The maximal (C, α, β) operator of two-parameter walsh-fourier series

The two-parameter dyadic martingale Hardy spacesH _p are introduced and it is proved that the maximal operator of the (C, α, β) means of a two-dimensional Walsh-Fourier series is bounded from H_p to L_p (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p<∞) and is of weak type (H ₁ ^# , L₁), where the Hardy space H ₁ ^# is defined by the hybrid maximal function. As a consequence, we obtain that the (C, α, β) means of a function f∈H ₁ ^# converge a.e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the (C, α, β) means are uniformly bounded on H_p whenever 1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p<∞. Thus in case f∈H_p, the (C, α, β) means converge to f in H_p norm. The same results are proved for the conjugate (C, α, β) means, too.     

Hardy and BMO spaces associated to divergence form elliptic operators

Consider a second order divergence form elliptic operator L with complex bounded measurable coefficients. In general, operators based on L, such as the Riesz transform or square function, may lie beyond the scope of the Calderón–Zygmund theory. They need not be bounded in the classical Hardy, BMO and even some L ^p spaces. In this work we develop a theory of Hardy and BMO spaces associated to L, which includes, in particular, a molecular decomposition, maximal and square function characterizations, duality of Hardy and BMO spaces, and a John–Nirenberg inequality.

The maximal (C,α,β) operator on Hp(T×T)

The two-dimensional classical Hardy space H_p(T×T) on the bidisc are introduced, and it is shown that the maximal operator of the (C,α,β) means of a distribution is bounded from the space H_p(T×T) to L_p(T²) (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p≤∞), and is of weak type (H ₁ ^# (T×T), L₁(T²)), where the Hardy space H ₁ ^# (T×T) is defined by the hybrid maximal function. As a consequence we obtain that the (C, α, β) means of a function f∈H ₁ ^# (T×T)⊃LlogL(T ²) convergs a. e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the (C, α, β) means are uniformly bounded on the spaces H_p(T×T) whenever 1/(α+1), 1(β+1)<p<∞. Thus, in case f∈H_p(T×T), the (C, α, β) means convergs to f in H_p(T×T) norm whenever (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p<∞). The same results are proved for the conjugate (C, α, β) means, too. This research was made while the author was visiting the Humboldt University in Berlin supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Fractional Integral Operators on Anisotropic Hardy Spaces

In this paper, we introduce the fractional integral operator T of degree α of order m with respect to a dilation A for 0 < α < 1 and . First we establish the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities for T on anisotropic Hardy spaces associated with dilation A, which show that T is bounded from H ^p to H ^q , or from H ^p to L ^q , where 0 < p ≤ 1/(1 + α) and 1/q = 1/p − α. Then we give anisotropic Hardy spaces estimates for a class of multilinear operators formed by fractional integrals or Calderón-Zygmund singular integrals. Finally, we apply the above results to give the boundedness of the commutators of T and a BMO function.

On the maximal operator of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>, α)-means of Walsh–Kaczmarz–Fourier series

Simon [J. Approxim. Theory, 127, 39–60 (2004)] proved that the maximal operator σ^α,κ,* of the (C, α)-means of the Walsh–Kaczmarz–Fourier series is bounded from the martingale Hardy space H _p to the space L _p for p > 1 / (1 + α), 0 < α ≤ 1. Recently, Gát and Goginava have proved that this boundedness result does not hold if p ≤ 1 / (1 + α). However, in the endpoint case p = 1 / (1 + α ), the maximal operator σ^α,κ,* is bounded from the martingale Hardy space H _1/(1+α) to the space weak- L _1/(1+α). The main aim of this paper is to prove a stronger result, namely, that, for any 0 < p ≤ 1 / (1 + α), there exists a martingale f ∈ H _p such that the maximal operator σ^α,κ,* f does not belong to the space L _p .     

On the existence of principal values for the cauchy integral on weighted lebesgue spaces for non-doubling measures

Let T be a Calderón-Zygmund operator in a “non-homogeneous” space ( , d, μ), where, in particular, the measure μ may be non-doubling. Much of the classical theory of singular integrals has been recently extended to this context by F. Nazarov, S. Treil, and A. Volberg and, independently by X. Tolsa. In the present work we study some weighted inequalities for T_*, which is the supremum of the truncated operators associated with T. Specifically, for1<p<∞, we obtain sufficient conditions for the weight in one side, which guarantee that another weight exists in the other side, so that the corresponding L^p weighted inequality holds for T_*. The main tool to deal with this problem is the theory of vector-valued inequalities for T_* and some related operators. We discuss it first by showing how these operators are connected to the general theory of vector-valued Calderón-Zygmund operators in non-homogeneous spaces, developed in our previous paper [6]. For the Cauchy integral operator C, which is the main example, we apply the two-weight inequalities for C_* to characterize the existence of principal values for functions in weighted L^p.     

Equivalent Characterizations for Boundedness of Maximal Singular Integrals on ax+b-Groups

Let (S,d,ρ) be the affine group ℝ ⁿ ⋉ℝ⁺ endowed with the left-invariant Riemannian metric d and the right Haar measure ρ, which is of exponential growth at infinity. In this paper, for any linear operator T on (S,d,ρ) associated with a kernel K satisfying certain integral size condition and H?rmander’s condition, the authors prove that the following four statements regarding the corresponding maximal singular integral T ^∗ are equivalent: T ^∗ is bounded from L_c^￥L_{c}^{\infty} to BMO, T ^∗ is bounded on L ^p for all p∈(1,∞), T ^∗ is bounded on L ^p for some p∈(1,∞) and T ^∗ is bounded from L ¹ to L ^1,∞. As applications of these results, for spectral multipliers of a distinguished Laplacian on (S,d,ρ) satisfying certain Mihlin-H?rmander type condition, the authors obtain that their maximal singular integrals are bounded from L_c^￥L_{c}^{\infty} to BMO, from L ¹ to L ^1,∞, and on L ^p for all p∈(1,∞).

We show that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and a class of Calderón-Zygmund singular integrals satisfy the strong type modular inequality in variable L^p spaces if and only if the variable exponent p(x) ∼ const. Received: 15 September 2004     

Riemann summability of multi-dimensional trigonometric-fourier series

The d-dimensional classical Hardy spaces H_p(T ^d) are introduced and it is shown that the maximal operator of the Riemann sums of a distribution is bounded from H_p(T ^d) to L_p(T ²) (d/(d+1)<p≤∞) and is of weak type (1,1) provided that the supremum in the maximal operator is taken over a positive cone. The same is proved for the conjugate Riemann sums. As a consequence we obtain that every function f∈L₁(T ^d) is a. e. Riemann summable to f, provided again that the limit is taken over a positive cone. This research was partly supported by the Hungarian Scientific Research Funds (OTKA) No F019633.     

On the Cesaro Summability with Respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz System

The Walsh system will be considered in the Kaczmarz rearrangement. We show that the maximal operator σ* of the (C,1)-means of the Walsh–Kaczmarz–Fourier series is bounded from the dyadic Hardy space H^p into L^p for every 1/2<p1. From this it follows by standard arguments that σ* is of weak type (1, 1) and bounded from L^q into L^q if 1<q∞.     

Restricted summability of Fourier transforms and local Hardy spaces

A general summability method, the so-called θ-summability is considered for multi-dimensional Fourier transforms. Under some conditions on θ, it is proved that the maximal operator of the θ-means defined in a cone is bounded from the amalgam Hardy space W（hp, e∞） to W（Lp,e∞）. This implies the almost everywhere convergence of the θ-means in a cone for all f ∈ W（L1, e∞） velong to L1.

Weak Morrey spaces and strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We consider the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations in weak Morrey spaces. We first define a class of weak Morrey type spaces Mp*,λ(Rn) on the basis of Lorentz space Lp,∞ = Lp*(Rn)(in particular, Mp*,0(Rn) = Lp,∞, if p ＞ 1), and study some fundamental properties of them; Second,bounded linear operators on weak Morrey spaces, and establish the bilinear estimate in weak Morrey spaces. Finally, by means of Kato's method and the contraction mapping principle, we prove that the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations in weak Morrey spaces Mp*,λ(Rn) (1＜p≤n) is time-global well-posed, provided that the initial data are sufficiently small. Moreover, we also obtain the existence and uniqueness of the self-similar solution for Navier-Stokes equations in these spaces, because the weak Morrey space Mp*,n-p(Rn) can admit the singular initial data with a self-similar structure. Hence this paper generalizes Kato's results.     

Norm Estimate of the Cauchy Transform on L P (Ω)

We give two sided estimates of the norm of Cauchy transform on L^p(Ω)(1 ≤ p < ∞) in the case when Ω is the unit disc or the bounded simply connected domain with piecewise C¹ boundary. As a consequence we get the better constant in Poincare inequality. Also, we conjecture the exact value norm of Cauchy transform on L^p(D), where D is the unit disc.     

Differentiability of convolutions, integrated semigroups of bounded semi-variation, and the inhomogeneous Cauchy problem

If T = {T (t); t ≥ 0} is a strongly continuous family of bounded linear operators between two Banach spaces X and Y and f ∈ L ¹(0, b, X), the convolution of T with f is defined by . It is shown that T * f is continuously differentiable for all f ∈ C(0, b, X) if and only if T is of bounded semi-variation on [0, b]. Further T * f is continuously differentiable for all f ∈ L ^p (0, b, X) (1 ≤ p < ∞) if and only if T is of bounded semi-p-variation on [0, b] and T(0) = 0. If T is an integrated semigroup with generator A, these respective conditions are necessary and sufficient for the Cauchy problem u′ = Au + f, u(0) = 0, to have integral (or mild) solutions for all f in the respective function vector spaces. A converse is proved to a well-known result by Da Prato and Sinestrari: the generator A of an integrated semigroup is a Hille-Yosida operator if, for some b > 0, the Cauchy problem has integral solutions for all f ∈ L ¹(0, b, X). Integrated semigroups of bounded semi-p-variation are preserved under bounded additive perturbations of their generators and under commutative sums of generators if one of them generates a C ₀-semigroup.

Subspaces and Orthogonal Decompositions Generated by Bounded Orthogonal Systems

We investigate properties of subspaces of L₂ spanned by subsets of a finite orthonormal system bounded in the L_∞ norm. We first prove that there exists an arbitrarily large subset of this orthonormal system on which the L₁ and the L₂ norms are close, up to a logarithmic factor. Considering for example the Walsh system, we deduce the existence of two orthogonal subspaces of L₂ⁿ, complementary to each other and each of dimension roughly n/2, spanned by ± 1 vectors (i.e. Kashin’s splitting) and in logarithmic distance to the Euclidean space. The same method applies for p > 2, and, in connection with the Λ_p problem (solved by Bourgain), we study large subsets of this orthonormal system on which the L₂ and the L_p norms are close (again, up to a logarithmic factor).

Uniqueness of weak solutions of time-dependent 3-D Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity

We prove the uniqueness of weak solutions of the time-dependent 3-D Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity with (Ψ ₀, A ₀) ∈ L ²(Ω) initial data under the hypothesis that (Ψ, A) ∈ C([0, T]; L ³(Ω)) using the Lorentz gauge.      

The spectral radius of matrix continuous refinement operators

A simple analytic formula for the spectral radius of matrix continuous refinement operators is established. On the space L₂^m(\mathbb R^s)L_2^m({{\mathbb R}}^s), m ≥ 1 and s ≥ 1, their spectral radius is equal to the maximal eigenvalue in magnitude of a number matrix, obtained from the dilation matrix M and the matrix function c defining the corresponding refinement operator. A similar representation is valid for the continuous refinement operators considered on spaces L _p for p ∈ [1, ∞ ), p ≠ 2. However, additional restrictions on the kernel c are imposed in this case.     

Kolmogorov Entropy for Classes of Convex Functions

Kolmogorov ε-entropy of a compact set in a metric space measures its metric massivity and thus replaces its dimension which is usually infinite. The notion quantifies the compactness property of sets in metric spaces, and it is widely applied in pure and applied mathematics. The ε-entropy of a compact set is the most economic quantity of information that permits a recovery of elements of this set with accuracy ε. In the present article we study the problem of asymptotic behavior of the ε-entropy for uniformly bounded classes of convex functions in L _p -metric proposed by A.I.   Shnirelman. The asymptotic of the Kolmogorov ε-entropy for the compact metric space of convex and uniformly bounded functions equipped with L _p -metric is ε ^−1/2, ε→0₊.
