Parabolic Differential Equations in Ordered Banach Spaces of Bounded Functions

Let A be a set, and let E be the Banach space of bounded functions : A R, equipped with its natural order. With a rectangle R = (a,b) × (0,T] let F(x,t,) : R × E E be a bounded, continuous function satisfying a local Hölder condition and being quasimonotone increasing with respect to . Then there exists a solution u: [a,b] × [0,T] E of the problem ut(x,t) – uxx(x,t) = F(x,t,u(x,t)) ((x,t) R), u(x,t) = 0 ((x,t) R R).

Design of manufacturing systems using queueing models

Design issues in various types of manufacturing systems such as flow lines, automatic transfer lines, job shops, flexible machining systems, flexible assembly systems and multiple cell systems are addressed in this paper. Approaches to resolving these design issues of these systems using queueing models are reviewed. In particular, we show how the structural properties that are recently derived for single and multiple stage queueing systems can be used effectively in the solution of certain design optimization problems.Supported in part by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada via Operating and Strategic Grants on Modeling and Analyses of Production Systems and Modeling and Implementation of Just-in-Time Cells.Supported in part by the NSF Grants ECS-8811234 and DDM-9113008 and by Sloan Foundation Grants for the Consortium for Competitiveness and Cooperation and for the study on Competitive Semiconductor Manufacturing.     

On the asymptotic behaviour of first passage times for transient random walk

Summary Let _x denote the time at which a random walk with finite positive mean first passes into (x, ), wherex0. This paper establishes the asymptotic behaviour of Pr { _x >n} asn for fixedx in two cases. In the first case the left hand tail of the step-distribution is regularly varying, and in the second the step-distribution satisfies a one-sided Cramér type condition. As a corollary, it follows that in the first case Pr { _x >n}/Pr{ ₀ >n} coincides with the limit of the same quantity for recurrent random walk satisfying Spitzer's condition, but in the second case the limit is more complicated.     

A Generalization of the Hausdorff-Young Theorem

Considering mixed-norm sequence spaces lp,q, p, q 1, C. N. Kellogg proved the following theorem: if 1 < p 2 then lp,2 and lp,2 , where 1/p + 1/p = 1. This result extends the Hausdorff-Young Theorem.We introduce here multiple mixed-norm sequence spaces , examine their properties and characterize the multipliers of spaces of the form lp,[s;n],q, with the index s repeated n times. By an interpolation-type argument we prove that (l,[2;n],2, lp,[1;n],1) for 1 < p 2. Using these results we obtain a further generalization of the Hausdorff-Young Theorem: if 1 < p 2 then lp,[2;n] and lp,[2;n] for each n = 0, 1, 2, ¨. The spaces lp,[2;n] decrease and lp,[2;n] increase properly with n for 1 < p < 2 and 1/p + 1/p = 1. We also extend a theorem of J. H. Hedlund on multiplers of Hardy spaces and deduce other results.     

Circularity of Finite Groups without Fixed Points

Let be a fixed point free group given by the presentation where and are relative prime numbers, t = /s and s = gcd( – 1,), and is the order of modulo . We prove that if (1) = 2, and (2) is embeddable into the multiplicative group of some skew field, then is circular. This means that there is some additive group N on which acts fixed point freely, and |((a)+b)((c)+d)| 2 whenever a,b,c,d N, a0c, are such that (a)+b(c)+d.     

Weight functions on the Kneser graph and the solution of an intersection problem of Sali

LetX, Y be finite sets and suppose thatF is a collection of pairs of sets (F, G),FX,GY satisfying |FF|s, |GG|t and |FF|+|GG|s+t+1 for all (F, G),F, GF. Extending a result of Sali, we determine the maximum ofF.     

Upper classes for the increments of the fractional Wiener process

We investigate the a.s. asymptotic behaviour of the incrementsI(t, a (t))=max{X{u+a(t))–X(u): 0ut–a(t)} (and some others that are similarly defined) ast.     

Stabilization of ill-posed Cauchy problems for parabolic equations

Summary In this paper we study the noncharacteristic Cauchy problem, u_t–(a(x)u_x)_x=0, x(0, l), t.(0, T], u(0, t)=(t), u_x(0,t)=0, 0tT, assuming only L for a. In the case of weak a priori bounds on u, we derive stability estimates on u of Hölder type in the interior and of logarithmic type at the boundary. Also the continuous dependence on a is considered.

Sunto Nel presente lavoro consideriamo il problema di Cauchy non ben posto u_t= (a(x)u_x)_x, x(0, l), t(0, T), u(0, t)=(t), u_x(0, t)=0, 0tT. Supponiamo che a sia misurabile e limitato inferiormente e superiormente da constanti positive. Introduciamo delle limitazioni a priori su u e dimostriamo la dipendenza continua di u rispetto al dato sia in (0, l)×(0, T) (di tipo hölderiano) sia per x=l (di tipo logaritmico). Consideriamo, inoltre, la dipendenza continua di u da a.

     

Limiting behavior of weighted central paths in linear programming

We study the limiting behavior of the weighted central paths{(x(), s())} > 0 in linear programming at both = 0 and = . We establish the existence of a partition (B ,N ) of the index set { 1, ,n } such thatx _i() ands _j () as fori B , andj N , andx _N (),s _B () converge to weighted analytic centers of certain polytopes. For allk 1, we show that thekth order derivativesx ^(k) () ands ^(k) () converge when 0 and . Consequently, the derivatives of each order are bounded in the interval (0, ). We calculate the limiting derivatives explicitly, and establish the surprising result that all higher order derivatives (k 2) converge to zero when .     

Fields with vanishing K2. Torsion in H1(X,K2) and Ch2(x)

This paper describes fields F of nonzero characteristic with the property that for all finite extensions E/F K₂E=0. We consider a somewhat wider class of fields which includes finite and separably closed fields. For smooth projective varieties X over such a field we show that the groups H¹(X, K₂){} and H²(X_et, (2)), NH³(X_et, (2)) and Ch²(X){} are isomorphic. These results are applied to describe the groups SK₁ of a smooth affine curve over such a field.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V.

On the Projections of Multivalued Maps

This paper considers analogues of the Helmholtz projections of the set of selections of a piecewise smooth multivalued map , n2. It is shown that, for mn–1 (m=1), the closure of the projection of on the subspace of gradient fields (solenoidal vector fields) is a convex set. For the general case, there are given point-wise conditions on the values of the map which ensure that the closure of the projection of contains the zero element. Possible applications to optimal control problems are discussed.     

About generalized ideals in a distributive lattice

The note considers convex sublattices of L, called generalized ideals of L generated by the operation (, ,). Some remarks have been stated about the graph of a distributive lattice.     

Stability and uniqueness of the solution of the inverse kinematic problem of seismology in higher dimensions

The following inverse kinematic problem of seismology is considered. In the compact domain M of dimension ,2 with the metric, we consider the problem of constructing a new metricdu=nds according to the known formula where ,M and K_, is the geodesic in the metric du, connecting the points , . One proves uniqueness and one obtains a stability estimate, where the refraction indices n₁, n₂ are the solutions of the inverse kinematic problem, constructed relative to the functions ₁, ₂, respectively, is the differential form on M×Mwhere =₂–₁,.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Automorphic functions and the Bass-Milnor-Serre homomorphism,I

Let v=[exp2i/3], let q=(3) be an ideal in v and let SL_m(v,q) be the congruence subgroup modq in SL_m(v). For the solution of the congruence subgroup problem, Bass, Milnor, and Serre have constructed (making use of the properties of the symbol of cubic residue) a homomorphism :SL_m(v,q)^*. We consider here as a system of multipliers. The fundamental object of investigation is the Eisenstein series on SL₃()/Su(3) automorphic relative to SL₃(v,q) with the system of multipliers . For this Eisenstein series one has computed certain coefficients of the expansion with respect to the basis indicated in the author's paper: The expansion of automorphic functions on SL₃()/Su(3), Zap.

Characterization of regular singular linear systems of difference equations

This paper deals with linear systems of difference equations whose coefficients admit generalized factorial series representations atz=. We are concerned with the behavior of solutions near the pointz= (the only fixed singularity for difference equations). It is important to know whether a system of linear difference equations has a regular singularity or an irregular singularity. To a given system () we can assign a number , called the Moser's invariant of (), so that the system is regular singular if and only if 1. We shall develop an algorithm, implementable in a computer algebra system, which reduces in a finite number of steps the system of difference equations to an irreducible form. The computation ot the number can be done explicitly from this irreducible form.     

Some extensions of the Hewitt-Savage zero-one law

Summary Let denote the class of infinite product probability measures = ₁× ₂× defined on an infinite product of replications of a given measurable space (X, A), and let denote the subset of for which (A) =0 or 1 for each permutation invariant event A. Previous works by Hewitt and Savage, Horn and Schach, Blum and Pathak, and Sendler (referenced in the paper) discuss very restrictive sufficient conditions under which a given member , of belongs to . In the present paper, the class is shown to possess several closure properties. E.g., if and _{0 n} for some n 1, then ₀× ₁× ₂×.... While the current results do not permit a complete characterization of they demonstrate conclusively that is a much larger subset of than previous results indicated. The interesting special case X={0,1} is discussed in detail.Research supported by the National Science Foundation under grant No. MCS75-07556
