Best approximations of the classes B p,θ r of periodic functions of many variables in uniform metric

We obtain estimates exact in order for the best approximations of the classes B _∞,θ ^r of periodic functions of two variables in the metric of L _∞ by trigonometric polynomials whose spectrum belongs to a hyperbolic cross. We also investigate the best approximations of the classes B _p,θ ^r , 1 ≤ p < ∞, of periodic functions of many variables in the metric of L _∞ by trigonometric polynomials whose spectrum belongs to a graded hyperbolic cross. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 58, No. 10, pp. 1395–1406, October, 2006.     

Solutions in Sobolev spaces of vector refinement equations with a general dilation matrix

In this paper, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions in a Sobolev space W_p^k(ℝ^s) (1≤p≤∞) to a vector refinement equation with a general dilation matrix. The criterion is constructive and can be implemented. Rate of convergence of vector cascade algorithms in a Sobolev space W_p^k(ℝ^s) will be investigated. When the dilation matrix is isotropic, a characterization will be given for the L_p (1≤p≤∞) critical smoothness exponent of a refinable function vector without the assumption of stability on the refinable function vector. As a consequence, we show that if a compactly supported function vector φ∈L_p(ℝ^s) (φ∈C(ℝ^s) when p=∞) satisfies a refinement equation with a finitely supported matrix mask, then all the components of φ must belong to a Lipschitz space Lip(ν,L_p(ℝ^s)) for some ν>0. This paper generalizes the results in R.Q. Jia, K.S. Lau and D.X. Zhou (J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 7 (2001) 143–167) in the univariate setting to the multivariate setting.

Two order superconvergence of finite element methods for Sobolev equations

We consider finite element methods applied to a class of Sobolev equations inR ^d(d ≥ 1). Global strong superconvergence, which only requires that partitions are quais-uniform, is investigated for the error between the approximate solution and the Ritz-Sobolev projection of the exact solution. Two order superconvergence results are demonstrated inW ^1,p (Ω) andL _p(Ω) for 2 ≤p < ∞.

Approximative characteristics of the isotropic classes of periodic functions of many variables

Exact-order estimates are obtained for the best orthogonal trigonometric approximations of the Besov (B _p,θ ^r ) and Nukol’skii (H _p ^r ) classes of periodic functions of many variables in the metric of L _q , 1 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞. We also establish the orders of the best approximations of functions from the same classes in the spaces L ₁ and L _∞ by trigonometric polynomials with the corresponding spectrum.

Theorems for generalized Favard-Kantorovich and Favard-Durrmeyer operators in exponential function spaces

We consider the Kantorovich and the Durrmeyer type modifications of the generalized Favard operators and we prove some direct approximation theorems for functions f such that w _σ f ∈ L _p (R), where 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ and w _σ (x) = exp(−σx ²), σ > 0.     

Best approximation by ridge functions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-spaces

We study the approximation of the classes of functions by the manifold R _n formed by all possible linear combinations of n ridge functions of the form r(a · x)): It is proved that, for any 1 ≤ q ≤ p ≤ ∞, the deviation of the Sobolev class W ^r _p from the set R _n of ridge functions in the space L _q (B ^d ) satisfies the sharp order n ^-r/(d-1).     

Spaces of analytic functions of Hardy-Bloch type

For 0<p≤∞ and 0<q≤∞, the space of Hardy-Bloch type ℬ(p,q) consists of those functionsf which are analytic in the unit diskD such that (1−r)M _p (r,f′)⊂L ^q (dr/(1−r)). We note that ℬ(∞,∞) coincides with the Bloch space ℬ and that ℬ⊂ℬ(p,∞) for allp. Also, the space ℬ(p,p) is the Dirichlet spaceD _p−1 ^p . We prove a number of results on decomposition of spaces with logarithmic weights which allow us to obtain sharp results about the mean growth of the ℬ(p,q). In particular, we prove that iff is an analytic function inD and 2≤p<∞, then the conditionM _p (r,f′)=O((1−r)⁻¹), asr→1, implies that

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.     

Average Width and Optimal Interpolation of the Sobolev-Wiener Class Wpq(R) in the Metric Lq(R)

In this paper, we determine the exact value of average n − K width _n(W^r_pq(R), L_q(R)) of Sobolev-Wiener class W^r_pq(R) in the metric L_q(R) for 1 > q ≥ p > ∞ and get the value of _n(W^r_p(R), L_qp(R)) for the dual case. We also solve the optimal interpolation problems of W^r_pq(R) in the metric L_q(R) and W^r_p(R) in the metric L_qp(R) for 1 < q ≤ p < ∞.     

On weighted approximation by Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators

In this paper, we consider weighted approximation by Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators in L_p[0, 1] (1≤p≤∞), where the weight function w(x)=x^α(1−x)^β,−1/p<α, β<1-1/p. We obtain the direct and converse theorems. As an important tool we use appropriate K-functionals. Supported by Zhejiang Provincial Science Foundation.

Bernstein and Gelfand widths of certain classes of analytic functions. II

The Gelfand widths of the unit ball of H²(ν) (the weighted Hardy space) with respect to the metric of the space L_∞(T_r) are considered (here T_r is the circle of radius r centered at the origin), as well as the Bernstein widths of the unit ball of H^∞ with respect to the metric of the space L₂(T_r, μ). Asymptotic formulas for the widths in question are established for arbitrary measures ν, μ. Bibliography: 5 titles. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 232, 1996, pp. 134–140.

The maximal (C,α,β) operator on Hp(T×T)

The two-dimensional classical Hardy space H_p(T×T) on the bidisc are introduced, and it is shown that the maximal operator of the (C,α,β) means of a distribution is bounded from the space H_p(T×T) to L_p(T²) (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p≤∞), and is of weak type (H ₁ ^# (T×T), L₁(T²)), where the Hardy space H ₁ ^# (T×T) is defined by the hybrid maximal function. As a consequence we obtain that the (C, α, β) means of a function f∈H ₁ ^# (T×T)⊃LlogL(T ²) convergs a. e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the (C, α, β) means are uniformly bounded on the spaces H_p(T×T) whenever 1/(α+1), 1(β+1)<p<∞. Thus, in case f∈H_p(T×T), the (C, α, β) means convergs to f in H_p(T×T) norm whenever (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p<∞). The same results are proved for the conjugate (C, α, β) means, too.
