Submonotone mappings and the proximal point algorithm

The proximal point algorithm for solving 0 ε T(x) with T maximal monotone is extended to mappings T satisfying the weaker property of maximal strict hypomonotonicity. The algorithm is applied to the minimization of a certain class of nondifferentiable nonconvex functions, the lower-C² functions., whose subdifferentials are maximal strictly hypomonotone. For functions in this class, each step of the algorithm consists in minimizing a convex function.     

Maximal q-Plurisubharmonic Functions in {\mathbb{C}^{n}}

In this paper we will study maximal q-plurisubharmonic functions in ${\mathbb{C}^n}$ . At the same time, we define a notion above weakly q-plurisubharmonic functions and describe the relation between these functions and maximal q-plurisubharmonic functions.     

Characterizations of Maximal Elements for Extended Real Valued Increasing and Co-Radiant Functions

In this article, we first investigate maximal elements of the support set for non-positive valued (strictly) increasing and co-radiant functions. We then characterize maximal elements of the support set for extended real valued (strictly) increasing and co-radiant functions. Finally, we present conditions which distinguish maximal elements of the support set for this class of functions.     

Algebraic and topological closure conditions for classes of pseudo-Boolean functions

We examine classes of real-valued functions of 0-1 variables closed under algebraic operations as well as topological convergence, and having a certain local characteristic (requiring that any function not in the class should have a k-variable minor not belonging to this class). It is shown that for k=2, the only 4 maximal classes with these properties are those of submodular, supermodular, monotone increasing and monotone decreasing functions. All the 13 locally defined closed classes are determined and shown to be intersections of the 4 maximal ones. All maximal classes for k≥3 are determined and characterized by the sign of higher order derivatives of the functions in the class.     

A Class of Maximal Functions with Oscillating Kernels

The author studies the L^p mapping properties of a class of maximal functions that are related to oscillatory singular integral operators. Lp estimates, as well as the corresponding weighted estimates of such maximal functions, are obtained. Moreover, several applications of our results are highlighted.     

Monotone Operators Representable by l.s.c. Convex Functions

A theorem due to Fitzpatrick provides a representation of arbitrary maximal monotone operators by convex functions. This paper explores representability of arbitrary (nonnecessarily maximal) monotone operators by convex functions. In the finite-dimensional case, we identify the class of monotone operators that admit a convex representation as the one consisting of intersections of maximal monotone operators and characterize the monotone operators that have a unique maximal monotone extension.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 47H05, 46B99, 47H17.     

Duality between bent functions and affine functions

A Boolean function in an even number of variables is called bent if it is at the maximal possible Hamming distance from the class of all affine Boolean functions. We prove that there is a duality between bent functions and affine functions. Namely, we show that affine function can be defined as a Boolean function that is at the maximal possible distance from the set of all bent functions.     

Global optimization of the difference of affine increasing and positively homogeneous functions

The theory of increasing and positively homogeneous (IPH) functions defined on a real topological vector space X has well been developed. In this paper, we first give various characterizations for maximal elements of the support set of this class of functions. As an application, we present various characterizations for maximal elements of the support set of affine IPH functions. Finally, we investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for the global minimum of the difference of two strictly affine IPH functions.     

Universality properties of Walsh–Fourier series

L~p Estimates of Rough Maximal Functions Along Surfaces with Applications

In this paper,we study the L~p mapping properties of certain class of maximal oscillatory singular integral operators.We prove a general theorem for a class of maximal functions along surfaces.As a consequence of such theorem,we establish the L~p boundedness of various maximal oscillatory singular integrals provided that their kernels belong to the natural space L log L(S~(n-1)).Moreover,we highlight some additional results concerning operators with kernels in certain block spaces.The results in this paper substantially improve previously known results.     

Maximal Blaschke products

We consider the classical problem of maximizing the derivative at a fixed point over the set of all bounded analytic functions in the unit disk with prescribed critical points. We show that the extremal function is essentially unique and always an indestructible Blaschke product. This result extends the Nehari–Schwarz Lemma and leads to a new class of Blaschke products called maximal Blaschke products. We establish a number of properties of maximal Blaschke products, which indicate that maximal Blaschke products constitute an appropriate infinite generalization of the class of finite Blaschke products.

Banach-valued holomorphic functions on the maximal ideal space of H ∞

We study Banach-valued holomorphic functions defined on open subsets of the maximal ideal space of the Banach algebra H ^∞ of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}\subset \mathbb{C}$ with pointwise multiplication and supremum norm. In particular, we establish vanishing cohomology for sheaves of germs of such functions and, solving a Banach-valued corona problem for H ^∞, prove that the maximal ideal space of the algebra $H_{\mathrm{comp}}^{\infty}(A)$ of holomorphic functions on $\mathbb{D}$ with relatively compact images in a commutative unital complex Banach algebra A is homeomorphic to the direct product of maximal ideal spaces of H ^∞ and A.     

On maximal subalgebras of the algebras of unary recursive functions

Under consideration are the algebras of unary functions with supports in countable primitively recursively closed classes and composition operation. Each algebra of this type is proved to have continuum many maximal subalgebras including the set of all unary functions of the class ε ² of the Grzegorczyk hierarchy.     

Multiple weighted estimates for commutators of multilinear maximal function

Let M be the multilinear maximal function and b =(b1,..., bm) be a collection of locally integrable functions. Denote by M b and [ b, M] the maximal commutator and the commutator of M with b, respectively. In this paper, the multiple weighted strong and weak type estimates for operators M b and [ b, M] are studied. Some characterizations of the class of functions bj are given, for which these operators satisfy some strong or weak type estimates.

Points with maximal Birkhoff average oscillation

Let f: X → X be a continuous map with the specification property on a compact metric space X. We introduce the notion of the maximal Birkhoff average oscillation, which is the “worst” divergence point for Birkhoff average. By constructing a kind of dynamical Moran subset, we prove that the set of points having maximal Birkhoff average oscillation is residual if it is not empty. As applications, we present the corresponding results for the Birkhoff averages for continuous functions on a repeller and locally maximal hyperbolic set.     

Sublinear operators in generalized weighted Morrey spaces

Generalized weighted Morrey spaces defined on spaces of homogeneous type are introduced by using weight functions in the Muckenhoupt class. Theorems on the boundedness of a large class of sublinear operators on these spaces are presented. The classes of sublinear operators under consideration contain a whole series of important operators of harmonic analysis, such as, e.g., maximal functions, singular and fractional integrals, Bochner–Riesz means, and so on.
