Invertibility of the commutator of an element in a C*-algebra and its Moore-Penrose inverse

Julio Benítez, Vladimir Rakočević (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study the subset in a unital C*-algebra composed of elements a such that $a a^{†} - a a^{†}$ is invertible, where $a^{†}$ denotes the Moore-Penrose inverse of a. A distinguished subset of this set is also investigated. Furthermore we study sequences of elements belonging to the aforementioned subsets.

Minimality properties of Tsirelson type spaces

Denka Kutzarova, Denny H. Leung, Antonis Manoussakis, Wee-Kee Tang (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study minimality properties of partly modified mixed Tsirelson spaces. A Banach space with a normalized basis $(e_{k})$ is said to be subsequentially minimal if for every normalized block basis $(x_{k})$ of $(e_{k})$ , there is a further block basis $(y_{k})$ of $(x_{k})$ such that $(y_{k})$ is equivalent to a subsequence of $(e_{k})$ . Sufficient conditions are given for a partly modified mixed Tsirelson space to be subsequentially minimal, and connections with Bourgain’s ℓ¹-index are established. It is also shown that a large class of...

Similarity:

We prove in ZFC that there is a set $A \subseteq 2^{ω}$ and a surjective function H: A → ⟨0,1⟩ such that for every null additive set X ⊆ ⟨0,1), $H^{- 1} (X)$ is null additive in $2^{ω}$ . This settles in the affirmative a question of T. Bartoszyński.

Number of solutions in a box of a linear equation in an Abelian group

For every finite Abelian group Γ and for all $g, a ₁, . . ., a_{k} \in Γ$ , if there exists a solution of the equation $\sum_{i = 1}^{k} a_{i} x_{i} = g$ in non-negative integers $x_{i} \leq b_{i}$ , where $b_{i}$ are positive integers, then the number of such solutions is estimated from below in the best possible way.

On sequences over a finite abelian group with zero-sum subsequences of forbidden lengths

Weidong Gao, Yuanlin Li, Pingping Zhao, Jujuan Zhuang (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let G be an additive finite abelian group. For every positive integer ℓ, let $d i s c_{ℓ} (G)$ be the smallest positive integer t such that each sequence S over G of length |S| ≥ t has a nonempty zero-sum subsequence of length not equal to ℓ. In this paper, we determine $d i s c_{ℓ} (G)$ for certain finite groups, including cyclic groups, the groups $G = C ₂ \oplus C_{2 m}$ and elementary abelian 2-groups. Following Girard, we define disc(G) as the smallest positive integer t such that every sequence S over G with |S| ≥ t has nonempty zero-sum...

A note on the super-additive and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions: The multi-dimensional case

Fateme Kouchakinejad, Alexandra Šipošová (2017)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

For an aggregation function $A$ we know that it is bounded by $A^{*}$ and $A_{*}$ which are its super-additive and sub-additive transformations, respectively. Also, it is known that if $A^{*}$ is directionally convex, then $A = A^{*}$ and $A_{*}$ is linear; similarly, if $A_{*}$ is directionally concave, then $A = A_{*}$ and $A^{*}$ is linear. We generalize these results replacing the directional convexity and concavity conditions by the weaker assumptions of overrunning a super-additive function and underrunning a sub-additive function, respectively. ...

On Meager Additive and Null Additive Sets in the Cantor Space $2^{ω}$ and in ℝ

Tomasz Weiss (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let T be the standard Cantor-Lebesgue function that maps the Cantor space $2^{ω}$ onto the unit interval ⟨0,1⟩. We prove within ZFC that for every $X \subseteq 2^{ω}$ , X is meager additive in $2^{ω}$ iff T(X) is meager additive in ⟨0,1⟩. As a consequence, we deduce that the cartesian product of meager additive sets in ℝ remains meager additive in ℝ × ℝ. In this note, we also study the relationship between null additive sets in $2^{ω}$ and ℝ.

On the Behavior of Power Series with Completely Additive Coefficients

Oleg Petrushov (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Consider the power series $(z) = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} α (n) z ⁿ$ , where α(n) is a completely additive function satisfying the condition α(p) = o(lnp) for prime numbers p. Denote by e(l/q) the root of unity $e^{2 π i l / q}$ . We give effective omega-estimates for $(e (l / p^{k}) r)$ when r → 1-. From them we deduce that if such a series has non-singular points on the unit circle, then it is a zero function.

A generalization of a theorem of Erdős-Rényi to m-fold sums and differences

Kathryn E. Hare, Shuntaro Yamagishi (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let m ≥ 2 be a positive integer. Given a set E(ω) ⊆ ℕ we define $r_{N}^{(m)} (ω)$ to be the number of ways to represent N ∈ ℤ as a combination of sums and differences of m distinct elements of E(ω). In this paper, we prove the existence of a “thick” set E(ω) and a positive constant K such that $r_{N}^{(m)} (ω) < K$ for all N ∈ ℤ. This is a generalization of a known theorem by Erdős and Rényi. We also apply our results to harmonic analysis, where we prove the existence of certain thin sets.

A note on minimal zero-sum sequences over ℤ

Papa A. Sissokho (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

A zero-sum sequence over ℤ is a sequence with terms in ℤ that sum to 0. It is called minimal if it does not contain a proper zero-sum subsequence. Consider a minimal zero-sum sequence over ℤ with positive terms $a ₁, . . ., a_{h}$ and negative terms $b ₁, . . ., b_{k}$ . We prove that h ≤ ⌊σ⁺/k⌋ and k ≤ ⌊σ⁺/h⌋, where $σ ⁺ = \sum_{i = 1}^{h} a_{i} = - \sum_{j = 1}^{k} b_{j}$ . These bounds are tight and improve upon previous results. We also show a natural partial order structure on the collection of all minimal zero-sum sequences over the set i∈ ℤ : -n ≤ i ≤ n for any positive...

A discrepancy principle for Tikhonov regularization with approximately specified data

M. Thamban Nair, Eberhard Schock (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Many discrepancy principles are known for choosing the parameter α in the regularized operator equation $(T * T + α I) x_{α}^{δ} = T * y^{δ}$ , $| y - y^{δ} | \leq δ$ , in order to approximate the minimal norm least-squares solution of the operator equation Tx = y. We consider a class of discrepancy principles for choosing the regularization parameter when T*T and $T * y^{δ}$ are approximated by Aₙ and $z ₙ^{δ}$ respectively with Aₙ not necessarily self-adjoint. This procedure generalizes the work of Engl and Neubauer (1985), and particular cases of the results...

On the structure of sequences with forbidden zero-sum subsequences

We study the structure of longest sequences in $ℤ ₙ^{d}$ which have no zero-sum subsequence of length n (or less). We prove, among other results, that for $n = 2^{a}$ and d arbitrary, or $n = 3^{a}$ and d = 3, every sequence of c(n,d)(n-1) elements in $ℤ ₙ^{d}$ which has no zero-sum subsequence of length n consists of c(n,d) distinct elements each appearing n-1 times, where $c (2^{a}, d) = 2^{d}$ and $c (3^{a}, 3) = 9$ .

A basis of ℤₘ, II

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a set A ⊂ ℕ let $σ_{A} (n)$ denote the number of ordered pairs (a,a’) ∈ A × A such that a + a’ = n. Erdős and Turán conjectured that for any asymptotic basis A of ℕ, $σ_{A} (n)$ is unbounded. We show that the analogue of the Erdős-Turán conjecture does not hold in the abelian group (ℤₘ,+), namely, for any natural number m, there exists a set A ⊆ ℤₘ such that A + A = ℤₘ and $σ_{A} (n ̅) \leq 5120$ for all n̅ ∈ ℤₘ.

Let be an abelian category, or more generally a weakly idempotent complete exact category, and suppose we have two complete hereditary cotorsion pairs $(, \tilde{})$ and $(\tilde{},)$ in satisfying $\tilde{} \subseteq$ and $\cap \tilde{} = \tilde{} \cap$ . We show how to construct a (necessarily unique) abelian model structure on with (resp. $\tilde{}$ ) as the class of cofibrant (resp. trivially cofibrant) objects, and (resp. $\tilde{}$ ) as the class of fibrant (resp. trivially fibrant) objects.

We prove in this paper the Hölder regularity of Almgren minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a $𝕐$ -point and the existence of a point of particular type of a Mumford-Shah minimal set in $ℝ^{4}$ , which is very close to a $𝕋$ . This will give a local description of minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a singular point and a property of Mumford-Shah minimal sets in $ℝ^{4}$ .

Letting f(n) = A log n + t(n), where t(n) is a small additive function and A a positive constant, we obtain estimates for the quantities $\sum_{x \leq n \leq x + H} 1 / f (Q (n))$ and $\sum_{x \leq p \leq x + H} 1 / f (Q (p))$ , where H = H(x) satisfies certain growth conditions, p runs over prime numbers and Q is a polynomial with integer coefficients, whose leading coefficient is positive, and with all its roots simple.

On the classification of inverse limits of tent maps

Louis Block, Slagjana Jakimovik, Lois Kailhofer, James Keesling (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let $f_{s}$ and $f_{t}$ be tent maps on the unit interval. In this paper we give a new proof of the fact that if the critical points of $f_{s}$ and $f_{t}$ are periodic and the inverse limit spaces $(I, f_{s})$ and $(I, f_{t})$ are homeomorphic, then s = t. This theorem was first proved by Kailhofer. The new proof in this paper simplifies the proof of Kailhofer. Using the techniques of the paper we are also able to identify certain isotopies between homeomorphisms on the inverse limit space.

Given a finite additive abelian group $G$ and an integer $k$ , with $3 \leq k \leq | G |$ , denote by $𝒟_{k} (G)$ the simple incidence structure whose point-set is $G$ and whose blocks are the $k$ -subsets $C = {c_{1}, c_{2}, \dots, c_{k}}$ of $G$ such that $c_{1} + c_{2} + \dots + c_{k} = 0$ .
