Let X be a completely regular space. The customary -field is the coarsest -field on the space of Bairemeasures on X which makes (A) measurable for any Baire set A. We compare the customary -field with the Baire and Borel -field induced by the weak* topology which lies on the dual space C(X). In (2.3) it is shown that the customary -field is just the Baire -field. In part 3 necessary and sufficient conditions are given under which the set of -smooth measures is measurable with respect to the Borel -field which lies on the positive cone of the space of finitely additive, regular measures C(X). Finally, a decomposition theorem for generalized kernels is proved. The -smooth part of a generalized kernel is a kernel again if certain conditions are fulfilled.     

Noncommutative Valuation Rings of the Quotient Artinian Ring of a Skew Polynomial Ring

Let R be a Dubrovin valuation ring of a simple Artinian ring Q and let Q[X,] be the skew polynomial ring over Q in an indeterminate X, where is an automorphism of Q. Consider the natural map from Q[X,]_XQ[X,] to Q, where Q[X,]_XQ[X,] is the localization of Q[X,] at the maximal ideal XQ[X,] and set , the complete inverse image of R by . It is shown that is a Dubrovin valuation ring of Q(X,) (the quotient ring of Q[X,]) and it is characterized in terms of X and Q. In the case where R is an invariant valuation ring, the given automorphism is classified into five types, in order to study the structure of (the value group of ). It is shown that there is a commutative valuation ring R with automorphism which belongs to each type and which makes Abelian or non-Abelian. Furthermore, some examples are used to show that several ideal-theoretic properties of a Dubrovin valuation ring of Q with finite dimension over its center, do not necessarily hold in the case where Q is infinite-dimensional.

Subgroups of the full linear group over a semilocal ring

Let be a semilocal ring (a factor ring with respect to the Jacobson-Artin radical) for which the residue field C/m of its center C with respect to each maximal idealmC contains no fewer than seven elements. The structure of subgroups H in the full linear group GL(n, ) containing the group of diagonal matrices is considered. The main theorem: for any subgroup H there is a uniquely determined D-net of ideals such that G()HN(), whereN() is the normalizer of the D-net subgroup . A transparent classification of subgroups GL(n, ) normalizable by diagonal matrices is thus obtained. Further, the factor groupN()/G() is studied.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Subgroups of the general symplectic group containing the group of diagonal matrices

There are described the subgroups of the general symplectic group =GSp(2n, R) over a commutative semilocal ring R, containing the group of symplectic diagonal matrices. For each such subgroup P there is uniquely defined a symplectic D-net a such that ()pN(), where () is the net subgroup in corresponding to (cf. RZhMat, 1977, 5A288), and N() is its normalizer. The quotient group N × ()/() is calculated. There are also considered subgroups in Sp(2n, R).

Subgroups of the full linear group over a Dedekind ring

We study the subgroups of the full linear group GL(n, R) over a Dedekind ring R that contain the group of quasidiagonal matrices of fixed type with diagonal blocks of at least third order, each of which is generated by elementary matrices. For any such subgroup H there exists a unique D-net of ideals of R such that, where E() is the subgroup generated by all transvections of the net subgroup G(). and is the normalizer of G(). The subgroup E() is normal in. To study the factor group we introduce an intermediate subgroup F(), E() F() G(). The group is finite and is connected with permutations in the symmetric group. The factor group G()/F() is Abelian — these are the values of a certain determinant. In the calculation of F()/E() appears the SK₁-functor. Results are stated without proof.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 94, pp. 13–20, 1979.

Than we investigate third-order properties of the pointpaths.     

The convergence rates of empirical Bayes estimation in a multiple linear regression model

Empirical Bayes (EB) estimation of the parameter vector =(,²) in a multiple linear regression modelY=X+ is considered, where is the vector of regression coefficient, N(0,² I) and ² is unknown. In this paper, we have constructed the EB estimators of by using the kernel estimation of multivariate density function and its partial derivatives. Under suitable conditions it is shown that the convergence rates of the EB estimators areO(n ^{-(k-1)(k-2)/k(2k+p+1)}), where the natural numberk3, 1/3<<1, andp is the dimension of vector .The project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Noetherian Equations for Matrices

Let L|K be a finite Galois extension. Using central simple algebras we deal with the crossed representations of G = Gal(L|K) over L which are defined as mappings X of G into GL_n(L) satisfying X = X X. The last equation is the Noetherian equation in case n=1. Furtheron, more general crossed projective representations are considered which obey an equation X X = Xf_, where f_, L.     

Flag-Transitive 2-Designs Arising from Line-Spreads in PG(2n-1,2)

A Singer cycle in GL(n,q) is an element of order q permuting cyclically all the nonzero vectors. Let be a Singer cycle in GL(2n,2). In this note we shall count the number of lines in PG (2n-1,2) whose orbit under the subgroup of index 3 in the Singer group is a spread. The lines constituting such a spread are permuted cyclically by the group ³, hence gives rise to a flag-transitive 2-(2²ⁿ ,4,1) design.

More precisely we give a Birkoff-Lewis type result of existence of periodic solutions localized near an equilibrium point, that is we search for distinct 2k-periodic solutions (subharmonics) of the wave equation, k, which have small amplitude and minimal period 2k.Work supported by M.U.R.S.T.

Majorants and Extreme Points of Unit Balls in Bernstein Spaces

The Bernstein space B ^p () (1 $$ " align="middle" border="0"> 0) is the set of functions from L ^p( ) having Fourier transforms (in the sense of generalized functions) with supports in the compact segment [- , ]. Every function f has an analytic continuation onto the complex plane, which is an entire function of exponential type . The spaces B ^p ()\, are conjugate Banach spaces. Therefore, the closed unit ball in B ^p () has a rich set of extreme (boundary) points: coincides with the weakly ^* closed convex hull of its extreme points. Since, for 1< p< , B ^p () is a uniformly convex space, only the balls and have nontrivially arranged sets of extreme points. In this paper, in terms of zeros of entire functions, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of extremeness for functions from .

Projektive G-Faserräume

Let > 0 be an integer. A projective -fibre space is formed by a covering of a projective geometry with -1 isomorphic geometries. The double elliptic space (Sphärischer Raum) is an example of a 2-fibre space. This note deals with projective -fibre spaces which are structured by multy valued orderfunctions (This notion was introduced by W. JUNKERS [2] for projective geometries) the range of which is a group G. If such an ordered -fibre space has the property ¦G¦=, it is called projective G-fibre space. It is proved that the desarguesian projective G-fibre spaces V are exactly those, which are induced by a vector space S over a field K (commutative or not) having a normal subgroup P K^*(·) with K^* P such that GK^*/P and SV^*/P. This theorem is a generalization of the well-known case P=K^*.     

On the On-line Number of Snacks Problem

In the number of snacks problem (NSP), which was originally proposed by our team, an on-line player is given the task of deciding how many shares of snacks his noshery should prepare each day. The on-line player must make his decision and then finish the preparation before the customers come to his noshery for the snacks; in other words, he must make decision in an on-line fashion. His goal is to minimize the competitive ratio, defined as _: C_A()/C_OPT(), where denotes a sequence of numbers of customers, C _OPT() is the cost of satisfying by an optimal off-line algorithm, and C _A() is the cost of satisfying by an on-line algorithm. In this paper we give a competitive algorithm for on-line number of snacks problem P1, the Extreme Numbers Harmonic Algorithm(ENHA), with competitive ratio 1+p(M-m)/(M+m), where M and m are two extreme numbers of customers over the total period of the game, and p is a ratio concerning the cost of the two types of situations, and then prove that this competitive ratio is the best one if an on-line player chooses a fixed number of shares of snacks for any sequence of numbers of customers. We also discuss several variants of the NSP and give some results for it. Finally, we propose a conjecture for the on-line NSP.
