On the boundedness of Weyl sums

Leta be irrational and letf:[0,1] be Riemann-integrable with integral zero. Letf _n (x) denote the Weyl sumf _n (x):= _k=0 ^n–1 f({x k>}),x/[0,1[,n. We prove criteria for the boundedness of the sequence (f _n ) _n1 and discuss the relation of this question to irregularities of the distribution of sequences.     

Die Verteilung der schlichten Funktionen in einem Funktionenraum

We consider the set of regular functions . We construct a Borel measure and a class of outer measures _h onH. With these and _h we show that: (HS)=0 and _h (HS)=0, (S is the set of normed univalent functions). From _h (HS)=0 follows—forh=t —that the Hausdorff—Billingsley-dimension ofHS is zero.     

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   

Graphs of Constant Mean Curvature in Hyperbolic Space

We study the problem of finding constant mean curvature graphsover a domain of a totally geodesic hyperplane andan equidistant hypersurface Q of hyperbolic space. We findthe existence of graphs of constant mean curvature H overmean convex domains Q and with boundary for –H < H |h|, where H > 0 is the mean curvature of the boundary . Here h is the mean curvature respectively of the geodesic hyperplane (h= 0) and of the equidistant hypersurface (0 < |h|< 1). The lower bound on H is optimal.

Homogenization of a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Problem in a Thick Periodic Junction of the Type 3:2:1

We prove a convergence theorem and obtain asymptotic (as 0) estimates for a solution of a parabolic initial boundary-value problem in a junction that consists of a domain ₀ and a large number N ² of -periodically located thin cylinders whose thickness is of order = O(N ^–1).     

Factorization intok-dimensional linear bijections

LetV be a vector space,k withkdimV andS _k{GL(V)|dimV(–1)=k}. ThenS _k generates GL _f (V){GL(V)|V(-1) is finite-dimensional} (with the exception that dimV=2=k and the field is GF2). We study the length problem in GL _f (V) withS _k as set of generators.     

Infinitesimal obstructions to weakly mixing

Let ^t be the flow (parametrized with respect to arc length) of a smooth unit vector field v on a closed Riemannian manifold M ⁿ , whose orbits are geodesics. Then the (n-1)-plane field normal to v, v, is invariant under d ^t and, for each x M, we define a smooth real function _x (t) : (1 + _i (t)), where the _i(t) are the eigenvalues of AA ^T, A being the matrix (with respect to orthonormal bases) of the non-singular linear map d^2t , restricted to v at the point _x ^-t M ⁿ.Among other things, we prove the Theorem (Theorem II, below). Assume v is also volume preserving and that _x ^' (t) 0 for all x M and real t; then, if _x ^t : M M is weakly missng for some t, it is necessary that vx 0 at all x M.

Let a convex bodyAE ⁿ be covered bys smaller homothetic copies with coefficients ₁, ..., _s , respectively. It is conjectured that ₁ + ...+ _s n. This conjecture is confirmed in two cases:n is arbitrary ands=n+1;s is arbitrary andn=2.     

Numerical studies of the Möbius power series

We define the Möbius power series throughf(z)= _n-1 z ⁿ ,g(z)= _n=1 (n)z ⁿ /n where (n) is the usual Möbius function. This paper presents some heuristic estimates describing the behavior off(z) andg(z) when |z| is close to 1 together with representations in terms of elementary functions for real values ofz. Function tables are also given together with zeros and a few other special values.     

Algebraic polynomial bases of space LP

Let (_n) be a system, close to the orthonormal complete system (x _n). An estimate is obtained for the deviation of the system {f_n}, obtained from {_n} by Schmidt's method, from the system {x_n}. This estimate is used to show that, in any L_P(–1,1), withp (1,4/3] [4,), and for any >e¦4 = i,13..., there exists an orthogonal algebraic system (P _n (x)) _n=0 , forming a basis in L_P and such that _n = degP _n (x) n for n>n_o(p,).Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 223–230, February, 1978.     

Estimates of Entire Functions of Exponential Type Less than π in Terms of Logarithmic Sums over Real Duffin and Schaeffer Sequences

We give uniform estimates of entire functions of exponential type less than having sufficiently small logarithmic sums over real sequences { _n } satisfying | _n –n|L and _n+1– _n for fixed positive constants L and . We thereby generalize results about logarithmic sums over the set of integers and so-called relatively h-dense sequences.     

An isolation theorem for decomposable forms of purely real algebraic fields of degree n⩾3

Let M be a complete module of a purely algebraic field of degree n3, let be the lattice of this module and let F(X) be its form. By we denote any lattice for which we have = , where is a nondiagonal matrix satisfying the condition ¦-I¦ , I being the identity matrix. The complete collection of such lattices will be denoted by {}. To each lattice we associate in a natural manner the decomposable form F(X). The complete collection of forms, corresponding to the set {}, will be denoted by {F} It is shown that for any given arbitrarily small interval (N–, N+), one can select an such that for each F(X) from {F} there exists an integral vector X₀ such that N– < F(X₀) < N+.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Asymptotic Density and the Asymptotics of Partition Functions

Let A be a set of positive integers with gcd (A) = 1, and let p _A (n) be the partition function of A. Let c ₀ = 2/3. If A has lower asymptotic density and upper asymptotic density , then lim inf log p _A (n)/c ₀ n and lim sup log p _A (n)/c ₀ n . In particular, if A has asymptotic density > 0, then log p _A (n) c₀n. Conversely, if > 0 and log p _A (n) c ₀ n, then the set A has asymptotic density .     

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.

Quasiconvex uniform-convergence factors for Fourier series of functions with a given modulus of continuity

It is proved that a quasiconvex sequence _v of convergence factors transforms Fourier series of functions whose moduli of continuity do not exceed a given modulus of continuity(gd) into uniformly convergent series if and only if _n (1/n) log n 0 for n . The sufficiency of this condition is already known.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 8, No. 5,pp. 619–623, November, 1970.     

An n-Dimensional Hahn-Banach Extension Theorem and Minimal Projections

Let T~=_i=1 ⁿ _irv_i:V V=[v₁,. . . .,v_n] X, where _i V* and X is a Banach space. Let T= _i=1 ⁿu_iv_i: X V be an extension of T~ to all of X (i.e., u_i X*) such that T has minimal (operator) norm. (E.g., if T~=I, T is a minimal projection from X onto V.) Then it is necessary and sufficient that u:=u_1,. . . ,u_n is given by (v:=v₁,. . . ,v_n)ext_v(u) Vⁿ,where the notion of a v-extremal (ext_v) of u is properly defined.The condition above leads in many important cases to a simple geometric interpretation of minimal projections. Furthermore, by applying this formula to the case X=L^p, we obtain a linear n-dimensional analog of the Hölder equality condition (M is given by ext_v(u)=Mv)1/p u · Mv = 1/q u · Mv,wherever v is differentiable.We point out several applications, including the determination of the absolute projection constant of _n ^p      

Random Logistic Maps II. The Critical Case

Let (X _n ) ₀ be a Markov chain with state space S=[0,1] generated by the iteration of i.i.d. random logistic maps, i.e., X _n+1=C _n+1 X _n (1–X _n ),n0, where (C _n ) ₁ are i.i.d. random variables with values in [0, 4] and independent of X ₀. In the critical case, i.e., when E(log C ₁)=0, Athreya and Dai⁽²⁾ have shown that X _n ^P 0. In this paper it is shown that if P(C ₁=1)<1 and E(log C ₁)=0 then(i) X _n does not go to zero with probability one (w.p.1) and in fact, there exists a 0<<1 and a countable set (0,1) such that for all xA(0,1), P _x (X _n for infinitely many n1)=1, where P _x stands for the probability distribution of (X _n ) ₀ with X ₀=x w.p.1. A is a closed set for (X _n ) ₀.(ii) If is the supremum of the support of the distribution of C ₁, then for all xA (a)

Estimates of the tail of the stationary density function of certain nonlinear autoregressive processes

We consider the Markov chainX _n+1=T(X _n )+ _n , where { _n ;n1} is a ^d -valued random sequence of independent identically distributed random variables, and the functionT: ^{d d} is measurable and satisfies a suitable growth condition. Under certain conditions involvingT and the probability distribution of _n , we show that this Markov chain is ergodic. Moreover, we obtain sharp upper bounds for the tail of the corresponding stationary probability density function. In our proofs, we make use of the Leray-Schauder fixed-point theorem.
