Affine frames, quasi-affine frames, and their duals

The notion of quasi-affine frame was recently introduced by Ron and Shen [9] in order to achieve shift-invariance of the discrete wavelet transform. In this paper, we establish a duality-preservation theorem for quasi-affine frames. Furthermore, the preservation of frame bounds when changing an affine frame to a quasi-affine frame is shown to hold without the decay assumptions in [9]. Our consideration leads naturally to the study of certain sesquilinear operators which are defined by two affine systems. The translation-invariance of such operators is characterized in terms of certain intrinsic properties of the two affine systems. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Minimal ellipsoids and their duals

It is proved that “most” convex bodies in IE ^d touch the boundaries of their minimal circumscribed and their maximal inscribed ellipsoids in preciselyd(d+3)/2 points. A version of the former result shows that for “most” compact sets in IE ^d the corresponding optimal designs, i.e. probability measures with a certain extremal property, are concentrated ond(d+1)/2 points.     

Orlicz-Hardy spaces and their duals

We establish the theory of Orlicz-Hardy spaces generated by a wide class of functions.The class will be wider than the class of all the N-functions.In particular,we consider the non-smooth atomic decomposition.The relation between Orlicz-Hardy spaces and their duals is also studied.As an application,duality of Hardy spaces with variable exponents is revisited.This work is different from earlier works about Orlicz-Hardy spaces H(Rn)in that the class of admissible functions is largely widened.We can deal with,for example,(r)≡(rp1(log(e+1/r))q1,0r 6 1,rp2(log(e+r))q2,r1,with p1,p2∈(0,∞)and q1,q2∈(.∞,∞),where we shall establish the boundedness of the Riesz transforms on H(Rn).In particular,is neither convex nor concave when 0p11p2∞,0p21p1∞or p1=p2=1 and q1,q20.If(r)≡r(log(e+r))q,then H(Rn)=H(logH)q(Rn).We shall also establish the boundedness of the fractional integral operators I of order∈(0,∞).For example,I is shown to be bounded from H(logH)1./n(Rn)to Ln/(n.)(log L)(Rn)for 0n.     

Quantum commutative algebras and their duals

If an algebraA is quantum commutative with respect to the action of a quasitriangular Hopf algebraH, then the monoidal structure on the category_H ^ℳ of modules overH induces a rnonoidal structure on the category_A#H ^ℳ of modules over the associated smash productA # H. The condition under which the braiding structure of_H ^ℳ induces a braiding structure on_A#H ^ℳ is further investigated. Dually, the notion of quantum cocommutativity is introduced, and similar result in this dual situation is obtained.     

Geometric secret sharing schemes and their duals

Given a set of participants we wish to distribute information relating to a secret in such a way that only specified groups of participants can reconstruct the secret. We consider here a special class of such schemes that can be described in terms of finite geometries as first proposed by Simmons. We formalize the Simmons model and show that given a geometric scheme for a particular access structure it is possible to find another geometric scheme whose access structure is the dual of the original scheme, and which has the same average and worst-case information rates as the original scheme. In particular this shows that if an ideal geometric scheme exists then an ideal geometric scheme exists for the dual access structure.This work was supported by the Science and Engineering Research Council Grant GR/G 03359.This work was supported by the Australian Research Council.     

Harmonic morphisms from the Grassmannians and their non-compact duals

In this paper we give a unified framework for the construction of complex valued harmonic morphisms from the real, complex and quaternionic Grassmannians and their non-compact duals. This gives a positive answer to the corresponding open existence problem in the real and quaternionic cases.

Bi-Sobolev mappings and elliptic equations in the plane

Suppose that f=(u,v) is a homeomorphism in the plane of the Sobolev class such that its inverse is of the same Sobolev class. We prove that u and v have the same set of critical points. As an application we show that u and v are distributional solutions to the same non-trivial degenerate elliptic equation in divergence form. We study similar properties also in higher dimensions.     

Schwarz problem for first-order elliptic systems on the plane

We consider the Schwarz problem for J-analytic functions for the case in which the Jordan basis Q of the matrix J contains complex conjugate vectors. Conditions on the matrix Q are obtained under which there exists a unique solution of the Schwarz problem in Hölder classes.     

Topologies of some new sequence spaces, their duals, and the graphical representations of neighborhoods

Many interesting topologies arise in the theory of FK spaces. Here we present some new results on the topologies of certain FK spaces and the determinations of their dual spaces. We also apply our software package for visualization and animations in mathematics and its extensions to the representation of neighborhoods in various topologies.

On cardinal wavelets with compact support and their duals

Some people try to construct an orthonormal wavelet such that the corresponding scaling function φ(t) has the cardinal property,i.e. ϕ(n)= σn0, since such wavelets have many good applications. Unfortunately it is impossible to do so, except for a trivial case^[1]. In this work, a family of non-orthogonal cardinal wavelets with compact support is constructed and their duals are investigated. This work is supported by the project of new stars of Beijing     

On discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and their duals

A special case of the big q-Jacobi polynomials Pn(x;a,b,c;q), which corresponds to a=b=−c, is shown to satisfy a discrete orthogonality relation for imaginary values of the parameter a (outside of its commonly known domain 0<a<q⁻¹). Since Pn(x;qα,qα,−qα;q) tend to Gegenbauer (or ultraspherical) polynomials in the limit as q→1, this family represents another q-extension of these classical polynomials, different from the continuous q-ultraspherical polynomials of Rogers. For a dual family with respect to the polynomials Pn(x;a,a,−a;q) (i.e., for dual discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials) we also find new orthogonality relations with extremal measures.     

On the BAP in Fréchet Schwartz spaces and their duals

We give a new proof of a result of Benndorf about the convergence conditions one can obtain for sequences of operators defining the BAP (resp. FDD) in Fréchet Schwartz spaces. We also obtain an even stronger result for DF co-Schwartz spaces, dualizing in this way Benndorf's result.
