A remark on the existence of suitable vector fields related to the dynamics of scalar semi-linear parabolic equations

In 1992, P. Polácik showed that one could linearly imbed any vector field into a scalar semi-linear parabolic equation on with Neumann boundary condition provided that there exists a smooth vector field on such that

In this short paper, we give a classification of all the domains on which one may find such a type of vector field.

     

Small deviations of weighted fractional processes and average non-linear approximation

We investigate the small deviation problem for weighted fractional Brownian motions in -norm, . Let be a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index . If , then our main result asserts

provided the weight function satisfies a condition slightly stronger than the -integrability. Thus we extend earlier results for Brownian motion, i.e. , to the fractional case. Our basic tools are entropy estimates for fractional integration operators, a non-linear approximation technique for Gaussian processes as well as sharp entropy estimates for -sums of linear operators defined on a Hilbert space.

On a semilinear double fractional heat equation driven by fractional Brownian sheet

In this paper, we consider the stochastic heat equation of the form $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=(\Delta_\alpha+\Delta_\beta)u+\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(t,x,u)+\frac{\partial^2W}{\partial t\partial x},$$ where $1<\beta<\alpha< 2$, $W(t,x)$ is a fractional Brownian sheet, $\Delta_\theta:=-(-\Delta)^{\theta/2}$ denotes the fractional Lapalacian operator and $f:[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a nonlinear measurable function. We introduce the existence, uniqueness and H\"older regularity of the solution. As a related question, we consider also a large deviation principle associated with the above equation with a small perturbation via an equivalence relationship between Laplace principle and large deviation principle.     

Semi-finite forms of bilateral basic hypergeometric series

We show that several classical bilateral summation and transformation formulas have semi-finite forms. We obtain these semi-finite forms from unilateral summation and transformation formulas. Our method can be applied to derive Ramanujan's summation, Bailey's transformations, and Bailey's summation.

Poly-log diameter bounds for some families of finite groups

Fix a prime and an integer with . Define the family of finite groups

for . We will prove that there exist two positive constants and such that for any and any generating set ,

when is the diameter of the finite group with respect to the set of generators . It is defined as the maximum over of the length of the shortest word in representing .

This result shows that these families of finite groups have a poly-logarithmic bound on the diameter with respect to any set of generators. The proof of this result also provides an efficient algorithm for finding such a poly-logarithmic representation of any element.

     

Some upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian

Let be the th Neumann eigenvalue of a bounded domain with piecewisely smooth boundary in . In 1992, P. Kröger proved that , where the upper bound is sharp in view of Weyl's asymptotic formula. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we will improve this estimate by multiplying a factor in terms of to its right-hand side which approaches strictly from below to 1 as tends to infinity. Second, we will generalize Kröger's estimate to the case when is a compact Euclidean submanifold.

On the construction of frames for Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces

We present a general method for construction of frames for Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces, whose nature can be prescribed. In particular, our method allows for constructing frames consisting of rational functions or more general functions which are linear combinations of a fixed (small) number of shifts and dilates of a single smooth and rapidly decaying function such as the Gaussian . We also study the boundedness and invertibility of the frame operator on Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the dual system to be a frame as well.

On a complete analysis of high-energy scattering matrix asymptotics for one dimensional Schrödinger operators with integrable potentials

For the general one dimensional Schrödinger operator with real we present a complete streamlined treatment of large spectral parameter power asymptotics of Jost solutions and the scattering matrix. We find simple necessary and sufficient conditions relating the number of exact terms in the asymptotics with the smoothness of . These conditions are expressed in terms of the Fourier transform of some functions related to . In particular, under the usual conditions we derive up to two extra terms in the asymptotic expansion of the Jost solution and for the transmission coefficient we derive twice as many terms. Our main results are complete.

Phase transitions of iterated Higman-style well-partial-orderings

We elaborate Weiermann-style phase transitions for well-partial-orderings (wpo) determined by iterated finite sequences under Higman-Friedman style embedding with Gordeev’s symmetric gap condition. For every d-times iterated wpo ${\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d}\right)}$ in question, d >? 1, we fix a natural extension of Peano Arithmetic, ${T \supseteq \sf{PA}}$ , that proves the corresponding second-order sentence ${\sf{WPO}\left({\rm S}{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d}\right) }$ . Having this we consider the following parametrized first-order slow well-partial-ordering sentence ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d}, r\right):}$ $$\left( \forall K > 0 \right) \left( \exists M > 0\right) \left( \forall x_{0},\ldots ,x_{M}\in {\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}\right)$$ $$\left( \left( \forall i\leq M\right) \left( \left| x_{i}\right| < K + r \left\lceil \log _{d} \left( i+1\right) \right\rceil \right)\rightarrow \left( \exists i < j \leq M \right) \left(x_{i} \trianglelefteq _{d} x_{j}\right) \right)$$ for a natural additive Seq ^d -norm |·| and r ranging over EFA-provably computable positive reals, where EFA is an abbreviation for IΔ ₀?+?exp. We show that the following basic phase transition clauses hold with respect to ${T = \Pi_{1}^{0}\sf{CA}_{ < \varphi ^{_{\left( d-1\right) }} \left(0\right) }}$ and the threshold point1.

1. If r <? 1 then ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d},r \right) }$ is provable in T.

1. If ${r > 1}$ then ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d},r \right) }$ is not provable in T.

Moreover, by the well-known proof theoretic equivalences we can just as well replace T by PA or ACA ₀ and ${\Delta _{1}^{1}\sf{CA}}$ , if d =? 2 and d =? 3, respectively.In the limit case d → ∞ we replaceEFA-provably computable reals r by EFA-provably computable functions ${f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}}$ and prove analogous theorems. (In the sequel we denote by ${\mathbb{R}_{+}}$ the set of EFA-provably computable positive reals). In the basic case T?=? PA we strengthen the basic phase transition result by adding the following static threshold clause

1. ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{2}, \trianglelefteq _{2}, 1\right)}$ is still provable in T = PA (actually in EFA).

Furthermore we prove the following dynamic threshold clauses which, loosely speaking are obtained by replacing the static threshold t by slowly growing functions 1 _α given by ${1_{\alpha }\left( i\right)\,{:=}\,1+\frac{1}{H_{\alpha }^{-1}\left(i\right) }, H_{\alpha}}$ being the familiar fast growing Hardy function and ${H_{\alpha }^{-1}\left( i\right)\,{:=}\,\rm min \left\{ j \mid H_{\alpha } \left ( j\right) \geq i \right\}}$ the corresponding slowly growing inversion.

1. If ${\alpha < \varepsilon _{0}}$ , then ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{2}, \trianglelefteq _{2}, 1_{\alpha}\right)}$ is provable in T = PA.

1. ${\sf{SWP}\left( {\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{2}, \trianglelefteq _{2},1_{\varepsilon _{0}}\right)}$ is not provable in T = PA.

We conjecture that this pattern is characteristic for all ${T\supseteq \sf{PA}}$ under consideration and their proof-theoretical ordinals o (T ), instead of ${\varepsilon _{0}}$ .
