Estimates of weighted Hardy-Littlewood averages on the p-adic vector space

In the p-adic vector space , we characterize those non-negative functions ψ defined on for which the weighted Hardy-Littlewood average is bounded on (1?r?∞), and on . Also, in each case, we find the corresponding operator norm ‖Uψ‖.     

Generalized almost periodic and ergodic solutions of linear differential equations on the half-line in Banach spaces

The Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem states that the indefinite integral y=Pφ of an almost periodic (ap) is again ap if y is bounded and the Banach space X does not contain a subspace isomorphic to c₀. This is here generalized in several directions: Instead of it holds also for φ defined only on a half-line , instead of ap functions abstract classes with suitable properties are admissible, can be weakened to φ in some “mean” class , then ; here contains all f∈L¹_loc with in for all h>0 (usually strictly); furthermore, instead of boundedness of y mean boundedness, y in some , or in , ergodic functions, suffices. The Loomis-Doss result on the almost periodicity of a bounded Ψ for which all differences Ψ(t+h)−Ψ(t) are ap for h>0 is extended analogously, also to higher order differences. Studying “difference spaces” in this connection, we obtain decompositions of the form: Any bounded measurable function is the sum of a bounded ergodic function and the indefinite integral of a bounded ergodic function. The Bohr-Neugebauer result on the almost periodicity of bounded solutions y of linear differential equations P(D)y=φ of degree m with ap φ is extended similarly for ; then provided, for example, y is in some with U=L^∞ or is totally ergodic and, for the half-line, Reλ?0 for all eigenvalues P(λ)=0. Analogous results hold for systems of linear differential equations. Special case: φ bounded and Pφ ergodic implies Pφ bounded. If all Reλ>0, there exists a unique solution y growing not too fast; this y is in if , for quite general .     

Limiting subdifferentials of indefinite integrals

We compute the limiting subdifferential of the indefinite integral of the form where f is an essentially bounded measurable function, or a function continuous on an interval containing (except for, possibly, ), or a step-function which has a countable number of steps around . The related problem of computing the Aumann integral of the limiting subdifferential mapping ∂f(⋅), where f is a Lipschitz real function defined on an open set U⊂Rn, is also investigated.     

Additive maps on standard operator algebras preserving parts of the spectrum

Let and be standard operator algebras on infinite dimensional complex Banach spaces X and Y, respectively, and let Φ be a unital additive surjection from  onto . We introduce thirteen parts of the spectrum for elements in  and , and prove that if Φ preserves any one of these parts of the spectrum, then it is either an isomorphism or an anti-isomorphism.     

Positive solutions and eigenvalue intervals of nonlocal boundary value problems with delays

The paper is concerned with the delay differential equation u^″+λb(t)f(u(t−τ))=0 satisfying u(t)=0 for −τ?t?0 and , where denotes the Riemann-Stieltjes integral. By applying the fixed point theorem in cones, we show the relationship between the asymptotic behaviors of the quotient (at zero and infinity) and the open intervals (eigenvalue intervals) of the parameter λ such that the problem has zero, one and two positive solution(s). If g(t)=t, by using a property of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral, the above nonlocal boundary value problem educes a three-point boundary value problem with delay, for which some similar results are established.     

C-Weierstrass for compact sets in Hilbert space

The C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for any compact subset X of a Hilbert space . The same theorem is also proved for Whitney 1-jets on X when X satisfies the following further condition: There exist finite dimensional linear subspaces such that ?_n?1H_n is dense in and π_n(X)=X∩H_n for each n?1. Here, is the orthogonal projection. It is also shown that when X is compact convex with and satisfies the above condition, then C¹(X) is complete if and only if the C¹-Whitney extension theorem holds for X. Finally, for compact subsets of , an extension of the C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for C¹ maps with compact derivatives.     

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

A generalization of Barbashin-Krasovski theorem

The classical criterion of asymptotic stability of the zero solution of equations x^′=f(t,x) is that there exists a function V(t,x), a(‖x‖)?V(t,x)?b(‖x‖) for some a,b∈K, such that for some c∈K. In this paper we prove that if f(t,x) is bounded, is uniformly continuous and bounded, then the condition that can be weakened and replaced by and contains no complete trajectory of , t∈[−T,T], where , uniformly for (t,x)∈[−T,T]×BH.     

Stable functions and Vietoris' theorem

An analytic function f(z) in the unit disc D is called stable if s_n(f,·)/f?1/f holds for all for . Here s_n stands for the nth partial sum of the Taylor expansion about the origin of f, and ? denotes the subordination of analytic functions in . We prove that (1−z)^λ, λ∈[−1,1], are stable. The stability of turns out to be equivalent to a famous result of Vietoris on non-negative trigonometric sums. We discuss some generalizations of these results, and related conjectures, always with an eye on applications to positivity results for trigonometric and other polynomials.     

A class of Loewner chain preserving extension operators

We consider operators that extend locally univalent mappings of the unit disk Δ in C to locally biholomorphic mappings of the Euclidean unit ball B of Cn. For such an operator Φ, we seek conditions under which etΦ(e−tf(⋅,t)), t?0, is a Loewner chain on B whenever f(⋅,t), t?0, is a Loewner chain on Δ. We primarily study operators of the form , , where β∈[0,1/2] and is holomorphic, finding that, for ΦG,β to preserve Loewner chains, the maximum degree of terms appearing in the expansion of G is a function of β. Further applications involving Bloch mappings and radius of starlikeness are given, as are elementary results concerning extreme points and support points.     

Spectral conditions for admissibility of evolution equations in Hilbert space

We study properties of solutions of the evolution equation , where B is a closable operator on the space AP(R,H) of almost periodic functions with values in a Hilbert space H such that B commutes with translations. The operator B generates a family of closed operators on H such that (whenever eiλtx∈D(B)). For a closed subset Λ⊂R, we prove that the following properties (i) and (ii) are equivalent: (i) for every function f∈AP(R,H) such that σ(f)⊆Λ, there exists a unique mild solution u∈AP(R,H) of Eq. (∗) such that σ(u)⊆Λ; (ii) is invertible for all λ∈Λ and .     

On controlled extensions of functions

For any numerical function we give sufficient conditions for resolving the controlled extension problem for a closed subset A of a normal space X. Namely, if the functions , and satisfy the equality E(f(a),g(a))=h(a), for every a∈A, then we are interested to find the extensions f? and ? of f and g, respectively, such that , for every x∈X. We generalize earlier results concerning E(u,v)=u·v by using the techniques of selections of paraconvex-valued LSC mappings and soft single-valued mappings.     

Convergence in mean of some random Fourier series

For a symmetric stable process X(t,ω) with index α∈(1,2], f∈Lp[0,2π], p?α, and , we establish that the random Fourier-Stieltjes (RFS) series converges in the mean to the stochastic integral , where fβ is the fractional integral of order β of the function f for . Further it is proved that the RFS series is Abel summable to . Also we define fractional derivative of the sum of order β for an, An(ω) as above and . We have shown that the formal fractional derivative of the series of order β exists in the sense of mean.     

Remarks on Hardy spaces defined by non-smooth approximate identity

We study in this paper some relations between Hardy spaces which are defined by non-smooth approximate identity ?(x), and the end-point Triebel-Lizorkin spaces (1?q?∞). First, we prove that for compact ? which satisfies a slightly weaker condition than Fefferman and Stein's condition. Then we prove that non-trivial Hardy space defined by approximate identity ? must contain Besov space . Thirdly, we construct certain functions and a function such that Daubechies wavelet function but .
