In a general setting of an ergodic dynamical system, we give a more accurate calculation of the speed of the recurrence of a point to itself (or to a fixed point). Precisely, we show that for a certain $\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}$ depending on the dimension of the space, $\liminf _{n\rightarrow +\infty }(n\log \log n)^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}}d(T^{n}x,x)=0$ almost everywhere and $\liminf _{n\rightarrow +\infty }(n\log \log n)^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}}d(T^{n}x,y)=0$ for almost all $x$ and $y$. This is done by assuming the exponential decay of correlations and making a weak assumption on the invariant measure.

We consider the split common null point problem in Hilbert space. We introduce and study a shrinking projection method for finding a solution using the resolvent of a maximal monotone operator and prove a strong convergence theorem for the algorithm.

We present the form of the solutions $f:S\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ of the functional equation

$$\begin{eqnarray}\mathop{\sum }_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\in K}f(x+\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}y)=|K|f(x)f(y)\quad \text{for }x,y\in S,\end{eqnarray}$$

For a normed infinite-dimensional space, we prove that the family of all locally convex topologies which are compatible with the original norm topology has cardinality greater or equal to $\mathfrak{c}$.

We extend the results of Schu [‘Iterative construction of fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings’, J. Math. Anal. Appl.158 (1991), 407–413] to monotone asymptotically nonexpansive mappings by means of the Fibonacci–Mann iteration process

We apply a mean-value inequality for positive subsolutions of the $f$-heat operator, obtained from a Sobolev embedding, to prove a nonexistence result concerning complete noncompact $f$-maximal spacelike hypersurfaces in a class of weighted Lorentzian manifolds. Furthermore, we establish a new Calabi–Bernstein result for complete noncompact maximal spacelike hypersurfaces in a Lorentzian product space.

Let $G$ be a locally compact amenable group and $A(G)$ and $B(G)$ be the Fourier and the Fourier–Stieltjes algebras of $G,$ respectively. For a power bounded element $u$ of $B(G)$, let ${\mathcal{E}}_{u}:=\{g\in G:|u(g)|=1\}$. We prove some convergence theorems for iterates of multipliers in Fourier algebras.

(a) If $\Vert u\Vert _{B(G)}\leq 1$, then $\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }\Vert u^{n}v\Vert _{A(G)}=\text{dist}(v,I_{{\mathcal{E}}_{u}})\text{ for }v\in A(G)$, where $I_{{\mathcal{E}}_{u}}=\{v\in A(G):v({\mathcal{E}}_{u})=\{0\}\}$.

(b) The sequence $\{u^{n}v\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ converges for every $v\in A(G)$ if and only if ${\mathcal{E}}_{u}$ is clopen and $u({\mathcal{E}}_{u})=\{1\}.$

(c) If the sequence $\{u^{n}v\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ converges weakly in $A(G)$ for some $v\in A(G)$, then it converges strongly.

We study function multipliers between spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disc of the complex plane generated by symmetric sequence spaces. In the case of sequence $\ell ^{p}$ spaces we recover Nikol’skii’s results [‘Spaces and algebras of Toeplitz matrices operating on $\ell ^{p}$’, Sibirsk. Mat. Zh.7 (1966), 146–158].

We present refined and reversed inequalities for the weighted arithmetic mean–harmonic mean functional inequality. Our approach immediately yields the related operator versions in a simple and fast way. We also give some operator and functional inequalities for three or more arguments. As an application, we obtain a refined upper bound for the relative entropy involving functional arguments.

We give a new and simple proof of a result of Ding and Xin, which states that any smooth complete self-shrinker in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ with the second fundamental form of constant length must be a generalised cylinder $\mathbb{S}^{k}\times \mathbb{R}^{2-k}$ for some $k\leq 2$. Moreover, we prove a gap theorem for smooth self-shrinkers in all dimensions.

We investigate $L^{p}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})$–$L^{q}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})$ off-diagonal estimates for the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup $(e^{tL})_{t>0}$. For sufficiently large $t$ (quantified in terms of $p$ and $q$), these estimates hold in an unrestricted sense, while, for sufficiently small $t$, they fail when restricted to maximal admissible balls and sufficiently small annuli. Our counterexample uses Mehler kernel estimates.

We establish a Schwarz lemma for $V$-harmonic maps of generalised dilatation between Riemannian manifolds. We apply the result to obtain corresponding results for Weyl harmonic maps of generalised dilatation from conformal Weyl manifolds to Riemannian manifolds and holomorphic maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to quasi-Kähler and almost Kähler manifolds.

The present paper is devoted to complete convergence and the strong law of large numbers under moment conditions near those of the law of the single logarithm (LSL) for independent and identically distributed arrays. More precisely, we investigate limit theorems under moment conditions which are stronger than $2p$ for any $p<2$, in which case we know that there is almost sure convergence to 0, and weaker than $E\,X^{4}/(\log ^{+}|X|)^{2}<\infty$, in which case the LSL holds.

The Krasnosel’skiĭ–Mann (KM) iteration is a widely used method to solve fixed point problems. This paper investigates the convergence rate for the KM iteration. We first establish a new convergence rate for the KM iteration which improves the known big-$O$ rate to little-$o$ without any other restrictions. The proof relies on the connection between the KM iteration and a useful technique on the convergence rate of summable sequences. Then we apply the result to give new results on convergence rates for the proximal point algorithm and the Douglas–Rachford method.

We study a special class of quasi-cyclic codes, obtained from a cyclic code over an extension field of the alphabet field by taking its image on a basis. When the basis is equal to its dual, the dual code admits the same construction. We give some examples of self-dual codes and LCD codes obtained in this way.

A killer of a group $G$ is an element that normally generates $G$. We show that the group of a cable knot contains infinitely many killers such that no two lie in the same automorphic orbit.
