Finitely additive representation of spaces

Let be any atomless and countably additive probability measure on the product space with the usual σ-algebra. Then there is a purely finitely additive probability measure λ on the power set of a countable subset such that can be isometrically isomorphically embedded as a closed subspace of L^p(λ). The embedding is strict. It is also ‘canonical,’ in the sense that it maps simple and continuous functions on to their restrictions to T.     

Interlacing and spacing properties of zeros of polynomials, in particular of orthogonal and -minimal polynomials,

Let be a sequence of polynomials with real coefficients such that uniformly for [α-δ,β+δ] with G(eⁱ)≠0 on [α,β], where 0α<βπ and δ>0. First it is shown that the zeros of are dense in [α,β], have spacing of precise order π/n and are interlacing with the zeros of p_n+1(cos) on [α,β] for every nn₀. Let be another sequence of real polynomials with uniformly on [α-δ,β+δ] and on [α,β]. It is demonstrated that for all sufficiently large n the zeros of p_n(cos) and strictly interlace on [α,β] if on [α,β]. If the last expression is zero then a weaker kind of interlacing holds. These interlacing properties of the zeros are new for orthogonal polynomials also. For instance, for large n a simple criteria for interlacing of zeros of Jacobi polynomials on [-1+,1-], >0, is obtained. Finally it is shown that the results hold for wide classes of weighted L_q-minimal polynomials, q[1,∞], linear combinations and products of orthogonal polynomials, etc.     

The equation on weakly pseudo-convex CR manifolds of dimension 3

Let M be a smooth, compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension 3, embedded in (N2), of codimension one or more, and endowed with the induced CR structure. Assuming that the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator has closed range in L²(M) in order to rule out the Rossi example, we push regularity up to show has closed range in H^s(M) for all s>0. We then use the Szegö projection to show there is a smooth solution for the problem given smooth data. The results are obtained via microlocalization by piecing together estimates for functions and (0,1) forms that hold on different microlocal regions.     

Schurian vector space categories, hereditary algebras and Roiter's norm

We associate a positive real number to any vector space K-category over a field K. Generalizing a result of Nazarova and Roiter, we show that a schurian vector space K-category is representation-finite if and only if is finite and . Such vector space categories are quasilinear, i.e. its indecomposables are simple modules over their endomorphism ring. Recently, Nazarova and Roiter introduced the concept of -faithful poset in order to clarify the structure of critical posets. Their conjecture on the precise form of -faithful posets was established by Zeldich. We generalize these results and characterize -faithful quasilinear vector space K-categories in terms of a class of hereditary algebras H_ρ(D) parametrized by a skew-field D and a rational number ρ1.     

The topological structure of fuzzy sets with endograph metric

For a non-degenerate convex subset Y of the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rⁿ, let be the family of all fuzzy sets ofRⁿ, which are upper-semicontinuous, fuzzy convex and normal with compact supports contained in Y. We show that the space with the topology of endograph metric is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube Q=[-1,1]^ω iff Y is compact; and the space is homeomorphic to {(x_n)Q:sup|x_n|<1} iff Y is non-compact and locally compact.     

Projective change between two classes of -metrics

In this paper, we find equations to characterize projective change between (α,β)-metric and Randers metric on a manifold with dimension n3, where α and are two Riemannian metrics, β and are two nonzero one forms. Moreover, we consider this projective change when F has some special curvature properties.     

Reznichenko families of trees and their applications

Examples of Talagrand, Gul'ko and Corson compacta resulting from Reznichenko families of trees are presented. The K_σδ property for weakly -analytic Banach spaces with an unconditional basis is proved.     

Weakly sequentially continuous differentiable mappings

It is well known that a (linear) operator between Banach spaces is completely continuous if and only if its adjoint takes bounded subsets of Y^* into uniformly completely continuous subsets, often called (L)-subsets, of X^*. We give similar results for differentiable mappings. More precisely, if UX is an open convex subset, let be a differentiable mapping whose derivative is uniformly continuous on U-bounded subsets. We prove that f takes weak Cauchy U-bounded sequences into convergent sequences if and only if f^′ takes Rosenthal U-bounded subsets of U into uniformly completely continuous subsets of . As a consequence, we extend a result of P. Hájek and answer a question raised by R. Deville and E. Matheron. We derive differentiable characterizations of Banach spaces not containing ℓ₁ and of Banach spaces without the Schur property containing a copy of ℓ₁. Analogous results are given for differentiable mappings taking weakly convergent U-bounded sequences into convergent sequences. Finally, we show that if X has the hereditary Dunford–Pettis property, then every differentiable function as above is locally weakly sequentially continuous.

where , , μ, f, g are given functions. To problem (1), we associate a linear recursive scheme for which the existence of a local and unique weak solution is proved by applying the Faedo–Galerkin method and the weak compact method. In the case of , , μ(z)≥μ₀>0, μ₁(z)≥0, for all , and , , , a weak solution u_ε1,ε2(x,t) having an asymptotic expansion of order N+1 in two small parameters ε₁, ε₂ is established for the following equation associated to (1)_2,3:

Widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the ball

We study the Kolmogorov n-widths and the linear n-widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the unit ball B^d in L_q,μ, where L_q,μ, 1≤q≤∞, denotes the weighted L_q space of functions on B^d with respect to weight . Optimal asymptotic orders of and as n→∞ are obtained for all 1≤p,q≤∞ and μ≥0.     

Hessenberg pairs of linear transformations

Let denote a field and V denote a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space over . We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations A:V→V and A^*:V→V that satisfy (i)–(iii) below.

1. [(i)]Each of A,A^* is diagonalizable on V.

2. [(ii)]There exists an ordering of the eigenspaces of A such that

3. [(iii)]There exists an ordering of the eigenspaces of A^* such that

where , .

We call such a pair a Hessenberg pair on V. In this paper we obtain some characterizations of Hessenberg pairs. We also explain how Hessenberg pairs are related to tridiagonal pairs.

Positive solutions for Robin problem involving the -Laplacian

Consider Robin problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian on a smooth bounded domain Ω as follows

Applying the sub-supersolution method and the variational method, under appropriate assumptions on f, we prove that there exists λ_*>0 such that the problem has at least two positive solutions if λ(0,λ_*), has at least one positive solution if λ=λ_*<+∞ and has no positive solution if λ>λ_*. To prove the results, we prove a norm on W^1,p(x)(Ω) without the part of ||_L^p(x)(Ω) which is equivalent to usual one and establish a special strong comparison principle for Robin problem.     

Nonlinear structure of some classical quasi-Banach spaces and -spaces

We investigate the Lipschitz structure of ℓ_p and L_p for 0<p<1 as quasi-Banach spaces and as metric spaces (with the metric induced by the p-norm) and show that they are not Lipschitz isomorphic. We prove that the -space L₀ is not uniformly homeomorphic to any other L_p space, that the L_p spaces for 0<p<1 embed isometrically into one another, and reduce the problem of the uniform equivalence amongst L_p spaces to their Lipschitz equivalence as metric spaces.     

Solutions to operator equations on Hilbert -modules

Let be a C^*-algebra, E,F and G be Hilbert -modules, , and . We generalize the Douglas theorem about the operator equation TX=T^′ from Hilbert space to Hilbert C^*-module. To the equation TX=T^′ and to the system of two equations TX=T^′ and XS=S^′, we get the forms of general solutions (in the case that there exists a solution), and give some sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of solutions, and the existence of hermitian solutions and positive solutions (in the case G=E). In addition, the forms of general hermitian solution and general positive solution (in the case that there exists a solution and G=E) to the equation TX=T^′ are given too.     

Nonnegative iterations with asymptotically constant coefficients

Let A_k,k=0,1,2,…, be a sequence of real nonsingular n×n matrices which converge to a nonsingular matrix A. Suppose that A has exactly one positive eigenvalue λ and there exists a unique nonnegative vector u with properties Au=λu and u=1. Under further additional conditions on the spectrum of A, it is shown that if x₀≠0 and the iterates

are nonnegative, then converges to u and converges to λ as k→∞.     

A bilinear form relating two Leonard systems

Let Φ, Φ^′ be Leonard systems over a field , and V, V^′ the vector spaces underlying Φ, Φ^′, respectively. In this paper, we introduce and discuss a balanced bilinear form on V×V^′. Such a form naturally arises in the study of Q-polynomial distance-regular graphs. We characterize a balanced bilinear form from several points of view.     

Instance-optimality in probability with an -minimization decoder

Let Φ(ω), ωΩ, be a family of n×N random matrices whose entries _i,j are independent realizations of a symmetric, real random variable η with expectation and variance . Such matrices are used in compressed sensing to encode a vector by y=Φx. The information y holds about x is extracted by using a decoder . The most prominent decoder is the ℓ₁-minimization decoder Δ which gives for a given the element which has minimal ℓ₁-norm among all with Φz=y. This paper is interested in properties of the random family Φ(ω) which guarantee that the vector will with high probability approximate x in to an accuracy comparable with the best k-term error of approximation in for the range kan/log₂(N/n). This means that for the above range of k, for each signal , the vector satisfies

with high probability on the draw of Φ. Here, Σ_k consists of all vectors with at most k nonzero coordinates. The first result of this type was proved by Wojtaszczyk [P. Wojtaszczyk, Stability and instance optimality for Gaussian measurements in compressed sensing, Found. Comput. Math., in press] who showed this property when η is a normalized Gaussian random variable. We extend this property to more general random variables, including the particular case where η is the Bernoulli random variable which takes the values with equal probability. The proofs of our results use geometric mapping properties of such random matrices some of which were recently obtained in [A. Litvak, A. Pajor, M. Rudelson, N. Tomczak-Jaegermann, Smallest singular value of random matrices and geometry of random polytopes, Adv. Math. 195 (2005) 491–523].
