Equations différentielles invariantes sur les groupes et algèbres de Lie réductifs II

Dans un article précédent, nous avons démontré que si D est un opérateur différentiel bi-invariant sur un groupe réductif G vérifiant la condition de Benabdallah-Rouvière, alors on peut résoudre l’équation différentielle Du=v dans l'espace des distributions G-invariantes (par automorphismes intérieurs) d'ordre fini; nous allons montrer ici que, sous la même hypothèse, on peut résoudre cette équation dans l'espace de toutes les distributions G-invariantes. D'autre part, nous donnons un exemple dans qui montre que les équations différentielles invariantes dans les algèbres de Lie réductives ne sont pas toujours résolubles dans l'espace des fonctions indéfiniment différentiables invariantes.     

Sur la caractéristique d'Euler des feuilletages mesurés

On prouve que la caractéristique d'Euler d'un feuilletage mesuré est nulle si et seulement si celui-ci admet un champ tangent transversalement mesurable dont l'ensemble de singularités est de mesure arbitrairement petite. Si le feuilletage est moyennable, alors on peut construire un tel champ sans singularités. Si les feuilles sont de dimension deux, l'annulation de la caractéristique d'Euler implique la moyennabilité ; plus encore, elle équivaut à l'existence d'une action mesurable de R² sur la variété ambiant qui est continue et localement libre sur chaque feuille.     

The Segal-Bargmann transform for Lévy white noise functionals associated with non-integrable Lévy processes

By using a method of truncation, we derive the closed form of the Segal-Bargmann transform of Lévy white noise functionals associated with a Lévy process with the Lévy spectrum without the moment condition. Besides, a sufficient and necessary condition to the existence of Lévy stochastic integrals is obtained.     

On tronquée solutions of the first Painlevé hierarchy

It is well known that, due to Boutroux, the first Painlevé equation admits solutions characterized by divergent asymptotic expansions near infinity in specified sectors of the complex plane. In this paper, we show that such solutions exist for higher order analogues of the first Painlevé equation (the first Painlevé hierarchy) as well.     

Dual bases for Wang-Bézier basis and their applications

This paper presents the dual bases for Wang-Bézier curves with a position parameter L, which include Bézier curve, Wang-Ball curve and some intermediate curves. The Marsden identity and the transformation formulas from Bézier curve to Wang-Bézier curve are also given. These results are useful for the application of Wang-Bézier curve and their popularization in Computer Aided Geometric Design.     

Optimal control and dependence modeling of insurance portfolios with Lévy dynamics

In this paper we are interested in optimizing proportional reinsurance and investment policies in a multidimensional Lévy-driven insurance model. The criterion is that of maximizing exponential utility. Solving the classical Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation yields that the optimal retention level keeps a constant amount of claims regardless of time and the company’s wealth level.A special feature of our construction is to allow for dependencies of the risk reserves in different business lines. Dependence is modeled via an Archimedean Lévy copula. We derive a sufficient and necessary condition for an Archimedean Lévy generator to create a multidimensional positive Lévy copula in arbitrary dimension.Based on these results we identify structure conditions for the generator and the Lévy measure of an Archimedean Lévy copula under which an insurance company reinsures a larger fraction of claims from one business line than from another.     

Approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces

An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface as the elevated degree tends to infinity. The polynomial triangular surface is constructed as follows. Firstly, we elevate the degree of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface, then a polynomial triangular Bézier surface is produced, which has the same order and new control points of the degree-elevated rational surface. The approximation method has theoretical significance and application value: it solves two shortcomings-fussy expression and uninsured convergence of the approximation-of Hybrid algorithms for rational polynomial curves and surfaces approximation.     

An algorithm for computing a Padé approximant with minimal degree denominator

In this paper, a new definition of a reduced Padé approximant and an algorithm for its computation are proposed. Our approach is based on the investigation of the kernel structure of the Toeplitz matrix. It is shown that the reduced Padé approximant always has nice properties which the classical Padé approximant possesses only in the normal case. The new algorithm allows us to avoid the appearance of Froissart doublets induced by computer roundoff in the non-normal Padé table.     

Lyapunov conditions for Super Poincaré inequalities

We show how to use Lyapunov functions to obtain functional inequalities which are stronger than Poincaré inequality (for instance logarithmic Sobolev or F-Sobolev). The case of Poincaré and weak Poincaré inequalities was studied in [D. Bakry, P. Cattiaux, A. Guillin, Rate of convergence for ergodic continuous Markov processes: Lyapunov versus Poincaré, J. Funct. Anal. 254 (3) (2008) 727-759. Available on Mathematics arXiv:math.PR/0703355, 2007]. This approach allows us to recover and extend in a unified way some known criteria in the euclidean case (Bakry and Emery, Wang, Kusuoka and Stroock, …).     

Carleson embeddings and some classes of operators on weighted Bergman spaces

We prove Carleson-type embedding theorems for weighted Bergman spaces with Békollé weights. We use this to study properties of Toeplitz-type operators, integration operators and composition operators acting on such spaces. In particular, we investigate the membership of these operators to Schatten class ideals.     

Approximate Bézier curves by cubic LN curves

In order to derive the offset curves by using cubic Bézier curves with a linear field of normal vectors (the so-called LN Bézier curves) more efficiently, three methods for approximating degree n Bézier curves by cubic LN Bézier curves are considered, which includes two traditional methods and one new method based on Hausdorff distance. The approximation based on shifting control points is equivalent to solving a quadratic equation, and the approximation based on L₂ norm is equivalent to solving a quartic equation. In addition, the sufficient and necessary condition of optimal approximation based on Hausdorff distance is presented, accordingly the algorithm for approximating the degree n Bézier curves based on Hausdorff distance is derived. Numerical examples show that the error of approximation based on Hausdorff distance is much smaller than that of approximation based on shifting control points and L₂ norm, furthermore, the algorithm based on Hausdorff distance is much simple and convenient.

An extension of the Bézier model

In this paper, we first construct a new kind of basis functions by a recursive approach. Based on these basis functions, we define the Bézier-like curve and rectangular Bézier-like surface. Then we extend the new basis functions to the triangular domain, and define the Bernstein-Bézier-like surface over the triangular domain. The new curve and surfaces have most properties of the corresponding classical Bézier curve and surfaces. Moreover, the shape parameter can adjust the shape of the new curve and surfaces without changing the control points. Along with the increase of the shape parameter, the new curve and surfaces approach the control polygon or control net. In addition, the evaluation algorithm for the new curve and triangular surface are provided.     

Théorème de Merle: cas des 1-formes de type courbes généralisées

Resumé Cet article contribue à l'étude des 1-formes holomorphes de type courbes généralisées. Nous observons que deux 1-formes de type courbes généralisées ayant les mêmes séparatrices partagent certaines propriétés. Nous en déduisons que dans le cas d'une unique séparatrice, son type topologique est déterminé par ses invariants polaires. Nous commençons donc par étendre la notion d'invariant polaire aux 1-formes holomorphes de type courbes généralisées. Nous étudions ensuite le polygone de Newton d'une 1-forme holomorphe pour mesurer le contact de la séparatrice d'une 1-forme holomorphe de type courbe généralisée avec ses courbes polaires. Nous terminons la preuve par une formule à la Plücker.     

On the best constant of weighted Poincaré inequalities

We compute the optimal constant for some weighted Poincaré inequalities obtained by Fausto Ferrari and Enrico Valdinoci in [F. Ferrari, E. Valdinoci, Some weighted Poincaré inequalities, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 58 (4) (2009) 1619-1637].     

Harnack inequalities for stochastic equations driven by Lévy noise

By using coupling argument and regularization approximations of the underlying subordinator, dimension-free Harnack inequalities are established for a class of stochastic equations driven by a Lévy noise containing a subordinate Brownian motion. The Harnack inequalities are new even for linear equations driven by Lévy noise, and the gradient estimate implied by our log-Harnack inequality considerably generalizes some recent results on gradient estimates and coupling properties derived for Lévy processes or linear equations driven by Lévy noise. The main results are also extended to semilinear stochastic equations in Hilbert spaces.     

Sur un théorème de P. Lelong pour les fonctions solutions d'une équation aux dérivées partielles elliptique

L'objet principal de ce travail est de généraliser un résultat de P. Lelong d'après lequel certaines fonctions analytiques de deux groupes variables réelles sont analytiques pour l'ensemble des variables. On se restreindra aux fonctions solutions d'une équation aux dérivées partielles elliptique à coefficients constants. Pour cela on introduit une fonction extrémale, associée à ces fonctions, qui paraît posséder certaines similitudes avec la fonction extrémale plurisousharmonique classique.     

Triangular Bézier sub-surfaces on a triangular Bézier surface

This paper considers the problem of computing the Bézier representation for a triangular sub-patch on a triangular Bézier surface. The triangular sub-patch is defined as a composition of the triangular surface and a domain surface that is also a triangular Bézier patch. Based on de Casteljau recursions and shifting operators, previous methods express the control points of the triangular sub-patch as linear combinations of the construction points that are constructed from the control points of the triangular Bézier surface. The construction points contain too many redundancies. This paper derives a simple explicit formula that computes the composite triangular sub-patch in terms of the blossoming points that correspond to distinct construction points and then an efficient algorithm is presented to calculate the control points of the sub-patch.     

Is an Orlicz–Poincaré inequality an open ended condition,and what does that mean?

In [16], Keith and Zhong prove that spaces admitting Poincaré inequalities also admit a priori stronger Poincaré inequalities. We use their technique, with slight adjustments, to obtain a similar result in the case of Orlicz–Poincaré inequalities. We give examples in the plane that show all hypotheses are required.
