Long time small solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations

A sharp result on global small solutions to the Cauchy problem $$u_t = \Delta u + f\left( {u,Du,D^2 u,u_t } \right)\left( {t > 0} \right),u\left( 0 \right) = u_0 $$ In Rⁿ is obtained under the the assumption thatf is C^1+r forr>2/n and ‖u ₀‖C²(R ⁿ ) +‖u ₀‖W ₁ ² (R ⁿ ) is small. This implies that the assumption thatf is smooth and ‖u ₀ ‖W ₁ ^k (R ⁿ )+‖u ₀‖W ₂ ^k (R ⁿ ) is small fork large enough, made in earlier work, is unnecessary.     

Multiobjective programming and penalty functions

This paper generalizes the penalty function method of Zang-will for scalar problems to vector problems. The vector penalty function takes the form $$g(x,\lambda ) = f(x) + \lambda ^{ - 1} P(x)e,$$ wheree ?R ^m, with each component equal to unity;f:R ⁿ →R ^m, represents them objective functions {f ⁱ} defined onX \( \subseteq \) R ⁿ; λ ∈R ¹, λ>0;P:R ⁿ →R ¹ X \( \subseteq \) Z \( \subseteq \) R ⁿ,P(x)≦0, ∨x ∈R ⁿ,P(x) = 0 ?x ∈X. The paper studies properties of {E (Z, λ _r )} for a sequence of positive {λ _r } converging to 0 in relationship toE(X), whereE(Z, λ _r ) is the efficient set ofZ with respect tog(·, λ_r) andE(X) is the efficient set ofX with respect tof. It is seen that some of Zangwill's results do not hold for the vector problem. In addition, some new results are given.     

Boundary noncrossings of additive Wiener fields∗

Let {W _i (t), t ∈ ?₊}, i = 1, 2, be two Wiener processes, and let W ₃ = {W ₃(t), t ∈ ? ₊ ² } be a two-parameter Brownian sheet, all three processes being mutually independent. We derive upper and lower bounds for the boundary noncrossing probability P _f = P{W ₁(t ₁) + W ₂(t ₂) + W ₃(t) + f(t) ≤ u(t), t ∈ ? ₊ ² }, where f, u : ? ₊ ² → ? are two general measurable functions. We further show that, for large trend functions γf > 0, asymptotically, as γ → ∞, P _γf is equivalent to \( {P}_{\gamma}\underset{\bar{\mkern6mu}}{{}_f} \) , where \( \underset{\bar{\mkern6mu}}{f} \) is the projection of f onto some closed convex set of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of the field W(t) = W ₁(t ₁) + W ₂(t ₂) + W ₃(t). It turns out that our approach is also applicable for the additive Brownian pillow.     

Approximation for counts of 2-runs in a two state Markov chain

We consider a Markov chain X = {Xi,i = 1,2,...} with the state space {0,1},and define W =∑i=1n XiXi+1,which is the number of 2-runs in X before time n + 1.In this paper,we prove that the negative binomial distribution is an appropriate approximation for LW when VarW is greater than EW.The error estimate obtained herein improves the corresponding result in previous literatures.     

Wavelet estimations for density derivatives

Donoho et al. in 1996 have made almost perfect achievements in wavelet estimation for a density function f in Besov spaces Bsr,q(R). Motivated by their work, we define new linear and nonlinear wavelet estimators flin,nm, fnonn,m for density derivatives f(m). It turns out that the linear estimation E(‖flinn,m-f(m)‖p) for f(m) ∈ Bsr,q(R) attains the optimal when r≥ p, and the nonlinear one E(‖fnonn,m-f(m)‖p) does the same if r≤p/2(s+m)+1 . In addition, our method is applied to Sobolev spaces with non-negative integer exponents as well.     

Strong capacity-estimates for “fractional” norms

It is proved that for all fractionall the integral \(\int\limits_0^\infty {(p,\ell ) - cap(M_t )} dt^p\) is majorized by the P-th power norm of the functionu in the space ? _p ^l (Rⁿ) (here M_t={x∶¦u(x)¦?t} and (p,l)-cap(e) is the (p,l)-capacity of the compactum e?Rⁿ). Similar results are obtained for the spaces W _p ^l (Rⁿ) and the spaces of M. Riesz and Bessel potentials. One considers consequences regarding imbedding theorems of “fractional” spaces in ?_q(dμ), whereμ is a nonnegative measure in Rⁿ. One considers specially the case p=1.

Remarques sur un article de Israel Aharoni sur les prolongements lipschitziens dansc 0

We give a purely metric proof of the following result: let (X,d) be a separable metric space; for all ?>0 there is an injectionf ofX inC ₀ ⁺ such that: $$\forall x,y \in X,d(x, y) \leqq \parallel f(x) - f(y)\parallel _\infty \leqq (3 + \varepsilon )d(x, y).$$ It is a more precise version of a result of I. Aharoni. We extend it to metric space of cardinal α⁺ (for infinite α).     

An embedding theorem for a weighted space of Sobolev type and correct solvability of the Sturm-Liouville equation

We consider the weighted space W ₁ ⁽²⁾ (?,q) of Sobolev type $$W_1^{(2)} (\mathbb{R},q) = \left\{ {y \in A_{loc}^{(1)} (\mathbb{R}):\left\| {y''} \right\|_{L_1 (\mathbb{R})} + \left\| {qy} \right\|_{L_1 (\mathbb{R})} < \infty } \right\} $$ and the equation $$ - y''(x) + q(x)y(x) = f(x),x \in \mathbb{R} $$ Here f ε L ₁(?) and 0 ? q ∈ L ₁ ^loc (?). We prove the following:

1. The problems of embedding W ₁ ⁽²⁾ (?q) ? L ₁(?) and of correct solvability of (1) in L ₁(?) are equivalent
2. an embedding W ₁ ⁽²⁾ (?,q) ? L ₁(?) exists if and only if $$\exists a > 0:\mathop {\inf }\limits_{x \in R} \int_{x - a}^{x + a} {q(t)dt > 0} $$

The computation and perturbation analysis for weighted group inverse of rectangular matrices

Cen (Math. Numer. Sin. 29(1):39–48, 2007) has defined a weighted group inverse of rectangular matrices. Let A∈C ^m×n ,W∈C ^n×m , if X∈C ^m×n satisfies the system of matrix equations $$(W_{1})\quad AWXWA=A,\quad\quad (W_{2})\quad XWAWX=X,\quad\quad (W_{3})\quad AWX=XWA$$ X is called the weighted group inverse of A with W, and denoted by A _W ^# . In this paper, we will study the algebra perturbation and analytical perturbation of this kind weighted group inverse A _W ^# . Under some conditions, we give a decomposition of B _W ^# ?A _W ^# . As a results, norm estimate of ‖B _W ^# ?A _W ^# ‖ is presented (where B=A+E). An expression of algebra of perturbation is also obtained. In order to compute this weighted group inverse with ease, we give a new representation of this inverse base on Gauss-elimination, then we can calculate this weighted inverse by Gauss-elimination. In the end, we use a numerical example to show our results.

Let C(R2+ ) be a class of continuous functions f on R2+. A bivariate extension L.(f ,x,y) of BleimannButzer-Hahn operator is defined and its standard convergence properties are given. Moreover, a local analogue of Voronovskaja theorem is also given for a subclass of C(R2+).     

Solutions of second order degenerate integro-differential equations in vector-valued function spaces

We study the well-posedness of the second order degenerate integro-differential equations(P2):(Mu)(t)+α(Mu)(t) = Au(t)+ft-∞ a(ts)Au(s)ds + f(t),0t2π,with periodic boundary conditions M u(0)=Mu(2π),(Mu)(0) =(M u)(2π),in periodic Lebesgue-Bochner spaces Lp(T,X),periodic Besov spaces B s p,q(T,X) and periodic Triebel-Lizorkin spaces F s p,q(T,X),where A and M are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying D(A) D(M),a∈L1(R+) and α is a scalar number.Using known operatorvalued Fourier multiplier theorems,we completely characterize the well-posedness of(P2) in the above three function spaces.

A continuous real valued function defined on an intervalD is called crinkly iff the setf ^?1(У) ∩I is uncountable for each interval \(I \subseteqq D\) and number \(y \in (\mathop {\inf }\limits_I f,\mathop {\sup }\limits_I f)\) . The main result of the paper consists in the following assertion. Let the closed segment [0, 1] be represented as a union of four measurable, mutually nonintersecting setsE ₁,Е ₂,E ₃,E ₄. Then, for each functionH(δ) such thatH(δ)→ + ∞ andδH(δ)→0 asδ→0, there exists a crinkly functionf possessing the following five properties:

On the eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville operator with potentials from Sobolev spaces

We study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues the Sturm-Liouville operator Ly = ?y″ + q(x)y with potentials from the Sobolev space W ₂ ^θ?1 , θ ≥ 0, including the nonclassical case θ ∈ [0, 1) in which the potential is a distribution. The results are obtained in new terms. Let s _2k (q) = λ _k ^1/2 (q) ? k, s _2k?1(q) = μ _k ^1/2 (q) ? k ? 1/2, where {λ _k } ₁ ^∞ and {μ _k } ₁ ^∞ are the sequences of eigenvalues of the operator L generated by the Dirichlet and Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, respectively,. We construct special Hilbert spaces t ₂ ^θ such that the mapping F:W ₂ ^θ?1 →t ₂ ^θ defined by the equality F(q) = {s _n } ₁ ^∞ is well defined for all θ ≥ 0. The main result is as follows: for θ > 0, the mapping F is weakly nonlinear, i.e., can be expressed as F(q) = Uq + Φ(q), where U is the isomorphism of the spaces W ₂ ^θ?1 and t ₂ ^θ , and Φ(q) is a compact mapping. Moreover, we prove the estimate ∥Ф(q)∥_τ ≤ C∥q∥_θ?1, where the exact value of τ = τ(θ) > θ ? 1 is given and the constant C depends only on the radius of the ball ∥q∥_θ? ≤ R, but is independent of the function q varying in this ball.
