Lattice Fully Orderable Groups

Let be a linearly ordered set, A() be the group of all order automorphisms of , and L() be a normal subgroup of A() consisting of all automorphisms whose support is bounded above. We argue to show that, for every linearly ordered set such that: (1) A() is an o-2-transitive group, and (2) contains a countable unbounded sequence of elements, the simple group A()/L() has exactly two maximal and two minimal non-trivial (mutually inverse) partial orders, and that every partial order of A()/L() extends to a lattice one (Thm. 2.1). It is proved that every lattice-orderable group is isomorphically embeddable in a simple lattice fully orderable group (Thm. 2.2). We also state that some quotient groups of Dlab groups of the real line and unit interval are lattice fully orderable (Thms. 3.1 and 3.2).     

Holomorphe Funktionen auf Gebieten über Banach-Räumen zu vorgegebenen Konvergenzradien

Given a function: ₊ on a domain spread over an infinite dimensional complex Banach space E with a Schauder basis such that -log is plurisubharmonic and d (d denotes the boundary distance on ) one can find a holomorphic function f: with _f, where _f is the radius of convergence of f. If, in addition, is locally Lipschitz continuous with constant 1, f can be chosen so that (3M)^–1 _f, where M is the basis constant of E. In the particular case of E= ₁ there are holomorphic functions f on with= _f.     

Nonbranching weak and starshaped strong solutions for Hele-Shaw dynamics

We consider multidimensional weak and strong Hele-Shaw dynamics (t) of an advancing/receding viscous fluid injected/removed through a single finite point into/from a bounded domain (0). A class of weak solutions is shown to preserve local uniqueness in both directions. Then we also consider strong solutions (t), and show that if (0) is starshaped with respect to a small ball centered on the point of injection, then the evolution (t) exists for all time.Received: 5 March 2004     

On Some Isomorphism on the Category of b-Spaces

Given a nuclear b-space N, we show that if is a finite or -finite measure space and 1p, then the functors L _loc ^p (,N.) and NL ^p (,.) are isomorphic on the category of b-spaces of L. Waelbroeck.     

New lower semicontinuity results for polyconvex integrals

Summary We study integral functionals of the formF(u, )= f(u)dx, defined foru C¹(;R ^k), R ⁿ . The functionf is assumed to be polyconvex and to satisfy the inequalityf(A) c₀¦(A)¦ for a suitable constant c₀ > 0, where (A) is then-vector whose components are the determinants of all minors of thek×n matrixA. We prove thatF is lower semicontinuous onC ¹(;R ^k) with respect to the strong topology ofL ¹(;R ^k). Then we consider the relaxed functional , defined as the greatest lower semicontinuous functional onL ¹(;R ^k ) which is less than or equal toF on C¹(;R ^k). For everyu BV(;R ^k) we prove that (u,) f(u)dx+c₀¦D^su¦(), whereDu=u dx+D^su is the Lebesgue decomposition of the Radon measureDu. Moreover, under suitable growth conditions onf, we show that (u,)= f(u)dx for everyu W^1,p(;R ^k), withp min{n,k}. We prove also that the functional (u, ) can not be represented by an inte- gral for an arbitrary functionu BV_loc(R ⁿ;R ^k). In fact, two examples show that, in general, the set function (u, ) is not subadditive whenu BV_loc(R ⁿ;R ^k), even ifu W _loc ^1,p (R ⁿ;R ^k) for everyp < min{n,k}. Finally, we examine in detail the properties of the functionsu BV(;R ^k) such that (u, )= f(u)dx, particularly in the model casef(A)=¦(A)¦.

Subsets with Restricted Movement

Let G be a finite permutation group on a set with no fixed points in and let m and k be integers with 0 < m < k. For a finite subset of the movement of is defined as move() = max_gG| ^g \ |. Suppose further that G is not a 2-group and that p is the least odd prime dividing |G| and move() m for all k-element subsets of . Then either || k + m or k (7m – 5) / 2, || (9m – 3)/2. Moreover when || > k + m, then move() m for every subset of .     

Partially ordered permutation groups

In this note we discuss permutation groups (G, ) in which the set admits aG-invariant order. By aG-invariant partial order (G-partial order) we mean a partial order < of such that < implies g<g, for all and in andg inG. If the set admits aG-partial order which is a total order, then (G, ) is an O-permutation group (orderable permutation group).The main concern of this paper is the development of a foundation for partially ordered permutation groups analogous to the existing one for partially ordered groups, as found in Fuchs [2].     

Homogenization of a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Problem in a Thick Periodic Junction of the Type 3:2:1

We prove a convergence theorem and obtain asymptotic (as 0) estimates for a solution of a parabolic initial boundary-value problem in a junction that consists of a domain ₀ and a large number N ² of -periodically located thin cylinders whose thickness is of order = O(N ^–1).     

Critical points of essential norms of singular integral operators in weighted spaces

We show that for any simple piecewise Ljapunov contour there exists a power weight such that the essential norm |S | in the spaceL ₂(, ) does not depend on the angles of the contour and it is given by formula (2). All such weights are described. For the union =₁₂ of two simple piecewise Lyapunov curves we prove that the essential norm |S | inL ₂() is minimal if both ₁ and ₂ are smooth in some neighborhoods of the common points. It is the case when the norm |S | in the spaceL ₂() as well as inL ₂(, ) does not depend on the values of the angles and it can be calculated by formula (5).     

Approximation of a nondifferentiable nonlinear problem related to MHD equilibria

Summary We present a simple method, based on a variant of the implicit function theorem, which leads to the existence of (a part of) a nontrivial solution branch of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem –u=u ⁺ in ,u=–1 on , where is a two-dimensional domain with boundary . The advantage of this method is that we can apply it for analysing the approximation of the above problem by a finite element method; the error analysis of the discrete problem appears immediately. We give also an iteration scheme which allows to solve the approximate problem.     

Central orderings in fields of real meromorphic function germs

Let X_oR ⁿ be an irreducible analytic germ and the order space of its field of meromorphicfunetion germs. A formal half-branch in X_o is a kind of C-map germ c[0,)X_o; an ordering is centered at c if it contains the functions which are positive on c. We obtain a partition ¹,...,^d, d=dim X_o, of the set ^* of central (i.e.: centered at some half-branch) orderings, according to the dimension of half-branches. Then we show that all ^e, e= 1,.,d, as well as the set \^* of noncentral orderings, are dense in . Finally, we solve the 17th Hubert Problem for analytic germs.

Positive Solutions for a Singular Nonlinear Problem on a Bounded Domain in R 2

For a bounded regular Jordan domain in R ², we introduce and study a new class of functions K() related on its Green function G. We exploit the properties of this class to prove the existence and the uniqueness of a positive solution for the singular nonlinear elliptic equation u+(x,u)=0, in D(), with u=0 on and uC(), where is a nonnegative Borel measurable function in ×(0,) that belongs to a convex cone which contains, in particular, all functions (x,t)=q(x)t ^–,>0 with nonnegative functions qK(). Some estimates on the solution are also given.     

Projections on Lp-spaces of polyanalytic functions

The fundamental result: for an arbitrary bounded, simply connected domain in , the subspace L_n,m ^p() of the space L^p(, ) ( is the plane Lebesgue measure, p 1), consisting of the (m, n)-analytic functions in , is complemented in LP(, ) (a function f is said to be (m, n)-analytic if (^m+n/¯Z^mZⁿ)f=0 in ). Consequently, by virtue of a theorem of J. Lindenstrauss and A. Pelczyski, the space L_n,m ^P() is linearly homeomorphic to lP. In particular, for m=n=1 we obtain that the space of all harmonic L^P-functions in is complemented in L^P(, ). This result has been known earlier only for smooth domains.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Kahl bewertete Ringe in der nichtarchimedischen Analysis

An integral domain R provided with a non-archimedean valuation | | is called bald (kahl), if there exists a real number , 0<<1, such that the value set |R| does not meet the open interval (, 1). Bald rings are important in non-archimedean analysis because the method of iteration (classical and well known for fields with discrete valuation) is convergent in these rings. In this note it is shown that each valuated field contains big bald subrings, more precisely:Let K be a completely valuated field and let denote the valuation ring. Let {a}₁ be a sequence in converging to zero. Then the smallest complete local subring of containing all a is bald.

Implicit elliptic boundary-value problems with discontinuous nonlinearities

Let be a bounded domain in ⁿ (n3) having a smooth boundary, let be an essentially bounded real-valued function defined on × ^h, and let be a continuous real-valued function defined on a given subset Y of Y ^h. In this paper, the existence of strong solutions u W ^2,p (, ^h) W _o ^1,p (n/2<p<+) to the implicit elliptic equation (–u)=(x,u), with u=(u₁, u₂, ..., u_h) and u=(u ₁, u ₂, ..., u _h), is established. The abstract framework where the problem is placed is that of set-valued analysis.
