OnC 2-diffeomorphisms of the circle which are of type III1

For every irrational number [0, 1) which is not of constant type we construct aC ²-diffeomorphism of the circle with rotation number which is of type III₁. This diffeomorphism can be chosen arbitrarily close to the rotationR . Our methods also allow us to construct, for every Liouville number [0, 1), aC -diffeomorphism of the circle with rotation number which is of type III₁.     

Remarks on ergodicity of stationary irreducible transient Markov chains

Summary Consider a stationary process {X _n(), – < n < . If the measure of the process is finite (the measure of the whole sample space finite), it is well known that ergodicity of the process {X _n(), - < n < and of each of the subprocesses {X _n(), 0 n < , {X _n(), – < n 0 are equivalent (see [3]). We shall show that this is generally not true for stationary processes with a sigma-finite measure, specifically for stationary irreducible transient Markov chains. An example of a stationary irreducible transient Markov chain {X _n(), - < n <} with {itX_n(), 0 n < < ergodic but {X _n(), < n 0 nonergodic is given. That this can be the case has already been implicitly indicated in the literature [4]. Another example of a stationary irreducible transient Markov chain with both {X _n(), 0 n < and {itX _n(),-< < n 0} ergodic but {X _n(), - < n < nonergodic is presented. In fact, it is shown that all stationary irreducible transient Markov chains {X _n(), - < n < < are nonergodic.This research was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research.John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow.     

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%).     

The convergence rates of empirical Bayes estimation in a multiple linear regression model

Empirical Bayes (EB) estimation of the parameter vector =(,²) in a multiple linear regression modelY=X+ is considered, where is the vector of regression coefficient, N(0,² I) and ² is unknown. In this paper, we have constructed the EB estimators of by using the kernel estimation of multivariate density function and its partial derivatives. Under suitable conditions it is shown that the convergence rates of the EB estimators areO(n ^{-(k-1)(k-2)/k(2k+p+1)}), where the natural numberk3, 1/3<<1, andp is the dimension of vector .The project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

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.     

A Characterization of Some Minihypers and its Application to Linear Codes

Any {f,r- 2+s; r,q}-minihyper includes a hyperplane in PG(r, q) if fr-1 + s 1 + q – 1 for 1 s q – 1, q 3, r 4, where i = (qi + 1 – 1)/ (q – 1 ). A lower bound on f for which an {f, r – 2 + 1; r, q}-minihyper with q 3, r 4 exists is also given. As an application to coding theory, we show the nonexistence of [ n, k, n + 1 – qk – 2 ]q codes for k 5, q 3 for qk – 1 – 2q – 1 < n qk – 1 – q – 1 when k > q – q - \sqrt q + 2$$ " align="middle" border="0"> and for when , which is a generalization of [18, Them. 2.4].

Problem of instability in the first approximation

Let E be a Banach space, A be a continuous linear operator such that (A) ; Re>0 Ø, and F(t, x) be a continuous function on [0, )×E satisfying the condition F(t, x) q x (q= const). An example of a system dx/dt=Ax + F(t, x) is given which has an exponentially stable zero solution for certain F(t, x) with arbitrarily small q.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 23, No. 5, pp. 721–723, May, 1978.

Properties of Solutions to Second Order Evolution Control Systems. II

We continue the research of the first part of the article. We mainly study codensity for the set of admissible trajectory-control pairs of a system with nonconvex constraints in the set of admissible trajectory-control pairs of the system with convexified constraints. We state necessary and sufficient conditions for the set of admissible trajectory-control pairs of a system with nonconvex constraints to be closed in the corresponding function spaces. Using an example of a control hyperbolic system, we give an interpretation of the abstract results obtained. As application we consider the minimization problem for an integral functional on solutions of a control system.     

Positivity and Stability for One-Sided Coupled Operator Matrices

Many evolutionary systems can be described by an abstract Cauchy problem governed by an operator matrix. Assuming this problem to be one-sided coupled and well-posed we study in this paper the positivity and the stability of the associated matrix semigroup. The abstract results are illustrated by several examples.     

Partially ordered permutation groups

In this note we discuss permutation groups (G, ) in which the set admits aG-invariant order. By aG-invariant partial order (G-partial order) we mean a partial order < of such that < implies g<g, for all and in andg inG. If the set admits aG-partial order which is a total order, then (G, ) is an O-permutation group (orderable permutation group).The main concern of this paper is the development of a foundation for partially ordered permutation groups analogous to the existing one for partially ordered groups, as found in Fuchs [2].     

New Hadamard matrices and conference matrices obtained via Mathon's construction

We give a formulation, via (1, –1) matrices, of Mathon's construction for conference matrices and derive a new family of conference matrices of order 59^2t+1 + 1,t 0. This family produces a new conference matrix of order 3646 and a new Hadamard matrix of order 7292. In addition we construct new families of Hadamard matrices of orders 69^2t+1 + 2, 109^2t+1 + 2, 8499 ^t ,t 0;q ²(q + 3) + 2 whereq 3 (mod 4) is a prime power and 1/2(q + 5) is the order of a skew-Hadamard matrix); (q + 1)q ²9 ^t ,t 0 (whereq 7 (mod 8) is a prime power and 1/2(q + 1) is the order of an Hadamard matrix). We also give new constructions for Hadamard matrices of order 49 ^t 0 and (q + 1)q ² (whereq 3 (mod 4) is a prime power).This work was supported by grants from ARGS and ACRB.Dedicated to the memory of our esteemed friend Ernst Straus.

Topological transitivity of cylindrical cascades

The existence is proved of a topologically transitive (t.t.) homeomorphism U of the space W = × Z of the formU (, z)=(T,, z+f ()) ( , z Z), where is a complete separable metric space, T is a t.t. homeomorphism of onto itself, Z is a separable banach space, andf is a continuous map: z. For the special case W = S¹×R, T=+ ( is incommensurable with 2) the existence is proved of t.t. homeomorphisms (1) of two types: 1) with zero measure of the set of transitive points, 2) with zero measure of the set of intransitive points. An example is presented of a continuous functionf: S¹R for which the corresponding homeomorphism (1) is t.t. for all incommensurable with 2.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 3, pp. 441–452, September, 1973.The author thanks D.

Nonlinear instability of superposed magnetic fluids in the presence of an oblique magnetic field

The nonlinear evolution of interfacial waves separating two magnetic fluids subjected to an oblique magnetic field is studied in two dimensions, with the use of the method of multiple scales. It is shown that the evolution of the envelope is governed by two partial differential equations. These equations can be combined to yield two alternate Schrödinger equations with cubic nonlinearity; one of them leads to the determination of the cutoff wave number separating stable from unstable deformations while the other Schrödinger equation is used to analyze the stability of the system. The stability of the system is discussed both theoretically and computationally, and the stability diagrams are obtained. It is found in the linear theory that the oblique magnetic field has a stabilizing influence if 0 ₁ + ₂ < /2, or 3/2 < ₁ + ₂ 2 and a destabilizing influence if /2 < ₁ + ₂ < 3/2, where 0 _j , (j=1, 2) and , is the angle between the field and the horizontal axis.In the nonlinear theory, the stability analysis reveals that there exist different regions of stability and instability. It is reported that the oblique magnetic field plays a dual role in the stability criterion and the angles ₁ and ₂ play a distinctive role in this analysis besides the effect of the variation of the magnetic permeabilities.
