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

     

Weak <Emphasis Type="Italic">WT</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>-class of differential forms and weakly <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-harmonic tensors

In this paper, we give the definition of weak WT2-class of differential forms, and then obtain its weak reverse Holder inequality. As an application, we give an alternative proof of the higher integrability result of weakly A-harmonic tensors due to B. Stroffolini.     

THE SCHUR HARMONIC CONVEXITY FOR A CLASS OF SYMMETRIC FUNCTIONS

In this article,we prove that the symmetric function F_n~*(x,r)=i_1+i_ 2_++i_n =r(x_1~(i~1)x_2~(i~2)... x_n~(i~n)1/r is Schur harmonic convex for x∈R~n_+and r∈N={1,2,3,...}.As its applications,some analytic inequalities are established.     

ESR and Theoretical Studies of Bis-Benzene-1, 2-Diselenolate Nickel and Related Complexes

Abstract

ESR and theoretical studies of the transition metal complexes of [Co and Ni (Se₂C₆H₄)₂]^? (n-C₄H₉)₄N⁺ are reported and compared with closely related systems. Room temperature single crystal X-ray studies reveal the Nickel complex is orthorhombic. ESR studies of the polycrystalline powders of the Ni complex as a function of temperature from 108 K to room temperature show a series of spectral envelopes which can arise only from a paramagnetic site which possesses axial symmetry. At ca 160 K, there is an abrupt change in the value of the principal components of the anisotropic g-tensor of the Ni complex which is discussed. Low temperature ESR studies of polycrystalline samples of the ground state triplet Cobalt complex which is isomorphous with the Nickel complex reveal an orthorhombic g-tensor. From the field position of the half-field resonance, it is possible to calculate a mean separation, of the two electrons which make up the triplet state, of 4.3 (±0.5) A.     

The Chiral Induction of Chiral Nematics and the Anisotropic Circular Dichroism

Abstract

The anisotropic circular dichroism (ACD) and the chiral induction (HTP) are two chirality measurements of very different kind. For two binaphthyls diagonal elements of the circular dichroism (CD) tensor have been determined from the temperature dependence of the ACD and diagonal elements of the chirality interaction tensor from the temperature dependence of the HTP as a function of the order parameters. The tensor coordinate of the CD tensor and the chirality interaction tensor which belongs to the direction along the naphthyl-naphtyl bond determines mainly the ACD and HTP, respectively. In both cases an order independent contribution to the ACD and HTP exist.     

Deformation and rigidity results for the 2k‐Ricci tensor and the 2k‐Gauss‐Bonnet curvature

We present several deformation and rigidity results within the classes of closed Riemannian manifolds which either are 2k‐Einstein (in the sense that their 2k‐Ricci tensor is constant) or have constant 2k‐Gauss‐Bonnet curvature. The results hold for a family of manifolds containing all non‐flat space forms and the main ingredients in the proofs are explicit formulae for the linearizations of the above invariants obtained by means of the formalism of double forms.     

On the Construction of Finite Oscillator Dictionary

A finite oscillator dictionary which has important applications in sequences designs and the compressive sensing was introduced by Gurevich, Hadani, and Sochen in [3 Gurevich , S. , Hadani , R. , Sochen , N. (2008). The finite harmonic oscillator and its applications to sequences, communication and radar. IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 54(9):4239–4253.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In this paper, closed formulae of the finite split oscillator dictionary 𝔖 ^s are revisited by a simple proof, the structure of nonsplit tori of the group SL(2, 𝔽 _p ) is studied, and an explicit algorithm for computing the finite nonsplit oscillator dictionary 𝔖 ^ns is described.     

The cone of positive harmonic functions for scale-invariant diffusions

Consider a scale invariant diffusion whose state space is a closed cone in R ^d , minus the vertex. Then the process is either recurrent, transient to ∞ or transient to the vertex of the cone. In the latter case, the diffusion has finite lifetime (a.s.) and converges to the vertex at the lifetime. The Martin boundary consists of two points, and the corresponding minimal harmonic functions are of the form 1 and |x| ^α ψ(x/|x|).     

Functional Generalized Additive Models

We introduce the functional generalized additive model (FGAM), a novel regression model for association studies between a scalar response and a functional predictor. We model the link-transformed mean response as the integral with respect to t of F{X(t), t} where F( ·, ·) is an unknown regression function and X(t) is a functional covariate. Rather than having an additive model in a finite number of principal components as by Müller and Yao (2008 Müller, H.G., and Yao, F. (2008), “Functional Additive Models,” Journal of the American Statistical Association, 103, 1534–1544.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), our model incorporates the functional predictor directly and thus our model can be viewed as the natural functional extension of generalized additive models. We estimate F( ·, ·) using tensor-product B-splines with roughness penalties. A pointwise quantile transformation of the functional predictor is also considered to ensure each tensor-product B-spline has observed data on its support. The methods are evaluated using simulated data and their predictive performance is compared with other competing scalar-on-function regression alternatives. We illustrate the usefulness of our approach through an application to brain tractography, where X(t) is a signal from diffusion tensor imaging at position, t, along a tract in the brain. In one example, the response is disease-status (case or control) and in a second example, it is the score on a cognitive test. The FGAM is implemented in R in the refund package.
