Maximal function characterizations of Hardy spaces on RD-spaces and their applications

Let X be an RD-space, i.e., a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss, which has the reverse doubling property. Assume that X has a dimension n. For α∈ (0, ∞) denote by Hαp(X ), Hdp(X ), and H?,p(X ) the corresponding Hardy spaces on X defined by the nontangential maximal function, the dyadic maximal function and the grand maximal function, respectively. Using a new inhomogeneous Calder′on reproducing formula, it is shown that all these Hardy spaces coincide with Lp(X ) when p ∈ (1, ∞] a...     

Strong convergence rates for the estimation of a covariance operator for associated samples

Let X _n , n ≥ 1, be a strictly stationary associated sequence of random variables, with common continuous distribution function F. Using histogram type estimators we consider the estimation of the two-dimensional distribution function of (X ₁,X _k+1) as well as the estimation of the covariance function of the limit empirical process induced by the sequence X _n , n ≥ 1. Assuming a convenient decrease rate of the covariances Cov(X ₁,X _n+1), n ≥ 1, we derive uniform strong convergence rates for these estimators. The condition on the covariance structure of the variables is satisfied either if Cov(X ₁,X _n+1) decreases polynomially or if it decreases geometrically, but as we could expect, under the latter condition we are able to establish faster convergence rates. For the two-dimensional distribution function the rate of convergence derived under a geometrical decrease of the covariances is close to the optimal rate for independent samples.      

Exact laws for sums of ratios of order statistics from the Pareto distribution

Consider independent and identically distributed random variables {X _nk, 1 ≤ k ≤ m, n ≤ 1} from the Pareto distribution. We select two order statistics from each row, X _n(i) ≤ X _n(j), for 1 ≤ i < j ≤ = m. Then we test to see whether or not Laws of Large Numbers with nonzero limits exist for weighted sums of the random variables R _ij = X _n(j)/X _n(i).

Precise rates in the law of the logarithm for the moment convergence in Hilbert spaces

On weak positive supercyclicity

A bounded linear operator T on a separable complex Banach space X is called weakly supercyclic if there exists a vector x ∈ X such that the projective orbit {λT ⁿ x: n ∈ ℕ λ ∈ ℂ} is weakly dense in X. Among other results, it is proved that an operator T such that σ _p (T ^*) = 0, is weakly supercyclic if and only if T is positive weakly supercyclic, that is, for every supercyclic vector x ∈ X, only considering the positive projective orbit: {rT ⁿ x: n ∈ ℂ, r ∈ ℝ₊} we obtain a weakly dense subset in X. As a consequence it is established the existence of non-weakly supercyclic vectors (non-trivial) for positive operators defined on an infinite dimensional separable complex Banach space.

A note on standard borel and related spaces

The following is a fundamental construction in the theory of point processes: For a measurable space (X, ɛ) let X _◃ denote the set of all measures on (X, ɛ) taking only values in the set ℕ (and so each p ∈ X _◃ is a finite measure, since p(X) ∈ ℕ); put ɛ _◃ = σ(ɛ _◊), where ɛ _◊ is the set of all subsets of X _◃ having the form {p ∈ X _◃: p(E) = k} with E ∈ ɛ and k ∈ ℕ.

The bicompletion of an asymmetric normed linear space

A biBanach space is an asymmetric normed linear space (X,‖·‖) such that the normed linear space (X,‖·‖^s) is a Banach space, where ‖x‖^s= max {‖x‖,‖-x‖} for all x∈X. We prove that each asymmetric normed linear space (X,‖·‖) is isometrically isomorphic to a dense subspace of a biBanach space (Y,‖·‖_Y). Furthermore the space (Y,‖·‖_Y) is unique (up to isometric isomorphism). This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Hereditarily indecomposable Banach algebras of diagonal operators

We provide a characterization of the Banach spaces X with a Schauder basis (e _n ) _n∈ℕ which have the property that the dual space X* is naturally isomorphic to the space L _diag(X) of diagonal operators with respect to (e _n ) _n∈ℕ. We also construct a Hereditarily Indecomposable Banach space $ \mathfrak{X} $ \mathfrak{X} _D with a Schauder basis (e _n ) _n∈ℕ such that $ \mathfrak{X} $ \mathfrak{X} *_D is isometric to L _diag($ \mathfrak{X} $ \mathfrak{X} _D) with these Banach algebras being Hereditarily Indecomposable. Finally, we show that every T ∈ L _diag($ \mathfrak{X} $ \mathfrak{X} _D) is of the form T = λI + K, where K is a compact operator.     

Some properties and applications of weakly equicompact sets

Let X and Y be Banach spaces. A set (the space of all weakly compact operators from X into Y) is weakly equicompact if, for every bounded sequence (x _n) in X, there exists a subsequence (x _k(n)) so that (Tx_k(n)) is uniformly weakly convergent for T ∈ M. In this paper, the notion of weakly equicompact set is used to obtain characterizations of spaces X such that X ↩̸ ℓ₁, of spaces X such that B _X* is weak* sequentially compact and also to obtain several results concerning to the weak operator and the strong operator topologies. As another application of weak equicompactness, we conclude a characterization of relatively compact sets in when this space is endowed with the topology of uniform convergence on the class of all weakly null sequences. Finally, we show that similar arguments can be applied to the study of uniformly completely continuous sets. Received: 5 July 2006     

On Cramer Approximations under Violation of Cramer's Condition

Let X ₁, X ₂,... be independent identically distributed random variables with distribution function F, S ₀ = 0, S _n = X ₁ + ⋯ + X _n , and Sˉ _n = max_1⩽k⩽n S _k . We obtain large-deviation theorems for S _n and Sˉ _n under the condition 1 − F(x) = P{X ₁ ⩾ x} = e^−l(x), l(x) = x ^α L(x), α ∈ (0, 1), where L(x) is a slowly varying function as x → ∞. __________ Translated from Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 45, No. 4, pp. 447–456, October–December, 2005.     

On the existence of invariant probability measures

Let (X,A) be a measureable space andT:X →X a measurable mapping. Consider a family ℳ of probability measures onA which satisfies certain closure conditions. IfA ₀⊂A is a convergence class for ℳ such that, for everyA ∈A ₀, the sequence ((1/n) Σ _i ^=0/n−1 1 _A ∘T ⁱ) converges in distribution (with respect to some probability measurev ∈ ℳ), then there exists aT-invariant element in ℳ. In particular, for the special case of a topological spaceX and a continuous mappingT, sufficient conditions for the existence ofT-invariant Borel probability measures with additional regularity properties are obtained.     

A topological position of the set of continuous maps in the set of upper semicontinuous maps

Let (X, ρ) be a metric space and ↓USCC(X) and ↓CC(X) be the families of the regions below all upper semi-continuous compact-supported maps and below all continuous compact-supported maps from X to I = [0, 1], respectively. With the Hausdorff-metric, they are topological spaces. In this paper, we prove that, if X is an infinite compact metric space with a dense set of isolated points, then (↓USCC(X), ↓CC(X)) ≈ (Q, c0 ∪ (Q \ Σ)), i.e., there is a homeomorphism h :↓USCC(X) → Q such that h(↓CC(X)) = c0 ∪ (Q \ Σ...

Some remarks on the strong law of large numbers for Banach-space valued weakly integrable random variables

The purpose of this paper is to show the equivalence of almost sure convergence of S_n/n, n ≥ 1 and lim sup_n→∞S_n/n < ∞ a.e., where S_n = X₁ + X₂ + … + X_n and X₁, X₂,… are independent identically distributed random elements in a separable Banach space with EX₁ < ∞.

Limsup results and LIL for partial sum processes of a Gaussian random field

Let {ξ _j ; j ∈ ℤ₊ ^d be a centered stationary Gaussian random field, where ℤ₊ ^d is the d-dimensional lattice of all points in d-dimensional Euclidean space ℝ^d, having nonnegative integer coordinates. For each j = (j ₁ , ..., jd) in ℤ₊ ^d , we denote |j| = j ₁ ... j _d and for m, n ∈ ℤ₊ ^d , define S(m, n] = Σ _m<j≤n ζ _j , σ²(|n−m|) = ES ² (m, n], S _n = S(0, n] and S ₀ = 0. Assume that σ(|n|) can be extended to a continuous function σ(t) of t > 0, which is nondecreasing and regularly varying with exponent α at b ≥ 0 for some 0 < α < 1. Under some additional conditions, we study limsup results for increments of partial sum processes and prove as well the law of the iterated logarithm for such partial sum processes.

Limit Theorems for Randomly Selected Ratios of Order Statistics from a Pareto Distribution

Abstract

Consider independent and identically distributed random variables {X _nk , 1 ≤ k ≤ m, n ≥ 1} from the Pareto distribution. We randomly select a pair of order statistics from each row, X _n(i) and X _n(j), where 1 ≤ i < j ≤ m. Then we test to see whether or not Strong and Weak Laws of Large Numbers with nonzero limits for weighted sums of the random variables X _n(j)/X _n(i) exist where we place a prior distribution on the selection of each of these possible pairs of order statistics.     

Uniformity over primes of tamely ramified splittings

We fix a prime p and let f(X) vary over all monic integer polynomials of fixed degree n. Given any possible shape of a tamely ramified splitting of p in an extension of degree n, we prove that there exists a rational function φ(X)∈ℚ(X) such that the density of the monic integer polynomials f(X) for which the splitting of p has the given shape in ℚ[X]/f(X) is φ(p) (here reducible polynomials can be neglected). As a corollary, we prove that, for p≥n, the density of irreducible monic polynomials of degree n in ℤ _p [X] is the value at p of a rational function φ _n (X)∈ℚ(X). All rational functions involved are effectively computable. Received: 15 September 1998 / Revised version: 21 October 1999     

On derivations of algebras with involution

Summary Let X be a complex Hilbert space, let L(X) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X, and let A(X) ⊂ L(X) be a standard operator algebra, which is closed under the adjoint operation. Suppose there exists a linear mapping D: A(X) → L(X) satisfying the relation D(AA*A) = D(A) A*A + AD(A*)A + AA*D(A), for all A ∈ A(X). In this case D is of the form D(A) = AB-BA, for all A∈ A(X) and some B ∈ L(X), which means that D is a derivation. We apply this result to semisimple H*-algebras.     

Criteria for the single-valued metric generalized inverses of multi-valued linear operators in banach spaces

Let X, Y be Banach spaces and M be a linear subspace in X × Y = {{x, y}|x ∈ X, y ∈ Y }. We may view M as a multi-valued linear operator from X to Y by taking M (x) = {y|{x, y} ∈ M }. In this paper, we give several criteria for a single-valued operator from Y to X to be the metric generalized inverse of the multi-valued linear operator M . The principal tool in this paper is also the generalized orthogonal decomposition theorem in Banach spaces.
