Asymptotics and weighted estimates of meixner polynomials orthogonal on the gird {0, δ, 2δ, ...}

Suppose that 0<δ≤1,N=1/δ, and α, ga≥0, is an integer. For the classical Meixner polynomials orthonormal on the gird {0, δ, 2δ, ...} with weight ρ(x)=(1-e ^−δ)^αг(Nx+α+ 1)/г(Nx+1), the following asymptotic formula is obtained: . The remainderv _n,N ^α (z) forn≤λN satisfies the estimate

On a class of nonlinear problems involving a p(x)-Laplace type operator

We study the boundary value problem in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝ ^N . Our attention is focused on two cases when , where m(x) = max{p ₁(x), p ₂(x)} for any x ∈ or m(x) < q(x) < N · m(x)/(N − m(x)) for any x ∈ . In the former case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any λ > 0. In the latter we prove that if λ is large enough then there exists a nontrivial weak solution. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces, combined with a ℤ₂-symmetric version for even functionals of the Mountain Pass Theorem and some adequate variational methods.     

Rauzy tilings and bounded remainder sets on the torus

For the two-dimensional torus , we construct the Rauzy tilings d⁰ ⊃ d¹ ⊃ … ⊃ d^m ⊃ …, where each tiling d^m+1 is obtained by subdividing the tiles of d^m. The following results are proved. Any tiling d^m is invariant with respect to the torus shift S(x) = x+ mod ℤ², where ζ⁻¹ > 1 is the Pisot number satisfying the equation x³− x²−x-¹ = 0. The induced map is an exchange transformation of B^md ⊂ , where d = d⁰ and . The map S^(m) is a shift of the torus , which is affinely isomorphic to the original shift S. This means that the tilings d^m are infinitely differentiable. If Z_N(X) denotes the number of points in the orbit S¹(0), S²(0), …, S^N(0) belonging to the domain B^md, then, for all m, the remainder r_N(B^md) = Z_N(B^md) − N ζ^m satisfies the bounds −1.7 < r_N(B^md) < 0.5.

Concentration and influences

Consider the discrete cube Ω={0,1} ^N , provided with the uniform probabilityP. We denote byd(x, A) the Hamming distance of a pointx of Ω and a subsetA of Ω. We define the influenceI(A) of theith coordinate onA as follows. Forx in Ω, consider the pointT _i (x) obtained by changing the value of theith coordinate. Then We prove that we always have Since it is easy to see that , this recovers the well known fact that ∫_Ω d(x, A)dP(x) is at most of order whenP(A)≥1/2. The new information is that ∫_Ω d(x, A)dP(x) can be of order only ifA reassembles the Hamming ball {x; ∑_1≤N x _i ≥N/2}.     

On the word problem and the conjugacy problem for groups of the formF/V(R)

LetF be a free group with at most countable system of free generators, letR be its normal subgroup recursively enumerable with respect to , and let be a variety of groups that differs from and for which the corresponding verbal subgroupV of the free group of countable rank is recursive. It is proved that the word problem inF/V(R) is solvable if and only if this problem is solvable inF/R, and if , then there exists anR such, that the conjugacy problem inF/R is solvable, but this problem is unsolvable inF/V(R) for any Abelian variety (all algorithmic problems are regarded with respect to the images of under the corresponding natural epimorphisms).

Fourier and Hermite series estimates of regression functions

Summary In the paper we estimate a regressionm(x)=E {Y|X=x} from a sequence of independent observations (X ₁,Y ₁),…, (X _n, Y_n) of a pair (X, Y) of random variables. We examine an estimate of a type , whereN depends onn andϕ _N is Dirichlet kernel and the kernel associated with the hermite series. Assuming, that E|Y|<∞ and |Y|≦γ≦∞, we give condition for to converge tom(x) at almost allx, provided thatX has a density. if the regression hass derivatives, then converges tom(x) as rapidly asO(nC^{−(2s−1)/4s}) in probability andO(n ^{−(2s−1)/4s} logn) almost completely.

On the numerical construction of an attractor for the Navier-Stokes system

In this paper the problem of the numerical approximation of the minimal global B-attractor for a semiflow generated by the Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional bounded domain Ω is considered. The method suggested here is based on the formula , where G^N is a sequence of compact subsets of L₂(Ω), . The procedure of constructing G^N is finite and includes the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations by means of the Galerkin method, together with an explicit finite-difference discretization in time.

Let and be algebras of local and quasilocal observable spin systems corresponding to the group Zr, be a differentiation invariant with respect to displacements. The question of representation of D in the form of formal Hamiltonian formed by the displacements of an elementx ε is considered. It is shown that such a representation exists if the condition holds, where means an element obtained from the elements [T_kX,a] by some r-multiple process of summation.

The Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for the heat equation in Besov spaces

The solvability in anisotropic spaces , σ ∈ ℝ₊, p, q ∈ (1, ∞), of the heat equation u_t − Δu = f in Ω^T ≡ (0, T) × Ω is studied under the boundary and initial conditions u = g on S^T, u|_t=0 = u₀ in Ω, where S is the boundary of a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ. The existence of a unique solution of the above problem is proved under the assumptions that and under some additional conditions on the data. The existence is proved by the technique of regularizers. For this purpose the local-in-space solvability near the boundary and near an interior point of Ω is needed. To show the local-in-space existence, the definition of Besov spaces by the dyadic decomposition of a partition of unity is used. This enables us to get an appropriate estimate in a new and promising way without applying either the potential technique or the resolvent estimates or the interpolation. Bibliography: 26 titles.
