A group is called an n-torsion group if it has a system of defining relations of the form rⁿ = 1 for some elements r, and for any of its finite order element a the defining relation aⁿ = 1 holds. It is assumed that the group can contain elements of infinite order. In this paper, we show that for every odd n ≥ 665 for each n-torsion group can be constructed a theory similar to that of constructed in S. I. Adian’s well-known monograph on the free Burnside groups. This allows us to explore the n-torsion groups by methods developed in that work. We prove that every n-torsion group can be specified by some independent system of defining relations; the center of any non-cyclic n-torsion group is trivial; the n-periodic product of an arbitrary family of n-torsion groups is an n-torsion group; in any recursively presented n-torsion group the word and conjugacy problems are solvable.

Motivated by the ordinary Gabor frames in L²(ℝ^d) and operator-valued frames on abstract Hilbert spaces, we investigate operator-valued Gabor frames associated with locally compact Abelian groups. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an operator-valued Gabor frame to admit a Parseval/tight Gabor dual are given. In particular, we consider a special case, which includes the case of ordinary Gabor frames.

The main purpose of the present paper is to investigate a number of useful properties such as sufficiency criteria, distortion bounds, coefficient estimates, radius of starlikness and radius of convexity for a new subclass of analytic functions, which are defined here by means of a newly defined q-linear differential operator.

In this paper we construct an integrable function of two variables for which the double Fourier-Walsh series converges both by rectangles and by spheres. Besides, we show that the coefficients of the series on the spectrum are positive and are arranged in decreasing order in all directions. Also, it is proved that after a suitable choice of signs for the Fourier coefficients of the series the spherical partial sums of the obtained series are dense in L^p[0, 1]², p ∈ (0, 1).

It is known that for a wide class of discrete-time stationary processes possessing spectral densities f, the variance σ_n²(f) of the best linear unbiased estimator for the mean depends asymptotically only on the behavior of the spectral density f near the origin, and behaves hyperbolically as n → ∞. In this paper, we obtain necessary as well as sufficient conditions for exponential rate of decrease of σ_n²(f) as n → ∞. In particular, we show that a necessary condition for σ_n²(f) to decrease to zero exponentially is that the spectral density f vanishes on a set of positive measure in any vicinity of zero, and if f vanishes only at the origin, then it is impossible to obtain exponential decay of σ_n²(f), no mater how high the order of the zero of f at the origin.
