Theorems of existence and uniqueness of Cauchy’s problem solution for systems of nonlinear functional and differential equations are proved. During the proof of the theorems the positivity of the Cauchy’s matrix corresponding linear system is used essentially.
The paper addresses the on-line teaching of Calculus using webMathematica interactive electronic tutorials developed by the author. The tutorials are available on the web site http://wm.iedu.ru. It is obvious that e-learning technologies need new pedagogy. It is usually called e-pedagogy. We share and realize the main pedagogical principle of webMathematica based learning. The principle is laid out as follows. To teach mathematics not calculation or math not equal calculating.
In order to reduce the Gibbs phenomenon exhibited by the partial Fourier sums of a periodic function, discontinuous in 0, Driscoll and Fornberg considered so-called singular Fourier-Padé approximants constructed from the Hermite-Padé approximants. Convincing numerical experiments have been obtained by these authors, but no error estimates have been proven so far. In the present paper we study the special case of Nikishin systems and their Hermite-Padé approximants, both theoretically and numerically. We obtain rates of convergence by using orthogonality properties of the functions involved along with results from logarithmic potential theory. In particular, we address the question of how to choose the degrees of the approximants, by considering diagonal and row sequences, as well as linear Hermite-Padé approximants. Our theoretical findings and numerical experiments confirm that these Hermite-Padé approximants are more efficient than the more elementary Padé approximants, particularly around the discontinuity of the goal function.
We consider certain spaces of functions on the circle, which naturally appear in harmonic analysis, and superposition operators on these spaces. We study the following question: which functions have the property that each their superposition with a homeomorphism of the circle belongs to a given space? We also study the multidimensional case.
We consider the spaces of functions on the m-dimensional torus, whose Fourier transform is p -summable. We obtain estimates for the norms of the exponential functions deformed by a C1 -smooth phase. The results generalize to the multidimensional case the one-dimensional results obtained by the author earlier in “Quantitative estimates in the Beurling—Helson theorem”, Sbornik: Mathematics, 201:12 (2010), 1811 – 1836.

Let k be a field of characteristic zero, let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over k and let g be its Lie algebra. Let k(G), respectively, k(g), be the field of k- rational functions on G, respectively, g. The conjugation action of G on itself induces the adjoint action of G on g. We investigate the question whether or not the field extensions k(G)/k(G)^G and k(g)/k(g)^G are purely transcendental. We show that the answer is the same for k(G)/k(G)^G and k(g)/k(g)^G, and reduce the problem to the case where G is simple. For simple groups we show that the answer is positive if G is split of type A_n or C_n, and negative for groups of other types, except possibly G_2. A key ingredient in the proof of the negative result is a recent formula for the unramified Brauer group of a homogeneous space with connected stabilizers. As a byproduct of our investigation we give an affirmative answer to a question of Grothendieck about the existence of a rational section of the categorical quotient morphism for the conjugating action of G on itself.
Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k. In 1965 Steinberg proved that if G is simply connected, then in G there exists a closed irreducible cross-section of the set of closures of regular conjugacy classes. We prove that in arbitrary G such a cross-section exists if and only if the universal covering isogeny Ĝ → G is bijective; this answers Grothendieck's question cited in the epigraph. In particular, for char k = 0, the converse to Steinberg's theorem holds. The existence of a cross-section in G implies, at least for char k = 0, that the algebra k[G]G of class functions on G is generated by rk G elements. We describe, for arbitrary G, a minimal generating set of k[G]G and that of the representation ring of G and answer two Grothendieck's questions on constructing generating sets of k[G]G. We prove the existence of a rational (i.e., local) section of the quotient morphism for arbitrary G and the existence of a rational cross-section in G (for char k = 0, this has been proved earlier); this answers the other question cited in the epigraph. We also prove that the existence of a rational section is equivalent to the existence of a rational W-equivariant map T- - - >G/T where T is a maximal torus of G and W the Weyl group.
