On Hilbert''s Integral Inequality

In this paper, we generalize Hilbert's integral inequality and its equivalent form by introducing three parameterst,a, andb.Iff, g L²[0, ∞), then[formula]where π is the best value. The inequality (1) is well known as Hilbert's integral inequality, and its equivalent form is[formula]where π²is also the best value (cf. [[1], Chap. 9]). Recently, Hu Ke made the following improvement of (1) by introducing a real functionc(x),[formula]wherek(x) = 2/π∫^∞₀(c(t²x)/(1 + t²)) dt − c(x), 1 − c(x) + c(y) ≥ 0, andf, g ≥ 0 (cf. [[2]]). In this paper, some generalizations of (1) and (2) are given in the following theorems, which are other than those in [ [2]].     

Asymptotic expansions in the conditional central limit theorem

Let X_n, n , be i.i.d. with mean 0, variance 1, and E(¦X_n¦^r) < ∞ for some r 3. Assume that Cramér's condition is fulfilled. We prove that the conditional probabilities P(1/√n Σ_{i = 1}ⁿ X_i t¦B) can be approximated by a modified Edgeworth expansion up to order o(1/n^{(r − 2)/2)}), if the distances of the set B from the σ-fields σ(X₁, …, X_n) are of order O(1/n^{(r − 2)/2)}(lg n)^β), where β < −(r − 2)/2 for r and β < −r/2 for r . An example shows that if we replace β < −(r − 2)/2 by β = −(r − 2)/2 for r (β < −r/2 by β = −r/2 for r ) we can only obtain the approximation order O(1/n^{(r − 2)/2)}) for r (O(lg lgn/n^{(r − 2)/2)}) for r ).

Full-size image

whereω(t) is a concave modulus of continuity,r, m: 1mr,are integers, andBB₀(r, m, ω). We show that theextremal functionsZ_Bhaver+1 points of alternance andthe full modulus of continuity ofZ^(r)_B: ω(Z^(r)_B; t)=ω(t) for allt[0, 1]. This generalizesthe Karlin's result on the extremality of classical Zolotarevpolynomials in the problem () forω(t)=tand allBB_r.     

The cardinals below

Properties of convergence for -Bernstein polynomials

In this paper, we discuss properties of the ω,q-Bernstein polynomials introduced by S. Lewanowicz and P. Woźny in [S. Lewanowicz, P. Woźny, Generalized Bernstein polynomials, BIT 44 (1) (2004) 63–78], where fC[0,1], ω,q>0, ω≠1,q⁻¹,…,q⁻ⁿ⁺¹. When ω=0, we recover the q-Bernstein polynomials introduced by [G.M. Phillips, Bernstein polynomials based on the q-integers, Ann. Numer. Math. 4 (1997) 511–518]; when q=1, we recover the classical Bernstein polynomials. We compute the second moment of , and demonstrate that if f is convex and ω,q(0,1) or (1,∞), then are monotonically decreasing in n for all x[0,1]. We prove that for ω(0,1), q_n(0,1], the sequence converges to f uniformly on [0,1] for each fC[0,1] if and only if lim_n→∞q_n=1. For fixed ω,q(0,1), we prove that the sequence converges for each fC[0,1] and obtain the estimates for the rate of convergence of by the modulus of continuity of f, and the estimates are sharp in the sense of order for Lipschitz continuous functions.     

Global existence and blow-up of solutionsfor a higher-order kirchhoff-type equation with nonlinear dissipation

This paper deals with the higher-order Kirchhoff-type equation with nonlinear dissipationu_tt+(∫_Ω׀D^mu׀²dx)^q(−Δ)^mu+u_t׀u_t׀^r=׀u׀^pu,xΩ,t>0,in a bounded domain, where m < 1 is a positive integer, q, p, r < 0 arepositive constants. We obtain that the solution exists globally if p ≤ r, while ifp > max r, 2q , then for any initial data with negative initial energy, the solution blowsup at finite time in L^p+2 norm.     

A Two-Parameter Family of Orthogonal Polynomials with Respect to a Jacobi-Type Weight on the Unit Circle

A two-parameter family of polynomials is introduced by a recursion formula. The polynomials are orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the weight ω_{α, β}(θ) = |(1 − z)^α(1 + z)^β|², α, β > − , z = e^iθ. Explicit representation, norm estimates, shift identities, and explicit connection to Jacobi polynomials on the real interval [−1, 1] is presented.     

Separation of the elasticity theory equations with radial inhomogeneity : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 1139–1144

The separation of a system of three elasticity theory equations in the static case to a system of two equations and one independent equation for a space with a radial inhomogeneity is presented in a spherical coordinate system. These equations are solved by separation of variables for specific kinds of radial inhomogeneity. In particular, solutions are found for the Lamé coefficients μ = const, λ (ifr) is an arbitrary function, μ = μ_or^β, λ = λ_or^β.While methods of solving problems associated with the equilibrium of an elastic homogeneous sphere have been studied sufficiently [1], problems with spherical symmetry of the boundary conditions have mainly been solved for an inhomogeneous sphere [2, 3],For a particular kind of inhomogeneity dependent on one Cartesian coordinate, the equations have been separated completely in [4], A system of three equations with a radial inhomogeneity in a spherical coordinate system is separated below by a method analogous to [4].     

Average CaseL∞-Approximation in the Presence of Gaussian Noise

We consider the average caseL_∞-approximation of functions fromC^r([0, 1]) with respect to ther-fold Wiener measure. An approximation is based onnfunction evaluations in the presence of Gaussian noise with varianceσ²>0. We show that the n th minimal average error is of ordern^{−(2r+1)/(4r+4)} ln^1/2 n, and that it can be attained either by the piecewise polynomial approximation using repetitive observations, or by the smoothing spline approximation using non-repetitive observations. This completes the already known results forL_q-approximation withq<∞ andσ0, and forL_∞-approximation withσ=0.     

Trace cocharacters and the Kronecker products of Schur functions

It follows from the theory of trace identities developed by Procesi and Razmyslov that the trace cocharacters arising from the trace identities of the algebra M_r(F) of r×r matrices over a field F of characteristic zero are given by TC_r,n=∑_λΛr(n)χ^λχ^λ where χ^λχ^λ denotes the Kronecker product of the irreducible characters of the symmetric group associated with the partition λ with itself and Λ_r(n) denotes the set of partitions of n with r or fewer parts, i.e. the set of partitions λ=(λ₁λ_k) with kr. We study the behavior of the sequence of trace cocharacters TC_r,n. In particular, we study the behavior of the coefficient of χ^(ν,n−m) in TC_r,n as a function of n where ν=(ν₁ν_k) is some fixed partition of m and n−mν_k. Our main result shows that such coefficients always grow as a polynomial in n of degree r−1.     

A Family of Binary (<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>)-Nets of Strength 5

(t,m,s)-Nets were defined by Niederreiter [Monatshefte fur Mathematik, Vol. 104 (1987) pp. 273–337], based on earlier work by Sobol’ [Zh. Vychisl Mat. i mat. Fiz, Vol. 7 (1967) pp. 784–802], in the context of quasi-Monte Carlo methods of numerical integration. Formulated in combinatorial/coding theoretic terms a binary linear (m−k,m,s)₂-net is a family of ks vectors in F₂^m satisfying certain linear independence conditions (s is the length, m the dimension and k the strength: certain subsets of k vectors must be linearly independent). Helleseth et al. [5] recently constructed (2r−3,2r+2,2^r−1)₂-nets for every r. In this paper, we give a direct and elementary construction for (2r−3,2r+2,2^r+1)₂-nets based on a family of binary linear codes of minimum distance 6.Communicated by: T. Helleseth     

SOME EULER SPACES OF DIFFERENCE SEQUENCES OF ORDER m

Kizmaz [13] studied the difference sequence spaces e∞(△), c(△), and c0(△).Several article dealt with the sets of sequences of m-th order difference of which are bounded, convergent, or convergent to zero. Altay and Basar [5] and Altay, Basar, and Mursaleen [7] introduced the Euler sequence spaces eτ0, eτ0, andeτ∞, respectively. The main purpose of this article is to introduce the spaces eτ0(△(m)), eτc(△(m)), and eτ∞(△(m)) consisting of all sequences whose mth order differences are in the Euler spaces eτ0, eτc, and eτ∞, respectively. Moreover, the authors give some topological properties and inclusion relations, and determine the α-, β-, and γ-duals of the spaces eτ0(△(m)), eτc(△(m)), and eτ∞(△(m)), and the Schauder basis of the spaces eτ0(△(m)), eτc(△(m)). The last section of the article is devoted to the characterization of some matrix mappings on the sequence space eτc(△(m)).     

Sur l'approximation de fonctions intégrables sur [0, 1] par des polynômes de Bernstein modifies

We study here a new kind of modified Bernstein polynomial operators on L¹(0, 1) introduced by J. L. Durrmeyer in [4]. We define for f integrable on [0, 1] the modified Bernstein polynomial M_n f: M_nf(x) = (n + 1) ∑ⁿ_{k = o}P_nk(x)∝¹₀ P_nk(t) f(t) dt. If the derivative d^r f/dx^r with r 0 is continuous on [0, 1], d^r/dx^rM_n f converge uniformly on [0,1] and sup_xε[0,1] ¦M_n f(x) − f(x)¦ 2ω_f(1/trn) if ω_f is the modulus of continuity of f. If f is in Sobolev space W_l,p(0, 1) with l 0, p 1, M_n f converge to f in w^l,p(0, 1).     

On the structure of biharmonic functions satisfying the clamped plate conditions on a right angle

Let u(r,θ) be biharmonic and bounded in the circular sector ¦θ¦ < π/4, 0 < r < ρ (ρ > 1) and vanish together with δu/δθ when ¦θ¦ = π/4. We consider the transform û(p,θ) = ∝₀¹r^{p − 1}u(r,θ)dr. We show that for any fixed θ₀ u(p,θ₀) is meromorphic with no real poles and cannot be entire unless u(r, θ₀) ≡ 0. It follows then from a theorem of Doetsch that u(r, θ₀) either vanishes identically or oscillates as r → 0.     

The heat flow in nonlinear Hodge theory

We study the nonlinear Hodge system dω=0 and δ(ρ(|ω|²)ω)=0 for an exterior form ω on a compact oriented Riemannian manifold M, where ρ(Q) is a given positive function. The solutions are called ρ-harmonic forms. They are the stationary points on cohomology classes of the functional with e′(Q)=ρ(Q)/2. The ρ-codifferential of a form ω is defined as δ_ρω=ρ⁻¹δ(ρω) with ρ=ρ(|ω|²).We evolve a given closed form ω₀ by the nonlinear heat flow system for a time-dependent exterior form ω(x,t) on M. This system is the differential of the normalized gradient flow for E(ω) with ω=ω₀+du. Under a technical assumption on the function 2ρ′(Q)Q/ρ(Q), we show that the nonlinear heat flow system , with initial condition ω(·,0)=ω₀, has a unique solution for all times, which converges to a ρ-harmonic form in the cohomology class of ω₀. This yields a nonlinear Hodge theorem that every cohomology class of M has a unique ρ-harmonic representative.     

RELATIVE WIDTH OF SMOOTH CLASSES OF MULTIVARIATE PERIODIC FUNCTIONS WITH RESTRICTIONS ON ITERATED LAPLACE DERIVATIVES IN THE L2-METRIC

For two subsets W and V of a Banach space X, let Kn(W, V, X) denote the relative Kolmogorov n-width of W relative to V defined by Kn (W, V, X) := inf sup Ln f∈W g∈V∩Ln inf ‖f-g‖x,where the infimum is taken over all n-dimensional linear subspaces Ln of X. Let W2(△r) denote the class of 2w-periodic functions f with d-variables satisfying ∫[-π,π]d |△rf(x)|2dx ≤ 1,while △r is the r-iterate of Laplace operator △. This article discusses the relative Kolmogorov n-width of W2(△r) relative to W2(△r) in Lq([-r, πr]d) (1 ≤ q ≤∞), and obtain its weak asymptotic result.     

Best Polynomial Approximations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript> and Widths of Some Classes of Functions

We obtain the exact values of extremal characteristics of a special form that connect the best polynomial approximations of functions f(x) ∈ L ₂ ^r (r ∈ ℤ₊) and expressions containing moduli of continuity of the kth order ω_k(f(^r), t). Using these exact values, we generalize the Taikov result for inequalities that connect the best polynomial approximations and moduli of continuity of functions from L ₂. For the classes (k, r, Ψ_*) defined by ω _k(f ^(r), t) and the majorant , we determine the exact values of different widths in the space L₂.__________Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 56, No. 11, pp. 1458–1466, November, 2004.     

Borel ideals vs. Borel sets of countable relations and trees

For every μ < ω₁, let I_μ be the ideal of all sets S ω^μ whose order type is <ω^μ. If μ = 1, then I₁ is simply the ideal of all finite subsets of ω, which is known to be Σ⁰₂-complete. We show that for every μ < ω₁, I_μ is Σ⁰_2μ-complete. As corollaries to this theorem, we prove that the set WO_ωμ of well orderings Rω × ω of order type <ω^μ is Σ⁰_2μ-complete, the set LP_μ of linear orderings R ω × ω that have a μ-limit point is Σ⁰_2μ+1-complete. Similarly, we determine the exact complexity of the set LT_μ of trees T ^<ωω of Luzin height <μ, the set WR_μ of well-founded partial orderings of height <μ, the set LR_μ of partial orderings of Luzin height <μ, the set WF_μ of well-founded trees T ^<ωω of height <μ(the latter is an old theorem of Luzin). The proofs use the notions of Wadge reducibility and Wadge games. We also present a short proof to a theorem of Luzin and Garland about the relation between the height of ‘the shortest tree’ representing a Borel set and the complexity of the set.     

Jackson's theorem for compact connected Lie groups

We prove that for f ε E = C(G) or L^p(G), 1 p < ∞, where G is any compact connected Lie group, and for n 1, there is a trigonometric polynomial t_n on G of degree n so that f − t_nE C_rω_r(n⁻¹,f). Here ω_r(t, f) denotes the rth modulus of continuity of f. Using this and sharp estimates of the Lebesgue constants recently obtained by Giulini and Travaglini, we obtain “best possible” criteria for the norm convergence of the Fourier series of f.     

Asymptotic Behaviour of Best lp-Approximations from Affi ne Subspaces

In this paper we consider the problem of best approximation in ℓ_pⁿ, 1<p∞. If h_p, 1<p<∞, denotes the best ℓ_p-approximation of the element h ⁿ from a proper affine subspace K of ⁿ, hK, then lim_p→∞h_p=h_∞^*, where h_∞^* is a best uniform approximation of h from K, the so-called strict uniform approximation. Our aim is to prove that for all r there are α_j ⁿ, 1jr, such that
