We give sufficient conditions for a diffeomorphism in the plane to be analytically conjugate to a shift in a complex neighborhood of a segment of an invariant curve. For a family of functions close to the identity uniform estimates are established. As a consequence an exponential upper estimate for splitting of separatrices is established for diffeomorphisms of the plane close to the identity. The constant in the exponent is related to the width of the analyticity domain of the limit flow separatrix....

In two fundamental classical papers, Masur [14] and Veech [21] have independently proved that the Teichmüller geodesic flow acts ergodically on each connected component of each stratum of the moduli space of quadratic differentials. It is therefore interesting to have a classification of the ergodic components. Veech has proved that these strata are not necessarily connected. In a recent work [8], Kontsevich and Zorich have completely classified the components in the particular case where the quadratic...

We prove that the Carathéodory discs for doubly connected domains in the complex plane are connected.

Diversities are like metric spaces, except that every finite subset, instead of just every pair of points, is assigned a value. Just as there is a theory of minimal distortion embeddings of fiite metric spaces into L1, there is a similar, yet undeveloped, theory for embedding finite diversities into the diversity analogue of L1 spaces. In the metric case, it iswell known that an n-point metric space can be embedded into L1 withO(log n) distortion. For diversities, the optimal distortion is unknown....

H. Jiang and C. Lin [Chinese Ann. Math. 23 (2002)] proved that there exist infinitely many Banach spaces, called refined Besov spaces, lying strictly between the Besov spaces $B_{p,q}^s\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and ${\bigcup }_{t>s}{B}_{p,q}^t\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. In this paper, we prove a similar result for the analytic Besov spaces on the unit disc . We base our construction of the intermediate spaces on operator theory, or, more specifically, the theory of symmetrically normed ideals, introduced by I. Gohberg and M. Krein. At the same time, we use these spaces as models to...

Given a function $f\left(t\right)\ge 0$ on $ℝ$ with ${\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }\left(f\right(t)/(1+t^2\left)\right)dt\<\infty$ and $\left|f\right(t)-f(t^{\text{'}}\left)\right|\le l|t-t^{\text{'}}|$, a procedure is exhibited for obtaining on $ℂ$ a (finite) superharmonic majorant of the function$$F\left(z\right):\frac{1}{\pi }{\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }\frac{\left|𝔍z\right|}{|z-t{|}^2}f\left(t\right)dt-Al\left|𝔍z\right|,$$where $A$ is a certain (large) absolute constant. This leads to fairly constructive proofs of the two main multiplier theorems of Beurling and Malliavin. The principal tool used is a version of the following lemma going back almost surely to Beurling: suppose that $f\left(t\right)$, positive and bounded away from 0 on $ℝ$, is such that ${\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }\left(f\right(t)/(1+t^2)dt\<\infty$ and denote, for any constant $\alpha \>0$ and each $x\in ℝ$, the unique...

Numerical approximation schemes are discussed for the solution of contaminant transport with adsorption in dual-well flow. The method is based on time stepping and operator splitting for the transport with adsorption and diffusion. The nonlinear transport is solved by Godunov’s method. The nonlinear diffusion is solved by a finite volume method and by Newton’s type of linearization. The efficiency of the method is discussed.
