Quasimonotonicity,regularity and duality for nonlinear systems of partial differential equations

Summary We prove partial regularity for the vector-valued differential forms solving the system (A(x, ))=0, d=0, and for the gradient of the vector-valued functions solving the system div A(x, Du)=B(x, u, Du). Here the mapping A, with A(x, w) (1+ + ¦¦²)^{(p – 2)/2} (p2), satisfies a quasimonotonicity condition which, when applied to the gradient A(x, )=Df(x, ) of a real-valued functionf, is analogous to but stronger than quasiconvexity for f.

Sufficient Conditions for the Existence of Disintegrations

Let be a probability space and a partition of . A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a -additive and measurable disintegration of P on . It is also shown that P admits a -additive (but not measurable) disintegration on whenever is a standard space and the set (₁, ₂):₁ and ₂ are in the same element of } is coanalytic in ×. Finally, sufficient statistics (in the classical Fisherian sense) are investigated by using -additive disintegrations as conditional probabilities.     

Point spectrum of elliptic operators in fibered half-cylinders and the related completeness problem

We consider an elliptic system in a half-cylinder ₊ × with coefficients constant in the direction of the axis and not necessarily smooth. We take different boundary conditions on {0} × and Dirichlet condition on {0}×. This defines a self-adjoint operatorA ^D. The main result in this paper is thatA ^D does not have eigenvalues. This answers conjecture 1.6 raised in [3]. When is bounded, we use this result to prove the completeness of a part of the family of eigenvectors, and associated vectors, of a corresponding operator pencils.This work was supported by INRIA, France, and partially by UCLA.     

Holomorphe Differentialformen auf algebraischen Varietäten mit Singularitäten I

Let X be a projective algebraic variety over of dimension d, reduced and irreducible. In this paper we propose a definition for differential forms w of degree d on X to be holomorphic at an arbitrary point of X (which may be a singular point). It will be shown that the holomorphic d-forms define a sheaf _X, which coincides with the usual sheaf of holomorphic d-forms _X in case X has no singularities. Moreover, _X is isomorphic to the canonical sheaf of Grothendieck [5]:, (if X is a closed subvariety of ⁿ). Thus in the Serre duality theorem for projective varieties with singularities may be replaced by _X.     

On optimization of weight quadrature formulas

We obtain asymptotically optimal quadrature formulas on the classH [-1, 1] for an arbitrary continuous weight function which is positive on [-1, 1] almost everywhere and for a wide class of moduli of continuity (t).Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 47, No. 8, pp. 1011–1021, August, 1995.This work was financially supported by the Ukrainian State Committee on Science and Technology.     

A preconditioner for constrained and weighted least squares problems with Toeplitz structure

We study methods for solving the constrained and weighted least squares problem min _x by the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method. HereW = diag (₁, , _m ) with _{1 m} 0, andA ^T = [T ₁ ^T , ,T _k ^T ] with Toeplitz blocksT _l R ^{n × n} ,l = 1, ,k. It is well-known that this problem can be solved by solving anaugmented linear 2 × 2 block linear systemM +Ax =b, A ^T = 0, whereM =W ^–1. We will use the PCG method with circulant-like preconditioner for solving the system. We show that the spectrum of the preconditioned matrix is clustered around one. When the PCG method is applied to solve the system, we can expect a fast convergence rate.Research supported by HKRGC grants no. CUHK 178/93E and CUHK 316/94E.

The transfer of the Lyapunov integral criterion to two-dimensional periodic systems of second order

Two possibilities of the transfer of the Lyapunov integral criterion [1, p. 203] (see also [2; 3, p. 177]) for the boundedness of all the solutions of the scalar equation x+(t)x=0 with nonnegative-periodic function(t) to the two-dimensional systems x=A(t)x with piecewise continuous -periodic matrix coefficients are indicated.     

Classifying countable Boolean terms

We deal with the Borel and difference hierarchies in the space P of all subsets of endowed with the Scott topology. (The spaces P and 2 coincide set-theoretically but differ topologically.) We look at the Wadge reducibility in P. The results obtained are applied to the problem of characterizing ₁-terms t which satisfy C = t( ₁ ⁰ ) for a given Borel-Wadge class C. We give its solution for some levels of the Wadge hierarchy, in particular, all levels of the Hausdorff difference hierarchy. Finally, we come up with a discussion of some relevant facts and open questions.__________Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 173–197, March–April, 2005.     

1-formes fermées singulières et groupe fondamental

Summary We study the influence of the ₁ of a closed manifoldM ⁿ (n3) on the foliations ofM defined by closed differential 1-forms with Morse singularities (of index 0,n). Every nonexact form is cohomologous to a weakly complete one, that is one whose leaf space is of the same type as that of a nonsingular form. Generically, a form has compact leaves or is weakly complete. If ₁ M has no quotient isomorphic to *, then every nonexact form onM is weakly complete. We also say a form is complete if every path inM is homotopic to either a path transverse to or a path contained in a leaf of . Completeness of depends only on its de R ham cohomology class. The set of complete cohomology classes depends only on ₁ M and is related to finitely generated normal subgroups of ₁ M with quotient . If ₁ M is nilpotent (or even polycyclic), every nonexact form onM is complete. On irreducible 3-manifolds, a form is complete iff it is cohomologous to a nonsingular one.     

Sur les Solutions D'un Opérateur Différentiel Singulier Semi-Linéaire

This paper deals with the following Dirichlet problem Lu = 1A ( Au – qu = – f ( , u ) on ] 0, [ , u, ( 0 ) = 0, u ( ) = 0, where ] 0, + ], q 0 is continuous on [ 0, [ × ] 0, + [ ] 0, + [ is continuous and A satisfies some appropriate conditions. The main result is the existence and the uniqueness of a strictly positive regular solution of the problem ( ). Moreover, we study the behaviour of this solution in a neighbourhood of . Our approach is based on the use of the Green's function of the homogeneous equation and Schauder's fixed point theorem.     

The Lattice of Interpretability Types of Cantor Varieties

For integers 1 m < n, a Cantor variety with m basic n-ary operations _i and n basic m-ary operations _k is a variety of algebras defined by identities _k(₁( ), ... , _m( )) = _k and i(₁( ), ... ,_n( )) = y _i, where = (x ₁., ... , x _n) and = (y ₁, ... , y _m). We prove that interpretability types of Cantor varieties form a distributive lattice, , which is dual to the direct product ₁ × ₂ of a lattice, ₁, of positive integers respecting the natural linear ordering and a lattice, ₂, of positive integers with divisibility. The lattice is an upper subsemilattice of the lattice of all interpretability types of varieties of algebras.     

Computation of efficient solutions of discretely distributed stochastic optimization problems

In engineering and economics often a certain vectorx of inputs or decisions must be chosen, subject to some constraints, such that the expected costs (or loss) arising from the deviation between the outputA() x of a stochastic linear systemxA()x and a desired stochastic target vectorb() are minimal. Hence, one has the following stochastic linear optimization problem minimizeF(x)=Eu(A()x b()) s.t.xD, (1) whereu is a convex loss function on ^m , (A(), b()) is a random (m,n + 1)-matrix, E denotes the expectation operator andD is a convex subset of ⁿ . Concrete problems of this type are e.g. stochastic linear programs with recourse, error minimization and optimal design problems, acid rain abatement methods, problems in scenario analysis and non-least square regression analysis.Solving (1), the loss functionu should be exactly known. However, in practice mostly there is some uncertainty in assigning appropriate penalty costs to the deviation between the outputA ()x and the targetb(). For finding in this situation solutions hedging against uncertainty a set of so-called efficient points of (1) is defined and a numerical procedure for determining these compromise solutions is derived. Several applications are discussed.

Let (n) be the number of all prime divisors ofn and (n) the number of distinct prime divisors ofn. We definev _q (x)=|{nx(n)–(n)=q}|. In this paper, we give an asymptotic development ofv _q (x); this improves on previous results.

     

An application of Shoenfield's absoluteness theorem to the theory of uniform distribution

IfC is a Polish probability space, a Borel set whose sectionsW _x ( have measure one and are decreasing , then we show that the set _x W _x has measure one. We give two proofs of this theorem—one in the language of set theory, the other in the language of probability theory, and we apply the theorem to a question on completely uniformly distributed sequences.Supported by DFG grant Ko 490/7-1.     

Compact interval spaces in which all closed subsets are homeomorphic to clopen ones,I

A topological space X whose topology is the order topology of some linear ordering on X, is called an interval space. A space in which every closed subspace is homeomorphic to a clopen subspace, is called a CO space. We regard linear orderings as topological spaces, by equipping them with their order topology. If L and K are linear orderings, then L ^*, L+K, L·K denote respectively the reverse orderings of L, the ordered sum of L and K and the lexicographic order on L×K (so ·2=+ and 2·=). Ordinals are considered as linear orderings, and cardinals are initial ordinals. For cardinals , 0, let L(, )= + 1 + ^* . Main theorem. Let X be a compact interval space. Then X is a CO space if and only if X is homeomorphic to a space of the form + 1 + _i L( _i , _i ), where is any ordinal, n, for every ii, _i are regular cardinals and _{i i}, and if n>0, then max({ _i: i}) · . This first part is devoted to show the following result. Theorem: If X is a compact interval CO space, then X is a scattered space (that means that every subspace of X has an isolated point).Supported by the Université Claude-Bernard (Lyon-1), the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and the C.N.R.S.: UPR 9016Supported by the City of Lyon

Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Path Integral and Its Application

Introducing a path integral for the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process distorted by a potential V(x), we find out the T limit of the probability distributions of X[]:=1/T ₀ ^T V((t))dt for Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process (t), with appropriate values of the exponent that depend on V. The results are compared with those for the Wiener process.

The differences between Kurepa trees and Jech-Kunen trees

Summary By an ₁ we mean a tree of power ₁ and height ₁. An ₁-tree is called a Kurepa tree if all its levels are countable and it has more than ₁ branches. An ₁-tree is called a Jech-Kunen tree if it has branches for some strictly between ₁ and . In Sect. 1, we construct a model ofCH plus , in which there exists a Kurepa tree with not Jech-Kunen subtrees and there exists a Jech-Kunen tree with no Kurepa subtrees. This improves two results in [Ji1] by not only eliminating the large cardinal assumption for [Ji1, Theorem 2] but also handling two consistency proofs of [Ji1, Theorem 2 and Theorem 3] simultaneously. In Sect. 2, we first prove a lemma saying that anAxiom A focing of size ₁ over Silver's model will not produce a Kurepa tree in the extension, and then we apply this lemma to prove that, in the model constructed for Theorem 2 in [Ji1], there exists a Jech-Kunen tree and there are no Kurepa trees.
