The semidirect products of finite cyclic groups that areI-E groups

AnI-E group is a group in which the endomorphism near-ring generated by the group's inner automorphisms equals the endomorphism near-ring generated by its endomorphisms. In this paper we shall completely determine the finite groups that are semidirect products of cyclic groups and areI-E groups.     

Large-time behavior of perturbed diffusion markov processes with applications to the second eigenvalue problem for fokker-planck operators and simulated annealing

We study the large-time behavior and rate of convergence to the invariant measures of the processes dX (t)=b(X) (t)) dt + (X (t)) dB(t). A crucial constant appears naturally in our study. Heuristically, when the time is of the order exp( – )/² , the transition density has a good lower bound and when the process has run for about exp( – )/², it is very close to the invariant measure. LetL =(²/2) – U · be a second-order differential operator on ^d. Under suitable conditions,L ^z has the discrete spectrum

On well-ordered mono-unary algebras

Given a linearly ordered set (A, _R ) and an R-monotone function f: AA, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on A, f, _R , involving generating sets and forbidden subalgebras, for _R to be a well-ordering.Partially supported by Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research Grant nr. 1813.

The asymptotic behaviour of certain entire functions of order zero

Summary A certain class of entire functionsF(s) of order zero which are asymptotically equal to the sum of just two neighbouring terms of their power series when |s| with |args| < – for any fixed > 0, is investigated. Which two terms one has to take, depends upons. It is shown that these functions have infinitely many negative zeros, and the asymptotic behaviour of the zeros is also determined.

IfK is a field of characteristic 0 then the following is shown. Iff, g, h: M _n (K) K are non-constant solutions of the Binet—Pexider functional equation

A new Pythagorean functional equation

The purpose of this paper is to solve the following Pythagorean functional equation:(e ^p(x,y) ) ² ) = q(x,y) ² + r(x, y) ², where each ofp(x,y), q(x, y) andr(x, y) is a real-valued unknown harmonic function of the real variablesx, y on the wholexy-planeR ².The result is as follows.

Integrals involving Gegenbauer and Hermite polynomials on the imaginary axis

Summary The integral _- [C _2n (it)]^–2(1+t ²)^–-1/2 dt is evaluated for > –1/2 whereC _2n is the Gegenbauer polynomial of degree 2n. Letting gives the value _- [H _2n (it)]^–2 e ^{1-1/2t 2} dt involving the Hermite polynomialH _2n of degree 2n. The result is obtained using Gegenbauer functions of the second kind.
