On a question of H. Kraljević

In this paper, assuming a certain set-theoretic hypothesis, a positive answer is given to a question of H. Kraljevi, namely it is shown that there exists a Lebesgue measurable subsetA of the real line such that the set {c R: A + cA contains an interval} is nonmeasurable. Here the setA + cA = {a + ca: a, a A}. Two other results about sets of the formA + cA are presented.     

The Weierstrass mean

Theorem.Let the sequences {e _i ⁽ⁿ⁾ },i=1, 2, 3,n=0, 1, 2, ...be defined by where the e ⁽⁰⁾ s satisfy and where all square roots are taken positive. Then where the convergence is quadratic and monotone and where The discussions of convergence are entirely elementary. However, although the determination of the limits can be made in an elementary way, an acquaintance with elliptic objects is desirable for real understanding.

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.

Applying Bittner's operational calculus we present a method to give approximate solutions of linear partial differential equations of first order

An isolic generalization of Cauchy's theorem for finite groups

In his note [5] Hausner states a simple combinatorial principle, namely:

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 the error of compound quadrature formulas forr-convex functions

LetC _m be a compound quadrature formula, i.e.C _m is obtained by dividing the interval of integration [a, b] intom subintervals of equal length, and applying the same quadrature formulaQ _n to every subinterval. LetR _m be the corresponding error functional. Iff ^(r) > 0 impliesR _m [f] > 0 (orR _m [f] < 0),=" then=" we=" say=">C _m is positive definite (or negative definite, respectively) of orderr. This is the case for most of the well-known quadrature formulas. The assumption thatf ^(r) > 0 may be weakened to the requirement that all divided differences of orderr off are non-negative. Thenf is calledr-convex. Now letC _m be positive definite or negative definite of orderr, and letf be continuous andr-convex. We prove the following direct and inverse theorems for the errorR _m [f], where , denotes the modulus of continuity of orderr:
