Fixed points of approximable maps

We present a simple proof of the Leray-Schauder type theorem for approximable multimaps given recently by Ben-El-Mechaiekh and Idzik. We apply this theorem to obtain a Schaefer type theorem, the Birkhoff-Kellogg type theorems, a Penot type theorem for non-self-maps, and quasi-variational inequalities, all related to compact closed approximable maps.

     

Calculation of multicentre nuclear attraction integrals over Slater-type orbitals using unsymmetrical one-range addition theorems

Using the unsymmetrical one-range addition theorems introduced by one of the authors with the help of complete orthonormal sets of Ψα-exponential type orbitals(α = 1,0,1,2,...),this paper presents the sets of series expansion relations for multicentre nuclear attraction integrals over Slater-type orbitals arising in Hartree-Fock-Roothaan equations for molecules.The final results are expressed through multicentre charge density expansion coefficients and basic integrals.The convergence of the series is tested by calculating concrete cases for arbitrary values of parameters of orbitals.     

Nonconical optimality conditions: Some additional results

The purpose of the present note is to provide a somewhat more flexible statement of the sufficiency conditions in Section 4 of Ref. 1 and to give explicit statements of the fundamental necessity and sufficiency results, which were only implicitly presented there. The additional flexibility is obtained by considering local, rather than global, pseudoconcavity requirements.     

Central limit theorem and weak law of large numbers with rates for martingales in Banach spaces

This paper is concerned with large-$\text{O}$ error estimates concerning convergence in distribution as well as norm convergence for Banach space-valued martingale difference sequences. Indeed, two general limit theorems equipped with rates of convergence for such difference sequences are established. Applications of these lead to the central limit theorem and the weak law of large numbers with rates for Banach space-valued martingales.     

Spectral distributions in nuclei: General principles and applications

The subject of spectral distribution methods where one derives and applies the locally smoothed forms of observables in nuclei is briefly reviewed. It is well understood that the local forms (with respect to energy) of the level density function, expectation values and strength densities are Gaussian, linear (or ratio of Gaussians) and a bivariate Gaussian respectively. To accomodate symmetries in the above forms, one has to deal with multivariate distributions in general; for example the angular-momentum (J) decomposition leads to a bivariate Gaussian form for the level density. These results extend to indefinitely large spaces by method of partitioning and they generate convolution forms. The origin of these remarkable spectral properties is discussed and shell model examples are given to substantiate their applicability to nuclear systems. Spectral distribution theory is a practical, usable theory because the smoothed forms are defined in terms of traces of low particle-rank operators, and the trace information propagates. Finally we discuss the application of the spectral methods for a wide range of nuclear problems; these include binding energies, orbit occupancies, electromagnetic andβ-decay sum rule quantities, analysis of operators, symmetry breaking, numerical level densities, and determination of bounds on time-reversal non-invariant part of nucleon-nucleon interaction.     

Quantum feedback control: how to use verification theorems and viscosity solutions to find optimal protocols

While feedback control has many applications in quantum systems, finding optimal control protocols for this task is generally challenging. So-called ‘verification theorems’ and ‘viscosity solutions’ provide two useful tools for this purpose: together they give a simple method to check whether any given protocol is optimal, and provide a numerical method for finding optimal protocols. While treatments of verification theorems usually use sophisticated mathematical language, this is not necessary. In this article we give a simple introduction to feedback control in quantum systems, and then describe verification theorems and viscosity solutions in simple language. We also illustrate their use with a concrete example of current interest.     

非等熵气体动力学方程组大初值问题的放缩框架

非等熵气体动力学系统Cauchy问题弱解全局存在性有两个公开问题:一个是包含真空的小初值问题,另一个是任意大初值问题.本文通过引入一个放缩框架证明了上述两个问题的等价性,即对于粘性消失解,其包含真空小初值问题的一致BV估计蕴含着任意大初值问题弱解的全局存在性.该放缩框架对大多数具有物理背景的双曲守恒律系统亦成立.     

On the optimal control for variational inequalities

We prove an existence theorem for the optimal control of variational inequalities governed by a pseudomonotone operator: the cost is assumed to be quadratic. Then, we give an extension of the theorem to more general costs (assuming the operator to be monotone); we also give a result on a perturbation problem.This work is an extended part of the author's thesis, written under the direction of Professor T. Zolezzi. This research was partially supported by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Rome, Italy.     

Remarks on lower semicontinuity and lower closure

In the context of a recent geometric condition of Cesari, used in the reduction of seminormality requirements in lower closure theorems, this paper shows that the existence of a strongly convergent selection from the sequence of orientor fields, under Kuratowski property (K), is adequate to guarantee lower closure theorems. This generalization is justified through examples. Several related remarks are made.This work was done in the framework of Research Project AFOSR-71-2122 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The author wishes to thank Professor L. Cesari for helpful discussions during the writing of this paper.     

Difference operators,Green's matrix,sampling theory and applications in signal processing

This paper introduces sampling representations for discrete signals arising from self adjoint difference operators with mixed boundary conditions. The theory of linear operators on finite-dimensional inner product spaces is employed to study the second-order difference operators. We give necessary and sufficient conditions that make the operators self adjoint. The equivalence between the difference operator and a Hermitian Green's matrix is established. Sampling theorems are derived for discrete transforms associated with the difference operator. The results are exhibited via illustrative examples, involving sampling representations for the discrete Hartley transform. Families of discrete fractional Fourier-type transforms are introduced with an application to image encryption.
