F-Sobolev Inequality for General Symmetric Forms

Some sufficient conditions for the F-Sobolev inequality for symmetric forms are presented in terms of new Cheeger’s constants. Meanwhile, an estimate of the F-Sobolev constants is obtained.

On the Orthogonal Decomposition of a Flat Symmetric Bilinear Form

In this paper, we proved a theorem on the orthogonal decomposition of a flatsymmetric bilinear form. If the nullity space of a flat symmetric bilinear formis not too large, it can be decomposed into two bilinear forms, one of which isnull, the other is flat and has a large nullity.

LOCAL PETROV-GALERKIN METHOD FOR A THIN PLATE

The meshless local Petrov_Galerkin (MLPG) method for solving the bending problem of the thin plate were presented and discussed. The method used the moving least_squares approximation to interpolate the solution variables, and employed a local symmetric weak form. The present method was a truly meshless one as it did not need a finite element or boundary element mesh, either for purpose of interpolation of the solution, or for the integration of the energy. All integrals could be easily evaluated over regularly shaped domains (in general, spheres in three_dimensional problems) and their boundaries. The essential boundary conditions were enforced by the penalty method. Several numerical examples were presented to illustrate the implementation and performance of the present method. The numerical examples presented show that high accuracy can be achieved for arbitrary grid geometries for clamped and simply_supported edge conditions. No post processing procedure is required to computer the strain and stress, since the original solution from the present method, using the moving least squares approximation, is already smooth enough.

Nash Inequalities for General Symmetric Forms

This paper deals with the Nash inequalities and the related ones for general symmetric forms which can be very much unbounded. Some sufficient conditions in terms of the isoperimetric inequalities and some necessary conditions for the inequalities are presented. The resulting conditions can be sharp qualitatively as illustrated by some examples. It turns out that for a probability measure, the Nash inequalities are much stronger than the Poincare and the logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in the present context.

L^P-Poincaré Inequality for General Symmetric Forms

Lp Poincare inequalities for general symmetric forms are established by new Cheeger＇s isoperimetric constants. Lp super-Poincare inequalities are introduced to describe the equivalent conditions for the Lp compact embedding, and the criteria via the new Cheeger＇s constants for those inequalities are presented. Finally, the concentration or the volume growth of measures for these inequalities are studied.

Weak log-Sobolev and Lp weak Poincare inequalities for general symmetric forms

Weak log-Sobolev and Lp weak Poincare inequalities for general symmetric forms are investigated by using newly defined Cheeger＇s isoperimetric constants. Some concrete examples of ergodic birth-death processes are also presented to illustrate the results.

Estimates for Fourier Coefficients of Cusp Forms in Weight Aspect

Let f be a holomorphic Hecke eigenform of weight k for the modular groupΓ = SL2(Z) and let λf(n) be the n-th normalized Fourier coefficient. In this paper, by a new estimate of the second integral moment of the symmetric square L-function related to f, the estimate 1λf(n21) x2 k2(log(x + k))6n≤x is established, which improves the previous result.

Some Anzahl Theorems in Symmetric Matrices over Finite Local Rings (Ⅰ)

Let An（R） be the set of symmetric matrices over Z/p^kZ with order n, where n 〉 2, p is a prime, p 〉 2 and p≡1（mod4）, k 〉 1. By determining the normal form of n by n symmetric matrices over Z/p^kZ, we compute the number of the orbits of An（R） and then compute the order of the orthogonal group determined by the special symmetric matrix. Finally we get the number of the symmetric matrices which are in the same orbit with the special symmetric matrix.

A Cheeger-Mller Theorem for Symmetric Bilinear Torsions

The authors establish a Cheeger-Müller type theorem for the complex valued analytic torsion introduced by Burghelea and Hailer for fiat vector bundles carrying nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms. As a consequence, they prove the Burghelea-Haller conjecture in full generality, which gives an analytic interpretation of （the square of） the Turaev torsion.

On Exit Time from Balls of Jump-type Symmetric Markov Processes

We obtain upper and lower bounds of the exit times from balls of a jump-type symmetric Markov process. The proofs are delivered separately. The upper bounds are obtained by using the Levy system corresponding to the process, while the precise expression of the （L^2-）generator of the Dirichlet form associated with the process is used to obtain the lower bounds.
