C-Weierstrass for compact sets in Hilbert space

The C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for any compact subset X of a Hilbert space . The same theorem is also proved for Whitney 1-jets on X when X satisfies the following further condition: There exist finite dimensional linear subspaces such that ?_n?1H_n is dense in and π_n(X)=X∩H_n for each n?1. Here, is the orthogonal projection. It is also shown that when X is compact convex with and satisfies the above condition, then C¹(X) is complete if and only if the C¹-Whitney extension theorem holds for X. Finally, for compact subsets of , an extension of the C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for C¹ maps with compact derivatives.

Standing waves for supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Let V(x) be a non-negative, bounded potential in RN, N?3 and p supercritical, . We look for positive solutions of the standing-wave nonlinear Schrödinger equation Δu−V(x)u+up=0 in RN, with u(x)→0 as |x|→+∞. We prove that if V(x)=o(⁻²|x|) as |x|→+∞, then for N?4 and this problem admits a continuum of solutions. If in addition we have, for instance, V(x)=O(|x|^−μ) with μ>N, then this result still holds provided that N?3 and . Other conditions for solvability, involving behavior of V at ∞, are also provided.

Markov interlacing property for exponential polynomials

Let Un be an extended Tchebycheff system on the real line. Given a point , where x₁<?<xn, we denote by the polynomial from Un, which has zeros x₁,…,xn. (It is uniquely determined up to multiplication by a constant.) The system Un has the Markov interlacing property (M) if the assumption that and interlace implies that the zeros of and interlace strictly, unless . We formulate a general condition which ensures the validity of the property (M) for polynomials from Un. We also prove that the condition is satisfied for some known systems, including exponential polynomials and . As a corollary we obtain that property (M) holds true for Müntz polynomials , too.

We study certain Hardy-type sequence spaces Hp and , 1?p?∞, which are analogues of ?^∞ and c₀, respectively. We show that the Mazur product is not onto for every p∈(1,∞) with q=p⁻¹(p−1). We present corollaries for spaces defined via weighted ?p seminorms and for c₀. The latter corollary provides a new solution of Mazur's Problem 8 in the Scottish Book.

Notes on ordered reproducing Hilbert spaces over the complex plane

Let f, g be entire functions. If there exist M₁,M₂>0 such that |f(z)|?M₁|g(z)| whenever |z|>M₂ we say that f?g. Let X be a reproducing Hilbert space with an orthogonal basis . We say that X is an ordered reproducing Hilbert space (or X is ordered) if f?g and g∈X imply f∈X. In this note, we show that if then X is ordered; if then X is not ordered. In the case , there are examples to show that X can be of order or opposite.
