The unitary extension principle $\left( \text{UEP} \right)$ by A. Ron and Z. Shen yields a sufficient condition for the construction of Parseval wavelet frames with multiple generators. In this paper we characterize the $\text{UEP}$-type wavelet systems that can be extended to a Parseval wavelet frame by adding just one $\text{UEP}$-type wavelet system. We derive a condition that is necessary for the extension of a UEP-type wavelet system to any Parseval wavelet frame with any number of generators and prove that this condition is also sufficient to ensure that an extension with just two generators is possible.

A semiderivation of a ring R is an additive mapping f:R → R together with a function g:R → R such that f(xy) = f(x)g(y) + xf(y) = f(x)y + g(x)f(y) and f(g(x) ) = g(f(x)) for all x, y ∊ R. Motivating examples are derivations and mappings of the form x → x — g(x), g a ring endomorphism. A semiderivation f of R is centralizing on an ideal U if [f(u), u] is central for all u ∊ U. For R prime of char. ≠2, U a nonzero ideal of R, and 0 ≠ f a semiderivation of R we prove: (1) if f is centralizing on U then either R is commutative or f is essentially one of the motivating examples, (2) if [f(U), f(U) ] is central then R is commutative.

Let $\{M_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of expanding matrices with $M_{n}=\operatorname{diag}(p_{n},q_{n})$, and let $\{{\mathcal{D}}_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of digit sets with ${\mathcal{D}}_{n}=\{(0,0)^{t},(a_{n},0)^{t},(0,b_{n})^{t},\pm (a_{n},b_{n})^{t}\}$, where $p_{n}$, $q_{n}$, $a_{n}$ and $b_{n}$ are positive integers for all $n\geqslant 1$. If $\sup _{n\geqslant 1}\{\frac{a_{n}}{p_{n}},\frac{b_{n}}{q_{n}}\}<\infty$, then the infinite convolution $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{\{M_{n}\},\{{\mathcal{D}}_{n}\}}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{M_{1}^{-1}{\mathcal{D}}_{1}}\ast \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{(M_{1}M_{2})^{-1}{\mathcal{D}}_{2}}\ast \cdots \,$ is a Borel probability measure (Cantor–Dust–Moran measure). In this paper, we investigate whenever there exists a discrete set $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$ such that $\{e^{2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}i\langle \unicode[STIX]{x1D706},x\rangle }:\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\in \unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}\}$ is an orthonormal basis for $L^{2}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{\{M_{n}\},\{{\mathcal{D}}_{n}\}})$.

Consider a real potential $V$ on ${{\text{R}}^{d}}$, $d\ge 2$, and the Schrödinger equation:

$$\left( \text{LS} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,i{{\partial }_{t}}u+\Delta u-Vu=0,{{u}_{\upharpoonright }}_{t=0}={{u}_{0}}\in {{L}^{2}}$$

In this paper, we investigate the minimal local regularity of $V$ needed to get local in time dispersive estimates (such as local in time Strichartz estimates or local smoothing effect with gain of $1/2$ derivative) on solutions of $\left( \text{LS} \right)$. Prior works show some dispersive properties when $V$ (small at infinity) is in ${{L}^{d/2}}$ or in spaces just a little larger but with a smallness condition on $V$ (or at least on its negative part).

In this work, we prove the critical character of these results by constructing a positive potential $V$ which has compact support, bounded outside 0 and of the order ${{\left( \log \left| x \right| \right)}^{2}}/{{\left| x \right|}^{2}}$ near 0. The lack of dispersiveness comes from the existence of a sequence of quasimodes for the operator $P:=-\Delta +V$.

The elementary construction of $V$ consists in sticking together concentrated, truncated potential wells near 0. This yields a potential oscillating with infinite speed and amplitude at 0, such that the operator $P$ admits a sequence of quasi-modes of polynomial order whose support concentrates on the pole.

We present a result about $G_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}}$ covers of a Hausdorff space that implies various known cardinal inequalities, including the following two fundamental results in the theory of cardinal invariants in topology: $|X|\leqslant 2^{L(X)\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}(X)}$ (Arhangel’skiĭ) and $|X|\leqslant 2^{c(X)\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}(X)}$ (Hajnal–Juhász). This solves a question that goes back to Bell, Ginsburg and Woods’s 1978 paper (M. Bell, J.N. Ginsburg and R.G. Woods, Cardinal inequalities for topological spaces involving the weak Lindelöf number, Pacific J. Math. 79(1978), 37–45) and is mentioned in Hodel’s survey on Arhangel’skiĭ’s Theorem (R. Hodel, Arhangel’skii’s solution to Alexandroff’s problem: A survey, Topology Appl. 153(2006), 2199–2217).

In contrast to previous attempts, we do not need any separation axiom beyond $T_{2}$.

E. Pirtle has conjectured that if D is an almost Krull domain in which the height one prime ideals are divisorial then D is a Krull domain. An example is given to show that this is not the case. Further, let U = and let denote the set of prime ideals of D which are minimal over some ideal (a):(b), where a, b ∈ D. If Dp is a valuation ring for each let then Huckaba and Papick have asked whether D[x]U must be a Prufer domain. The given example shows that it need not be.

For positive integral n let Cn denote the n-dimensional unit cube with vertices (δ1, δ2,…, δn) where δi = 0 or 1 for i=1, 2,…, n. Call two vertices of Cn adjacent if the distance between them is 1.

Let $A\,:=\,-\,\left( \nabla \,-\,i\overrightarrow{a} \right)\,.\,\left( \nabla \,-\,i\overrightarrow{a} \right)\,+\,V$ be a magnetic Schrödinger operator on ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$, where

$$\vec{a}:=\left( {{a}_{1}},...,{{a}_{n}} \right)\in L_{\text{loc}}^{2}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}},{{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} \right)\operatorname{and}0\le V\in L_{\text{loc}}^{1}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} \right)$$

satisfy some reverse Hölder conditions. Let $\phi :\,{{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}\,\times \,[0,\,\infty )\,\to \,[0,\,\infty )$ be such that $\phi \left( x,\,. \right)$ for any given $x\,\in \,{{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$ is an Orlicz function, $\phi \left( ^{.}\,,\,t \right)\,\in \,{{\mathbb{A}}_{\infty }}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} \right)$ for all $t\,\in \,\left( 0,\,\infty \right)$ (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights) and its uniformly critical upper type index $I\left( \phi \right)\,\in \,(0,\,1]$. In this article, the authors prove that second-order Riesz transforms $V{{A}^{-1}}$ and ${{\left( \nabla \,-\,i\overrightarrow{a} \right)}^{2}}{{A}^{-1}}$ are bounded from the Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space ${{H}_{\phi ,\,A}}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} \right)$, associated with $A$, to theMusielak–Orlicz space ${{L}^{\phi }}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} \right)$. Moreover, we establish the boundedness of $V{{A}^{-1}}$ on ${{H}_{\phi ,\,A}}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} \right)$. As applications, some maximal inequalities associated with $A$ in the scale of ${{H}_{\phi ,\,A}}\left( {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} \right)$ are obtained.

In this paper we tackle the problem of identifying set-valued mappings that are subgradient set-valued mappings. We show that a set-valued mapping is the proximal subgradient mapping of a lower semicontinuous function bounded below by a quadratic if and only if it satisfies a monotone selection property.

The origin and importance of multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problems in mathematical physics has recently been discussed by Atkinson [1, sects. 3 and 4], [2, introduction]. In spite of the importance of such problems, and in spite of the work done in this field by such early investigators as Klein and Hilbert, Atkinson points out that in recent years this field has been relatively neglected in contrast to the single parameter case. As an example, he states that as opposed to the one parameter case, the detailed behaviour of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in the multiparameter Sturm-Liouville case is still far from clear.

J. Marica and J. Schönhein [4], using a theorem of M. Hall, Jr. [3], see below, proved that if any n − 1 arbitrarily chosen elements of the diagonal of an n × n array are prescribed, it is possible to complete the array to form an n × n latin square. This result answers affirmatively a special case of a conjecture of T. Evans [2], to the effect that an n × n incomplete latin square with at most n − 1 places occupied can be completed to an n × n latin square. When the complete diagonal is prescribed, it is easy to see that a counterexample is provided by the case that one letter appears n − 1 times on the diagonal and a second letter appears once. In the present paper, we prove that except in this case the completion to a full latin square is always possible. Completion to a symmetric latin square is also discussed.

Let t be a field and a finite dimensional t-algebra. Auslander-Reiten sequences [AR] play a fundamental rôle in the representation theory of ; in particular, they can be used to construct new indecomposable modules from known ones. For the latter reason I think it worthwile to point out certain torsion theories on the category of -modules, such that the category of -torsionfree modules has Auslander-Reiten sequences; thus giving another construction of indecomposable modules.

This paper proves that if р < s, then 0 is the only function that multiplies a Bergman Lр space into a Bergman Ls space.

We are concerned with the existence proof of solution of the Falkner-Skan equation

The first existence and uniqueness proof based on a fixed point theorem was given by Weyl [4] in 1942, with the added assumption that f' > 0. In 1960, Coppel [1] proved the existence (and uniqueness with the assumption 0 < f' < 1) by considering trajectories in the three-dimensional phase space.

We study the asymptotic properties of positive solutions to the semilinear equation — Δu = f(x, u). Existence and asymptotic estimates are obtained for solutions in exterior domains, as well as entire solutions, for n ≧ 2. The study uses integral operator equations in Rn, and convergence theorems for solutions of Poisson's equation in bounded domains. A consequence of the method is that more precise estimates can be obtained for the growth of solutions at infinity, than have been obtained by other methods. As a special case the results are applied to the generalized Emden-Fowler equation — Δu = p(x)uγ, for γ > 0

In this note we show the existence of a spread which is not a dual spread, thus answering a question in [1]. We also obtain some related results on spreads and partial spreads.

Let ∑ = PG(2t-l, F) be a projective space of odd dimension (2t-l, ≥2) over the field F. In accordance with [1] we make the following definitions. A partial spread S of ∑ is a collection of (t-l)-dimensional projective subspaces of ∑ which are pairwise disjoint (skew).

Let (X, d) be a metric space and Ti(i=l, 2) be self mappings of X. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the fixed and common fixed points of Ti, when the pair Ti(i=l, 2) satisfies a condition of the following type:

Up to a duality, the known finite projective planes which are not translation planes all are equivalent to affine planes which contain the type of structure defined below to be a "derivable net". (Insofar as the known finite planes are concerned, this means that the intimate connection between projective geometry and linear algebra still holds for non-Desarguesian planes.)

We use a variant of a technique used by M. T. Lacey to give sparse $L^{p}(\log (L))^{4}$ bounds for a class of model singular and maximal Radon transforms.

Knopp's inequality for convex functions ϕ on an interval I = [m,M] states that

for an explicit functional H, and all integrable g: [0, 1] → I. In this paper we give results of this kind in which the integral operator, ∫, is replaced by a general isotonic linear functional.
