The density of each conjugacy class in the space of mixing Z^d-actions is proved. This result implies the genericity of rank 1, the triviality of the centralizer, and the absence of factors.

The Güting algorithm for constructing multidimensional continued fractions is considered. It is proved that, in the case of dimension 2, this algorithm can be used to find the coefficients of the linear dependence of numbers; a criterion is given for verifying that the partial quotients furnished by the algorithmare, indeed, elements of the continued fraction for the expanded (generally irrational) numbers.

We introduce a class of almost contact metric structures admitting a locally concircular transformation into a quasi-Sasakian structure, namely, locally concircularly quasi-Sasakian structures. We obtain a criterion that singles out this subclass of structures from the class of locally conformally quasi-Sasakian structures. Some applications and generalizations of this result are obtained.

A limit theorem involving an increasing modulus of the character is obtained for twists with the Dirichlet character of L-functions of elliptic curves.

For a system of identical Bose particles sitting at integer energy levels with the probabilities of microstates given by a multiplicative measure with ≥ 2 degrees of freedom, we estimate the probability of the sequence of occupation numbers to be close to the Bose–Einstein distribution as the total energy tends to infinity. We show that a convergence result earlier proved by A.M. Vershik [Functional Anal. Appl. 30 (2), 95–105 (1996)] is a corollary of our theorems.

The solvability of any finite group of the form G = AB is established under the assumption that the subgroups A and B are solvable and KP²-subnormal in the group G.

The solvability of the natural (first, second, and mixed) initial boundary-value problems for nonlinear analogs of the Boussinesq equation is studied. Uniqueness theorems for regular solutions and global solvability theorems are proved.

We investigate the equiconvergence on T^N = [−π, π)^N of expansions in multiple trigonometric Fourier series and in the Fourier integrals of functions f ∈ L_p(T^N) and g ∈ L_p(R^N), p > 1, N ≥ 3, g(x) = f(x) on T^N, in the case where the “partial sums” of these expansions, i.e., S_n(x; f) and J_α(x; g), respectively, have “numbers” n ∈ Z^N and α ∈ R^N (n_j = [α_j], j = 1,..., N, [t] is the integral part of t ∈ R¹) containing N − 1 components which are elements of “lacunary sequences.”

We obtain exact constants in Jackson-type inequalities for smoothness characteristics Λ_k(f), k ∈ N, defined by averaging the kth-order finite differences of functions f ∈ L₂. On the basis of this, for differentiable functions in the classes L₂^r, r ∈ N, we refine the constants in Jackson-type inequalities containing the kth-order modulus of continuity ω_k. For classes of functions defined by their smoothness characteristics Λ_k(f) and majorants Φ satisfying a number of conditions, we calculate the exact values of certain n-widths.

The notions of partial total boundedness of solutions with partially controlled initial conditions and of partial total equiboundedness of solutionswith partially controlled initial conditions are introduced. The direct Lyapunov method and the method of Lyapunov vector functions are used to obtain sufficient conditions for these types of boundedness of the solutions.

Earlier the second author showed that, in the periodic case, the rate of best uniform rational approximations of a function is well described in terms of the rates of best uniform piecewise polynomial approximations of the function itself and its conjugate. In the present paper, a similar result is obtained for a closed interval.

Let R₊:= [0, +∞), and let the matrix functions P, Q, and R of order n, n ∈ N, defined on the semiaxis R₊ be such that P(x) is a nondegenerate matrix, P(x) and Q(x) are Hermitian matrices for x ∈ R₊ and the elements of the matrix functions P⁻¹, Q, and R are measurable on R₊ and summable on each of its closed finite subintervals. We study the operators generated in the space L_n²(R₊) by formal expressions of the form l[f] = −(P(f' − Rf))' − R*P(f' − Rf) + Qf and, as a particular case, operators generated by expressions of the form l[f] = −(P₀f')' + i((Q₀f)' + Q₀f') + P'₁f, where everywhere the derivatives are understood in the sense of distributions and P₀, Q₀, and P₁ are Hermitianmatrix functions of order n with Lebesgue measurable elements such that P₀⁻¹ exists and ǁP0ǁ, ǁP₀⁻¹ǁ, ǁP₀⁻¹ǁǁP₁ǁ², ǁP₀⁻¹ǁǁQ₀ǁ² ∈ L_loc¹(R₊). Themain goal in this paper is to study of the deficiency index of the minimal operator L₀ generated by expression l[f] in L_n²(R₊) in terms of the matrix functions P, Q, and R (P₀, Q₀, and P₁). The obtained results are applied to differential operators generated by expressions of the form \(l[f] = - f'' + \sum\limits_{k = 1}^{ + \infty } {{H_k}} \delta \left( {x - {x_k}} \right)f\), where x_k, k = 1, 2,..., is an increasing sequence of positive numbers, with lim_k→+∞x_k = +∞, H_k is a number Hermitian matrix of order n, and δ(x) is the Dirac δ-function.

Commuting differential operators of rank 2 are considered. With each pair of commuting operators a complex curve called the spectral curve is associated. The genus of this curve is called the genus of the commuting pair. The dimension of the space of common eigenfunctions is called the rank of the commuting operators. The case of rank 1 was studied by I. M. Krichever; there exist explicit expressions for the coefficients of commuting operators in terms of Riemann theta-functions. The case of rank 2 and genus 1 was considered and studied by S. P. Novikov and I.M. Krichever. All commuting operators of rank 3 and genus 1 were found by O. I. Mokhov. A. E. Mironov invented an effective method for constructing operators of rank 2 and genus greater than 1; by using this method, many diverse examples were constructed. Of special interest are commuting operators with polynomial coefficients, which are closely related to the Jacobian problem and many other problems. Common eigenfunctions of commuting operators with polynomial coefficients and smooth spectral curve are found explicitly in the present paper. This has not been done so far.

We establish asymptotically sharp estimates for the sums of the inverses (and more general sums) of the fractional parts {iθ} of irrational numbers θ, depending on the arithmetical characteristics of the numbers θ.
