On the sum Σ k≡r(modm) ( k n ) and related congruencesand related congruences

In this paper we study [ _r ⁿ ] _m =Σ _k≡r(modm) ( _k ⁿ ) wherem>0,n≥0 andr are integers. We show that [ _r ⁿ ] _m (m>2) can be expressed in terms of some linearly recurrent sequences with orders not exceeding ϕ(m)/2. In particular, we determine [ _r ⁿ ] ₁₂ explicitly in terms of first order and second order recurrences. It follows that for any primep>3 we have and .

Integration of a zonal function related to the local harmonic analysis on spheres

In studying local harmonic analysis on the sphere Sⁿ, R.S. Strichartz introduced certain zonal functions ϕ₂(d(x, y)) which satisfy the equation , where Δ_z is the Laplace operator and δ_−y the Dirac measure. The explicit expression of the constant a (λ) is given by R.S. Strichartz in the case that n is odd.

Let a_n≥0 and F(u)∈C [0,1], Sikkema constructed polynomials: , ifα _n ≡0, then B_n (0, F, x) are Bernstein polynomials. Let , we constructe new polynomials in this paper: Q _n ^(k) (α _n ,f(t))=d ^k /dx ^k B _n+k (α _n ,F _k (u),x), which are called Sikkema-Kantorovic polynomials of order k. Ifα _n ≡0, k=1, then Q_n ⁽¹⁾ (0, f(t), x) are Kantorovič polynomials P_n(f). Ifα _n =0, k=2, then Q_n ⁽²⁾, (0, f(t), x) are Kantorovič polynomials of second order (see Nagel). The main result is: Theorem 2. Let 1≤p≤∞, in order that for every f∈L^P [0, 1], , it is sufficient and necessary that , § 1.

The Threshold for the Erdos, Jacobson and Lehel Conjecture to Be True

Let σ（k, n） be the smallest even integer such that each n-term positive graphic sequence with term sum at least σ（k, n） can be realized by a graph containing a clique of k ＋ 1 vertices. Erdos et al. （Graph Theory, 1991, 439-449） conjectured that σ（k, n） = （k - 1）（2n- k） ＋ 2. Li et al. （Science in China, 1998, 510-520） proved that the conjecture is true for k 〉 5 and n ≥ （k2） ＋ 3, and raised the problem of determining the smallest integer N（k） such that the conjecture holds for n ≥ N（k）. They also determined the values of N（k） for 2 ≤ k ≤ 7, and proved that [5k-1/2] ≤ N（k） ≤ （k2） ＋ 3 for k ≥ 8. In this paper, we determine the exact values of σ（k, n） for n ≥ 2k＋3 and k ≥ 6. Therefore, the problem of determining σ（k, n） is completely solved. In addition, we prove as a corollary that N（k） -= [5k-1/2] for k ≥6.     

Asymptotic properties for median cross-validated nearest neighbor median estimate in nonparametric regression

Consider the nonparametric regression model , whereg is an unknown function to be estimated on [0, 1], are the fixed design points in the interval [0, 1] and is a triangular array of row iid random variables having median zero. The nearest neighbor median estimator is taken as the estimator of the unknown functiong(x). Median cross validation (mev) criterion is employed to select the smoothing parameterh. Leth _π ^* be the smoothing parameter chosen by mev criterion. Under mild regularity conditions, the upper and lower bounds ofh _π ^* , the rate of convergence and the weak consistency of the median cross-validated estimate are obtained.

A concentration of mass property for isotropic convex bodies in high dimensions

It is shown that, for a certain subclass of istropic convex sets in ℝⁿ, the mass concentrates in a spherical shell, asymptotically for largen. This in turn shows that the inequality is close to an equality for the mentioned class of isotropic convex sets, asymptotically for largen. It also implies a ‘central limit property’ for this class.
