Finite Blaschke product and the multiplication operators on Sobolev disk algebra

Let R(D) be the algebra generated in Sobolev space W22(D) by the rational functions with poles outside the unit disk D. In this paper the multiplication operators Mg on R(D) is studied and it is proved that Mg ～ Mzn if and only if g is an n-Blaschke product. Furthermore, if g is an n-Blaschke product, then Mg has uncountably many Banach reducing subspaces if and only if n > 1.     

Robust characterizations of k‐wise independence over product spaces and related testing results

A discrete distribution D over Σ₁ ×··· ×Σ_n is called (non‐uniform) k ‐wise independent if for any subset of k indices {i₁,…,i_k} and for any z₁∈Σ,…,z_k∈Σ, Pr_X～D[X···X = z₁···z_k] = Pr_X～D[X = z₁]···Pr_X～D[X = z_k]. We study the problem of testing (non‐uniform) k ‐wise independent distributions over product spaces. For the uniform case we show an upper bound on the distance between a distribution D from k ‐wise independent distributions in terms of the sum of Fourier coefficients of D at vectors of weight at most k. Such a bound was previously known only when the underlying domain is {0,1}ⁿ. For the non‐uniform case, we give a new characterization of distributions being k ‐wise independent and further show that such a characterization is robust based on our results for the uniform case. These results greatly generalize those of Alon et al. (STOC'07, pp. 496–505) on uniform k ‐wise independence over the Boolean cubes to non‐uniform k ‐wise independence over product spaces. Our results yield natural testing algorithms for k ‐wise independence with time and sample complexity sublinear in terms of the support size of the distribution when k is a constant. The main technical tools employed include discrete Fourier transform and the theory of linear systems of congruences.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2013     

A limiting distribution for the number of cuts needed to isolate the root of a random recursive tree

Let X_n be the number of cuts needed to isolate the root in a random recursive tree with n vertices. We provide a weak convergence result for X_n. The basic observation for its proof is that the probability distributions of are recursively defined by , where D_n is a discrete random variable with ? , which is independent of . This distributional recursion was not studied previously in the sense of weak convergence. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2009

Entropy Numbers in Weighted Function Spaces and Eigenvalue Distributions of Some Degenerate Pseudodifferential Operators II

This paper is the continuation of [17]. We investigate mapping and spectral properties of pseudodifferential operators of type Ψ with χ χ ? ? and 0 ≤ γ ≤ 1 in the weighted function spaces B (?ⁿ, w(x)) and F (?ⁿ, w(x)) treated in [17]. Furthermore, we study the distribution of eigenvalues and the behaviour of corresponding root spaces for degenerate pseudodifferential operators preferably of type b₂(x) b(x, D) b₁(x), where b₁(x) and b₂(x) are appropriate functions and b(x, D) ? Ψ. Finally, on the basis of the Birman-Schwinger principle, we deal with the “negative spectrum” (bound states) of related symmetric operators in L₂.

On the Problem of Maximizing the Product of Powers of Conformal Radii Nonoverlapping Domains

A sharp estimate of the product

The cardinality of certain -orthogonal exponentials

The self-affine measures μ_M,D corresponding to the case (i) M=pI₃, D={0,e₁,e₂,e₃} in the space and the case (ii) M=pI₂, D={0,e₁,e₂,e₁+e₂} in the plane are non-spectral, where p>1 is odd, I_n is the n×n identity matrix, and e₁,…,e_n are the standard basis of unit column vectors in . One of the non-spectral problem on μ_M,D is to estimate the number of orthogonal exponentials in L²(μ_M,D) and to find them. In the present paper we show that, in both cases (i) and (ii), there are at most 4 mutually orthogonal exponentials in L²(μ_M,D) each, and the number 4 is the best.     

Global bounded weak solutions to a degenerate quasilinear chemotaxis system with rotation

This paper deals with the quasilinear Keller–Segel system with rotation where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, D(u) is supposed to be sufficiently smooth and satisfies D(u)≥D₀u^{m ? 1}(m≥1) and D(u)≤D₁(u + 1)^{K ? m}u^{m ? 1}(K≥1) for all u≥0 with some positive constants D₀ and D₁, and f(u) is assumed to be smooth enough and non‐negative for all u≥0 and f(0) = 0, while S(u,v,x) = (s_ij)_{n × n} is a matrix with and with l≥2, where is nondecreasing on [0,∞). It is proved that when , the system possesses at least one global and bounded weak solution for any sufficiently smooth non‐negative initial data. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Fractional Modified Dyadic Integral and Derivative on ℝ<Subscript>+</Subscript>

For functions in the Lebesgue space L(ℝ₊), a modified strong dyadic integral J _α and a modified strong dyadic derivative D ^(α) of fractional order α > 0 are introduced. For a given function f ∈ L(ℝ₊), criteria for the existence of these integrals and derivatives are obtained. A countable set of eigenfunctions for the operators J _α and D ^(α) is indicated. The formulas D ^(α)(J ^α(f)) = f and J _α(D ^(α)(f)) = f are proved for each α > 0 under the condition that . We prove that the linear operator is unbounded, where is the natural domain of J _α. A similar statement for the operator is proved. A modified dyadic derivative d ^(α)(f)(x) and a modified dyadic integral j _α(f)(x) are also defined for a function f ∈ L(ℝ₊) and a given point x ∈ ℝ₊. The formulas d ^(α)(J _α(f))(x) = f(x) and j _α(D ^(α)(f)) = f(x) are shown to be valid at each dyadic Lebesgue point x ∈ ℝ₊ of f.__________Translated from Funktsional’nyi Analiz i Ego Prilozheniya, Vol. 39, No. 2, pp. 64–70, 2005Original Russian Text Copyright © by B.

Generalized herglotz domains

Let F(θ k, α) be the far field pattern arising from the scattering of a time harmonic plane acoustic wave of wave number k and direction a by a sound-soft cylinder of cross section D. Suppose F has the Fourier expansion where a_n = a_n(k, . Then if ?² is a Dirichlet eigenvalue for D, sufficient conditions are given on D for the existence of a nontrivial sequence |b_n| where the b_n are independent of such that for all directions Domains for which this is true are called generalized Herglotz domains. The conditions for a domain to be a generalized Herglotz domain are given either in terms of the Schwarz function for the analytic boundary ?D or in terms of the Rayleigh hypothesis in acoustic scattering theory and examples are given showing the applicability of these conditions.     

Supercritical biharmonic elliptic problems in domains with small holes

Let D be a bounded and smooth domain in R^N, N ≥ 5, P ∈ D. We consider the following biharmonic elliptic problemin Ω = D \B_δ (P), with p supercritical, namely . We find a sequence of resonant exponents such that if is given, with p ≠ p_j for all j, then for all δ > 0 sufficiently small, this problem is solvable (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Ore‐type degree conditions for a graph to be H‐linked

Given a fixed multigraph H with V(H) = {h₁,…, h_m}, we say that a graph G is H‐linked if for every choice of m vertices v₁, …, _vm in G, there exists a subdivision of H in G such that for every i, v_i is the branch vertex representing h_i. This generalizes the notion of k‐linked graphs (as well as some other notions). For a family of graphs, a graph G is ‐linked if G is H‐linked for every . In this article, we estimate the minimum integer r = r(n, k, d) such that each n‐vertex graph with is ‐linked, where is the family of simple graphs with k edges and minimum degree at least . © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Solution of a conjecture of Volkmann on longest paths through an arc in strongly connected in‐tournaments

An in‐tournament is an oriented graph such that the negative neighborhood of every vertex induces a tournament. Let m = 4 or m = 5 and let D be a strongly connected in‐tournament of order such that each arc belongs to a directed path of order at least m. In 2000, Volkmann showed that if D contains an arc e such that the longest directed path through e consists of exactly m vertices, then e is the only arc of D with that property. In this article we shall see that this proposition is true for , thereby validating a conjecture of Volkmann. Furthermore, we prove that if we ease the restrictions on the order of D to , the in‐tournament D in question has at most two such arcs. In doing so, we also give a characterization of the in‐tournaments with exactly two such arcs. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 60: 130–148, 2009

The dependence on parameters of the modulus problem for families of several classes of curves

Let, where A={a₁,..., a_n} and B={b₁,...,b_m} are systems of distinguished points, and let H be a family of homotopic classes H_i, i=1, ..., j + m, of closed Jordan curves in C, where the classes H_j+, =1, ..., m, consist of curves that are homotopic to a point curve in b. Let ={₁,...,_j+m} be a system of positive numbers. By P=P(,A,B) we denote the extremal-metric problem for the family H and the numbers : for the modulusU=U(,A,B) of this problem we have the equality , whereD ^*={D ₁ ^* ,...,D _j+m ^* } is a system of domains realizinga maximum for the indicated sum in the family of all systemsD={D ₁,...,D _j+m } of domains, associated with the family H (byU(D _i )) we denote the modulus of the domain D_i, associated with the class H_i). In the present paper we investigate the manner in whichU=U(,A,B) and the moduliU=(D ₁ ^* ) depend on the parameters _i, a_k, b; moreover, we consider the conditions under which some of the doubly connected domains D _i ^* ,i=1,...,j, from the system D^* turn out to be degenerate (Theorems 1–3). In particular, one obtains an expression for the gradient of the function M, as function of the parameter a=a_k (Theorem 4). One gives some applications of the obtained results (Theorem 5).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Push-outs of derivations

Let be a Banach algebra and let X be a Banach -bimodule. In studying (,X) it is often useful to extend a given derivation D: → X to a Banach algebra containing as an ideal, thereby exploiting (or establishing) hereditary properties. This is usually done using (bounded/unbounded) approximate identities to obtain the extension as a limit of operators b ↦ D(ba) − b.D(a), a ε in an appropriate operator topology, the main point in the proof being to show that the limit map is in fact a derivation. In this paper we make clear which part of this approach is analytic and which algebraic by presenting an algebraic scheme that gives derivations in all situations at the cost of enlarging the module. We use our construction to give improvements and shorter proofs of some results from the literature and to give a necessary and sufficient condition that biprojectivity and biflatness is inherited to ideals.
