ε-Entropy and moduli of smoothness in $L^{p}$ -spaces

A. Kamont (1992)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The asymptotic behaviour of ε-entropy of classes of Lipschitz functions in $L^{p} (^{d})$ is obtained. Moreover, the asymptotics of ε-entropy of classes of Lipschitz functions in $L^{p} (ℝ^{d})$ whose tail function decreases as $O (λ^{- γ})$ is obtained. In case p = 1 the relation between the ε-entropy of a given class of probability densities on $ℝ^{d}$ and the minimax risk for that class is discussed.

On the joint entropy of $d$ -wise-independent variables

Dmitry Gavinsky, Pavel Pudlák (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

How low can the joint entropy of $n$ $d$ -wise independent (for $d \geq 2$ ) discrete random variables be, subject to given constraints on the individual distributions (say, no value may be taken by a variable with probability greater than $p$ , for $p < 1$ )? This question has been posed and partially answered in a recent work of Babai [Entropy versus pairwise independence (preliminary version), http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/ laci/papers/13augEntropy.pdf, 2013]. In this paper we improve some...

Jumps of entropy for $C^{r}$ interval maps

David Burguet (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the jumps of topological entropy for $C^{r}$ interval or circle maps. We prove in particular that the topological entropy is continuous at any $f \in C^{r} ([0, 1])$ with $h_{t o p} (f) > (l o g ⁺ | | f^{'} {| |}_{\infty}) / r$ . To this end we study the continuity of the entropy of the Buzzi-Hofbauer diagrams associated to $C^{r}$ interval maps.

On some nonlinear nonhomogeneous elliptic unilateral problems involving noncontrollable lower order terms with measure right hand side

C. Yazough, E. Azroul, H. Redwane (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the existence of entropy solutions to unilateral problems associated to equations of the type $A u - d i v (ϕ (u)) = μ \in L ¹ (Ω) + W^{- 1, p^{'} (\cdot)} (Ω)$ , where A is a Leray-Lions operator acting from $W ₀^{1, p (\cdot)} (Ω)$ into its dual $W^{- 1, p (\cdot)} (Ω)$ and $ϕ \in C ⁰ (ℝ, ℝ^{N})$ .

Topological disjointness from entropy zero systems

Wen Huang, Kyewon Koh Park, Xiangdong Ye (2007)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

The properties of topological dynamical systems $(X, T)$ which are disjoint from all minimal systems of zero entropy, $ℳ_{0}$ , are investigated. Unlike the measurable case, it is known that topological $K$ -systems make up a proper subset of the systems which are disjoint from $ℳ_{0}$ . We show that $(X, T)$ has an invariant measure with full support, and if in addition $(X, T)$ is transitive, then $(X, T)$ is weakly mixing. A transitive diagonal system with only one minimal point is constructed. As a consequence, there exists...

The Cauchy problem for a strongly degenerate quasilinear equation

F. Andreu, Vicent Caselles, J. M. Mazón (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions for the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear parabolic equation $u_{t} = div 𝐚 (u, D u)$ , where $𝐚 (z, ξ) = \nabla_{ξ} f (z, ξ)$ , and $f$ is a convex function of $ξ$ with linear growth as $∥ ξ ∥ \to \infty$ , satisfying other additional assumptions. In particular, this class includes a relativistic heat equation and a flux limited diffusion equation used in the theory of radiation hydrodynamics.

Measures of maximal entropy for random $β$ -expansions

Karma Dajani, Martijn de Vries (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $β > 1$ be a non-integer. We consider $β$ -expansions of the form $\sum_{i = 1}^{\infty} d_{i} / β^{i}$ , where the digits ${(d_{i})}_{i \geq 1}$ are generated by means of a Borel map $K_{β}$ defined on ${0, 1}^{ℕ} \times [0, ⌊ β ⌋ / (β - 1)]$ . We show that $K_{β}$ has a unique mixing measure $ν_{β}$ of maximal entropy with marginal measure an infinite convolution of Bernoulli measures. Furthermore, under the measure $ν_{β}$ the digits ${(d_{i})}_{i \geq 1}$ form a uniform Bernoulli process. In case 1 has a finite greedy expansion with positive coefficients, the measure of maximal entropy is Markov. We also discuss the uniqueness...

Entropy and approximation numbers of embeddings between weighted Besov spaces

Iwona Piotrowska (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The present paper is devoted to the study of the “quality” of the compactness of the trace operator. More precisely, we characterize the asymptotic behaviour of entropy numbers of the compact map $t r_{Γ} : B_{p ₁, q}^{s} (ℝ ⁿ, w_{ϰ}^{Γ}) \to L_{p ₂} (Γ)$ , where Γ is a d-set with 0 < d < n and $w_{ϰ}^{Γ}$ a weight of type $w_{ϰ}^{Γ} (x) d i s t {(x, Γ)}^{ϰ}$ near Γ with ϰ > -(n-d). There are parallel results for approximation numbers.

Gelfand numbers and metric entropy of convex hulls in Hilbert spaces

Bernd Carl, David E. Edmunds (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

For a precompact subset K of a Hilbert space we prove the following inequalities: $n^{1 / 2} c ₙ (c o v (K)) \leq c_{K} (1 + \sum_{k = 1}^{ⁿ} k^{- 1 / 2} e_{k} (K))$ , n ∈ ℕ, and $k^{1 / 2} c_{k + n} (c o v (K)) \leq c [l o g^{1 / 2} (n + 1) ε ₙ (K) + \sum_{j = n + 1}^{\infty} ε_{j} (K) / (j l o g^{1 / 2} (j + 1))]$ , k,n ∈ ℕ, where cₙ(cov(K)) is the nth Gelfand number of the absolutely convex hull of K and $ε_{k} (K)$ and $e_{k} (K)$ denote the kth entropy and kth dyadic entropy number of K, respectively. The inequalities are, essentially, a reformulation of the corresponding inequalities given in [CKP] which yield asymptotically optimal estimates of the Gelfand numbers cₙ(cov(K)) provided that the entropy numbers εₙ(K)...

Some logarithmic function spaces, entropy numbers, applications to spectral theory

Haroske Dorothee

Similarity:

AbstractIn [18] and [19] we have studied compact embeddings of weighted function spaces on ℝⁿ, $i d : H_{q}^{s} (w (x), ℝ ⁿ) \to L ₚ (ℝ ⁿ)$ , s>0, 1 < q ≤ p< ∞, s-n/q+n/p > 0, with, for example, $w (x) = ⟨ x ⟩^{α}$ , α > 0, or $w (x) = l o g^{β} ⟨ x ⟩$ , β > 0, and $⟨ x ⟩ = {(2 + | x | ²)}^{1 / 2}$ . We have determined the behaviour of their entropy numbers eₖ(id). Now we are interested in the limiting case 1/q = 1/p + s/n. Let $w (x) = l o g^{β} ⟨ x ⟩$ , β > 0. Our results in [18] imply that id cannot be compact for any β > 0, but after replacing the target space Lₚ(ℝⁿ) by a “slightly” larger one, $L ₚ {(l o g L)}_{- a} (ℝ ⁿ)$ , a...

On the directional entropy of ℤ²-actions generated by cellular automata

M. Courbage, B. Kamiński (2002)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that for any cellular automaton (CA) ℤ²-action Φ on the space of all doubly infinite sequences with values in a finite set A, determined by an automaton rule $F = F_{[l, r]}$ , l,r ∈ ℤ, l ≤ r, and any Φ-invariant Borel probability measure, the directional entropy $h_{v ⃗} (Φ)$ , v⃗= (x,y) ∈ ℝ², is bounded above by $m a x (| z_{l} |, | z_{r} |) l o g A$ if $z_{l} z_{r} \geq 0$ and by $| z_{r} - z_{l} |$ in the opposite case, where $z_{l} = x + l y$ , $z_{r} = x + r y$ . We also show that in the class of permutative CA-actions the bounds are attained if the measure considered is uniform Bernoulli.

$L^{2}$ -type contraction for systems of conservation laws

Denis Serre, Alexis F. Vasseur (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

Similarity:

The semi-group associated with the Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation law is known to be a contraction in $L^{1}$ . However it is not a contraction in $L^{p}$ for any $p > 1$ . Leger showed in [] that for a convex flux, it is however a contraction in $L^{2}$ up to a suitable shift. We investigate in this paper whether such a contraction may happen for systems. The method is based on the relative entropy method. Our general analysis leads us to the new geometrical notion of systems. We treat in details...

Pattern avoidance in partial words over a ternary alphabet

Adam Gągol (2015)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Blanched-Sadri and Woodhouse in 2013 have proven the conjecture of Cassaigne, stating that any pattern with $m$ distinct variables and of length at least $2^{m}$ is avoidable over a ternary alphabet and if the length is at least $3 \cdot 2^{m - 1}$ it is avoidable over a binary alphabet. They conjectured that similar theorems are true for partial words – sequences, in which some characters are left “blank”. Using method of entropy compression, we obtain the partial words version of the theorem for ternary words. ...

Blow up for a completely coupled Fujita type reaction-diffusion system

Noureddine Igbida, Mokhtar Kirane (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper provides blow up results of Fujita type for a reaction-diffusion system of 3 equations in the form $u ₜ - Δ (a_{11} u) = h (t, x) {| v |}^{p}$ , $v ₜ - Δ (a_{21} u) - Δ (a_{22} v) = k (t, x) {| w |}^{q}$ , $w ₜ - Δ (a_{31} u) - Δ (a_{32} v) - Δ (a_{33} w) = l (t, x) {| u |}^{r}$ , for $x \in ℝ^{N}$ , t > 0, p > 0, q > 0, r > 0, $a_{i j} = a_{i j} (t, x, u, v)$ , under initial conditions u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), w(0,x) = w₀(x) for $x \in ℝ^{N}$ , where u₀, v₀, w₀ are nonnegative, continuous and bounded functions. Subject to conditions on dependence on the parameters p, q, r, N and the growth of the functions h, k, l at infinity, we prove finite blow up time for every solution of the...

Porous medium equation and fast diffusion equation as gradient systems

Samuel Littig, Jürgen Voigt (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We show that the Porous Medium Equation and the Fast Diffusion Equation, $\dot{u} - Δ u^{m} = f$ , with $m \in (0, \infty)$ , can be modeled as a gradient system in the Hilbert space $H^{- 1} (Ω)$ , and we obtain existence and uniqueness of solutions in this framework. We deal with bounded and certain unbounded open sets $Ω \subseteq ℝ^{n}$ and do not require any boundary regularity. Moreover, the approach is used to discuss the asymptotic behaviour and order preservation of solutions.

Symbolic extensions in intermediate smoothness on surfaces

David Burguet (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We prove that $𝒞^{r}$ maps with $r > 1$ on a compact surface have symbolic extensions, i.e., topological extensions which are subshifts over a finite alphabet. More precisely we give a sharp upper bound on the so-called symbolic extension entropy, which is the infimum of the topological entropies of all the symbolic extensions. This answers positively a conjecture of S. Newhouse and T. Downarowicz in dimension two and improves a previous result of the author [11].

Hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy for generic rational maps of $ℙ^{k}$

Gabriel Vigny (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let $f$ be a dominant rational map of $ℙ^{k}$ such that there exists $s < k$ with $λ_{s} (f) > λ_{l} (f)$ for all $l$ . Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for $A$ outside a pluripolar set of $Aut (ℙ^{k})$ , the map $f \circ A$ admits a hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy $log λ_{s} (f)$ with explicit bounds on the Lyapunov exponents. In particular, the result is true for polynomial maps hence for the homogeneous extension of $f$ to $ℙ^{k + 1}$ . This provides many examples where non uniform hyperbolic dynamics is established. One of the key tools is to approximate...

Metastability in reversible diffusion processes I: Sharp asymptotics for capacities and exit times

Anton Bovier, Michael Eckhoff, Véronique Gayrard, Markus Klein (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We develop a potential theoretic approach to the problem of metastability for reversible diffusion processes with generators of the form $- ϵ Δ + \nabla F (\cdot) \nabla$ on $ℝ^{d}$ or subsets of $ℝ^{d}$ , where $F$ is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. In analogy to previous work on discrete Markov chains, we show that metastable exit times from the attractive domains of the minima of $F$ can be related, up to multiplicative errors that tend to one as $ϵ ↓ 0$ , to the capacities of suitably constructed sets. We show that...

The $n$ -centre problem of celestial mechanics for large energies

Andreas Knauf (2002)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider the classical three-dimensional motion in a potential which is the sum of $n$ attracting or repelling Coulombic potentials. Assuming a non-collinear configuration of the $n$ centres, we find a universal behaviour for all energies $E$ above a positive threshold. Whereas for $n = 1$ there are no bounded orbits, and for $n = 2$ there is just one closed orbit, for $n \geq 3$ the bounded orbits form a Cantor set. We analyze the symbolic dynamics and estimate Hausdorff dimension and topological entropy of...

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In the following text for a discrete finite nonempty set $K$ and a self-map $ϕ : X \to X$ we investigate interaction between different entropies of generalized shift $σ_{ϕ} : K^{X} \to K^{X}$ , ${(x_{α})}_{α \in X} \mapsto {(x_{ϕ (α)})}_{α \in X}$ and cellularities of some Alexandroff topologies on $X$ .

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we examine self-similar solutions to the system $u_{i t} - d_{i} Δ u_{i} = \prod_{k = 1}^{m} u_{k}^{p_{k}^{i}}$ , i = 1,…,m, $x \in ℝ^{N}$ , t > 0, $u_{i} (0, x) = u_{0 i} (x)$ , i = 1,…,m, $x \in ℝ^{N}$ , where m > 1 and $p_{k}^{i} > 0$ , to describe asymptotics near the blow up point.

Minimal systems and distributionally scrambled sets

Piotr Oprocha (2012)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

In this paper we investigate numerous constructions of minimal systems from the point of view of $(ℱ_{1}, ℱ_{2})$ -chaos (but most of our results concern the particular cases of distributional chaos of type $1$ and $2$ ). We consider standard classes of systems, such as Toeplitz flows, Grillenberger $K$ -systems or Blanchard-Kwiatkowski extensions of the Chacón flow, proving that all of them are DC2. An example of DC1 minimal system with positive topological entropy is also introduced. The above mentioned results...

Existence and upper semicontinuity of uniform attractors in $H ¹ (ℝ^{N})$ for nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equations

Cung The Anh, Nguyen Duong Toan (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove the existence of uniform attractors $_{ε}$ in the space $H ¹ (ℝ^{N})$ for the nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equation $u_{t} - ε Δ u_{t} - Δ u + f (x, u) + λ u = g (x, t)$ , ε ∈ [0,1]. The upper semicontinuity of the uniform attractors ${_{ε}}_{ε \in [0, 1]}$ at ε = 0 is also studied.

We consider a reaction-diffusion-convection equation on the halfline (0,1) with the zero Dirichlet boundary condition at $x = 0$ . We find a positive selfsimilar solution $u$ which blows up in a finite time $T$ at $x = 0$ while $u (x, T)$ remains bounded for $x > 0$ .
