Dilation-analytic wave operators for three particles

Let H(0) be a dilation-analytic three-particle Schrödinger operator with analytic continuation H() (>0). Let a be zero or the energy of a two-particle bound state. Let- (a) be the Laplace operator representing the kinetic energy of the relative motion of fragments scattered in channel a. By recent results, wave operators W (±, a, ) with conjugates W (±, a, ) exist such that W (±, a, ) W (±, a, ) is a projection P (a, ) commuting with H () while [H ()-a]W (±, a, ) equals-W(±, a, ) (a) e²ⁱ. This paper shows that the wave operators transform dilation-analytic functions of particle coordinates into dilation-analytic functions. Specifically, if the left shoulder of the spectrum of P (a,) H () does not sweep across eigenvalues of H() when , then W(-, a, ) and W (+, a, ) are dilation analytic in [, ]. If the right shoulder does not sweep across eigenvalues, W(+, a, ) and W(-, a, ) are dilation analytic in [,]. A semisimple eigenvalue of H () embedded in the spectrum of P (a, ) H () does not prevent the wave operators from being dilation analytic in an interval [, ] with as an interior point.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grant DMS-8301096.     

Some functional inequalities and their Baire category properties

Summary In the paper we consider, from a topological point of view, the set of all continuous functionsf:I I for which the unique continuous solution:I – [0, ) of(f(x)) (x, (x)) and(x, (x)) (f(x)) (x, (x)), respectively, is the zero function. We obtain also some corollaries on the qualitative theory of the functional equation(f(x)) = g(x, (x)). No assumption on the iterative behaviour off is imposed.     

Tuning the mesh of a mixed method for the stream function Vorticity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations

Summary In this article we study a new mixed method for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations. The method uses two meshes, one very fine for and a coarser one for . Error estimates show that boundary layers do not require to refine the mesh for the stream function as much as for the vorticity when the Reynolds number is large. We prove estimates and study implementation problems.     

Kinematische Erzeugung der Schiebrömerflächen im Flaggenraum

Algebraic surfaces of fourth order containing three double lines with a common point are called Steiner-surfaces. These surfaces contain a two-parameter set of conics lying in the tangent planes of . According to WUNDERLICH [17] a Steiner-surface can be generated by translation of a parabola along a parabola if and only if two or three of the double lines coincide. If such a special double line, the tangent plane along it und the singular point lying on it are choosen to represent the absolute line, plane and point respectivly of a flag space F³, the conies of are circles in the sense of F³. An infinite set of oneparameter motions generating as path of a circle is given. Among these motions exist Darboux-motions, whereby the points move along congruent circles.     

Einschließungsaussagen für gewöhnliche Differentialoperatoren

Summary For differential operatorsM of second order (as defined in (1.1)) we describe a method to prove Range-Domain implications—Mu–u and an algorithm to construct these functions , , , . This method has been especially developed for application to non-inverse-positive differential operators. For example, for non-negativea ₂ and for given functions = we require =C ₀[0, 1] C ₂([0, 1]–T) whereT is some finite set), (M) (t)(t), (t[0, 1]–T) and certain additional conditions for eachtT. Such Range-Domain implications can be used to obtain a numerical error estimation for the solution of a boundary value problemMu=r; further, we use them to guarantee the existence of a solution of nonlinear boundary value problems between the bounds- and .     

Einschliessungsaussagen für Differentialoperatoren vierter Ordnung und ein Verfahren zur Berechnung von Schrankenfunktionen

For a linear fourth order ordinary differential operator M we study Range Domain Implications (RDI). Let C_o [O,1] be positive; we show under what conditions there exists a C_O[O,1] such that the following RDI holds: Mu(x) (x) (0x1) u(x) (0x1). In particular we provide a numerical procedure to calculate .RDI are used to obtain error estimations and to solve related nonlinear problems.The basic idea to prove RDI is to split M into a product of second order differential operators which are easier to handle. For the general case that there exists no global splitting the concept of a local splitting is introduced.

Growth and Size of the Exceptional Set in Nevanlinna's Second Fundamental Theorem

Let f be a transcendental meromorphic function, T(r,f) its characteristic function and S(r, f) the error term in Nevanlinna's second fundamental theorem. It is shown that for every increasing function (r) such that log (r) = o(r) we have S(r, f) = o(T(r, f)) outside an exceptional set E satisfying _E (T(r, f))dr < . This result makes clear the relationship between the size of the exceptional set and the growth of the characteristic function and implies that for functions of rapid lower growth improved conditions on the size of the exceptional set can be given. A general example of an entire function with a suitable exceptional set is constructed, showing that these results are essentially best possible.     

When do Toeplitz and Hankel operators commute?

We completely classify all Toeplitz and Hankel operators which commute; namely, we prove that that a non-trivial Hankel operator and a non-trivial Toeplitz operator commute if and only if the Hankel operator has symbolz, where is the symbol of the Toeplitz operator, and is an affine function of the characteristic function of certain anti-symmetric sets of the unit circle.     

Topologically invariant linear forms on spaces of abstract distributions on a locally compact abelian group

A special case of the main result proved in this paper is the following. IfG is a locally compact, -compact, non-compact connected abelian group, thenL ² (G)={f–*f:fL ² (G), L ¹ (G), 0 and _G =1}. In this case, any topologically invariant linear form onL ² (G) is 0.

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.     

Inclusion statements for operator equations by a continuity principle

The paper is concerned with Range-Domain Implications MvCvK, where M is a given operator and C,K denote given sets. Sufficient conditions are derived by a very general continuity principle. Various special cases are considered such as inverse-positivity, MvMwvw, and a generalization H(,[,])MvH(,[,]) v, where Mu=H(u,u) and [,] denotes an order interval. These results are applied to differential operators related to boundary or initial value problems. The goal is to furnish a simple uniform approach, to explain its application, and to provide a kind of survey on what problems have been treated in this way.     

Theorem on a convergence condition in the spaces

For a given -function (u), a condition on a -function (u) is found such that it is necessary and sufficient for the following to hold: if f_n(x) f(x) and f _n (x)M (n=1, 2, ...) where M>0 is an absolute constant, then f _n (x)–f(x)0(n). An analogous condition for convergence in Orlicz spaces is obtained as a corollary.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 615–626, May, 1977.The author thanks V. A.

Solution of the nonlinear functional equations representing the roll gap relationships in a cold mill

In the development of a roll force model for cold rolling, techniques were developed for solving the system equations which are of general interest. This paper gives a brief introduction to the physical model but concentrates on the solution of the model equations and the simulation. An unusual feature of the model was that the calculated profiles had to satisfy a number of boundary conditions at different points throughout the roll arc. A new method was developed for calculating these profiles and for determining the gradient functions which satisfied the boundary constraints.Nomenclature p() pressure at roll angle - h() gauge - a() roll radius - y() yield stress - g _i () gradient function on iterationi - e() gauge error - (, ) transition function - H(–) Heaviside unit step function at = - (–) unit impulse function at = - H(, ₁, ₂) defined asH( – ₁) –H( – ₂) - angular position from the roll center line - _T angular limits of roll arc represented - _n angular position of the neutral angle - _i angular position ofith strip elastic-plastic boundary - _pi pressure change at the boundaryi - _i , _i , _i constants defined in Appendix A - k ₁,k ₂ elastic region constants - k total number of strip boundaries (elastic-plastic and entry and exit points) - R undeformed work roll radius - R _s roll separation—distance between roll centers - h ₀₁ unstrained gauge in an elastic region - h _in gauge of the strip at the entry to the roll gap - J gauge error cost function - <x, y> inner product ofx andy - x norm ofx - L ₂[0, _T ] the space of Lebesgue square-integrable functions defined on the interval [0, _T ] - JUVY denotes (Dx)() =dx()/d The author would like to acknowledge the help given by Dr. G.

Formulation of Localized Cosine Bases that Preserve Polynomial Modulated Sinusoids

We develop a class of compactly supported window functions V_m so that each polynomial p(x) of degree m - 1 as well as p(x) modulated with an integer frequency has a locally finite representation in terms of the local cosine basis = {^k _j (x) = Vm(x - j /2 - 1/4 ) cos((2k + 1)(x - j))}. Explicit formulations for V_m and its Fourier transform are derived. It is shown that these window functions are non-negative, have minimal support of length m, and maximal smoothness of order 2m - 2. Furthermore, we determine the exact Riesz bounds of . Smoothness and stability for these bases are superior as compared to other local cosine bases with similar properties in the literature. Consequently, the bases are particularly useful for applications in signal and image processing.

Induktive Definitionen und Dilatoren

Summary In this paper we give a new and comparatively simple proof of the following theorem by Girard [1]:If x y (x,y) (where the relation is arithmetic and positive in Kleene's ), then there exists a recursive DilatorD such that x ^<y ^{(x, y).The essential feature of our proof is its very direct definition of the dilatorD. Within a certain infinitary cutfree system of inductive logic (which in fact is a modification of Girard's system in [1]) we construct in a uniform way for each ordinal a derivation T of the formula x <y (x, y), and then defineD immediately from the family (T)_On. Especially we set D():=Kleene-Brouwer length of (T).}     

Regular homomorphisms of generalized projective planes

A generalized projective plane is an incidence structure together with a relation distant on the set of points and also on the set of lines, such that any two distant points A,B (lines a,b) have a unique common line (A,B) (common point (a,b)) and three further axioms hold. Every commutative ring with 1 supplies a model. A homomorphism of into an incidence structure is called regular if the following condition and its dual are valid: A distant B and c IA,B implies c=(A,B). We shall prove the following two theorems. Let be a generalized projective plane satisfying a richness condition called (U). Let M I m. If and are regular homomorphisms of such that X = M X = M for each point X of the line m then A = B A = B for any two points A,B. If is a projective plane over a commutative ring such that (U) holds then the surjective regular homomorphisms of are induced by the ideals of the ring; in particular, the image of under a regular homomorphism is again a projective plane over a ring, and preserves distant.     

On problems with bounded state variables

A set of first-order necessary conditions is obtained for the general control problem of Bolza with bounded state constraints of the form (t, x)0, =1,...,m. With the solution required to satisfy the vector differential equationsx=f(t, x, u), whereu is control, an important feature of this paper is in relaxing the assumption on the rank of the matrix _x f _u generally made in attacking problems of this type. This is accomplished even though the solution may have an infinite number of intervals satisfying (t, x)=0 for various .The preparation of this paper was sponsored in part by the US Army Research Office, Grant No. DA-31-214-ARO(D)-355.
