Additive Jordan isomorphisms of nest algebras on normed spaces

Let X be a real or complex Banach space. Let and be two nest algebras on X. Suppose that φ is an additive bijective mapping from onto such that φ(A²)=φ(A)² for every . Then φ is either a ring isomorphism or a ring anti-isomorphism. Moreover, if X is a real space or an infinite dimensional complex space, then there exists a continuous (conjugate) linear bijective mapping T such that either φ(A)=TAT⁻¹ for every or φ(A)=TA∗T−1 for every .     

A characterization of k-hyponormality via weak subnormality

An operator T acting on a Hilbert space is said to be weakly subnormal if there exists an extension acting on such that for all . When such partially normal extensions exist, we denote by m.p.n.e.(T) the minimal one. On the other hand, for k?1, T is said to be k-hyponormal if the operator matrix is positive. We prove that a 2-hyponormal operator T always satisfies the inequality T∗[T∗,T]T?‖T‖2[T∗,T], and as a result T is automatically weakly subnormal. Thus, a hyponormal operator T is 2-hyponormal if and only if there exists B such that BA∗=A∗T and is hyponormal, where A:=[T∗,T]1/2. More generally, we prove that T is (k+1)-hyponormal if and and only if T is weakly subnormal and m.p.n.e.(T) is k-hyponormal. As an application, we obtain a matricial representation of the minimal normal extension of a subnormal operator as a block staircase matrix.     

Generalized vector valued almost periodic and ergodic distributions

Schwartz's almost periodic distributions are generalized to the case of Banach space valued distributions , and furthermore for a given arbitrary class A to for φ∈ test functions D(R,C)}. It is shown that this extension process is iteration complete, i.e. . Moreover the T from are characterized in various ways, also tempered distributions with P={X-valued functions of polynomial growth} are shown. Under suitable assumptions , , where for all h>0}, is defined with the corresponding extension of Mh. With an extension of the indefinite integral from to D^′(R,X) a distribution analogue to the Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem on the almost periodicity of bounded indefinite integrals of almost periodic functions is obtained, also for almost automorphic, Levitan almost periodic and recurrent functions, similar for a result of Levitan concerning ergodic indefinite integrals. For many of the above results a new (Δ)-condition is needed, we show that it holds for most of the A needed in applications. Also an application to the study of asymptotic behavior of distribution solutions of neutral integro-differential-difference systems is given.     

Trace representation of weights on partial O-algebras

The purpose of this paper is to investigate when a weight ? on a partial O^∗-algebra is a trace weighted by a positive self-adjoint operator Ω, that is, whenever s.t. X†∈L(X) and ?(X†□X)<∞. It is shown that if contains the inverse N of a positive compact operator such that the weak multiplication N□N is defined, then every weight ? on satisfying ?(N□N)<∞ is a trace weighted by some positive trace operator.     

Multilinear maps on products of operator algebras

Let A₁,A₂,…,A_r be C∗-algebras with second duals A₁″,A₂″,…,A_r″, and let X be an arbitrary Banach space. Let be a bounded r-linear map, and denote by the Johnson-Kadison-Ringrose extension (i.e., the separately to continuous r-linear extension) of Γ. The problem of characterising those Γ for which Γ″ takes its values in X was solved by Villanueva when the algebras are all commutative. Because the Dunford-Pettis property fails for noncommutative C∗-algebras, the ‘obvious’ extension of Villanueva's characterisation does not give the correct condition. In this paper we solve this problem for general C∗-algebras. This result is then applied to obtaining a multilinear generalisation of the normal-singular decomposition of a bounded linear operator on a von Neumann algebra.     

A note on maximality of analytic crossed products

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .     

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

Convergence in mean of some random Fourier series

For a symmetric stable process X(t,ω) with index α∈(1,2], f∈Lp[0,2π], p?α, and , we establish that the random Fourier-Stieltjes (RFS) series converges in the mean to the stochastic integral , where fβ is the fractional integral of order β of the function f for . Further it is proved that the RFS series is Abel summable to . Also we define fractional derivative of the sum of order β for an, An(ω) as above and . We have shown that the formal fractional derivative of the series of order β exists in the sense of mean.     

Finite representability of operators

We introduce operator local supportability as a new type of operator finite representability that generalizes Bellenot finite representability. We prove that local supportability and local representability are mutually independent. New examples of both types of finite representability are given. For instance, for every operator T, we prove that is locally supportable in . We also prove that, given an operator T with range in , T∗ is locally representable in .     

On some geometric parameters in Banach spaces

Let X be a normed linear space and be the unit sphere of X. Let , , and J(X)=sup{‖x+y‖∧‖x−y‖}, x and y∈S(X) be the modulus of convexity, the modulus of smoothness, and the modulus of squareness of X, respectively. Let . In this paper we proved some sufficient conditions on δ(?), ρX(?), J(X), E(X), and , where the supremum is taken over all the weakly null sequence xn in X and all the elements x of X for the uniform normal structure.     

Reflexivity and hyperreflexivity of operator spaces

In this paper, we show that if is an n-dimensional subspace of L(V) such that every nonzero transformation of has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is algebraically reflexive. If is an n-dimensional subspace of B(H) such that every nonzero transformation of  has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is hyperreflexive. We also consider how to construct some new hyperreflexive subspaces.     

Removable singularities for a Sobolev space

Let Ω⊂RN be an open set and F a relatively closed subset of Ω. We show that if the (N−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of F is finite, then the spaces and coincide, that is, F is a removable singularity for . Here is the closure of in H¹(Ω) and H¹(Ω) denotes the first order Sobolev space. We also give a relative capacity criterium for this removability. The space is important for defining realizations of the Laplacian with Neumann and with Robin boundary conditions. For example, if the boundary of Ω has finite (N−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, then our results show that we may replace Ω by the better set (which is regular in topology), i.e., Neumann boundary conditions (respectively Robin boundary conditions) on Ω and on coincide.     

Weak and strong convergence theorems for finite families of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

Let E be a real uniformly convex Banach space whose dual space E^∗ satisfies the Kadec-Klee property, K be a closed convex nonempty subset of E. Let be asymptotically nonexpansive mappings of K into E with sequences (respectively) satisfying kin→1 as n→∞, i=1,2,…,m, and . For arbitrary ?∈(0,1), let be a sequence in [?,1−?], for each i∈{1,2,…,m} (respectively). Let {xn} be a sequence generated for m?2 by

     

Continuous dependence results for inhomogeneous ill-posed problems in Banach space

We apply semigroup theory and other operator-theoretic methods to prove Hölder-continuous dependence on modeling for the inhomogeneous ill-posed Cauchy problem in Banach space. The inhomogeneous ill-posed Cauchy problem is given by , u(0)=χ, 0?t<T; where −A is the infinitesimal generator of a holomorphic semigroup on a Banach space X, χ∈X, and . For a suitable function f, the approximate problem is given by , v(0)=χ. Under certain stabilizing conditions, we prove that for a related norm, where and M are computable constants independent of β, 0<β<1, and ω(t) is a harmonic function. These results extend earlier work of Ames and Hughes on the homogeneous ill-posed problem.     

On controlled extensions of functions

For any numerical function we give sufficient conditions for resolving the controlled extension problem for a closed subset A of a normal space X. Namely, if the functions , and satisfy the equality E(f(a),g(a))=h(a), for every a∈A, then we are interested to find the extensions f? and ? of f and g, respectively, such that , for every x∈X. We generalize earlier results concerning E(u,v)=u·v by using the techniques of selections of paraconvex-valued LSC mappings and soft single-valued mappings.     

On powers of the Heaviside function for negative integers

The distributions and were defined as the neutrix limit of the sequences and respectively for , see [J.D. Nicholos, B. Fisher, The distribution composition , J. Math. Anal. Appl. 258 (2001) 131-145; B. Fisher, On defining the distribution , Univ. u Novom Sadu Zb. Rad. Prirod. Mat. Fak. Ser. Mat. 15 (1985) 119-129]. We here consider these distributions when r=0. In other words, we define the sth powers of the Heaviside function H(x) in the distributional sense for negative integers. Further compositions are also considered.
