On the Growth of Entire Functions of Exponential Type near a Straight Line

Let be a sequence of complex numbers such that as . For close to the imaginary axis, upper bounds of the indicator of a nonzero entire function of exponential type with minimal growth vanishing on is obtained. These bounds give sufficient conditions for the system of exponents to be incomplete in an unbounded domain in .     

Approximation of Classes of Periodic Functions in Several Variables

We study the approximation of the classes and of periodic functions of several variables by multiple Fourier sums of fixed order constructed with regard to individual properties of functions from these classes. In a number of cases, such approximations allow us to achieve a better degree of approximation of the classes indicated above as compared to their approximation by staircase hyperbolic Fourier sums.     

Stability in the C-Norm and W ∞ 1 -Norm of Classes of Lipschitz Functions of One Variable

In the framework of Kopylov's -stability concept, we study some stable classes of Lipschitz functions of one real variable. We obtain an exhaustive (nontrivial) classification for these classes and establish the relevant stability estimates in the -norm.     

The Order of Best Approximation in Some Classes of Functions

Starting from the equivalence between the Ditzian–Totik modulus and , where , in this article large classes of functions are introduced for which the modulus can be easily calculated. As a consequence, very good estimates for the bestapproximation are obtained. The attempts to estimate or calculate themodulus can be a very intricateproblem.     

A Criterion for Contiguity of Quasiconcave Functions

Quasiconcave functions and belong to the same scale if there exist quasiconcave functions and and numbers such that and . We establish a criterion for such functions to belong to the same scale up to equivalence. This criterion is obtained in terms of nodes of the corresponding linear-constant step-functions. It turns out that nodes must be equivalent to sequences.     

New Proof of the Semmes Inequality for the Derivative of the Rational Function

In the open disk of the complex plane, we consider the following spaces of functions: the Bloch space ; the Hardy--Sobolev space ; and the Hardy--Besov space . It is shown that if all the poles of the rational function R of degree n, , lie in the domain , then , where and depends only on . The second of these inequalities for the case of the half-plane was obtained by Semmes in 1984. The proof given by Semmes was based on the use of Hankel operators, while our proof uses the special integral representation of rational functions.     

Approximation of the $$ \bar \Psi $$-integrals of functions defined on the real axis by Fourier operators

We find asymptotic formulas for the least upper bounds of the deviations of Fourier operators on classes of functions locally summable on the entire real axis and defined by -integrals. On these classes, we also obtain asymptotic equalities for the upper bounds of functionals that characterize the simultaneous approximation of several functions.Translated from Ukrainskyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 56, No. 7, pp. 960–965, July, 2004.     

Majorants and Extreme Points of Unit Balls in Bernstein Spaces

The Bernstein space B ^p () (1 $$ " align="middle" border="0"> 0) is the set of functions from L ^p( ) having Fourier transforms (in the sense of generalized functions) with supports in the compact segment [- , ]. Every function f has an analytic continuation onto the complex plane, which is an entire function of exponential type . The spaces B ^p ()\, are conjugate Banach spaces. Therefore, the closed unit ball in B ^p () has a rich set of extreme (boundary) points: coincides with the weakly ^* closed convex hull of its extreme points. Since, for 1< p< , B ^p () is a uniformly convex space, only the balls and have nontrivially arranged sets of extreme points. In this paper, in terms of zeros of entire functions, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of extremeness for functions from .     

Elementary Classes of Groups

Let be a class of groups. The elementary class with base is defined as the minimal class of groups containing and closed with respect to taking subgroups, quotient groups, group extensions, and direct limits. Properties of such classes are studied. Some applications to the theory of elementary amenable groups and a relation to the Kurosh--Chernikov classes of generalized solvable groups are considered.     

Extremum Problem for Periodic Functions Supported in a Ball

We consider the Turan n-dimensional extremum problem of finding the value of A_n(hB ⁿ ) which is equal to the maximum zero Fourier coefficient of periodic functions f supported in the Euclidean ball hB ⁿ of radius h, having nonnegative Fourier coefficients, and satisfying the condition f(0)= 1. This problem originates from applications to number theory. The case of A₁([–h,h]) was studied by S. B. Stechkin. For A_n(hB ⁿ we obtain an asymptotic series as h 0 whose leading term is found by solving an n-dimensional extremum problem for entire functions of exponential type.     

$$\omega $$ -Fibered Formations and Fitting Classes of Finite Groups

In this paper, we suggest a new functional approach to the study of group classes which enables us to describe all formations and Fitting classes of finite groups in the language of functions. The notions of -fibered formation and of -fibered Fitting class with direction are introduced. A direction is defined as a mapping of the set of all primes into the set of all nonempty Fitting formations. The existence of infinitely many mappings of this kind makes it possible to construct new forms of formations and Fitting classes for a given nonempty set . In particular, an -local formation is an -fibered formation with a direction such that for any prime p. In the paper we study some basic properties of -fibered formations and of -fibered Fitting classes with direction and obtain the structure of their minimal satellites for a given .     

Classes of (ψ, β)-differentiable functions of a complex variable and approximation by linear averages of their Faber series

We introduce the notion of (, )-derivative of a function of one complex variable, and define on the basis of this the classes of (, )-differentiable analytic functions in a bounded domain G. The classes consist of the Cauchy-type integrals whose densities f() are such that the induced functions on the unit circle are periodic functions of classes . We consider approximation of functions by algebraic polynomials constructed from their series expansions in Faber polynomials.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 11, pp. 1556–1570, November, 1992.     

Limiting Laws for Entrance Times of Critical Mappings of a Circle

A renormalization group transformation R ₁ has a single stable point in the space of the analytic circle homeomorphisms with a single cubic critical point and with the rotation number (the golden mean). Let a homeomorphism T be the C ¹-conjugate of . We let denote the sequence of distribution functions of the time of the kth entrance to the nth renormalization interval for the homeomorphism T. We prove that for any , the sequence has a finite limiting distribution function , which is continuous in , and singular on the interval [0,1]. We also study the sequence for k>1.     

Fitting Classes with Given Properties of Hall Subgroups

In the theory of formations of finite solvable groups, there is a well-known result due to Blessenohl claiming that, for any local formation , the class of groups for which every Hall π-subgroup belongs to also is a local formation. In the present paper, we obtain a result exactly dual to that indicated in the theory of Fitting classes. We prove that if a Fitting class is local, then the class of all groups all of whose Hall π-subgroups belong to is also local.__________Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 78, no. 2, 2005, pp. 234–240.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by V.

Resolution of singularities in Denjoy-Carleman classes

We show that a version of the desingularization theorem of Hironaka holds for certain classes of functions (essentially, for subrings that exclude flat functions and are closed under differentiation and the solution of implicit equations). Examples are quasianalytic classes, introduced by E. Borel a century ago and characterized by the Denjoy-Carleman theorem. These classes have been poorly understood in dimension > 1. Resolution of singularities can be used to obtain many new results; for example, topological Noetherianity, curve selection, ojasiewicz inequalities, division properties.     

Classes of functions defined on the real line and their approximation by entire functions. I

We introduce classes of functions defined on the real line which in the periodic case become the classes defined by multipliers (·) and translations with respect to the argument equal to . We study the simplest properties of these classes needed for the study of their approximation characteristics which will be discussed in the second part of the paper.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 102–112, January, 1990.     

Approximation Characteristics of Spaces $$S_\phi ^p$$

We introduce linear vector spaces and study their approximation properties. By using the general results obtained, we establish statements concerning the approximation of classes of periodic functions of many variables by trigonometric polynomials.     

Classes of pairs of meromorphic matrix valued functions generated by nonnegative kernels and associated Nevanlinna-Pick problems

Families of pairs of matrix-valued meromorphic functions (,P) depending on two parameters andP are introduced. They are the projective analogues of classes of functions studied in [1] and include as special cases the projective Schur, Nevanlinna and Carathéodory classes. A two sided Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem is defined and solved in (,P), using the fundamental matrix inequality method.
