=a₁ +... + a_m ≥ k has a Z₃-connected realization. For n=m, Yin[Discrete Math., 339, 2018-2026 (2016)] recently determined the values of σ(Z₃, m, m) for m ≥ 4. In this paper, we completely determine the values of σ(Z₃, m, n) for m ≥ n ≥ 4.
