Boundedness of the l-Index of Laguerre–Pólya Entire Functions

We investigate conditions on zeros of an entire function f of the Laguerre–Pólya class under which f is a function of bounded l-index.     

Sharp Turán inequalities via very hyperbolic polynomials

We present new sharp inequalities for the Maclaurin coefficients of an entire function from the Laguerre-Pólya class. They are obtained by a new technique involving the so-called very hyperbolic polynomials. The results may be considered as extensions of the classical Turán inequalities.     

Integer valued polynomials over a number field

A number field is called a Pólya field if the module of integer valued polynomials over that field is generated by (f_i) _i=0 over the ring of integers, with deg(f_i)=i, i=0, 1, 2,... In this paper bounds on the class numbers and on the number of ramified primes in Pólya fields are derived.     

Minimum of the modulus of an entire function on the sequence of Polya peaks

Let f be an entire function of genus zero, let (r_k) be a sequence of Pólya peaks for N(r, f) of order <1. Then there exists a sequence r _k ~r_k such that If for (r_k) one takes a sequence of Pólya peaks for ln M(r, f) or for T(r, f), 1/2<<1, then the result ceases to be true.Translated from Teoriya Funktsii, Funktsional'nyi Analiz i Ikh Prilozheniya, No. 45, pp. 26–40, 1986.     

Generalized Informational Entropy and Noncanonical Distribution in Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Based on the Jaynes principle of maximum for informational entropy, we find a generalized probability distribution and construct a generalized equilibrium statistical mechanics (ESM) for a wide class of objects to which the usual (canonical) ESM cannot be applied. We consistently consider the case of a continuous, not discrete, random variable characterizing the state of the object. For large values of the argument, the resulting distribution is characterized by a power-law, not exponential, asymptotic behavior, and the corresponding power asymptotic expression agrees with the empirical laws established for these objects. The -deformed Boltzmann–Gibbs–Shannon functional satisfying the requirements of the entropy axiomatics and leading to the canonical ESM for =0 is used as the original entropy functional. We also consider nonlinear transformations of this functional. We show that depending on how the averages of the dynamical characteristics of the object are defined, the different (Tsallis, Renyi, and Hardy–Littlewood–Pólya) versions of the generalized ESM can be used, and we give their comparative analysis. We find conditions under which the Gibbs–Helmholtz thermodynamic relations hold and the Legendre transformation can be applied to the generalized entropy and the Massieu–Planck function. We consider the Tsallis and Renyi ESM versions in detail for the case of a one-dimensional probabilistic object with a single dynamical characteristic whose role is played by a generalized positive energy with a monotonic power growth. We obtain constraints on the Renyi index under which the equilibrium distribution relates to a definite class of stable Gaussian or Levy–Khinchin distributions.     

A problem of Fekete

The problem of whether an entire function f with nonnegative coefficients can be multiplied by another entire function g which grows not faster than f so that the product fg is a generating function of a Pólya frequency sequence of finite order (multipositive sequence in the sense of Fekete) is investigated.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 9, pp. 1255–1259, September, 1991.

Une méthode de comparaison isopérimétrique de fonctionnelles de domaines de la physique mathématique II. Seconde partie: cas inhomogène: une inégalité isopérimétrique entre la fréquence fondamentale d'une membrane et l'énergie d'équilibre d'un problème de Poisson

Résumé On étend l'inégalité isopérimétriqueP ² = Min pour le cercle, conjecturée par Pólya et Szegö [14] et démontrée dans [I], à certains problèmes inhomogènes. Ce résultat renforce des théorèmes isopérimétriques de Nehari [11] et de Bandle [2] qui généralisaient le théorème de Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn [14].

Summary The isoperimetric inequalityP ² = for the circle, conjectured by Pólya and Szegö [14] and proved in [I], is extended to some nonhomogeneous problems. This result sharpens some extensions of the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn theorem [14] due to Nehari [11] and Bandle [2].

     

Cayley–Dickson Procedure, Relativistic Wave Equations and Supersymmetric Oscillators

The relativistic first-order wave equations for massive particles with spin 0,1,1/2 are formulated in terms of a factorization of the Klein–Fock equation by means of the algebra of octonions. An analogous method applied to Hamiltonian of the quantum isotropic oscillator leads to the natural generalization of the model. The class of supersymmetric oscillators with dimension N7 associated with te algebras of the Cayley–Dickson series is introduced.     

Composite generalized Laguerre–Legendre pseudospectral method for Fokker–Planck equation in an infinite channel

In this paper, we propose a composite generalized Laguerre–Legendre pseudospectral method for the Fokker–Planck equation in an infinite channel, which behaves like a parabolic equation in one direction, and behaves like a hyperbolic equation in other direction. We establish some approximation results on the composite generalized Laguerre–Legendre–Gauss–Radau interpolation, with which the convergence of proposed composite scheme follows. An efficient implementation is provided. Numerical results show the spectral accuracy in space of this approach and coincide well with theoretical analysis. The approximation results and techniques developed in this paper are also very appropriate for many other problems on multiple-dimensional unbounded domains, which are not of standard types.     

Scattering of Electrons on the Dyon

We calculate spherical and parabolic wave functions for a charge–dyon system in the continuum spectrum. The coefficients of the spherical–parabolic and parabolic–spherical transformations are proportional to the generalized hypergeometric function ₃ F ₂(|1). We solve the quantum mechanical problem of the scattering of charged particles in the field of a dyon.

Calculation of the indicator of an entire function of rational order in terms of its taylor coefficients

By using both the Pólya theorem on the connection between the growth of an entire exponential function and the location of singularities of its Borel transform and the analog of this result for finite-order entire functions (due to Mclntyre), we obtain estimates for the indicator of the growth of an entire function in terms of its Taylor coefficients and, in some cases, determine this indicator exactly.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 6, pp. 854–858, June, 1993.     

Symmetrization and second-order Sobolev inequalities

A Pólya–Szegö principle for second-order derivatives is established. As a consequence, a new unified approach to second-order Sobolev-type inequalities, via 1-dimensional inequalities, is derived. Applications to some optimal Sobolev embeddings are exhibited. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 46E35, 46E30     

A Remark on an Algebraic Riemann—Roch Formula for Flat Bundles

Let f:X S be a smooth projective morphism over an algebraically closed field, with X and S regular. When E, ) is a flat bundle over X, then its Gauss–Manin bundles on S have a flat connection and one may ask for a Riemann–Roch formula relating the algebraic Chern–Simons and Cheeger–Simons invariants. We give an answer for X = Y × S, f = projection. The method of proof is inspired by the work of Hitchin and Simpson.     

Exact Bounds on the Sizes of Covering Codes

A code c is a covering code of X with radius r if every element of X is within Hamming distance r from at least one codeword from c. The minimum size of such a c is denoted by c _r(X). Answering a question of Hämäläinen et al. [10], we show further connections between Turán theory and constant weight covering codes. Our main tool is the theory of supersaturated hypergraphs. In particular, for n > n ₀(r) we give the exact minimum number of Hamming balls of radius r required to cover a Hamming ball of radius r + 2 in {0, 1}ⁿ. We prove that c _r(B _n(0, r + 2)) = _{1 i r + 1} ( ^{(n + i – 1) / (r + 1) 2}) + n / (r + 1) and that the centers of the covering balls B(x, r) can be obtained by taking all pairs in the parts of an (r + 1)-partition of the n-set and by taking the singletons in one of the parts.     

The maximum size of hypergraphs without generalized 4-cycles

Let fr(n) be the maximum number of edges in an r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices that does not contain four distinct edges A, B, C, D with A∪B=C∪D and A∩B=C∩D=∅. This problem was stated by Erd?s [P. Erd?s, Problems and results in combinatorial analysis, Congr. Numer. 19 (1977) 3-12]. It can be viewed as a generalization of the Turán problem for the 4-cycle to hypergraphs.Let . Füredi [Z. Füredi, Hypergraphs in which all disjoint pairs have distinct unions, Combinatorica 4 (1984) 161-168] observed that ?r?1 and conjectured that this is equality for every r?3. The best known upper bound ?r?3 was proved by Mubayi and Verstraëte [D. Mubayi, J. Verstraëte, A hypergraph extension of the bipartite Turán problem, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 106 (2004) 237-253]. Here we improve this bound. Namely, we show that for every r?3, and ?₃?13/9. In particular, it follows that ?r→1 as r→∞.     

A Proof of the Lewy-Stampacchina's Inequality by a Penalization Method

In this paper we prove the Lewy–Stampacchia's inequality for elliptic variational inequalities with obstacle involving fairly general Leray–Lions operators. The main novelty of the paper is the method of proof, which uses the natural penalization. One of the steps of the proof consists in proving, again thanks to the natural penalization, that the nonnegative cone of W ₀ ^1,p () is dense in the nonnegative cone of W^-1,p().     

Mixed Laguerre–Legendre Spectral Method for Incompressible Flow in an Infinite Strip

This paper concerns the mixed Laguerre–Legendre spectral approximation and its application to numerical simulation of incompressible flow in an infinite strip. Some approximation results in weighted Sobolev spaces are given. A Laguerre–Legendre spectral scheme for the stream function form of Navier–Stokes equations is constructed. The stability and the convergence of the proposed scheme are proved. The numerical experiments show the high accuracy of this method. The main techniques used in this paper are also applicable to other nonlinear partial differential equations in an infinite strip.
