Linear Approximation and Reproduction of Polynomials by Wilson Bases

Wilson bases are constituted by trigonometric functions multiplied by translates of a window function with good time frequency localization. In this article we investigate the approximation of functions from Sobolev spaces by partial sums of the Wilson basis expansion. In particular, we show that the approximation can be improved if polynomials are reproduced. We give examples of Wilson bases, which reproduce linear functions with the lowest-frequency term only.     

Wilson spaces and homological algebra for coalgebraic modules

In an earlier work, Wilson spaces were used to compute certain CTor Hopf algebras. In this Note we show how one can replace a resolution by infinite loop spaces associated to the Brown–Peterson spectrum with a resolution by Wilson spaces.

Riesz bounds of Wilson bases generated byB-splines

In this paper, we are concerned with biorthogonal Wilson bases having B-splines as well as powers of sinc functions as window functions. We prove properties of B-splines and exponential Euler splines and use these properties to estimate the Riesz bounds of the Wilson bases.     

Multiple Wilson and Jacobi–Piñeiro polynomials

We introduce multiple Wilson polynomials, which give a new example of multiple orthogonal polynomials (Hermite–Padé polynomials) of type II. These polynomials can be written as a Jacobi–Piñeiro transform, which is a generalization of the Jacobi transform for Wilson polynomials, found by Koornwinder. Here we need to introduce Jacobi and Jacobi–Piñeiro polynomials with complex parameters. Some explicit formulas are provided for both Jacobi–Piñeiro and multiple Wilson polynomials, one of them in terms of Kampé de Fériet series. Finally, we look at some limiting relations and construct a part of a multiple AT-Askey table.     

Issues with the Smith–Wilson method

We analyse various features of the Smith–Wilson method used for discounting under the EU regulation Solvency II, with special attention to hedging. In particular, we show that all key rate duration hedges of liabilities beyond the Last Liquid Point will be peculiar. Moreover, we show that there is a connection between the occurrence of negative discount factors and singularities in the convergence criterion used to calibrate the model. The main tool used for analysing hedges is a novel stochastic representation of the Smith–Wilson method.     

Homogenization of a Wilson–Cowan model for neural fields

Homogenization of Wilson–Cowan type of nonlocal neural field models is investigated. Motivated by the presence of a convolution term in this type of models, we first prove some general convergence results related to convolution sequences. We then apply these results to the homogenization problem of the Wilson–Cowan-type model in a general deterministic setting. Key ingredients in this study are the notion of algebras with mean value and the related concept of sigma-convergence.     

Associated Wilson polynomials

From a contiguous relation obtained by Wilson for terminating 2-balanced very well-poised₉ F ₈ hypergeometric functions of unit argument, we derive a pair of three term recurrence relations for very well-poised₇ F ₆'s. From these we obtain solutions to the recurrence relation for associated Wilson polynomials and spectral properties of the corresponding Jacobi matrix. A calculation of the basic weight function yields a generalization of Dougall's theorem.Communicated by Mourad Ismail.     

An Expansion Formula for the Askey–Wilson Function

The Askey–Wilson function transform is a q-analogue of the Jacobi function transform with kernel given by an explicit non-polynomial eigenfunction of the Askey–Wilson second order q-difference operator. The kernel is called the Askey–Wilson function. In this paper an explicit expansion formula for the Askey–Wilson function in terms of Askey–Wilson polynomials is proven. With this expansion formula at hand, the image under the Askey–Wilson function transform of an Askey–Wilson polynomial multiplied by an analogue of the Gaussian is computed explicitly. As a special case of these formulas a q-analogue (in one variable) of the Macdonald–Mehta integral is obtained, for which also two alternative, direct proofs are presented.     

Renormalization group method and Julia sets

The renormalization group (RG) method has been used successfully in treating a variety of phase change and critical-point problems (Wilson KG, Kogut J. Phys Rev C 1974;12:75; Wilson KG. Rev Mod Phys 1975;773; Wilson KG. Phys Rev B 1971;3174). A relatively simple system is considered at the smallest scale; the problem is then renormalized in order to utilize the same system at next larger scale. The process is repeated at larger and larger scales. In the following we consider a model for the flow of a fluid through a porous-medium. The RG transformations for the flow of a fluid through a porous-medium in two and three dimensions are derived and generalized to the complex plane, and the types of the corresponding Julia sets are found and generated. Also, the RG transformation for Ising model on a square lattice is derived and the corresponding Julia set is found.     

On compact engel groups

In 1992, Wilson and Zelmanov proved that a profinite Engel group is locally nilpotent. Here we prove the stronger result that every compact Engel group is locally nilpotent.     

A -analogue of the 9- symbols and their orthogonality

We introduce a q-analogue of Wigner’s 9-j symbols following the notational scheme used by Wilson in identifying the 6-j symbols with Racah polynomials, which eventually led Askey and Wilson to obtain a q-analogue of them, namely, the q-Racah polynomials. Most importantly, we prove the orthogonality of our analogues in complete generality, as well as derive an explicit polynomial expression for these new functions.     

Asymptotic expansion of the one-loop approximation of the Chern–Simons integral in an abstract Wiener space setting

In an abstract Wiener space setting, we construct a rigorous mathematical model of the one-loop approximation of the perturbative Chern–Simons integral, and derive its explicit asymptotic expansion for stochastic Wilson lines.     

On minimal strongly KC-spaces

In this article we introduce the notion of strongly KC-spaces, that is, those spaces in which countably compact subsets are closed. We find they have good properties. We prove that a space (X, τ) is maximal countably compact if and only if it is minimal strongly KC, and apply this result to study some properties of minimal strongly KC-spaces, some of which are not possessed by minimal KC-spaces. We also give a positive answer to a question proposed by O.T. Alas and R.G. Wilson, who asked whether every countably compact KC-space of cardinality less than c has the FDS-property. Using this we obtain a characterization of Katítov strongly KC-spaces and finally, we generalize one result of Alas and Wilson on Katìtov-KC spaces.

Surface holonomy for non-abelian 2-bundles via double groupoids

In the context of non-abelian gerbes, we define a cubical version of categorical group 2-bundles with connection over a smooth manifold. We address their two-dimensional parallel transport, study its properties, and construct non-abelian Wilson surface functionals.     

A new proof of the Askey–Wilson integral via a five-variable Ramanujan’s reciprocity theorem

In this paper, we give an easy and short proof of the well-known Askey–Wilson integral by means of the five-variable Ramanujan’s reciprocity theorem.     

Two new heuristics for the location set covering problem

Summary In this paper we present two new greedy-type heuristics for solving the location set covering problem. We compare our new pair of algorithms with the pair GH1 and GH2 [Vasko and Wilson (1986)] and show that they perform better for a selected set of test problems.     

Wilson Function Transforms Related to Racah Coefficients

The irreducible -representations of the Lie algebra consist of discrete series representations, principal unitary series and complementary series. We calculate Racah coefficients for tensor product representations that consist of at least two discrete series representations. We use the explicit expressions for the Clebsch–Gordan coefficients as hypergeometric functions to find explicit expressions for the Racah coefficients. The Racah coefficients are Wilson polynomials and Wilson functions. This leads to natural interpretations of the Wilson function transforms. As an application several sum and integral identities are obtained involving Wilson polynomials and Wilson functions. We also compute Racah coefficients for , which turn out to be Askey–Wilson functions and Askey–Wilson polynomials.This research was done during my stay at the Department of Mathematics at Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborg University in Sweden, supported by a NWO-TALENT stipendium of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
