Large deviations for empirical measures of Markov chains

In this paper we obtain large-deviation upper and lower bounds for the empirical measure of a Markov chain with general state space, as well as for the associated multivariate empirical measure and empirical process. In each of these instances we improve in various ways the results in the literature.     

A Note on π-Engel Conditions

In this paper we show that the weakly -Engel conditions are closely related to the existance of normal -complements; while the -Engel conditions are closely related to the -nilpotent groups.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 20D20     

From Pappus’ Theorem to the Twisted Cubic

We discuss a classical result in planar projective geometry known as Steiners theorem involving 12 interlocking applications of Pappus theorem. We prove this result using three dimensional projective geometry then uncover the dynamics of this construction and relate them to the geometry of the twisted cubic.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000).

General Fractional Opial Type Inequalities

A large variety of Lp(p 0) form very general Opial type inequalities arepresented engaging different order generalized fractional derivatives of a function. These arebased on a generalization of Taylors formula for generalized fractional derivatives. In the finalresults of this work, a monotonicity property of the involved function/highest-order generalizedfractional derivative is used.     

On the Operator Semirings of a Γ-Semiring

In this paper we introduce the notion of operator semirings of a -semiring to study -semirings. It is shown that the lattices of all left (right) ideals (two-sided ideals) of a -semiring and its right (respectively left) operator semiring are isomorphic. This has many applications to characterize various -semirings.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 16Y60, 16Y99     

Infinite independent systems of the identities of the associative algebra over an infinite field of characteristic <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> > 0

In this paper some infinitely based varieties of groups are constructed and these results are transferred to the associative algebras (or Lie algebras) over an infinite field of an arbitrary positive characteristic.

Separation and Epimorphisms in Quasi-Uniform Spaces

We study some categorical aspects of quasi-uniform spaces (mainly separation and epimorphisms) via closure operators in the sense of Dikranjan, Giuli, and Tholen. In order to exploit better the corresponding properties known for topological spaces we describe the behaviour of closure operators under the lifting along the forgetful functor T from quasi-uniform spaces to topological spaces. By means of appropriate closure operators we compute the epimorphisms of many categories of quasi-uniform spaces defined by means of separation axioms and study the preservation (reflection) of epimorphisms under the functor T.

We give higher-power generalizations of the classical Lerch formula for the gamma function.     

Explicit Formulas for Green’s Functions on the Annulus and on the Möbius Strip

Given a fixed point free antianalytic involution k of a domain G in thecomplex plane, bounded by a finite number of analytic curves, k-invariant Greensfunctions are defined on G. The Lindelöfs principle is extended to k-invariantGreens functions. When G is the annulus, k-invariant Greens functions areobtained in the explicit form. Since the factorization of the annulus by the group kgenerated by k produces a Möbius strip, the respective result helped us to obtain explicitforms for Greens functions on the Möbius strip.

The Existence of Silnikov＇s Orbit in Four-dimensional Duffing＇s Systems

The existence of Silnikov‘s orbits in a four-dimensional dynamical system is discussed. The existence of Silnikov‘s orbit resulting in chaotic dynamics is established by the fiber structure of invariant manifold and high-dimensional Melnikov method. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.     

Iterative solution of the secular equation

The secular equation with real symmetric positive definite n × n matrix is transformed into a system of n ² quadratic equations for which it is possible to construct a convergent procedure realizing an iterative solution. An example of the numerical realization of the method for solving the problem of determining the electronic energy spectrum is given.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 2, 2005, pp. 303–310.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by L.

Position and Height of the Global Maximum of a Twice Differentiable Stochastic Process

For a stochastic process with absolutely continuous sample path derivative, a formula for the joint density of (T, Z), the position and height of the global maximum of in a closed interval, is given. The formula is derived using the generalized Rices formula. The presented result can be applied both to stationary and non-stationary processes under mild assumptions on the process. The formula for the density is explicit but involves integrals that have to be computed using numerical integration. The computation of the density is discussed and some numerical examples are given.     

On θ-Principal Extension and H-Closedness

A type of extensions called the -extention of topological spaces and their -equivalence and -trace systems are introduced, which ultimately characterize H-closed -extensions of a Hausdorff topological space. Also, the notion of -principal extensions is defined. A typical -principal extension consisting of certain grills on a Hausdorff space is constructed, and finally, some characterizations of H-closedness of a Hausdorff space are obtained.AMS Subject Classification (2000) 54D30 54D99
