Memory estimation of inverse operators

We use methods of harmonic analysis and group representation theory to estimate the memory decay of the inverse operators in Banach spaces. The memory of the operators is defined using the notion of the Beurling spectrum. We obtain a general continuous non-commutative version of the celebrated Wiener's Tauberian Lemma with estimates of the “Fourier coefficients” of inverse operators. In particular, we generalize various estimates of the elements of the inverse matrices. The results are illustrated with a variety of examples including integral and integro-differential operators.

ON CRITICAL SINGULAR QUASILINEAR ELLIPTIC PROBLEM WHEN n = p

This article deals with the problem where n = p. The authors prove that a Hardy inequality and the constant (p/p-1)p is optimal. They also prove the existence of a nontrivial solution of the above mentioned problem by using the Mountain Pass Lemma.     

Automorphisms of Maps with a Given Underlying Graph and Their Application to Enumeration

A graph is called a semi-regular graph if its automorphism group action on its ordered pair of adjacent vertices is semi-regular. In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for an automorphism of the graph F to be an automorphism of a map with the underlying graph F is obtained. Using this result, all orientation-preserving automorphisms of maps on surfaces (orientable and non-orientable) or just orientable surfaces with a given underlying semi-regular graph F are determined. Formulas for the numbers of non-equivalent embeddings of this kind of graphs on surfaces (orientable, non-orientable or both) are established, and especially, the non-equivalent embeddings of circulant graphs of a prime order on orientable, non-orientable and general surfaces are enumerated.     

On 4-manifolds homotopy equivalent to surface bundles over surfaces

We show that a closed 4-manifold is homotopy equivalent to the total space of a surface bundle over a surface if the obviously necessary conditions on the fundamental group and Euler characteristic hold. When the base is the 2-sphere we need also conditions on the characteristic classes of the manifold. (Our results are incomplete when the base is the projective plane.) In most cases we can show the manifold is s-cobordant to the total space of the bundle.

A Note on the Radical of a Module Category

We characterize the finiteness of the representation type of an artin algebra in terms of the behavior of the projective covers and the injective envelopes of the simple modules with respect to the infinite radical of the module category. In case the algebra is representation-finite, we show that the nilpotency of the radical of the module category is the maximal depth of the composites of these maps, which is independent from the maximal length of the indecomposable modules.     

Boundary value problems of second order nonlinear functional difference equations

By using the critical point theory, some sufficient conditions for the existence and multiplicity of the boundary value problems to a class of second order functional difference equations are obtained.
