DCR2: An Improved Algorithm for l¶ Rational Approximation on Intervals.
Let F be a polynomial mapping of ℝ², F(O) = 0. In 1987 Meisters and Olech proved that the solution y(·) = 0 of the autonomous system of differential equations ẏ = F(y) is globally asymptotically stable provided that the jacobian of F is everywhere positive and the trace of the matrix of the differential of F is everywhere negative. In particular, the mapping F is then injective. We give an n-dimensional generalization of this result.
The main result of this paper is that if f is n-convex on a measurable subset E of ℝ, then f is n-2 times differentiable, n-2 times Peano differentiable and the corresponding derivatives are equal, and except on a countable set. Moreover is approximately differentiable with approximate derivative equal to the nth approximate Peano derivative of f almost everywhere.
∗ Research partially supported by INTAS grant 97-1644A real polynomial of one real variable is hyperbolic (resp. strictly hyperbolic) if it has only real roots (resp. if its roots are real and distinct). We prove that there are 116 possible non-degenerate configurations between the roots of a degree 5 strictly hyperbolic polynomial and of its derivatives (i.e. configurations without equalities between roots). The standard Rolle theorem allows 286 such configurations. To obtain the result we study...
