Full centre of an H -module algebra

We apply the full centre construction, defined in arXiv:0908.1250, to algebras in and module categories over categories of representations of Hopf algebras. We obtain a compact formula for the full centre of a module algebra over a Hopf algebra

Error bound for radial basis interpolation in terms of a growth function

We suggest an improvement of Wu-Schaback local error bound for radial basis interpolation by using a polynomial growth function. The new bound is valid without any assumptions about the density of the interpolation centers. It can be useful for the localized methods of scattered data fitting and for the meshless discretization of partial differential equation

Algorithms and error bounds for multivariate piecewise constant approximation

We review the surprisingly rich theory of approximation of functions of many vari- ables by piecewise constants. This covers for example the Sobolev-Poincar´e inequalities, parts of the theory of nonlinear approximation, Haar wavelets and tree approximation, as well as recent results about approximation orders achievable on anisotropic partitions

Nuclei of categories with tensor products

Following the analogy between algebras (monoids) and monoidal categories the construction of nucleus for non-associative algebras is simulated on the categorical level. Nuclei of categories of modules are considered as an example

Pentagon equation and matrix bialgebras

We classify coproducts on matrix algebra in terms of solutions to some modification of pentagon equation. The construction of Baaj and Skandalis describing finite dimensional unitary solutions of pentagon equation is extended to the non-unitary case. We establish the relation between Hopf-Galois algebras and solutions to modified pentagon equation.Comment: 21 page
