L It is a result familiar in the theory of automorphic form s that an entire automorphic form of positive dimension on an H-group is identically zero (see sec. 2 for the definitions). This follows immediately , for exa mple, from the well-known exac t formula for the Fourier coefficie nts of automorphic forms of positive dimension ([1], p. 314).1 Another proof is by means of a formula for the numbe r of zeros minus the number of poles of an automorphic form in a fundamental domain. This formula (obtained by contour integration around the fundamental domain) shows that whe n the dime nsion of the form is positive, thi s difference is negative, and he nce such a form mu st have poles. In section 3 of thi s note we give what appears to be a new proof of this result by using the method Hecke e mployed to estimate the Fourier coeffi cients of cusp forms of negative dimension ([1] , p. 281). I This proof is simpler and more direc t than the proofs mentioned above. In sections 45 we give two variations of this method. The me thod of section 5 is applicable to a larger class of groups than the H-groups , and in particular applies to compact groups and groups conjugate to H-groups. 2. A group r of real linear fractional transformations acting on :J't', the upper half-plane 1m 7 > 0, is an H-group provided (i) r is discontinuous on :J't', but is not di scontinuous at any point of the real line, (ii) r is finitely generated, and (ii i) r contains translations.

Th e complex, not necessaril y square matrix A is called a partial isometry if the vectors x and A x have the same Euclidean norm whenever x is in the orthogonal complement of the null space of A. The main result s of the paper give necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be a partial isometry, for a partial isometry to be normal and for the product of two partial isometries to be a partial isometry. A factorization for an arbitrary matrix involving partial isometries is given. The concept of a ge neralized inverse is used in establishing the primary results .

Simple bounds are established for the solutions of second-order homogeneous linear difference equations in ranges in which the solutions are exponential in character. The results are applied to a recent algorithm for the computation of subdominant solutions of second-order linear difference equations, homogeneous or otherwise. Strict and extremely realistic bounds are obtained for the truncation error associated with the algorithm in a number of examples, including Anger·Weber functions, Struve functions , and the solution of a differential equation in Chebyshev series.

Abstract : The Pseudo Primal-Dual Algorithm solves the pure integer programming problem in two stages, systemmatically violating and restoring dual feasibility while maintaining an all-integer matrix. The algorithm is related to the Gomory All-Integer Algorithm and the Young Primal Integer Programming Algorithm, differing from the former in the dual feasible stage by the choice of cuts and pivot variable, and from the latter in the dual infeasible stage by the use of a more rigid (and faster) rule for restoring dual feasibility. The net advance in the objective function value produced by the algorithm between two consecutive stages of dual infeasibility is shown to be at least as great as that produced by pivoting with the dual simplex method. Example problems are given that illustrate basic features and variations of the method. (Author)
