Finite extinction time for some perturbed Hamilton-Jacobi equations

In this paper we study initial value problems likeu _t–R¦u¦^m+u^q=0 in ⁿ× ₊, u(·,0⁺)=u_o(·) in ^N, whereR > 0, 0 <q < 1,m 1, andu _o is a positive uniformly continuous function verifying –R¦u _o¦^m+u ₀ ^q 0 in ^N . We show the existence of the minimum nonnegative continuous viscosity solutionu, as well as the existence of the function t(·) defined byu(x, t) > 0 if 0<t<t (x) andu(x, t)=0 ift t (x). Regularity, extinction rate, and asymptotic behavior of t(x) are also studied. Moreover, form=1 we obtain the representation formulau(x, t)=max{([(u _o(x – t))^1–q –(1–q)t]₊)^1/(1–q): ¦¦R}, (x, t) ₊ ^N+1 .Partially supported by the DGICYT No. 86/0405 project.

Iterative refinement implies numerical stability

Suppose that a method computes an approximation of the exact solution of a linear systemAx=b with the relative errorq,q<1. We prove that if all computations are performed in floating point arithmeticfl and single precision, then with iterative refinement is numerically stable and well-behaved wheneverqA A ^–1 is at most of order unity.     

Knaster's problem on continuous maps of a sphere into Euclidean space

A survey of known results and additional new ones on Knaster's problem: on the standard sphere S^n–1Rⁿ find configurations of points A₁, , A_k, such that for any continuous map fS^n–1R^m one can find a rotation a of the sphere S^n–1 such that f(a(A₁)==f(a(A_k)) and some problems closely connected with it. We study the connection of Knaster's problem with equivariant mappings, with Dvoretsky's theorem on the existence of an almost spherical section of a multidimensional convex body, and we also study the set {a S0(n)f(a(A₁))==f(a(A_k))} of solutions of Knaster's problem for a fixed configuration of points A₁, , A_kS^n–1 and a map fS^n–1R^m in general position. Unsolved problems are posed.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 167, pp. 169–178, 1987.

A unitary transformation that diagonalizes the family of projectors {G} is constructed: it takes to the operator of multiplication by the independent variable.

Weighted Composition Operators on Bergman and Dirichlet Spaces

Let H() denote a functional Hilbert space of analytic functions on a domain . Let w : C and : be such that w f is in H() for every f in H(). The operator wC given by f w f is called a weighted composition operator on H(). In this paper we characterize such operators and those for which (wC )* is a composition operator. Compact weighted composition operators on some functional Hilbert spaces are also characterized. We give sufficient conditions for the compactness of such operators on weighted Dirichlet spaces.     

Absolut stetige Maße auf lokalkompakten Halbgruppen

LetS be a locally compact semigroup. It is shown that if a measure is absolutely continuous and ifS is cancellative, then the measure concentrated on a Borel subsetB ofS (i. e. =(B.)) is also absolutely continuous. Other properties of absolutely continuous measures will be obtained. Moreover we will answer the question when absolutely continuous probability measures exist. This is the case ifS admits an invariant integral on the space of all continuous functions onS with compact support. Another result is the following: If the compact semigroupS has a connected kernel then there exist absolutely continuous probability measures if and only ifS is amenable.     

Optimal boundary regularity for minimal surfaces with a free boundary

Let x(w), w=u+iv B, be a minimal surface in ³ which is bounded by a configuration , S consisting of an arc and of a surface S with boundary. Suppose also that x(w) is area minimizing with respect to , S. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on and S, we can prove that the first derivatives of x(u, v) are Hölder continuous with the exponent =1/2 up to the free part of B which is mapped by x(w) into S. An example shows that this regularity result is optimal.

A chord-stretching map of a convex loop is an isometry

Let ⁿ be n-dimensional Euclidean space, and let : [0, L] ⁿ and : [0, L] ⁿ be closed rectifiable arcs in ⁿ of the same total length L which are parametrized via their arc length. is said to be a chord-stretched version of if for each 0s tL, |(t)–(s)| |(t)–(s)|. is said to be convex if is simple and if ([0, L]) is the frontier of some plane convex set. Individual work by Professors G. Choquet and G. T. Sallee demonstrated that if were simple then there existed a convex chord-stretched version of . This result led Professor Yang Lu to conjecture that if were convex and were a chord-stretched version of then and would be congruent, i.e. any chord-stretching map of a convex arc is an isometry. Professor Yang Lu has proved this conjecture in the case where and are C ² curves. In this paper we prove the conjecture in general.

Asymptotics of the partial sums of a set of integral transforms

Maximal monotonicity of operators with sufficiently large domain and application to the Hartree problem

Suppose that L is a linear, closed operator and A is a hemi-continuous, (cyclically) monotone operator with D(A) D(L). Both operators are defined in a Hilbert space. Then, it can be shown that A+L*L is maximal (cyclically) monotone, though A is not necessarily maximal. However, if A has the property (Au-Av, u-v)ge²L(u-v)² then even A is maximal. Using this abstract result and the theory of sesquilinear forms, it requires only some technical calculation to show that the generalized Hartree operator is maximal (cyclical) monotone in the space L² (³).

The arithmetic of the characteristic Pólya functions

In the framework of the theory of D. Kendall's delphic semigroups are considered problems of divisibility in the semigroup of convex characteristic functions on the semiaxis (0,). Letn ()={:₁¦₁1 or ₁=}, and I_o()={: ₁¦ ₁ N()}. The following results are proved: 1) The semigroup is almost delphic in the sense of R. Davidson. 2) N() is a set of the type G which is dense in (in the topology of uniform convergence on compacta). 3) The class I_o() contains only the function identically equal to one.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 717–725, May, 1977.The author thanks I.

Approximation by infinitely divisible distributions in the multidimensional case

Let be the collection of parallelepipeds in R with edges parallel with the coordinate axes and let be the collection of closed sets in R. Let (G, H)=inf {G{A}H{A}+, H{A}G{A}+ for any; L(G, H)= inf {G{A}H{A}+, H{A}G{A}+ for any, where G, H are distributions in . In the paper one gives the proofs of results announced earlier by the author (Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR,253, No. 2, 277–279 (1980)). One considers the problem of the approximation of the distributions of sums of independent random vectors with the aid of infinitely divisible distributions. One obtains estimates for the distances (·, ·), L(·, ·) and. It is proved that, where 0p_i1, ; E is the distribution concentrated at zero; V_i(i=1, ..., n) are arbitrary distributions; the products and the exponentials are understood in the sense of convolution.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
