Sobolev Spaces with Respect to Measures in Curves and Zeros of Sobolev Orthogonal Polynomials

In this paper we obtain some practical criteria to bound the multiplication operator in Sobolev spaces with respect to measures in curves. As a consequence of these results, we characterize the weighted Sobolev spaces with bounded multiplication operator, for a large class of weights. To have bounded multiplication operator has important consequences in Approximation Theory: it implies the uniform bound of the zeros of the corresponding Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, and this fact allows to obtain the asymptotic behavior of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials. We also obtain some non-trivial results about these Sobolev spaces with respect to measures; in particular, we prove a main result in the theory: they are Banach spaces. J.M.

Generalized weighted Sobolev spaces and applications to Sobolev orthogonal polynomials II

We present a definition of general Sobolev spaces with respect to arbitrary measures, Wh,p (Ω,μ) for 1 ≤p≤∞. In [RARP] we proved that these spaces are complete under very light conditions. Now we prove that if we consider certain general types of measures, then Cc∞ (R) is dense in thee spaces. As an application to Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, we study the boundedness of the multiplication operator. This gives an estimation of the zeroes of Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.     

The finite Hilbert transform and weighted Sobolev spaces

The boundedness of the finite Hilbert transform operator on certain weighted L_p spaces is well known. We extend this result to give the boundedness of that operator on certain weighted Sobolev spaces. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Polynomials,Higher Order Sobolev Extension Theorems and Interpolation Inequalities on Weighted Folland-Stein Spaces on Stratified Groups

This paper consists of three main parts. One of them is to develop local and global Sobolev interpolation inequalities of any higher order for the nonisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified nilpotent Lie groups. Despite the extensive research after Jerison's work [3] on Poincaré-type inequalities for Hörmander's vector fields over the years, our results given here even in the nonweighted case appear to be new. Such interpolation inequalities have crucial applications to subelliptic or parabolic PDE's involving vector fields. The main tools to prove such inqualities are approximating the Sobolev functions by polynomials associated with the left invariant vector fields on ?. Some very usefull properties for polynomials associated with the functions are given here and they appear to have independent interests in their own rights. Finding the existence of such polynomials is the second main part of this paper. Main results of these two parts have been announced in the author's paper in Mathematical Research Letters [38].The third main part of this paper contains extension theorems on anisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified groups and their applications to proving Sobolev interpolation inequalities on (?,δ) domains. Some results of weighted Sobolev spaces are also given here. We construct a linear extension operator which is bounded on different Sobolev spaces simultaneously. In particular, we are able to construct a bounded linear extension operator such that the derivatives of the extended function can be controlled by the same order of derivatives of the given Sobolev functions. Theorems are stated and proved for weighted anisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified groups.     

Multiplication operators on sobolev disk algebra

In this paper,we study the algebra consisting of analytic functions in the Sobolev space W~(2,2) (D) (D is the unit disk),called the Sobolev disk algebra,explore the properties of the multiplication operators M_f on it and give the characterization of the corn- mutant algebra A′(M_f) of M_f.We show that A′(M_f) is commutative if and only if M_f~* is a Cowen-Douglas operator of index 1.     

Approximation by polynomials and smooth functions in Sobolev spaces with respect to measures

The density of polynomials is straightforward to prove in Sobolev spaces W^k,p((a,b)), but there exist only partial results in weighted Sobolev spaces; here we improve some of these theorems. The situation is more complicated in infinite intervals, even for weighted L^p spaces; besides, in the present paper we have proved some other results for weighted Sobolev spaces in infinite intervals.     

The Dirichlet problem for non‐divergence parabolic equations with discontinuous in time coefficients

We consider the Dirichlet problem for non‐divergence parabolic equation with discontinuous in t coefficients in a half space. The main result is weighted coercive estimates of solutions in anisotropic Sobolev spaces. We give an application of this result to linear and quasi‐linear parabolic equations in a bounded domain. In particular, if the boundary is of class C^1,δ , δ ∈ [0, 1], then we present a coercive estimate of solutions in weighted anisotropic Sobolev spaces, where the weight is a power of the distance to the boundary (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Pointwise behaviour of Orlicz–Sobolev functions

We study the regularity of Orlicz–Sobolev functions on metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure. We show that each Orlicz–Sobolev function is quasicontinuous and has Lebesgue points outside a set of capacity zero and that the discrete maximal operator is bounded in the Orlicz–Sobolev space. We also show that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded in the Orlicz space $L^{\Psi}(X)We study the regularity of Orlicz–Sobolev functions on metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure. We show that each Orlicz–Sobolev function is quasicontinuous and has Lebesgue points outside a set of capacity zero and that the discrete maximal operator is bounded in the Orlicz–Sobolev space. We also show that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded in the Orlicz space , then each Orlicz–Sobolev function can be approximated by a H?lder continuous function both in the Lusin sense and in norm.

On Romanovski–Jacobi polynomials and their related approximation results

The aim of this article is to present the essential properties of a finite class of orthogonal polynomials related to the probability density function of the F -distribution over the positive real line. We introduce some basic properties of the Romanovski–Jacobi polynomials, the Romanovski–Jacobi–Gauss type quadrature formulae and the associated interpolation, discrete transforms, spectral differentiation and integration techniques in the physical and frequency spaces, and basic approximation results for the weighted projection operator in the nonuniformly weighted Sobolev space. We discuss the relationship between such kinds of finite orthogonal polynomials and other classes of infinite orthogonal polynomials. Moreover, we derive spectral Galerkin schemes based on a Romanovski–Jacobi expansion in space and time to solve the Cauchy problem for a scalar linear hyperbolic equation in one and two space dimensions posed in the positive real line. Two numerical examples demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the schemes.     

Algebraic properties of dual Toeplitz operators on the orthogonal complement of the Dirichlet space

In this paper we investigate some algebra properties of dual Toeplitz operators on the orthogonal complement of the Dirichlet space in the Sobolev space. We completely characterize commuting dual Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols, and show that a dual Toeplitz operator commutes with a nonconstant analytic dual Toeplitz operator if and only if its symbol is analytic. We also obtain the sufficient and necessary conditions on the harmonic symbols for SφSφψ= Sφψ.     

Weighted Composition Operators on H 2 and Applications

Operators on function spaces acting by composition to the right with a fixed selfmap φ of some set are called composition operators of symbol φ. A weighted composition operator is an operator equal to a composition operator followed by a multiplication operator. We summarize the basic properties of bounded and compact weighted composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space on the open unit disk and use them to study composition operators on Hardy–Smirnov spaces.

Sobolev spaces on bounded symmetric domains

We obtain a formula for the Sobolev inner product in standard weighted Bergman spaces of holomorphic functions on a bounded symmetric domain in terms of the Peter–Weyl components in the Hua–Schmidt decomposition, and use it to clarify the relationship between the analytic continuation of these standard weighted Bergman spaces and the Sobolev spaces on bounded symmetric domains.     

On Burenkov's extension operator preserving Sobolev–Morrey spaces on Lipschitz domains

We prove that Burenkov's extension operator preserves Sobolev spaces built on general Morrey spaces, including classical Morrey spaces. The analysis concerns bounded and unbounded open sets with Lipschitz boundaries in the n‐dimensional Euclidean space.     

On Stein's extension operator preserving Sobolev–Morrey spaces

We prove that Stein's extension operator preserves Sobolev–Morrey spaces, that is spaces of functions with weak derivatives in Morrey spaces. The analysis concerns classical and generalized Morrey spaces on bounded and unbounded domains with Lipschitz boundaries in the n‐dimensional Euclidean space.     

Zero location and asymptotic behavior for extremal polynomials with non-diagonal Sobolev norms

In this paper we are going to study the zero location and asymptotic behavior of extremal polynomials with respect to a non-diagonal Sobolev norm in the worst case, i.e., when the quadratic form is allowed to degenerate. The orthogonal polynomials with respect to this Sobolev norm are a particular case of those extremal polynomials. The multiplication operator by the independent variable is the main tool in order to obtain our results.     

The Module Structure Theorem for Sobolev Spaces on Open Manifolds

We prove a general embedding theorem for Sobolev spaces on open manifolds of bounded geometry and infer from this the module structure theorem. Thereafter we apply this to weighted Sobolev spaces.     

Mixed exterior Laplace's problem

In [C. Amrouche, V. Girault, J. Giroire, Dirichlet and Neumann exterior problems for the n-dimensional Laplace operator. An approach in weighted Sobolev spaces, J. Math. Pures Appl. 76 (1997) 55-81], authors study Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplace operator in exterior domains of Rn. This paper extends this study to the resolution of a mixed exterior Laplace's problem. Here, we give existence, unicity and regularity results in Lp's theory with 1<p<∞, in weighted Sobolev spaces.     

Weighted Composition Operators Between Weighted Bloch Type Spaces and Weighted Banach Spaces of Holomorphic Functions

Let φ: 𝔻 → 𝔻 and ψ: 𝔻 → ? be analytic maps. They induce a weighted composition operator ψ C _φ acting between weighted Bloch type spaces and weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions. Under some assumptions on the weights, we give a necessary as well as a sufficient condition when such an operator is bounded resp. compact.
