Immersions of spheres and algebraically constructible functions

Let Λ be an algebraic set and let (n is even) be a polynomial mapping such that for each there is r(λ) > 0 such that the mapping g _λ  =  g(· , λ) restricted to the sphere S ⁿ (r) is an immersion for every 0  <  r  <  r (λ), so that the intersection number I(g _λ|S ⁿ (r)) is defined. Then is an algebraically constructible function. I. Karolkiewicz and A. Nowel supported by the grant BW/5100-5-0286-7.     

Central polynomials and matrix invariants

LetK be a field, charK=0 andM _n (K) the algebra ofn×n matrices overK. If λ=(λ₁,…,λ _m ) andμ=(μ ₁,…,μ _m ) are partitions ofn ² let wherex ₁,…,x _n ²,y ₁,…,y _n ² are noncommuting indeterminates andS _n ² is the symmetric group of degreen ². The polynomialsF ^{λ, μ} , when evaluated inM _n (K), take central values and we study the problem of classifying those partitions λ,μ for whichF ^{λ, μ} is a central polynomial (not a polynomial identity) forM _n (K). We give a formula that allows us to evaluateF ^{λ, μ} inM(K) in general and we prove that if λ andμ are not both derived in a suitable way from the partition δ=(1, 3,…, 2n−3, 2n−1), thenF ^{λ, μ} is a polynomial identity forM _n (K). As an application, we exhibit a new class of central polynomials forM _n (K). In memory of Shimshon Amitsur Research supported by a grant from MURST of Italy.

Upper Triangular Operator Matrices, SVEP and Browder, Weyl Theorems

A Banach space operator T ∈ B(χ) is polaroid if points λ ∈ iso σ(T) are poles of the resolvent of T. Let denote, respectively, the approximate point, the Weyl, the Weyl essential approximate, the upper semi–Fredholm and lower semi–Fredholm spectrum of T. For A, B and C ∈ B(χ), let M _C denote the operator matrix . If A is polaroid on , M ₀ satisfies Weyl’s theorem, and A and B satisfy either of the hypotheses (i) A has SVEP at points and B has SVEP at points , or, (ii) both A and A* have SVEP at points , or, (iii) A^* has SVEP at points and B ^* has SVEP at points , then . Here the hypothesis that λ ∈ π₀(M _C ) are poles of the resolvent of A can not be replaced by the hypothesis are poles of the resolvent of A. For an operator , let . We prove that if A* and B* have SVEP, A is polaroid on π ^a ₀(M _C) and B is polaroid on π ^a ₀(B), then .

On the estimation of the regression coefficients of a continuous parameter process with stationary residual

The asymptotic expressions of the covariance matrices for both the least square estimates _L α _T and Markov (best linear) estimates are obtained, based on a sample in a finite interval (0, T) of the regression co-efficients α = (α ₁, …, α _{m 0})′ of a parameter-continuous process with a stationary residual. We assume that the regression variables φ _ν(t), t ⩾ 0, ν = 1, …, m ₀, are continuous in t, and satisfy conditions (3.1)–(3.3). For the residual, we assume that it is a stationary process that possesses a bounded continuous spectral density f(λ). Under these assumptions, it is proven that

Discretization of Compact Riemannian Manifolds Applied to the Spectrum of Laplacian

For κ ⩾ 0 and r₀ > 0 let ℳ(n, κ, r₀) be the set of all connected, compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (Mⁿ, g) with Ricci (M, g) ⩾ −(n−1) κ g and Inj (M) ⩾ r₀. We study the relation between the kth eigenvalue λ_k(M) of the Laplacian associated to (Mⁿ,g), Δ = −div(grad), and the kth eigenvalue λ_k(X) of a combinatorial Laplacian associated to a discretization X of M. We show that there exist constants c, C > 0 (depending only on n, κ and r₀) such that for all M ∈ ℳ(n, κ, r₀) and X a discretization of for all k < |X|. Then, we obtain the same kind of result for two compact manifolds M and N ∈ ℳ(n, κ, r₀) such that the Gromov–Hausdorff distance between M and N is smaller than some η > 0. We show that there exist constants c, C > 0 depending on η, n, κ and r₀ such that for all .

On the influence of parameters determining anisotropic spaces of smooth functions on characteristics of the embedding theorems

An anisotropic Sobolev and Nikol'skii-Besov space on a domain G is determined by its integro-differential (shortly, ID) parameters. On the other hand, the geometry of G is characterized by the set Λ(G) of all vectors λ=(λ₁,..., λ_n) such that G satisfies the λ-horn condition. We study the dependence of the totality of possible embeddings upon the set Λ(G) and theID-parameters of the space. We consider only embeddings with q≥pⁱ, where pⁱ are the integral parameters of the space and q is the integral embedding parameter. For a given space, we introduce its initial matrix A₀ determined by theID-parameters. A₀ turns out to be a Z-matrix. On the basis of a natural classification of Z-matrices, a classification of anisotropic spaces is introduced. This classification allows one to restate the existence of an embedding with q≥pⁱ in terms of certain specific properties of A₀. Let A₀ be a nondegenerate M-matrix. Any vector λ∈Λ(G) gives rise to a certain set of admissible values of the embedding parameters. We call λ optimal if this set is the largest possible. It turns out that the optimal vector λ _G ^* is determined by Λ(G) and A₀, and may be found by a linear optimization procedure. The following cases are possible: a) , b) , c) λ _G ^* does not exist. In case a) the set of admissible values of the embedding parameters is the biggest, while in case c) no embeddings with q≥pⁱ exist. In case b) the so-called saturation phenomenon occurs, i.e., certain variations of some differential parameters of the space do not change the set of admissible values of the embedding parameters. The latter fact has some applications to the problem of extension of all functions belonging to the given space from G to Eⁿ. Bibliography: 20 titles.

ON A CLASS OF BESICOVITCHFUNCTIONS TO HAVE EXACT BOX DIMENSION： A NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION

This paper summarized recent achievements obtained by the authors about the box dimensions of the Besicovitch functions given byB(t) := ∞∑k=1 λs-2k sin(λkt),where 1 ＜ s ＜ 2, λk ＞ 0 tends to infinity as k →∞ and λk satisfies λk 1/λk ≥λ＞ 1. The results show thatlimk→∞ log λk 1/log λk = 1is a necessary and sufficient condition for Graph(B(t)) to have same upper and lower box dimensions.For the fractional Riemann-Liouville differential operator Du and the fractional integral operator D-v,the results show that if λ is sufficiently large, then a necessary and sufficient condition for box dimension of Graph(D-v(B)),0 ＜ v ＜ s - 1, to be s - v and box dimension of Graph(Du(B)),0 ＜ u ＜ 2 - s, to be s uis also lim k→∞logλk 1/log λk = 1.     

Estimates for spectral projection operators of the sub-laplacian on the heisenberg group

In this paper, we use Laguerre calculus to find theLP spectrum (λ, Μ) of the pair (L, iT). Here md T = ∂/∂t with a basis for the left-invariant vector fields on the Heisenberg group. We find kernels for the spectral projection operators on the ray λ > 0 in the Heisenberg brush and show that they are Calderón-Zygmund-Mikhlin operators. Estimates for these operators in L _k ^p (H_n), H^P(H_n), and S _k ^pv (H_n) spaces can therefore be deduced.     

Star number and star arboricity of a complete multigraph

Let G be a multigraph. The star number s(G) of G is the minimum number of stars needed to decompose the edges of G. The star arboricity sa(G) of G is the minimum number of star forests needed to decompose the edges of G. As usual λK _n denote the λ-fold complete graph on n vertices (i.e., the multigraph on n vertices such that there are λ edges between every pair of vertices). In this paper, we prove that for n ⩾ 2

Asymptotic behavior of the solutions of an integrodifferential system

Summary We consider the system(L): , t ⩾ p, y(t)=f(t), t⩽0, where y is an n-vector and each A_i, B(t) are n × n matrices. System(L) generates a semigroup by means of T_tf(s)=y (t+s, f), f(s) ∈ BC_l(− ∞, 0]. Under some hypotheses concerning the roots ofdet where is the Laplace transform of B(t), the asymptotic behavior of y(t) is discussed. Two typical results are: Theorem 3.1: suppose ∥B(t)∥ ɛ L₁[0, ∞), thendet forRe λ>0 iff for every ɛ>0 there is an M_ɛ>0 such that ∥T_tf∥_l ⩽ ⩽ M_ɛ exp [ɛt]∥f∥_l for t ⩾ 0. Corollary 3.1.1: suppose exp [at]B(t) ∈ ∈ L₁[0, ∞) for some a>0 anddet forRe λ>−a. Then the solution of(L) is exponentially asymptotically stable. Entrata in Redazione il 21 marzo 1975.

An Improvement of an Inequality of Fiedler Leading to a New Conjecture on Nonnegative Matrices

Suppose that A is an n × n nonnegative matrix whose eigenvalues are = (A), ₂, ..., _n. Fiedler and others have shown that \det( I -A) ⁿ - ⁿ, for all > with equality for any such if and only if A is the simple cycle matrix. Let a _i be the signed sum of the determinants of the principal submatrices of A of order i × i, i=1, ..., n - 1. We use similar techniques to Fiedler to show that Fiedler's inequality can be strengthened to: for all . We use this inequality to derive the inequality that: . In the spirit of a celebrated conjecture due to Boyle-Handelman, this inequality inspires us to conjecture the following inequality on the nonzero eigenvalues of A: If ₁ = (A), ₂,...,_k are (all) the nonzero eigenvalues of A, then . We prove this conjecture for the case when the spectrum of A is real.
