The Green function of singular limit-circle problems is constructed directly for the problem, not as a limit of sequences of regular Green's functions. This construction is used to obtain adjointness and self-adjointness conditions which are entirely analogous to the regular case. As an application, a new and explicit formula for the Green function of the classical Legendre problem is found.

Consider the random walk {Sn} whose summands have the distributionP(X=0) = 1-(2/π), andP(X= ±n) = 2/[π(4n2−1)], forn≥ 1. This random walk arises when a simple random walk in the integer plane is observed only at those instants at which the two coordinates are equal. We derive the fundamental matrix, or Green function, for the process on the integral [0,N] = {0,1,…,N}, and from this, an explicit formula for the mean timexkfor the random walk starting fromS0=kto exit the interval. The explicit formula yields the limiting behavior ofxkasN→ ∞ withkfixed. For the random walk starting from zero, the probability of exiting the interval on the right is obtained. By lettingN→ ∞ in the fundamental matrix, the Green function on the interval [0,∞) is found, and a simple and explicit formula for the probability distribution of the point of entry into the interval (−∞,0) for the random walk starting fromk= 0 results. The distributions for some related random variables are also discovered.Applications to stress concentration calculations in discrete lattices are briefly reviewed.


The paper studies the dynamic description of uniaxial and biaxial ferrimagnetics with spin s=1/2 in alternative external field. The nonlinear dynamic equations with sources are obtained, on basis on which low-frequency asymptotics of two-time Green functions in the uniaxial and biaxial cases of the ferrimagnet are obtained. Energy models are constructed that are specific functions of Casimir invariants of the algebra of Poisson brackets for magnetic degrees of freedom. On their basis, the question of the stable magnetic states has been solved for the considered systems. These equations were linearized, an explicit form of the collective excitations spectra was found, and their character was analyzed. The article studies the uniaxial case of a ferrimagnet, as well as biaxial cases of an antiferromagnet, easy-axis and easy-plane ferrimagnets. It is shown that for a uniaxial antiferromagnet the spectrum of magnetic excitations has a Goldstone character. For biaxial ferrimagnetic materials, it was found that the spectrum has either a quadratic character or a more complex dependence on the wave vector. It is shown that in the uniaxial case of an antiferromagnet the Green function of the type Gsα,sβ(k,0), Gsα,nβ(k,0) and Gsα,sβ(0,ω) have regular asymptotic behavior, and the Green function of type Gnα,nβ(k,0)≈1/k2 and Gsα,nβ(0,ω)≈1/ω, Gnα,nβ(0,ω)≈1/ω2 have a pole feature in the wave vector and frequency. Biaxial ferrimagnetic states have another type of the features of low-frequency asymptotics of the Green's functions. In the case of a ferrimagnet, the “easy-axis” of the asymptotic behavior of the Green functions Gsα,sβ(0,ω), Gsα,nβ(0,ω), Gnα,nβ(0,ω), Gsα,sβ(k,0), Gsα,nβ(k,0), Gnα,nβ(k,0) have a pole character. For the case of the “easy-plane” type ferrimagnet, the asymptotics of the Green functions Gsα,nβ(0,ω), Gnα,nβ(0,ω), Gsα,nβ(k,0), Gnα,nβ(k,0), have a pole character, and the Green function Gsα,sβ(k,ω) contains both the pole component and the regular part. A comparative analysis of the low-frequency asymptotics of Green functions shows that the nature of magnetic anisotropy significantly effects the structure of low-frequency asymptotics for uniaxial and biaxial cases of ferrimagnet. Separately, we note the non-Bogolyubov character of the Green function asymptotics for ferrimagnet with biaxial anisotropy Gnα,nβ(k,0)≈1/k4.

Consider the random walk {Sn} whose summands have the distribution P(X=0) = 1-(2/π), and P(X = ± n) = 2/[π(4n2−1)], for n ≥ 1. This random walk arises when a simple random walk in the integer plane is observed only at those instants at which the two coordinates are equal. We derive the fundamental matrix, or Green function, for the process on the integral [0,N] = {0,1,…,N}, and from this, an explicit formula for the mean time xk for the random walk starting from S0 = k to exit the interval. The explicit formula yields the limiting behavior of xk as N → ∞ with k fixed. For the random walk starting from zero, the probability of exiting the interval on the right is obtained. By letting N → ∞ in the fundamental matrix, the Green function on the interval [0,∞) is found, and a simple and explicit formula for the probability distribution of the point of entry into the interval (−∞,0) for the random walk starting from k = 0 results. The distributions for some related random variables are also discovered.Applications to stress concentration calculations in discrete lattices are briefly reviewed.

AbstractWe develop an accurate approximation of the normalized hyperbolic operator sine family generated by a strongly positive operator A in a Banach space X which represents the solution operator for the elliptic boundary value problem. The solution of the corresponding inhomogeneous boundary value problem is found through the solution operator and the Green function. Starting with the Dunford — Cauchy representation for the normalized hyperbolic operator sine family and for the Green function, we then discretize the integrals involved by the exponentially convergent Sinc quadratures involving a short sum of resolvents of A. Our algorithm inherits a two-level parallelism with respect to both the computation of resolvents and the treatment of different values of the spatial variable x ∈ [0, 1].
