Sobolev Spaces with only Trivial Isometries

We will give some conditions for Sobolev spaces on bounded Lipschitz domains to admit only trivial isometries.     

One cannot hear orbifold isotropy type

We show that the isotropy types of the singularities of Riemannian orbifolds are not determined by the Laplace spectrum. Indeed, we construct arbitrarily large families of mutually isospectral orbifolds with different isotropy types. Finally, we show that the corresponding singular strata of two isospectral orbifolds may not be homeomorphic. Received: 6 October 2005     

The asymptotic behaviour of certain entire functions of order zero

Summary A certain class of entire functionsF(s) of order zero which are asymptotically equal to the sum of just two neighbouring terms of their power series when |s| with |args| < – for any fixed > 0, is investigated. Which two terms one has to take, depends upons. It is shown that these functions have infinitely many negative zeros, and the asymptotic behaviour of the zeros is also determined.     

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.

Integrals involving Gegenbauer and Hermite polynomials on the imaginary axis

Summary The integral _- [C _2n (it)]^–2(1+t ²)^–-1/2 dt is evaluated for > –1/2 whereC _2n is the Gegenbauer polynomial of degree 2n. Letting gives the value _- [H _2n (it)]^–2 e ^{1-1/2t 2} dt involving the Hermite polynomialH _2n of degree 2n. The result is obtained using Gegenbauer functions of the second kind.
