Removability of isolated singularities for anisotropic elliptic equations with gradient absorption

We study the well-posedness of the third-order degenerate differential equation \(\left( {{P_3}} \right):\alpha {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime \prime }}\left( t \right) + {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime }}\left( t \right) = \beta Au\left( t \right) + f\left( t \right)\), (t ∈ [0, 2p]) with periodic boundary conditions \(Mu\left( 0 \right) = Mu\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu'\left( 0 \right) = Mu'\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu''\left( 0 \right) = Mu''\left( {2\pi } \right)\), in periodic Lebesgue–Bochner spaces L^p(T,X), periodic Besov spaces B_p,q^s(T,X) and periodic Triebel–Lizorkin spaces F_p,q^s(T,X), where A, B and M are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying D(A) \( \cap \)D(B) ? D(M) and α, β, γ ∈ R. Using known operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems, we completely characterize the well-posedness of (P₃) in the above three function spaces.     

Generalized fractional integrals in <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic morrey and Herz spaces

For Riesz potential I ^β (f) on p-adic linear space Q _p ⁿ and its modification \(\widetilde{I^\beta }(f)\) we give sufficient conditions of their boundedness from radialMorrey space to anotherMorrey or Campanato space. Also we study the boundedness of modified Riesz potential \(\widetilde{I^\beta }(f)\) from Herz space to special Campanato spaces.     

An Invariant Subspace Theorem and Invariant Subspaces of Analytic Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces - II

This paper is a follow-up contribution to our work (Sarkar in J Oper Theory, 73:433–441, 2015) where we discussed some invariant subspace results for contractions on Hilbert spaces. Here we extend the results of (Sarkar in J Oper Theory, 73:433–441, 2015) to the context of n-tuples of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces. Let \(T = (T_1, \ldots , T_n)\) be a pure commuting co-spherically contractive n-tuple of operators on a Hilbert space \({\mathcal {H}}\) and \({\mathcal {S}}\) be a non-trivial closed subspace of \({\mathcal {H}}\). One of our main results states that: \({\mathcal {S}}\) is a joint T-invariant subspace if and only if there exists a partially isometric operator \(\Pi \in {\mathcal {B}}(H^2_n({\mathcal {E}}), {\mathcal {H}})\) such that \({\mathcal {S}}= \Pi H^2_n({\mathcal {E}})\), where \(H^2_n\) is the Drury–Arveson space and \({\mathcal {E}}\) is a coefficient Hilbert space and \(T_i \Pi = \Pi M_{z_i}\), \(i = 1, \ldots , n\). In particular, it follows that a shift invariant subspace of a “nice” reproducing kernel Hilbert space over the unit ball in \({{\mathbb {C}}}^n\) is the range of a “multiplier” with closed range. Our work addresses the case of joint shift invariant subspaces of the Hardy space and the weighted Bergman spaces over the unit ball in \({{\mathbb {C}}}^n\).     

On Dirichlet Type Spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Stack><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">ω</Emphasis></Subscript><Superscript>2</Superscript></Stack> Over the Half–Plane

Some extensions of the results of the first author related with the Hilbert spaces A _ω,0 ² of functions holomorphic in the half–plane are proved. Some new Hilbert spaces A _ω ² of Dirichlet type are introduced, which are included in the Hardy space H2 over the half–plane. Several results on representations, boundary properties, isometry, interpolation, biorthogonal systems and bases are obtained for the spaces A _ω ² ? H₂.     

Resolutions of Hilbert Modules and Similarity

Let \(H^{2}_{m}\) be the Drury–Arveson (DA) module which is the reproducing kernel Hilbert space with the kernel function \((z, w) \in\mathbb{B}^{m} \times\mathbb{B}^{m} \rightarrow (1 - \sum_{i=1}^{m}z_{i} \bar{w}_{i})^{-1}\). We investigate for which multipliers \(\theta: \mathbb{B}^{m} \rightarrow \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{E}, \mathcal {E}_{*})\) with ran?M _θ closed, the quotient module \(\mathcal{H}_{\theta}\), given by

$\cdots\longrightarrow H^2_m \otimes\mathcal{E} \stackrel{M_{\theta }}{\longrightarrow}H^2_m \otimes\mathcal{E}_* \stackrel{\pi_{\theta}}{\longrightarrow}\mathcal{H}_{\theta}\longrightarrow0,$

is similar to \(H^{2}_{m} \otimes \mathcal {F}\) for some Hilbert space \(\mathcal{F}\). Here M _θ is the corresponding multiplication operator in \(\mathcal{L}(H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}, H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}_{*})\) for Hilbert spaces \(\mathcal{E}\) and \(\mathcal{E}_{*}\) and \(\mathcal {H}_{\theta}\) is the quotient module \((H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}_{*})/ M_{\theta}(H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E})\), and π _θ is the quotient map. We show that a necessary condition is the existence of a multiplier ψ in \(\mathcal{M}(\mathcal{E}_{*}, \mathcal{E})\) such that

$\theta\psi\theta= \theta.$

Moreover, we show that the converse is equivalent to a structure theorem for complemented submodules of \(H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}\) for a Hilbert space \(\mathcal {E}\), which is valid for the case of m=1. The latter result generalizes a known theorem on similarity to the unilateral shift, but the above statement is new. Further, we show that a finite resolution of DA-modules of arbitrary multiplicity using partially isometric module maps must be trivial. Finally, we discuss the analogous questions when the underlying operator m-tuple (or algebra) is not necessarily commuting (or commutative). In this case the converse to the similarity result is always valid.

     

Anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces and their applications

Let p ∈(0, 1], q ∈(0, ∞] and A be a general expansive matrix on Rn. We introduce the anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz space H~(p,q)_A(R~n) associated with A via the non-tangential grand maximal function and then establish its various real-variable characterizations in terms of the atomic and the molecular decompositions, the radial and the non-tangential maximal functions, and the finite atomic decompositions. All these characterizations except the ∞-atomic characterization are new even for the classical isotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces on Rn.As applications, we first prove that Hp,q A(Rn) is an intermediate space between H~(p1,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p2,q2)_A(R~n) with 0 p1 p p2 ∞ and q1, q, q2 ∈(0, ∞], and also between H~(p,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p,q2)_A(R~n) with p ∈(0, ∞)and 0 q1 q q2 ∞ in the real method of interpolation. We then establish a criterion on the boundedness of sublinear operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) into a quasi-Banach space; moreover, we obtain the boundedness of δ-type Calder′on-Zygmund operators from H~(p,∞)_A(R~n) to the weak Lebesgue space L~(p,∞)(R~n)(or to H~p_A(R~n)) in the ln λcritical case, from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,q)(R~n)(or to H~(p,q)_A(R~n)) with δ∈(0,(lnλ)/(ln b)], p ∈(1/(1+,δ),1] and q ∈(0, ∞], as well as the boundedness of some Calderon-Zygmund operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,∞)(R~n), where b := | det A|,λ_:= min{|λ| : λ∈σ(A)} and σ(A) denotes the set of all eigenvalues of A.     

Vector-Valued Kernels of Bergman Type

Bergman reproducing integral formulas can be obtained for holomorphic mappings \(f{:}\,{\mathbb {B}}\rightarrow {\mathbb {C}}^n,\,{\mathbb {B}}\) the open unit ball of \({\mathbb {C}}^n\), by applying the well-known formulas for scalar-valued functions on \({\mathbb {B}}\) to each coordinate function of f, provided those coordinate functions each lie in an appropriate Bergman space. Here, we consider an alternative formulation whereby f is reproduced as the integral of the product of a fixed vector-valued kernel and the scalar expression \(\langle f(z),z \rangle ,\,z\in {\mathbb {B}}\), where \(\langle \cdot ,\cdot \rangle \) is the Hermitian inner product in \({\mathbb {C}}^n\). We provide two different classes of vector-valued kernels that reproduce holomorphic mappings lying in spaces properly containing the weighted vector-valued Bergman spaces. An analysis of these larger spaces is given. The first set of kernels arises naturally from the scalar-valued Bergman kernels, while the second yields the orthogonal projection onto an isomorphic space of scalar-valued functions in the unweighted case.     

Infinite dimensional multiplicity free spaces III: matrix coefficients and regular functions

In earlier papers we studied direct limits \({(G,\,K) = \varinjlim\, (G_n,K_n)}\) of two types of Gelfand pairs. The first type was that in which the G _n /K _n are compact Riemannian symmetric spaces. The second type was that in which \({G_n = N_n\rtimes K_n}\) with N _n nilpotent, in other words pairs (G _n , K _n ) for which G _n /K _n is a commutative nilmanifold. In each we worked out a method inspired by the Frobenius–Schur Orthogonality Relations to define isometric injections \({\zeta_{m,n}: L^2(G_n/K_n) \hookrightarrow L^2(G_m/K_m)}\) for m ≧ n and prove that the left regular representation of G on the Hilbert space direct limit \({L^2(G/K) := \varinjlim L^2(G_n/K_n)}\) is multiplicity-free. This left open questions concerning the nature of the elements of L ²(G/K). Here we define spaces \({\mathcal{A}(G_n/K_n)}\) of regular functions on G _n /K _n and injections \({\nu_{m,n} : \mathcal{A}(G_n/K_n) \to \mathcal{A}(G_m/K_m)}\) for m ≧ n related to restriction by \({\nu_{m,n}(f)|_{G_n/K_n} = f}\). Thus the direct limit \({\mathcal{A}(G/K) := \varinjlim \{\mathcal{A}(G_n/K_n), \nu_{m,n}\}}\) sits as a particular G-submodule of the much larger inverse limit \({\varprojlim \{\mathcal{A}(G_n/K_n), {\rm restriction}\}}\). Further, we define a pre Hilbert space structure on \({\mathcal{A}(G/K)}\) derived from that of L ²(G/K). This allows an interpretation of L ²(G/K) as the Hilbert space completion of the concretely defined function space \({\mathcal{A}(G/K)}\), and also defines a G-invariant inner product on \({\mathcal{A}(G/K)}\) for which the left regular representation of G is multiplicity-free.     

Several extremal approximation problems for the characteristic function of a spherical layer

We discuss three interrelated extremal problems on the set P _n,m of algebraic polynomials of a given degree n on the unit sphere \(\mathbb{S}^{m - 1}\) of the Euclidean space ? ^m of dimension m ≥ 2. (1) Find the norm of the functional \(F\left( \eta \right) = F_h P_n = \int_{\mathbb{G}\left( \eta \right)} {P_n (x)dx}\), which is the integral over the spherical layer \(\mathbb{G}\left( \eta \right) = \left\{ {x = \left( {x_1 , \ldots ,x_m } \right) \in \mathbb{S}^{m - 1} :h' \leqslant x_m \leqslant h''} \right\}\) defined by a pair of real numbers η = (h′, h″), ?1 ≤ h′ < h″ ≤ 1, on the set P _n,m with the norm of the space \(L\left( {\mathbb{S}^{m - 1} } \right)\) of functions summable on the sphere. (2) Find the best approximation in \(L_\infty \left( {\mathbb{S}^{m - 1} } \right)\) of the characteristic function χ _η of the layer \(\mathbb{G}\left( \eta \right)\) by the subspace P _n,m ^⊥ of functions from \(L_\infty \left( {\mathbb{S}^{m - 1} } \right)\) that are orthogonal to the space of polynomials P _n,m . (3) Find the best approximation in the space \(L\left( {\mathbb{S}^{m - 1} } \right)\) of the function χ _η by the space of polynomials P _n,m . We present a solution of all three problems for the values h′ and h″ that are neighboring roots of the polynomial in a single variable of degree n + 1 that deviates least from zero in the space L ₁ ^φ (?1, 1) of functions summable on the interval (?1, 1) with ultraspherical weight φ(t) = (1 ? t ²) ^α , α = (m ? 3)/2. We study the respective one-dimensional problems in the space of functions summable on (?1, 1) with an arbitrary not necessarily ultraspherical weight.     

New Studies on the Fock Space Associated to the Generalized Airy Operator and Applications

In this work, we introduce the Fock space \(F_\nu (\mathbb {C})\) associated to the Airy operator \(L_\nu \), and we establish Heisenberg-type uncertainty principle for this space. Next, we study the Toeplitz operators, the Hankel operators and the translation operators on this space. Furthermore, we give an application of the theory of extremal function and reproducing kernel of Hilbert space, to establish the extremal function associated to a bounded linear operator \(T{:}\,F_\nu (\mathbb {C})\rightarrow H\), where H be a Hilbert space. Finally, we come up with some results regarding the extremal functions, when T is the difference operator and the Dunkl-difference operator, respectively.     

On Representation of a Solution to the Cauchy Problem by a Fourier Series in Sobolev-Orthogonal Polynomials Generated by Laguerre Polynomials

We consider the problem of representing a solution to the Cauchy problem for an ordinary differential equation as a Fourier series in polynomials l _r,k ^α (x) (k = 0, 1,...) that are Sobolev-orthonormal with respect to the inner product

$$\left\langle {f,g} \right\rangle = \sum\limits_{v = 0}^{r - 1} {{f^{(v)}}(0){g^{(v)}}} (0) + \int\limits_0^\infty {{f^{(r)}}(t)} {g^{(r)}}(t){t^\alpha }{e^{ - t}}dt$$

, and generated by the classical orthogonal Laguerre polynomials L _k ^α (x) (k = 0, 1,...). The polynomials l _r,k ^α (x) are represented as expressions containing the Laguerre polynomials L _n ^α?r (x). An explicit form of the polynomials l _r,k+r ^α (x) is established as an expansion in the powers x ^r+l , l = 0,..., k. These results can be used to study the asymptotic properties of the polynomials l _r,k ^α (x) as k→∞and the approximation properties of the partial sums of Fourier series in these polynomials.

     

Entropy and Widths of Multiplier Operators on Two-Point Homogeneous Spaces

In this article we continue the development of methods of estimating n-widths and entropy of multiplier operators begun in 1992 by A. Kushpel (Fourier Series and Their Applications, pp. 49–53, 1992; Ukr. Math. J. 45(1):59–65, 1993). Our main aim is to give an unified treatment for a wide range of multiplier operators Λ on symmetric manifolds. Namely, we investigate entropy numbers and n-widths of decaying multiplier sequences of real numbers \(\varLambda=\{\lambda_{k}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}\), |λ ₁|≥|λ ₂|≥?, \(\varLambda:L_{p}(\mathbb{M}^{d}) \rightarrow L_{q}(\mathbb{M}^{d})\) on two-point homogeneous spaces \(\mathbb{M}^{d}\): \(\mathbb{S}^{d}\), ? ^d (?), ? ^d (?), ? ^d (?), ?¹⁶(Cay). In the first part of this article, general upper and lower bounds are established for entropy and n-widths of multiplier operators. In the second part, different applications of these results are presented. In particular, we show that these estimates are order sharp in various important situations. For example, sharp order estimates are found for function sets with finite and infinite smoothness. We show that in the case of finite smoothness (i.e., |λ _k |?k ^?γ (lnk)^?ζ, γ/d>1, ζ≥0, k→∞), we have \(e_{n}(\varLambda U_{p}(\mathbb{S}^{d}), L_{q}(\mathbb{S}^{d})) \ll d_{n}(\varLambda U_{p}(\mathbb{S}^{d}), L_{q}(\mathbb{S}^{d}))\), n→∞, but in the case of infinite smoothness (i.e., \(|\lambda_{k}| \asymp e^{-\gamma k^{r}}\), γ>0, 0<r≤1, k→∞), we have \(e_{n}(\varLambda U_{p}(\mathbb{S}^{d}), L_{q}(\mathbb{S}^{d})) \gg d_{n}(\varLambda U_{p}(\mathbb{S}^{d}), L_{q}(\mathbb{S}^{d}))\), n→∞ for different p and q, where \(U_{p}(\mathbb{S}^{d})\) denotes the closed unit ball of \(L_{p}(\mathbb{S}^{d})\).     

On the extremal distance between two convex bodies

We consider the following modified version of the Banach-Mazur distance of convex bodies in \(\mathbb{R}^n :d\left( {K,L} \right) = \inf \left\{ {\left| \lambda \right|:\lambda \in \mathbb{R},\tilde K \subset \tilde L \subset \lambda \tilde K} \right\}\), where the infimum is taken over all non-degenerate affine images \(\tilde K\) and \(\tilde L\) of K and L. Gordon, Litvak, Meyer and Pajor in 2004 showed that for any two convex bodies d(K,L) ≤ n, moreover, if K is a simplex and L = ?L then d(K,L) = n. The following question arises naturally: Is equality only attained when one of the sets is a simplex? Leichtweiss in 1959, and later Palmon in 1992 proved that if d(K,B ₂ ⁿ ) = n, where B ₂ ⁿ is the Euclidean ball, then K is the simplex. We prove the affirmative answer to the question in the case when one of the bodies is strictly convex or smooth, thus obtaining a generalization of the result of Leichtweiss and Palmon.     

Two-weight inequality for operator-valued positive dyadic operators by parallel stopping cubes

We study the operator-valued positive dyadic operator

$${T_\lambda }\left( {f\sigma } \right): = \sum\limits_{Q \in D} {{\lambda _Q}} \int_Q {fd\sigma 1Q}, $$

where the coefficients {λ _Q : C → D} _Q∈D are positive operators from a Banach lattice C to a Banach lattice D. We assume that the Banach lattices C and D* each have the Hardy–Littlewood property. An example of a Banach lattice with the Hardy–Littlewood property is a Lebesgue space.

In the two-weight case, we prove that the L _C ^p (σ) → L _D ^q (ω) boundedness of the operator T _λ( · σ) is characterized by the direct and the dual L ^∞ testing conditions:

$$\left\| {{1_Q}{T_\lambda }} \right\|{\left( {{1_Q}f\sigma } \right)||_{L_D^q\left( \omega \right)}} \lesssim {\left\| f \right\|_{L_C^\infty \left( {Q,\sigma } \right)}}\sigma {\left( Q \right)^{1/p}}$$

,

$${\left\| {{1_Q}{T_\lambda }*\left( {{1_{Qg\omega }}} \right)} \right\|_{L_{C*}^{p'}\left( \sigma \right)}} \lesssim {\left\| g \right\|_{L_{D*}^\infty \left( {Q,\omega } \right)}}\omega {\left( Q \right)^{1/q'}}$$

.

Here L _C ^p (σ) and L _D ^q (ω) denote the Lebesgue–Bochner spaces associated with exponents 1 < p ≤ q < ∞, and locally finite Borel measures σ and ω.

In the unweighted case, we show that the L _C ^p (μ) → L _D ^p (μ) boundedness of the operator T _λ( · μ) is equivalent to the end-point direct L ^∞ testing condition:

$${\left\| {{1_Q}{T_\lambda }\left( {{1_Q}f\mu } \right)} \right\|_{L_D^1\left( \mu \right)}} \lesssim {\left\| f \right\|_{L_C^\infty \left( {Q,\mu } \right)}}\left( {Q,\mu } \right)\mu \left( Q \right)$$

.

This condition is manifestly independent of the exponent p. By specializing this to particular cases, we recover some earlier results in a unified way.     

Hyperplanes of $DW(5,{\mathbb{K}})$ with ${\mathbb{K}}$ a perfect field of characteristic 2

Let \({\mathbb{K}}\) be a perfect field of characteristic 2. In this paper, we classify all hyperplanes of the symplectic dual polar space \(DW(5,{\mathbb{K}})\) that arise from its Grassmann embedding. We show that the number of isomorphism classes of such hyperplanes is equal to 5+N, where N is the number of equivalence classes of the following equivalence relation R on the set \(\{\lambda\in {\mathbb{K}}\,|\,X^{2}+\lambda X+1\mbox{ isirreducible}\) \(\mbox{in }{\mathbb{K}}[X]\}\): (λ ₁,λ ₂)∈R whenever there exists an automorphism σ of \({\mathbb{K}}\) and an \(a\in {\mathbb{K}}\) such that (λ ₂ ^σ )^?1=λ ₁ ^?1 +a ²+a.     

Asymptotic behavior of the maximal zero of a polynomial orthogonal on a segment with a nonclassical weight

Let {p _n (t)} _n=0 ^t8 be a system of algebraic polynomials orthonormal on the segment [?1, 1] with a weight p(t); let {x _n,ν ^(p) } _ν=1 ⁿ be zeros of a polynomial p _n (t) (x _x,ν ^(p) = cosθ _n,ν ^(p) ; 0 < θ _n,1 ^(p) < θ _n,2 ^(p) < ... < θ _n,n ^(p) < π). It is known that, for a wide class of weights p(t) containing the Jacobi weight, the quantities θ _n,1 ^(p) and 1 ? x _n,1 ^(p) coincide in order with n ^?1 and n ^?2, respectively. In the present paper, we prove that, if the weight p(t) has the form p(t) = 4(1 ? t ²)^?1{ln²[(1 + t)/(1 ? t)] + π ²}^?1, then the following asymptotic formulas are valid as n → ∞:

$$\theta _{n,1}^{(p)} = \frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{{n\sqrt {\ln (n + 1)} }}\left[ {1 + {\rm O}\left( {\frac{1}{{\ln (n + 1)}}} \right)} \right],x_{n,1}^{(p)} = 1 - \left( {\frac{1}{{n^2 \ln (n + 1)}}} \right) + O\left( {\frac{1}{{n^2 \ln ^2 (n + 1)}}} \right).$$

     

Invertible Factorization over Multiplier Algebras

Let ${\mathcal{A}}$ denote the multiplier algebra of an E-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert space, ${H_E^2(k)}$ . Then when H ²(k) is nice, we give necessary and sufficient conditions that T > 0 factors as A*A, where A and ${A^{-1} \in \mathcal{A}}$ . Such nice spaces include the Bergman and Hardy spaces on the unit polydisk and unit ball in ${\mathbb{C}^d}$ .     

Holomorphic invariant forms of a bounded domain

Given a complete ortho-normal system  = (0, 1, 2, . . .) of L2H(D), the space of holomorphic and absolutely square integrable functions in the bounded domain D of Cn, we construct a holomorphic imbedding ι : D →■(n, ∞), the complex infinite dimensional Grassmann manifold of rank n. It is known that in ■(n, ∞) there are n closed (μ, μ)-forms τμ (μ = 1, . . . , n) which are invariant under the holomorphic isometric automorphism of ■(n, ∞) and generate algebraically all the harmonic differential forms of ...     

Expansion over the signum system on a sigma-finite space

A generalization of the notion of expansion over the signum system to the case of a sigma-finite space is considered in the paper. Let {E _k } _k=1 ^∞ be an exhaustion of X, then under the condition \(\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\tfrac{1}{{\mu E_k }}} = \infty \) the expansion converges to the expanded function in the metric of L ₂, and under the conditions \(\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\tfrac{1}{{\mu E_k }}} = \infty \) and \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{k \to \infty } \tfrac{{\mu E_{k - 1} }}{{\mu E_k }} = 1\) the convergence holds almost everywhere for functions from L _∞(X).
