Weak barrelledness for C(X) spaces

Buchwalter and Schmets reconciled C_c(X) and C_p(X) spaces with most of the weak barrelledness conditions of 1973, but could not determine if -barrelled ⇔ ?^∞-barrelled for C_c(X). The areas grew apart. Full reconciliation with the fourteen conditions adopted by Saxon and Sánchez Ruiz needs their 1997 characterization of Ruess' property (L), which allows us to reduce the C_c(X) problem to its 1973 status and solve it by carefully translating the topology of Kunen (1980) and van Mill (1982) to find the example that eluded Buchwalter and Schmets. The more tractable C_p(X) readily partitions the conditions into just two equivalence classes, the same as for metrizable locally convex spaces, instead of the five required for C_c(X) spaces. Our paper elicits others, soon to appear, that analytically characterize when the Tychonov space X is pseudocompact, or Warner bounded, or when C_c(X) is a df-space (Jarchow's 1981 question).     

Explicit characterizations of orthogonality in lS(C)

In a previous paper, the author used a notion of orthogonality introduced in another article to establish characterizations for orthogonality in the spaces l_S^p(C), 1?p<∞, thus obtaining generalizations of the usual characterization of orthogonality in the Hilbert spaces l_S²(C), via inner products. In this paper we make explicit these characterizations for some of the spaces l_S^p(C). We finish by presenting some remarks and open problems.     

Exponential stability for a nonlinear one-dimensional heat-conductive viscous real gas

In this paper, we prove the existence and the exponential stability in H₊ⁱ (i=1,2), an incomplete metric subspace of Hⁱ×Hⁱ×Hⁱ (i=1,2), of a nonlinear C₀-semigroup S(t) for a nonlinear one-dimensional heat-conductive viscous real gas in bounded domain Ω=(0,1). The results in this paper improve those previously related results.     

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.     

Fixed point theory and product,sub-, super-spaces

In this paper, we definen-segmentwise metric spaces and then we prove the following results:

1. (i)|Let (X, d) be ann-segmentwise metric space. ThenX ⁿ has the fixed point property with respect to uniformly continuous bounded functions if and only if, for any continuous functionF: C ^*(X) → C^*(X) and for anyn-tuple of distinct points x₁, x₂, ?, x_n ∈X, there exists anh ∈C ^*(X) such that $$F(h)(x_1 ) = h(x_1 ),i = 1,2,...,n;$$ whereC ^*(X) has either the uniform topology or the subspace product (Tychonoff) topology \((C^ * (X) \subseteq X^X )\) .
2. LetX _i (i = 1, 2, ?) be countably compact Hausdorff spaces such thatX ₁ × ? × X_n has the fixed point property for alln ∈N Then the product spaceX ₁ × X₂ × ? has the fixed point property. We shall also discuss several problems in the Fixed Point Theory and give examples if necessary. Among these examples, we have:
3. There exists a connected metric spaceX which can be decomposed as a disjoint union of a closed setA and an open setB such thatA andB have the fixed point property andX does not have.
4. There exists a locally compact metrizable spaceX which has the fixed point property but its one-point compactificationX ⁺ does not have the fixed point property.

Other relevant results and examples will be presented in this paper.     

Approximation by light maps and parametric Lelek maps

The class of metrizable spaces M with the following approximation property is introduced and investigated: M∈AP(n,0) if for every ε>0 and a map g:In→M there exists a 0-dimensional map g^′:In→M which is ε-homotopic to g. It is shown that this class has very nice properties. For example, if Mi∈AP(ni,0), i=1,2, then M₁×M₂∈AP(n₁+n₂,0). Moreover, M∈AP(n,0) if and only if each point of M has a local base of neighborhoods U with U∈AP(n,0). Using the properties of AP(n,0)-spaces, we generalize some results of Levin and Kato-Matsuhashi concerning the existence of residual sets of n-dimensional Lelek maps.     

Isomorphisms between unital C-algebras

It is shown that every almost linear bijection of a unital C^∗-algebra A onto a unital C^∗-algebra B is a C^∗-algebra isomorphism when h(n²uy)=h(n²u)h(y) for all unitaries u∈A, all y∈A, and n=0,1,2,…, and that almost linear continuous bijection of a unital C^∗-algebra A of real rank zero onto a unital C^∗-algebra B is a C^∗-algebra isomorphism when h(n²uy)=h(n²u)h(y) for all , all y∈A, and n=0,1,2,…. Assume that X and Y are left normed modules over a unital C^∗-algebra A. It is shown that every surjective isometry , satisfying T(0)=0 and T(ux)=uT(x) for all x∈X and all unitaries u∈A, is an A-linear isomorphism. This is applied to investigate C^∗-algebra isomorphisms between unital C^∗-algebras.     

Equimodular and linearity in modular spaces

In this paper, the concept of equimodular is introduced. It contains several generalizations of Mazur-Ulam's isometric theorem in modular spaces. Let X and Y be two real modular spaces and X with δ₁-midpoint shrinking whose modular ρ_X satisfies the Δ₂-condition. Assume that an operator T maps X onto Y in an δ₂-{t_i}-equimodular manner for all , where {t_i} is a null-sequence of nonnegative reals with the property that t₀=1, t₁?1/2, and t_i?t_i−1?2t_i for i?2. Then T is affine.     

On C classifications of hyperbolic vector fields

In this paper we study smooth classification of hyperbolic vector fields based on their linear approximations only and obtain the following. On Rⁿ, n?5, with only two kinds of exceptions, any two hyperbolic vector fields with generic nonlinear parts and where A_i are n×n matrices, are C¹ conjugate to each other if and only if A₁ and A₂ are strictly similar, and they are C¹ orbitally equivalent if and only if A₁ and A₂ are similar.     

Polynomial numerical indices of Banach spaces with absolute norm

We study when a Banach space with absolute norm may have polynomial numerical indices equal to one. In the real case, we show that a Banach space X with absolute norm, which has the Radon-Nikodým property or is Asplund, satisfies n⁽²⁾(X)<1 unless it is one-dimensional. In the complex case, we show that the only Banach spaces X with absolute norm and the Radon-Nikodým property which satisfy n⁽²⁾(X)=1 are the spaces . Also, the only Asplund complex space X with absolute norm which satisfies n⁽²⁾(X)=1 is c₀(Λ).     

Embeddings and frames of function spaces

For every Tychonoff space X we denote by Cp(X) the set of all continuous real-valued functions on X with the pointwise convergence topology, i.e., the topology of subspace of RX. A set P is a frame for the space Cp(X) if Cp(X)⊂P⊂RX. We prove that if Cp(X) embeds in a σ-compact space of countable tightness then X is countable. This shows that it is natural to study when Cp(X) has a frame of countable tightness with some compactness-like property. We prove, among other things, that if X is compact and the space Cp(X) has a Lindelöf frame of countable tightness then t(X)?ω. We give some generalizations of this result for the case of frames as well as for embeddings of Cp(X) in arbitrary spaces.     

On the Equi-nuclearity of Roe Algebras of Metric Spaces

The authors define the equi-nuclearity of uniform Roe algebras of a family of metric spaces. For a discrete metric space X with bounded geometry which is covered by a family of subspaces {Xi}∞i=1, if {Cu*(Xi)}∞i=1 are equi-nuclear and under some proper gluing conditions, it is proved that Cu*(X) is nuclear. Furthermore, it is claimed that in general, the coarse Roe algebra C*(X) is not nuclear.     

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator

Let f(z) be a normalized convex (starlike) function on the unit disc D. Let , where z=(z₁,z₂,…,z_n), z₁∈D, , p_i?1, i=2,…,n, are real numbers. In this note, we prove that Φ(f)(z)=(f(z₁),f′(z₁)^1/p₂z₂,…,f′(z₁)^1/p_nz_n) is a normalized convex (starlike) mapping on Ω, where we choose the power function such that (f′(z₁))^1/p_i|_z1=0=1, i=2,…,n. Some other related results are proved.     

Counting cycles and finite dimensional L norms

We obtain sharp bounds for the number of n-cycles in a finite graph as a function of the number of edges, and prove that the complete graph is optimal in more ways than could be imagined. We prove sharp estimates on both ∑_i=1ⁿx_i^k and ∑_i=1ⁿ|x_i|^k, subject to the constraints that ∑_i=1ⁿx_i²=C and ∑_i=1ⁿx_i=0.     

Generalized difference sequence spaces and their dual spaces

The definition of the pα-, pβ- and pγ-duals of a sequence space was defined by Et [Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 24 (2000) 785-791]. In this paper we compute pα- and N-duals of the sequence spaces Δ^m_v(X) for X=?_∞, c and c₀, and compute β- and γ-duals of the sequence spaces Δ^m_v(X) for X=?_∞, c and c₀.     

Classifying Hilbert bundles. II

A Hilbert bundle (p, B, X) is a type of fibre space p: B → X such that each fibre p^?1(x) is a Hilbert space. However, p^?1(x) may vary in dimension as x varies in X, even when X is connected. We give two “homotopy” type classification theorems for Hilbert bundles having primarily finite dimensional fibres. An (m, n)-bundle over the pair (X, A) is a Hilbert bundle over (p, B, X) such that the dimension of p^?1(x) is m for x in A and n otherwise. As a special case, we show that if X is a compact metric space, C₊X the upper cone of the suspension SX, then the isomorphism classes of (m, n)-bundles over (SX, C₊X) are in one-to-one correspondence with the members of [X, V_m($\text{C}$ⁿ)] where V_m($\text{C}$ⁿ) is the Stiefel manifold. The results are all applicable to the classification of separable, continuous trace C¹-algebras, with specific results given to illustrate.     

New iterations with errors for approximating common fixed points for two generalized asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive nonself-mappings

Let X be a real uniformly convex Banach space and C a nonempty closed convex nonexpansive retract of X with P as a nonexpansive retraction. Let T ₁, T ₂: C → X be two uniformly L-Lipschitzian, generalized asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive non-self-mappings of C satisfying condition A′ with sequences {k _n ⁽ⁱ⁾ } and {δ _n ⁽ⁱ⁾ } ? [1, ∞),, i = 1, 2, respectively such that Σ _n=1 ^∞ (k _n ⁽ⁱ⁾ ? 1) < ∞, Σ _n=1 ⁽ⁱ⁾ δ _n ⁽ⁱ⁾ < ∞, and F = F(T ₁) ∩ F(T ₂) ≠ ?. For an arbitrary x ₁ ∈ C, let {x _n } be the sequence in C defined by $$ \begin{gathered} y_n = P\left( {\left( {1 - \beta _n - \gamma _n } \right)x_n + \beta _n T_2 \left( {PT_2 } \right)^{n - 1} x_n + \gamma _n v_n } \right), \hfill \\ x_{n + 1} = P\left( {\left( {1 - \alpha _n - \lambda _n } \right)y_n + \alpha _n T_1 \left( {PT_1 } \right)^{n - 1} x_n + \lambda _n u_n } \right), n \geqslant 1, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where {α _n }, {β _n }, {γ _n } and {λ _n } are appropriate real sequences in [0, 1) such that Σ _n=1 ^∞ ] γ _n < ∞, Σ _n=1 ^∞ λ _n < ∞, and {u _n }, }v _n } are bounded sequences in C. Then {x _n } and {y _n } converge strongly to a common fixed point of T ₁ and T ₂ under suitable conditions.     

A note about proving non-Γ under a finite non-microstates free Fisher information assumption

We prove that if X₁,…,Xn (n>1) are self-adjoints in a W^∗-probability space with finite non-microstates free Fisher information, then the von Neumann algebra W^∗(X₁,…,Xn) they generate doesn't have property Γ (especially is not amenable). This is an analog of a well-known result of Voiculescu for microstates free entropy. We also prove factoriality under finite non-microstates entropy.     

General theorems on rates of convergence in distribution of random variables I. General limit theorems

Let (X_n)_n?$\text{N}$ be a sequence of real, independent, not necessarily identically distributed random variables (r.v.) with distribution functions F_Xn, and S_n = Σ_i=1ⁿX_i. The authors present limit theorems together with convergence rates for the normalized sums ?(n)S_n, where ?: $\text{N}$ → $\text{R}$⁺, ?(n) → 0, n → ∞, towards appropriate limiting r.v. X, the convergence being taken in the weak (star) sense. Thus higher order estimates are given for the expression ∝_$\text{R}$f(x) d[F_?(n)Sn(x) ? F_X(x)] which depend upon the normalizing function ?, decomposability properties of X and smoothness properties of the function f under consideration. The general theorems of this unified approach subsume O- and o-higher order error estimates based upon assumptions on associated moments. These results are also extended to multi-dimensional random vectors.     

Little Grothendieck's theorem for sublinear operators

Let SB(X,Y) be the set of the bounded sublinear operators from a Banach space X into a Banach lattice Y. Consider π₂(X,Y) the set of 2-summing sublinear operators. We study in this paper a variation of Grothendieck's theorem in the sublinear operators case. We prove under some conditions that every operator in SB(C(K),H) is in π₂(C(K),H) for any compact K and any Hilbert H. In the noncommutative case the problem is still open.
