On the normalizing multiplier of the generalized Jackson kernel

We consider the question of evaluating the normalizing multiplier $$\gamma _{n,k} = \frac{1}{\pi }\int_{ - \pi }^\pi {\left( {\frac{{sin\tfrac{{nt}}{2}}}{{sin\tfrac{t}{2}}}} \right)^{2k} dt} $$ for the generalized Jackson kernel J _n,k (t). We obtain the explicit formula $$\gamma _{n,k} = 2\sum\limits_{p = 0}^{\left[ {k - \tfrac{k}{n}} \right]} {( - 1)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {2k} \\ p \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {k(n + 1) - np - 1} \\ {k(n - 1) - np} \\ \end{array} } \right)} $$ and the representation $$\gamma _{n,k} = \sqrt {\frac{{24}}{\pi }} \cdot \frac{{(n - 1)^{2k - 1} }}{{\sqrt {2k - 1} }}\left[ {1\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{{2k - 1}} + \omega (n,k)} \right],$$ , where $$\left| {\omega (n,k)} \right| < \frac{4}{{(2k - 1)\sqrt {ln(2k - 1)} }} + \sqrt {12\pi } \cdot \frac{{k^{\tfrac{3}{2}} }}{{n - 1}}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{n - 1}}} \right)^{2k - 2} .$$ .     

Regularized sums of half-integer powers of a Sturm-Liouville operator

We investigate the question of the regularized sums of part of the eigenvalues z_n (lying along a direction) of a Sturm-Liouville operator. The first regularized sum is $$\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {(z_n - n - \frac{{c_1 }}{n} + \frac{2}{\pi } \cdot z_n arctg \frac{1}{{z_n }} - \frac{2}{\pi }) = \frac{{B_2 }}{2} - c_1 \cdot \gamma + \int_1^\infty {\left[ {R(z) - \frac{{l_0 }}{{\sqrt z }} - \frac{{l_1 }}{z} - \frac{{l_2 }}{{z\sqrt z }}} \right]} } \sqrt z dz,$$ where the z_n are eigenvalues lying along the positive semi-axis, z _n ² =λ_n, $$l_0 = \frac{\pi }{2}, l_1 = - \frac{1}{2}, l_2 = - \frac{1}{4}\int_0^\pi {q(x) dx,} c_1 = - \frac{2}{\pi }l_2 ,$$ , B₂ is a Bernoulli number, γ is Euler's constant, and \(R(z)\) is the trace of the resolvent of a Sturm-Liouville operator.     

Pointwise estimates for Lagrange interpolation polynomials

Let f ∈ C[?1, 1]. Let the approximation rate of Lagrange interpolation polynomial of f based on the nodes $ \left\{ {\cos \frac{{2k - 1}} {{2n}}\pi } \right\} \cup \{ - 1,1\} $ be Δ _{n + 2}(f, x). In this paper we study the estimate of Δ _{n + 2}(f,x), that keeps the interpolation property. As a result we prove that $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\ln (n + 1) + \omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|} \right)} \right\}, $$ where T _n (x) = cos (n arccos x) is the Chebeyshev polynomial of first kind. Also, if f ∈ C ^r [?1, 1] with r ≧ 1, then $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {{n^r }}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\omega \left( {f^{(r)} ,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left( {\left( {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } + \frac{1} {n}} \right)^{r - 1} \ln (n + 1) + 1} \right)} \right\}. $$      

Asymptotic properties for the loglog laws under positive association

Let {X _n : n ?? 1} be a strictly stationary sequence of positively associated random variables with mean zero and finite variance. Set $S_n = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {X_k }$ , $Mn = \mathop {\max }\limits_{k \leqslant n} \left| {S_k } \right|$ , n ?? 1. Suppose that $0 < \sigma ^2 = EX_1^2 + 2\sum\limits_{k = 2}^\infty {EX_1 X_k < \infty }$ . In this paper, we prove that if E|X ₁|^2+?? < for some ?? ?? (0, 1], and $\sum\limits_{j = n + 1}^\infty {Cov\left( {X_1 ,X_j } \right) = O\left( {n^{ - \alpha } } \right)}$ for some ?? > 1, then for any b > ?1/2 $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow 0} \varepsilon ^{2b + 1} \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{(\log \log n)^{b - 1/2} }} {{n^{3/2} \log n}}} E\left\{ {M_n - \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2n\log \log n} } \right\}_ + = \frac{{2^{ - 1/2 - b} E\left| N \right|^{2(b + 1)} }} {{(b + 1)(2b + 1)}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\frac{{( - 1)^k }} {{(2k + 1)^{2(b + 1)} }}}$$ and $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \nearrow \infty } \varepsilon ^{ - 2(b + 1)} \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{(\log \log n)^b }} {{n^{3/2} \log n}}E\left\{ {\sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {\frac{{\pi ^2 n}} {{8\log \log n}}} - M_n } \right\}} _ + = \frac{{\Gamma (b + 1/2)}} {{\sqrt 2 (b + 1)}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\frac{{( - 1)^k }} {{(2k + 1)^{2b + 2} }}} ,$$ where x ₊ = max{x, 0}, N is a standard normal random variable, and ??(·) is a Gamma function.     

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.     

Series representations for γ and other mathematical constants

We present series representations for some mathematical constants, like γ, π, log 2, ζ(3). In particular, we prove that the following representation for Euler’s constant is valid: $$ \gamma = \sum\limits_{r = 1}^\infty {\sum\limits_{s = 1}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right)( - 1)^{r - s} 2^s \left( {\frac{1} {s} + \log \frac{s} {{s + 1}}} \right)} } . $$      

Strong approximation of Riesz means at critical index on Hp(T) (0<p≤1)

This paper is a continuation of [3]. Suppose f∈H^p(T), 0σ _r ^σ f,σ=1/p?1. When p=1, it is just the partial Fourier sums S_kf. In this paper we establish the sharp estimations on the degree of approximation: $$\left\{ { - \frac{1}{{logR}}\int\limits_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta f - f} \right\|_{H^p (T)}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqq C{\mathbf{ }}{}_p\omega \left( {f,{\mathbf{ }}( - \frac{1}{{logR}})^{1/p} } \right)_{H^p (T)} ,0< p< 1,$$ and \(\frac{1}{{\log L}}\sum\limits_{k - 1}^L {\frac{{\left\| {S_k f - f} \right\|_H 1_{(T)} }}{k} \leqq Cp\omega (f; - \frac{1}{{\log L}})_H 1_{(T)} } \) Where $$\omega (f,{\mathbf{ }}h)_{H^p (T)} \begin{array}{*{20}c} { = Sup} \\ {0 \leqq \left| u \right| \leqq h} \\ \end{array} \left\| {f( \cdot + u) - f( \cdot )} \right\|_{H^p (T).} $$ .

Liouville Systems of Mean Field Equations

In this article, we discuss the recent work of Lin and Zhang on the Liouville system of mean field equations: $$\Delta{u}_i+\sum_{j}a_{ij}\rho_{j} ({\frac{{h_j}e^{u_{j}}}{\int_{M}{h_{j}e^{u_{j}}}}-{\frac{1}{|M|}}})=0\,\, \quad{\rm on}\, M,$$ where M is a compact Riemann surface and |M| is the area, or $$\Delta{u}_i+\sum_{j}a_{ij}\rho_{j} \frac{{h_j}e^{u_{j}}}{\int_{\Omega}{h_{j}e^{u_{j}}}}=0\,\, \quad{\rm in}\, \Omega,$$ $${u_j}=0,\,\, \quad{\rm on}\, \partial\Omega, $$ where ?? is a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ . Among other things, we completely determine the set of non-critical parameters and derive a degree counting formula for these systems.     

Well-posedness of a semilinear heat equation with weak initial data

This article mainly consists of two parts. In the first part the initial value problem (IVP) of the semilinear heat equation $$\begin{gathered} \partial _t u - \Delta u = \left| u \right|^{k - 1} u, on \mathbb{R}^n x(0,\infty ), k \geqslant 2 \hfill \\ u(x,0) = u_0 (x), x \in \mathbb{R}^n \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ with initial data in $\dot L_{r,p} $ is studied. We prove the well-posedness when $$1< p< \infty , \frac{2}{{k(k - 1)}}< \frac{n}{p} \leqslant \frac{2}{{k - 1}}, and r =< \frac{n}{p} - \frac{2}{{k - 1}}( \leqslant 0)$$ and construct non-unique solutions for $$1< p< \frac{{n(k - 1)}}{2}< k + 1, and r< \frac{n}{p} - \frac{2}{{k - 1}}.$$ In the second part the well-posedness of the avove IVP for k=2 with μ₀?H ^s (? ⁿ ) is proved if $$ - 1< s, for n = 1, \frac{n}{2} - 2< s, for n \geqslant 2.$$ and this result is then extended for more general nonlinear terms and initial data. By taking special values of r, p, s, and u₀, these well-posedness results reduce to some of those previously obtained by other authors [4, 14].     

On some functional inequalities related to the logarithmic mean

We deal with some functional inequalities which are motivated by the following relation between the geometric mean G, the logarithmic mean L and the arithmetic mean A: $$ G^{\frac{2} {3}} \cdot A^{\frac{1} {3}} \leqq L \leqq \frac{2} {3}G + \frac{1} {3}A. $$      

On oscillatory integral Hilbert transformation with trigonometric polynomial phase

Let $ \mathcal{P}_n $ denote the set of algebraic polynomials of degree n with the real coefficients. Stein and Wpainger [1] proved that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ where C _n depends only on n. Later A. Carbery, S. Wainger and J. Wright (according to a communication obtained from I. R. Parissis), and Parissis [3] obtained the following sharp order estimate $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \sim \ln n. $$ . Now let $ \mathcal{T}_n $ denote the set of trigonometric polynomials $$ t(x) = \frac{{a_0 }} {2} + \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {(a_k coskx + b_k sinkx)} $$ with real coefficients a _k , b _k . The main result of the paper is that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{t( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{T}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{it(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ with an effective bound on C _n . Besides, an analog of a lemma, due to I. M. Vinogradov, is established, concerning the estimate of the measure of the set, where a polynomial is small, via the coefficients of the polynomial.     

Sharp weak-type inequalities for Hilbert transform and Riesz projection

The paper is devoted to the study of the weak norms of the classical operators in the vector-valued setting.

1. Let S, H denote the singular integral involution operator and the Hilbert transform on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {\mathcal{S}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p,$$ $$\left\| {\mathcal{H}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p.$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
2. Let P ₊ and P _? stand for the Riesz projection and the co-analytic projection on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {P + f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p ,$$ $$\left\| {P - f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p .$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
3. We establish the sharp versions of the estimates above in the nonperiodic case.

The results are new even if the operators act on complex-valued functions. The proof rests on the construction of an appropriate plurisubharmonic function and probabilistic techniques.     

On the asymptotic behaviour of the ideal counting function in quadratic number fields

LetK be a quadratic number field with discriminantD and denote byF(n) the number of integral ideals with norm equal ton. Forr≥1 the following formula is proved $$\sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {F(n)F(n + r) = M_K (r)x + E_K (x,r).} $$ HereM _k (r) is an explicitly determined function ofr which depends onK, and for every ε>0 the error term is bounded by \(|E_K (x,r)|<< |D|^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2} + \varepsilon } x^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 6}} \right. \kern-0em} 6} + \varepsilon } \) uniformly for \(r<< |D|^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} x^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 6}} \right. \kern-0em} 6}} \) Moreover,E _k (x,r) is small on average, i.e \(\int_X^{2X} {|E_K (x,r)|^2 dx}<< |D|^{4 + \varepsilon } X^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2} + \varepsilon } \) uniformly for \(r<< |D|X^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 4}} \right. \kern-0em} 4}} \) .     

Solvability of the Dirichlet problem for degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations

In a bounded domain of the n -dimensional (n?2) space one considers a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations, whose model is the equation $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {\frac{{\partial F}}{{\partial x_i }}} (a^{\ell _i } (u)\left| {u_{x_i } } \right|^{m_i - 2} u_{x_i } ) = f(x),$$ where x =(x₁,..., x_r), l_i?0, m_i>1, the function f is summable with some power, the nonnegative continuous function a(u) vanishes at a finite number of points and satisfies \(\frac{{lim}}{{\left| u \right| \to \infty }}a(u) > 0\) . One proves the existence of bounded generalized solutions with a finite integral $$\int\limits_\Omega {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {a^{\ell _i } (u)\left| {u_{x_i } } \right|^{m_i } dx} }$$ of the Dirichlet problem with zero boundary conditions.     

Some properties of elliptic Riesz means at critical index on Hp(TH)

Suppose f∈H^p(Tⁿ), 0 _r ^δ , δ=n/p?(n+1)/2. In this paper we eastablish the following inequality $$\mathop {\sup }\limits_{R > 1} \left\{ {\frac{1}{{\log R}}\int_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta } \right\|_{H^p (T^R )}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqslant C_{R,p} \left\| f \right\|_{H^p (T^R )} $$ It implies that $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{R \to \infty } \frac{1}{{\log R}}\int_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta - f} \right\|_{H^p (T^R )}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} = 0$$ Moreover we obtain the same conclusion when p=1 and n=1.

The Continuity of M and N in Greedy Lattice Animals

Congruences involving the Fermat quotient

Let p > 3 be a prime, and let q _p (2) = (2 ^p?1 ? 1)/p be the Fermat quotient of p to base 2. In this note we prove that $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {\frac{1}{{k \cdot {2^k}}}} \equiv {q_p}(2) - \frac{{p{q_p}{{(2)}^2}}}{2} + \frac{{{p^2}{q_p}{{(2)}^3}}}{3} - \frac{7}{{48}}{p^2}{B_{p - 3}}(\bmod {p^3})$$ , which is a generalization of a congruence due to Z.H. Sun. Our proof is based on certain combinatorial identities and congruences for some alternating harmonic sums. Combining the above congruence with two congruences by Z.H. Sun, we show that $${q_p}{(2)^3} \equiv - 3\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {\frac{{{2^k}}}{{{k^3}}}} + \frac{7}{{16}}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{(p - 1)/2} {\frac{1}{{{k^3}}}} (\bmod p)$$ , which is just a result established by K. Dilcher and L. Skula. As another application, we obtain a congruence for the sum $\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{p - 1} {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\left( {k^2 \cdot 2^k } \right)}}} \right. \kern-0em} {\left( {k^2 \cdot 2^k } \right)}}}$ modulo p ² that also generalizes a related Sun’s congruence modulo p.     

A logarithmically improved regularity criterion for the Navier–Stokes equations

In this note we prove a logarithmically improved regularity criterion in terms of the Besov space norm for the Navier–Stokes equations. The result shows that if a mild solution u satisfies ${\int_{0}^{T}\frac{\|u (t,\cdot)\|_{{\dot{B}}_{\infty,\infty}^{-r}}^{\frac{2}{1-r}}}{1+\ln(e+\| u(t,\cdot)\|_{H^{s}})}\text{d}t < \infty}$ for some 0?≤ r?<?1 and ${s\geq\frac{n}{2}-1}$ , then u is regular at t?=?T.
