String Jacobi Matrices with Very Fast Decreasing Weights

In this work we investigate a class of string, compact Jacobi matrices with very rapidly decreasing weights. In particular, we have found Hellinger-Weyls function representation as ratio of two entire functions with known Taylor series representation. The asymptotical estimations of zeroes of this entire functions and of eigenvalues of a corresponding operator are found. The application of this theory to Rogers-Ramanujans functions is considered.Submitted: November 18, 2002 Revised: October 30, 2003     

Multiplication operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions

Let be a Hilbert space of functions analytic on a plane domain such that for every in the functional of evaluation at is bounded. Assume further that contains the constants and admits multiplication by the independent variable z, M_z, as a bounded operator. We give sufficient conditions for M_z to be reflexive.Received: 17 February 2004     

Increasing Self-Described Sequences

We proceed with our study of increasing self-described sequences F, beginning with 1 and defined by a functional equation In [1] we exhibited the simple solution f (t)=Ct, for some (0,1), of the associated functional-differential equation and we proved that provided <2/(2+d()), where we have the asymtotic equivalence F(m)~ Cm.In the present paper we show that this last result is optimal, in the sense that the self-described sequence defined by |F^–1(m)|=F(m)², that is

Graded left modular lattices are supersolvable

We provide a direct proof that a finite graded lattice with a maximal chain of left modular elements is supersolvable. This result was first established via a detour through EL-labellings in [MT] by combining results of McNamara [Mc] and Liu [Li]. As part of our proof, we show that the maximum graded quotient of the free product of a chain and a single-element lattice is finite and distributive.Received May 24, 2004; accepted in final form October 12, 2004.     

6 j symbols for $U_q (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2 )$U_q (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2 ) and non-Euclidean tetrahedra

We relate the semiclassical asymptotics of the 6j symbols for the quantized enveloping algebra at q a root of unity (resp. q real positive) to the geometry of spherical (resp. hyperbolic) tetrahedra.     

Characterization of polynomial decay rate for the solution of linear evolution equation

In this paper, we study the decay rate of solutions to strongly stable, but not exponentially stable linear evolution equations. It is known that the resolvent operator of such an equation must be unbounded on the imaginary axis. Our main result is an estimate of the decay rate when the unboundedness is of polynomial order. We then apply our main theorem to three strongly stable but not exponentially stable systems to obtain the decay rate, which is not available in the literature.Received: July 21, 2003     

Exit time and invariant measure asymptotics for small noise constrained diffusions

Constrained diffusions, with diffusion matrix scaled by small ?>0, in a convex polyhedral cone G⊂R^k, are considered. Under suitable stability assumptions small noise asymptotic properties of invariant measures and exit times from domains are studied. Let B⊂G be a bounded domain. Under conditions, an “exponential leveling” property that says that, as ?→0, the moments of functionals of exit location from B, corresponding to distinct initial conditions, coalesce asymptotically at an exponential rate, is established. It is shown that, with appropriate conditions, difference of moments of a typical exit time functional with a sub-logarithmic growth, for distinct initial conditions in suitable compact subsets of B, is asymptotically bounded. Furthermore, as initial conditions approach 0 at a rate ?² these moments are shown to asymptotically coalesce at an exponential rate.     

On chaotic extensions of dynamical systems

In this paper, inspired by some results in linear dynamics, we will show that every dynamical system (X,f), where f is a continuous self-map on a separable metric space X, can be extended to a chaotic (in the sense of Devaney) dynamical system in an isometric way.     

A dichotomy for the convex spaces of probability measures

We show that every nonempty compact and convex space M of probability Radon measures either contains a measure which has ‘small’ local character in M or else M contains a measure of ‘large’ Maharam type. Such a dichotomy is related to several results on Radon measures on compact spaces and to some properties of Banach spaces of continuous functions.
