Hamburger Moment Sequences in Combinatorics

We show that many well-known counting coefficients in combinatorics are Hamburger moment sequences in certain unified approaches and that Hamburger moment sequences are infinitely convex. We introduce the concept of the q-Hamburger moment sequence of polynomials and present some examples of such sequences of polynomials. We also suggest some problems and conjectures.     

Standard Embeddings of Smooth Schubert Varieties in Rational Homogeneous Manifolds of Picard Number 1

Smooth Schubert varieties in rational homogeneous manifolds of Picard number 1 are horospherical varieties. We characterize standard embeddings of smooth Schubert varieties in rational homogeneous manifolds of Picard number 1 by means of varieties of minimal rational tangents. In particular, we mainly consider nonhomogeneous smooth Schubert varieties in symplectic Grassmannians and in the 20-dimensional F_4- homogeneous manifold associated to a short simple root.     

Bridging between short-range and long-range dependence with mixed spatio-temporal Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes

While short-range dependence is widely assumed in the literature for its simplicity, long-range dependence is a feature that has been observed in data from finance, hydrology, geophysics and economics. In this paper, we extend a Lévy-driven spatio-temporal Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process by randomly varying its rate parameter to model both short-range and long-range dependence. This particular set-up allows for non-separable spatio-temporal correlations which are desirable for real applications, as well as flexible spatial covariances which arise from the shapes of influence regions. Theoretical properties such as spatio-temporal stationarity and second-order moments are established. An isotropic g-class is also used to illustrate how the memory of the process is related to the probability distribution of the rate parameter. We develop a simulation algorithm for the compound Poisson case which can be used to approximate other Lévy bases. The generalized method of moments is used for inference and simulation experiments are conducted with a view towards asymptotic properties.     

Strong convergence analysis of a hybrid algorithm for nonlinear operators in a Banach space

In this paper, a hybrid algorithm is investigated for an asymptotically quasi-$\phi$-nonexpansive mapping in the intermediate sense and a bifunction. Strong convergence of the algorithm is obtained in a strictly convex, smooth and reflexive Banach space.     

Bifurcations of exact travelling wave solutions for the generalized R-K-L equation

Using the method of dynamical systems for the the generalized Radhakrishnan, Kundu, Lakshmanan equation, the existence of soliton solutions, uncountably infinite many periodic wave solutions and unbounded wave solution are obtained. Exact explicit parametric representations of the above travelling solutions are given. To guarantee the existence of the above solutions, all parameter conditions are determined.     

Relations between some basic results derived from two kinds of topologies for a random locally convex module

The purpose of this paper is to exhibit the relations between some basic results derived from the two kinds of topologies (namely the (ε,λ)-topology and the stronger locally L⁰-convex topology) for a random locally convex module. First, we give an extremely simple proof of the known Hahn-Banach extension theorem for L⁰-linear functions as well as its continuous variant. Then we give the relations between the hyperplane separation theorems in [D. Filipovi?, M. Kupper, N. Vogelpoth, Separation and duality in locally L⁰-convex modules, J. Funct. Anal. 256 (2009) 3996-4029] and a basic strict separation theorem in [T.X. Guo, H.X. Xiao, X.X. Chen, A basic strict separation theorem in random locally convex modules, Nonlinear Anal. 71 (2009) 3794-3804]: in the process we also obtain a very useful fact that a random locally convex module with the countable concatenation property must have the same completeness under the two topologies. As applications of the fact, we prove that most of the previously established principal results of random conjugate spaces of random normed modules under the (ε,λ)-topology are still valid under the locally L⁰-convex topology, which considerably enriches financial applications of random normed modules.     

Wavelet expansions and asymptotic behavior of distributions

We develop a distribution wavelet expansion theory for the space of highly time-frequency localized test functions over the real line S₀(R)⊂S(R) and its dual space , namely, the quotient of the space of tempered distributions modulo polynomials. We prove that the wavelet expansions of tempered distributions converge in . A characterization of boundedness and convergence in is obtained in terms of wavelet coefficients. Our results are then applied to study local and non-local asymptotic properties of Schwartz distributions via wavelet expansions. We provide Abelian and Tauberian type results relating the asymptotic behavior of tempered distributions with the asymptotics of wavelet coefficients.     

A remark on Schatten-von Neumann properties of resolvent differences of generalized Robin Laplacians on bounded domains

In this note we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the s-numbers of the resolvent difference of two generalized self-adjoint, maximal dissipative or maximal accumulative Robin Laplacians on a bounded domain Ω with smooth boundary ∂Ω. For this we apply the recently introduced abstract notion of quasi boundary triples and Weyl functions from extension theory of symmetric operators together with Krein type resolvent formulae and well-known eigenvalue asymptotics of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on ∂Ω. It is shown that the resolvent difference of two generalized Robin Laplacians belongs to the Schatten-von Neumann class of any order p for which

     

Linear operators with compact supports, probability measures and Milyutin maps

The notion of a regular operator with compact supports between function spaces is introduced. On that base we obtain a characterization of absolute extensors for 0-dimensional spaces in terms of regular extension operators having compact supports. Milyutin maps are also considered and it is established that some topological properties, like paracompactness, metrizability and κ-metrizability, are preserved under Milyutin maps.
