Comparing the relative volume with a revolution manifold as a model
1993
Given a pair (P, M), whereM is ann-dimensional connected compact Riemannian manifold andP is a connected compact hypersurface ofM, the relative volume of (P, M) is the quotient volume(P)/volume(M). In this paper we give a comparison theorem for the relative volume of such a pair, with some bounds on the Ricci curvature ofM and the mean curvature ofP, with respect to that of a model pair\(\left( {\mathcal{P},\mathcal{M}} \right)\) where ℳ is a revolution manifold and\(\mathcal{P}\) a “parallel” of ℳ.
Asymptotics for thenth-degree Laguerre polynomial evaluated atn
1992
We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of ? n (n),n?? where ? n (x) denotes the Laguerre polynomial of degreen. Our results give a partial answer to the conjecture ?? n (n)>1 forn>6, made in 1984 by van Iseghem. We also show the connection between this conjecture and the continued fraction approximants of $$6\sqrt {{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 \pi }} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} \pi }} $$ .
Optimal Locations and Inner Products
1997
Abstract In a normed space X , we consider objective functions which depend on the distances between a variable point and the points of certain finite sets A . A point where such a function attains its minimum on X is generically called an optimal location. In this paper we obtain characterizations of inner product spaces with properties connecting optimal locations and the convex hull of A or barycenters of points of A with well chosen weights. We thus generalize several classical results about characterization of inner product spaces.
Mappings of finite distortion: discreteness and openness for quasi-light mappings
2005
Abstract Let f ∈ W 1 , n ( Ω , R n ) be a continuous mapping so that the components of the preimage of each y ∈ R n are compact. We show that f is open and discrete if | D f ( x ) | n ⩽ K ( x ) J f ( x ) a.e. where K ( x ) ⩾ 1 and K n − 1 / Φ ( log ( e + K ) ) ∈ L 1 ( Ω ) for a function Φ that satisfies ∫ 1 ∞ 1 / Φ ( t ) d t = ∞ and some technical conditions. This divergence condition on Φ is shown to be sharp.
Old and New on the Quasihyperbolic Metric
1998
Let D be a proper subdomain of \( {\mathbb{R}^d}\). Following Gehring and Palka [GP] we define the quasihyperbolic distance between a pair x 1, x 2 of points in D as the infimum of \( {\smallint _\gamma }\frac{{ds}}{{D\left( {x,\partial D} \right)}}\) over all rectifiable curves γ joining x 1, x 2 in D. We denote the quasihyperbolic distance between x 1, x 2 by k D (x 1, x 2). As pointed out by Gehring and Osgood [GO], x 1 and x 2 can be joined by a quasihyperbolic geodesic; also see [Mr]. The quasihyperbolic metric is comparable to the usual hyperbolic metric in a simply connected plane domain by the Koebe distortion theorem. For a multiply connected plane domain D these two metrics are co…
Periodic Solutions of the Second Order Quadratic Rational Difference Equation $$x_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha }{(1+x_n)x_{n-1}} $$ x n + 1 = α ( 1 + x n ) x n…
2016
The aim of this article is to investigate the periodic nature of solutions of a rational difference equation $$x_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha }{(1+x_n)x_{n-1}}. {(*)} $$ We explore Open Problem 3.3 given in Amleh et al. (Int J Differ Equ 3(1):1–35, 2008, [2]) that requires to determine all periodic solutions of the equation (*). We conclude that for the equation (*) there are no periodic solution with prime period 3 and 4. Period 7 is first period for which exists nonnegative parameter \(\alpha \) and nonnegative initial conditions.
Composition of quasiconformal mappings and functions in Triebel-Lizorkin spaces
2012
Let α > 0 and p ∈ [1, ∞) satisfy αp ≤ n. Suppose that f: Rn Rn is a K-quasiconformal mapping and let u ∈ Wα, p(Rn) have compact support. We find an optimal value of β = β(α, K, n) such that u○f ∈ Wβ, p(Rn). We also give an answer to the analogous problem where we moreover assume that u is bounded.
The constant osculating rank of the Wilking manifold
2008
We prove that the osculating rank of the Wilking manifold V3 = (SO (3) × SU (3)) / U• (2), endowed with the metric over(g, )1, equals 2. The knowledge of the osculating rank allows us to solve the differential equation of the Jacobi vector fields. These results can be applied to determine the area and the volume of geodesic spheres and balls. To cite this article: E. Macias-Virgos et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Hölder inequality for functions that are integrable with respect to bilinear maps
2008
Let $(\Omega, \Sigma, \mu)$ be a finite measure space, $1\le p<\infty$, $X$ be a Banach space $X$ and $B:X\times Y \to Z$ be a bounded bilinear map. We say that an $X$-valued function $f$ is $p$-integrable with respect to $B$ whenever $\sup_{\|y\|=1} \int_\Omega \|B(f(w),y)\|^p\,d\mu<\infty$. We get an analogue to Hölder's inequality in this setting.
The Ptolemy and Zbăganu constants of normed spaces
2010
Abstract In every inner product space H the Ptolemy inequality holds: the product of the diagonals of a quadrilateral is less than or equal to the sum of the products of the opposite sides. In other words, ‖ x − y ‖ ‖ z − w ‖ ≤ ‖ x − z ‖ ‖ y − w ‖ + ‖ z − y ‖ ‖ x − w ‖ for any points w , x , y , z in H . It is known that for each normed space ( X , ‖ ⋅ ‖ ) , there exists a constant C such that for any w , x , y , z ∈ X , we have ‖ x − y ‖ ‖ z − w ‖ ≤ C ( ‖ x − z ‖ ‖ y − w ‖ + ‖ z − y ‖ ‖ x − w ‖ ) . The smallest such C is called the Ptolemy constant of X and is denoted by C P ( X ) . We study the relationships between this constant and the geometry of the space X , and hence with metric fix…
