Let L_q (1q<∞) be the space of functions f measurable on I=[−1,1] and integrable to the power q, with normL_∞ is the space of functions measurable on I with normWe denote by AC the set of all functions absolutely continuous on I. For nN, q[1,∞] we setW_n,q={f:f⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾AC, f⁽ⁿ⁾L_q}.In this paper, we consider the problem of accuracy of constants A, B in the inequalities (1)|| f^(m)||_qA|| f||_p+B|| f^(m+k+1)||_r, mN, kW; p,q,r[1,∞], fW_m+k+1,r.     

Relative rearrangement and Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent

We apply the techniques of monotone and relative rearrangements to the nonrearrangement invariant spaces L^p()(Ω) with variable exponent. In particular, we show that the maps uL^p()(Ω)→k(t)u_*L^p_*()(0,measΩ) and uL^p()(Ω)→u_*L^p*()(0,measΩ) are locally -Hölderian (u_* (resp. p^*) is the decreasing (resp. increasing) rearrangement of u (resp. p)). The pointwise relations for the relative rearrangement are applied to derive the Sobolev embedding with eventually discontinuous exponents.     

Convergence of a Halpern-type iteration algorithm for a class of pseudo-contractive mappings

Let E be a real reflexive Banach space with uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm. Let K be a nonempty bounded closed and convex subset of E. Let T:K→K be a strictly pseudo-contractive map and let L>0 denote its Lipschitz constant. Assume F(T){xK:Tx=x}≠0/ and let zF(T). Fix δ(0,1) and let δ^* be such that δ^*δL(0,1). Define , where δ_n(0,1) and limδ_n=0. Let {α_n} be a real sequence in (0,1) which satisfies the following conditions: . For arbitrary x₀,uK, define a sequence {x_n}K by x_n+1=α_nu+(1−α_n)S_nx_n. Then, {x_n} converges strongly to a fixed point of T.     

Universal Polynomial Majorants on Convex Bodies

Let K be a convex body in ^d (d2), and denote by B_n(K) the set of all polynomials p_n in ^d of total degree n such that |p_n|1 on K. In this paper we consider the following question: does there exist a p*_nB_n(K) which majorates every element of B_n(K) outside of K? In other words can we find a minimal γ1 and p*_nB_n(K) so that |p_n(x)|γ |p*_n(x)| for every p_nB_n(K) and x ^d\K? We discuss the magnitude of γ and construct the universal majorants p*_n for evenn. It is shown that γ can be 1 only on ellipsoids. Moreover, γ=O(1) on polytopes and has at most polynomial growth with respect to n, in general, for every convex body K.     

-regularity of the Aronsson equation in

For a nonnegative, uniformly convex HC²(R²) with H(0)=0, if uC(Ω), ΩR², is a viscosity solution of the Aronsson equation (1.7), then uC¹(Ω). This generalizes the C¹-regularity theorem on infinity harmonic functions in R² by Savin [O. Savin, C¹-regularity for infinity harmonic functions in dimensions two, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 176 (3) (2005) 351–361] to the Aronsson equation.     

Maps on spaces of symmetric matrices preserving idempotence

Suppose F is an arbitrary field. Let |F| be the number of the elements of F. Let M_n(F) be the space of all n×n matrices over F, and let S_n(F) be the subset of M_n(F) consisting of all symmetric matrices. Let V{S_n(F),M_n(F)}, a map Φ:V→V is said to preserve idempotence if A-λB is idempotent if and only if Φ(A)-λΦ(B) is idempotent for any A,BV and λF. It is shown that: when the characteristic of F is not 2, |F|>3 and n4, Φ:S_n(F)→S_n(F) is a map preserving idempotence if and only if there exists an invertible matrix PM_n(F) such that Φ(A)=PAP^-1 for every AS_n(F) and P^tP=aI_n for some nonzero scalar a in F.     

Optimal Recovery of the Derivative of Periodic Analytic Functions from Hardy Classes

LetS_β{z : |Im z|<β}. For 2π-periodic functions which are analytic inS_βwithp-integrable boundary values, we construct an optimal method of recovery off′(ξ), ξS_β, using information about the valuesf(x₁), mldr;, f(x_n), x_j[0, 2π).     

Every 4-connected line graph of a quasi claw-free graph is hamiltonian connected

Let G be a graph. For u,vV(G) with dist_G(u,v)=2, denote J_G(u,v)={wN_G(u)∩N_G(v)|N_G(w)N_G(u)N_G(v){u,v}}. A graph G is called quasi claw-free if J_G(u,v)≠ for any u,vV(G) with dist_G(u,v)=2. In 1986, Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian. In this paper we show that every 4-connected line graph of a quasi claw-free graph is hamiltonian connected.     

The eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian equations

This article studies the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian equations △u = -λu, x ∈Ω, u = 0, x ∈ (δ)Ω, where Ω (∩) Rn is a smooth bounded convex domain. By using the method of appropriate barrier function combined with the maximum principle, authors obtain a sharp lower bound of the difference of the first two eigenvalues for the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem. This study improves the result of S.T.Yau et al.     

Transformation graph

The transformation graph G^-+- of a graph G is the graph with vertex set V(G)E(G), in which two vertices u and v are joined by an edge if one of the following conditions holds: (i) u,vV(G) and they are not adjacent in G, (ii) u,vE(G) and they are adjacent in G, (iii) one of u and v is in V(G) while the other is in E(G), and they are not incident in G. In this paper, for any graph G, we determine the connectivity and the independence number of G^-+-. Furthermore, for a graph G of order n4, we show that G^-+- is hamiltonian if and only if G is not isomorphic to any graph in {2K₁+K₂,K₁+K₃}{K_1,n-1,K_1,n-1+e,K_1,n-2+K₁}.     

On some d-dimensional dual hyperovals in

Let d≥3. Let H be a d+1-dimensional vector space over GF(2) and {e₀,…,e_d} be a specified basis of H. We define Supp(t){e_t1,…,e_tl}, a subset of a specified base for a non-zero vector t=e_t1++e_tl of H, and Supp(0)0/. We also define J(t)Supp(t) if |Supp(t)| is odd, and J(t)Supp(t){0} if |Supp(t)| is even.For s,tH, let {a(s,t)} be elements of H(HH) which satisfy the following conditions: (1) a(s,s)=(0,0), (2) a(s,t)=a(t,s), (3) a(s,t)≠(0,0) if s≠t, (4) a(s,t)=a(s^′,t^′) if and only if {s,t}={s^′,t^′}, (5) {a(s,t)|tH} is a vector space over GF(2), (6) {a(s,t)|s,tH} generate H(HH). Then, it is known that S{X(s)|sH}, where X(s){a(s,t)|tH{s}}, is a dual hyperoval in PG(d(d+3)/2,2)=(H(HH)){(0,0)}.In this note, we assume that, for s,tH, there exists some x_s,t in GF(2) such that a(s,t) satisfies the following equation: Then, we prove that the dual hyperoval constructed by {a(s,t)} is isomorphic to either the Huybrechts’ dual hyperoval, or the Buratti and Del Fra’s dual hyperoval.     

Smoothest Interpolation in the Mean

Not all quadrative norms are strongly stable

A norm N on an algebra A is called quadrative if N(x²) ≤ N(x)² for all x A, and strongly stable if N(x^k) ≤ N(x)^k for all x A and all k = 2, 3, 4…. Our main purpose in this note is to show that not all quadrative norms are strongly stable.     

Inner Functions and Cyclic Composition Operators on H(Bn)

The present paper shows that the algebra generated by {C|  Aut(B_n)} is cyclic on H²(B_n), and any nonconstant function f  H²(B_n) is a cyclic vector of . In addition, the hypercyclic and cyclic composition operators will be discussed.     

Regularity results for stable-like operators

For α[1,2) we consider operators of the form

and for α(0,1) we consider the same operator but where the f term is omitted. We prove, under appropriate conditions on A(x,h), that any solution u to will be in C^α+β if fC^β.     

About equivalent interval colorings of weighted graphs

Given a graph G=(V,E) with strictly positive integer weights ω_i on the vertices iV, a k-interval coloring of G is a function I that assigns an interval I(i){1,…,k} of ω_i consecutive integers (called colors) to each vertex iV. If two adjacent vertices x and y have common colors, i.e. I(i)∩I(j)≠0/ for an edge [i,j] in G, then the edge [i,j] is said conflicting. A k-interval coloring without conflicting edges is said legal. The interval coloring problem (ICP) is to determine the smallest integer k, called interval chromatic number of G and denoted χ_int(G), such that there exists a legal k-interval coloring of G. For a fixed integer k, the k-interval graph coloring problem (k-ICP) is to determine a k-interval coloring of G with a minimum number of conflicting edges. The ICP and k-ICP generalize classical vertex coloring problems where a single color has to be assigned to each vertex (i.e., ω_i=1 for all vertices iV).Two k-interval colorings I₁ and I₂ are said equivalent if there is a permutation π of the integers 1,…,k such that ℓI₁(i) if and only if π(ℓ)I₂(i) for all vertices iV. As for classical vertex coloring, the efficiency of algorithms that solve the ICP or the k-ICP can be increased by avoiding considering equivalent k-interval colorings, assuming that they can be identified very quickly. To this purpose, we define and prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence of two k-interval colorings. We then show how a simple tabu search algorithm for the k-ICP can possibly be improved by forbidding the visit of equivalent solutions.     

A pointwise convergence for Sobolev space functions

Let 1<p<∞, and k,m be positive integers such that 0(k−2m)pn. Suppose ΩRⁿ is an open set, and Δ is the Laplacian operator. We will show that there is a sequence of positive constants c_j such that for every f in the Sobolev space W^k,p(Ω), for all xΩ except on a set whose Bessel capacity B_k−2m,p is zero.     

Density of Gabor Frames

A Gabor system is a set of time-frequency shifts S(g, Λ) ={e^{2 π ibx}g(x − a)}_{(a, b) Λ} of a function g L²(R^d). We prove that if a finite union of Gabor systems _{k = 1}^rS(g_k, Λ_k) forms a frame for L²(R^d) then the lower and upper Beurling densities of Λ = _{k = 1}^r Λ_k satisfy D⁻(Λ) ≥ 1 and D ⁺ (Λ) < ∞. This extends recent work of Ramanathan and Steger. Additionally, we prove the conjecture that no collection _{k = 1}^r{g_k(x − a)}_{a Γk} of pure translates can form a frame for L²(R^d).     

Maximal Inequalities and Lebesgue's Differentiation Theorem for Best Approximant by Constant over Balls

For fL_p( ⁿ), with 1p<∞, >0 and x ⁿ we denote by T(f)(x) the set of every best constant approximant to f in the ball B(x, ). In this paper we extend the operators T_p to the space L_p−1( ⁿ)+L_∞( ⁿ), where L₀ is the set of every measurable functions finite almost everywhere. Moreover we consider the maximal operators associated to the operators T_p and we prove maximal inequalities for them. As a consequence of these inequalities we obtain a generalization of Lebesgue's Differentiation Theorem.
