It is intuitively obvious that if z is a complex number such that ∣1–zv∣ ≤ b ≺ 1 for all positive integers p and some real number b, then z = 1. The purpose of this note is to exhibit a proof of the following generalisation of this observation: THEOREM. Let A be continuous linear operator on a reflexive Banachspace B. If there exists a continuous linear operator T on B, a real number b, and a positive integer p' such that, p an integer and , then A = I. Moreover, in this case ∥I—T∥.

We study generalized continued fraction expansions of the form $$\begin{eqnarray}\frac{a_{1}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{2}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{3}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{}{\cdots },\end{eqnarray}$$ where $N$ is a fixed positive integer and the partial numerators $a_{i}$ are positive integers for all $i$ . We call these expansions $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions and show that every positive real number has infinitely many $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions for each $N$ . In particular, we study the $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions of rational numbers and quadratic irrationals. Finally, we show that every positive real number has, for each $N$ , a $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansion with bounded partial numerators.

For any positive integers n and v letwhere d runs through all the positive divisors of n. For each positive integer k and real x > 1, denote by N(v, k; x) the number of positive integers n ≦ x for which σv(n) is not divisible by k. Then Watson [6] has shown that, when v is odd,as x → ∞; it is assumed here and throughout that v and k are fixed and independent of x. It follows, in particular, that σ (n) is almost always divisible by k. A brief account of the ideas used by Watson will be found in § 10.6 of Hardy's book on Ramanujan [2].

AbstractLetx0<x1<x2< ⋅⋅⋅ be an increasing sequence of positive integers given by the formulaxn=⌊βxn−1+ γ⌋ forn=1, 2, 3, . . ., where β > 1 and γ are real numbers andx0is a positive integer. We describe the conditions on integersbd, . . .,b0, not all zero, and on a real number β > 1 under which the sequence of integerswn=bdxn+d+ ⋅⋅⋅ +b0xn,n=0, 1, 2, . . ., is bounded by a constant independent ofn. The conditions under which this sequence can be ultimately periodic are also described. Finally, we prove a lower bound on the complexity function of the sequenceqxn+1−pxn∈ {0, 1, . . .,q−1},n=0, 1, 2, . . ., wherex0is a positive integer,p>q> 1 are coprime integers andxn=⌈pxn−1/q⌉ forn=1, 2, 3, . . . A similar speculative result concerning the complexity of the sequence of alternatives (F:x↦x/2 orS:x↦(3x+1)/2) in the 3x+1 problem is also given.

1. In deriving an expression for the number of representations of a sufficiently large integer N in the formwhere k: is a positive integer, s(k) a suitably large function of k and pi is a prime number, i = 1, 2, …, s(k), by Vinogradov's method it is necessary to obtain estimates for trigonometrical sums of the typewhere ω = l/k and the real number a satisfies 0 ≦ α ≦ 1 and is “near” a rational number a/q, (a, q) = 1, with “large” denominator q. See Estermann (1), Chapter 3, for the case k = 1 or Hua (2), for the general case. The meaning of “near” and “arge” is made clear below—Lemma 4—as it is necessary for us to quote Hua's estimate. In this paper, in Theorem 1, an estimate is obtained for the trigonometrical sumwhere α satisfies the same conditions as above and where π denotes a squarefree number with r prime factors. This estimate enables one to derive expressions for the number of representations of a sufficiently large integer N in the formwhere s(k) has the same meaning as above and where πri, i = 1, 2, …, s(k), denotes a square-free integer with ri prime factors.

Following Lotz, Peck and Porta [9], a continuous linear operator from one Banach space into another is called a semi-embedding if it is one-to-one and maps the closed unit ball of the domain onto a closed (hence complete) set. (Below we shall allow the codomain to be an F-space, i.e., a complete metrisable topological vector space.) One of the main results established in [9] is that if X is a compact scattered space, then every semi-embedding of C(X) into another Banach space is an isomorphism ([9], Main Theorem, (a)⇒(b)).

In this paper, we give a relationship between the exotic Laplacians and the Lévy Laplacians in terms of the higher-order derivatives of white noise by introducing a bijective and continuous linear operator acting on white noise functionals. Moreover, we study a relationship between exotic Laplacians, acting on higher-order singular functionals, each other in terms of the constructed operator.

Let μ be a probability measure on the real line ℝ, x a real number and δ(x) the probability atom concentrated at x. Stam made the interesting observation that eitheror else(ii) δ(x)* μn, are mutually singular for all positive integers n.

Talagrand has shown [4, p. 76] that there exists a continuous linear operator from L1[0, 1] to c0 which is not a Dunford-Pettis operator. In contrast to this result, Gretsky and Ostroy [2] have recently proved that every positive operator from L[0, 1] to c0 is a Dunford-Pettis operator, hence that every regular operator between these spaces (i.e. a difference of positive operators) is Dunford-Pettis.
