Strong Convergence of Spherical Harmonic Expansions on H1(Sd-1)

Let $\sigma_k^\delta$ denote the Cesaro means of order $\delta > -1$ of the spherical harmonic expansions on the unit sphere $S^{d-1}$, and let $E_j(f, H^1)$ denote the best approximation of $f$ in the Hardy space $H^1(S^{d-1})$ by spherical polynomials of degree at most $j$. It is known that $\lambda:= (d-2)/2$ is the critical index for the summability of the Cesaro means on $H^1(S^{d-1})$. The main result of this paper states that, for $ f\in H^1(S^{d-1})$, $$\sum_{j=0}^N \f 1{j+1} \|\sigma_j^\lambda (f) -f\|_{H^1}\approx \sum_{j=0}^N \f 1{j+1} E_j(f, H^1),$$ where “$\approx$” means that the ratio of both sides lies between two positive constants independent of $f$ and $N$.     

Calculation of geometrical coupling coefficients for the hyperspherical harmonics approach

An elegant and fast method for the calculation of geometrical structure coefficients needed for an expansion of a few-body wavefunction and interaction in hyperspherical harmonics has been proposed. A sum rule for the GSC has also been derived, which is useful for an independent check of the coefficients. The proposed method of computation is many orders of magnitude faster than conventional methods.

Perturbed kernel approximation on homogeneous manifolds

Current methods for interpolation and approximation within a native space rely heavily on the strict positive-definiteness of the underlying kernels. If the domains of approximation are the unit spheres in euclidean spaces, then zonal kernels (kernels that are invariant under the orthogonal group action) are strongly favored. In the implementation of these methods to handle real world problems, however, some or all of the symmetries and positive-definiteness may be lost in digitalization due to small random errors that occur unpredictably during various stages of the execution. Perturbation analysis is therefore needed to address the stability problem encountered. In this paper we study two kinds of perturbations of positive-definite kernels: small random perturbations and perturbations by Dunkl's intertwining operators [C. Dunkl, Y. Xu, Orthogonal polynomials of several variables, Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Its Applications, vol. 81, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2001]. We show that with some reasonable assumptions, a small random perturbation of a strictly positive-definite kernel can still provide vehicles for interpolation and enjoy the same error estimates. We examine the actions of the Dunkl intertwining operators on zonal (strictly) positive-definite kernels on spheres. We show that the resulted kernels are (strictly) positive-definite on spheres of lower dimensions.     

Approximations in Sobolev spaces by prolate spheroidal wave functions

Recently, there is a growing interest in the spectral approximation by the Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs) ${\psi }_{n,c},c>0$. This is due to the promising new contributions of these functions in various classical as well as emerging applications from Signal Processing, Geophysics, Numerical Analysis, etc. The PSWFs form a basis with remarkable properties not only for the space of band-limited functions with bandwidth c, but also for the Sobolev space $H^s([?1,1])$. The quality of the spectral approximation and the choice of the parameter c when approximating a function in $H^s([?1,1])$ by its truncated PSWFs series expansion, are the main issues. By considering a function $f\in H^s([?1,1])$ as the restriction to $[?1,1]$ of an almost time-limited and band-limited function, we try to give satisfactory answers to these two issues. Also, we illustrate the different results of this work by some numerical examples.     

Stress concentration around a spheroidal crack caused by a harmonic wave incident at an arbitrary angle

A method is proposed to study the stress concentration around a shallow spheroidal crack in an infinite elastic body. The stress concentration is due to the diffraction of a low-frequency plane longitudinal wave by the crack. The direction of wave propagation is established in which the combined concentration of mode I and mode II stresses is maximum __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 70–77, January 2006.

A polynomial expression for the Hilbert series of the quotient ring of diagonal coinvariants

A special case of Haiman?s identity [M. Haiman, Vanishing theorems and character formulas for the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane, Invent. Math. 149 (2002) 371–407] for the character of the quotient ring of diagonal coinvariants under the diagonal action of the symmetric group yields a formula for the bigraded Hilbert series as a sum of rational functions in q,t. In this paper we show how a summation identity of Garsia and Zabrocki for Macdonald polynomial Pieri coefficients can be used to transform Haiman?s formula for the Hilbert series into an explicit polynomial in q,t with integer coefficients. We also provide an equivalent formula for the Hilbert series as the constant term in a multivariate Laurent series.     

Coulomb Sturmians in spheroidal coordinates and their application for diatomic molecular calculations

Coulomb Sturmians are obtained in prolate spheroidal coordinates by separation of variables in the Schrödinger equation and direct solution of the appropriate one-dimensional equations. Molecular orbitals are expressed as linear combinations of the introduced Coulomb Sturmians and some low-lying energy terms and corresponding wave functions are calculated for one-electron diatomic molecules. It is shown that similarity of the one- and two-centre orbitals in spheroidal coordinates, combined with completeness and good convergence properties of Coulomb Sturmians, substantially speeds up convergence and makes the calculated results closer to the exact ones. Application of the elaborated calculating scheme for diatomic many-electron molecules is discussed.
