TWO-DISTANCE PRESERVING FUNCTIONS FROM EUCLIDEAN SPACE

Let 0 < c < s be fixed real numbers such that , and let f : E² → E ^d for d ≥ 2 be a function such that for every p, q ∈ E ² if |p − q| = c, then |f(p) − f(q)| ≤ c, and if |p − q| = s, then |f(p) − f(q)| ≥ s. Then f is a congruence. This result depends on and expands a result of Rádo et. al. [9], where a similar result holds, but for replacing . We also present a further extensions where E² is replaced by E ⁿ for n > 2 and where the range of c/s is enlarged. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Toeplitz operators related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators

In this paper, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and Lipschitz function b ε (ℝⁿ) is discussed from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), , and from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to Triebel-Lizorkin space . We also obtain the boundedness of generalized Toeplitz operator Θ _α0 ^b from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), . All the above results include the corresponding boundedness of commutators. Moreover, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and BMO function b is discussed on L ^p(ℝⁿ), 1 < p < ∞.     

Spectral estimates of Cauchy's transform inL 2(Ω)

We prove that the singular numbers of the Cauchy transform onL ²(D) are asymptotically , whiles _n (C _| L _a ² (D))1/n (whereL _a ² (D) is the subspace of analytic functions inL ²(D)). Also, the singular numbers of the logarithmic potential onL ²(D) are asympoticallys _n (L)1/n, whiles _n(L _{|L a} ² (D))1/n ². Our methods yield the asymptotic behavior of the singular numbers of the Cauchy Transform fromL _L ² () intoL ²() where and are rotation-invariant measures on .The author was partly supported by a grant from the national Science Foundation.     

Dirichlet Series Associated with Strongly q-Multiplicative Functions

In this work the Dirichlet series associated with real strongly q-multiplicative functions f(n) are studied. We will confine ourselves to the case _i=0 ^q–1 f(i) = 0. It is known that in this case the function _f (s) has an analytic continuation to the whole complex plane as an entire function with trivial zeros on the negative real line. The real function _f (t) satisfying the integral equation with delayed argument for some nonzero real _f naturally appears in the representation of the function _f (s). In this article we find some asymptotic properties of the function _f (s), prove that _f (s) is an entire function of order 2, and also prove that in the region the function _f (s) has only trivial zeros which are simple.

Elliptic Systems with Nonlinearities of Arbitrary Growth

In this paper we study the existence of nontrivial solutions for the following system of coupled semilinear Poisson equations: where is a bounded domain in We assume that and the function f is superlinear and with no growth restriction (for example f(s) = s e^s); then the system has a nontrivial (strong) solution.     

Compact sets in the spaceL p (O,T; B)

Summary A characterization of compact sets in L^p (0, T; B) is given, where 1P and B is a Banach space. For the existence of solutions in nonlinear boundary value problems by the compactness method, the point is to obtain compactness in a space L^p (0,T; B) from estimates with values in some spaces X, Y or B where XBY with compact imbedding XB. Using the present characterization for this kind of situations, sufficient conditions for compactness are given with optimal parameters. As an example, it is proved that if {f_n} is bounded in L^q(0,T; B) and in L _loc ¹ (0, T; X) and if {f_n/t} is bounded in L _loc ¹ (0, T; Y) then {f_n} is relatively compact in L^p(0,T; B), p相似文献

The Exterior Cube L-Function for GL(6)

We construct a Rankin Selberg integral to represent the exterior cube L function L(,³,s) of an automorphic cuspidal module of GL₆( _F ) (where F is a number field). We determine the poles of this L function and find period conditions for the special value L(,³,1/2). We use the Siegal Weil formula. We also state an analogue of the Gross–Prasad conjecture concerning a criterion for the nonvanishing of L(,³,1/2).     

Asymptotic Discontinuity of Smooth Solutions of Nonlinear q-Difference Equations

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the simplest nonlinear q-difference equations having the form x(qt+ 1) = f(x(t)), q> 1, t R ⁺. The study is based on a comparison of these equations with the difference equations x(t+ 1) = f(x(t)), t R ⁺. It is shown that, for not very large q> 1, the solutions of the q-difference equation inherit the asymptotic properties of the solutions of the corresponding difference equation; in particular, we obtain an upper bound for the values of the parameter qfor which smooth bounded solutions that possess the property as T and tend to discontinuous upper-semicontinuous functions in the Hausdorff metric for graphs are typical of the q-difference equation.

We consider the function space B _p ^l () of functionsf(x), defined on the domain of a certain class and characterized by specific differential-difference properties in L_p(). We prove a theorem on the embedding B _p,q ^l () L_q in the case whenl=n/p –n/q >0 and its generalization for vectorl, p, q.Translated from Matematicheski Zametki, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 129–138, August, 1969.

The Lê varieties,I

Summary For a complex polynomial,f:( ⁿ⁺¹ ,0) (, 0), with a singular set of complex, dimensions at the origin, we define a sequence of varieties—the Lê varieties, _f ^(k) , off at 0. The multiplicities of these varieties, _f ^(k) , generalize the Milnor number for an isolated singularity. In particular, we show that ifsn-2, the Milnor, fibre off is obtained fromB ²ⁿ by successively attaching _f ^{(n – k)} k-handles, wheren-skn Ifs=n-1, the Milnor fibre off is obtained from a2n-manifold with the homotopy type of a bouquet of _f ^{(n – 1)} circles by successively attaching _f ^{(n – k)} k-handles, where 2kn.The author is a National Science Foundation, Postdoctoral Research Fellow supported by grant # DMS-8807216     

Unipotent Brauer Character Values of GL(n, \mathbb{F}_q ) and the Forgotten Basis of the Hall Algebra

We give a formula for the values of irreducible unipotent p-modular Brauer characters of at unipotent elements, where p is a prime not dividing q, in terms of (unknown!) weight multiplicities of quantum GL _n and certain generic polynomials S _,(q). These polynomials arise as entries of the transition matrix between the renormalized Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions and the forgotten symmetric functions. We also provide an alternative combinatorial algorithm working in the Hall algebra for computing S _,(q).     

Two variable <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis> functions attached to eigenfamilies of positive slope

Consider a classical cusp eigenform f= _n=1 a _n (f)q ⁿ of weight k2 for ₀(N) with a Dirichlet character mod N, and let L _f (s,)= _n=1 (n)a _n (f)n ^-s denote the L-function of f twisted with an arbitrary Dirichlet character . For a prime number p5, consider a family of cusp eigenforms f _(k) of weight k , k {f _(k)= _n=1 a _n (f _(k))q ⁿ } containing f=f _(k), such that the Fourier coefficients a _n (f _(k)) are given by certain p-adic analytic functions k a _n (f _(k)). The purpose of this paper is to construct a two variable p-adic L function attached to Colemans family {f _(k)} of cusp eigenforms of a fixed positive slope =v _p ( _p )>0 where _p = _p (k ) is an eigenvalue (which depends on k ) of the Atkin operator U=U _p . Our p-adic L-function interpolates the special values L _f(k)(s,) at points (s,k ) with s=1,2,...,k -1. We give a construction using the Rankin-Selberg method and the theory of p-adic integration on a profinite group Y with values in an affinoid K-algebra A, where K is a fixed finite extension of Q _p . Our p-adic L-functions are p-adic Mellin transforms of certain A-valued measures. In their turn, such measures come from Eisenstein distributions with values in certain Banach A-modules M =M (N;A) of families of overconvergent forms over A.

Quadratic spline interpolation on uniform meshes

The interpolation problem at uniform mesh points of a quadratic splines(x _i)=f _i,i=0, 1,...,N ands(x ₀)=f₀ is considered. It is known that s–f=O(h ³) and s–f=O(h ²), whereh is the step size, and that these orders cannot be improved. Contrary to recently published results we prove that superconvergence cannot occur for any particular point independent off other than mesh points wheres=f by assumption. Best error bounds for some compound formulae approximatingf _i andf _i ⁽³⁾ are also derived.     

On improved regularity of weak solutions of some degenerate,Anisotropic elliptic systems

Summary We consider a (possibly) vector-valued function u: R^N, Rⁿ, minimizing the integral , 2-2/(n*1)<p<2, whereD _i u=u/x _i or some more general functional retaining the same behaviour, we prove higher integrability for Du: D₁ u,..., D_n–1 u L^p/(p-1) and D_nu L²; this result allows us to get existence of second weak derivatives: D(D₁ u),...,D(D_n–1u)L² and D(D_n u) L _p.This work has been supported by MURST and GNAFA-CNR.     

On the monotonicity of sequences of quadrature formulae

Summary LetI(f)L(f)= _k=0 ^r ₌₀ ^vk–1 a _k f ⁽⁾(X _k ) be a quadrature formula, and let {S _n (f)} _n=1 be successive approximations of the definite integralI(f)= ₀ ¹ f(x)dx obtained by the composition ofL, i.e.,S _n(f)=L( _n ), where .We prove sufficient conditions for monotonicity of the sequence {S _n (f)} _n=1 . As particular cases the monotonicity of well-known Newton-Cotes and Gauss quadratures is shown. Finally, a recovery theorem based on the monotonicity results is presented
