Sharp interpolation theorems in couples of l p spaces for generalized Lions-Peetre spaces of means

Sharp interpolation theorems for linear operators acting on arbitrary couples of L _p spaces are found in the family of generalized Lions-Peetre spaces of means. This family includes the Lorentz spaces with functional quasi-concave parameters, the Orlicz spaces, and spaces similar to them.     

On strong solutions of a Robin problem modelling heat conduction in materials with corroded boundary

Motivated by a practical problem on a corrosion process, we shall study a third kind of BVP for a large class of elliptic equations in vector-valued L_p spaces. Particularly we will determine optimal spaces for boundary data and get maximal regularity for inhomogeneous equations. Then based on these results we shall treat some nonlinear problems. Our approach will be based on the semigroup theory, the interpolation theory of Banach spaces, fractional powers of positive operators, operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems and the Banach fixed point theorem.     

Interpolation properties of scales of Banach spaces

It is shown that any interpolation scales joining weight spaces L _p or similar spaces have many remarkable properties. Not only are such scales intrinsically interpolation scales, but an analog of the Arazy-Cwikel theorem describing interpolation spaces between the spaces from the scale is valid.     

Separable anisotropic differential operators in weighted abstract spaces and applications

In this paper operator-valued multiplier theorems in Banach-valued weighted Lp spaces are studied. Also weighted Sobolev-Lions type spaces are discussed when E₀, E are two Banach spaces and E₀ is continuously and densely embedded on E. Several conditions are found that ensure the continuity of the embedding operators that are optimally regular in these spaces in terms of interpolations of E₀. These results permit us to show the separability of the anisotropic differential operators in an E-valued weighted Lp space. By using these results the maximal regularity of infinite systems of quasi elliptic partial differential equations are established.     

A note on nice operators

In this note, we characterize nice operators in a class of Banach spaces, which includes spaces and L₁(μ), as those operators that preserve extreme points.     

Uniform Homeomorphisms of Unit Spheres and Property H of Lebesgue–Bochner Function Spaces

Assume that the unit spheres of Banach spaces X and Y are uniformly homeomorphic.Then we prove that all unit spheres of the Lebesgue–Bochner function spaces L_p(μ, X) and L_q(μ, Y)are mutually uniformly homeomorphic where 1 ≤ p, q ∞. As its application, we show that if a Banach space X has Property H introduced by Kasparov and Yu, then the space L_p(μ, X), 1 ≤ p ∞,also has Property H.     

Banach spaces in various positions

We formulate a general theory of positions for subspaces of a Banach space: we define equivalent and isomorphic positions, study the automorphy index a(Y,X) that measures how many non-equivalent positions Y admits in X, and obtain estimates of a(Y,X) for X a classical Banach space such as ?p,Lp,L₁,C(ωω) or C[0,1]. Then, we study different aspects of the automorphic space problem posed by Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal; namely, does there exist a separable automorphic space different from c₀ or ?₂? Recall that a Banach space X is said to be automorphic if every subspace Y admits only one position in X; i.e., a(Y,X)=1 for every subspace Y of X. We study the notion of extensible space and uniformly finitely extensible space (UFO), which are relevant since every automorphic space is extensible and every extensible space is UFO. We obtain a dichotomy theorem: Every UFO must be either an L_∞-space or a weak type 2 near-Hilbert space with the Maurey projection property. We show that a Banach space all of whose subspaces are UFO (called hereditarily UFO spaces) must be asymptotically Hilbertian; while a Banach space for which both X and X^∗ are UFO must be weak Hilbert. We then refine the dichotomy theorem for Banach spaces with some additional structure. In particular, we show that an UFO with unconditional basis must be either c₀ or a superreflexive weak type 2 space; that a hereditarily UFO Köthe function space must be Hilbert; and that a rearrangement invariant space UFO must be either L_∞ or a superreflexive type 2 Banach lattice.     

An analytic representation of the L 0-valued homomorphisms in the Orlicz-Kantorovich modules

We consider the Orlicz-Kantorovich modules L _M (?,m) associated with a complete Boolean algebra ?, an N-function M, and a measure m defined on ? and taking values in the algebra L ₀ of all measurable real functions. We obtain an analytic representation of the continuous L ₀-valued homomorphisms defined on such modules.     

Sharpness of the Calderón-Lozanovskii interpolation construction

We present a short proof of the sharpness of the Calderón-Lozanovskii interpolation construction in couples of weighted L _p spaces in the “lower triangle,” i.e., for operators from a couple { L _p0 (V ₀), L _p1 (V ₁)} to a couple {L _q0 (U ₀), L _q1 (U ₁)} with p ₀ ? q ₀ and p ₁ ? q ₁. This generalizes the well-known result due to Dmitriev and Semenov on the sharpness of the Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem in the “lower triangle” for L _p spaces on intervals.     

On graph measures in banach spaces and description of essential spectra of multidimensional transport equation

In this paper, we define new measures called respectively graph measure of noncompactness and graph measure of weak noncompactness. Moreover, we apply the obtained results to discuss the incidence of some perturbation results realized in [2] on the behavior of essential spectra of such closed densely defined linear operators on Banach spaces. These results are exploited to investigate the essential spectra of a multidimensional neutron transport operator on L₁ spaces.     

Interpolation of vector measures

Let (Ω, Σ) be a measurable space and m ₀: Σ → X ₀ and m ₁: Σ → X ₁ be positive vector measures with values in the Banach Köthe function spaces X ₀ and X ₁. If 0 < α < 1, we define a new vector measure [m ₀, m ₁] _α with values in the Calderón lattice interpolation space X ₀ ^1?ga X ₁ ^α and we analyze the space of integrable functions with respect to measure [m ₀, m ₁] _α in order to prove suitable extensions of the classical Stein-Weiss formulas that hold for the complex interpolation of L ^p -spaces. Since each p-convex order continuous Köthe function space with weak order unit can be represented as a space of p-integrable functions with respect to a vector measure, we provide in this way a technique to obtain representations of the corresponding complex interpolation spaces. As applications, we provide a Riesz-Thorin theorem for spaces of p-integrable functions with respect to vector measures and a formula for representing the interpolation of the injective tensor product of such spaces.     

ABSTRACT CAPACITY OF REGIONS AND COMPACT EMBEDDING WITH APPLICATIONS

The weighted Sobolev-Lions type spaces W pl,γ(Ω; E0, E) = W pl,γ(Ω; E) ∩ Lp,γ (Ω; E0) are studied, where E0, E are two Banach spaces and E0 is continuously and densely embedded on E. A new concept of capacity of region Ω∈ Rn in W pl,γ(; E0, E) is introduced. Several conditions in terms of capacity of region Ω and interpolations of E0 and E are found such that ensure the continuity and compactness of embedding operators. In particular, the most regular class of interpolation spaces Eα between E0 and E, depending of α and l, are found such that mixed differential operators Dα are bounded and compact from W pl,γ(Ω; E0, E) to Eα-valued Lp,γ spaces. In applications, the maximal regularity for differential-operator equations with parameters are studied.     

Coercive boundary value problems for regular degenerate differential-operator equations

This study focuses on nonlocal boundary value problems (BVP) for degenerate elliptic differential-operator equations (DOE), that are defined in Banach-valued function spaces, where boundary conditions contain a degenerate function and a principal part of the equation possess varying coefficients. Several conditions obtained, that guarantee the maximal L_p regularity and Fredholmness. These results are also applied to nonlocal BVP for regular degenerate partial differential equations on cylindrical domain to obtain the algebraic conditions that ensure the same properties.     

Multipliers ofA p ((0, ∞) with order convolution

The aim of this paper is to study the multipliers fromA _r (I) toA _p (I),r ≠p, whereI = (0, ∞) is the locally compact topological semigroup with multiplication max and usual topology andA _r (I) =f ∈L ₁(I): f ∈L _r (Î) with norm ¦¦¦f¦¦¦_r = ¦¦f¦¦₁ + ¦¦f¦¦_r.     

Banach spaces without minimal subspaces

We prove three new dichotomies for Banach spaces à la W.T. Gowers' dichotomies. The three dichotomies characterise respectively the spaces having no minimal subspaces, having no subsequentially minimal basic sequences, and having no subspaces crudely finitely representable in all of their subspaces. We subsequently use these results to make progress on Gowers' program of classifying Banach spaces by finding characteristic spaces present in every space. Also, the results are used to embed any partial order of size ℵ₁ into the subspaces of any space without a minimal subspace ordered by isomorphic embeddability.     

Some fixed point results on L-embedded Banach spaces

In this paper we prove that w-fixed point property and w^★-fixed point property are equivalent concepts for L-embedded Banach spaces which are duals of M-embedded spaces. Similar results will be obtained with respect to the normal structure. These equivalences will be applied to establish new fixed point results for different examples. We will also prove the existence of fixed points for both nonexpansive and asymptotically regular mappings defined on subsets of L-embedded Banach spaces which are sequentially compact for the abstract measure topology. We will check that our results do not hold in the case of the weak topology.     

On the K-divisibility constant for some special finite-dimensional Banach couples

We prove new estimates of the K-divisibility constants for some special Banach couples. In particular, we prove that the K-divisibility constant for a couple of the form (UV,U) where U and V are non-trivial Hilbert spaces equals . We also prove estimates for the K-divisibility constant of the two-dimensional version of the couple (L₂,L_∞), proving in particular that this couple is not exactly K-divisible. There are also several auxiliary results, including some estimates for relative Calderón constants for finite-dimensional couples.     

On L-Tychonoff spaces II

This paper is a sequel to the 1995 paper On L-Tychonoff spaces. The embedding theorem for L-topological spaces is shown to hold true for L an arbitrary complete lattice without imposing any order reversing involution (·)^′ on L. Some results on completely L-regular spaces and on L-Tychonoff spaces, which have previously been known to hold true for (L,^′) a frame, are exhibited as ones holding for (L,^′) a meet-continuous lattice. For such a lattice an insertion theorem for completely L-regular spaces is given. Some weak forms of separating families of maps are discussed. We also clarify the dependence between the sub-T₀ separation axiom of Liu and the L-T₀ separation axiom of Rodabaugh.
