Some limit theorems for walsh-harmonizable dyadic stationary sequences

This paper deals with a Walsh-harmonizable dyadic stationary sequence {X(k): k=0, 1, 2,…} which is represented as $\text{X(k)=}\text{∫}\text{0}\text{1}\text{ψ}{}_{\mathrm{k}}\text{(λ) dζ(λ)}$, where ψ_k(λ) is the k-th Walsh function and ζ(λ) is a second-order process with orthogonal increments. One of the aims is to express the process {ζ(λ): λ?[0, 1)} in terms of the Walsh–Stieltjes series ∑ X(k)ψ_k(λ) of the original sequence X(k). In order to do this a Littlewood's Tauberian theorem for a series of random variables is introduced. A finite Walsh series expression of X(k) is derived by introducing an approximate Walsh series of X(k). Also derived is a strong law of large numbers for the dyadic stationary sequences.     

An inequality relating algebraic and trigonometric derivatives

Using the correspondence x↔ cos θ, where −1≤x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, a function f(x) defined on [−1, 1] can be represented as a 2π-periodic function F(θ), and then the derivative f′(x) corresponds to . From these observations, weighted-norm estimates for first and higher derivatives by x will be obtained, using a generalized Hardy inequality. The results in turn imply the generalized Hardy inequality upon which they depend and will hold true in any weighted norm for which the generalized Hardy is true.     

Gibbs' phenomenon and arclength

The arclengths of the graphs Γ(s_N(f)) of the partial sums s_N(f) of the Fourier series of a piecewise smooth function f with a jump discontinuity grow at the rate O(logN). This problem does not arise if f is continuous, and can be removed by using the standard summability methods.     

The banach algebra A and its properties

Beurling’s algebra is considered. A* arises quite naturally in problems of summability of the Fourier series at Lebesgue points, whereas Wiener’s algebra A of functions with absolutely convergent Fourier series arises when studying the norm convergence of linear means. Certainly, both algebras are used in some other areas. A* has many properties similar to those of A, but there are certain essential distinctions. A* is a regular Banach algebra, its space of maximal ideals coincides with[−π, π], and its dual space is indicated. Analogs of Herz’s and Wiener-Ditkin’s theorems hold. Quantitative parameters in an analog of the Beurling-Pollard theorem differ from those for A. Several inclusion results comparing the algebra A* with certain Banach spaces of smooth functions are given. Some special properties of the analogous space for Fourier transforms on the real axis are presented. The paper ends with a summary of some open problems.     

Locally dense finite lattice packings of spheres

We consider finite packings of unit-balls in Euclidean 3-spaceE ³ where the centres of the balls are the lattice points of a lattice polyhedronP of a given latticeL ³E³. In particular we show that the facets ofP induced by densest sublattices ofL ³ are not too close to the next parallel layers of centres of balls. We further show that the Dirichlet-Voronoi-cells are comparatively small in this direction. The paper was stimulated by the fact that real crystals in general grow slowly in the directions normal to these dense facets.The results support, to some extent, the hypothesis that real crystals grow preferably such that they need little volume, i.e that they are locally dense.Dedicated to A.

Absolute gradient bounds for nonparametric hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature

We consider the problem of determining the existence of absolute apriori gradient bounds of nonparametric hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in ann-dimensional sphereB _R, 1>R>R ₀ ⁽ⁿ⁾ , (R ₀ ⁽ⁿ⁾ being a constant depending only onn), without imposing boundary conditions or bounds of any sort.

Locally strongly convex hypersurfaces with constant affine mean curvature

Let be a locally strongly convex hypersurface, given by a strictly convex function xn+1=f(x₁,…,xn) defined in a convex domain Ω⊂An. We consider the Riemannian metric G# on M, defined by . In this paper we prove that if M is a locally strongly convex surface with constant affine mean curvature and if M is complete with respect to the metric G#, then M must be an elliptic paraboloid.     

On basicity of exponentials inL P (dμ) and general prediction problems

Let be a nonnegative measure on the unit circle in the complex plane and 1<p<. It is of interest to find conditions on so that the set of exponentialse ⁱⁿ form a strongM-basis forL ^p (d). Some partial results are proved which can shed some light on this important open question. These results are of fundamental importance in the prediction theory of stochastic processes and other fields of applications. These results is then used to obtain a theorem which reduces some prediction problems to easier ones.To 80^th birthday of Paul ErdsThis research is supported by Office of Naval Research Grant No N00014-89-J-1824.     

D-strong and almostD-strong near-rings

In this paper,D-strong and almostD-strong near-rings have been defined. It has been proved that ifR is aD-strongS-near ring, then prime ideals, strictly prime ideals and completely prime ideals coincide. Also ifR is aD-strong near-ring with identity, then every maximal right ideal becomes a maximal ideal and moreover every 2-primitive near-ring becomes a near-field. Several properties, chain conditions and structure theorems have also been discussed.Most of the parts of this paper are included in author's doctoral dissertation at Sukhadia University Udaipur (1983). The author expresses his gratitude to Dr.S. C. Choudhary for his kind guidance.     

Quadratic variation functionals and dilation equations

Here we present some distribution function inequalities between certain functionals defined relative to a convolution approximation procedure. Such inequalities are best known when the approximation is made using dilations of the Gaussian or Cauchy kernels. In these cases, classical differential equations, the heat equation or Laplace's equation, provide the basis for comparisons; in the latter case, the quadratic functional is known as the Lusin area integral. The kernels we consider are compactly supported, and satisfy a dilation equation, rather than a differential equation. For these kernels, there is an intrinsic quadratic variation, defined from the dilation structure. We obtain good lambda distribution function inequalities between a maximal function and the quadratic variation functional.     

Finite Laurent Developments and the Logarithmic Residue Theorem in the Real Non-analytic Case

This paper develops a general abstract non-holomorphic operator calculus under minimal regularity requirements on the family of operators through the concept of algebraic eigenvalue and the use of a, very recent, transversalization theory. Further, it analyzes under what conditions the inverse of a non-analytic family admits a finite Laurent development, and employs the new findings to calculate the multiplicity of a real non-analytic family through a logarithmic residue, so extending the applicability of the classical theory of I. C. Gohberg and coworkers. Applications to matrix families and Nonlinear Analysis are also explained.     

Factorization of a selfadjoint nonanalytic operator function II. Single spectral zone

We consider a selfadjoint and smooth enough operator-valued functionL() on the segment [a, b]. LetL(a)0,L(b)0, and there exist two positive numbers and such that the inequality |(L()f, f)|< ([a, b] f=1) implies the inequality (L'()f, f)>. Then the functionL() admits a factorizationL()=M()(I-Z) whereM() is a continuous and invertible on [a, b] operator-valued function, and operatorZ is similar to a selfadjoint one. This result was obtained in the first part of the present paper [10] under a stronge conditionL()0 ( [a,b]). For analytic functionL() the result of this paper was obtained in [13].     

Factorization of matrix functions and characteristic properties of the circle

In the present paper we discuss two problems on factorizations of matrix-valued functions with respect to a simple closed rectifiable curve . These two problems are related and we show that in both of them circular contours play a remarkable role.
