Quasi-Modes in Higher Dimension
2019
Recall that if a(x, ξ) and b(x, ξ) are two C1-functions defined on some domain in \({\mathbf {R}}^{2n}_{x,\xi }\), then we can define the Poisson bracket to be the C0-function on the same domain given by $$\displaystyle \{ a,b\} =a^{\prime }_\xi \cdot b^{\prime }_x-a^{\prime }_x \cdot b^{\prime }_\xi =H_a(b). $$ Here \(H_a=a^{\prime }_\xi \cdot \partial _x-a^{\prime }_x\cdot \partial _\xi \) denotes the Hamilton vector field of a. The following result is due to Zworski, who obtained it via a semi-classical reduction from the above mentioned result of Hormander. A direct proof was given in Dencker et al. and here we give a variant. We will assume some familiarity with symplectic geometry.
Semisimple Lie Algebras
1989
Let F be the field of real or complex numbers. A Lie algebra is a vector space g over F with a Lie product (or commutator) [·,·]: g × g → g such that $$x \mapsto \left[ {x,y} \right]\;is\;linear\;for\;any\;y \in g,$$ (1) $$\left[ {x,y} \right] =- \left[ {y,x} \right],$$ (2) $$\left[ {x,\left[ {y,z} \right]} \right] + \left[ {y,\left[ {z,x} \right]} \right] + \left[ {z,\left[ {x,y} \right]} \right] = 0.$$ (3) The last condition is called the Jacobi identity. From (1) and (2) it follows that also y ↦ [x,y] is linear for any x ∈ g. In this chapter we shall consider only fini te-dimensional Lie algebras. In any vector space g one can always define a trivial Lie product [x,y] = 0. A Lie algebra …
Nonlocal Heat Content
2019
The heat content of a Borel measurable set \(D \subset \mathbb {R}^N\) at time t is defined by M. van der Berg in [69] (see also [70]) as: $$\displaystyle \mathbb {H}_D(t) = \int _D T(t) {\chi }_D (x) dx, $$ with (T(t))t≥0 being the heat semigroup in \(L^2(\mathbb {R}^N)\). Therefore, the heat content represents the amount of heat in D at time t if in D the initial temperature is 1 and in \(\mathbb {R}^N \setminus D\) the initial temperature is 0.
Iterated Conditionals and Characterization of P-Entailment
2021
In this paper we deepen, in the setting of coherence, some results obtained in recent papers on the notion of p-entailment of Adams and its relationship with conjoined and iterated conditionals. We recall that conjoined and iterated conditionals are suitably defined in the framework of conditional random quantities. Given a family \(\mathcal {F}\) of n conditional events \(\{E_{1}|H_{1},\ldots , E_{n}|H_{n}\}\) we denote by \(\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {F})=(E_{1}|H_{1})\wedge \cdots \wedge (E_{n}|H_{n})\) the conjunction of the conditional events in \(\mathcal F\). We introduce the iterated conditional \(\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {F}_{2})|\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {F}_{1})\), where \(\mathcal {F}_{1}\)…
Locally Convex Quasi C*-Algebras and Their Structure
2020
Throughout this chapter \({{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}[\| \cdot \|{ }_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}]\) denotes a unital C*-algebra and τ a locally convex topology on \({{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}\). Let \(\widetilde {{{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}}[\tau ]\) denote the completion of \({{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}\) with respect to the topology τ. Under certain conditions on τ, a subspace \({\mathfrak A}\) of \(\widetilde {{{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}}[\tau ]\), containing \({{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}\), will form (together with \({{\mathfrak A}}_{\scriptscriptstyle 0}\)) a locally convex quasi *-algebra \(({\mathfrak A}[\tau ],{{\mathfrak…
Approximation Operators of Binomial Type
1999
Our objective is to present a unified theory of the approximation operators of binomial type by exploiting the main technique of the so- called “ umbral calculus” or “finite operator calculus” (see [18], [20]-[22]). Let us consider the basic sequence (bn)n≥0 associated to a certain delta operator Q. By supposing that b n (x) ≥ 0, x ∈ [0, ∞), our purpose is to put in evidence some approximation properties of the linear positive operators (L Q n ) n≥1 which are defined on C[0,1] by \( L_n^Qf = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {\beta _n^Q{,_k}f\left( {\frac{k}{n}} \right),\beta _{n{,_k}}^Q\left( x \right): = } \frac{1}{{{b_n}\left( n \right)}}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n \\ k \end{array}} \right){b_…
Action-Angle Variables
2001
In the following we will assume that the Hamiltonian does not depend explicitly on time; ∂H/∂t = 0. Then we know that the characteristic function W(q i , P i ) is the generator of a canonical transformation to new constant momenta P i , (all Q i , are ignorable), and the new Hamiltonian depends only on the P i ,: H = K = K(P i ). Besides, the following canonical equations are valid: $$ \dot Q_i = \frac{{\partial K}} {{\partial P_i }} = v_i = const. $$ (1) $$ \dot P_i = \frac{{\partial K}} {{\partial Q_i }} = 0. $$ (2)
Types of Motion in the Oblate Planet Problem
1985
We consider a mass point in the gravitational field of an oblate planet and in a meridianal plane. The Hamiltonian of the problem is: $$ \frac{1}{2}\left( {p_r^2 + \frac{{p_{\theta }^2}}{{{r^2}}}} \right) - \frac{1}{r} - \frac{\varepsilon }{{{r^3}}}\left( {1 - 3{{\sin }^2}\theta } \right) $$ .
Parameter Estimation for α-Fractional Bridges
2013
Let α, T > 0. We study the asymptotic properties of a least squares estimator for the parameter α of a fractional bridge defined as \(\mathrm{d}X_{t} = -\alpha \, \frac{X_{t}} {T-t}\,\mathrm{d}t + \mathrm{d}B_{t}\), 0 ≤ t \frac{1} {2}\). Depending on the value of α, we prove that we may have strong consistency or not as t → T. When we have consistency, we obtain the rate of this convergence as well. Also, we compare our results to the (known) case where B is replaced by a standard Brownian motion W.
Linear Oscillator with Time-Dependent Frequency
2001
Here is another important example of a path integral calculation, namely the time-dependent oscillator whose Lagrangian is given by $$\displaystyle{ L = \frac{m} {2} \dot{x}^{2} -\frac{m} {2} W(t)x^{2}\;. }$$ (21.1) Since L is quadratic, we again expand around a classical solution so that later on we will be dealing again with the calculation of the following path integral: $$\displaystyle{ \int _{x(t_{i})\,=\,0}^{x(t_{f})\,=\,0}[dx(t)]\text{exp}\left \{ \frac{\text{i}} {\hslash }\,\frac{m} {2} \int _{t_{i}}^{t_{f} }dt\left [\left (\frac{dx} {dt} \right )^{\!2} - W(t)x^{2}\right ]\right \}\;. }$$ (21.2) Using \(x(t_{i}) = 0 = x(t_{f}),\) we can integrate by parts and obtain $$\displaystyle{…
