Operator-valued H ∞-calculus in Inter- and Extrapolation Spaces

We generalize a Hilbert space result by Auscher, McIntosh and Nahmod to arbitrary Banach spaces X and to not densely defined injective sectorial operators A. A convenient tool proves to be a certain universal extrapolation space associated with A. We characterize the real interpolation space ( X,D( A^a ) ?R( A^a ) )_q,p{\left( {X,\mathcal{D}{\left( {A^{\alpha } } \right)} \cap \mathcal{R}{\left( {A^{\alpha } } \right)}} \right)}_{{\theta ,p}} as

Tilted Edgeworth expansions for asymptotically normal vectors

We obtain the Edgeworth expansion for P(n^1/2([^(q)]-q) < x){P(n^{1/2}(\hat{\theta}-\theta) < x)} and its derivatives, and the tilted Edgeworth (or saddlepoint or small sample) expansion for P([^(q)] < x){P(\hat{\theta} < x)} and its derivatives where [^(q)]{\hat{\theta}} is any vector estimate having the standard cumulant expansions in powers of n^-1{n^{-1}} .     

The Problem of the Pointwise Fourier Inversion for Piecewise Smooth Functions of Several Variables

We study the pointwise convergence problem for the inverse Fourier transform of piecewise smooth functions, i.e., whether S_rD f (\bx) ? f (\bx)S_{\rho D} f (\bx) \to f (\bx) as r? ￥\rho \to \infty . r? ￥\rho \to \infty . Here for \bx,\bxi ? \Rn\bx,\bxi \in \Rn S_rDf(\bmx)=\dsf1(2p)^n/2\intli_rD [^(f)](\bxi) e^{\dst iá\bmx,\bxi?} d\bxi .

The Łojasiewicz exponent of an analytic function at an isolated zero

Let f be a real analytic function defined in a neighborhood of 0 ? \Bbb Rⁿ 0 \in {\Bbb R}^n such that f^-1(0)={0} f^{-1}(0)=\{0\} . We describe the smallest possible exponents !, #, / for which we have the following estimates: |f(x)| 3 c|x|^a |f(x)|\geq c|x|^{\alpha} , |grad f(x)| 3 c|x|^b |{\rm grad}\,f(x)|\geq c|x|^{\beta} , |grad f(x)| 3 c|f(x)|^q |{\rm grad}\,f(x)|\geq c|f(x)|^{\theta} for x near zero with c > 0 c > 0 . We prove that a = b+1 \alpha=\beta+1, q = b/a\theta=\beta/\alpha . Moreover b = N+a/b \beta=N+a/b where $ 0 h a < b h N^{n-1} $ 0 h a < b h N^{n-1} . If f is a polynomial then |f(x)| 3 c|x|^(degf-1)n+1 |f(x)|\geq c|x|^{(\deg f-1)^n+1} in a small neighborhood of zero.     

On certain functional equations related to Jordan triple (q, f){(\theta, \phi)}-derivations on semiprime rings

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following result. Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring with symmetric Martindale ring of quotients Q _s and let q{\theta} and f{\phi} be automorphisms of R. Suppose T:R? R{T:R\rightarrow R} is an additive mapping satisfying the relation T(xyx)=T(x)q(y)q(x)-f(x)T(y)q(x)+f(x)f(y)T(x){T(xyx)=T(x)\theta (y)\theta (x)-\phi (x)T(y)\theta (x)+\phi (x)\phi (y)T(x)}, for all pairs x,y ? R{x,y\in R}. In this case T is of the form 2T(x)=qq(x)+f(x)q{2T(x)=q\theta (x)+\phi (x)q}, for all x ? R{x\in R} and some fixed element q ? Q_s{q\in Q_{s}}.     

From Chaos to Global Convergence

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate dynamical systems F : \mathbbR² ? \mathbbR²{F : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2} of the form F(x, y) = (f(x, y), x). We assume that f : \mathbbR² ? \mathbbR{f : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}} is continuous and satisfies a condition that holds when f is non decreasing with respect to the second variable. We show that for every initial condition x₀ = (x ₀, y ₀), such that the orbit

Boundedness of maximal,potential type,and singular integral operators in the generalized variable exponent Morrey type spaces

We consider generalized Morrey type spaces M^{p( ·),q( ·),w( ·)}( W) {\mathcal{M}^{p\left( \cdot \right),\theta \left( \cdot \right),\omega \left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) with variable exponents p(x), θ(r) and a general function ω(x, r) defining a Morrey type norm. In the case of bounded sets W ì \mathbbRⁿ \Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^n} , we prove the boundedness of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator and Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators with standard kernel. We prove a Sobolev–Adams type embedding theorem M^{p( ·),q₁( ·),w₁( ·)}( W) ? M^{q( ·),q₂( ·),w₂( ·)}( W) {\mathcal{M}^{p\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_1}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_1}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) \to {\mathcal{M}^{q\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_2}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_2}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) for the potential type operator I ^α(·) of variable order. In all the cases, we do not impose any monotonicity type conditions on ω(x, r) with respect to r. Bibliography: 40 titles.     

Micro-Local Analysis with Fourier Lebesgue Spaces. Part?I

Let ω,ω ₀ be appropriate weight functions and q∈[1,∞]. We introduce the wave-front set, WF_FL^q(w)(f)\mathrm{WF}_{\mathcal{F}L^{q}_{(\omega)}}(f) of f ? S￠f\in \mathcal{S}' with respect to weighted Fourier Lebesgue space FL^q_(w)\mathcal{F}L^{q}_{(\omega )}. We prove that usual mapping properties for pseudo-differential operators Op (a) with symbols a in S^(w₀)_r,0S^{(\omega _{0})}_{\rho ,0} hold for such wave-front sets. Especially we prove that

On Lipschitz selections of affine-set valued mappings

We prove a Helly-type theorem for the family of all k-dimensional affine subsets of a Hilbert space H. The result is formulated in terms of Lipschitz selections of set-valued mappings from a metric space (M,r) ({\cal M},\rho) into this family.¶Let F be such a mapping satisfying the following condition: for every subset M￠ ì M {\cal M'} \subset {\cal M} consisting of at most 2^k+1 points, the restriction F|_M￠ F|_{\cal M'} of F to M￠ {\cal M'} has a selection f_M￠ (i.e. f_M￠(x) ? F(x) for all x  ? M￠) f_{\cal M'}\,({\rm i.e.}\,f_{\cal M'}(x) \in F(x)\,{\rm for\,all}\,x\,\in {\cal M'}) satisfying the Lipschitz condition ||f_M￠(x) - f_M￠(y)||  ￡ r(x,y ), x,y ? M￠ \parallel f_{\cal M'}(x) - f_{\cal M'}(y)\parallel\,\le \rho(x,y ),\,x,y \in {\cal M'} . Then F has a Lipschitz selection f : M ? H f : {\cal M} \to H such that ||f(x) - f(y) ||  ￡ gr(x,y ), x,y ? M \parallel f(x) - f(y) \parallel\,\le \gamma \rho (x,y ),\,x,y \in {\cal M} where g = g(k) \gamma = \gamma(k) is a constant depending only on k. (The upper bound of the number of points in M￠ {\cal M'} , 2^k+1, is sharp.)¶The proof is based on a geometrical construction which allows us to reduce the problem to an extension property of Lipschitz mappings defined on subsets of metric trees.     

On Approximate Spectral Factorization of Matrix Functions

It is proved that if positive definite matrix functions (i.e. matrix spectral densities) S _n , n=1,2,… , are convergent in the L ₁-norm, ||S_n-S||_L1? 0\|S_{n}-S\|_{L_{1}}\to 0, and ò₀^2plogdetS_n(e^iq) dq?ò₀^2plogdetS(e^iq) dq\int_{0}^{2\pi}\log \mathop{\mathrm{det}}S_{n}(e^{i\theta})\,d\theta\to\int_{0}^{2\pi}\log \mathop{\mathrm{det}}S(e^{i\theta})\,d\theta, then the corresponding (canonical) spectral factors are convergent in L ₂, ||S⁺_n-S⁺||_L2? 0\|S^{+}_{n}-S^{+}\|_{L_{2}}\to 0. The formulated logarithmic condition is easily seen to be necessary for the latter convergence to take place.     

The stability of the elliptic equilibrium of planar quasi-periodic Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the planar Hamiltonian system  = J (A(θ)x + ▽f(x, θ)), θ = ω, x ∈ R2 , θ∈ Td , where f is real analytic in x and θ, A(θ) is a 2 × 2 real analytic symmetric matrix, J = (1-1 ) and ω is a Diophantine vector. Under the assumption that the unperturbed system  = JA(θ)x, θ = ω is reducible and stable, we obtain a series of criteria for the stability and instability of the equilibrium of the perturbed system.     

The Shuddering Pendulum

This paper treats the rich mathematical structure of the (dimensionless) equation of motion governing the behavior of an elastically restrained simple pendulum subject to a downward force of magnitude f(t) applied to its bob with $\dot{f}(t)>0$\dot{f}(t)>0 for all t>0 and f(t)→∞ as t→∞:

Linear independence of time-frequency shifts under a generalized Schrödinger representation

Let r_\mathbbR \rho_{\mathbb{R}} be the classical Schrödinger representation of the Heisenberg group and let L \Lambda be a finite subset of \mathbbR ×\mathbbR \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} . The question of when the set of functions {t ? e^{2 pi y t} f(t + x) = (r_\mathbbR(x, y, 1) f)(t) : (x, y) ? L} \{t \mapsto e^{2 \pi i y t} f(t + x) = (\rho_{\mathbb{R}}(x, y, 1) f)(t) : (x, y) \in \Lambda\} is linearly independent for all f ? L²(\mathbbR), f 1 0 f \in L^2(\mathbb{R}), f \neq 0 , arises from Gabor analysis. We investigate an analogous problem for locally compact abelian groups G. For a finite subset L \Lambda of G ×[^(G)] G \times \widehat{G} and r_G \rho_G the Schrödinger representation of the Heisenberg group associated with G, we give a necessary and in many situations also sufficient condition for the set {r_G (x, w, 1)f : (x, w) ? L} \{\rho_G (x, w, 1)f : (x, w) \in \Lambda\} to be linearly independent for all f ? L²(G), f 1 0 f \in L^2(G), f \neq 0 .     

On wave equations with supercritical nonlinearities

We prove that the solution operators e_t (f, y){\cal e}_t (\phi , \psi ) for the nonlinear wave equations with supercritical nonlinearities are not Lipschitz mappings from a subset of the finite-energy space ([(H)\dot]¹ ?L_r+1) ×L₂(\dot {H}^1 \cap L_{\rho +1}) \times L_2 to [(H)\dot]^s_q￠\dot {H}^s_{q'} for t 1 0t\neq 0, and 0 ￡ s ￡ 1,0\leq s\leq 1, (n+1)/(1/2-1/q￠) = 1(n+1)/(1/2-1/q')= 1. This is in contrast to the subcritical case, where the corresponding operators are Lipschitz mappings ([3], [6]). Here e_t(f, y)=u(·, t){\cal e}_t(\phi , \psi )=u(\cdot , t), where u is a solution of {

Arithmetic mean of differences of Dedekind sums

Recently, Girstmair and Schoissengeier studied the asymptotic behavior of the arithmetic mean of Dedekind sums \frac1j(N) ? _{0 ￡ m < Ngcd(m,N)=1} |S(m,N)|\frac{1}{\varphi(N)} \sum_{\mathop{\mathop{ 0 \le m< N}}\limits_{\gcd(m,N)=1}} \vert S(m,N)\vert , as N → ∞. In this paper we consider the arithmetic mean of weighted differences of Dedekind sums in the form A_h(Q)=\frac1?_{\fracaq ? FQ}h(\fracaq) ×?_{\fracaq ? FQ}h(\fracaq) |s(a^￠,q^￠)-s(a,q)|A_{h}(Q)=\frac{1}{\sum_{\frac{a}{q} \in {\cal F}_{Q}}h\left(\frac{a}{q}\right)} \times \sum_{\frac{a}{q} \in {\cal F}_{\!Q}}h\left(\frac{a}{q}\right) \vert s(a^{\prime},q^{\prime})-s(a,q)\vert , where h:[0,1] ? \Bbb Ch:[0,1] \rightarrow {\Bbb C} is a continuous function with ò₀¹ h(t)  d t 1 0\int_0^1 h(t) \, {\rm d} t \ne 0 , \fracaq{\frac{a}{q}} runs over F_Q{\cal F}_{\!Q} , the set of Farey fractions of order Q in the unit interval [0,1] and \fracaq < \fraca^￠q^￠{\frac{a}{q}}<\frac{a^{\prime}}{q^{\prime}} are consecutive elements of F_Q{\cal F}_{\!Q} . We show that the limit lim _Q→∞ A _h (Q) exists and is independent of h.     

On convex optimization without convex representation

We consider the convex optimization problem P:min_x {f(x) : x ? K}{{\rm {\bf P}}:{\rm min}_{\rm {\bf x}} \{f({\rm {\bf x}})\,:\,{\rm {\bf x}}\in{\rm {\bf K}}\}} where f is convex continuously differentiable, and K ì \mathbb Rⁿ{{\rm {\bf K}}\subset{\mathbb R}^n} is a compact convex set with representation {x ? \mathbb Rⁿ : g_j(x) 3 0, j = 1,?,m}{\{{\rm {\bf x}}\in{\mathbb R}^n\,:\,g_j({\rm {\bf x}})\geq0, j = 1,\ldots,m\}} for some continuously differentiable functions (g _j ). We discuss the case where the g _j ’s are not all concave (in contrast with convex programming where they all are). In particular, even if the g _j are not concave, we consider the log-barrier function f_m{\phi_\mu} with parameter μ, associated with P, usually defined for concave functions (g _j ). We then show that any limit point of any sequence (x_m) ì K{({\rm {\bf x}}_\mu)\subset{\rm {\bf K}}} of stationary points of f_m, m? 0{\phi_\mu, \mu \to 0} , is a Karush–Kuhn–Tucker point of problem P and a global minimizer of f on K.

We prove that if N 1 2m{N \ne 2m} and ò₀¹ s^-1 (meas\nolimits {x ?

When N = 2m, the same property holds if ${\int_0^1 s^{-1} \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) \ln \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) {\rm d}s > - \infty}${\int_0^1 s^{-1} \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) \ln \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) {\rm d}s > - \infty}.     

A convexity theorem for multiplicative functions

We generalize a well known convexity property of the multiplicative potential function. We prove that, given any convex function g : \mathbbR^m ? [0, ￥]{g : \mathbb{R}^m \rightarrow [{0}, {\infty}]}, the function ${({\rm \bf x},{\rm \bf y})\mapsto g({\rm \bf x})^{1+\alpha}{\bf y}^{-{\bf \beta}}, {\bf y}>{\bf 0}}${({\rm \bf x},{\rm \bf y})\mapsto g({\rm \bf x})^{1+\alpha}{\bf y}^{-{\bf \beta}}, {\bf y}>{\bf 0}}, is convex if β ≥ 0 and α ≥ β ₁ + ··· + β _n . We also provide further generalization to functions of the form (x,y₁, . . . , y_n)? g(x)^1+af₁(y₁)^-b₁ ···f_n(y_n)^-b_n{({\rm \bf x},{\rm \bf y}_1, . . . , {y_n})\mapsto g({\rm \bf x})^{1+\alpha}f_1({\rm \bf y}_1)^{-\beta_1} \cdot \cdot \cdot f_n({\rm \bf y}_n)^{-\beta_n} } with the f _k concave, positively homogeneous and nonnegative on their domains.
