Rate of Decay of Concentration Functions on Discrete Groups

Given an irreducible probability measure on a non-compact locally compact group G, it is known that the concentration functions associated with converge to zero. In this note the rate of this convergence is presented in the case where G is a non-locally finite discrete group. In particular it is shown that if the volume growth V(m) of G satisfies V(m) cm ^D then for any compact set K we have sup _gG ⁽ⁿ⁾(Kg) Cn ^–D/2.     

Estimates for the Rapid Decay of Concentration Functions of n-Fold Convolutions

We estimate the concentration functions of n-fold convolutions of one-dimensional probability measures. The Kolmogorov–Rogozin inequality implies that for nondegenerate distributions these functions decrease at least as O(n ^–1/2). On the other hand, Esseen⁽³⁾ has shown that this rate is o(n ^–1/2) iff the distribution has an infinite second moment. This statement was sharpened by Morozova.⁽⁹⁾ Theorem 1 of this paper provides an improvement of Morozova's result. Moreover, we present more general estimates which imply the rates o(n ^–1/2).     

Certain Convolution Operators for Meromorphic Functions

Let (p N) be the class of functions analytic in 0 < |z| < 1. A convolution operator L_p(a, c) on p is introduced. This paper gives some sharp inequalities for f(z) satisfying Re{(1 – )z^pL_p(a, c) f(z) + z^pL_p(a + 1, c) f(z)} > , where 0, < 1, a > 0 and c 0, –1, –2,....AMS Subject Classification (1991) 30C45 30A10     

Contractive Automorphisms of Locally Compact Groups and the Concentration Function Problem

Let G be a noncompact locally compact group. We show that a necessary and sufficient condition in order that G support an adapted probability measure whose concentration functions fail converge to zero is that G be the semidirect product , where is an automorphism of N contractive modulo a compact subgroup. Any adapted a probability measure whose concentration functions fail to converge to zero has the form =v×₁ where v is a probability measure on N. If G is unimodular then the concentration functions of an adapted probability measure fail to converge to zero if and only if is supported on a coset of a compact normal subgroup.     

Rational Period Functions on the Hecke Groups

We describe rational period functions on the Hecke groups and characterize the ones whose poles satisfy a certain symmetry. This generalizes part of the characterization of rational period functions on the modular group, which is one of the Hecke groups.     

Convolution-Dominated Operators on Discrete Groups

We study infinite matrices A indexed by a discrete group G that are dominated by a convolution operator in the sense that for x ∈ G and some . This class of “convolution-dominated” matrices forms a Banach-*-algebra contained in the algebra of bounded operators on ℓ ²(G). Our main result shows that the inverse of a convolution-dominated matrix is again convolution-dominated, provided that G is amenable and rigidly symmetric. For abelian groups this result goes back to Gohberg, Baskakov, and others, for non-abelian groups completely different techniques are required, such as generalized L ¹-algebras and the symmetry of group algebras.

Dissipation of Convolution Powers in a Metric Group

In contrast to what is known about probability measures on locally compact groups, a metric group G can support a probability measure μ which is not carried on a compact subgroup but for which there exists a compact subset C⊆G such that the sequence μ ⁿ (C) fails to converge to zero as n tends to ∞. A noncompact metric group can also support a probability measure μ such that supp μ=G and the concentration functions of μ do not converge to zero. We derive a number of conditions which guarantee that the concentration functions in a metric group G converge to zero, and obtain a sufficient and necessary condition in order that a probability measure μ on G satisfy lim  _n→∞ μ ⁿ (C)=0 for every compact subset C⊆G.

Asymptotic Expansions of Hermite Functions on Compact Lie Groups

Let G be a compact, connected Lie group endowed with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric. Let _t be the heat kernel on G; that is, _t is the fundamental solution to the heat equation on the group determined by the Laplace–Beltrami operator. Recent work of Gross (1993) and Hijab (1994) has led to the study of a new family of functions on G. These functions, obtained from _t and its derivatives, are the compact group analogs of the classical Hermite polynomials on . Previous work of this author has established that these Hermite functions approach the classical Hermite polynomials on in the limit of small t, where the Hermite functions are viewed as functions on via composition with the exponential map. The present work extends these results by showing that these Hermite functions can be expanded in an asymptotic series in powers of . For symmetrized derivatives, it is shown that the terms with fractional powers of t vanish. Additionally, the asymptotic series for Hermite functions associated to powers of the Laplacian are computed explicitly. Remarkably, these asymptotic series terminate, yielding a polynomial in t.     

由Srivastava-Khairnar-More算子定义的$p$叶函数类的包含关系

In the present paper, we use the methods of differential subordination and convo- lution to investigate some inclusion properties for certain classes of p-valent analytic functions in the open unit disk, which are associated with the Srivastava-Khairnar-More operator. The results presented here include several previous known results as their special cases.     

Weak Poincaré Inequalities, Decay of Markov Semigroups and Concentration of Measures

For a reasonable class of weak Poincaré inequalities, the decay of the corresponding Markov semigroups obtained earlier by Röckner and the first named author is improved by removing an extra L ²–norm. Next, a concentration estimate of the reference measure is presented for the weak Poincaré inequality, which is sharp as illustrated by some examples of one–dimensional diffusion processes.     

由卷积和从属关系刻画的单叶调和函数某些子类

Let SH be the class of functions f = h + ˉg that are harmonic univalent and sensepreserving in the open unit disk U = {z ∈ C : |z| 1} for which f(0) = f′(0)-1 = 0. In the present paper, we introduce some new subclasses of SH consisting of univalent and sensepreserving functions defined by convolution and subordination. Sufficient coefficient conditions,distortion bounds, extreme points and convolution properties for functions of these classes are obtained. Also, we discuss the radii of starlikeness and convexity.     

Decay rates for the energy of a singular nonlocal viscoelastic system

This work deals with decay rates for the energy of an initial boundary value problem with a nonlocal boundary condition for a system of nonlinear singular viscoelastic equations. We prove the decay rates for the energy of a singular one‐dimensional viscoelastic system with a nonlinear source term and nonlocal boundary condition of relaxation kernels described by the inequality $g_i^{\prime }\left(t\right)\le ?H\left(g_i\left(t\right)\right),\left(i=1,2\right)$ for all t ≥ 0, with H convex.

In this paper, we use the methods of differential subordination and the properties of convolution to investigate the class Wp(H(ai, bj); φ) of multivalent analytic functions, which is defined by the Dziok-Srivastava operator H(a1,..., aq; b1,..., bs). Some inclusion properties for this class are obtained.     

Convolution Powers of Probabilities on Stochastic Matrices

For any probability on the space of d×d stochastic matrices we associate a probability ; on a finite group—a subgroup of the permutation group—related to the kernel of the semigroup generated by the support of . We show that ⁿ converges iff ⁿ converges.
