Wavelet expansions of fractal measures

Let μ be a measure on ℝⁿ that satisfies the estimate μ(B _r(x))≤cr ^α for allx ∈ ℝⁿ and allr ≤ 1 (B _r(x) denotes the ball of radius r centered atx. Let ϕ _j,k ^(ɛ) (x)=2 ^nj2ϕ^(ɛ)(2 ^j x-k) be a wavelet basis forj ∈ ℤ, κ ∈ ℤⁿ, and ∈ ∈E, a finite set, and letP _j (T)=Σ_ɛ,k <T,ϕ _j,k ^(ɛ) >ϕ _j,k ^(ɛ) denote the associated projection operators at levelj (T is a suitable measure or distribution). Iff ∈Ls ^p(dμ) for 1 ≤p ≤ ∞, we show thatP _j(f dμ) ∈ L^p(dx) and ||P _j (fdμ)||L _p(dx)≤c2 ^{j((n-α)/p′))}||f||L _p(dμ) for allj ≥ 0. We also obtain estimates for the limsup and liminf of ||P _j (fdμ)||L _p(dx) under more restrictive hypotheses. Communicated by Guido Weiss     

The weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces hK q α,p (ω1,ω2)

Let 1<q<∞, n(1−1/q)≤α<∞, 0<p<∞ and ω₁,ω₂ ɛA ₁(R ⁿ ) (the Muckenhoupt class). In this paper, the author introduce the weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces hk _q ^α,p (gw₁,ω₂) and present their atomic decomposition. Using the atomic decomposition, the author find out their dual spaces, establish the boundedness on these spaces of the pseudo-differential operators of order zero and show thatD(R ⁿ ), the class of C^∞(Rⁿ)-functions with compactly support, is dense inhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂) and there is a subsequence, which converges in distrbutional sense to some distribution ofhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂), of any bounded sequence inhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂). In addition, the author also set up the boundedness of some non-linear quantities in compensated compactness. Supported by the NECF and the NECF and the NNSF of China.     

On the Riesz transform associated with the ultraspherical polynomials

We define and investigate the Riesz transform associated with the differential operatorL _λ f(θ)=−f"(θ)−2λ cot’θ. We prove that it can be defined as a principal value and that it is bounded onL ^P ([0, π],dm _λ (θ)),dm _λ(θ)=sin^2λ θdθ, for every 1<p<∞ and of weak type (1,1). The same boundedness properties hold for the maximal operator of the truncated operators. The speed of convergence of the truncated operators is measured in terms of the boundedness inL ^P (dm _λ ), 1<p<∞, and weak type (1,1) of the oscillation and ρ-variation associated to them. Also, a multiplier theorem is proved to get the boundedness of the conjugate function studied by Muckenhoupt and Stein for 1<p<∞ as a corollary of the results for the Riesz transform. Moreover, we find a condition on the weightv which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a weightu such that the Riesz transform is bounded fromL ^P (v dm _λ ) intoL ^P (u dm _λ ).

The Maximal Operator Associated to a Nonsymmetric Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Semigroup

Let (ℋ _t ) _t≥0 be the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup on ℝ ^d with covariance matrix I and drift matrix λ(R−I), where λ>0 and R is a skew-adjoint matrix, and denote by γ _∞ the invariant measure for (ℋ _t ) _t≥0. Semigroups of this form are the basic building blocks of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroups which are normal on L ²(γ _∞). We prove that if the matrix R generates a one-parameter group of periodic rotations, then the maximal operator ℋ_* f(x)=sup  _t≥o |ℋ _t f(x)| is of weak type 1 with respect to the invariant measure γ _∞. We also prove that the maximal operator associated to an arbitrary normal Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup is bounded on L ^p (γ _∞) if and only if 1<p≤∞.      

Reconstruction of functions from their integrals over<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-planes

Thek-plane Radon transform assigns to a functionsf(x) on ℝ ⁿ the collection of integralsf(τ)=∫ _τ f over allk-dimensional planesτ. We give a systematic treatment of two inversion methods for this transform, namely, the method of Riesz potentials, and the method of spherical means. We develop new analytic tools which allow to invertf(τ) under minimal assumptions forf. It is assumed thatfεL ^p , 1≤p<n/k, orf is a continuous function with minimal rate of decay at infinity. In the framework of the first method, our approach employs intertwining fractional integrals associated to thek-plane transform. Following the second method, we extend the original formula of Radon for continuous functions on ℝ² tofεL ^p (ℝ ⁿ ) and all 1≤k<n. New integral formulae and estimates, generalizing those of Fuglede and Solmon, are obtained.

If f(0)≤0 and satisfies certain conditions, then the equation has no radial solution if the annuli are too wide.      8. The Helmholtz decomposition of weightedLq-spaces for Muckenhoupt weights      Andreas Fr?hlich 《Annali dell'Universita di Ferrara》2000,46(1):11-19 We consider weights of Muckenhoupt classA q, 1<q<∞. For a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω⊂ℝn we prove a compact embedding and a Poincaré inequality in weighted Sobolev spaces. These technical tools allow us to solve the weak Neumann problem for the Laplace equation in weighted spaces on ℝn, ℝn +, on bounded and on exterior domains Ω with boundary of classC 1, which will yield the Helmholtz decomposition ofL ω q(Ω)n for general ω∈A q. This is done by transferring the method of Simader and Sohr [4] to the weighted case. Our result generalizes a result of Farwig and Sohr [2] where the Helmholtz decomposition ofL ω p(Ω)n is proved for an exterior domain and weights of Muckenhoupt class without singularities or degeneracies in a neighbourhood of ϖΩ. Sunto In questo lavoro consideriamo dei pesi della classe di MuckenhouptA q, 1<q<∞. Per un dominio limitato lipschitziano Ω⊂ℝn, dimostriamo una immersione compatta ed una disuguaglianza di Poincaré in spazi di Sobolev con peso. Questa tecnica ci consente di risolvere il problema debole di Neumann per l’equazione di Laplace in spazi pesati in ℝn, ℝn + in domini limitati ed in domini esterni con frontiera di classeC 1, che conduce alla decomposizione di Helmholtz diL ω q(Ω)n per un qualsiasi ω∈A q. Il risultato è ottenuto trasferendo il metodo di Simader e Sohr [4] al caso pesato. Quello qui presente estende un risultato di Farwig e Sohr [2] dove la decomposizione di Helmholtz diL ω q(Ω)n è dimostrata per domini esterni e pesi della classe di Muckenhoupt privi di singolarità in un intorno di ϖΩ.       9. The Markov chain associated to a Pick function      Gérard Letac  Dhafer Malouche 《Probability Theory and Related Fields》2000,118(4):439-454 To each function ϕ˜(ω) mapping the upper complex half plane ?+ into itself such that the coefficient of ω in the Nevanlinna integral representation is one, we associate the kernel p(y, dx) of a Markov chain on ℝ by The aim of this paper is to study this chain in terms of the measure μ appearing in the Nevanlinna representation of ϕ˜(ω). We prove in particular three results. If x 2 is integrable by μ, a law of large numbers is available. If μ is singular, i.e. if ϕ˜ is an inner function, then the operator P on L ∞(ℝ) for the Lebesgue measure is the adjoint of T defined on L 1(ℝ) by T(f)(ω) = f(ϕ(ω)), where ϕ is the restriction of ϕ˜ to ℝ. Finally, if μ is both singular and with compact support, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for recurrence of the chain.

We investigate some properties of Fk.p(z) and ≈Fk.p(1/z).

The Helmholtz decomposition of weightedLq-spaces for Muckenhoupt weights

We consider weights of Muckenhoupt classA _q, 1<q<∞. For a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω⊂ℝⁿ we prove a compact embedding and a Poincaré inequality in weighted Sobolev spaces. These technical tools allow us to solve the weak Neumann problem for the Laplace equation in weighted spaces on ℝⁿ, ℝⁿ ₊, on bounded and on exterior domains Ω with boundary of classC ¹, which will yield the Helmholtz decomposition ofL _ω ^q(Ω)ⁿ for general ω∈A _q. This is done by transferring the method of Simader and Sohr [4] to the weighted case. Our result generalizes a result of Farwig and Sohr [2] where the Helmholtz decomposition ofL _ω ^p(Ω)ⁿ is proved for an exterior domain and weights of Muckenhoupt class without singularities or degeneracies in a neighbourhood of ϖΩ.
