Cliff functions - a tool for treating sequences of composed functions. (Short Communication).
Let K be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior in a real Banach space and let cc(K) denote the family of all nonempty convex compact subsets of K. If F t: t ≥ 0 is a regular cosine family of continuous additive set-valued functions F t: K → cc(K) such that x ∈ F t(x) for t ≥ 0 and x ∈ K, then .
The system of Abel equations α(ft(x)) = α(x) + λ(t), t ∈ T, is studied under the general assumption that are pairwise commuting homeomorphisms of a real interval and have no fixed points (T is an arbitrary non-empty set). A result concerning embeddability of rational iteration groups in continuous groups is proved as a simple consequence of the obtained theorems.
We develop a stage-structured model that describes the dynamics of two competing species each of which have sexual and clonal reproduction. This is typical of many plants including irises. We first analyze the dynamical behavior of a single species model. We show that when the inherent net reproductive number is smaller than one then the population will go to extinction and if it is larger than one then an interior equilibrium exists and it is globally asymptotically stable. Then we analyze...
We consider a rational function which is ‘lacunary’ in the sense that it can be expressed as the ratio of two polynomials (not necessarily coprime) having each at most a given number of terms. Then we look at the possible decompositions , where are rational functions of degree larger than 1. We prove that, apart from certain exceptional cases which we completely describe, the degree of is bounded only in terms of (and we provide explicit bounds). This supports and quantifies the intuitive...
Let F t: t ≥ 0 be a concave iteration semigroup of linear continuous set-valued functions defined on a convex cone K with nonempty interior in a Banach space X with values in cc(K). If we assume that the Hukuhara differences F 0(x) − F t (x) exist for x ∈ K and t > 0, then D t F t (x) = (−1)F t ((−1)G(x)) for x ∈ K and t ≥ 0, where D t F t (x) denotes the derivative of F t (x) with respect to t and for x ∈ K.
We consider a concave iteration semigroup of linear continuous set-valued functions defined on a closed convex cone in a separable Banach space. We prove that such an iteration semigroup has a selection which is also an iteration semigroup of linear continuous functions. Moreover it is majorized by an "exponential" family of linear continuous set-valued functions.
For a stochastic process with state space some Polish space, this paper gives sufficient conditions on the initial and conditional distributions for the joint law to satisfy Gaussian concentration inequalities and transportation inequalities. In the case of the Euclidean space , there are sufficient conditions for the joint law to satisfy a logarithmic Sobolev inequality. In several cases, the constants obtained are of optimal order of growth with respect to the number of random variables, or are...
