Characterizations and construction of Poisson/symplectic and symmetric multi-revolution implicit Runge–Kutta methods of high order

This paper deals with the characterizations and construction of Poisson/symplectic and (φ⁻¹)-symmetric implicit high-order multi-revolution Runge–Kutta methods (MRRKMs). The basic tool is a modified W-transformation based on quadrature formulas and orthogonal polynomials. Two sufficient conditions can be obtained under which MRRKMs are Poisson/symplectic or (φ⁻¹)-symmetric. We construct two classes of high order implicit MRRKMs by using these sufficient conditions. Our results can be considered as an extension of related results of the standard Runge–Kutta methods in some references.     

Completions of -algebras

A μ-algebra is a model of a first-order theory that is an extension of the theory of bounded lattices, that comes with pairs of terms (f,μ_x.f) where μ_x.f is axiomatized as the least prefixed point of f, whose axioms are equations or equational implications.Standard μ-algebras are complete meaning that their lattice reduct is a complete lattice. We prove that any nontrivial quasivariety of μ-algebras contains a μ-algebra that has no embedding into a complete μ-algebra.We then focus on modal μ-algebras, i.e. algebraic models of the propositional modal μ-calculus. We prove that free modal μ-algebras satisfy a condition–reminiscent of Whitman’s condition for free lattices–which allows us to prove that (i) modal operators are adjoints on free modal μ-algebras, (ii) least prefixed points of Σ₁-operations satisfy the constructive relation μ_x.f=_n≥0fⁿ(). These properties imply the following statement: the MacNeille–Dedekind completion of a free modal μ-algebra is a complete modal μ-algebra and moreover the canonical embedding preserves all the operations in the class of the fixed point alternation hierarchy.     

Stability for parametric implicit vector equilibrium problems

In this paper, we consider a class of parametric implicit vector equilibrium problems in Hausdorff topological vector spaces where a mapping f and a set K are perturbed by parameters and λ, respectively. We establish sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity and lower semicontinuity of the solution set mapping S:Λ₁×Λ₂→2^X for such parametric implicit vector equilibrium problems.     

The topological structure of fuzzy sets with endograph metric

For a non-degenerate convex subset Y of the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rⁿ, let be the family of all fuzzy sets ofRⁿ, which are upper-semicontinuous, fuzzy convex and normal with compact supports contained in Y. We show that the space with the topology of endograph metric is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube Q=[-1,1]^ω iff Y is compact; and the space is homeomorphic to {(x_n)Q:sup|x_n|<1} iff Y is non-compact and locally compact.     

On nonatomic submeasures on . II

It is shown that if two submeasures on that are lim sup's of sequences of measures have the same zero sets, and one is nonatomic, so is the other, and they are (ε-δ)-equivalent. Moreover, if a submeasure η is the lim sup of a sequence of lower semi-continuous (lsc) submeasures and is 0-dominated by the so-called core γ^• of an lsc submeasure γ, then η is also (ε-δ)-dominated by γ^•. And if a submeasure η of this type is 0-dominated by a nonatomic submeasure, then it is nonatomic as well.     

Projective functors for algebraic groups

We investigate the regular subquotient category introduced by Soergel in [W. Soergel, On the relation between intersection cohomology and representation theory in positive characteristic, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 152 (1–3) (2000) 311–335]. A detailed study of projective functors enables one to relate those categories for semi-simple algebraic group G and its subgroup schemata G_rT. As an application we derive some information about the characters of tilting modules for G.     

Ordinal machines and admissible recursion theory

We generalize standard Turing machines, which work in time ω on a tape of length ω, to α-machines with time α and tape length α, for α some limit ordinal. We show that this provides a simple machine model adequate for classical admissible recursion theory as developed by G. Sacks and his school. For α an admissible ordinal, the basic notions of α-recursive or α-recursively enumerable are equivalent to being computable or computably enumerable by an α-machine, respectively. We emphasize the algorithmic approach to admissible recursion theory by indicating how the proof of the Sacks–Simpson theorem, i.e., the solution of Post’s problem in α-recursion theory, could be based on α-machines, without involving constructibility theory.     

Existence results for -point boundary value problem of second order ordinary differential equations

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to the boundary value problemwhere ξ_i(0,1) with 0<ξ₁<ξ₂<<ξ_n-2<1, a_i, b_i[0,∞) with and . By applying the Krasnoselskii's fixed-point theorem in Banach spaces, some sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of at least one positive solution or at least two positive solutions are established for the above general n-point boundary value problem.     

Interlacing and spacing properties of zeros of polynomials, in particular of orthogonal and -minimal polynomials,

Let be a sequence of polynomials with real coefficients such that uniformly for [α-δ,β+δ] with G(eⁱ)≠0 on [α,β], where 0α<βπ and δ>0. First it is shown that the zeros of are dense in [α,β], have spacing of precise order π/n and are interlacing with the zeros of p_n+1(cos) on [α,β] for every nn₀. Let be another sequence of real polynomials with uniformly on [α-δ,β+δ] and on [α,β]. It is demonstrated that for all sufficiently large n the zeros of p_n(cos) and strictly interlace on [α,β] if on [α,β]. If the last expression is zero then a weaker kind of interlacing holds. These interlacing properties of the zeros are new for orthogonal polynomials also. For instance, for large n a simple criteria for interlacing of zeros of Jacobi polynomials on [-1+,1-], >0, is obtained. Finally it is shown that the results hold for wide classes of weighted L_q-minimal polynomials, q[1,∞], linear combinations and products of orthogonal polynomials, etc.     

The equation on weakly pseudo-convex CR manifolds of dimension 3

Let M be a smooth, compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension 3, embedded in (N2), of codimension one or more, and endowed with the induced CR structure. Assuming that the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator has closed range in L²(M) in order to rule out the Rossi example, we push regularity up to show has closed range in H^s(M) for all s>0. We then use the Szegö projection to show there is a smooth solution for the problem given smooth data. The results are obtained via microlocalization by piecing together estimates for functions and (0,1) forms that hold on different microlocal regions.     

Kernel estimates and -spectral independence of generators of -semigroups

After the appearance of W. Arendt's result that “Gaussian estimate of a semigroup implies the L^p-spectral independence of the generator,” various generalizations have been obtained. This paper shows that a certain kernel estimate of a semigroup implies the L^p-spectral independence of the generator, generalizing the case of upper Gaussian estimate and “Gaussian estimate of order α(0,1] [S. Miyajima, H. Shindoh, Gaussian estimates of order α and L^p-spectral independence of generators of C₀-semigroups, Positivity 11 (1) (2007) 15–39], Definition 3.1.” The proof uses S. Karrmann's result about the L^p-spectral independence and B.A. Barnes' theorem about the spectrum of integral operators. As an application, the L^p-spectral independence of −[(−Δ)^α+V] (α(0,1]) for a suitable V is proved with the help of a recent result by V. Liskevich, H. Vogt and J. Voigt [V. Liskevich, H. Vogt, J. Voigt, Gaussian bounds for propagators perturbed by potentials, J. Funct. Anal. 238 (2006) 245–277].     

Widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the ball

We study the Kolmogorov n-widths and the linear n-widths of weighted Sobolev classes on the unit ball B^d in L_q,μ, where L_q,μ, 1≤q≤∞, denotes the weighted L_q space of functions on B^d with respect to weight . Optimal asymptotic orders of and as n→∞ are obtained for all 1≤p,q≤∞ and μ≥0.     

Strong convergence theorems by hybrid method for asymptotically -strict pseudo-contractive mapping in Hilbert space

In this paper, we introduce the hybrid method of modified Mann’s iteration for an asymptotically k-strict pseudo-contractive mapping. Then we prove that such a sequence converges strongly to P_F(T)x₀. This main theorem improves the result of Issara Inchan [I. Inchan, Strong convergence theorems of modified Mann iteration methods for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces, Int. J. Math. Anal. 2 (23) (2008) 1135–1145] and concerns the result of Takahashi et al. [W. Takahashi, Y. Takeuchi, R. Kubota, Strong convergence theorems by hybrid methods for families of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert space, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 341 (2008) 276–286], and many others.     

Nonlinear structure of some classical quasi-Banach spaces and -spaces

We investigate the Lipschitz structure of ℓ_p and L_p for 0<p<1 as quasi-Banach spaces and as metric spaces (with the metric induced by the p-norm) and show that they are not Lipschitz isomorphic. We prove that the -space L₀ is not uniformly homeomorphic to any other L_p space, that the L_p spaces for 0<p<1 embed isometrically into one another, and reduce the problem of the uniform equivalence amongst L_p spaces to their Lipschitz equivalence as metric spaces.     

Positive solutions for Robin problem involving the -Laplacian

Consider Robin problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian on a smooth bounded domain Ω as follows

Applying the sub-supersolution method and the variational method, under appropriate assumptions on f, we prove that there exists λ_*>0 such that the problem has at least two positive solutions if λ(0,λ_*), has at least one positive solution if λ=λ_*<+∞ and has no positive solution if λ>λ_*. To prove the results, we prove a norm on W^1,p(x)(Ω) without the part of ||_L^p(x)(Ω) which is equivalent to usual one and establish a special strong comparison principle for Robin problem.     

Rates of -statistical convergence of positive linear operators

On reducibility of n-ary quasigroups

An n-ary operation Q:Σⁿ→Σ is called an n-ary quasigroup of order |Σ| if in the relation x₀=Q(x₁,…,x_n) knowledge of any n elements of x₀,…,x_n uniquely specifies the remaining one. Q is permutably reducible if Q(x₁,…,x_n)=P(R(x_σ(1),…,x_σ(k)),x_σ(k+1),…,x_σ(n)) where P and R are (n-k+1)-ary and k-ary quasigroups, σ is a permutation, and 1<k<n. An m-ary quasigroup S is called a retract of Q if it can be obtained from Q or one of its inverses by fixing n-m>0 arguments. We prove that if the maximum arity of a permutably irreducible retract of an n-ary quasigroup Q belongs to {3,…,n-3}, then Q is permutably reducible.
