A connection between operator topologies, polynomial interpolation, and synthesis of diagonal operators

In this paper we extend the work done by Deters and Seubert in [I. Deters, S. Seubert, Cyclic vectors of diagonal operators on the space of functions analytic on a disk, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 334 (2007) 1209-1219]. In particular, we shall improve upon a theorem in the aforementioned paper and make connections between the strong operator topology on H(B(0,1)), polynomial behavior on a sequence of points, and the synthesis of diagonal operators on H(B(0,1)).     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be causative in a nonstationary Markov chain

Given a sequence of transition matrices for a nonstationary Markov chain, a matrix whose product on the right of a transition matrix yields the next transition matrix is called a causative matrix. A causative matrix is strongly causative if successive products continue to yield stochastic matrices. This paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be causative and strongly causative with respect to an invertible transition matrix, by considering the causative matrix as a linear transformation on the rows of the transition matrix.

The Fundamental Relations between Geometric Programming Duality, Parametric Programming Duality, and Ordinary Lagrangian Duality

Every formulation of mathematical programming duality (known to the author) for continuous finite-dimensional optimization can easily be viewed as a special case of at least one of the following three formulations: the geometric programming formulation (of the generalized geometric programming type), the parametric programming formulation (of the generalized Rockafellar-perturbation type), and the ordinary Lagrangian formulation (of the generalized Falk type). The relative strengths and weaknesses of these three duality formulations are described herein, as are the fundamental relations between them. As a theoretical application, the basic duality between Fenchel's hypothesis and the existence of recession directions in convex programming is established and then expressed within each of these three duality formulations     

Truncation Error on Wavelet Sampling Expansions

We estimate the truncation error of sampling expansions on translationinvariant spaces, generated by integer translations of a single functionand on wavelet subspaces of L ₂(R). As a byproduct of themain result, we get the classical Jagerman's bound for Shannon's samplingexpansions. We also examine this error on certain wavelet sampling expansions.

Conjugate residual methods for almost symmetric linear systems

This paper concerns the use of conjugate residual methods for the solution of nonsymmetric linear systems arising in applications to differential equations. We focus on an application derived from a seismic inverse problem. The linear system is a small perturbation to a symmetric positive-definite system, the nonsymmetries arising from discretization errors in the solution of certain boundary-value problems. We state and prove a new error bound for a class of generalized conjugate residual methods; we show that, in some cases, the perturbed symmetric problem can be solved with an error bound similar to the one for the conjugate residual method applied to the symmetric problem. We also discuss several applications for special distributions of eigenvalues.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation, Grants DMS-84-03148 and DCR-81-16779, and by the Office of Naval Research, Contract N00014-85-K-0725.     

On quasispectral maximal subspaces of a class of Volterra-type operators

The concept of quasispectral maximal subspaces for quasinilpotent (but not nilpotent) operators was introduced by M. Omladi\v{c} in 1984. As an application a class of quasinilpotent operators on -spaces, close to the Volterra kernel operator, was studied. In the present Banach function space setting we determine all quasispectral maximal subspaces of analogues of such operators and prove that these subspaces are all the invariant bands. An example is given showing that (in general) they are not all the closed, invariant ideals of the operator.

     

Complementation and decompositions in some weakly Lindelöf Banach spaces

Let Γ denote an uncountable set. We consider the questions if a Banach space X of the form C(K) of a given class (1) has a complemented copy of c₀(Γ) or (2) for every c₀(Γ)⊆X has a complemented c₀(E) for an uncountable E⊆Γ or (3) has a decomposition X=A⊕B where both A and B are nonseparable. The results concern a superclass of the class of nonmetrizable Eberlein compacts, namely Ks such that C(K) is Lindelöf in the weak topology and we restrict our attention to Ks scattered of countable height. We show that the answers to all these questions for these C(K)s depend on additional combinatorial axioms which are independent of ZFC ± CH. If we assume the P-ideal dichotomy, for every c₀(Γ)⊆C(K) there is a complemented c₀(E) for an uncountable E⊆Γ, which yields the positive answer to the remaining questions. If we assume ♣, then we construct a nonseparable weakly Lindelöf C(K) for K of height ω+1 where every operator is of the form cI+S for c∈R and S with separable range and conclude from this that there are no decompositions as above which yields the negative answer to all the above questions. Since, in the case of a scattered compact K, the weak topology on C(K) and the pointwise convergence topology coincide on bounded sets, and so the Lindelöf properties of these two topologies are equivalent, many results concern also the space Cp(K).
