Construction of a linear Pfaff system with m-dimensional time and with given characteristic set and lower characteristic set

详细

For any positive integers n ≥ 1 and m ≥ 2, we give a constructive proof of the existence of linear n-dimensional Pfaff systems with m-dimensional time and with infinitely differentiable coefficient matrices such that the characteristic and lower characteristic sets of these systems are given sets that are the graphs of a concave continuous function and a convex continuous function, respectively, defined and monotone decreasing on simply connected closed bounded convex domains of the space ℝ^m−1.
