On the optimality of a characterization theorem for the gamma function using the multiplication formula

Summary The following Artin type characterization of : _{+ +} is proved: Assume thatf: _{+ +} satisfies the Gauss multiplication formula for some fixedp 2,f is absolutely continuous on [l/p, 1 + ] for some > 0 and lim _{x 0} xf(x) = 1. Thenf(x) = (x) forx > 0.The optimality of this result is checked by means of counterexamples. For instance, it is shown that the result is no longer true, if f is absolutely continuous is replaced by f is continuous and of finite variation.

Sensitivity analysis of the greatest eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix via the ɛ-subdifferential of the associated convex quadratic form

LetA(·) be ann × n symmetric affine matrix-valued function of a parameteruR ^m , and let (u) be the greatest eigenvalue ofA(u). Recently, there has been interest in calculating (u), the subdifferential of atu, which is useful for both the construction of efficient algorithms for the minimization of (u) and the sensitivity analysis of (u), namely, the perturbation theory of (u). In this paper, more generally, we investigate the Legendre-Fenchel conjugate function of (·) and the -subdifferential (u) of atu. Then, we discuss relations between the set (u) and some perturbation bounds for (u).The author is deeply indebted to Professor J. B. Hiriart-Urruty who suggested this study and provided helpful advice and constant encouragement. The author also thanks the referees and the editors for their substantial help in the improvement of this paper.

K1 of Twisted Rings of Polynomials

We prove that for an arbitrary endomorphism of a ring R the group K1(R[t]) splits into the direct sum of K1(R) and Ñil (r;). Moreover, for any such R and Ñil (R; ) is isomorphic to Ñil (R ; ) for some ring R with : R R – an isomorphism.     

New sufficient convergence conditions for the secant method

We provide new sufficient conditions for the convergence of the secant method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space. Our new idea uses Lipschitz-type and center-Lipschitz-type instead of just Lipschitz-type conditions on the divided difference of the operator involved. It turns out that this way our error bounds are more precise than the earlier ones and under our convergence hypotheses we can cover cases where the earlier conditions are violated.

Finitely Valued f-Modules, An Addendum

In an -group M with an appropriate operator set it is shown that the -value set (M) can be embedded in the value set (M). This embedding is an isomorphism if and only if each convex -subgroup is an -subgroup. If (M) has a.c.c. and M is either representable or finitely valued, then the two value sets are identical. More generally, these results hold for two related operator sets ₁ and ₂ and the corresponding -value sets and . If R is a unital -ring, then each unital -module over R is an f-module and has exactly when R is an f-ring in which 1 is a strong order unit.

Quasianapole Interaction of Charged Fermions

We obtain the analytic expression for the total cross section of the reaction e ^– e ⁺l ^– l ⁺ (l=,) taking possible quasianapole interaction effects into account. We find numerical restrictions on the interaction parameter value from data for the reaction e ^– e ^+–+ in the energy domain below the Z ⁰ peak.     

Lower central series and derived series of net subgroups of the general linear group

Over a commutative ring R with invertible element 2 and with radical , nets (i.e., tables =(_ij) of ideals _ij such that _{irrj ij}) such that _ii are considered. Such nets are called pseudoradical. The groups of the lower central series and the derived series are explicitly constructed for the corresponding net subgroups G () (of the general linear group GL (n,R)) in terms of .Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Vektorwertige Distributionen als Randverteilungen holomorpher Funktionen

This paper is concerned with the problem, for which locally convex spaces E every E-valued distribution on is representable by the boundary values of an E-valued holomorphic function on /, resp. for which spaces is solvable in C(²,E). This is known in the case of (F)-spaces. A complete solution is given in the case of (DF)-spaces. The class of (DF)-spaces, we obtain, turns out to be interesting in a much wider context. This will be contained in a forthcoming paper.
