✦ Synopsis

Hankel partial contraction is a Hankel matrix such that not all of its entries are determined, but in which every well-defined submatrix is a contraction. We address the problem of whether a Hankel partial contraction in which the upper left triangle is known can be completed to a contraction. It is known that the 2 = 2 and 3 = 3 cases can be solved, and that 4 = 4 Hankel partial contractions cannot always be completed. We introduce a technique that allows us to exhibit concrete examples of such 4 = 4 matrices, and to analyze in detail the dependence of the solution set on the given data. At the same time, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the given cross-diagonals in order for the matrix to be completed. We also study the problem of extending a contractive Hankel block of size n to one of size n q 1.

We give an explicit criterion for when a pulse will first contract before eventually spreading. The contraction time is explicitly given and it is shown that the important quantity is the initial correlation between position and group velocity. A simple physical model is presented that explains why

This paper is devoted to the study of contraction semigroups generated by linear partial differential operators. It is shown that linear partial differential operators of order higher than two cannot generate contraction semigroups on (L p ) N for p # [1, ) unless p=2. If p>1 and the L p -dissipativ
