Evaluation of a boundary integral representation for the conformal mapping of the unit disk onto a simply-connected domain

A representation of the conformal mapping g of the interior or exterior of the unit circle onto a simply-connected domain Ω as a boundary integral in terms ofƒ|∂Ω is obtained, whereƒ :=g -l. A product integration scheme for the approximation of the boundary integral is described and analysed. An ill-conditioning problem related to the domain geometry is discussed. Numerical examples confirm the conclusions of this discussion and support the analysis of the quadrature scheme.

On computational aspects of discrete Sobolev inner products on the unit circle

In this paper, we show how to compute in O(n2) steps the Fourier coefficients associated with the Gelfand-Levitan approach for discrete Sobolev orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle when the support of the discrete component involving derivatives is located outside the closed unit disk. As a consequence, we deduce the outer relative asymptotics of these polynomials in terms of those associated with the original orthogonality measure. Moreover, we show how to recover the discrete part of our Sobolev inner product. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Spectral invariants of periodic nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems

For an interval map, the poles of the Artin-Mazur zeta function provide topological invariants which are closely connected to topological entropy. It is known that for a time-periodic nonautonomous dynamical system F with period p, the p-th power [zeta(F) (z)](p) of its zeta function is meromorphic in the unit disk. Unlike in the autonomous case, where the zeta function zeta(f)(z) only has poles in the unit disk, in the p-periodic nonautonomous case [zeta(F)(z)](p) may have zeros. In this paper we introduce the concept of spectral invariants of p-periodic nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems and study the role played by the zeros of [zeta(F)(z)](p) in this context. As we will see, these zeros play an important role in the spectral classification of these systems.

Asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials via the Koosis theorem

The main aim of this short paper is to advertize the Koosis theorem in the mathematical community, especially among those who study orthogonal polynomials. We (try to) do this by proving a new theorem about asymptotics of orthogonal polynomi- als for which the Koosis theorem seems to be the most natural tool. Namely, we consider the case when a SzegÄo measure on the unit circumference is perturbed by an arbitrary measure inside the unit disk and an arbitrary Blaschke sequence of point masses outside the unit disk.

Croissance des fonctions propres du laplacien sur un domaine circulaire

Ce mémoire a pour but d'étudier les propriétés des solutions à l'équation aux valeurs propres de l'opérateur de Laplace sur le disque lorsque les valeurs propres tendent vers l'in ni. En particulier, on s'intéresse au taux de croissance des normes ponctuelle et L1. Soit D le disque unitaire et @D sa frontière (le cercle unitaire). On s'inté- resse aux solutions de l'équation aux valeurs propres f = f avec soit des conditions frontières de Dirichlet (fj@D = 0), soit des conditions frontières de Neumann ( @f @nj@D = 0 ; notons que sur le disque, la dérivée normale est simplement la dérivée par rapport à la variable radiale : @ @n = @ @r ). Les fonctions propres correspondantes sont données par : f (r; ) = fn;m(r; ) = Jn(kn;mr)(Acos(n ) + B sin(n )) (Dirichlet) fN (r; ) = fN n;m(r; ) = Jn(k0 n;mr)(Acos(n ) + B sin(n )) (Neumann) où Jn est la fonction de Bessel de premier type d'ordre n, kn;m est son m- ième zéro et k0 n;m est le m-ième zéro de sa dérivée (ici on dénote les fonctions propres pour le problème de Dirichlet par f et celles pour le problème de Neumann par fN). Dans ce cas, on obtient que le spectre SpD( ) du laplacien sur D, c'est-à-dire l'ensemble de ses valeurs propres, est donné par : SpD( ) = f : f = fg = fk2 n;m : n = 0; 1; 2; : : :m = 1; 2; : : :g (Dirichlet) SpN D( ) = f : fN = fNg = fk0 n;m 2 : n = 0; 1; 2; : : :m = 1; 2; : : :g (Neumann) En n, on impose que nos fonctions propres soient normalisées par rapport à la norme L2 sur D, c'est-à-dire : R D F2 da = 1 (à partir de maintenant on utilise F pour noter les fonctions propres normalisées et f pour les fonctions propres quelconques). Sous ces conditions, on s'intéresse à déterminer le taux de croissance de la norme L1 des fonctions propres normalisées, notée jjF jj1, selon . Il est vi important de mentionner que la norme L1 d'une fonction sur un domaine correspond au maximum de sa valeur absolue sur le domaine. Notons que dépend de deux paramètres, m et n et que la dépendance entre et la norme L1 dépendra du rapport entre leurs taux de croissance. L'étude du comportement de la norme L1 est étroitement liée à l'étude de l'ensemble E(D) qui est l'ensemble des points d'accumulation de log(jjF jj1)= log : Notre principal résultat sera de montrer que [7=36; 1=4] E(B2) [1=18; 1=4]: Le mémoire est organisé comme suit. L'introdution et les résultats principaux sont présentés au chapitre 1. Au chapitre 2, on rappelle quelques faits biens connus concernant les fonctions propres du laplacien sur le disque et sur les fonctions de Bessel. Au chapitre 3, on prouve des résultats concernant la croissance de la norme ponctuelle des fonctions propres. On montre notamment que, si m=n ! 0, alors pour tout point donné (r; ) du disque, la valeur de F (r; ) décroit exponentiellement lorsque ! 1. Au chapitre 4, on montre plusieurs résultats sur la croissance de la norme L1. Le probl ème avec conditions frontières de Neumann est discuté au chapitre 5 et on présente quelques résultats numériques au chapitre 6. Une brève discussion et un sommaire de notre travail se trouve au chapitre 7.

Bieberbach's Conjecture, the de Branges and Weinstein Functions and the Askey-Gasper Inequality

The Bieberbach conjecture about the coefficients of univalent functions of the unit disk was formulated by Ludwig Bieberbach in 1916 [Bieberbach1916]. The conjecture states that the coefficients of univalent functions are majorized by those of the Koebe function which maps the unit disk onto a radially slit plane. The Bieberbach conjecture was quite a difficult problem, and it was surprisingly proved by Louis de Branges in 1984 [deBranges1985] when some experts were rather trying to disprove it. It turned out that an inequality of Askey and Gasper [AskeyGasper1976] about certain hypergeometric functions played a crucial role in de Branges' proof. In this article I describe the historical development of the conjecture and the main ideas that led to the proof. The proof of Lenard Weinstein (1991) [Weinstein1991] follows, and it is shown how the two proofs are interrelated. Both proofs depend on polynomial systems that are directly related with the Koebe function. At this point algorithms of computer algebra come into the play, and computer demonstrations are given that show how important parts of the proofs can be automated.

New results and open problems on Toeplitz operators in Bergman spaces

We discuss some of the recent progress in the field of Toeplitz operators acting on Bergman spaces of the unit disk, formulate some new results, and describe a list of open problems -- concerning boundedness, compactness and Fredholm properties -- which was presented at the conference "Recent Advances in Function Related Operator Theory'' in Puerto Rico in March 2010.

Hankel operators on Fock spaces

We study Hankel operators on the weighted Fock spaces Fp. The boundedness and compactness of these operators are characterized in terms of BMO and VMO, respectively. Along the way, we also study Berezin transform and harmonic conjugates on the plane. Our results are analogous to Zhu's characterization of bounded and compact Hankel operators on Bergman spaces of the unit disk.

Toeplitz operators on Dirichlet-Besov spaces

We study Toeplitz operators on the Besov spaces in the case of the open unit disk. We prove that a symbol satisfying a weak Lipschitz type condition induces a bounded Toeplitz operator. Such symbols do not need to be bounded functions or have continuous extensions to the boundary of the open unit disk. We discuss the problem of the existence of nontrivial compact Toeplitz operators, and also consider Fredholm properties and prove an index formula.

WEAVE: Efficient Geographical Routing in Large-Scale Networks

We propose WEAVE, a geographical 2D/3D routing protocol that maintains information on a small number of waypoints and checkpoints for forwarding packets to any destination. Nodes obtain the routing information from partial traces gathered in incoming packets and use a system of checkpoints along with the segments of routes to weave end-to-end paths close to the shortest ones. WEAVE does not generate any control traffic, it is suitable for routing in both 2D and 3D networks, and does not require any strong assumption on the underlying network graph such as the Unit Disk or a Planar Graph. WEAVE compares favorably with existing protocols in both testbed experiments and simulations.

A 3D multi-objective optimization planning algorithm for wireless sensor networks

The complexity of planning a wireless sensor network is dependent on the aspects of optimization and on the application requirements. Even though Murphy's Law is applied everywhere in reality, a good planning algorithm will assist the designers to be aware of the short plates of their design and to improve them before the problems being exposed at the real deployment. A 3D multi-objective planning algorithm is proposed in this paper to provide solutions on the locations of nodes and their properties. It employs a developed ray-tracing scheme for sensing signal and radio propagation modelling. Therefore it is sensitive to the obstacles and makes the models of sensing coverage and link quality more practical compared with other heuristics that use ideal unit-disk models. The proposed algorithm aims at reaching an overall optimization on hardware cost, coverage, link quality and lifetime. Thus each of those metrics are modelled and normalized to compose a desirability function. Evolutionary algorithm is designed to efficiently tackle this NP-hard multi-objective optimization problem. The proposed algorithm is applicable for both indoor and outdoor 3D scenarios. Different parameters that affect the performance are analyzed through extensive experiments; two state-of-the-art algorithms are rebuilt and tested with the same configuration as that of the proposed algorithm. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm converges efficiently within 600 iterations and performs better than the compared heuristics.
