Two-Parametric Compound Binomial Approximations

We consider two-parametric compound binomial approximation of the generalized Poisson binomial distribution. We show that the accuracy of approximation essentially depends on the symmetry or shifting of distributions and construct asymptotic expansions. For the proofs, we combine the properties of norms with the results for convolutions of symmetric and shifted distributions. In the lattice case, we use the characteristic function method. In the case of almost binomial approximation, we apply Steins method.__________Published in Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 443–466, October–December, 2004.     

Approximate fixed point sequences and convergence theorems for Lipschitz pseudocontractive maps

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Banach space and be a Lipschitz pseudocontractive self-map of with . An iterative sequence is constructed for which as . If, in addition, is assumed to be bounded, this conclusion still holds without the requirement that Moreover, if, in addition, has a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm and is such that every closed bounded convex subset of has the fixed point property for nonexpansive self-mappings, then the sequence converges strongly to a fixed point of . Our iteration method is of independent interest.

     

Ideals in a perfect closure, linear growth of primary decompositions, and tight closure

This paper is concerned with tight closure in a commutative Noetherian ring of prime characteristic , and is motivated by an argument of K. E. Smith and I. Swanson that shows that, if the sequence of Frobenius powers of a proper ideal of has linear growth of primary decompositions, then tight closure (of ) `commutes with localization at the powers of a single element'. It is shown in this paper that, provided has a weak test element, linear growth of primary decompositions for other sequences of ideals of that approximate, in a certain sense, the sequence of Frobenius powers of would not only be just as good in this context, but, in the presence of a certain additional finiteness property, would actually imply that tight closure (of ) commutes with localization at an arbitrary multiplicatively closed subset of .

Work of M. Katzman on the localization problem for tight closure raised the question as to whether the union of the associated primes of the tight closures of the Frobenius powers of has only finitely many maximal members. This paper develops, through a careful analysis of the ideal theory of the perfect closure of , strategies for showing that tight closure (of a specified ideal of ) commutes with localization at an arbitrary multiplicatively closed subset of and for showing that the union of the associated primes of the tight closures of the Frobenius powers of is actually a finite set. Several applications of the strategies are presented; in most of them it was already known that tight closure commutes with localization, but the resulting affirmative answers to Katzman's question in the various situations considered are believed to be new.

     

Subspaces of Normed Riesz Spaces

It will be shown that a normed partially ordered vector space is linearly, norm, and order isomorphic to a subspace of a normed Riesz space if and only if its positive cone is closed and its norm p satisfies p(x)p(y) for all x and y with -yxy. A similar characterization of the subspaces of M-normed Riesz spaces is given. With aid of the first characterization, Krein's lemma on directedness of norm dual spaces can be directly derived from the result for normed Riesz spaces. Further properties of the norms ensuing from the characterization theorem are investigated. Also a generalization of the notion of Riesz norm is studied as an analogue of the r-norm from the theory of spaces of operators. Both classes of norms are used to extend results on spaces of operators between normed Riesz spaces to a setting with partially ordered vector spaces. Finally, a partial characterization of the subspaces of Riesz spaces with Riesz seminorms is given.     

Uniform convexity of ψ-direct sums of Banach spaces

Let X and Y be Banach spaces and ψ a continuous convex function on the unit interval [0,1] satisfying certain conditions. Let X⊕_ψY be the direct sum of X and Y equipped with the associated norm with ψ. We show that X⊕_ψY is uniformly convex if and only if X,Y are uniformly convex and ψ is strictly convex. As a corollary we obtain that the ?_p,q-direct sum (not p=q=1 nor ∞), is uniformly convex if and only if X,Y are, where ?_p,q is the Lorentz sequence space. These results extend the well-known fact for the ?_p-sum . Some other examples are also presented.     

Uniqueness of norm on L(G) and C(G) when G is a compact group

Let G be a compact group. If the trivial representation of G is not weakly contained in the left regular representation of G on L₀²(G) and X is either L^p(G) for 1<p?∞ or C(G), then we show that every complete norm |·| on X that makes translations from (X,|·|) into itself continuous is equivalent to ||·||_p or ||·||_∞ respectively. If 1<p?∞ and every left invariant linear functional on L^p(G) is a constant multiple of the Haar integral, then we show that every complete norm |·| on L^p(G) that makes translations from (L^p(G),|·|) into itself continuous and that makes the map t?L_t from G into bounded is equivalent to ||·||_p.     

Operator ideal norms on

Let be a real number such that and its conjugate exponent . We prove that for an operator defined on with values in a Banach space, the image of the unit ball determines whether belongs to any operator ideal and its operator ideal norm. We also show that this result fails to be true in the remaining cases of . Finally we prove that when the result holds in finite dimension, the map which associates to the image of the unit ball the operator ideal norm is continuous with respect to the Hausdorff metric.

     

振型归一化对梁结构柔度曲率损伤指标的影响

结构柔度矩阵需由质量矩阵归一化振型获得,而质量矩阵归一化振型难以直接测得,限制了柔度曲率类损伤指标的应用。为分析振型归一化方法对梁结构柔度曲率类损伤指标的影响,根据梁结构的刚度、弯矩和位移曲率的关系,建立了均布荷载作用下结构损伤前后位移曲率与损伤程度的理论表达式,实现定量分析均匀荷载面曲率结构损伤程度。提出P-范数振型归一化方法,通过均匀荷载面曲率指标推导了振型质量矩阵归一化系数差x_α与损伤程度的关系。以三跨连续梁算例对理论进行了验证,结果表明,损伤程度定量指标效果良好,不同P-范数振型归一化方法下,损伤程度的偏差可由2x_α估算;2-范数振型归一化方法的损伤识别结果与质量矩阵振型归一化结果最接近,故当无法获得质量矩阵归一化振型时,可采用2-范数归一化振型代替。     

ON THE GENERALIZATIONS OF KALANDIA＇S LEMMA

Based on Bernstein＇s Theorem, Kalandia＇s Lemma describes the error estimate and the smoothness of the remainder under the second part of Hoelder norm when a HSlder function is approximated by its best polynomial approximation. In this paper, Kalandia＇s Lemma is generalized to the cases that the best polynomial is replaced by one of its four kinds of Chebyshev polynomial expansions, the error estimates of the remainder are given out under Hoeder norm or the weighted HSlder norms.
