A characterization of Gaussian measures on locally compact Abelian groups

Let and be independent random variables having equal variance. In order that + and – be independent, it is necessary and sufficient that and have normal distributions. This result of Bernshtein [1] is carried over in [7] to the case when and take values in a locally compact Abelian group. In the present note, a characterization of Gaussian measures on locally compact Abelian groups is given in which in place of + and –, functions of and are considered which satisfy the associativity equation.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 22, No. 5, pp. 759–762, November, 1977.

Über eine Verallgemeinerung der Nicoletti-Aufgabe für Funktional-Differentialgleichungen mit voreilendem Argument

We consider a functional differential equation (1) (t)=F(t,) fort[0,+) together with a generalized Nicoletti condition (2)H()=. The functionF: [0,+)×C ⁰[0,+)B is given (whereB denotes the Banach space) and the value ofF (t, ) may depend on the values of (t) fort[0,+);H: C ⁰[0,+)B is a given linear operator and B. Under suitable assumptions we show that when the solution :[0,+)B satisfies a certain growth condition, then there exists exactly one solution of the problem (1), (2).     

Perron-frobenius theory for Banach spaces with a hyperbolic cone

If X is a real Banach space, then the inequality x defines so-called hyperbolic cone in E=X. We develop a relevant version of Perron-Frobenius-Krein-Rutman theory.

A “build-down” scheme for linear programming

We propose a build-down scheme for Karmarkar's algorithm and the simplex method for linear programming. The scheme starts with an optimal basis candidate set including all columns of the constraint matrix, then constructs a dual ellipsoid containing all optimal dual solutions. A pricing rule is developed for checking whether or not a dual hyperplane corresponding to a column intersects the containing ellipsoid. If the dual hyperplane has no intersection with the ellipsoid, its corresponding column will not appear in any of the optimal bases, and can be eliminated from. As these methods iterate, is eventually built-down to a set that contains only the optimal basic columns.     

Runge property and multiplicity of solutions for elliptic equations in ℝN with a monotone nonlinearity

In this paper, we describe a method for extending (in some approximated sense) solutions of a nonlinear P.D.E. on a domain , to solutions in a domain containing . Such an extension property, the Runge property, is well known for a large class of linear problems including elliptic equations. We prove here the Runge property for semilinear problems of the kind -u+g(u)=f, with f L _loc ¹ (^N). (As a consequence, we get infinitely many solutions for these problems). The proof is based on a homotopy method, and requires a refinement of the linear results: We prove that the Runge extension v on of a solution u in for a linear elliptic equation Lu=f can be choosen in order to depend continuously on u and the coefficients of L.     

Sur l'homotopie rationnelle des espaces fonctionnels

Let X be a nilpotent space such that it exists k1 with H^p (X,) = 0 p > k and H^k (X,) 0, let Y be a (m–1)-connected space with mk+2, then the rational homotopy Lie algebra of Y^X (resp. is isomorphic as Lie algebra, to H^* (X,) (_* (Y) ) (resp.⁺ (X,) (_* (Y) )). If X is formal and Y -formal, then the spaces Y^X and are -formal. Furthermore, if dim _* (Y) is infinite and dim H^* (Y,Q) is finite, then the sequence of Betti numbers of grows exponentially.     

A simplicial approximation of a solution for the nonlinear complementarity problem

For a given map f from the n-dimensional Euclidean space En into itself, we consider the complementary problem of finding a nonnegative vector x in En whose imagef(x) is also nonnegative and such that the two vectors are orthogonal. It is the unifying mathematical form for several problems arising in different fields such as mathematical programming, game theory and economics.In this paper a new algorithm is developed based on the adjacent simplex technique , which was used by Garcia, Lemke and Lüthi for approximating an equilibrium point of a noncooperative n-person game. An almost-complementary path leads to a complementary simplex, which approximates a stationary point. Because most of the existence proofs for the nonlinear complementarity use the relationship between stationary points and complementarity, the algorithm gives constructive proofs for many existence theorems. If a better approximation is desired, the algorithm may be restarted from any point. The dimension of the simplices on the path is varying, which computationally should result in some savings.     

Some inequalities about the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes

Let R(r, m) be the rth order Reed-Muller code of length 2 ^m , and let (r, m) be its covering radius. We prove that if 2 k m - r - 1, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m + 2(k - 1). We also prove that if m - r 4, 2 k m - r - 1, and R(r, m) has a coset with minimal weight (r, m) which does not contain any vector of weight (r, m) + 2, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m) + 2k(. These inequalities improve repeated use of the known result (r + 1, m + 1) (r, m).This work was supported by a grant from the Research Council of Wright State University.     

On the Size of a Cap in PG(n,q) with q Even and n ≥ 3

Let m2(n,q), m2(n,q) be, respectively, the maximum value, the second largest value of k for which there exists a complete k-cap in PG(n,q). In this paper, the known upper bound on m2(3,q), q even, q 8, is improved. This new upper bound on m2(3,q) is then used to improve the upper bounds on m2(n,q), q even, q 8 and n 4.

Linear programming with multiple objective functions: Step method (stem)

This paper describes a solution technique for Linear Programming problems with multiple objective functions. In this type of problem it is often necessary to replace the concept of optimum with that of best compromise. In contrast with methods dealing with a priori weighted sums of the objective functions, the method described here involves a sequential exploration of solutions. This exploration is guided to some extent by the decision maker who intervenes by means of defined responses to precise questions posed by the algorithm. Thus, in this man-model symbiosis, phases of computation alternate with phases of decision. The process allows the decision-maker to learn to recognize good solutions and the relative importance of the objectives. The final decision (best compromise) furnished by the man-model system is obtained after a small number of successive phases.This paper was presented at the 7th Mathematical Programming Symposium 1970, The Hague, The Netherlands.     

Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics (Statistical Foundations): 3. Hydrodynamic Equations

We show that all the hydrodynamic equations can be obtained from the BBGKY hierarchy. The theory is constructed by expanding the distribution functions in series in a small parameter = R/L 10^–8, where R 10^–7cm is the radius of the correlation sphere and L is the characteristic macroscopic dimension. We also show that in the zeroth-order approximation with respect to this parameter, the BBGKY hierarchy implies the local equilibrium and the transport equations for the ideal Euler fluid; in the first-order approximation with respect to , the BBGKY hierarchy implies the hydrodynamic equations for viscous fluids. Moreover, we prove that the intrinsic energy flux must include both the kinetic energy flux proportional to the temperature gradient and the potential energy flux proportional to the density gradient. We show that the hydrodynamic equations hold for t 10^–12s and L R 10^–7cm.

On the construction and calculation of optimal nonlifting critical airfoils

Numerical calculations are carried out in the hodograph plane to construct optimal critical airfoil shapes and the flow about them. These optimal airfoil shapes give the highest free-stream Mach numberM for a given thickness ratio and tail angle _t (nonlifting) for which the flow is nowhere supersonic. A relationship betweenM and for various _t is given. Analytical and numerical solutions to the same problem are found on the basis of transonic small-disturbance theory. These results provide a limiting case asM 1, 0 and agree well with the calculations of the full problem. Using a numerical method to calculate the flow about general (subsonic) airfoils, a comparison is made between the critical free-stream Mach numbers for some standard airfoil shapes and the optimal free stream Mach number of the corresponding and _t . A significant increase in the critical free-stream Mach number is found for the optimal airfoils.

On Sets of Planes in Projective Spaces Intersecting Mutually in One Point

Let be a projective space. In this paper we consider sets of planes of such that any two planes of intersect in exactly one point. Our investigation will lead to a classification of these sets in most cases. There are the following two main results:- If is a set of planes of a projective space intersecting mutually in one point, then the set of intersection points spans a subspace of dimension 6. There are up to isomorphism only three sets where this dimension is 6. These sets are related to the Fano plane.- If is a set of planes of PG(d,q) intersecting mutually in one point, and if q3, 3(q²+q+1), then is either contained in a Klein quadric in PG(5,q), or is a dual partial spread in PG(4,q), or all elements of pass through a common point.     

Tritronquée Solutions of Perturbed First Painlevé Equations

We consider solutions of the class of ODEs y=6y ²–x , which contains the first Painlevé equation (PI) for =1. It is well known that PI has a unique real solution (called a tritronquée solution) asymptotic to and decaying monotonically on the positive real line. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a corresponding solution for each real nonnegative 1.     

Best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel of a biharmonic equation and optimal renewal of the values of operators

For the classB _p , 0 < 1, 1p , of 2-periodic functions of the form f(t)=u(,t), whereu (,t) is a biharmonic function in the unit disk, we obtain the exact values of the best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel K(t) of the convolution f= K *g, gl, with respect to the metric of L₁. We also consider the problem of renewal of the values of the convolution operator by using the information about the values of the boundary functions.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol.47, No. 11, pp. 1549–1557, November, 1995.
