Non-monotonic solutions and continuously differentiable solutions of conjugacy equations

In this paper solutions of conjugacy equation φ(f(x))=g(φ(x)) for a strictly decreasing continuous given function f and a continuous given function g (maybe non-monotonic) are constructed by piecewise defining. We determine the conditions for piecewise continuously differentiable solutions of conjugacy equations with a strictly decreasing continuously differentiable given function f and a continuously differentiable given function g. Finally, the recursive algorithm is implemented in MATLAB software and two examples are respectively presented for a non-monotonic solution and a continuously differentiable one.     

On some continuity and differentiability properties of paths of Gaussian processes

The following path properties of real separable Gaussian processes ξ with parameter set an arbitrary interval are established. At every fixed point the paths of ξ are continuous, or differentiable, with probability zero or one. If ξ is measurable, then with probability one its paths have essentially the same points of continuity and differentiability. If ξ is measurable and not mean square continuous or differentiable at every point, then with probability one its paths are almost nowhere continuous or differentiable, respectively. If ξ harmonizable or if it is mean square continuous with stationary increments, then its paths are absolutely continuous with probability one if and only if ξ is mean square differentiable; also mean square differentiability of ξ implies path differentiability with probability one at every fixed point. If ξ is mean square differentiable and stationary, then on every interval with probability one its paths are either differentiable everywhere or nondifferentiable on countable dense subsets. Also a class of harmonizable processes is determined for which of the following are true: (i) with probability one paths are either continuous or unbounded on every interval, and (ii) mean square differentiability implies that with probability one on every interval paths are either differentiable everywhere or nondifferentiable on countable dense subsets.     

Renormages de Quelquesℒ(K)

LetD([0, 1]) be the space of left continuous real valued functions on [0, 1] which have a right limit at each point. We show thatD([0, 1]) has no equivalent norm which is Gateau differentiable. Hence the class of spaces which can be renormed by a Gateau differentiable norm fails the three spaces property. We show that there is no norm onℒ([0, Ω]) such that its dual is strictly convex. However, there is an equivalent Fréchet differentiable norm on this space.      

On second-order Fritz John type optimality conditions in nonsmooth multiobjective programming

We study a multiobjective optimization program with a feasible set defined by equality constraints and a generalized inequality constraint. We suppose that the functions involved are Fréchet differentiable and their Fréchet derivatives are continuous or stable at the point considered. We provide necessary second order optimality conditions and also sufficient conditions via a Fritz John type Lagrange multiplier rule and a set-valued second order directional derivative, in such a way that our sufficient conditions are close to the necessary conditions. Some consequences are obtained for parabolic directionally differentiable functions and C ^1,1 functions, in this last case, expressed by means of the second order Clarke subdifferential. Some illustrative examples are also given.     

On the resolution of monotone complementarity problems

A reformulation of the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) as an unconstrained minimization problem is considered. It is shown that any stationary point of the unconstrained objective function is a solution of NCP if the mapping F involved in NCP is continuously differentiable and monotone, and that the level sets are bounded if F is continuous and strongly monotone. A descent algorithm is described which uses only function values of F. Some numerical results are given.     

On the relationship between differentiability and absolute continuity of measures on ℝn

Summary We give an elementary proof of the fact that a finite Borel measure on ⁿ is absolutely continuous with a C ¹ density if and only if it has directional derivatives which are continuous almost everywhere. The Radon-Nikodym derivative of a differentiable measure is given in terms of the directional derivatives.     

Die richtigen Räume für Analysis im Unendlich-Dimensionalen

The aim of this paper is to characterize those locally convex spaces, which have the following properties. 1. Any curve, which is differentiable if composed with continuous linear forms, is differentiable for its own. 2. Any differentiable curve is Riemann integrable. 3. The topology is determined by the differentiable curves. 4. Linear mappings are continuous iff they are differentiable. This category of thec -complete bornological spaces is symetrically monoidal closed and includes the LF-spaces.

Gleichverteilte Doppelfolgen und eine Abschätzung der C-Diskrepanz

In this paper a criterion forC-uniformly distributed differentiable functions is given by using uniformly distributed double sequences. This criterion allows to find lower bounds of theC-discrepancy of differentiable functions.     

Some calculations on the conditional densities of well-admissible measures on linear spaces

When a probability measurem on a topological vector spaceE is well-admissible in a directionk E, the conditional law in the directionk given the other directions is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We shall prove that its density function is differentiable (in the sense precised below) and we shall calculate their derivatives. We given then two applications of such calculations.     

On Pointwise Convergence of q-Bernstein Operators and Their q-Derivatives

Pointwise convergence of q-Bernstein polynomials and their q-derivatives in the case of 0 < q < 1 is discussed. We study quantitative Voronovskaya type results for q-Bernstein polynomials and their q-derivatives. These theorems are given in terms of the modulus of continuity of q-derivative of f which is the main interest of this article. It is also shown that our results hold for continuous functions although those are given for two and three times continuously differentiable functions in classical case.     

Analysis and optimization of Lipschitz continuous mappings

In this paper, four fundamental theorems for continuously differentiable mappings (the multiplier rule for equality constraints of Carathéodory, the inverse mapping theorem, the implicit mapping theorem, and the general multiplier rule for inequality and equality constraints of Mangasarian and Fromovitz) are shown to have natural extensions valid when the mappings are only Lipschitz continuous. Involved in these extensions is a compact, convex set of linear mappings called the generalized derivative, which can be assigned to any Lipschitz continuous mapping and point of its (open) domain and which reduces to the usual derivative whenever the mapping is continuously differentiable. After a brief calculus for this generalized derivative is presented in Part I, the connection between the ranks of the linear mappings in the generalized derivative and theinteriority of the given mapping is explored in Parts II and IV; this relationship is used in Parts III and IV to prove the extensions of the theorems mentioned above.This paper is lovingly dedicated to the author's wife, Nancy Arneson Pourciau.Each section of this paper has benefited from the consistently accurate advice and unflagging enthusiasm of the author's teacher, Professor Hubert Halkin.     

Convergence for Fourier series solutions of the forced harmonic oscillator

Harmonic oscillator equations of the form ÿ + ?²y = h(t) where ? is a real constant and h(t) is a continuous, piecewise smooth, periodic ‘forcing’ function are considered. The exact solution, obtained through the Laplace transform is cumbersome to handle over long t intervals, and thus solving ‘term-by-term’ by replacing h(t) by its Fourier series is an attractive and accurate alternative. But this solution is an infinite series involving sums of sine and cosine terms, and thus one should worry about convergence of a solution in this form. In the article, it is shown that such a series solution indeed converges uniformly over the entire real line and is twice continuously differentiable, the derivatives being calculated ‘term-by-term’. Only results commonly available in the undergraduate literature are used to verify this and in so doing, a non-trivial application of these results is given. Also included are some interesting problems suitable for undergraduate research.

Smooth Banach spaces,weak asplund spaces and monotone or usco mappings

It is shown that if a real Banach spaceE admits an equivalent Gateaux differentiable norm, then for every continuous convex functionf onE there exists a denseG _δ subset ofE at every point of whichf is Gateaux differentiable. More generally, for any maximal monotone operatorT on such a space, there exists a denseG _δ subset (in the interior of its essential domain) at every point of whichT is single-valued. The same techniques yield results about stronger forms of differentiability and about generically continuous selections for certain upper-semicontinuous compact-set-valued maps.

Non-Differentiable Skew Convolution Semigroups and Related Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Processes

It is proved that a general non-differentiable skew convolution semigroup associated with a strongly continuous semigroup of linear operators on a real separable Hilbert space can be extended to a differentiable one on the entrance space of the linear semigroup. A càdlàg strong Markov process on an enlargement of the entrance space is constructed from which we obtain a realization of the corresponding Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. Some explicit characterizations of the entrance spaces for special linear semigroups are given.     

A Measure Of Asymmetry For Positive Semidefinite Matrices

It is known that a continuous map is the gradient of a convex function if and only if it is cyclically monotone. Also, a differentiable map F is the gradient of a function if and only if the matrices F ′(x) are symmetric for all x in the domain. Based on this connection between symmetry and monotonicity, we define a measure of asymmetry for positive semidefinite matrices.     

On the best approximation in the mean of continuous functions by polynomials,which are majorized by a given function

We discuss the problem of the best approximation in the mean of functions, which are continuous on a segment, by the polynomials in a differentiable Chebyshev system that do not exceed a given differentiable function. We prove that the extremal polynomial is unique and develop its characteristic properties.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 11, No. 4, pp. 365–374, April, 1972.The author thanks A. L.

On the stability of differentiability of semigroups

LetA be the infinitesimal generator of aC ₀-semigroup. The semigroup generated byA is called differentiable ifA exp (At) is bounded for everyt>0. In this note, an example is given of an operatorA and a bounded operatorB such that the semigroup generated byA is differentiable but the semigroup generated byA+B is not. This gives a negative answer to a question of Pazy.     

The theory of manifolds from the non-deterministic point of view

Summary Using the methods of non-deterministic analysis it is possible to define in a differentiable manifold a special structure called Gauss structure which allows one to study differentiable maps from one manifold into another without the use of local charts. The main theorem in this paper shows how it is possible to locally recover the jacobian of such maps by using the Gauss structures defined in the manifolds in question.     

A new method for smoothing surfaces and computing hermite interpolants

Let Ω be a rectangular bounded domain of a plane equipped with a rectangular partition Δ. Assume a piecewise bivariate function that is differentiable up to order (k,l) except at the knots of Δ, where it is less differentiable. In this paper, we introduce a new method for smoothing the above function at the knots. More precisely, we describe algorithms allowing one to transform it into another function that will be differentiable up to order (k,l) in the whole domain Ω. Then, as an application of this method, we give a recursive computation of tensor product Hermite spline interpolants. To illustrate our results, some numerical examples are presented.
