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.     

Tritronquée Solutions of Perturbed First Painlevé Equations

We consider solutions of the class of ODEs y=6y ²–x , which contains the first Painlevé equation (PI) for =1. It is well known that PI has a unique real solution (called a tritronquée solution) asymptotic to and decaying monotonically on the positive real line. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a corresponding solution for each real nonnegative 1.     

Approximating derivations on ideals ofC *-algebras

Über eine Verallgemeinerung der Nicoletti-Aufgabe für Funktional-Differentialgleichungen mit voreilendem Argument

We consider a functional differential equation (1) (t)=F(t,) fort[0,+) together with a generalized Nicoletti condition (2)H()=. The functionF: [0,+)×C ⁰[0,+)B is given (whereB denotes the Banach space) and the value ofF (t, ) may depend on the values of (t) fort[0,+);H: C ⁰[0,+)B is a given linear operator and B. Under suitable assumptions we show that when the solution :[0,+)B satisfies a certain growth condition, then there exists exactly one solution of the problem (1), (2).

The tree number of a graph with a given girth

A family of subtrees of a graphG whose edge sets form a partition of the edge set ofG is called atree decomposition ofG. The minimum number of trees in a tree decomposition ofG is called thetree number ofG and is denoted by(G). It is known that ifG is connected then(G) |G|/2. In this paper we show that ifG is connected and has girthg 5 then(G) |G|/g + 1. Surprisingly, the case wheng = 4 seems to be more difficult. We conjecture that in this case(G) |G|/4 + 1 and show a wide class of graphs that satisfy it. Also, some special graphs like complete bipartite graphs andn-dimensional cubes, for which we determine their tree numbers, satisfy it. In the general case we prove the weaker inequality(G) (|G| – 1)/3 + 1.     

Mittelwert der Eulerschen φ-Funktion und des Quadrates der Dirichletschen Teilerfunktion in algebraischen Zahlkörpern

LetK be an algebraic number field, and for every integer K let () andd(), respectively, denote the number of relatively prime residue classes and the number of divisors of the principal ideal (). Asymptotic equalities are proved for the sums () and d ²(), where runs through certain finite sets of integers ofK.

Characterization,structure and analysis on abelian ℒ∞ groups

An abelian topological group is an group if and only if it is a locally -compactk-space and every compact subset in it is contained in a compactly generated locally compact subgroup. Every abelian groupG is topologically isomorphic to G ₀ where ₀ andG ₀ is an abelian group where every compact subset is contained in a compact subgroup. Intrinsic definitions of measures, convolution of measures, measure algebra,L ₁-algebra, Fourier transforms of abelian groups are given and their properties are studied.

Asymptotic Density and the Asymptotics of Partition Functions

Let A be a set of positive integers with gcd (A) = 1, and let p _A (n) be the partition function of A. Let c ₀ = 2/3. If A has lower asymptotic density and upper asymptotic density , then lim inf log p _A (n)/c ₀ n and lim sup log p _A (n)/c ₀ n . In particular, if A has asymptotic density > 0, then log p _A (n) c₀n. Conversely, if > 0 and log p _A (n) c ₀ n, then the set A has asymptotic density .

Large transversals to small families of unit disks

Summary It is proved that if the nonempty intersection of bounded closed convex sets AnB is contained in (A + F)U(B+F) and one of the following holds true: (i) the space X is less-than-three dimensional, (ii) AUB is convex, (iii) F is a one-point set, then AnBCA+F or AnBCB+F (Theorems 2 and 3). Moreover, under some hypotheses the characterization of A and B such that AnB is a summand of AUB is given (Theorem 3).

Embeddings of Banach Spaces Into Banach Lattices and the Gordon–Lewis Property

In this paper we first show that if X is a Banach space and is a left invariant crossnorm on lX, then there is a Banach lattice L and an isometric embedding J of X into L, so that I J becomes an isometry of lX onto l_m J(X). Here I denotes the identity operator on l and l_m J(X) the canonical lattice tensor product. This result is originally due to G. Pisier (unpublished), but our proof is different. We then use this to prove the main results which characterize the Gordon–Lewis property GL and related structures in terms of embeddings into Banach lattices.     

Best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel of a biharmonic equation and optimal renewal of the values of operators

For the classB _p , 0 < 1, 1p , of 2-periodic functions of the form f(t)=u(,t), whereu (,t) is a biharmonic function in the unit disk, we obtain the exact values of the best approximation and best unilateral approximation of the kernel K(t) of the convolution f= K *g, gl, with respect to the metric of L₁. We also consider the problem of renewal of the values of the convolution operator by using the information about the values of the boundary functions.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol.47, No. 11, pp. 1549–1557, November, 1995.     

Measure properties of the set of initial data yielding non uniqueness for a class of differential inclusions

We study uniqueness property for the Cauchy problemxV(x), x(0)=, whereVR ⁿR is a locally Lipschitz continuous, quasiconvex function (i.e. the sublevel sets {Vc} are convex) and V(x) is the generalized gradient ofV atx. We prove that if 0V(x) forV(x)b, then the set of initial data {V=b} yielding non uniqueness of solution in a geometric sense has (n–1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure zero in {V=b}.
