On ideals of the group algebra of a free group of degree of freedom two over the field of complex numbers

In this paper, we prove the existence of an element of the group algebra A=F of a free groupF with two generatorsx andy over the field of complex numbersC such that, for any complexa andb for which ¦a¦=¦b¦=1, we haveA _a,b ()A=0, where _a,b ( is an automorphism ofA that mapsx,y intoax, by, respectively. Thus, we give a negative answer to question 12.46 of P. A. Linnel from Kourovka Notebook.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 47, No.4, pp. 571–572, April, 1995.     

Subgroups of free groups

With each subgroup A of a free group F there is associated a number FA called the quasi-index. It is proved that FA=ªA¦ if ¦FA¦ is finite. Some properties of the quasi-index are also established, in particular that the analog of Lagrange's theorem is valid for it: FB FA AB if A B as well as generalizations of Howson's and Byrnes' theorems.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, Nos. 7 and 8, pp. 1115–1119, July–August, 1991.     

On the Iterates of the Sum of Unitary Divisors

A relation between Chung's and Strassen's laws of the iterated logarithm

Summary Let W(t) be a standard Wiener process and let f(x) be a function from the compact class in Strassen's law of the iterated logarithm. We investigate the lim inf behavior of the variable sup ¦W(xT)(2T loglog T)^–1/2–f(x)¦, 0x1 suitably normalized as T.This extends Chung's result valid for f(x)0, stating that lim inf.[ sup ¦(2T loglogT)^–1/2 W(xT)¦(loglog T)^–1]=/4 a.s.

Quasiclassical asymptotic behavior of the scattering cross section for asymptotically homogeneous potentials

One considers the total scattering cross section on the potential gV(x), x^m, m3, for large values of the coupling constant g and of the wave number k. One assumes that V(x)(x/|1x|)|x|^–, 2>m+1, as ¦x¦. It is shown that for gk^–1 , g^3–ak^2(a–2) the scattering cross section is equal asymptotically to _a(gk^–1), x=(m–1)(–1)^–1. Here the coefficient _a is determined only by the function and the number . Under the additional conditions >0, V>0, the indicated asymptotic behavior holds in the large domain gk^–1 , gk^a–z c(gk^–1), >0.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Perron-frobenius theory for Banach spaces with a hyperbolic cone

If X is a real Banach space, then the inequality x defines so-called hyperbolic cone in E=X. We develop a relevant version of Perron-Frobenius-Krein-Rutman theory.     

Existence for the Cahn-Hilliard phase separation model with a nondifferentiable energy

Summary The Cahn-Hilliard model for phase separation in a binary alloy leads to the equations (I) u_t=w, (II) w= (u)– u with an associated energy functional F(u)=f [(u)+ +¦u¦²/2] dx. In this paper we discuss the existence theory for initial bounday value problems arising from modifications to the Cahn-Hilliard model due to the addition of the non-differentiable term ¦u¦dx to the energy F(u).

Phragmén-Lindelöf theorems for second-order quasilinear elliptic equations

Analogues are formulated of the well-known, in the theory of analytic functions, Phragmen-Lindelöf theorem for the gradients of solutions of a broad class of quasilinear equations of elliptic type. Examples are given illustrating the accuracy of the results obtained for the gradients of solutions of the equations of the form div(|U|^–2u)=f(x, u, u), where f(x, u, u) is a function locally bounded in ²ⁿ⁺¹. f(x, 0, u)=0, uf(x, u, u) c¦u¦1+q(1+ ¦u|), > 1, c > 0, q > 0, is an arbitrary real number, and n >- 2. The basic role in the technique employed in the paper is played by the apparatus of capacitary characteristics.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 10, pp. 1376–1381, October, 1992.The author sincerely appreciates E.

Universal correlations in finite posets

Posets A, BX×X, with X finite, are said to be universally correlated (AB) if, for all posets R over X, (i.e., all posets RY×Y with XY), we have P(RA) P(RB)P(RAB) P(R). Here P(RA), for instance, is the probability that a randomly chosen bijection from Y to the totally ordered set with |Y| elements is a linear extension of RA. We show that AB iff, for all posets R over X, P(RA) P(RB)P(RAB) P(R(AB)).Winkler proved a theorem giving a necessary and sufficient condition for AB. We suggest an alteration to his proof, and give another condition equivalent to AB.Daykin defined the pair (A, B) to be universally negatively correlated (A B) if, for all posets R over X, P(RA) P(RB)P(RAB) P(R(AB)). He suggested a condition for AB. We give a counterexample to that conjecture, and establish the correct condition. We write AB if, for all posets R over X, P(RA) P(RB)P(RAB) P(R). We give a necessary and sufficient condition for AB.We also give constructive techniques for listing all pairs (A, B) satisfying each of the relations AB, AB, and AB.

Some more general bounds on the residual term of the Lagrange interpolation formula

Error bounds are derived for the Lagrange interpolation formula and for the k-th derivative of the residual term of this formula in terms of the Lipschitz constant of the n-th derivative for the case with (n+1) nodes and also for the case when the functions satisfy a special condition: G x, y, z [a, b]: ¦ (x)(z–y) +(y)(x–z)+(z)(y–x)¦G¦(x–y)(y–z)(z–x)¦.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 73, pp. 27–32, 1992.
