On Schweiger’s problems on fully subtractive algorithms

In his monograph [6] on multi-dimensional continued fractions, Schweiger has presented two conjectures on fully subtractive algorithms. We affirm one and refute another.     

On the properties of McShane’s functional and their applications

In this paper we derive some remarkable properties of McShane’s functional, defined by means of positive isotonic linear functionals. These properties are then applied to weighted generalized means. A series of consequences among additive and multiplicative type mean inequalities is given, as well as a special consideration of Hölder’s inequality, in view of the new results.

On the Geometrical and Physical Meaning of Newton’s Solution to Kepler’s Problem

In the short treatise De Motu (1684),which serves as a precursor to the Principia Mathematica (1687),Newton essentially deals with the following two problems.     

On the prime radical and Baer’s lower nilradical of modules

Let M be a left R-module. In this paper a generalization of the notion of m-system set of rings to modules is given. Then for a submodule N of M, we define := { m ε M: every m-system containing m meets N}. It is shown that is the intersection of all prime submodules of M containing N. We define rad _R (M) = . This is called Baer-McCoy radical or prime radical of M. It is shown that if M is an Artinian module over a PI-ring (or an FBN-ring) R, then M/rad _R (M) is a Noetherian R-module. Also, if M is a Noetherian module over a PI-ring (or an FBN-ring) R such that every prime submodule of M is virtually maximal, then M/rad _R (M) is an Artinian R-module. This yields if M is an Artinian module over a PI-ring R, then either rad _R (M) = M or rad _R (M) = ∩ _i=1 ⁿ for some maximal ideals of R. Also, Baer’s lower nilradical of M [denoted by Nil_* ( _R M)] is defined to be the set of all strongly nilpotent elements of M. It is shown that, for any projective R-module M, rad _R (M) = Nil_*( _R M) and, for any module M over a left Artinian ring R, rad _R (M) = Nil_*( _R M) = Rad(M) = Jac(R)M. This research was in part supported by a grant from IPM (No. 85130016). Also this work was partially supported by IUT (CEAMA). The author would like to thank the anonymous referee for a careful checking of the details and for helpful comments that improved this paper.     

On the proof of Erdős’ inequality

Using undergraduate calculus, we give a direct elementary proof of a sharp Markov-type inequality \({\left\| {p'} \right\|_{\left[ { - 1,1} \right]}} \leqslant \frac{1}{2}{\left\| p \right\|_{\left[ { - 1,1} \right]}}\) for a constrained polynomial p of degree at most n, initially claimed by P. Erd?s, which is different from the one in the paper of T.Erdélyi (2015). Whereafter, we give the situations on which the equality holds. On the basis of this inequality, we study the monotone polynomial which has only real zeros all but one outside of the interval (?1, 1) and establish a new asymptotically sharp inequality.     

On an Analog of the Plan’s Formula

In this paper we obtain an analog of the Plan’s formula, which plays an essential role in obtaining a functional relation for classical Riemann zeta-function.We provide examples of rational functions that satisfy a certain symmetry condition and admit a Maclaurin series expansion with coefficients equal to zero or one.     

On the Sharpness of Mockenhaupt’s Restriction Theorem

We prove that the range of exponents in Mockenhaupt’s restriction theorem for Salem sets (Geom Funct Anal 10:1579–1587, 2000), with the endpoint estimate due to Bak and Seeger (Math Res Lett 18:767–781, 2011), is optimal.     

On the Moments of the Absorption Time of Kingman’s Coalescent

Simple integral representations are derived for the moments of the absorption time of Kingman’s coalescent Kingman (J Appl Probab 19:27-43, (1982a)). Their computational efficiency versus known representations is established.

On the Behaviour of the spectral characteristic of Feigenbaum’s map

Let T _g : [?1, 1] ?? [?1, 1] be the Feigenbaum map. It is well known that T _g has a Cantor-type attractor F and a unique invariant measure ??₀ supported on F. The corresponding unitary operator (U _g ??)(x) = ??(g(x)) has pure point spectrum consisting of eigenvalues ?? _n,r , n ?? 1, 0 ?? r ?? 2 ^n?1 ? 1 with eigenfunctions e _r ⁽ⁿ⁾ (x). Suppose that f ?? C ¹([?1, 1]), f?? is absolutely continuous on [?1, 1] and f?? ?? L ^p ([?1, 1], d??₀), p > 1. Consider the sum of the amplitudes of the spectral measure of f: $$ Sn(f): = \sum\limits_{r = 0}^{2^n - 1} {|\rho _r^{(n)} |^2 ,\rho _r^{(n)} = \int\limits_{ - 1}^1 {f(x)\overline {e_r^{(n)} (x)} d\mu _o } } (x). $$ Using the thermodynamic formalism for T _g we prove that S _n (f) ?? 2^?n q ⁿ , as n ?? ??, where the constant q ?? (0, 1) does not depend on f.     

On the global existence and uniqueness of solutions to Prandtl’s system

In this paper, we consider the Prandtl system for the non-stationary boundary layer in the vicinity of a point where the outer flow has zero velocity. It is assumed that U（t, x, y） = x^mU1（t, x）, where 0 〈 x 〈 L and m 〉 1. We establish the global existence of the weak solution to this problem. Moreover the uniqueness of the weak solution is proved.     

On the equivalence of Lagrange’s axiom to the Lotschnittaxiom

We prove that, in Hilbert’s plane absolute geometry, an axiom used by Lagrange in a proof of the Euclidean parallel postulate in a paper read on 3 February 1806 at the Institut de France, which states that “If a and b are two parallels from P to g, then the reflection of a in b is parallel to g as well”, is equivalent to F. Bachmann’s Lotschnittaxiom, which states that “The perpendiculars on the sides a right angle always intersect.”
