Jacobson radical of skew polynomial rings and skew group rings

LetR be a ring and σ an automorphism ofR. We prove the following results: (i)J(R _σ[x])={Σ_ir_i x ⁱ:r₀∈I∩J(R]), r _i∈I for alliε 1} whereI↪ {r∈R:rx ∈J(R _Σ[x])|s= (ii)J(R _σ<x>)=(J(R _σ<x>)∩R)_σ<x>. As an application of the second result we prove that ifG is a solvable group such thatG andR, + have disjoint torsions thenJ(R)=0 impliesJ(R(G))=0.     

Equations fonctionnelles et estimations de normes de matrices

We solve independently the equations 1/θ(x)θ(y)=ψ(x)−ψ(y)+φ(x−y)/θ(x−y) and 1/θ(x)θ(y)=σ(x)−σ(y)/θ(x−y)+τ(x)τ(y), τ(0)=0. In both cases we find θ²=aθ⁴+bθ²+c. We deduce estimates for the spectral radius of a matrix of type(1/θ(x _r −x _s )) (the accent meaning that the coefficients of the main diagonal are zero) and we study the case where thex _r are equidistant.

On the number of certain subgraphs contained in graphs with a given number of edges

All graphs considered are finite, undirected, with no loops, no multiple edges and no isolated vertices. For two graphsG, H, letN(G, H) denote the number of subgraphs ofG isomorphic toH. Define also, forl≧0,N(l, H)=maxN(G, H), where the maximum is taken over all graphsG withl edges. We determineN(l, H) precisely for alll≧0 whenH is a disjoint union of two stars, and also whenH is a disjoint union ofr≧3 stars, each of sizes ors+1, wheres≧r. We also determineN(l, H) for sufficiently largel whenH is a disjoint union ofr stars, of sizess ₁≧s ₂≧…≧s _r>r, provided (s ₁−s _r)²<s ₁+s _r−2r. We further show that ifH is a graph withk edges, then the ratioN(l, H)/l ^k tends to a finite limit asl→∞. This limit is non-zero iffH is a disjoint union of stars.     

The Smallest Degree Sum That Yields Potentially Kr＋1 - K3-Graphic Sequences

Let a（Kr,＋1 - K3,n） be the smallest even integer such that each n-term graphic sequence п= （d1,d2,…dn） with term sum σ（п） = d1 ＋ d2 ＋…＋ dn 〉 σ（Kr＋1 -K3,n） has a realization containing Kr＋1 - K3 as a subgraph, where Kr＋1 -K3 is a graph obtained from a complete graph Kr＋1 by deleting three edges which form a triangle. In this paper, we determine the value σ（Kr＋1 - K3,n） for r ≥ 3 and n ≥ 3r＋ 5.     

Maps completely preserving spectral functions

Let X,Y be infinite dimensional complex Banach spaces and A,B be standard operator algebras on X and Y, respectively. In this paper, we show that surjective maps completely preserving certain spectral function Δ(·) from A to B are isomorphisms, where Δ(·) stands for any one of 13 spectral functions σ(·), σ_l(·), σ_r(·), σ_l(·)∩σ_r(·), ∂σ(·), ησ(·), σ_p(·), σ_c(·), σ_p(·)∩σ_c(·), σ_p(·)∪σ_c(·), σ_ap(·), σ_s(·), and σ_ap(·)∩σ_s(·).     

Sequence spaces and inverse of an infinite matrix

We give here some properties of the sets _α(uΔ) generalizing the space of generalized difference sequencesl ^∞(uΔ). Then we study spaces related to the sets of sequences that are strongly convergent or strongly bounded. Next we define from the sets of spaces that are (N,q) summable or bounded the sets of spaces that are (N,q)α-bounded orr-bounded. Then we give some properties of these spaces using Banach space of the forms _α.     

Asymptotiques d’un systeme dynamique conservatif associe a une equation elliptique non lineaire

LetM be a compact riemannian manifold,h an odd function such thath(r)/r is non-decreasing with limit 0 at 0. Letf(r)=h(r)-γr and assume there exist non-negative constantsA andB and a realp>1 such thatf(r)>Ar ^P-B. We prove that any non-negative solutionu ofu _tt+Δ_gu=f(u) onM x ℝ⁺ satisfying Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on ϖM converges to a (stationary) solution of Δ _g Φ=f(Φ) onM with exponential decay of ‖u-Φ‖C ²(M). For solutions with non-constant sign, we prove an homogenisation result for sufficiently small λ; further, we show that for every λ the map (u(0,·),u _t(0,·))→(u(t,·), u _t(t,·)) defines a dynamical system onW ^1/2(M)⊂C(M)×L ²(M) which possesses a compact maximal attractor.      

Joint ergodicity and mixing

The study of jointly ergodic measure preserving transformations of probability spaces, begun in [1], is continued, and notions of joint weak and strong mixing are introduced. Various properties of ergodic and mixing transformations are shown to admit analogues for several transformations. The case of endomorphisms of compact abelian groups is particularly emphasized. The main result is that, given such commuting endomorphisms σ₁σ₂,...,σ, ofG, the sequence ((1/N)Σ _n=0 ^N−1 σ ₁ ⁿ f ¹·σ ₂ ⁿ f ²· ··· · σ _s ⁿ f ^sconverges inL ²(G) for everyf ₁,f ₂,…,f _s∈L ^∞(G). If, moreover, the endomorphisms are jointly ergodic, i.e., if the limit of any sequence as above is Π _i=1 ^s ∫ _G f ₁ d μ, where μ is the Haar measure, then the convergence holds also μ-a.e.     

PRV property and the <Emphasis Type="Italic">ϕ</Emphasis>-asymptotic behavior of solutions of stochastic differential equations

In this paper, we investigate the a.s. asymptotic behavior of the solution of the stochastic differential equation dX(t) = g(X(t)) dt + σ(X(t))dW(t), X(0) ≢ 1, where g(·) and σ(·) are positive continuous functions, and W(·) is a standard Wiener process. By means of the theory of PRV functions we find conditions on g(·), σ(·), and ϕ(·) under which ϕ(X(·)) may be approximated a.s. by ϕ(μ(·)) on {X(t) → ∞}, where μ(·) is the solution of the ordinary differential equation dμ(t) = g(μ(t)) dt with μ(0) = 1.

A characterization of the<Emphasis Type="Italic">MM</Emphasis>*-position of a convex body in terms of covariance matrices

We characterize the position of a convex bodyK such that it minimizesM(TK)M*(TK) (theMM*-position) in terms of properties of the measures ‖ · ‖ _K d σ(·) and ‖ · ‖ _K °d σ(·), answering a question posed by A. Giannopoulos and V. Milman. The techniques used allow us to study other extremal problems in the context of dual Brunn-Minkowski theory.

Boundedness of maximal,potential type,and singular integral operators in the generalized variable exponent Morrey type spaces

We consider generalized Morrey type spaces M^{p( ·),q( ·),w( ·)}( W) {\mathcal{M}^{p\left( \cdot \right),\theta \left( \cdot \right),\omega \left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) with variable exponents p(x), θ(r) and a general function ω(x, r) defining a Morrey type norm. In the case of bounded sets W ì \mathbbRⁿ \Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^n} , we prove the boundedness of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator and Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators with standard kernel. We prove a Sobolev–Adams type embedding theorem M^{p( ·),q₁( ·),w₁( ·)}( W) ? M^{q( ·),q₂( ·),w₂( ·)}( W) {\mathcal{M}^{p\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_1}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_1}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) \to {\mathcal{M}^{q\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_2}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_2}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) for the potential type operator I ^α(·) of variable order. In all the cases, we do not impose any monotonicity type conditions on ω(x, r) with respect to r. Bibliography: 40 titles.     

Sum of sequence spaces and matrix transformations mapping in s α 0 ((Δ ? λ I ) h ) + s β ( c ) ((Δ ? μ I ) l )

We deal with the sum of sequence spaces. Then we apply these results to characterize matrix transformations mapping between s ^h,l (λ, μ) = s _α ⁰((Δ − λI) ^h ) + s _β ^(c)((Δ − μI) ^l ) and s _γ . Among other things the aim of this paper is to reduce the set (s ^h,l (λ, μ), s _γ to a set of the form S _τ,γ .      

Virtual Eigenvalues of the High Order Schrödinger Operator I

We consider the Schr?dinger operator H_γ = ( − Δ)^l + γ V(x)· acting in the space $$L_2 (\mathbb{R}^d ),$$ where 2l ≥ d, V (x) ≥ 0, V (x) is continuous and is not identically zero, and $$\lim _{|{\mathbf{x}}| \to \infty } V({\mathbf{x}}) = 0.$$ We obtain an asymptotic expansion as $$\gamma \uparrow 0$$of the bottom negative eigenvalue of H_γ, which is born at the moment γ = 0 from the lower bound λ = 0 of the spectrum σ(H₀) of the unperturbed operator H₀ = ( − Δ)^l (a virtual eigenvalue). To this end we develop a supplement to the Birman-Schwinger theory on the process of the birth of eigenvalues in the gap of the spectrum of the unperturbed operator H₀. Furthermore, we extract a finite-rank portion Φ(λ) from the Birman- Schwinger operator $$X_V (\lambda ) = V^{\frac{1} {2}} R_\lambda (H_0 )V^{\frac{1}{2}} ,$$ which yields the leading terms for the desired asymptotic expansion.

On the peripheral spectrum of positive operators

We prove that ifE is a Banach lattice andS, T ∈ ℒ (E) are such that 0≦s≦T,r(s)=r(T) andr(T) is a Riesz point ofσ(T) thenr(S) is a Riesz point ofσ(S). We prove also some results on compact positive perturbations of positive irreducible operators and lattice homomorphisms.     

The smallest degree sum that yields potentially Kr,r-graphic sequences

We consider a variation of a classical Turán-type extremal problem as follows: Determine the smallest even integer σ(K_r,r,n) such that every n-term graphic sequence π = (d₁,d₂,...,d_n) with term sum σ(π) = d₁ + d₂ + ... + d_n ≥ σ(K_r,r,n) is potentially K_r,r-graphic, where K_r,r is an r × r complete bipartite graph, i.e. π has a realization G containing K_r,r as its subgraph. In this paper, the values σ(K_r,r,n) for even r and n ≥ 4r² - r - 6 and for odd r and n ≥ 4r² + 3r - 8 are determined.     

Inverse problems for Sturm—Liouville operators with potentials in Sobolev spaces: Uniform stability

Two inverse problems for the Sturm-Liouville operator Ly = s-y″ + q(x)y on the interval [0, fy] are studied. For θ ⩾ 0, there is a mapping F:W ₂^θ → l _B ^θ, F(σ) = {s _k }₁^∞, related to the first of these problems, where W ₂^∞ = W ₂^∞[0, π] is the Sobolev space, σ = ∫ q is a primitive of the potential q, and l _B ^θ is a specially constructed finite-dimensional extension of the weighted space l ₂^θ, where we place the regularized spectral data s = {s _k }₁^∞ in the problem of reconstruction from two spectra. The main result is uniform lower and upper bounds for ∥σ - σ₁∥_θ via the l _B ^θ-norm ∥s − s₁∥_θ of the difference of regularized spectral data. A similar result is obtained for the second inverse problem, that is, the problem of reconstructing the potential from the spectral function of the operator L generated by the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The result is new even for the classical case q ∈ L ₂, which corresponds to θ = 1.     

Large Monotone Paths in Graphs with Bounded Degree

 We prove that for every ε>0 and positive integer r, there exists Δ₀=Δ₀(ε) such that if Δ>Δ₀ and n>n(Δ,ε,r) then there exists a packing of K _n with ⌊(n−1)/Δ⌋ graphs, each having maximum degree at most Δ and girth at least r, where at most εn ² edges are unpacked. This result is used to prove the following: Let f be an assignment of real numbers to the edges of a graph G. Let α(G,f) denote the maximum length of a monotone simple path of G with respect to f. Let α(G) be the minimum of α(G,f), ranging over all possible assignments. Now let α_Δ be the maximum of α(G) ranging over all graphs with maximum degree at most Δ. We prove that Δ+1≥α_Δ≥Δ(1−o(1)). This extends some results of Graham and Kleitman [6] and of Calderbank et al. [4] who considered α(K _n ). Received: March 15, 1999?Final version received: October 22, 1999     

Stability of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-regularized Semigroups

Let T = (T(t))t≥0 be a bounded C-regularized semigroup generated by A on a Banach space X and R(C) be dense in X. We show that if there is a dense subspace Y of X such that for every x ∈ Y, σu(A, Cx), the set of all points λ ∈ iR to which (λ - A)^-1 Cx can not be extended holomorphically, is at most countable and σr(A) N iR = Ф, then T is stable. A stability result for the case of R(C) being non-dense is also given. Our results generalize the work on the stability of strongly continuous senfigroups.
