Spectrum Problems for Singular Integral Operators with Carleman Shift

In this paper we are concerned with the complete spectral analysis for the operator 𝒯 = 𝒳𝒮𝒰 in the space L_p(𝕋) (𝕋 denoting the unit circle), where 𝒳 is the characteristic function of some arc of 𝕋, 𝒮 is the singular integral operator with Cauchy kernel and 𝒰 is a Carleman shift operator which satisfies the relations 𝒰² = I and 𝒮𝒰 = ±𝒰𝒮, where the sign + or — is taken in dependence on whether 𝒰 is a shift operator on L_p(𝕋) preserving or changing the orientation of 𝕋. This includes the identification of the Fredholm and essential parts of the spectrum of the operator 𝒯, the determination of the defect numbers of 𝒯 — λI, for λ in the Fredholm part of the spectrum, as well as a formula for the resolvent operator.     

Weyl quantization of Lebesgue spaces

We study boundedness and compactness properties for the Weyl quantization with symbols in L^q (?^2d ) acting on L^p (?^d ). This is shown to be equivalent, in suitable Banach space setting, to that of the Wigner transform. We give a short proof by interpolation of Lieb's sufficient conditions for the boundedness of the Wigner transform, proving furthermore that these conditions are also necessary. This yields a complete characterization of boundedness for Weyl operators in L^p setting; compactness follows by approximation. We extend these results defining two scales of spaces, namely L_*^q (?^2d ) and L_?^q (R^2d ), respectively smaller and larger than the L^q (?^2d ),and showing that the Weyl correspondence is bounded on L_*^q (R^2d ) (and yields compact operators), whereas it is not on L_?^q (R^2d ). We conclude with a remark on weak‐type L^p boundedness (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A note on the sunouchi operator with respect to the walsh—kaczmarz system

An analogue of the so—called Sunouchi operator with respect to the Walsh—Kaczmarz system will be investigated. We show the boundedness of this operator if we take it as a map from the dyadic Hardy space H ^p to L ^p for all 0<p≤1.. For the proof we consider a multiplier operator and prove its (H ^p H ^p)—boundedness for 0<p≤1. Since the multiplier is obviously bounded from L ² to L ², a theorem on interpolation of operators can be applied to show that our multiplier is of weak type (1,1) and of type (q q) for all 1<q<∞. The same statements follow also for the Sunouchi operator.     

L p-Theory of elliptic differential operators on manifolds of bounded geometry

This paper is devoted to some of the properties of uniformly elliptic differential operators with bounded coefficients on manifolds of bounded geometry in L ^pspaces. We prove the coincidence of minimal and maximal extensions of an operator of a considered type with a positive principal symbol, the existence of holomorphic semigroup, generated by it, and the estimates of L ^p-norms of the operators of this semigroup. Some spectral properties of such operators in L ^pspaces are also studied.     

Directional maximal operators with smooth densities

We study directional maximal operators on ?ⁿ with smooth densities. We prove that if the classical directional maximal operator in a given set of directions is weak type (1, 1), then the corresponding smooth‐density maximal operator in that set of directions will be bounded on L^q for q suitably large, depending on the order of the stationary points of the density function. In contrast to the classical case, if q is too small, the smooth density operator need not be bounded on L^q. Improving upon previously known results, we also establish that if the density function has only finitely many extreme points, each of finite order, then any maximal operator in a finite sum of diadic directions is bounded on all L^q for q > 1 (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Global solutions for operator Riccati equations with unbounded coefficients: A non-linear semigroup approach

Let X be a Banach space of real-valued functions on [0, 1] and let ?(X) be the space of bounded linear operators on X. We are interested in solutions R:(0, ∞) → ?(X) for the operator Riccati equation where T is an unbounded multiplication operator in X and the B_i(t)'s are bounded linear integral operators on X. This equation arises in transport theory as the result of an invariant embedding of the Boltzmann equation. Solutions which are of physical interest are those that take on values in the space of bounded linear operators on L¹(0, 1). Conditions on X, R(0), T, and the coefficients are found such that the theory of non-linear semigroups may be used to prove global existence of strong solutions in ?(X) that also satisfy R(t) ? ?(L¹(0,1)) for all t ≥ 0.     

Boundedness of Riesz transforms for elliptic operators on abstract Wiener spaces

Let (E,H,μ) be an abstract Wiener space and let D_V:=VD, where D denotes the Malliavin derivative and V is a closed and densely defined operator from H into another Hilbert space . Given a bounded operator B on , coercive on the range , we consider the operators A:=V^*BV in H and in , as well as the realisations of the operators and in L^p(E,μ) and respectively, where 1<p<∞. Our main result asserts that the following four assertions are equivalent:

(1) with for ;

(2) admits a bounded H^∞-functional calculus on ;

(3) with for ;

(4) admits a bounded H^∞-functional calculus on .

Moreover, if these conditions are satisfied, then . The equivalence (1)–(4) is a non-symmetric generalisation of the classical Meyer inequalities of Malliavin calculus (where , V=I, ). A one-sided version of (1)–(4), giving L^p-boundedness of the Riesz transform in terms of a square function estimate, is also obtained. As an application let −A generate an analytic C₀-contraction semigroup on a Hilbert space H and let −L be the L^p-realisation of the generator of its second quantisation. Our results imply that two-sided bounds for the Riesz transform of L are equivalent with the Kato square root property for A. The boundedness of the Riesz transform is used to obtain an L^p-domain characterisation for the operator L.

M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators on L p (ℝn )

We construct the minimal and maximal extensions in L ^p (?ⁿ ), 1 < p < ∞, for M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators initiated by Garello and Morando. We prove that they are equal and determine the domains of the minimal, and hence maximal, extensions of M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators. For M ‐elliptic pseudodifferential operators with constant coefficients, the spectra and essential spectra are computed. An application to quantization is given. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Lambert multipliers between <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

In this paper Lambert multipliers acting between L ^p spaces are characterized by using some properties of conditional expectation operator. Also, Fredholmness of corresponding bounded operators is investigated.     

Existence and maximal Lp-regularity of solutions for the porous medium equation on manifolds with conical singularities

We consider the porous medium equation on manifolds with conical singularities and show existence, uniqueness, and maximal L^p-regularity of a short-time solution. In particular, we obtain information on the short time asymptotics of the solution near the conical point. Our method is based on bounded imaginary powers results for cone differential operators on Mellin–Sobolev spaces and R-sectoriality perturbation techniques.     

Approximation numbers and Kolmogorov widths of Hardy‐type operators in a non‐homogeneous case

Let I = [a , b ] ? ?, let 1 < q ≤ p < ∞, let u and v be positive functions with u ∈ L _{p ′} (I ) and v ∈ L _q (I ), and let T : L _p (I ) → L _q (I ) be the Hardy‐type operator given by Given any n ∈ ?, let s _n stand for either the n ‐th approximation number of T or the n ‐th Kolmogorov width of T . We show that where c _pq is an explicit constant depending only on p and q . (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

BV ‐extension of rate independent operators

Rate independent operators naturally arise in the mathematical analysis of hysteresis. Among rate independent operators, the locally monotone ones are those better suited for the study of PDE's with hysteresis. We prove that a rate independent operator R: Lip (0, T) → BV (0, T) ∩ C (0, T) which is locally monotone and continuous with respect to the strict topology of BV admits a unique continuous extension R?: BV (0, T) → BV (0, T). This general result applies to several concrete hysteresis operators. For many of these operators the existence of a continuous extension was previously known at most to the space BV (0, T) ∩ C (0, T). (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On pointwise convergence of the family of Urysohn‐type integral operators

In this paper, we consider a family of nonlinear integral operators of Urysohn‐type and study the pointwise convergence of the family at characteristic points of L₁?function. The kernel K_λ(x,t,u(t)) depends on the positive parameter λ changing on the set of numbers with the accumulation point at infinity and K_λ(x,t,u(t)) is an entire analytic function of variable u, which is a bounded function belonging to L₁(R).     

Fourier multipliers and spectral measures in Banach function spaces

It is classical that amongst all spaces L^p (G), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, for , or say, only L² (G) (that is, p = 2) has the property that every bounded Borel function on the dual group Γ determines a bounded Fourier multiplier operator in L² (G). Stone’s theorem asserts that there exists a regular, projection-valued measure (of operators on L² (G)), defined on the Borel sets of Γ, with Fourier-Stieltjes transform equal to the group of translation operators on L² (G); this fails for every p ≠ 2. We show that this special status of L² (G) amongst the spaces L^p (G), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, is actually more widespread; it continues to hold in a much larger class of Banach function spaces defined over G (relative to Haar measure).      

The Boundedness of Calderón-Zygmund Operators by Wavelet Characterization

This article deals with the boundedness properties of Calderón-Zygmund operators on Hardy spaces Hp(Rn). We use wavelet characterization of Hp(Rn) to show that a Calderón-Zygmund operator T with T*1 = 0 is bounded on Hp(Rn), n/n+ε p ≤ 1, where ε is the regular exponent of kernel of T . This approach can be applied to the boundedness of operators on certain Hardy spaces without atomic decomposition or molecular characterization.     

On the boundedness of some potential‐type operators with oscillating kernels

We consider a class of multidimensional potential‐type operators with kernels that have singularities at the origin and on the unit sphere and that are oscillating at infinity. We describe some convex sets in the (1/p, 1/q)‐plane for which these operators are bounded from L_p into L_q and indicate domains where they are not bounded. We also reveal some effects which show that oscillation and singularities of the kernels may strongly influence on the picture of boundedness of the operators under consideration.

Bounded factorization property for Fréchet spaces

An operator T ∈ L(E, F) factors over G if T = RS for some S ∈ L(E, G) and R ∈ L(G, F); the set of such operators is denoted by L^G(E, F). A triple (E, G, F) satisfies bounded factorization property (shortly, (E, G, F) ∈ ???) if L^G(E, F) ? LB(E, F), where LB(E, F) is the set of all bounded linear operators from E to F. The relationship (E, G, F) ∈ ??? is characterized in the spirit of Vogt's characterisation of the relationship L(E, F) = LB(E, F) [23]. For triples of K?othe spaces the property ??? is characterized in terms of their K?othe matrices. As an application we prove that in certain cases the relations L(E, G₁) = LB(E, G₁) and L(G₂, F) = LB(G₂, F) imply (E, G, F) ∈ ??? where G is a tensor product of G₁ and G₂.     

Endpoint estimates for the commutator of pseudo-differential operators

It is well known that the commutator Tb of the Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator is bounded on L^p(Rⁿ) for 1 < p < +∞ if and only if b ∈ BMO [1]. On the other hand, the commutator T_b is bounded from H¹(Rⁿ) into L¹(Rⁿ) only if the function b is a constant [2]. In this article, we will discuss the boundedness of commutator of certain pseudo-differential operators on Hardy spaces H¹. Let T^σ be the operators that its symbol is S⁰_1,δ with 0 ≤ δ < 1, if b ∈ LMO_∞, then, the commutator [b, T^σ] is bounded from H¹(Rⁿ) into L¹(Rⁿ) and from L¹(Rⁿ) into BMO(Rⁿ); If [b, T^σ] is bounded from H¹(Rⁿ) into L¹(Rⁿ) or L¹(Rⁿ) into BMO(Rⁿ), then, b ∈ LMO_loc.     

Approximation properties of λ‐Bernstein‐Kantorovich operators with shifted knots

In the present article, Kantorovich variant of λ‐Bernstein operators with shifted knots are introduced. The advantage of using shifted knot is that one can do approximation on [0,1] as well as on its subinterval. In addition, it adds flexibility to operators for approximation. Some basic results for approximation as well as rate of convergence of the introduced operators are established. The r^th order generalization of the operator is also discussed. Further for comparisons, some graphics and error estimation tables are presented using MATLAB.
