The authors prepared this booklet in order to make several useful topics from
the theory of special functions, in particular the spherical harmonics and
Legendre polynomials for any dimension, available to undergraduates studying
physics or mathematics. With this audience in mind, nearly all details of the
calculations and proofs are written out, and extensive background material is
covered before beginning the main subject matter. The reader is assumed to have
knowledge of multivariable calculus and linear algebra as well as some level of
comfort with reading proofs.
We show that any $N$-dimensional linear subspace of $L^2(\mathbb{T})$ admits
an orthonormal system such that the $L^2$ norm of the square variation operator
$V^2$ is as small as possible. When applied to the span of the trigonometric
system, we obtain an orthonormal system of trigonometric polynomials with a
$V^2$ operator that is considerably smaller than the associated operator for
the trigonometric system itself.
We improve the exponent in Bourgain's estimate \cite{Bo1} for the discrete
restriction to the $n$ dimensional sphere, from $p=\frac{2(n+1)}{n-3}$ to
$p=\frac{2n}{n-3}$, when $n\ge 6$.
In this paper we give a characterization of some classical q-orthogonal
polynomials in terms of a difference property of the associated Stieltjes
function, i.e this function solves a first order non-homogeneous q-difference
equation. The solutions of the aforementioned q-difference equation (given in
terms of hypergeometric series) for some canonical cases, namely, q-Charlier,
q-Kravchuk, q-Meixner and q-Hahn are worked out.
We consider the classical problem of estimating norm of the derivative of
algebraic polynomial via the norm of polynomial itself. The corresponding
extremal problem for general polynomials in uniform norm was solved by V.
Markov. In this note we solve analogous problem for monotone polynomials. As a
consequence, we find exact constant in Bernstein inequality for monotone
polynomials.
The J-matrix method is extended to difference and q-difference operators and
is applied to several explicit differential, difference, q-difference and
second order Askey-Wilson type operators. The spectrum and the spectral
measures are discussed in each case and the corresponding eigenfunction
expansion is written down explicitly in most cases. In some cases we encounter
new orthogonal polynomials with explicit three recurrence relations where
nothing is known about their explicit representations or orthogonality
measures.
We show that if a Barlow-Evans Markov process on a vermiculated space is
symmetric, then one can study the spectral properties of the corresponding
Laplacian using projective limits. For some examples, such as the Laakso spaces
and a Spierpinski P\^ate \`a Choux, one can develop a complete spectral theory,
including the eigenfunction expansions that are analogous to Fourier series.
Also, one can construct connected fractal spaces isospectral to the fractal
strings of Lapidus and van Frankenhuijsen.
For a given $\theta\in (-1,1)$, we find out all parameters $\alpha,\beta\in
\{0,1\}$ such that, there exists a linear combination of Jacobi polynomials
$J_{n+1}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)-C J_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)$ which generates a
Lobatto (Radau) positive quadrature formula of degree of exactness
\textcolor{red}{$2n+2$ ($2n+1$)} and contains the point $\theta$ as a node.
These positive quadratures are very useful in studying problems in one-sided
polynomial $L_1$ approximation.
The location and asymptotic behaviour for large n of the zeros of exceptional
Jacobi and Laguerre polynomials are discussed. The zeros of exceptional
polynomials fall into two classes: the regular zeros, which lie in the interval
of orthogonality and the exceptional zeros, which lie outside that interval. We
show that the regular zeros have two interlacing properties: one is the natural
interlacing between consecutive polynomials as a consequence of their
Sturm-Liouville character, while the other one shows interlacing between the
zeros of exceptional and classical polynomials.
We show the pointwise version of the Ste\v{c}kin theorem on approximation by
de la Vall\'ee-Poussin means. The result on norm approximation is also derived.
Typically, models with a heterogeneous property are considerably harder to
analyze than the corresponding homogeneous models, in which the heterogeneous
property is replaced with its average value. In this study we show that any
outcome of a heterogeneous model that satisfies the two properties of
differentiability and interchangibility is O(\epsilon^2) equivalent to the
outcome of the corresponding homogeneous model, where \epsilon is the level of
heterogeneity.
1.When equipped with 2-rough norm and restricted to continuous paths with
bounded variation, the area operator is a closable unbounded operator. 2.The
area defined through Riemann-Stieltjes integral is the only possible candidate
to enhance a path with vanishing 2-variation into a geometric 2-rough path.
3.Young integral is extended to p^-1+q^-1=1 by assigning a finer scale
continuity.
Sufficient geometric conditions are given which determine when the
Cauchy-Pexider functional equation f(x)g(y)=h(x+y) restricted to x,y lying on a
hypersurface in R^d has only solutions which extend uniquely to exponential
affine functions. Some related functional equations are also considered.
In this paper, we prove some new inequalities of Hadamard-type for convex
functions on the co-ordinates.
In this paper, we determine all irreducible spherical functions \Phi of any K
-type associated to the pair (G,K)=(\SO(4),\SO(3)). This is accomplished by
associating to \Phi a vector valued function H=H(u) of a real variable u, which
is analytic at u=0 and whose components are solutions of two coupled systems of
ordinary differential equations. By an appropriate conjugation involving Hahn
polynomials we uncouple one of the systems. Then this is taken to an uncoupled
system of hypergeometric equations, leading to a vector valued solution P=P(u)
whose entries are Gegenbauer's polynomials.
The Cantor ladder is naturally included into various families of self-similar
functions. In the frame of these families we study the asymptotics of some
parametric integrals.
Lie symmetries of systems of second-order linear ordinary differential
equations with constant coefficients are exhaustively described. Exact
estimates for the dimensions of the maximal Lie invariance algebras possessed
by such systems are obtained using an effective algebraic approach.
Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$. By
spectral theory, we can define the operator $F(L)$, which is bounded on
$L^2(X)$, for any bounded Borel function $F$. In this paper, we study the sharp
weighted $L^p$ estimates for spectral multipliers $F(L)$ and their commutators
$[b, F(L)]$ with BMO functions $b$. We would like to emphasize that the
Gaussian upper bound condition on the heat kernels associated to the semigroups
$e^{-tL}$ is not assumed in this paper.
We define a class of functions which have a known decay rate coupled with a
periodic fluctuation. We identify conditions on the kernel of a linear
summation convolution Volterra equation which give the equivalence of the
kernel lying in this class of functions and the solution lying in this class of
functions. Some specific examples are examined. In particular this theory is
used to provide a counter--example to a result regarding the rate of decay of
the auto--covariance function of an ARCH($\infty$) process.
We establish weighted $L^p$ inequalities for pseudo-differential operators
with amplitudes and their commutators by using the new class of weights
$A_p^\vc$ and the new BMO function spaces BMO$_\vc$ which are larger than the
Muckenhoupt class of weights $A_p$ and classical BMO space BMO, respectively.
The obtained results therefore improve some well-known results.
Carleson measures are ubiquitous in Harmonic Analysis. In the paper of
Fefferman--Kenig--Pipher in 1991 an interesting class of Carleson measures was
introduced for the need of regularity problems of elliptic PDE. These Carleson
measures were associated with $A_\infty$ weights. In discrete setting (we need
exactly discrete setting here) they were studied by Buckley's, where they were
associated with dyadic $A\infty^d$. Our goal here is to show that such
Carleson--Buckley measures (in discrete setting) exists for virtually any
positive function (weight).
Orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle and the theory of Toda-like
integrable systems are connected using the Gauss--Borel factorization of a
Cantero-Moral-Velazquez moment matrix, which is constructed in terms of a
complex quasi-definite measure supported in the unit circle. The factorization
of the moment matrix leads to orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle
and the corresponding second kind functions.
We prove a formula for the $n$-th derivative of the period function $T$ in a
period annulus of a planar differential system. For $n = 1$, we obtain Freire,
Gasull and Guillamon formula for the period's first derivative \cite{FGG}. We
apply such a result to hamiltonian systems with separable variables and other
systems. We give some sufficient conditions for the period function of
conservative second order O.D.E.'s to be convex.
Any Calderon-Zygmund operator T is pointwise dominated by a convergent sum of
positive dyadic operators. We give an elementary self-contained proof of this
fact, which is simpler than the probabilistic arguments used for all previous
results in this direction. Our argument also applies to the q-variation of
certain Calderon-Zygmund operators, a stronger nonlinearity than the maximal
truncations. As an application, we obtain new sharp weighted inequalities.
In this paper, some new inequalities of the Hermite-Hadamard type for h-
convex functions whose modulus of the derivatives are h-convex and applications
for special means are given.
In this paper we establish some new inequalities of Hadamard-type for product
of convex and s-convex functions in the second sense.
We consider two positive, normalized measures dA(x) and dB(x) related by the
relationship dA(x)=(C/(x+D))dB(x) or by dA(x) = (C/(x^{2}+E))dB(x) and dB(x) is
symmetric. We show that then the polynomials sequences {a_{n}(x)}, {b_{n}(x)}
orthogonal with respect to these measures are related by the relationship
a_{n}(x)=b_{n}(x)+{\kappa}_{n}b_{n-1}(x) or by a_{n}(x) = b_{n}(x) +
{\lambda}_{n}b_{n-2}(x) for some sequences {{\kappa}_{n}} and {{\lambda}_{n}}.
We present several examples illustrating this fact and also present some
attempts for generalizations.
If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a
weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We
determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq\RR^n$ in the sense of
descriptive set theoretic complexity such that every weak contraction $f\colon
X\to X$ is constant. In order to do so, we prove that there exists a non-closed
$F_{\sigma}$ set $F\subseteq \RR$ such that every weak contraction $f\colon
F\to F$ is constant.
Let R_\alpha be the Riesz distribution on a simple Euclidean Jordan algebra,
parametrized by the complex number \alpha. I give an elementary proof of the
necessary and sufficient condition for R_\alpha to be a locally finite complex
measure (= complex Radon measure).
Let D be a planar Lipschitz domain and consider the Beurling transform of the
characteristic function of D, B(1_D). Let 1<p<\infty and 0<a<1 with ap>1. In
this paper we show that if the outward unit normal N on bD, the boundary of D,
belongs to the Besov space B_{p,p}^{a-1/p}(bD), then the Beurling transform of
1_D is in the Sobolev space W^{a,p}(D). This result is sharp. Further, together
with recent results by Cruz, Mateu and Orobitg, this implies that the Beurling
transform is bounded in W^{a,p}(D) if N belongs to B_{p,p}^{a-1/p}(bD),
assuming that ap>2.
In this paper, we establish several inequalities for s-convex mappings that
are connected with the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. Our results have
some relationships with certain integral inequalities in the literature.
We study an extension to Fourier transforms of the old problem on absolute
convergence of the re-expansion in the sine (cosine) Fourier series of an
absolutely convergent cosine (sine) Fourier series. The results are obtained by
revealing certain relations between the Fourier transforms and their Hilbert
transforms.
We provide a general scheme for proving $L^p$ estimates for certain bilinear
Fourier restrictions outside the locally $L^2$ setting. As an application, we
show how such estimates follow for the lacunary polygon. In contrast with prior
approaches, our argument avoids any use of the Rubio de Francia
Littlewood--Paley inequality.
In this paper, we consider some cubic near-Hamiltonian systems obtained from
perturbing the symmetric cubic Hamiltonian system with two symmetric singular
points by cubic polynomials. First, following Han [2012] we develop a method to
study the analytical property of the Melnikov function near the origin for
near-Hamiltonian system having the origin as its elementary center or nilpotent
center.
We present an unexpected application of tropical convexity to the
determination of invariants for linear systems of differential equations. We
show that the classical G\'erard-Levelt lattice saturation procedure can be
geometrically understood in terms of a projection on the tropical linear space
attached to a subset of the local affine Bruhat-Tits building, that we call the
G\'erard-Levelt membrane. This provides a way to compute the true Poincar\'e
rank, but also the Katz rank of a meromorphic connection without having to
perform gauge transforms nor ramifications of the variable.
There exists a remarkable connection between the quantum mechanical
Landau-Zener problem and purely classical-mechanical problem of a ball rolling
on a Cornu spiral. This correspondence allows us to calculate a complicated
multiple integral, a kind of multi-dimensional generalization of Fresnel
integrals. A direct method of calculation is also considered but found to be
successful only in some low-dimensional cases. As a byproduct of this direct
method, an interesting new integral representation for $\zeta(2)$ is obtained.
Let $\varphi: \mathbb R^n\times [0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ be a function such
that $\varphi(x,\cdot)$ is an Orlicz function and $\varphi(\cdot,t)$ is a
Muckenhoupt $A_\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)$ weight. In this paper, the authors
establish the Lusin area function and the molecular characterizations of the
Musielak-Orlicz Hardy space $H_\varphi(\mathbb{R}^n)$ introduced by Luong Dang
Ky via the grand maximal function.
We study boundedness properties of a class of multiparameter paraproducts on
the dual space of the dyadic Hardy space H_d^1(T^N), the dyadic product BMO
space BMO_d(T^N). For this, we introduce a notion of logarithmic mean
oscillation on the polydisc. We also obtain a result on the boundedness of
iterated commutators on BMO([0,1]^2).
For the polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the measure
from the Szego class we prove that the polynomial entropy integrals can grow.
The estimate obtained is sharp.
We find a formula that relates the Fourier transform of a radial function on
$\mathbf{R}^n$ with the Fourier transform of the same function defined on
$\mathbf{R}^{n+2}$. This formula enables one to explicitly calculate the
Fourier transform of any radial function $f(r)$ in any dimension, provided one
knows the Fourier transform of the one-dimensional function $t\to f(|t|)$ and
the two-dimensional function $(x_1,x_2)\to f(|(x_1,x_2)|)$. We prove analogous
results for radial tempered distributions.
If a pair of functions nearly extremizes Young's convolution inequality for
R^d, with all three exponents finite and strictly greater than 1, then each
function is close in norm to a Gaussian. The proof relies on the Riesz-Sobolev
rearrangement inequality and in particular, on an approximate inverse
Riesz-Sobolev inequality established in a companion paper.
In 1986 J. Nuttall published in Constructive Approximation the paper
"Asymptotics of generalized Jacobi polynomials", where with his usual insight
he studied the behavior of the denominators ("generalized Jacobi polynomials")
and the remainders of the Pade approximants to a special class of algebraic
functions with 3 branch points. 25 years later we try to look at this problem
from a modern perspective. On one hand, the generalized Jacobi polynomials
constitute an instance of the so-called Heine-Stieltjes polynomials, i.e. they
are solutions of linear ODE with polynomial coefficients.
A result concerning the Ces\`aro summability of functions on the cylinder in
the L^p norms is presented, where the cylinder is B^d \times I^m, with I = [-1,
1] and B^d being the d-dimensional unit ball. An upper bound for critical index
{\delta} is obtained.
Porosity and dimension are two useful, but different, concepts that quantify
the size of fractal sets and measures. An active area of research concerns
understanding the relationship between these two concepts. In this article we
will survey the various notions of porosity of sets and measures that have been
proposed, and how they relate to dimension. Along the way, we will introduce
the idea of local entropy averages, which arose in a different context, and was
then applied to obtain a bound for the dimension of mean porous measures.
In this paper we adapt the technique developed in [5] to show that many
harmonic analysis operators in the Bessel setting, including maximal operators,
Littlewood-Paley-Stein type square functions, multipliers of Laplace or
Laplace-Stieltjes transform type and Riesz transforms are, or can be viewed as,
Calder\'on-Zygmund operators for all possible values of type parameter
$\lambda$ in this context. This extends the results obtained recently in [3],
which are valid only for a restricted range of $\lambda$.
Turan's method, as expressed in his books, is a careful study of
trigonometric polynomials from different points of view. The present article
starts from a problem asked by Turan: how to construct a sequence of real
numbers x(j) (j= 1,2,...n) such that the almost periodic polynomial whose
frequencies are the x(j) and the coefficients are 1 are small (say, their
absolute values are less than n d, d< given) for all integral values of the
variable m between 1 and M= M(n,d) ? The best known answer is a random choice
of the x(j) modulo 1.
This paper shows a short and simple way of solving a linear ordinary
differential equation with constant real coefficients P(d/dt)x = f, f a
function given by a linear combination of polynomials, trigonometrical and
exponential real functions products, reducing the equation to the trivial case
in which f is a polynomial, thus avoiding the method of determining
coefficients and also the annihilator method.
In this paper, we study the necessary conditions and sufficient conditions
for the twisted angles of the central configurations formed by two twisted
regular polygons, specially, we prove that for the 2N-body problems, the
twisted angles must be$\theta=0 {or} \theta=\pi/N$.
The discrete Chebyshev polynomials $t_n(x,N)$ are orthogonal with respect to
a distribution function, which is a step function with jumps one unit at the
points $x=0,1,..., N-1$, N being a fixed positive integer. By using a double
integral representation, we derive two asymptotic expansions for
$t_{n}(aN,N+1)$ in the double scaling limit, namely, $N\rightarrow\infty$ and
$n/N\rightarrow b$, where $b\in(0,1)$ and $a\in(-\infty,\infty)$.
We investigate the Pompeiu property for subsets of the real line, under no
assumption of connectedness. In particular we focus our study on finite unions
of bounded (disjoint) intervals, and we emphasize the different results
corresponding to the cases where the function in question is supposed to have
constant integral on all isometric images, or just on all the
translation-images of the domain.
Many special functions are solutions of first order linear systems
$y_n'(x)=a_n(x)y_n(x)+d_n(x)y_{n-1}(x)$,
$y_{n-1}'(x)=b_n(x)y_{n-1}(x)+e_{n}(x)y_n(x)$. We obtain bounds for the ratios
$y_n(x)/y_{n-1}(x)$ and the logarithmic derivatives of $y_n(x)$ for solutions
of monotonic systems satisfying certain initial conditions. For the case
$d_n(x)e_n(x)>0$, sequences of upper and lower bounds can be obtained by
iterating the recurrence relation; for minimal solutions of the recurrence
these are convergent sequences.
We derive simple linear, inhomogeneous recurrences for the variance of the
index by utilising the fact that the generating function for the distribution
of the number of positive eigenvalues of a Gaussian unitary ensemble is a
$\tau$-function of the fourth Painlev\'e equation. From this we deduce a simple
summation formula, several integral representations and finally an exact
hypergeometric function evaluation for the variance.
In these informal notes, we continue to explore p-adic versions of Heisenberg
groups and some of their variants, including the structure of the corresponding
Cantor sets.
In this paper we extend the results of the research started by the first
author, in which Karlin-McGregor diagonalization of certain reversible Markov
chains over countably infinite general state spaces by orthogonal polynomials
was used to estimate the rate of convergence to a stationary distribution.
In this paper we provide theoretical results that relate steady states of
continuous and discrete models arising from biology.
We prove a single sum formula for the linearization coefficients of the
Bessel polynomials. In two special cases we show that our formula reduces
indeed to Berg and Vignat's formulas in their proof of the positivity results
about these coefficients (Constructive Approximation, 27(2008), 15-32). As a
bonus we also obtain a generalization of an integral formula of Boros and Moll
(J. Comput. Appl. Math. 106 (1999), 361-368).
Consider the Fourier restriction operator associated to a curve in $R^d$,
$d\ge 3$. We prove for various classes of curves the endpoint restricted strong
type estimate with respect to affine arclength measure on the curve. An
essential ingredient is an interpolation result for multilinear operators with
symmetries acting on sequences of vector-valued functions.
It it known that extremizers for the $L^2$ to $L^6$ adjoint Fourier
restriction inequality on the cone in $\mathbbm R^3$ exist. Here we show that
nonnegative extremizing sequences are precompact, after the application of
symmetries of the cone. If we use the knowledge of the exact form of the
extremizers, as found by Carneiro, then we can show that nonnegative
extremizing sequences converge, after the application of symmetries.
We extend the definitions of dyadic paraproduct and $t$-Haar multipliers to
dyadic operators that depend on the complexity $(m,n)$, for $m$ and $n$
positive integers. We will use the ideas developed by Nazarov and Volberg to
prove that the weighted $L^2(w)$-norm of a paraproduct with complexity $(m,n)$
associated to a function $b\in BMO$, depends linearly on the
$A_2$-characteristic of the weight $w$, linearly on the $BMO$-norm of $b$, and
polynomially in the complexity. This argument provides a new proof of the
linear bound for the dyadic paraproduct (the one with complexity $(0,0)$).
We obtain existence and uniqueness for odd second order oscillators in the
space of odd functions without topological assumptions on the nonlinear part.
For every natural number $T,$ we write $\Ln T$ as a series, generalizing the
known series for $\Ln 2.$
We use the recent findings of Cohl [arXiv:1105.2735] and evaluate the
principal and the residual values of the integral
$\int_{-1}^{1}\mathrm{d}t\:(1-t^{2})^{\lambda-1/2}(x-t)^{-\kappa-1/2}C_{n}^{\lambda}(t)$,
with $\textrm{Re}(\lambda)>-1/2$, $\kappa\in\mathbb{C}$, $-1<x<1$, where
$C_{n}^{\lambda}(t)$ is the Gegenbauer polynomial.
In this article, the study of the orthogonality properties of $q$-polynomials
of the Hahn class started in the initial article by R. \'{A}lvarez-Nodarse, R.
Sevinik-Ad\i g{\"{u}}zel, and H. Ta\c{s}eli, \textit{On the orthogonality of
$q$-classical polynomials of the Hahn class I} is proceeded.
The central idea behind this article is to discuss in a unified sense the
orthogonality of all possible polynomial solutions of the $q$-hypergeometric
difference equation on a $q$-linear lattice by means of a qualitative analysis
of the relevant $q$-Pearson equation. To be more specific, a geometrical
approach has been used by taking into account every possible rational form of
the polynomial coefficients, together with various relative positions of their
zeros, in the $q$-Pearson equation to describe a desired $q$-weight function on
a suitable orthogonality interval.
In this paper the Krall-type polynomials obtained via the addition of two
mass points to the weight function of the \textit{standard} $q$-Racah
polynomials are introduced. Several algebraic properties of these polynomials
are obtained and some of their limit cases are discussed.
Relaxation theorems for multiple integrals on W^{1,p}(\Omega;\RR^m), where
p\in]1,\infty[, are proved under general conditions on the integrand
L:\MM\to[0,\infty] which is Borel measurable and not necessarily finite. We
involve a localization principle that we previously used to prove a general
lower semicontinuity result.
In this paper we study multi-parameter projection theorems for fractal sets.
With the help of these estimates, we recover results about the size of $A \cdot
A+...+A \cdot A$, where $A$ is a subset of the real line of a given Hausdorff
dimension, $A+A=\{a+a': a,a' \in A \}$ and $A \cdot A=\{a \cdot a': a,a' \in
A\}$. We also use projection results and inductive arguments to show that if a
Hausdorff dimension of a subset of ${\Bbb R}^d$ is sufficiently large, then the
${k+1 \choose 2}$-dimensional Lebesgue measure of the set of $k$-simplexes
determined by this set is positive.
We isolate a general condition on L:\MM\to[0,\infty], assumed to be
continuous, under which W^{1,q}-quasiconvexity with q\in[1,\infty] is a
sufficient condition for I(u)=\int_\Omega L(\nabla u(x))dx to be sequentially
weakly lower semicontinuous on W^{1,p}(\Omega;\RR^m) with p\in]1,\infty[.
Based on R. W. Gosper's $q$-trigonometry and his conjectures, we give new
formulae for some specific values of the Jacobi theta function of index one.
The calculations strenghten Gosper's conjecture on his addition formulas.
We study the notion of regular singularities for parameterized complex
ordinary linear differential systems, prove an analogue of the Schlesinger
theorem for systems with regular singularities and solve both a parameterized
version of the weak Riemann-Hilbert Problem and a special case of the inverse
problem in parameterized Picard-Vessiot theory.
The critical and asymptotic behaviors of solutions of the sixth Painlev\'e
equation, an their parametrization in terms of monodromy data, are
synthetically reviewed. The explicit formulas are given.
On a metric measure space satisfying the doubling property, we establish
several optimal characterizations of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces,
including a pointwise characterization. Moreover, we discuss their
(non)triviality under a Poincar\'e inequality.
In this paper matrix orthogonal polynomials in the real line are described in
terms of a Riemann--Hilbert problem. This approach provides an easy derivation
of discrete equations for the corresponding matrix recursion coefficients. The
discrete equation is explicitly derived in the matrix Freud case, associated
with matrix quartic potentials.
We study the properties of the logarithm of the derivative operator and show
that its action on a constant is not zero, but yields the sum of the
logarithmic function and the Euler-Mascheroni constant. We discuss more general
aspects concerning the logarithm of an operator for the study of the properties
of the Bessel functions.
An operatorial method, already employed to formulate a generalization of the
Ramanujan master theorem, is applied to the evaluation of integrals of various
type. This technique provide a very flexible and powerful tool yielding new
results encompassing various aspects of the special function theory.
We show that the coefficients of the three-term recurrence relation for
orthogonal polynomials with respect to a semi-classical extension of the
Laguerre weight satisfy the fourth Painlev\'e equation when viewed as functions
of one of the parameters in the weight. We compare different approaches to
derive this result, namely, the ladder operators approach, the isomonodromy
deformations approach and combining the Toda system for the recurrence
coefficients with a discrete equation.
In this paper, we will study a notable class of Fourier series. The results
concerning pointwise convergence of these Fourier series will be obtained.
In this paper a new integral for the remainder of $\pi(x)$ is obtained. It is
proved that there is an infinite set of the formulae containing miscellaneous
parts of this integral.
In this paper we alternatively prove that the function $x^\alpha
\big[\ln\frac{px}{x+p}-\psi_p(x)\big]$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$
if and only if $\alpha \le 1$, where $p\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\psi_p(x)$ is the
$p$-analogue of the classical psi function $\psi(x)$. This generalizes a known
result.
In this paper we obtain the $L^p$-boundedness of Riesz transforms for Dunkl
transform for all $1<p<\infty$.
In this note we introduce three problems related to the topic of finite
Hausdorff moments. Generally speaking, given the first n+1 (n in N or n=0)
moments, alpha(0), alpha(1),..., alpha(n), of a real-valued continuously
differentiable function f defined on [0,1], what can be said about the size of
the image of df/dx? We make the questions more precise and we give answers in
the cases of three or fewer moments and in some cases for four moments.
We obtain simple proofs of certain inequalites for bivariate means.
Let $b$ be a $BMO$-function. It is well-known that the linear commutator $[b,
T]$ of a Calder\'on-Zygmund operator $T$ does not, in general, map continuously
$H^1(\mathbb R^n)$ into $L^1(\mathbb R^n)$. However, P\'erez \cite{Pe} showed
that if $H^1(\mathbb R^n)$ is replaced by a suitable atomic subspace $\mathcal
H^1_b(\mathbb R^n)$ then the commutator is continuous from $\mathcal
H^1_b(\mathbb R^n)$ into $L^1(\mathbb R^n)$.
We analyze the Synchrosqueezing transform, a consistent and invertible
time-frequency analysis tool that can identify and extract oscillating
components (of time-varying frequency and amplitude) from regularly sampled
time series. We first describe a fast algorithm implementing the transform.
Second, we show Synchrosqueezing is robust to bounded perturbations of the
signal. This stability property extends the applicability of Synchrosqueezing
to the analysis of nonuniformly sampled and noisy time series, which are
ubiquitous in engineering and the natural sciences.
The distribution of the poles of branches of the Painleve' VI transcendents
associated to semi-simple Frobenius manifolds is determined close to a critical
point. It is shown that the poles accumulate at the critical point,
asymptotically along two rays. The example of the Frobenius manifold given by
the quantum cohomology of the two-dimensional complex projective space is also
considered.
In this paper, we discuss foliations by real curves. We investigate
differential equations which are modifications of du/dx = v along leaves. Our
focus is on having a solution operator so that u is continuous if v is
continuous.
For fixed $u$ and $v$ such that $0\leq u<v<1/2$, the monotonicity of the
quotients of Jacobi theta functions, namely, $\theta_{j}(u|i\pi
t)/\theta_{j}(v|i\pi t)$, $j=1, 2, 3, 4$, on $0<t<\infty$ has been established
in the previous works of A.Yu. Solynin, K. Schiefermayr, and Solynin and the
first author. In the present paper, we show that the quotients
$\theta_{2}(u|i\pi t)/\theta_{2}(v|i\pi t)$ and $\theta_{3}(u|i\pi
t)/\theta_{3}(v|i\pi t)$ are convex on $0<t<\infty$.
We provide evaluations of several recently studied higher and multiple Mahler
measures using log-sine integrals. This is complemented with an analysis of
generating functions and identities for log-sine integrals which allows the
evaluations to be expressed in terms of zeta values or more general
polylogarithmic terms. The machinery developed is then applied to evaluation of
further families of multiple Mahler measures.
In this article we introduce a definition of topological minimal sets, which
is a generalization of that of Mumford-Shah-minimal sets. We prove some general
properties as well as two existence theorems for topological minimal sets. As
an application we prove the topological minimality of the union of two almost
orthogonal planes in $\R^4$, and use it to improve the angle criterion under
which the union of several higher dimensional planes is Almgren-minimal.
We introduce a new class of Hardy spaces $H^{\phi(\cdot,\cdot)}(\mathbb
R^n)$, called Hardy spaces of Musielak-Orlicz type, which generalize the
Hardy-Orlicz spaces of Janson and the weighted Hardy spaces of Garc\'ia-Cuerva,
Str\"omberg, and Torchinsky. Here, $\phi: \mathbb R^n\times [0,\infty)\to
[0,\infty)$ is a function such that $\phi(x,\cdot)$ is an Orlicz function and
$\phi(\cdot,t)$ is a Muckenhoupt $A_\infty$ weight. A function $f$ belongs to
$H^{\phi(\cdot,\cdot)}(\mathbb R^n)$ if and only if its maximal function $f^*$
is so that $x\mapsto \phi(x,|f^*(x)|)$ is integrable.
In this paper we present several applications of Cartwright-Field's
inequality. Among these we found Young's inequality, Bernoulli's inequality,
the inequality between the weighted power means, H\"{o}lder's inequality and
Cauchy's inequality. We give also two applications related to arithmetic
functions and to operator inequalities.
We continue the analysis of higher and multiple Mahler measures using
log-sine integrals as started in "Log-sine evaluations of Mahler measures" and
"Special values of generalized log-sine integrals" by two of the authors. This
motivates a detailed study of various multiple polylogarithms and worked
examples are given. Our techniques enable the reduction of several multiple
Mahler measures, and supply an easy proof of two conjectures by Boyd.
A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p(\TT)$,
$p\in(1,+\infty)$, its Fourier series $(S_nf(x))$ converges for almost every
$x\in \mathbb T$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point,
without exceeding $O(n^{1/p})$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the
infimum of the positive real numbers $\beta$ such that $S_nf(x)=O(n^\beta)$ and
we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_\beta$, namely the
sets of $x\in\mathbb T$ with divergence index equal to $\beta$.
In this paper we present a theory of vessels, defined originally by M. S.
Livsic and studied in the Phd thesis of the author. A vessel is a collection of
two Hilbert spaces and operators acting between them with certain properties.
Although we present vessels in a full generality at the beginning, we consider
as an application a special case, corresponding to one dimensional Schrodinger
equation (or Sturm Liouville equation) with a spectral parameter s:
$-\frac{d^2}{dx^2} y(x) + q(x) y(x) = s^2 y(x)$.
Let $L=-\Delta+V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator acting on $L^2(\mathbb R^n)$,
$n\ge1$, where $V\not\equiv 0$ is a nonnegative locally integrable function on
$\mathbb R^n$. In this article, by using the atomic decomposition theory of
weighted Hardy spaces $H^1_L(w)$ associated to $L$, we will obtain the
imaginary power $L^{i\gamma}$ is bounded from $H^1_L(w)$ to $L^1(w)$ whenever
$w\in A_1\cap RH_2$, and the fractional integral operator $L^{-\alpha/2}$ is
bounded from $H^1_L(w)$ to $L^q(w^q)$, where $0<\alpha<n/2$, $1/q=1-\alpha/n$
and $w\in A_1\cap RH_2$.
We prove that if $\phi: {\Bbb R}^d \times {\Bbb R}^d \to {\Bbb R}$, $d \ge
2$, is a homogeneous function, smooth away from the origin and having non-zero
Monge-Ampere determinant away from the origin, then $$ R^{-d} # \{(n,m) \in
{\Bbb Z}^d \times {\Bbb Z}^d: |n|, |m| \leq CR; R \leq \phi(n,m) \leq R+\delta
\} \lesssim \max \{R^{d-2+\frac{2}{d+1}}, R^{d-1} \delta \}.$$
We exhibit a remarkable connection between sixth equation of Painleve list
and infinite families of explicitly uniformizable algebraic curves. Fuchsian
equations, congruences for group transformations, differential calculus of
functions and differentials on corresponding Riemann surfaces, Abelian
integrals, analytic connections (generalizations of Chazy's equations), and
other attributes of uniformization can be obtained for these curves.
We consider a multi-parameter family of canonical coordinates and mirror maps
o\ riginally introduced by Zudilin [Math. Notes 71 (2002), 604-616]. This
family includes many of the known one-variable mirror maps as special cases, in
particular many of modular origin and the celebrated example of Candelas, de la
Ossa, Green and\
In this note we introduce and define half Cauchy sequences. We prove that a
sequence of real numbers is convergent if and only if it is bounded and half
Cauchy. We also provide an example of how the concept may be used.
Let F be a differential field of characteristic zero. In this article, we
construct Picard-Vessiot extensions of F whose differential Galois group is
isomorphic to the full unipotent subgroup of the upper triangular group defined
over the field of constants of F. We will also give a procedure to compute
linear differential operators for our Picard-Vessiot extensions. We do not
require the condition that the field of constants be algebraically closed.
We develop a fundamental framework for and extend the theory of rough paths
to Lipschitz-gamma manifolds.
We consider measures supported on the bi-circle and review the recurrence
relations satisfied by the orthogonal polynomials associated with these
measures constructed using the lexicographical or reverse lexicographical
ordering. New relations are derived among these recurrence coefficients. We
extend the results of [8] on a parameterization for Bernstein-Szego measures
supported on the bi-circle.
When the independent variable is close to a critical point, it is shown that
PVI can be asymptotically reduced to PIII. In this way, it is possible to
compute the leading term of the critical behaviors of PVI transcendents
starting from the behaviors of PIII transcendents.
In the paper, we establish an inequality involving the gamma and digamma
functions and use it to prove the negativity and monotonicity of a function
involving the gamma and digamma functions.
In this paper, we use what we call the shift operator so that general delay
dynamic equations of the form \[
x^{\Delta}(t)=a(t)x(t)+b(t)x(\delta_{-}(h,t))\delta_{-}^{\Delta}% (h,t),\ \ \
t\in\lbrack t_{0},\infty)_{\mathbb{T}}% \] can be analyzed with respect to
stability and existence of solutions. By means of the shift operators we define
a general delay function opening an avenue for the construction of Lyapunov
functional on time scales. Thus, we use the Lyapunov's direct method to obtain
inequalities that lead to stability and instability.
In 1969, Vic Klee asked whether a convex body is uniquely determined (up to
translation and reflection in the origin) by its inner section function, the
function giving for each direction the maximal area of sections of the body by
hyperplanes orthogonal to that direction. We answer this question in the
negative by constructing two infinitely smooth convex bodies of revolution
about the $x_n$-axis in $\R^n$, $n\ge 3$, one origin symmetric and the other
not centrally symmetric, with the same inner section function. Moreover, the
pair of bodies can be arbitrarily close to the unit ball.
We study the Walsh-Fourier series of S_{n_j}f, along a lacunary subsequence
of integers {n_j}. Under a suitable integrability condition, we show that the
sequence converges to f a.e. Integral condition is only slightly larger than
what the sharp integrability condition would be, by a result of Konyagin. The
condition is: f is in L loglog L (logloglog L).
We consider the moments of products of complete elliptic integrals of the
first and second kinds. In particular, we derive new results using elementary
means, aided by computer experimentation and a theorem of W. Zudilin. Diverse
related evaluations, and two conjectures, are also given.
We study homogenization by Gamma-convergence of periodic multiple integrals
of the calculus of variations when the integrand can take infinite values
outside of a convex set of matrices.
We apply the Bennett-Carbery-Tao multilinear restriction estimate in order to
bound restriction operators and more general oscillatory integral operators. We
get improved L^p estimates in the Stein restriction problem for dimension at
least 5 and a small improvement in dimension 3. We also get improved estimates
on Hormander-type oscillatory integral operators when the dimension is even or
when the quadratic term in the phase function is positive definite. The
oscillatory estimates are related to improved bounds on the dimensions of
curved Kakeya sets in even dimensions.
In this paper, we give the expressions for the bounded spherical functions,
or equivalently the spherical functions of positive type, for the free two-step
nilpotent Lie groups endowed with the actions of orthogonal groups or their
special subgroups. Next we deduce some results about the (Kohn) sub-Laplacian,
and we compute the radial Plancherel measure.
The Marcinkiewicz integral is essentially a Littlewood-Paley $g$-function,
which plays a important role in harmonic analysis. In this article, by using
the atomic decomposition theory of weighted Hardy spaces and homogeneous
weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces, we will obtain some weighted weak type
estimates for Marcinkiewicz integrals on these spaces.
In 1997, Thomas Wolff proved sharp $L^3$ bounds for his circular maximal
function, and in 1999, Kolasa and Wolff proved certain non-sharp $L^p$
inequalities for a broader class of maximal functions arising from curves of
the form $\{\Phi(x,\cdot)=r\}$, where $\Phi(x,y)$ satisfied Sogge's cinematic
curvature condition. Under the additional hypothesis that $\Phi$ is algebraic,
we obtain a sharp $L^3$ bound on the corresponding maximal function. Since the
function $\Phi(x,y)=|x-y|$ is algebraic and satisfies the cinematic curvature
condition, our result generalizes Wolff's $L^3$ bound.
By systematically applying ten well-known and inequivalent two-part relations
between hypergeometric sums 3F2(...|1) to the published database of all such
sums, 62 new sums are obtained. The existing literature is summarized, and many
purportedly novel results extracted from that literature are shown to be
special cases of these new sums. The general problem of finding elements
contiguous to Watson's, Dixon's and Whipple's theorems is reduced to a simple
algorithm suitable for machine computation. Several errors in the literature
are corrected or noted.
In this paper we obtained some new Hadamard-Type inequalities for functions
whose derivatives absolute values m-convex. Some applications to special means
of real numbers are given.
We give equivalent forms of Askey-Wilson (AW) polynomials expressing them
with a help of Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials. After restricting parameters of AW
polynomials to complex conjugate pairs we give probabilistic interpretation of
AW weight function and expand it in the series similar to Poisson-Mehler
expansion formula and give its probabilistic interpretation. On the way (by
setting certain parameter q to to 0) we get some formulae useful in rapidly
developing so called 'free probability'.
We consider the double scaling limit for a model of $n$ non-intersecting
squared Bessel processes in the confluent case: all paths start at time $t=0$
at the same positive value $x=a$, remain positive, and are conditioned to end
at time $t=1$ at $x=0$. After appropriate rescaling, the paths fill a region in
the $tx$--plane as $n\to \infty$ that intersects the hard edge at $x=0$ at a
critical time $t=t^{*}$.
We investigate $g$-functions and Lusin's area type integrals related to
certain multi-dimensional Dunkl and Laguerre settings. We prove that the
considered square functions are bounded on weighted $L^p$, $1<p<\infty$, and
from $L^1$ into weak $L^1$.
The measure on generalized solenoids constructed using filters by Dutkay and
Jorgensen is analyzed further by writing the solenoid as the product of a torus
and a Cantor set. Using this decomposition, key differences are revealed
between solenoid measures associated with classical filters in $\mathbb R^d$
and those associated with filters on inflated fractal sets.
