On boundary crossings of the samplepth quantile

LetX ₁,X ₂,... be a sequence of independent random variables with distributionF. Suppose that 0<p<1, thatξ _p is the uniquepth quantile ofF, and thatξ _p,n is the samplepth quantile ofX ₁,...,X _n . Ifb(n)→0⁺ sufficiently slowly, then $$N(b) = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {I\left\{ {\left| {\xi _{p,n} - \xi _p } \right| > b(n)} \right\}} $$ and $$L(b) = \sup \left\{ {n:\left| {\xi _{p,n} - \xi _p } \right| > b(n)} \right\}$$ are proper random variables (finite with probability one). In this paper we investigate the moment behavior of exp{Nb ² (N)} and exp{Lb ² (L)}.     

The maximal variation of a bounded martingale

Let \(\chi _0^n = \left\{ {X_t } \right\}_0^n \) be a martingale such that 0≦X_i≦1;i=0, …,n. For 0≦p≦1 denote by ? _p ⁿ the set of all such martingales satisfying alsoE(X₀)=p. Thevariation of a martingale χ ₀ ⁿ is denoted byV ₀ ⁿ and defined by \(V(\chi _0^n ) = E\left( {\sum {_{l = 0}^{n - 1} } \left| {X_{l + 1} - X_l } \right|} \right)\) . It is proved that $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \left\{ {\mathop {Sup}\limits_{x_0^n \in \mathcal{M}_p^n } \left[ {\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}V(\chi _0^n )} \right]} \right\} = \phi (p)$$ , where ?(p) is the well known normal density evaluated at itsp-quantile, i.e. $$\phi (p) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }}\exp ( - \frac{1}{2}\chi _p^2 ) where \int_{ - \alpha }^{x_p } {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }}\exp ( - \frac{1}{2}\chi ^2 )} dx = p$$ . A sequence of martingales χ ₀ ⁿ ,n=1,2, … is constructed so as to satisfy \(\lim _{n \to \infty } (1/\sqrt n )V(\chi _0^n ) = \phi (p)\) .     

Оценки отклонений оп тимальных сеток вL p -норме и теория квад ратурных формул

Let E^s=[0, 1]^s be then-dimensional unit cube, 1<p<∞, anda=(a ₁, ...,a _s ) some set of natural numbers. Denote byL _p ^(a) , (E ^s ) the class of functionsf: E ^s → C for which $$\left\| {\frac{{\partial ^{b_1 + \cdots + b_s } f}}{{\partial x_1^{b_1 } \cdots \partial x_s^{b_s } }}} \right\|_p \leqslant 1,$$ where $$0< b_1< a_1 , ..., 0< b_s< a_s .$$ Set $$R_p^{\left( a \right)} \left( N \right) = \mathop {\inf }\limits_{card \mathfrak{S} = N} R_\mathfrak{S} \left( {L_p^{\left( a \right)} \left( {E^s } \right)} \right),$$ where $R_\mathfrak{S} \left( {L_p^{\left( a \right)} \left( {E^s } \right)} \right)$ is the error of the quadrature formulas on the mesh $\mathfrak{S}$ (for the classL _p ^(a) (E ^s )), consisting of N nodes and weights, and the infimum is taken with respect to all possibleN nodes and weights. In this paper, the two-sided estimate $$\frac{{\left( {\log N} \right)^{{{\left( {l - 1} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {l - 1} \right)} 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}{{N^d }} \ll _{p, a} R^{\left( a \right)} \left( N \right) \ll _{p, a} \frac{{\left( {\log N} \right)^{{{\left( {l - 1} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {l - 1} \right)} 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}{{N^d }}$$ is proved for every natural numberN > 1, whered=min{a ₁, ...,a _s }, whilel is the number of those components of a which coincide withd. An analogous result is proved for theL _p -norm of the deviation of meshes.     

A sharp equivalence between H ∞ functional calculus and square function estimates

Let (T _t ) _{t?≥ 0} be a bounded analytic semigroup on L ^p (Ω), with 1?<?p?<?∞. Let ?A denote its infinitesimal generator. It is known that if A and A ^* both satisfy square function estimates ${\bigl\|\bigl(\int_{0}^{\infty} \vert A^{\frac{1}{2}} T_t(x)\vert^2 {\rm d}t \bigr)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigr\|_{L^p} \lesssim \|x\|_{L^p}}$ and ${\bigl\|\bigl(\int_{0}^{\infty} \vert A^{*\frac{1}{2}} T_t^*(y) \vert^2 {\rm d}t \bigr)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigr\|_{L^{p^\prime}} \lesssim \|y\|_{L^{p^\prime}}}$ for ${x\in L^p(\Omega)}$ and ${y\in L^{p^\prime}(\Omega)}$ , then A admits a bounded ${H^{\infty}(\Sigma_\theta)}$ functional calculus for any ${\theta>\frac{\pi}{2}}$ . We show that this actually holds true for some ${\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}}$ .     

Density of primes in l-th power residues

Given a prime number l, a finite set of integers S?=?{a ₁, ...,a _m } and m many l-th roots of unity $\zeta_l^{r_i}, i=1, \ldots ,m$ we study the distribution of primes p in ?(ζ _l ) such that the l-th residue symbol of a _i with respect to p is $\zeta_l^{r_i}, \mbox{ for all } i$ . We find out that this is related to the degree of the extension $\mathbb{Q}(a_1^{\frac{1}{l}}, \ldots ,a_m^{\frac{1}{l}})/\mathbb{Q}$ . We give an algorithm to compute this degree. Also we relate this degree to rank of a matrix obtained from S?=?{a ₁, ...,a _m }. This latter argument enables one to describe the degree $\mathbb{Q}(a_1^{\frac{1}{l}}, \ldots ,a_m^{\frac{1}{l}})/\mathbb{Q}$ in much simpler terms.

Operator differentiable functions

A scalar functionf is called opertor differentiable if its extension via spectral theory to the self-adjoint members of \(\mathfrak{B}\) (H) is differentiable. The study of differentiation and perturbation of such operator functions leads to the theory of mappings defined by the double operator integral $$x \mapsto \smallint \smallint \frac{{f(\lambda ) - f(\mu )}}{{\lambda - \mu }}F(d\mu )xE(d\lambda ).$$ We give a new condition under which this mapping is bounded on \(\mathfrak{B}\) (H). We also present a means of extendingf to a function on all of \(\mathfrak{B}\) (H) and determine corresponding perturbation and differentiation formulas. A connection with the “joint Peirce decomposition” from the theory ofJB ^*-triples is found. As an application we broaden the class of functions known to preserve the domain of the generator of a strongly continuous one-parameter group of^*-automorphisms of aC ^*-algebra.     

A reciprocity formula for quadratic forms

LetQ(x) denote a quadratic form over the rational integers in four variables (x=(x₁,...,x₄)). ThenQ is representable as a symmetric matrix. Assume this matrix to be non-singular modp(p≠2 prime); then the “inverse” quadratic formQ ^?1 modp can be defined. Letf:?⁴→? be defined such that the Fourier transformf exists and the sum $$\sum\limits_{x \in \mathbb{Z}^4 } {f(c x), c \in \mathbb{R}, c \ne 0} $$ is convergent. Furthermore, letm=p ₁...p _k be the product ofk distinct primes withm>1, 2×m; let $$\varepsilon = \prod\limits_{i = 1}^k {\left( {\frac{{\det Q}}{{p_i }}} \right)} \ne 0$$ for the Legendre symbol $$\left( {\frac{ \cdot }{p}} \right)$$ ; define $$B_i (Q,x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {1 for Q(x) \equiv 0\bmod p_i } \\ , \\ {0 for Q(x)\not \equiv 0\bmod p_i } \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ and forr∈?,r>0, $$F(Q,f,r) = \sum\limits_{x \in \mathbb{Z}^4 } {\left( {\prod\limits_{i = 1}^k {\left( {B_i (Q,x) - \frac{1}{{p_i }}} \right)} } \right)f(r^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} x)} $$ Then we have $$F(Q,f,m) = \varepsilon F(Q^{ - 1} ,\hat f,m)$$      

Une Formule Approximative de Dimension pour Certains Produits de Riesz

Consider the Riesz product $\mu _a = \mathop \prod \limits_{n = 1}^\infty (1 + r\cos (q^n t + \varphi _n ))$ . We prove the following approximative formula for the dimension ofμ _a. $$\dim \mu _a = 1 - \frac{1}{{\log q}}\int_0^{2\pi } {(1 + r\cos x)\log (1 + r\cos x)\frac{{dx}}{{2\pi }} + 0\left( {\frac{r}{{q^2 \log q}}} \right).}$$      

The Concentration Function of Additive Functions with Special Weight

Suppose that $${g\left( n \right)}$$ is an additive real-valued function, W(N) = 4+ $$\mathop {\min }\limits_\lambda $$ ( λ₂ + $$\sum\limits_{p < N} {\frac{1}{2}} $$ min (1, ( g(p) - λlog p)²), E(N) = 4+1 $$\sum\limits_{\mathop {p < N,}\limits_{g(p) \ne 0} } {\frac{1}{p}.} $$ In this paper, we prove the existence of constants C₁, C₂ such that the following inequalities hold: $\mathop {\sup }\limits_a \geqslant \left| {\left\{ {n, m, k: m, k \in \mathbb{Z},n \in \mathbb{N},n + m^2 + k^2 } \right.} \right. = \left. {\left. {N,{\text{ }}g(n) \in [a,a + 1)} \right\}} \right| \leqslant \frac{{C_1 N}}{{\sqrt {W\left( N \right)} }},$ $\mathop {\sup }\limits_a \geqslant \left| {\left\{ {n, m, k: m, k \in \mathbb{Z},n \in \mathbb{N},n + m^2 + k^2 } \right.} \right. = \left. {\left. {N,{\text{ }}g(n) = a} \right\}} \right| \leqslant \frac{{C_2 N}}{{\sqrt {E\left( N \right)} }},$ . The obtained estimates are order-sharp.     

Polynomial approximation inL p(S) forp>0

For a simple polytopeS inR ^d andp>0 we show that the best polynomial approximationE _n(f)_p≡E_n(f)L_p(S) satisfies $$E_n \left( f \right)_p \leqslant C\omega _S^r \left( {f,\frac{1}{n}} \right)p,$$ where ω _S ^r is a measure of smoothness off. This result is the best possible in the sense that a weak-type converse inequality is shown and a realization of ω _S ^r (f,t)_p via polynomial approximation is proved.     

On the regularity of solutions of model nonlinear elliptic systems with the oblique derivative type boundary condition

Properties of generalized solutions of model nonlinear elliptic systems of second order are studied in the semiball $B_1^ + = B_1 (0) \cap \{ x_n > 0\} \subset $ ? ⁿ , with the oblique derivative type boundary condition on $\Gamma _1 = B_1 (0) \cap \{ x_n = 0\} $ . For solutionsu∈H ¹(B ₁ ⁺ ) of systems of the form $\frac{d}{{dx_\alpha }}a_\alpha ^k (u_x ) = 0, k \leqslant {\rm N}$ , it is proved that the derivatives u_x are Hölder in $B_1^ + \cup \Gamma _1 )\backslash \Sigma $ , where H_n?p(σ)=0,p>2. It is shown for continuous solutions u from H¹(B₁/⁺) of systems $\frac{d}{{dx_\alpha }}a_\alpha ^k (u,u_x ) = 0$ that the derivatives u_x are Hölder on the set $(B_1^ + \cup \Gamma _1 )\backslash \Sigma , dim_\kappa \Sigma \leqslant n - 2$ .

Toeplitz Operators on Fock Spaces {F^{p}(\varphi)}

Given \({\varphi\in \verb"C"^2(\textbf{C}^n)}\) satisfying \({dd^{c}\varphi\simeq \omega_0}\) , 0 < p < ∞, let \({F^p(\varphi)}\) be the generalized Fock space of all holomorphic functions f on \({{\mathbf C}^n}\) for which the Fock norm $$\|f\|_{p, \varphi}=\left(\,\int_{{\mathbf C}^n} \left|f(z)\right|^{p}e^ {-p\varphi(z)}dv(z)\right)^{\frac{1}{p}} < \infty. $$ While \({\varphi(z)=\frac{1}{2}|z|^2}\) , \({F^{p}(\varphi)}\) is the classical Fock space F ^p . In this paper, for all possible 0 < p,q < ∞ we characterize those positive Borel measures μ on \({{\mathbf C}^n}\) for which the induced Toeplitz operators T _μ are bounded (or compact) from one generalized Fock spaces \({F^p(\varphi)}\) to another \({F^q(\varphi)}\) . With symbols \({g\in BMO}\) , we obtain Zorborska’s criterion for boundedness (or compactness) of Toeplitz operators T _g on F ^p , our work extends the known results on F ². Toeplitz operators on p-th Fock space with 0 < p < 1 have not been studied before, even in the simplest case that \({\varphi(z)=\frac{1}{2}|z|^2}\) . Our analysis shows a significant difference between Bergman spaces and Fock spaces.     

Power Majorization and Majorization of Sequences

Let \(\bar x\) , \(\bar y\ \in\ R_n\) be vectors which satisfy x₁ ≥ x₂ ≥ … ≥ x_n and y₁ ≥ y₂ >- … ≥ y_n and Σx_i = Σy_i. We say that \(\bar x\) is power majorized by \(\bar y\) if Σx_i ^p ≤ Σy_i ^p for all real p ? [0, 1] and Σx_i ^p ≥ Σy_i ^p for p ∈ [0, 1]. In this paper we give a classification of functions ? (which includes all possible positive polynomials) for which \(\bar\phi(\bar x) \leq \bar\phi(\bar y)\) (see definition below) when \(\bar x\) is power majorized \(\bar y\) . We also answer a question posed by Clausing by showing that there are vectors \(\bar x\) , \(\bar y\ \in\ R^n\) of any dimension n ≥ 4 for which there is a convex function ? such that \(\bar x\) is power majorized by \(\bar y\) and \(\bar\phi(\bar x)\ >\ \bar\phi(\bar y)\) .     

1D Schrödinger Operators with Short Range Interactions: Two-Scale Regularization of Distributional Potentials

For real ${L_\infty(\mathbb{R})}$ -functions ${\Phi}$ and ${\Psi}$ of compact support, we prove the norm resolvent convergence, as ${\varepsilon}$ and ${\nu}$ tend to 0, of a family ${S_{\varepsilon \nu}}$ of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators on the line of the form $$S_{\varepsilon \nu} = -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + \frac{\alpha}{\varepsilon^2} \Phi \left( \frac{x}{\varepsilon} \right) + \frac{\beta}{\nu} \Psi \left(\frac{x}{\nu} \right),$$ provided the ratio ${\nu/\varepsilon}$ has a finite or infinite limit. The limit operator S ₀ depends on the shape of ${\Phi}$ and ${\Psi}$ as well as on the limit of ratio ${\nu/\varepsilon}$ . If the potential ${\alpha\Phi}$ possesses a zero-energy resonance, then S ₀ describes a non trivial point interaction at the origin. Otherwise S ₀ is the direct sum of the Dirichlet half-line Schrödinger operators.     

Strengthening of strong and approximate convexity?

Let X be a real linear space and $D\subseteq X$ be a nonempty convex subset. Given an error function E:[0,1]×(D?D)?????{+??} and an element $t\in\left]0,1\right[$ , a function f:D??? is called (E,t)-convex if $$f(tx+(1-t)y)\le tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)+E(t,x-y)$$ for all x,y??D. The main result of this paper states that, for all a,b??(???{0})+{0,t,1?t} such that {a,b,a+b}??????, every (E,t)-convex function is also $\big(F,\frac{a}{a+b}\big)$ -convex, where $$F(s,u):=\frac{{(a+b)}^2s(1-s)}{t(1-t)}E\left(t,\frac{u}{a+b}\right),\qquad (u\in (D-D), \, s\in\left]0,1\right[).$$ As a consequence, under further assumptions on E, the strong and approximate convexity properties of (E,t)-convex functions can be strengthened.     

Nikodym Maximal Functions Associated with Variable Planes in {\mathbb{R}^{3}}

Given a vector field ${\mathfrak{a}}$ on ${\mathbb{R}^3}$ , we consider a mapping ${x\mapsto \Pi_{\mathfrak{a}}(x)}$ that assigns to each ${x\in\mathbb{R}^3}$ , a plane ${\Pi_{\mathfrak{a}}(x)}$ containing x, whose normal vector is ${\mathfrak{a}(x)}$ . Associated with this mapping, we define a maximal operator ${\mathcal{M}^{\mathfrak{a}}_N}$ on ${L^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^3)}$ for each ${N\gg 1}$ by $$\mathcal{M}^{\mathfrak{a}}_Nf(x)=\sup_{x\in\tau} \frac{1}{|\tau|} \int_{\tau}|f(y)|\,dy$$ where the supremum is taken over all 1/N ×? 1/N?× 1 tubes τ whose axis is embedded in the plane ${\Pi_\mathfrak{a}(x)}$ . We study the behavior of ${\mathcal{M}^{\mathfrak{a}}_N}$ according to various vector fields ${\mathfrak{a}}$ . In particular, we classify the operator norms of ${\mathcal{M}^{\mathfrak{a}}_N}$ on ${L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)}$ when ${\mathfrak{a}(x)}$ is the linear function of the form (a ₁₁ x ₁?+?a ₂₁ x ₂, a ₁₂ x ₁?+?a ₂₂ x ₂, 1). The operator norm of ${\mathcal{M}^\mathfrak{a}_N}$ on ${L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)}$ is related with the number given by $$D=(a_{12}+a_{21})^2-4a_{11}a_{22}.$$      

Generalized one-sided laws of the iterated logarithm for random variables barely with or without finite mean

The almost sure limiting behavior of weighted sums of independent and identically distributed random variables barely with or without finite mean are established. Results for these partial sums, $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {k^\alpha X_k ,} \alpha \in R$$ have been studied, but only when α=?1 or α=0. As it turns out, the two cases of major interest are α=?1 and α>?1. The purpose of this article is to examine the latter.     

{\mathcal{C}^{\alpha}}-regularity for a class of non-diagonal elliptic systems with p-growth

We consider weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems in a W ^1,p -setting which arise as Euler equations to certain variational problems. The solutions are assumed to be stationary in the sense that the differential of the variational integral vanishes with respect to variations of the dependent and independent variables. We impose new structure conditions on the coefficients which yield everywhere ${\mathcal{C}^{\alpha}}$ -regularity and global ${\mathcal{C}^{\alpha}}$ -estimates for the solutions. These structure conditions cover variational integrals like ${\int F(\nabla u)\; dx}$ with potential ${F(\nabla u):=\tilde F (Q_1(\nabla u),\ldots, Q_N(\nabla u))}$ and positively definite quadratic forms in ${\nabla u}$ defined as ${Q_i(\nabla u)=\sum_{\alpha \beta} a_i^{\alpha \beta} \nabla u^\alpha \cdot \nabla u^\beta}$ . A simple example consists in ${\tilde F(\xi_1,\xi_2):= |\xi_1|^{\frac{p}{2}} + |\xi_2|^{\frac{p}{2}}}$ or ${\tilde F(\xi_1,\xi_2):= |\xi_1|^{\frac{p}{4}}|\xi_2|^{\frac{p}{4}}}$ . Since the Q _i need not to be linearly dependent our result covers a class of nondiagonal, possibly nonmonotone elliptic systems. The proof uses a new weighted norm technique with singular weights in an L ^p -setting.
