Trace formula on the p-adic upper half-plane

This article aims at showing a p-adic analogue of Selberg's trace formula, which describes a duality between the spectrum of a Hilbert-Schmidt operator and the length of prime geodesics appearing in the p-adic upper half-plane associated with a hyperbolic discontinuous subgroup of . Then we construct Markov processes on the fundamental domain relative to such subgroups, to whose transition operators the trace formula applied and a p-adic analogue of prime geodesic theorem is proved.     

Local behaviour of polynomials

In this paper we study the local behaviour of a trigonometric polynomial around any of its zeros in terms of its estimated values at an adequate number of freely chosen points in . The freedom in the choice of sample points makes our results particularly convenient for numerical calculations. Analogous results for polynomials of the form are also proved.

Classes of Quasi-nearly Subharmonic Functions

It is well known and important that if u ≥ 0 is subharmonic on a domain Ω in ℝ ⁿ and p > 0, then there is a constant C(n,p) ≥ 1 such that for each open ball B(x,r) ⊂ Ω. The definition of a relatively new function class, quasi-nearly subharmonic functions, is based on such a generalized mean value inequality. It is pointed out that the obtained function class is natural. It has important and interesting properties and, at the same time, it is large: In addition to nonnegative subharmonic functions, it includes, among others, Hervé’s nearly subharmonic functions, functions satisfying certain natural growth conditions, especially certain eigenfunctions, polyharmonic functions and generalizations of convex functions. Further, some of the basic properties of quasi-nearly subharmonic functions are stated in a unified form. Moreover, a characterization of quasi-nearly subharmonic functions with the aid of the quasihyperbolic metric and two weighted boundary limit results are given.      

Space-Time Point-Process Models for Earthquake Occurrences

Several space-time statistical models are constructed based on both classical empirical studies of clustering and some more speculative hypotheses. Then we discuss the discrimination between models incorporating contrasting assumptions concerning the form of the space-time clusters. We also examine further practical extensions of the model to situations where the background seismicity is spatially non-homogeneous, and the clusters are non-isotropic. The goodness-of-fit of the models, as measured by AIC values, is discussed for two high quality data sets, in different tectonic regions. AIC also allows the details of the clustering structure in space to be clarified. A simulation algorithm for the models is provided, and used to confirm the numerical accuracy of the likelihood calculations. The simulated data sets show the similar spatial distributions to the real ones, but differ from them in some features of space-time clustering. These differences may provide useful indicators of directions for further study.     

基于切比雪夫节点的一类带显式系数的广义高斯求积公式(英文)

The goal here is to give a simple approach to a quadrature formula based on the divided diffierences of the integrand at the zeros of the nth Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind,and those of the（n-1）st Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.Explicit expressions for the corresponding coefficients of the quadrature rule are also found after expansions of the divided diffierences,which was proposed in[14].     

Some generalizations of the Apostol-Genocchi polynomials and the Stirling numbers of the second kind

Recently, the authors introduced some generalizations of the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials and the Apostol-Euler polynomials (see [Q.-M. Luo, H.M. Srivastava, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 308 (2005) 290-302] and [Q.-M. Luo, Taiwanese J. Math. 10 (2006) 917-925]). The main object of this paper is to investigate an analogous generalization of the Genocchi polynomials of higher order, that is, the so-called Apostol-Genocchi polynomials of higher order. For these generalized Apostol-Genocchi polynomials, we establish several elementary properties, provide some explicit relationships with the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials and the Apostol-Euler polynomials, and derive various explicit series representations in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric function and the Hurwitz (or generalized) zeta function. We also deduce their special cases and applications which are shown here to lead to the corresponding results for the Genocchi and Euler polynomials of higher order. By introducing an analogue of the Stirling numbers of the second kind, that is, the so-called λ-Stirling numbers of the second kind, we derive some basic properties and formulas and consider some interesting applications to the family of the Apostol type polynomials. Furthermore, we also correct an error in a previous paper [Q.-M. Luo, H.M. Srivastava, Comput. Math. Appl. 51 (2006) 631-642] and pose two open problems on the subject of our investigation.     

Ergodic BSDEs under weak dissipative assumptions

In this paper we study ergodic backward stochastic differential equations (EBSDEs) dropping the strong dissipativity assumption needed in Fuhrman et al. (2009) [12]. In other words we do not need to require the uniform exponential decay of the difference of two solutions of the underlying forward equation, which, on the contrary, is assumed to be non-degenerate.We show the existence of solutions by the use of coupling estimates for a non-degenerate forward stochastic differential equation with bounded measurable nonlinearity. Moreover we prove the uniqueness of “Markovian” solutions by exploiting the recurrence of the same class of forward equations.Applications are then given for the optimal ergodic control of stochastic partial differential equations and to the associated ergodic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations.     

The mean square of the DirichletL-functions in the critical strip

We study an asymptotic formula of the DirichletL-functions in the critical strip. This is an analogy of the Atkinson-type formula for DirichletL-functions. Published in Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 40, No. 2, pp. 201–213, April–June, 2000.
