Approximation of convex bodies by simplices

This paper deals with the following kind of approximation of a convex bodyQ in Euclidean space E ⁿ by simplices: which is the smallest positive numberh _S(Q) such thatS ₁ Q S ₂ for a simplexS ₁ and its homothetic copyS ₂ of ratioh _S(Q). It is shown that ifS ₀ is a simplex of maximal volume contained inQ, then a homothetic copy ofS ₀ of ratio 13/3 containsQ.     

The complexity of a class of infinite graphs

IfG _k is the family of countable graphs with nok vertex (or edge) disjoint circuits (1<k<) then there is a countableG _k G _k such that every member ofG _k is an (induced) subgraph of some member ofG _k , but no finiteG _k suffices.     

A constructive method for uniform approximation by means of integrated Lagrange interpolation polynomials in the spaceC 1[a,b]

Пусть интерполяционные уз лыa <x ₁ <x ₂ < ... <х _n <b являются корнямиn-го полинома системы полиномов {w _n(x)} _n ^∞ =1, ортогонально й с весомρ(х), 0 < ρ(х) ∈L[a, b], причем 1/ρ(x) ∈L[a, b]. Доказано, что еслиf(х) ∈С ¹ [a, b], то проинтегрированн ые полиномы $$Q_n (x) = \smallint _a^x L_{n - 1} (f',t)dt + f(a)$$ интерполяционных по линомов Лагранжа $$L_{n - 1} (f,x) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {f'(x_k )\frac{{\omega _n (x)}}{{\omega '_n (x_k )(x - x_k )}}}$$ порядкаn?1 функцииf′(x) сходятся равномерно к функцииf(х) в замкнуто м интервале [а,b].

Filtering on manifolds

We coasider a partially observable diffusion process (x _t,y_t)t0 whose unobservable componentx _t lives on a submanifold M ofR ⁿ . We present some general conditions under which the conditional law ofx _t, given the observationsy _s ,s [0,t], admits a density w.r.t. a given measure on M. We characterize the analytical properties of this density by using appropriate Sobolev spaces.Research supported by the Hungarian National Foundation of Scientific Research No. 2290.     

Fractal dimension,attractors, and the boussinesq approximation in three dimensions

The Boussinesq approximation, where the viscosity depends polynomially on the shear rate, finds more and more frequent use in geological practice. In the paper, this modified Boussinesq approximation is investigated as a dynamical system for which the existence of a global attractor is proved. Finally, a new criterion for estimating the fractal dimension of invariant sets is formulated and its application to the problem under consideration is illustrated.     

On approximation by bivariate incomplete polynomials

In this paper we prove that given certain convex domains Δ on the plane, ε>0, andf∈C(Δ) such thatf=0 on θ²Δ={(θ² x,θ² y):(x,y)?Δ} (0<θ<1), a polynomialp(x, y) of the form $$p(x,y) = \sum\limits_{\theta n \leqslant k + l \leqslant n} {a_{kl} x^k y^l }$$ exists such that ∥f?p∥ _C(Δ) ≤ε. The admissible convex domains include triangles and parallelograms with a vertex at the origin and sections of unit disk.     

Finely holomorphic functions and quasi-analytic classes

We study the set of functions in quasi-analytic classes and the set of finely holomorphic functions. We show that no one of these two sets is contained in the other.LetI denote the set of complex functionsf: for which there exists a quasi-analytic classC{M _n} containingf. Let denote the set of complex functionsf: for which there exist a fine domainU containing the real line and a function finely holomorphic onU satisfyingf(x)= (x) for allx . The power of unique continuation is incomparable in these two cases (I\ is non-empty, \I is non-empty).Research supported by the grant No. 201/93/2174 of Czech Grant Agency and by the grant No. 354 of Charles University.     

Energy-level statistics of model quantum systems: Universality and scaling in a lattice-point problem

We investigate the statistics of the numberN(R, S) of lattice pointsnZ ², in an annular domain (R, w)=(R+w)A\RA, whereR, w>0. HereA is a fixed convex set with smooth boundary andw is chosen so that the area of (R, w) isS. The statistics comes fromR being taken as random (with a smooth density) in some interval [c ₁ T,c ₂,T],c ₂>c ₁>0. We find that in the limitT the variance and distribution of N=N(R; S)–S depend strongly on howS grows withT. There is a saturation regimeS/T, asT, in which the fluctuations in N coming from the two boundaries of are independent. Then there is a scaling regime,S/Tz, 0<z<, in which the distribution depends onz in an almost periodic way going to a Gaussian asz0. The variance in this limit approachesz for genericA, but can be larger for degenerate cases. The former behavior is what one would expect from the Poisson limit of a distribution for annuli of finite area.     

Difference posets,effects, and quantum measurements

Difference posets as generalizations of quantum logics, orthoalgebras, and effects are studied. Observables and measures generalizing normalized POV-measures and generalized measures on sets of effects are introduced. Characterization of orthomodularity of subsets of a difference poset in terms of triangle closedness and regularity of these subsets enables us to characterize observables with a Boolean range. Boolean powers of difference posets are investigated; they have similar properties to that of tensor products, and their connection with quantum measurements is studied.
