Adjoints of slant Toeplitz operators

In this paper, we will use the Birkhoff's ergodic theorem to do some finer analysis on the spectral properties of slant Toeplitz operators. For example, we will show that if is an invertibleL function on the unit circle, then almost every point in (A ^* ) is not an eigenvalue ofA ^* . More specifically, we will show that the point spectrum ofA ^* is contained in a circle with positive radius.     

On Dirichlet Processes Associated with Second Order Divergence Form Operators

Let be a d - dimensional Markov family corresponding to a uniformly elliptic second order divergence form operator. We show that for any quasi continuous in the Sobolev space the process (X) admits under P ^x a decomposition into a martingale additive functional (AF) M and a continuous AF A of zero quadratic variation for almost every starting point x if q=2, for quasi every x if q>2 and for every if is continuous, d=1 and or d>1 and q>d. Our decomposition enables us to show that in the case of symmetric operator the energy of A equals zero if q=2 and that the decomposition of (X) into the martingale AF M and the AF of zero energy A is strict if for some q>d. Moreover, our decomposition provides a probabilistic representation of A .     

Interpolation theorems for a family of spanning subgraphs

Let G be a graph with order p, size q and component number . For each i between p – and q, let be the family of spanning i-edge subgraphs of G with exactly components. For an integer-valued graphical invariant if H H is an adjacent edge transformation (AET) implies |(H)-(H^')|1 then is said to be continuous with respect to AET. Similarly define the continuity of with respect to simple edge transformation (SET). Let M _j() and m _j() be the invariants defined by . It is proved that both M _p–() and m _p–(;) interpolate over , if is continuous with respect to AET, and that M _j() and m _j() interpolate over , if is continuous with respect to SET. In this way a lot of known interpolation results, including a theorem due to Schuster etc., are generalized.     

On a class of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds

Let M³ be a 3-dimensional contact metric manifold with contact structure (, , , g), such that and =R(.,)) commute. Such a manifold is called 3--manifold. We prove that every 3--manifold with -parallel Weyl tensor is either flat or a Sasakian manifold with constant curvature 1.     

C 1 changes of variable: Beurling-Helson type theorem and Hörmander conjecture on Fourier multipliers

We prove that if aC ¹ smooth change of variable : generates a bounded composition operatorff° in the spaceA _p()=L ^p ,p2, then is linear (affine).We also prove that for a nonlinearC ¹ mapping , the norms of exponentialse ⁱ as Fourier multipliers inL ^p () tend to infinity (,||). In both results the condition C ¹ is sharp, it cannot be replaced by the Lipschitz condition.     

φ-Factors for Function Seminorms

Let (, A, ) be a measure space, a function seminorm on M, the space of measurable functions on , and M the space {f M : (f) < }. Every Borel measurable function : [0, ) [0, ) induces a function : M M by (f)(x) = (|f(x)|). We introduce the concepts of -factor and -invariant space. If is a -subadditive seminorm function, we give, under suitable conditions over , necessary and sufficient conditions in order that M be invariant and prove the existence of -factors for . We also give a characterization of the best -factor for a -subadditive function seminorm when is -finite. All these results generalize those about multiplicativity factors for function seminorms proved earlier.     

Nonlinear programming,approximation, and optimization on infinitely differentiable functions

A nonnegative, infinitely differentiable function defined on the real line is called a Friedrichs mollifier function if it has support in [0, 1] and ₀ ¹ (t)dt=1. In this article, the following problem is considered. Determine _k =inf ₀ ¹ |^(k)(t)|dt,k=1, 2, ..., where ^(k) denotes thekth derivative of and the infimum is taken over the set of all mollifier functions , which is a convex set. This problem has applications to monotone polynomial approximation as shown by this author elsewhere. The problem is reducible to three equivalent problems, a nonlinear programming problem, a problem on the functions of bounded variation, and an approximation problem involving Tchebycheff polynomials. One of the results of this article shows that _k =k!2^2k–1,k=1, 2, .... The numerical values of the optimal solutions of the three problems are obtained as a function ofk. Some inequalities of independent interest are also derived.This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. GK-32712.     

Résolution numérique des grands systèmes différentiels linéaires

Sommaire La solution stricte d'un système différentiel linéaire à coefficients constants [d /d t] = [A] [] + [f (t) ] est donnée par: [ (t)]= [e^At] [ (0) ] + f [e^A(t–)] [f (T) ] d .Cette relation, utilisée dans une méthode de pas à pas, permet le calcul de [(t+u)] en fonction de [(t)]. La mise en oeuvre numérique de cette formule nécessite le calcul de [e^A] et de l'intégrale de matrice du second membre.Le sujet de cette étude est la mise au point de techniques d'approximation permettant le calcul effectif de [e ^Aµ] et de l'intégrale de matrice par des méthodes qui peuvent s'adapter en particulier aux systèmes différentiels à très grand nombre d'inconnues, qui apparaissent par exemple dans l'approximation par discrétisation enx ety, de l'équation aux dérivées partielles, dite de la chaleur.     

Linear cyclic codes of wordlength v over GF(q s ) which are also linear cyclic codes of wordlength sv over GF(q)

Any nonsingular linear transformation : GF(q^s) GF(q^s) can be used to treat a linear cyclic code of wordlength v over GF(q^s) as a linear code () of Wordlength sv over GF(q). This paper determines those linear cyclic codes and transformations for which the resulting linear code () is also cyclic.

We study the properties of these structures and give examples of normal, integrable, and Sasakian parabolic structures.     

Zur Kennzeichnung der Kollineationen zwischen Quadriken

In projective spaces Pⁿ(K), Pⁿ(K) over commutative fields K, K of characteristic 2 we consider the quadrics Q^n–1Pⁿ(K), Q,^n–1Pⁿ(K) which have the same rank and index and each of which is different from its singularity space. A one-to-one correspondence of Q^n–1 onto Q'^n–1 can be extended uniquely to a collineation of Pⁿ(K) onto Pⁿ(K) if and only if satisfies the following condition: maps the (n–2)-dimensional quadrics of Q,^n–1 of maximal rankonto (n–2)-dimensional quadrics of Q^n–1 of maximal rank (Theorem 1).

Algorithmes de calcul du maximum des formes quadratiques sur la boule unité de la norme du maximum

Résumé Certaines méthodes directes et indirectes pour le calcul de Max {x ^t Ax, (x)1} sont étudiées.Les méthodes directes sont basées sur les propriétés particulières des normes ₁, ₂ et . Ces méthodes sont très simples mais ne s'appliquent qu'à certaines familles de matrices.La méthode indirecte est la méthode autoduale introduite dans [25, 26] avec = ₁. Dans ce cas, le choix du vecteur initial pour qu'il y ait convergence vers une solution optimale est largement discuté.

Some methods for computing the maximum of quadratic from on the unit ball of the maximum norm

Summary Some direct and indirect methods are studied for computing Max {x ^t Ax, (x)1} whereA is symmetric definite positive.Direct methods are constructed using particular properties of ₁, ₂, norms. These methods are very simple, but uniquely suitable to certains families of matrices.The indirect method is the autodual method, introduced in [25, 26, 29] with = ₁. In this case the problem of choosing an initial vector so that convergence of the iterative sequence occurs to an optimal solution is largely discussed.

     

Grid structure of a ballistic function and a computing instrument with linear potentiometers for its generation

Zusammenfassung Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der ballistischen Beziehung zwischen Schrägdistanzs, Lagewinkel und Geschossflugzeitt zum Ziel im Vakuum.Der 1. Teil behandelt die Gewebestruktur dieser Beziehung. Es zeigt sich, dass sie annähernd ein Sechseckgewebe ist. Eine topologische TransformationS(s), (),T(t) wird so gefunden, dass eine Zerlegung in Funktionen einer Variablen in der FormT(t)=S(s)+() die Beziehungt(s,) mit befriedigender Genauigkeit darstellt (der maximale relative Fehler ist weniger als 1%).Im 2. Teil wird auf dieser Grundlage ein Rechengerät zur Darstellung der Funktiont(s, ) konstruiert, das lineare Potentiometer als Schaltelemente benutzt.     

Über den algorithmischen Nachweis von Ungleichungen I

We shall develop a method to prove inequalities in a unified manner. The idea is as follows: It is quite often possible to find a continuous functional : ⁿ , such that the left- and the right-hand side of a given inequality can be written in the form (u)(v) for suitable points,v=v(u). If one now constructs a map ^{n n} , which is functional increasing (i.e. for each x ⁿ (which is not a fixed point of ) the inequality (x)<((x)) should hold) one specially gets the chain (u)( u))( ²(u))... ⁿ (u)). Under quite general conditions one finds that the sequence { ⁿ (u)} _n converges tov=v(u). As a consequence one obtains the inequality (u)(v).     

Morphisms of the Heat Equation

In this article we consider a certain class of mappings between Riemannian manifolds of the type M × R^{+ *}, which preserve two objects associated to the heat equation. First we show that maps which pull back local solutions of the heat equation to local solutions of the heat equation, called heat equation morphisms have to be the product of a homothetic submersion and an affine map of R^{+ *}. Then using the above characterisation, we study maps which pull back the heat kernel to the heat kernel. We call such maps heat kernel morphisms. We show in Theorem 3 that, in the case of compact manifolds, a map : M × M × R^{+ *} N × N × R^{+ *} of the form (x,y,t) = ( (x), (y),h(t)), with surjective, is a heat kernel morphism if and only if is a homothetic covering of N()-sheets and constant dilation such that N() = ^m (m = dim M) and h(t) = ²t. In particular, if is bijective then it must be an isometry and h(t) = t. A similar problem was considered from a different point of view in [6].     

A Method of Solution for the One-Dimensional Heat Equation Subject to Nonlocal Conditions

The problem of solving the one-dimensional heat equation /t - ²/x² = f(x, t) subject to given initial and nonlocal conditions is considered. It is solved in the Laplace transform domain by taking the Laplace transform of the unknown function with respect to time t. The physical solution is recovered with the help of a numerical technique for inverting the Laplace transform.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 35K20.     

Der quadratfreie Kern der Eulerschen φ-Funktion

Sur l'' application de réciprocité pour une surface fibrée en coniques définie sur un corps local

For a proper smooth variety X defined over a local field k, unramified class field theory investigates the reciprocity map _X: SK₁(X) ^ab ₁(X) as introduced by S. Saito. We study this map in the case when X is a surface admitting a proper surjection onto a smooth geometrically connected curve C with a smooth conic as generic fibre. Without any assumption on the reduction of C, we prove that _X is injective modulo n for all n invertible in k and its cokernel is the same as that of _C.
