On B 2 k -sequences

Martin Helm (1993)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Introduction. An old conjecture of P. Erdős repeated many times with a prize offer states that the counting function A(n) of a B r -sequence A satisfies l i m i n f n ( A ( n ) / ( n 1 / r ) ) = 0 . The conjecture was proved for r=2 by P. Erdős himself (see [5]) and in the cases r=4 and r=6 by J. C. M. Nash in [4] and by Xing-De Jia in [2] respectively. A very interesting proof of the conjecture in the case of all even r=2k by Xing-De Jia is to appear in the Journal of Number Theory [3]. Here we present a different, very short proof...

A preconditioner for the FETI-DP method for mortar-type Crouzeix-Raviart element discretization

Chunmei Wang (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider mortar-type Crouzeix-Raviart element discretizations for second order elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients. A preconditioner for the FETI-DP method is proposed. We prove that the condition number of the preconditioned operator is bounded by ( 1 + log ( H / h ) ) 2 , where H and h are mesh sizes. Finally, numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical results.

Inessentiality with respect to subspaces

Michael Levin (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X be a compactum and let A = ( A i , B i ) : i = 1 , 2 , . . . be a countable family of pairs of disjoint subsets of X. Then A is said to be essential on Y ⊂ X if for every closed F i separating A i and B i the intersection ( F i ) Y is not empty. So A is inessential on Y if there exist closed F i separating A i and B i such that F i does not intersect Y. Properties of inessentiality are studied and applied to prove:  Theorem. For every countable family of pairs of disjoint open subsets of a compactum X there exists an open set G ∩ X on...

On ergodicity of some cylinder flows

Krzysztof Frączek (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study ergodicity of cylinder flows of the form    T f : T × T × , T f ( x , y ) = ( x + α , y + f ( x ) ) , where f : T is a measurable cocycle with zero integral. We show a new class of smooth ergodic cocycles. Let k be a natural number and let f be a function such that D k f is piecewise absolutely continuous (but not continuous) with zero sum of jumps. We show that if the points of discontinuity of D k f have some good properties, then T f is ergodic. Moreover, there exists ε f > 0 such that if v : T is a function with zero integral such that D k v is of bounded...

Analytic determinacy and 0# A forcing-free proof of Harrington’s theorem

Ramez Sami (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the following theorem: Given a⊆ω and 1 α < ω 1 C K , if for some η < 1 and all u ∈ WO of length η, a is Σ α 0 ( u ) , then a is Σ α 0 . We use this result to give a new, forcing-free, proof of Leo Harrington’s theorem: Σ 1 1 -Turing-determinacy implies the existence of 0 .

Parametrized Cichoń's diagram and small sets

Janusz Pawlikowski, Ireneusz Recław (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We parametrize Cichoń’s diagram and show how cardinals from Cichoń’s diagram yield classes of small sets of reals. For instance, we show that there exist subsets N and M of w w × 2 w and continuous functions e , f : w w w w such that  • N is G δ and N x : x w w , the collection of all vertical sections of N, is a basis for the ideal of measure zero subsets of 2 w ;  • M is F σ and M x : x w w is a basis for the ideal of meager subsets of 2 w ;  • x , y N e ( x ) N y M x M f ( y ) . From this we derive that for a separable metric space X,  •if for all Borel (resp. G δ ) sets...

On elementary abelian 2-Sylow K₂ of rings of integers of certain quadratic number fields

P. E. Conner, J. Hurrelbrink (1995)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

A large number of papers have contributed to determining the structure of the tame kernel K F of algebraic number fields F. Recently, for quadratic number fields F whose discriminants have at most three odd prime divisors, 4-rank formulas for K F have been made very explicit by Qin Hourong in terms of the indefinite quadratic form x² - 2y² (see [7], [8]). We have made a successful effort, for quadratic number fields F = ℚ (√(±p₁p₂)), to characterize in terms of positive definite binary quadratic...

A note on Tsirelson type ideals

Boban Veličković (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Using Tsirelson’s well-known example of a Banach space which does not contain a copy of c 0 or l p , for p ≥ 1, we construct a simple Borel ideal I T such that the Borel cardinalities of the quotient spaces P ( ) / I T and P ( ) / I 0 are incomparable, where I 0 is the summable ideal of all sets A ⊆ ℕ such that n A 1 / ( n + 1 ) < . This disproves a “trichotomy” conjecture for Borel ideals proposed by Kechris and Mazur.

Theta functions of quadratic forms over imaginary quadratic fields

Olav K. Richter (2000)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

1. Introduction. Let Q be a positive definite n × n matrix with integral entries and even diagonal entries. It is well known that the theta function ϑ Q ( z ) : = g n e x p π i t g Q g z , Im z > 0, is a modular form of weight n/2 on Γ 0 ( N ) , where N is the level of Q, i.e. N Q - 1 is integral and N Q - 1 has even diagonal entries. This was proved by Schoeneberg [5] for even n and by Pfetzer [3] for odd n. Shimura [6] uses the Poisson summation formula to generalize their results for arbitrary n and he also computes the theta multiplier...

Entropy and growth of expanding periodic orbits for one-dimensional maps

A. Katok, A. Mezhirov (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let f be a continuous map of the circle S 1 or the interval I into itself, piecewise C 1 , piecewise monotone with finitely many intervals of monotonicity and having positive entropy h. For any ε > 0 we prove the existence of at least e ( h - ε ) n k periodic points of period n k with large derivative along the period, | ( f n k ) ' | > e ( h - ε ) n k for some subsequence n k of natural numbers. For a strictly monotone map f without critical points we show the existence of at least ( 1 - ε ) e h n such points.

Bing maps and finite-dimensional maps

Michael Levin (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X and Y be compacta and let f:X → Y be a k-dimensional map. In [5] Pasynkov stated that if Y is finite-dimensional then there exists a map g : X 𝕀 k such that dim (f × g) = 0. The problem that we deal with in this note is whether or not the restriction on the dimension of Y in the Pasynkov theorem can be omitted. This problem is still open.  Without assuming that Y is finite-dimensional Sternfeld [6] proved that there exists a map g : X 𝕀 k such that dim (f × g) = 1. We improve this result of Sternfeld...

Growth of the product j = 1 n ( 1 - x a j )

J. P. Bell, P. B. Borwein, L. B. Richmond (1998)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We estimate the maximum of j = 1 n | 1 - x a j | on the unit circle where 1 ≤ a₁ ≤ a₂ ≤ ... is a sequence of integers. We show that when a j is j k or when a j is a quadratic in j that takes on positive integer values, the maximum grows as exp(cn), where c is a positive constant. This complements results of Sudler and Wright that show exponential growth when a j is j.    In contrast we show, under fairly general conditions, that the maximum is less than 2 n / n r , where r is an arbitrary positive number. One consequence...

Sierpiński's hierarchy and locally Lipschitz functions

Michał Morayne (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Z be an uncountable Polish space. It is a classical result that if I ⊆ ℝ is any interval (proper or not), f: I → ℝ and α < ω 1 then f ○ g ∈ B α ( Z ) for every g B α ( Z ) Z I if and only if f is continuous on I, where B α ( Z ) stands for the αth class in Baire’s classification of Borel measurable functions. We shall prove that for the classes S α ( Z ) ( α > 0 ) in Sierpiński’s classification of Borel measurable functions the analogous result holds where the condition that f is continuous is replaced by the condition that f is locally...

On the positivity of the number of t-core partitions

Ken Ono (1994)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

A partition of a positive integer n is a nonincreasing sequence of positive integers with sum n . Here we define a special class of partitions. 1. Let t 1 be a positive integer. Any partition of n whose Ferrers graph have no hook numbers divisible by t is known as a t- core partitionof n . The hooks are important in the representation theory of finite symmetric groups and the theory of cranks associated with Ramanujan’s congruences for the ordinary partition function [3, 4, 6]. If t 1 and n 0 ,...
