Positive Solutions for a Singular Nonlinear Problem on a Bounded Domain in R 2

For a bounded regular Jordan domain in R ², we introduce and study a new class of functions K() related on its Green function G. We exploit the properties of this class to prove the existence and the uniqueness of a positive solution for the singular nonlinear elliptic equation u+(x,u)=0, in D(), with u=0 on and uC(), where is a nonnegative Borel measurable function in ×(0,) that belongs to a convex cone which contains, in particular, all functions (x,t)=q(x)t ^–,>0 with nonnegative functions qK(). Some estimates on the solution are also given.     

A quantitative refinement of Rado's theorem

The fundamental result of the paper is the following. Theorem: Let be a k-quasiconformal Jordan curve and let be another Jordan curve (not necessarily quasiconformal). Assume that f maps conformallyext ontoext , f()=, f()>0. We assume that there exists a homeomorphism between and such that Then there exist numbers =(k)>0 and A=A(k), such that f(())– A, .Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Complete problems withL-samplable distributions

The average case complexity classes P, L-samplable and NL, L-samplable are defined. We show that Deterministic Bounded Halting is complete for P, L-samplable and that Graph Reachability is complete for NL-samplable, both problems with a universal logspace samplable distribution.     

Moser-type inequalities in Lorentz spaces

Moser-type estimates for functions whose gradient is in the Lorentz space L(n, q), 1q, are given. Similar results are obtained for solutions uH _inf0 ^sup1 of Au=(f _i ) _{x i} , where A is a linear elliptic second order differential operator and |f|L(n, q), 2q.Work partially supported by MURST (40%).

Linear cyclic codes of wordlength v over GF(q s ) which are also linear cyclic codes of wordlength sv over GF(q)

Any nonsingular linear transformation : GF(q^s) GF(q^s) can be used to treat a linear cyclic code of wordlength v over GF(q^s) as a linear code () of Wordlength sv over GF(q). This paper determines those linear cyclic codes and transformations for which the resulting linear code () is also cyclic.     

A characterization of nonlinear φ-accretive operators

Let E be a Banach space and E(–,] a proper lower semi-continuous convex function. The main purpose of this paper is to characterize those m-accretive operators AE x E that are also -accretive. This is done by using the semigroup S generated by -A, and by first establishing a necessary and sufficient condition for to be a Lyapunov function for S. We also obtain similar results for accretive operators that are not necessarily m-accretive, and deduce invariance and order-preserving criteria for nonlinear semigroups.This research was partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant MCS-8102086.     

Stellare Abänderungen und Schälbarkeit von Komplexen und Polytopen

Brugesser and Mani proved that the boundary-complex of a convex polytope can be shelled. This result lead to McMullen's proof of the Upper-bound-conjecture. We show that the shellability of complexes has a close connection to the theory of stellar operations. Several results on special shelling procedures and on non-shellable complexes are obtained.     

Some inequalities about the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes

Let R(r, m) be the rth order Reed-Muller code of length 2 ^m , and let (r, m) be its covering radius. We prove that if 2 k m - r - 1, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m + 2(k - 1). We also prove that if m - r 4, 2 k m - r - 1, and R(r, m) has a coset with minimal weight (r, m) which does not contain any vector of weight (r, m) + 2, then (r + k, m + k) (r, m) + 2k(. These inequalities improve repeated use of the known result (r + 1, m + 1) (r, m).This work was supported by a grant from the Research Council of Wright State University.

Relative E ‐Theory

The Etheory of A. Connes and N. Higson provides a new realization of Khomology based on the notion of asymptotic morphisms. In this paper we define relative Etheory, associating to a C*algebra A and an ideal I the Abelian groups Enrel(A;I). These groups are related to the Etheory groups of A and I in the familiar way by a long exact sequence and excision isomorphisms. The definition of relative Etheory is motivated by the properties of first order, elliptic differential operators on complete Riemannian manifolds. Applications will be considered in a future publication.     

Local controllability of observables in finite and infinite dimensional nonlinear control systems

LetA, be evolution operators (possibly nonlinear) which act within a Banach spaceB andu(·) a measurable, real valued, control function. We study control systems of the form _t /t=A _t +u(t) _t , ₀= B. An observation of this system is defined to be a continuous linear mapg:B ^k . Our main result gives a computable sufficient condition to assure that fort > 0 and sufficiently small, the observation of the reference solution (which corresponds tou(t)0) at timet is interior to the set of observations of all solutions at timet. An example to illustrate the theory is the local controllability, via tension, of various observations of a vibrating string.This research was supported by NSF Grant MCS 76-04419 A01.

Estimate of the modulus of continuity of the generalized solutions of certain singular parabolic equations

One considers singular parabolic equations of the form (u)/t–u0,where sign u is a multivalued function, equal to -I for u<0, to 1 for u>0, and to the segment [-I,I] for u=0. Such a class of equations contains, in particular, the model for the two-phase Stefan problem, the porous medium equation, and the plasma equation. For the bounded generalized solutions u(x,t) of the indicated equations (without the assumption u/L²one has established a qualified local estimate of the modulus of continuity.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Ins'tituta im.
