Asymptotic estimations of the Christoffel type functions for Lm extremal polynomials with an even integer m associated with generalized Jacobi weights are established.

Graded central polynomials for the algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>)

Let M _n (K) be the algebra of all n × n matrices over an infinite field K. This algebra has a natural ℤ _n -grading and a natural ℤ-grading. Finite bases for its ℤ _n -graded identities and for its ℤ-graded identities are known. In this paper we describe finite generating sets for the ℤ _n -graded and for the ℤ-graded central polynomials for M _n (K) Partially supported by CNPq 620025/2006-9     

On the Theory of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>)-Banach Lattices

Given 1≤ p,q < ∞, let BL_pL_q be the class of all Banach lattices X such that X is isometrically lattice isomorphic to a band in some L_p(L_q)-Banach lattice. We show that the range of a positive contractive projection on any BL_pL_q-Banach lattice is itself in BL_pL_q. It is a consequence of this theorem and previous results that BL_pL_q is first-order axiomatizable in the language of Banach lattices. By studying the pavings of arbitrary BL_pL_q-Banach lattices by finite dimensional sublattices that are themselves in this class, we give an explicit set of axioms for BL_pL_q. We also consider the class of all sublattices of L_p(L_q)-Banach lattices; for this class (when p/q is not an integer) we give a set of axioms that are similar to Krivine’s well-known axioms for the subspaces of L_p-Banach spaces (when p/2 is not an integer). We also extend this result to the limiting case q = ∞.     

On the Relation between Piecewise Polynomial and Rational Approximation in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Bold">R</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>)

In the univariate case there are certain equivalences between the nonlinear approximation methods that use piecewise polynomials and those that use rational functions. It is known that for certain parameters the respective approximation spaces are identical and may be described as Besov spaces. The characterization of the approximation spaces of the multivariate nonlinear approximation by piecewise polynomials and by rational functions is not known. In this work we compare between the two methods in the bivariate case. We show some relations between the approximation spaces of piecewise polynomials defined on n triangles and those of bivariate rational functions of total degree n which are described by n parameters. Thus we compare two classes of approximants with the same number Cn of parameters. We consider this the proper comparison between the two methods.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-fuzzy roughness of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-ary polygroups

In this paper, we consider the relations among L-fuzzy sets, rough sets and n-ary polygroup theory. Some properties of (normal) TL-fuzzy n-ary subpolygroups of an n-ary polygroup are first obtained. Using the concept of L-fuzzy sets, the notion of ϑ-lower and T-upper L-fuzzy rough approximation operators with respect to an L-fuzzy set is introduced and some related properties are presented. Then a new algebraic structure called (normal) TL-fuzzy rough n-ary polygroup is defined and investigated. Also, the (strong) homomorphism of ϑ-lower and T-upper L-fuzzy rough approximation operators is studied.     

Rationality of the vertex operator algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis></Subscript>+ for a positive definite even lattice <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>

The lattice vertex operator algebra V_L associated to a positive definite even lattice L has an automorphism of order 2 lifted from –1-isometry of L. The fixed point set V_L+ of V_L for the automorphism is naturally a vertex operator algebra. We prove that any ₀-graded weak V_L⁺-module is completely reducible.Supported by JSPS Research Fellowships for Young Scientists.     

Rate of convergence to stationarity of the system <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>+<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>

We consider the M/M/N/N+R service system, characterized by N servers, R waiting positions, Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. We discuss representations and bounds for the rate of convergence to stationarity of the number of customers in the system, and study its behaviour as a function of R, N and the arrival rate λ, allowing λ to be a function of N.     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-Poisson Semigroup Associated with Elliptic Systems

We study the infinitesimal generator of the Poisson semigroup in L ^p associated with homogeneous, second-order, strongly elliptic systems with constant complex coefficients in the upper-half space, which is proved to be the Dirichlet-to-Normal mapping in this setting. Also, its domain is identified as the linear subspace of the L ^p -based Sobolev space of order one on the boundary of the upper-half space consisting of functions for which the Regularity problem is solvable. Moreover, for a class of systems containing the Lamé system, as well as all second-order, scalar elliptic operators, with constant complex coefficients, the action of the infinitesimal generator is explicitly described in terms of singular integral operators whose kernels involve first-order derivatives of the canonical fundamental solution of the given system. Furthermore, arbitrary powers of the infinitesimal generator of the said Poisson semigroup are also described in terms of higher order Sobolev spaces and a higher order Regularity problem for the system in question. Finally, we indicate how our techniques may be adapted to treat the case of higher order systems in graph Lipschitz domains.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>-bounded Representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)

We investigate R-bounded representations , where X is a Banach space and G is a lca group. Observing that Ψ induces a (strongly continuous) group homomorphism , we are then able to analyze certain classical homomorphisms U (e.g. translations in L^p (G)) from the viewpoint of R-boundedness and the theory of scalar-type spectral operators.

On Shalika models and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

We use modular symbols to construct p-adic L-functions for cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations on GL(2n), which admit a Shalika model. Our construction differs from former ones in that it systematically makes use of the representation theory of p-adic groups.     

Diffeomorphisms with <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-shadowing property

We give a characterization of structurally stable diffeomorphisms by making use of the notion of L ^p -shadowing property. More precisely, we prove that the set of structurally stable diffeomorphisms coincides with the C ¹-interior of the set of diffeomorphisms having L ^p -shadowing property.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis></Superscript> convergence for <Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>-valued random elements

The paper investigates L ^p convergence and Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong laws of large numbers for random elements in a Banach space under the condition that the Banach space is of Rademacher type p, 1 < p < 2. The paper also discusses L ^r convergence and L ^r bound for random elements without any geometric restriction condition on the Banach space.     

LP（Rn）-Boundedness of certain commutators

In this paper, the Lp(Rn)-boundedness of the commutators generalized by BMO(Rn) function and the singular integral operator T with rough kernel Ω∈ Llog+ L(Sn-1) is proved by using the Bony's formula for the paraproduct of two functions.     

A note on the complexity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> minimization

We discuss the L _p (0 ≤ p < 1) minimization problem arising from sparse solution construction and compressed sensing. For any fixed 0 < p < 1, we prove that finding the global minimal value of the problem is strongly NP-Hard, but computing a local minimizer of the problem can be done in polynomial time. We also develop an interior-point potential reduction algorithm with a provable complexity bound and demonstrate preliminary computational results of effectiveness of the algorithm.     

Upper triangular operators and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

For a newform f for Γ₀(N) of even weight k supersingular at a prime p ≥ 5, by using infinite dimensional p-adic analysis, we prove that the p-adic L-function L _p (f,α; χ) has finite order of vanishing at any character of the form [(c)\tilde] _s ( x ) = x^s\tilde \chi _s \left( x \right) = x^s. In particular, under the natural embedding of ℤ _p in the group of ℂ* _p -valued continuous characters of ℤ* _p , the order of vanishing at any point is finite.     

Point sets with low <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-discrepancy

In this paper we study the L _p -discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets. While it is known that the (unshifted) Hammersley point set (which is also known as Roth net) with N points has L _p -discrepancy (p an integer) of order (log N)/N, we show that there always exists a shift such that the digitally shifted Hammersley point set has L _p -discrepancy (p an even integer) of order which is best possible by a result of W. Schmidt. Further we concentrate on the case p = 2. We give very tight lower and upper bounds for the L ₂-discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets which show that the value of the L ₂-discrepancy of such a point set mostly depends on the number of zero coordinates of the shift and not so much on the position of these.

We establish a Morris type recurrence formula for the root system C_n. Next we introduce cyclage graphs for the corresponding Kashiwara-Nakashimas tableaux and use them to define a charge statistic. Finally we conjecture that this charge may be used to compute the Kostka-Foulkes polynomials for type C_n.
