Potential space estimates in local Hardy spaces for Green potentials in convex domains

Let Ω be a bounded co.nvex domain in Rn(n≥3) and G(x,y) be the Green function of the Laplace operator -△ on Ω. Let hrp(Ω) = {f ∈ D'(Ω) :(E)F∈hp(Rn), s.t. F|Ω = f}, by the atom characterization of Local Hardy spaces in a bounded Lipschitz domain, the bound of f→(△)2(Gf) for every f ∈ hrp(Ω) is obtained, where n/(n 1)＜p≤1.     

Non-wandering points and the depth for graph maps

Let G be a graph and f:G→G be continuous.Denote by R(f) andΩ(f) the set of recurrent points and the set of non-wandering points of f respectively.LetΩ_0(f) = G andΩ_n(f)=Ω(f|_(Ω_(n-1)(f))) for all n∈N.The minimal m∈NU {∞} such thatΩ_m(f)=Ω_(m 1)(f) is called the depth of f.In this paper,we show thatΩ_2 (f)=(?) and the depth of f is at most 2.Furthermore,we obtain some properties of non-wandering points of f.     

On shape preserving extension and approximation of functions

We establish the concept of shapes of functions by using partial differential inequalites. Our definition about shapes includes some usual shapes such as convex, subharmonic, etc., and gives many new shapes of functions. The main results show that the shape preserving approximation has close relation to the shape preserving extension. One of our main results shows that if f∈C(Ω) has some shape defined by our definition, then f can be uniformly approximated by polynomials P_n ∈ ℙ_n (n∈ℕ) which have the same shape in Ω, and the degree of the approximation is Cω(f,n^−β) with constants C,β>0.     

On a singular integral on product spaces

We show that if K(x,y)=Ω(x,y)/|x|ⁿ|y|^m is a Calder n-Zygmund kerned on Rⁿ×R^m, where Ω∈L²(Sⁿ⁻¹×S^m−1) and b(x,y) is any bounded function which is radial with x∈Rⁿ and y∈R^m respectively, then b(x,y)K(x,y) is the kernel of a convolution operator which is bounded on L^p(Rⁿ×R^m) for 1<p<∞ and n≧2, m≧2.

Controllability in a filled domain for the multidimensional wave equation with a singular boundary control

In accordance with the demands of the so-called local approach to inverse problems, the set of “waves” u^f (·, T) is studied, where u^f (x,t) is the solution of the initial boundary-value problem u_tt−Δu=0 in Ω×(0,T), u|_t<0=0, u|_∂Ω×(0,T)=f, and the (singular) control f runs over the class L²((0,T); H^−m (∂Ω)) (m>0). The following result is established. Let Ω^T={x ∈ Ω : dist(x, ∂Ω)<T)} be a subdomain of Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ (diam Ω<∞) filled with waves by a final instant of time t=T, let T_*=inf{T : Ω^T=Ω} be the time of filling the whole domain Ω. We introduce the notation D_m=Dom((−Δ)^m/2), where (−Δ) is the Laplace operator, Dom(−Δ)=H²(Ω)∩H ₀ ¹ (Ω);D_−m=(D_m)′;D_−m(Ω^T)={y∈D_−m:supp y ⋐ Ω^T. If T<T., then the reachable set R _m ^T ={u^t(·, T): f ∈ L₂((0,T), H^−m (∂Ω))} (∀m>0), which is dense in D_−m(Ω^T), does not contain the class C ₀ ^∞ (Ω^T). Examples of a ∈ C ₀ ^∞ , a ∈ R _m ^T , are presented. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 210, 1994, pp. 7–21. Translated by T. N. Surkova.     

Weighted estimates for rough oscillatory singular integrals

Weighted L^p estimates (1<p<∞) are shown for oscillatory singular integral operators with polynomial phase and a rough kernel of the form e^iP(x,y)Ω(x−y)h(|x−y|)|x−y|⁻ⁿ. We assume that Ω∈L logL(Sⁿ⁻¹) is homogeneous of degree zero and ∫_Sn-1Ω=0. The radial factor h has bounded variation. The necessary condition on the weight is similar to the A_p condition but involves rectangles (instead of cubes) arising from a covering of a star-shaped set related to Ω.     

A problem on simultaneous approximation and a conjecture of Hasson

In 1980, M. Hasson raised a conjecture as follows: Let N≥1, then there exists a function f₀(x)∈C _[−1,1] ^2N , for N+1≤k≤2N, such that p _n ^(k) (f₀,1)→f ₀ ^(k) (1), n→∞, where p_n(f,x) is the algebraic polynomial of best approximation of degree ≤n to f(x). In this paper, a, positive answer to this conjecture is given.

On convergence of gradient-dependent integrands

We study convergence properties of {υ(∇u _k )}k∈ℕ if υ ∈ C(ℝ ^m×m ), |υ(s)| ⩽ C(1+|s| ^p ), 1 < p < + ∞, has a finite quasiconvex envelope, u _k → u weakly in W ^1,p (Ω; ℝ ^m ) and for some g ∈ C(Ω) it holds that ∫_Ω g(x)υ(∇u _k (x))dx → ∫_Ω g(x)Qυ(∇u(x))dx as k → ∞. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for L ¹-weak convergence of {det ∇u _k } _k∈ℕ to det ∇u if m = n = p. Dedicated to Jiří V.

Spline monotone approximation with linear differential operators

Let f∈C³[a,b] and L be a linear differential operator such that L(f)≥0. Then there exists a sequence Q_n, n≥1, of polynomial splines with equally spaced knots, such that Q^(r), approximates f^(r), 0≤r≤s, simultaneously in the uniform norm. This approximation is given through inequalities with rates, involving a measure of smoothness to f^(s); so that L (Q_n)≥0. The encountered cases are the continuous, periodic and discrete.     

Some remarks on the identity between a variational integral and its relaxed functional

Summary Letf: (x, z)∈R ⁿ×Rⁿ→f(x, z)∈[0, +∞] be measurable inx and convex inz.

Sobolev functions whose inner trace at the boundary is zero

Let Ω⊂R ⁿ be an arbitrary open set. In this paper it is shown that if a Sobolev functionf∈W ^1,p (Ω) possesses a zero trace (in the sense of Lebesgue points) on ϖΩ, thenf is weakly zero on ϖΩ in the sense thatf∈W ₀ ^1,p (Ω).     

Explosive solutions of elliptic equations with absorption and nonlinear gradient term

Letf be a non-decreasing C¹-function such that andF(t)/f ² a(t)→ 0 ast → ∞, whereF(t)=∫ ₀ ^t f(s) ds anda ∈ (0, 2]. We prove the existence of positive large solutions to the equationΔu +q(x)|Δu| ^a =p(x)f(u) in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂R^N, provided thatp, q are non-negative continuous functions so that any zero ofp is surrounded by a surface strictly included in Ω on whichp is positive. Under additional hypotheses onp we deduce the existence of solutions if Ω is unbounded.     

Applications of operator semigroups to Fourier analysis

Of concern are semigroups of linear norm one operators on Hilbert space of the form (discrete case)T={T ⁿ /n=0,1,2,...} or (continuous case)T={T(t)/t=≥0}. Using ergodic theory and Hilbert-Schmidt operators, the Cesàro limits (asn→∞) of |〈T ⁿ f,f〉|², |〈T (n)f,f〉|² are computed (withn∈ℤ⁺ orn∈ℤ⁺). Specializing the Hilbert space to beL ²(T,μ) (discrete case) orL ²(ℝ,μ) (continuous case) where μ is a Borel probability measure on the circle group or the line, the Cesàro limit of (asn→±∞, with,n∈ℤ orn∈ℝ) is obtained and interpreted. Extensions toT ^M , and ℝ ^M are given. Finally, we discuss recent operator theoretic extensions from a Hilbert to a Banach space context. Partially supported by an NSF grant     

On simultaneous approximation to a differentiable function and its derivative by inverse Pal-Type interpolation polynomials

Let ξ_{n −1} < ξ_{n −2} < ξ_{n − 2} < ... < ξ₁ be the zeros of the the (n−1)-th Legendre polynomial P_n−1(x) and −1=x_n<x_n−1<...<x₁=1, the zeros of the polynomial . By the theory of the inverse Pal-Type interpolation, for a function f(x)∈C _[−1,1] ¹ , there exists a unique polynomial R_n(x) of degree 2n−2 (if n is even) satisfying conditions R_n(f, ξ_k) = f (ε_k) (1 ⩽ k ⩽ n −1); R¹ _n(f,x_k)=f¹(x_k)(1≤k≤n). This paper discusses the simultaneous approximation to a differentiable function f by inverse Pal-Type interpolation polynomial {R_n(f, x)} (n is even) and the main result of this paper is that if f∈C _[1,1] ^r , r≥2, n≥r+2, and n is even then |R¹ _n(f,x)−f¹(x)|=0(1)|W_n(x)|h(x)·n^3−r·E_2n−r−3(f^(r)) holds uniformly for all x∈[−1,1], where .     

Representation of measurable functions by series in Walsh subsystems

For any sequence {ω(n)} _n∈ℕ tending to infinity we construct a “quasiquadratic” representation spectrum Λ = {n ² + o(ω(n))} _n∈ℕ: for any almost everywhere (a. e.) finite measurable function f(x) there exists a series in the form $ \mathop \sum \limits_{k \in \Lambda } $ \mathop \sum \limits_{k \in \Lambda } α _k ω _k (x) that converges a. e. to this function, where {w _k (x)} _k∈ℕ is the Walsh system. We find representation spectra in the form {n ^l + o(n ^l )} _n∈ℕ, where l ∈ {2 ^k } _k∈ℕ.     

On the stability of the quadratic functional equation on bounded domains

A result of Skof and Terracini will be generalized; More precisely, we will prove that if a functionf : [-t, t]ⁿ →E satisfies the inequality (1) for some δ > 0 and for allx, y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ withx + y, x - y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ, then there exists a quadratic functionq: ℝⁿ →E such that ∥f(x) -q(x)∥ < (2912n² + 1872n + 334)δ for anyx ∈ [-t, t] ⁿ .     

Convergence of the median filterings of sequences

Suppose thatx=|x(n)|_n∈ℤ is a sequence of real numbers. For eachp∈ℕ,x ^p =|x ^p (n)|_n∈ℤis the resulting sequence ofx throughp times median filterings with window 2k+1. It is proved that whenp→∞, bothx ^(2p) andx(² p}-1) are convergent. Thus the problem of convergence of the median filters of infinite-length sequences is completely solved.

On the iteration of holomorphic self-maps of ℂ*

Letf be a holomorphic self-map of the punctured plane ℂ^*=ℂ\{0} with essentially singular points 0 and ∞. In this note, we discuss the setsI ₀(f)={z ∈ ℂ^*:f ⁿ (z) → 0,n → ∞} andI _∞(f)={z ∈ ℂ^*:f ⁿ (z) → 0,n → ∞}. We try to find the relation betweenI ₀(f),I _∞(t) andJ(f). It is proved that both the boundary ofI ₀(f) and the boundary ofI _∞)f) equal toJ(f),I ₀(f) ∩J(f) ≠ θ andI _∞(f) ∩J(f) ≠ θ. As a consequence of these results, we find bothI ₀(f) andI _∞(f) are not doubly-bounded. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

On the almost monotone convergence of sequences of continuous functions

A sequence (f _n ) _n of functions f _n : X → ℝ almost decreases (increases) to a function f: X → ℝ if it pointwise converges to f and for each point x ∈ X there is a positive integer n(x) such that f _n+1(x) ≤ f _n (x) (f _n+1(x) ≥ f _n (x)) for n ≥ n(x). In this article I investigate this convergence in some families of continuous functions.
