Extensions and selections in subspaces ofC(K)

LetK be a compact Hausdorff space and letFK be a peak interpolation set for a function algebraAC(K). Let be a map fromK to the family of all convex subsets of such that the set {(z, x)zK, x(z)} is open inK×C and such thatg(z)(z) (zK) for somegA. We prove that everyfC(F) satisfyingf(s)(s) (sF) (f(s)closure (s) (sF)) admits an extensionfAA} satisfyingf(z)(z) (zK) (f(z))}closure (z) (zK), respectively). We prove a more general theorem of this kind and present various applications which generalize known dominated interpolation theorems for subspaces ofC(K).     

Classification of pairs of subspaces in scalar product spaces

Up to the classification of Hermitian forms a classification has been given of triplesP=(V_F; U₁, U₂), consisting of a finite dimensional vector space V over a field of characteristic 2 with a symmetric, or a skew-symmetric, or Hermitian form F and two subspaces U₁, U₂. Two triplesP andP are identified with each other if there exists an isometry V_f V_f such that (U_i)=U_i, i=1, 2.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 4, pp. 549–554, April, 1990.     

Stability of unconditional convergence almost everywhere

We will investigate the properties of series of functions which are unconditionally convergent almost everywhere on [0, 1]. We will establish the following theorem: If the series _k=1 f _k(x) converges unconditionally almost everywhere, then there exists a sequence {_k} ₁ ,_k , such that if _{k k} , k=1, 2,..., the series _{k=1 k}/k(x) converges unconditionally almost every-where.Translated from Mate matte heskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 5, pp. 645–654, November, 1973.The author wishes to thank Professor P.

On feasible sets defined through Chebyshev approximation

LetZ be a compact set of the real space with at leastn + 2 points;f,h1,h2:Z continuous functions,h1,h2 strictly positive andP(x,z),x(x ₀,...,x _n ) ⁿ⁺¹,z , a polynomial of degree at mostn. Consider a feasible setM {x ⁿ⁺¹z Z, –h ₂(z) P(x, z)–f(z)h ₁(z)}. Here it is proved the null vector 0 of ⁿ⁺¹ belongs to the compact convex hull of the gradients ± (1,z,...,z ⁿ ), wherez Z are the index points in which the constraint functions are active for a givenx* M, if and only ifM is a singleton.This work was partially supported by CONACYT-MEXICO.     

Regularity,partial regularity,partial information process,for a filtered statistical model

Summary We define partial regularity for a filtered statistical (semi-parametric) model indexed by ^d , as differentiability in a suitable sense of the partial likelihoods associated with a basic processX. Partial regularity turns out to be equivalent to some sort of differentiability in of the characteristics ofX. We also prove that regularity of the model implies partial regularity, and we define a partial information process, which is smaller than the complete information process. We apply these results to obtain a generalization of Cramer-Rao inequality, and to prove that partial likelihood processes are optimal among all quasi-likelihood processes which are stochastic integrals with respect to the basic processX.     

On Interpolation of the Fourier Maximal Operator in Orlicz Spaces

Let and be positive increasing convex functions defined on [0, ). Suppose satisfies the 2-condition, that is, (t)2 (C1t) for sufficiently large t, and has some nice properties. If -1(u)log(u+1) C2-1(u) for sufficiently large uthen we have S*(f) L CfL for all f L ([-, ])where S*(f) is the majorant function of partial sums of trigonometric Fourier series and fL is the Orlicz norm of f. This result is sharp.     

Minimization of the Conformal Radius under Circular Cutting of a Domain

Let D be a simply connected domain on the complex plane such that 0 D. For r > 0 , let D _r be the connected component of D {z : |z| < r} containing the origin. For fixed r, we solve the problem on minimization of the conformal radius R(D _r, 0) among all domains D with given conformal radius R(D, 0). This also leads to the solution of the problem on maximization of the logarithmic capacity of the local -extension E (a) of E among all continua E with given logarithmic capacity. Here, E (a) = E {z : |z – a| }, a E, > 0. Bibliography: 12 titles.

Real Milnor Fibrations and (C)-Regularity

In this paper we study Milnor fibrations associated to real isolated singularities defined by map-germs f: (^m,0)(²,0). The main result relates the existence of the Milnor fibration with the (C)-regularity of the family of hypersurfaces with isolated singularity obtained by projecting f into the family L_– of all lines through the origin in the plane ².

Asymptotics of a Boundary Crossing Probability of a Brownian Bridge with General Trend

Let us consider a signal-plus-noise model h(z)+B ₀(z), z [0,1], where > 0, h: [0,1] , and B ₀ is a Brownian bridge. We establish the asymptotics for the boundary crossing probability of the weighted signal-plus-noise model for , that is P (sup _{z [0,1]} w(z)( h(z)+B ₀(z))>c), for , (1) where w: [0,1] [0, is a weight function and c>0 is arbitrary. By the large deviation principle one gets a result with a constant which is the solution of a minimizing problem. In this paper we show an asymptotic expansion that is stronger than large deviation. As byproduct of our result we obtain the solution of the minimizing problem occurring in the large deviation expression. It is worth mentioning that the probability considered in (1) appears as power of the weighted Kolmogorov test applied to the test problem H ₀: h 0 against the alternative K: h>0 in the signal-plus-noise model.     

Numerical application of Euler's series transformation and its generalizations

Summary A nonlinear generalizationÊ _z of Euler's series transformation is compared with the (linear) Euler-Knopp transformationE _z and a twoparametric methodE . It is shown how to applyE orE _, to compute the valuef(z_o) of a functionf from the power series at 0 iff is holomorphic in a half plane or in the cut plane. BothE andE _, are superior toÊ _z . A compact recursive algorithm is given for computingE andE _,.     

A general minimax theorem

This paper is concerned with minimax theorems for two-person zero-sum games (X, Y, f) with payofff and as main result the minimax equality inf supf (x, y)=sup inff (x, y) is obtained under a new condition onf. This condition is based on the concept of averaging functions, i.e. real-valued functions defined on some subset of the plane with min {x, y}< (x, y)x, y} forx y and (x, x)=x. After establishing some simple facts on averaging functions, we prove a minimax theorem for payoffsf with the following property: Forf there exist averaging functions and such that for any x₁, x₂ X, > 0 there exists x₀ X withf (x₀, y) > f (x₁,y),f (x₂,y))– for ally Y, and for any y₁, y₂ Y, > 0 there exists y₀ Y withf (x, y₀) (f (x, y₁),f (x, y₂))+. This result contains as a special case the Fan-König result for concave-convex-like payoffs in a general version, when we take linear averaging with (x, y)=x+(1–)y, (x, y)=x+(1–)y, 0 <, < 1.Then a class of hide-and-seek games is introduced, and we derive conditions for applying the minimax result of this paper.

Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit werden Minimaxsätze für Zwei-Personen-Nullsummenspiele (X, Y,f) mit Auszahlungsfunktionf behandelt, und als Hauptresultat wird die Gültigkeit der Minimaxgleichung inf supf (x, y)=sup inff (x, y) unter einer neuen Bedingung an f nachgewiesen. Diese Bedingung basiert auf dem Konzept mittelnder Funktionen, d.h. reellwertiger Funktionen, welche auf einer Teilmenge der Ebene definiert sind und dort der Eigenschaft min {x, y} < < (x, y)x, y} fürx y, (x, x)=x, genügen. Nach der Herleitung einiger einfacher Aussagen über mittelnde Funktionen beweisen wir einen Minimaxsatz für Auszahlungsfunktionenf mit folgender Eigenschaft: Zuf existieren mittelnde Funktionen und, so daß zu beliebigen x₁, x₂ X, > 0 mindestens ein x₀ X existiert mitf (x₀,y) (f (x ₁,y),f (x₂,y)) – für alley Y und zu beliebigen y₁, y₂ Y, > 0 mindestens ein y₀ Y existiert mitf (x, y₀) (f (x, y₁),f (x, y ₂))+ für allex X. Dieses Resultat enthält als Spezialfall den Fan-König'schen Minimaxsatz für konkav-konvev-ähnliche Auszahlungsfunktionen in einer allgemeinen Version, wenn wir lineare Mittelung mit (x, y)=x+(1–)y, (x, y)= x+(1–)y, 0 <, < 1, betrachten.Es wird eine Klasse von Suchspielen eingeführt, welche mit dem vorstehenden Resultat behandelt werden können.

     

Translations and Associated Dirichlet Polyhedra in Complex Hyperbolic Space

We study a nonidentity transvection (i.e. (strictly) hyperbolic isometry) or nonidentity Heisenberg translation f of complex hyperbolic space H ⁿ and a Dirichlet polyhedron P of the cyclic group f. We have four main results: (a) If z & in H ⁿ and the axis of a nonidentity transvection are not complex collinear, then, roughly speaking, any two distinct 'naturally arising' geodesics passing through z are not complex collinear. (b) If g is also a transvection or Heisenberg translation of H ⁿ and z & in H ⁿ such that f(z)=g(z) and f ^–1(z)=g ^–1(z), then f=g. (c) We classify all this kind of polyhedra up to congruence in H ⁿ. (d) We obtain an equivalent condition for P to be cospinal (which means that the complex spines of the two sides of P coincide) in terms of the distance of the spines of the two sides of P.     

Angular limits of holomorphic functions which satisfy an integrability condition

Let (–1,1), let 2/(1–)p<, letp denote the Hölder conjugate ofp, and let be an open arc of the unit circle. It is shown that, iff is a holomorphic function on the unit disc such that: (i) (1–|z|)log⁺|f(z)| isL ^p -integrable on the sector {r:0f has an infinite asymptotic value has -finite (2–(1+)p)-dimensional Hausdorff, measure, thenf has finite angular limits on a subset of of positive linear measure. In fact, a stronger conclusion will be established.     

The associativity equation revisited

Summary Consideration of the Associativity Equation,x (y z) = (x y) z, in the case where:I × I I (I a real interval) is continuous and satisfies a cancellation property on both sides, provides a complete characterization of real continuous cancellation semigroups, namely that they are topologically order-isomorphic to addition on some real interval: ( – ,b), ( – ,b], –, +), (a, + ), or [a, + ) — whereb = 0 or –1 anda = 0 or 1. The original proof, however, involves some awkward handling of cases and has defied streamlining for some time. A new proof is given following a simpler approach, devised by Páles and fine-tuned by Craigen.     

Asymptotics of the Discrete Spectrum of the Three-Particle Schrödinger Difference Operator on a Lattice

We consider the Hamiltonian H (K) of a system consisting of three bosons that interact through attractive pair contact potentials on a three-dimensional integer lattice. We obtain an asymptotic value for the number N(K,z) of eigenvalues of the operator H₀(K) lying below z0 with respect to the total quasimomentum K0 and the spectral parameter z–0.     

Isomorphismen von rechtseiträumen

Spaces called rectangular spaces were introduced in [5] as incidence spaces (P,G) whose set of linesG is equipped with an equivalence relation and whose set of point pairs P² is equipped with a congruence relation , such that a number of compatibility conditions are satisfied. In this paper we consider isomorphisms, automorphisms, and motions on the rectangular spaces treated in [5]. By an isomorphism of two rectangular spaces (P,G, , ) and (P,G, , ) we mean a bijection of the point setP onto P which maps parallel lines onto parallel lines and congruent points onto congruent points. In the following, we consider only rectangular spaces of characteristic 2 or of dimension two. According to [5] these spaces can be embedded into euclidean spaces. In case (P,G, , ) is a finite dimensional rectangular space, then every congruence preserving bijection ofP onto P is in fact an isomorphism from (P,G, , ) onto (P,G, , ) (see (2.4)). We then concern ourselves with the extension of isomorphisms. Our most important result is the theorem which states that any isomorphism of two rectangular spaces can be uniquely extended to an isomorphism of the associated euclidean spaces (see (3.2)). As a consequence the automorphisms of a rectangular space (P,G, , ) are precisely the restrictions (onP) of the automorphisms of the associated euclidean space which fixP as a whole (see (3.3)). Finally we consider the motions of a rectangular space (P,G, , ). By a motion of(P. G,, ) we mean a bijection ofP which maps lines onto lines, preserves parallelism and satisfies the condition((x), (y)) (x,y) for allx, y P. We show that every motion of a rectangular space can be extended to a motion of the associated euclidean space (see (4.2)). Thus the motions of a rectangular space (P,G, , ) are seen to be the restrictions of the motions of the associated euclidean space which mapP into itself (see (4.3)). This yields an explicit representation of the motions of any rectangular plane (see (4.4)).
