Weyl numbers and eigenvalues of abstract summing operators

We estimate Weyl numbers and eigenvalues of operators via studying their abstract summing norms. In particular we prove estimates of these summing norms for abstract interpolation Lorentz spaces. For this we combine factorization theorems with estimates of concavity constants. Finally we apply our general eigenvalue results to integral operators with kernels of weakly singular type. We obtain asymptotically optimal estimates which extend the well-known classical results.     

Use of abstract Hardy spaces, real interpolation and applications to bilinear operators

This paper can be considered as the sequel of Bernicot and Zhao (J Func Anal 255:1761–1796, 2008), where the authors have proposed an abstract construction of Hardy spaces H ¹. They shew an interpolation result for these Hardy spaces with the Lebesgue spaces. Here we describe a more precise result using the real interpolation theory and we clarify the use of Hardy spaces. Then with the help of the bilinear interpolation theory, we then give applications to study bilinear operators on Lebesgue spaces. These ideas permit us to study singular operators with singularities similar to those of bilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators in a far more abstract framework as in the Euclidean case.     

Entropy numbers, s-numbers,and eigenvalue problems

We establish inequalities between entropy numbers and approximation numbers for operators acting between Banach spaces. Furthermore we derive inequalities between eigenvalues and entropy numbers for operators acting on a Banach space. The results are compared with the classical inequalities of Bernstein and Jackson.     

Spectral boundary value problems in Lipschitz domains for strongly elliptic systems in Banach spaces H p σ and B p σ

In a bounded Lipschitz domain, we consider a strongly elliptic second-order equation with spectral parameter without assuming that the principal part is Hermitian. For the Dirichlet and Neumann problems in a weak setting, we prove the optimal resolvent estimates in the spaces of Bessel potentials and the Besov spaces. We do not use surface potentials. In these spaces, we derive a representation of the resolvent as a ratio of entire analytic functions with sharp estimates of their growth and prove theorems on the completeness of the root functions and on the summability of Fourier series with respect to them by the Abel-Lidskii method. Preliminarily, such questions for abstract operators in Banach spaces are discussed. For the Steklov problem with spectral parameter in the boundary condition, we obtain similar results. We indicate applications of the resolvent estimates to parabolic problems in a Lipschitz cylinder. We also indicate generalizations to systems of equations. __________ Translated from Funktsional’nyi Analiz i Ego Prilozheniya, Vol. 42, No. 4, pp. 2–23, 2008 Original Russian Text Copyright ? by M.

Estimates for the entropy numbers of embedding operators of function spaces on sets with tree-like structure: Some limiting cases

In this paper we obtain order estimates for the entropy numbers of embedding operators of weighted Sobolev spaces into weighted Lebesgue spaces, as well as two-weighted summation operators on trees. Here, the parameters satisfy some critical conditions.

Entropy Numbers of Trudinger-Strichartz Embeddings of Radial Besov Spaces and Applications

The asymptotic behaviour of entropy numbers of Trudinger–Strichartzembeddings of radial Besov spaces on Rⁿ into exponential Orliczspaces is calculated. Estimates of the entropy numbers as wellas estimates of entropy numbers of Sobolev embeddings of radialBesov spaces are applied to spectral theory of certain pseudo-differentialoperators.     

Wavelet Frames,Sobolev Embeddings and Negative Spectrum of Schrödinger Operators on Manifolds with Bounded Geometry

We consider weighted function spaces of Sobolev-Besov type and Schrödinger type operators on noncompact Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry. First we give characterization of the spaces in terms of wavelet frames. Then we describe the necessary and sufficient conditions for the compactness of Sobolev embeddings between the spaces. An asymptotic behavior of the corresponding entropy numbers is calculated. At the end we use the asymptotic behavior to estimate the number of negative eigenvalues of the Schrödinger type operators.     

Commutators, Spectral Trace Identities, and Universal Estimates for Eigenvalues

Using simple commutator relations, we obtain several trace identities involving eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an abstract self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. Applications involve abstract universal estimates for the eigenvalue gaps. As particular examples, we present simple proofs of the classical universal estimates for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, as well as of some known and new results for other differential operators and systems. We also suggest an extension of the methods to the case of non-self-adjoint operators.     

On the Galerkin-Method in Intermediate Spaces for the Initial Boundary-Value Problem of the Navier-Stokes Equations in two Dimensions

We consider a GALERKIN scheme for the two-dimensional initial boundary-value problem (P) of the NAVIER-STOKES equations, derive a priori-estimates for the approximations in interpolation spaces between “standard spaces” as occuring in the theory of weak solutions and obtain well-posedness of (P) with respect to the interpolation spaces. As a by-product, we obtain various estimates for the solutions in a relatively simple way. The main tool is interpolation of non-linear operators.     

Entropy and approximation numbers of limiting embeddings; an approach via Hardy inequalities and quadratic forms

This paper deals with entropy numbers and approximation numbers for compact embeddings of weighted Sobolev spaces into Lebesgue spaces in limiting situations. This work is based on related Hardy inequalities and the spectral theory of some degenerate elliptic operators.     

Fold completeness of a system of root vectors of a system of unbounded polynomial operator pencils in Banach spaces. II. Application

This paper is a continuation of the author’s paper in 2009,where the abstract theory of fold completeness in Banach spaces has been presented.Using obtained there abstract results,we consider now very general boundary value problems for ODEs and PDEs which polynomially depend on the spectral parameter in both the equation and the boundary conditions.Moreover,equations and boundary conditions may contain abstract operators as well.So,we deal,generally,with integro-differential equations,functional-differential equations,nonlocal boundary conditions,multipoint boundary conditions,integro-differential boundary conditions.We prove n-fold completeness of a system of root functions of considered problems in the corresponding direct sum of Sobolev spaces in the Banach Lq-framework,in contrast to previously known results in the Hilbert L 2-framework.Some concrete mechanical problems are also presented.     

Cwikel and Quasi-Szegö Type Estimates for Random Operators

We consider Schrödinger operators with nonergodic random potentials. Specifically, we are interested in eigenvalue estimates and estimates of the entropy for the absolutely continuous part of the spectral measure. We prove that increasing oscillations in the potential at infinity have the same effect on the properties of the spectrum as the decay of the potential.     

Basis Property of a Rayleigh Beam with Boundary Stabilization

A Rayleigh beam equation with boundary stabilization control is considered. Using an abstract result on the Riesz basis generation of discrete operators in Hilbert spaces, we show that the closed-loop system is a Riesz spectral system; that is, there is a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions of the system, which forms a Riesz basis in the state Hilbert space. The spectrum-determined growth condition, distribution of eigenvalues, as well as stability of the system are developed. This paper generalizes the results in Ref. 1.     

Explicit Coercivity Estimates for the Linearized Boltzmann and Landau Operators

We prove explicit coercivity estimates for the linearized Boltzmann and Landau operators, for a general class of interactions including any inverse-power law interactions, and hard spheres. The functional spaces of these coercivity estimates depend on the collision kernel of these operators. They cover the spectral gap estimates for the linearized Boltzmann operator with Maxwell molecules, improve these estimates for hard potentials, and are the first explicit coercivity estimates for soft potentials (including in particular the case of Coulombian interactions). We also prove a regularity property for the linearized Boltzmann operator with non locally integrable collision kernels, and we deduce from it a new proof of the compactness of its resolvent for hard potentials without angular cutoff.     

Real Interpolation of Generalized Besov-Hardy Spaces and Applications

In this paper we consider generalized Hardy spaces which include classical Hardy spaces and Hardy-Lorentz spaces as special cases. We give real interpolation results for such spaces. As applications, we solve an interpolation problem for Besov spaces of generalized smoothness and prove the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators acting both in these spaces and in the local Hardy spaces. For the latter spaces, we also obtain wavelet decompositions.     

Asymptotic and Spectral Analysis of the Spatially Nonhomogeneous Timoshenko Beam Model

We develop spectral and asymptotic analysis for a class of nonselfadjoint operators which are the dynamics generators for the systems governed by the equations of the spatially nonhomogeneous Timoshenko beam model with a 2–parameter family of dissipative boundary conditions. Our results split into two groups. We prove asymptotic formulas for the spectra of the aforementioned operators (the spectrum of each operator consists of two branches of discrete complex eigenvalues and each branch has only two points of accumulation: +∞ and —∞), and for their generalized eigenvectors. Our second main result is the fact that these operators are Riesz spectral. To obtain this result, we prove that the systems of generalized eigenvectors form Riesz bases in the corresponding energy spaces. We also obtain the asymptotics of the spectra and the eigenfunctions for the nonselfadjoint polynomial operator pencils associated with these operators. The pencil asymptotics are essential for the proofs of the spectral results for the aforementioned dynamics generators.     

Non-consistent approximations of self-adjoint eigenproblems: application to the supercell method

In this article, we introduce a general theoretical framework to analyze non-consistent approximations of the discrete eigenmodes of a self-adjoint operator. We focus in particular on the discrete eigenvalues laying in spectral gaps. We first provide a priori error estimates on the eigenvalues and eigenvectors in the absence of spectral pollution. We then show that the supercell method for perturbed periodic Schrödinger operators falls into the scope of our study. We prove that this method is spectral pollution free, and we derive optimal convergence rates for the planewave discretization method, taking numerical integration errors into account. Some numerical illustrations are provided.     

On interpolation of bilinear operators

In this paper we study interpolation of bilinear operators between products of Banach spaces generated by abstract methods of interpolation in the sense of Aronszajn and Gagliardo. A variant of bilinear interpolation theorem is proved for bilinear operators from corresponding weighted c₀ spaces into Banach spaces of non-trivial the periodic Fourier cotype. This result is then extended to the spaces generated by the well-known minimal and maximal methods of interpolation determined by quasi-concave functions. In the case when a maximal construction is generated by Hilbert spaces, we obtain a general variant of bilinear interpolation theorem. Combining this result with the abstract Grothendieck theorem of Pisier yields further results. The results are applied in deriving a bilinear interpolation theorem for Calderón-Lozanovsky, for Orlicz spaces and an embedding interpolation formula for (E,p)-summing operators.
