Holomorphic liftings and Bergman kernel estimates for 𝒟ℱ𝒩‐domains

Let E be a 𝒟ℱ𝒩‐space and let U ⊂ E be open. By applying the nuclearity of the Fréchet space ℋ︁(U) of holomorphic functions on U we show that there are finite measures μ on U leading to Bergman spaces of μ ‐square integrable holomorphic functions. We give an explicit construction for μ by using infinite dimensional Gaussian measures. Moreover, we prove boundary estimates for the corresponding Bergman kernels K_μ on the diagonal and we give an application of our results to liftings of μ ‐square integrable Banach space valued holomorphic functions over U.

Relatively Recursively Enumerable Versus Relatively Σ1 in Models of Peano Arithmetic

We show that that every countable model of PA has a conservative extension M with a subset Y such that a certain Σ₁(Y)-formula defines in M a subset which is not r. e. relative to Y.     

The wi‐club filter on 𝒫κ λ

We develop the theory of C_{κ, λ}ⁱ, a strongly normal filter over ??_κ λ for Mahlo κ. We prove a minimality result, showing that any strongly normal filter containing {x ∈ ??_κ λ: |x | = |x ∩ κ | and |x | is inaccessible} also contains C_{κ, λ}ⁱ. We also show that functions can be used to obtain a basis for C_{κ, λ}ⁱ (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Time decay rate for two 3D magnetohydrodynamics‐ α models

We consider the long time behavior of solutions to the magnetohydrodynamics‐ α model in three spatial dimensions. Time decay rate in L²‐norm of the solution is obtained. Similar results for a generalized Leray‐ α‐magnetohydrodynamics model are also established. As a by‐product, an optimal time decay rate for the Navier–Stokes‐ α model is achieved.

Intuitionistic ϵ- and τ-calculi

There are several open problems in the study of the calculi which result from adding either of Hilbert's ?- or τ-operators to the first order intuitionistic predicate calculus. This paper provides answers to several of them. In particular, the first complete and sound semantics for these calculi are presented, in both a “quasi-extensional” version which uses choice functions in a straightforward way to interpret the ?- or τ-terms, and in a form which does not require extensionality assumptions. Unlike the classical case, the addition of either operator to intuitionistic logic is non-conservative. Several interesting consequences of the addition of each operator are proved. Finally, the independence of several other schemes in either calculus are also proved, making use of the semantics supplied earlier in the paper.     

On effective σ‐boundedness and σ‐compactness

We prove several dichotomy theorems which extend some known results on σ‐bounded and σ‐compact pointsets. In particular we show that, given a finite number of $\Delta ^{1}_{1}$ equivalence relations $\mathrel {\mathsf {F}}_1,\dots ,\mathrel {\mathsf {F}}_n$, any $\Sigma ^{1}_{1}$ set A of the Baire space either is covered by compact $\Delta ^{1}_{1}$ sets and lightface $\Delta ^{1}_{1}$ equivalence classes of the relations $\mathrel {\mathsf {F}}_i$, or A contains a superperfect subset which is pairwise $\mathrel {\mathsf {F}}_i$‐inequivalent for all i = 1, …, n. Further generalizations to $\Sigma ^{1}_{2}$ sets A are obtained.     

All λ‐Designs with Small λ are Type‐1

A λ‐design is a family of subsets of such that for all and not all are of the same size. Ryser's and Woodall's λ‐design conjecture states that each λ‐design can be obtained from a symmetric block design by a certain complementation procedure. Our main result is that the conjecture is true when λ < 63. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Combin. Designs 20: 408–431, 2012     

Minimal extensions of Π01 classes

A minimal extension of a Π⁰₁ class P is a Π⁰₁ class Q such that P ? Q, Q – P is infinite, and for any Π⁰₁ class R, if P ? R ? Q, then either R – P is finite or Q – R is finite; Q is a nontrivial minimal extension of P if in addition P and Q′ have the same Cantor‐Bendixson derivative. We show that for any class P which has a single limit point A, and that point of degree ≤ 0 , P admits a nontrivial minimal extension. We also show that as long as P is infinite, then P does not admit any decidable nontrivial minimal extension Q. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

On approximating the nearest Ω‐stable matrix

In this paper, we consider the problem of approximating a given matrix with a matrix whose eigenvalues lie in some specific region Ω of the complex plane. More precisely, we consider three types of regions and their intersections: conic sectors, vertical strips, and disks. We refer to this problem as the nearest Ω‐stable matrix problem. This includes as special cases the stable matrices for continuous and discrete time linear time‐invariant systems. In order to achieve this goal, we parameterize this problem using dissipative Hamiltonian matrices and linear matrix inequalities. This leads to a reformulation of the problem with a convex feasible set. By applying a block coordinate descent method on this reformulation, we are able to compute solutions to the approximation problem, which is illustrated on some examples.     

Hilbert's ϵ-operator in intuitionistic type theories

We investigate Hilbert's ?-calculus in the context of intuitionistic type theories, that is, within certain systems of intuitionistic higher-order logic. We determine the additional deductive strength conferred on an intuitionistic type theory by the adjunction of closed ?-terms. We extend the usual topos semantics for type theories to the ?-operator and prove a completeness theorem. The paper also contains a discussion of the concept of “partially defined” ?-term.

Exceptions and characterization results for type‐1 λ‐designs

Let $X$ be a finite set with $v$ elements, called points and $\beta$ be a family of subsets of $X$, called blocks. A pair $\left(X,\beta \right)$ is called $\lambda$‐design whenever $\mid \beta \mid =\mid X\mid$ and

• 1. for all $B_i,B_j\in \beta ,i\ne j,\mid B_i\cap B_j\mid =\lambda$;
• 2. for all $B_j\in \beta ,\mid B_j\mid =k_j>\lambda$, and not all $k_j$ are equal.

The only known examples of $\lambda$‐designs are so‐called type‐1 designs, which are obtained from symmetric designs by a certain complementation procedure. Ryser and Woodall had independently conjectured that all $\lambda$‐designs are type‐1. Let $r,r^{*}?(r>r^{*})$ be replication numbers of a $\lambda$‐design $D=\left(X,\beta \right)$ and $g=\text{gcd}\left(r?1,r^{*}?1\right),m=\text{gcd}\left(\left(r?r^{*}\right)∕g,\lambda \right)$, and $m\prime =m$, if $m$ is odd and $m\prime =m∕2$, otherwise. For distinct points $x$ and $y$ of $D$, let $\lambda \left(x,y\right)$ denote the number of blocks of $X$ containing $x$ and $y$. We strengthen a lemma of S.S. Shrikhande and N.M. Singhi and use it to prove that if $\frac{r\left(r?1\right)}{\left(v?1\right)}?\frac{k\left(r?r^{*}\right)}{m\prime \left(v?1\right)}$ are not integers for $k=1,2,\text{…},m\prime ?1$, then $D$ is type‐1. As an application of these results, we show that for fixed positive integer $\theta$ there are finitely many nontype‐1 $\lambda$‐designs with $r=r^{*}+\theta$. If $r?r^{*}=27$ or $r?r^{*}=4p$ and $r^{*}\ne {\left(p?1\right)}^2$, or $v=7p+1$ such that $p?1,13\left(\mathrm{mod}21\right)$ and $p?4,9,19,24\left(\mathrm{mod}35\right)$, where $p$ is a positive prime, then $D$ is type‐1. We further obtain several inequalities involving $\lambda (x,y)$, where equality holds if and only if D is type‐1.     

The spectrum of BSA(v, 3, λ; α) with α = 2,3

In this article, a kind of auxiliary design BSA^* for constructing BSAs is introduced and studied. Two powerful recursive constructions on BSAs from 3‐IGDDs and BSA^*s are exploited. Finally, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a BSA(v, 3, λ; α) with α = 2, 3 are established. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 15: 61–76, 2007     

Fixed points of (α,ψ)‐contractions in Hausdorff partial metric spaces

The concept of (α,ψ)‐contractions was introduced by Samet et al. in this paper, we introduce (α,ψ)‐generalized contractions in a Hausdorff partial metric space. We discuss its significance and obtain some common fixed point theorems for a pair of self‐mappings. Some examples are given to support the theory.     

Local well‐posedness and zero‐α limit for the Euler‐α equations

We also establish the convergence rate of the solutions of the Euler‐α equations to the corresponding solutions of the Euler equations as the regularization parameter α approaches 0 in .

σ‐short Boolean algebras

We introduce properties of Boolean algebras which are closely related to the existence of winning strategies in the Banach‐Mazur Boolean game. A σ‐short Boolean algebra is a Boolean algebra that has a dense subset in which every strictly descending sequence of length ω does not have a nonzero lower bound. We give a characterization of σ‐short Boolean algebras and study properties of σ‐short Boolean algebras. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
