Spaces with fibered approximation property in dimension <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>

A metric space M is said to have the fibered approximation property in dimension n (briefly, M ∈ FAP(n)) if for any ɛ > 0, m ≥ 0 and any map g: $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^m × $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ⁿ → M there exists a map g′: $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^m × $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ⁿ → M such that g′ is ɛ-homotopic to g and dim g′ ({z} × $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ⁿ ) ≤ n for all z ∈ $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^m . The class of spaces having the FAP(n)-property is investigated in this paper. The main theorems are applied to obtain generalizations of some results due to Uspenskij [11] and Tuncali-Valov [10].     

Wavelet approximation and Fourier widths of classes of periodic functions of several variables. I

We obtain characterizations (and prove the corresponding equivalence of norms) of function spaces B _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) and L _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) of Nikol’skii-Besov and Lizorkin-Triebel types, respectively, in terms of representations of functions in these spaces by Fourier series with respect to a multiple system $ \mathcal{W}_m^\mathbb{I} $ \mathcal{W}_m^\mathbb{I} of Meyer wavelets and in terms of sequences of the Fourier coefficients with respect to this system. We establish order-sharp estimates for the approximation of functions in B _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ) and L _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) by special partial sums of these series in the metric of L _r ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) for a number of relations between the parameters s, p, q, r, and m (s = (s ₁, ..., s _n ) ∈ ℝ₊ ⁿ , 1 ≤ p, q, r ≤ ∞, m = (m ₁, ..., m _n ) ∈ ℕ ⁿ , k = m ₁ +... + m _n , and $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} = ℝ or $ \mathbb{T} $ \mathbb{T} ). In the periodic case, we study the Fourier widths of these function classes.     

Distortio n theorems o n the Lie ball $$ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $$ ( n) i n ℂ n

In this paper, we introduce the subfamilies H _m ($ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n)) of holomorphic mappings defined on the Lie ball $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n) which reduce to the family of holomorphic mappings and the family of locally biholomorphic mappings when m = 1 and m → +∞, respectively. Various distortion theorems for holomophic mappings H _m ($ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n)) are established. The distortion theorems coincide with Liu and Minda’s as the special case of the unit disk. When m = 1 and m → +∞, the distortion theorems reduce to the results obtained by Gong for $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n), respectively. Moreover, our method is different. As an application, the bounds for Bloch constants of H _m ($ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n)) are given.     

Dual Riemannian spaces of constant curvature on a normalized hypersurface

In this paper, the following results are obtained: 1) It is proved that, in the fourth order differential neighborhood, a regular hypersurface V _n−1 embedded into a projective-metric space K _n , n ≥ 3, intrinsically induces a dual projective-metric space $ \bar K_n $ \bar K_n . 2) An invariant analytical condition is established under which a normalization of a hypersurface V _n−1 ⊂ K _n (a tangential hypersurface $ \bar V_{n - 1} $ \bar V_{n - 1} ⊂ $ \bar K_n $ \bar K_n ) by quasitensor fields H _n ⁱ , H _i ($ \bar H_n^i $ \bar H_n^i , $ \bar H_i $ \bar H_i ) induces a Riemannian space of constant curvature. If the two conditions are fulfilled simultaneously, the spaces R _n−1 and $ \bar R_{n - 1} $ \bar R_{n - 1} are spaces of the same constant curvature $ K = - \tfrac{1} {c} $ K = - \tfrac{1} {c} . 3) Geometric interpretations of the obtained analytical conditions are given.     

On the sharp Jackson-Nikol’skii inequality for algebraic polynomials on a multidimensional Euclidean sphere

The best constant C _n,m in the Jackson-Nikol’skii inequality between the uniform and integral norms of algebraic polynomials of a given total degree n ≥ 0 on the unit sphere $ \mathbb{S}^{m - 1} $ \mathbb{S}^{m - 1} of the Euclidean space ℝ ^m is studied. Two-sided estimates for the constant C _n,m are obtained, which, in particular, give the order n ^m−1 of its behavior with respect to n as n → +∞ for a fixed m.     

Boundedness and compactness of the embedding between spaces with multiweighted derivatives when 1 ⩽ <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis> < <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> < ∞

We consider a new Sobolev type function space called the space with multiweighted derivatives $ W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n $ W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n , where $ \bar \alpha $ \bar \alpha = (α ₀, α ₁,…, α _n ), α _i ∈ ℝ, i = 0, 1,…, n, and $ \left\| f \right\|W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n = \left\| {D_{\bar \alpha }^n f} \right\|_p + \sum\limits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} {\left| {D_{\bar \alpha }^i f(1)} \right|} $ \left\| f \right\|W_{p,\bar \alpha }^n = \left\| {D_{\bar \alpha }^n f} \right\|_p + \sum\limits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} {\left| {D_{\bar \alpha }^i f(1)} \right|} ,

Linear maps that strongly preserve regular matrices over the Boolean algebra

The set of all m × n Boolean matrices is denoted by $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _m,n . We call a matrix A ∈ $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _m,n regular if there is a matrix G ∈ $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _n,m such that AGA = A. In this paper, we study the problem of characterizing linear operators on $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _m,n that strongly preserve regular matrices. Consequently, we obtain that if min{m, n} ⩽ 2, then all operators on $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _m,n strongly preserve regular matrices, and if min{m, n} ⩾ 3, then an operator T on $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _m,n strongly preserves regular matrices if and only if there are invertible matrices U and V such that T(X) = UXV for all X ε $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _m,n , or m = n and T(X) = UX ^T V for all X ∈ $ \mathbb{M} $ \mathbb{M} _n .     

Strict topology over the space of measures with continuous translations on a locally compact foundation semigroup

Let $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} be a locally compact semigroup, ω be a weight function on $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , and M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) be the weighted semigroup algebra of $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} . Let L ₀^∞ ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} ; M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)) be the C*-algebra of all M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)-measurable functions g on $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} such that g/ω vanishes at infinity. We introduce and study a strict topology β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) on M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) and show that the Banach space L ₀^∞ ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} ; M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)) can be identified with the dual of M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) endowed with β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω). We finally investigate some properties of the locally convex topology β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) on M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω).     

Isometric immersions into warped product spaces

This paper concerns the submanifold geometry in the ambient space of warped productmanifolds F^n×σ R, this is a large family of manifolds including the usual space forms R^m, S^m and H^m. We give the fundamental theorem for isometric immersions of hypersurfaces into warped product space R^n×σ R, which extends this kind of results from the space forms and several spaces recently considered by Daniel to the cases of infinitely many ambient spaces.     

Rigidity of minimal submanifolds with flat normal bundle

Let M ⁿ (n ≥ 3) be an n-dimensional complete immersed $ \frac{{n - 2}} {n} $ \frac{{n - 2}} {n} -super-stable minimal submanifold in an (n + p)-dimensional Euclidean space ℝ ^n+p with flat normal bundle. We prove that if the second fundamental form of M satisfies some decay conditions, then M is an affine plane or a catenoid in some Euclidean subspace.     

Global solutions of the evolutionary Faddeev model with small initial data

We consider the Cauchy problem for evolutionary Faddeev model corresponding to maps from the Minkowski space ℝ¹⁺ⁿ to the unit sphere $ \mathbb{S} $ \mathbb{S} ², which obey a system of non-linear wave equations. The nonlinearity enjoys the null structure and contains semi-linear terms, quasi-linear terms and unknowns themselves. We prove that the Cauchy problem is globally well-posed for sufficiently small initial data in Sobolev space.     

Analogues of Horn’s theorem for finite unions of starshaped sets in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis></Superscript>

Fix k, d, 1 ≤ k ≤ d + 1. Let $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} be a nonempty, finite family of closed sets in ℝ ^d , and let L be a (d − k + 1)-dimensional flat in ℝ ^d . The following results hold for the set T ≡ ∪{F: F in $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} }. Assume that, for every k (not necessarily distinct) members F ₁, …, F _k of $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} ,∪{F _i : 1 ≤ i ≤ k} is starshaped and the corresponding kernel contains a translate of L. Then T is starshaped, and its kernel also contains a translate of L.     

Descriptive set-theoretical properties of an abstract density operator

Let $ \mathcal{K} $ \mathcal{K} (ℝ) stand for the hyperspace of all nonempty compact sets on the real line and let d ^±(x;E) denote the (right- or left-hand) Lebesgue density of a measurable set E ⊂ ℝ at a point x∈ ℝ. In [3] it was proved that

Stabilization for the vibrations modeled by the ‘standard linear model’ of viscoelasticity

We study the stabilization of vibrations of a flexible structure modeled by the ‘standard linear model’ of viscoelasticity in a bounded domain in ℝ ⁿ with a smooth boundary. We prove that amplitude of the vibrations remains bounded in the sense of a suitable norm in a space $ \mathbb{X} $ \mathbb{X} , defined explicitly in (22) subject to a restriction on the uncertain disturbing forces on $ \mathbb{X} $ \mathbb{X} . We also estimate the total energy of the system over time interval [0, T] for any T > 0, with a tolerance level of the disturbances. Finally, when the input disturbances are insignificant, uniform exponential stabilization is obtained and an explicit form for the energy decay rate is derived. These results are achieved by a direct method under undamped mixed boundary conditions.     

On holomorphic solutions of some inhomogeneous linear differential equations in a banach space over a non-archimedean field

Let A be a closed linear operator on a Banach space $ \mathfrak{B} $ \mathfrak{B} over the field Ω of complex p-adic numbers having an inverse operator defined on the whole $ \mathfrak{B} $ \mathfrak{B} , and f be a locally holomorphic at 0 $ \mathfrak{B} $ \mathfrak{B} -valued vector function. The problem of existence and uniqueness of a locally holomorphic at 0 solution of the differential equation y ^(m) − Ay = f is considered in this paper. In particular, it is shown that this problem is solvable under the condition $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \sqrt[n]{{\left\| {A^{ - n} } \right\|}} $ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \sqrt[n]{{\left\| {A^{ - n} } \right\|}} = 0. It is proved also that if the vector-function f is entire, then there exists a unique entire solution of this equation. Moreover, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cauchy problem for such an equation to be correctly posed in the class of locally holomorphic functions are presented.     

On rigidity of Clifford torus in a unit sphere

We extend the scalar curvature pinching theorems due to Peng-Terng, Wei-Xu and Suh-Yang. Let M be an n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurface in S n+1 satisfying Sf 4 f_3~2 ≤ 1/n S~3 , where S is the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M, and f_k =sum λ_i~k from i and λ_i (1 ≤ i ≤ n) are the principal curvatures of M. We prove that there exists a positive constant δ(n)(≥ n/2) depending only on n such that if n ≤ S ≤ n + δ(n), then S ≡ n, i.e., M is one of the Clifford torus S~k ((k/n)~1/2 ) ×S~...     

On the homology groups of arrangements of complex planes of codimension two

In the study of two-dimensional compact toric varieties, there naturally appears a set of coordinate planes of codimension two $ Z = {*{20}c} \cup \\ {1 < \left| {i - j} \right| < d - 1} \\ \{ z_i = z_j = 0\} $ Z = \begin{array}{*{20}c} \cup \\ {1 < \left| {i - j} \right| < d - 1} \\ \end{array} \{ z_i = z_j = 0\} in ℂ ^d . Based on the Alexander-Pontryagin duality theory, we construct a cycle that is dual to the generator of the highest dimensional nontrivial homology group of the complement in ℂ ^d of the set of planes Z. We explicitly describe cycles that generate groups H _d+2(ℂ ^d \ Z) and H _d−3($ \bar Z $ \bar Z ), where $ \bar Z $ \bar Z = Z ∪ {∞}.
