Detecting Mass Points of Representing Measures

We discuss a possibility of deciding whether measures representing a moment sequence or realizing orthogonality of polynomials have atoms. This is done on the real line and in several variables.     

The p-Blocks of the Mackey Algebra

Let p be a prime number. This paper describes the primitive idempotents and prime spectrum of the crossed Burnside algebra of a finite group over a p-local ring. The main application is a formula for the block idempotents of the p-local Mackey algebra of the group, in terms of the corresponding bloks of the group algebra.

On Pathwise Uniqueness of Stochastic Differential Equations Without Drift

We consider the stochastic differential equation: dX _t =(|X _t |)dB _t , where B is a Brownian motion and is a non-Hölder Borel function. A sufficient condition of pathwise uniqueness is given.     

Measure of Ordering in Statistical Systems

In this paper, we introduce a phenomenological measure of ordering in statistical systems. Using this characteristic, we construct a formal model of a system evolving according to the law of steepest ascent as the control parameter increases.     

跳跃非线性项依赖于导数的二阶微分方程周期解的存在性

本文研究二阶微分方程χ"+aχ+-bχ-+f(χ)g(χ'=p(t)周期解的存在性,这里χ+=max{χ,0},χ-=max{-χ,0},a,6是正常数并且点(a,b)位于某一条Fucik谱曲线上.当g(χ)的极限lim.g(χ)=g(+∞),lim g(χ)=g(-∞)和f(χ)的极限lim,g(χ)=f(+∞),lim f(χ)=f(-∞)都存在且有限时,给出了此方程存在周期解的充分条件.     

KERNEL ESTIMATION OF HIGHER DERIVATIVES OF DENSITY AND HAZARD RATE FUNCTION FOR TRUNCATED AND CENSORED DEPENDENT DATA

Based on left truncated and right censored dependent data, the estimators of higher derivatives of density function and hazard rate function are given by kernel smoothing method. When observed data exhibit α-mixing dependence, local properties including strong consistency and law of iterated logarithm are presented. Moreover, when the mode estimator is defined as the random variable that maximizes the kernel density estimator, the asymptotic normality of the mode estimator is established.     

A NOTE OF THE SPECTRUM OF HOMOGENEOUS COMPACT OPERATORS

In this paper, we present some counterexamples which show that there is no theory on the spectrum of homogeneous compact operators which parallels the Riesz-Schauder theory on the spectrum of linear compact operators. These counterexamples also illustrate that it is impossible to study in a unified setting the Fucik spectrum of the Laplacian: -△w = au+ - bu- inΩand u = 0 on (?)Ω, as well as the spectrum of the p-Laplacian: -div(|(?)u| p-2(?)u) = λ|u|p-2u and u = 0 on (?)Ω.     

Upper and lower bounds for the fixed spectrum frequency assignment problem

A survey of the results described in the authors PhD thesis (Montemanni 2001) is presented. The thesis, which was supervised by Prof. Derek H. Smith and Dr. Stuart M. Allen, has been defended in January 2002 at the University of Glamorgan (U.K.). The thesis proposes new heuristic algorithms, based on well-known meta-heuristic paradigms, and new lower bounding techniques, based on linear programming, for the fixed spectrum frequency assignment problem.Received: May 2003, Revised: May 2003, AMS classification: 90C27, 90C59,05C90, 90C05Roberto Montemanni: Present address: Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sullIntelligenza Artificiale (IDSIA), Galleria 2, 6928 Manno-Lugano, Switzerland (e-mail: roberto@idsia.ch)
