where a and W satisfy (a1) a(t) is a continuous almost periodic function of t with a(t) ≥ a0 > 0 for all t ∈ R. (W1) There is a ξ ∈ R\{0} such that W ∈ C(R\{ξ},R). (W2) limx→ξW (x) = −∞. (W3) There is a neighborhood N of ξ and U ∈ C(N\{ξ},R) such that |U(x)| → ∞ as x→ ξ and |U ′(x)|2 ≤ −W (x) for x ∈ N\{ξ}, (W4) W (x) < W (0) = 0 if x 6= 0 and W ′′(0) is negative definite.

Let G be a locally compact group, and let WAP(G) denote the space of weakly almost periodic functions on G. We show that, if G is a [SIN]-group, but not compact, then the dual Banach algebra WAP(G)∗ does not have a normal, virtual diagonal. Consequently, whenever G is an amenable, non-compact [SIN]-group, WAP(G)∗ is an example of a Connes-amenable, dual Banach algebra without a normal, virtual ...

Box 119, Saudi Arabia Abstract Hankel operators and Hankel transforms are required in a number of applications. This article proves a number of theorems that efficiently and accurately approximates a function using Hankel transforms and Hankel sum....

Condition monitoring of premature babies in intensive care can be carried out using a Factorial Switching Linear Dynamical System (FSLDS) [15]. A crucial part of training the FSLDS is the manual calibration stage, where an interval of normality must be identified for each baby that is monitored. In this paper we replace this manual step by using a classifier to predict whether an interval is no...

Champernowne’s number is the best-known example of a normal number, but its digits are far from random. The sequence of nucleotides in the human X-chromosome appears non-random in a similar way. We give a new test of pseudorandomness, strong normality, based on the law of the iterated logarithm. Almost all numbers are strongly normal, and we show that a strongly normal number must necessarily b...

This paper is devoted to the introduction of a new class of consistent estimators of the fractal dimension of locally self-similar Gaussian processes. These estimators are based on linear combinations of empirical quantiles (L−statistics) of discrete variations of a sample path over a discrete grid of the interval [0, 1]. We derive the almost sure convergence for these estimators and prove the ...

This paper is devoted to the introduction of a new class of consistent estimators of the fractal dimension of locally self-similar Gaussian processes. These estimators are based on convex combinations of sample quantiles of discrete variations of a sample path over a discrete grid of the interval [0, 1]. We derive the almost sure convergence and the asymptotic normality for these estimators. Th...

In this paper we give some sufficient conditions, which ensure the existence of pseudo almost periodic solutions to some classes of non-autonomous first-order partial neutral functional-differential with unbounded delay. c © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
