On the best constants in the Khintchine inequality for Steinhaus variables

Let S _j : (Ω, P) → S ¹ ? ? be an i.i.d. sequence of Steinhaus random variables, i.e. variables which are uniformly distributed on the circle S ¹. We determine the best constants a _p in the Khintchine-type inequality $${a_p}{\left\| x \right\|_2} \leqslant {\left( {{\text{E}}{{\left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|}^p}} \right)^{1/p}} \leqslant {\left\| x \right\|_2};{\text{ }}x = ({x_j})_{j = 1}^n \in {{\Bbb C}^n}$$ for 0 < p < 1, verifying a conjecture of U. Haagerup that $${a_p} = \min \left( {\Gamma {{\left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)}^{1/p}},\sqrt 2 {{\left( {{{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Gamma \left( {\frac{{p + 1}}{2}} \right)} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left[ {\Gamma \left( {\frac{p}{2} + 1} \right)\sqrt \pi } \right]}}} \right)}^{1/p}}} \right)$$ . Both expressions are equal for p = p ₀ }~ 0.4756. For p ≥ 1 the best constants a _p have been known for some time. The result implies for a norm 1 sequence x ∈ ? ⁿ , ‖x‖₂ = 1, that $${\text{E}}\ln \left| {\frac{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right| \leqslant {\text{E}}\ln \left| {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {{x_j}{S_j}} } \right|$$ , answering a question of A. Baernstein and R. Culverhouse.     

Global integrability for minimizers of anisotropic functionals

We consider integral functionals in which the density has growth p _i with respect to ${\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i}}$ , like in $$\int\limits_{\Omega}\left( \left| \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_1}(x) \right|^{p_1} + \left|\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_2}(x)\right|^{p_2} + \cdots + \left|\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_n}(x) \right|^{p_n} \right) dx.$$ We show that higher integrability of the boundary datum forces minimizer to be more integrable.     

Sharp weak-type inequalities for Hilbert transform and Riesz projection

The paper is devoted to the study of the weak norms of the classical operators in the vector-valued setting.

1. Let S, H denote the singular integral involution operator and the Hilbert transform on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {\mathcal{S}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p,$$ $$\left\| {\mathcal{H}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p.$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
2. Let P ₊ and P _? stand for the Riesz projection and the co-analytic projection on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {P + f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p ,$$ $$\left\| {P - f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p .$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
3. We establish the sharp versions of the estimates above in the nonperiodic case.

The results are new even if the operators act on complex-valued functions. The proof rests on the construction of an appropriate plurisubharmonic function and probabilistic techniques.

Some properties of elliptic Riesz means at critical index on Hp(TH)

Suppose f∈H^p(Tⁿ), 0 _r ^δ , δ=n/p?(n+1)/2. In this paper we eastablish the following inequality $$\mathop {\sup }\limits_{R > 1} \left\{ {\frac{1}{{\log R}}\int_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta } \right\|_{H^p (T^R )}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqslant C_{R,p} \left\| f \right\|_{H^p (T^R )} $$ It implies that $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{R \to \infty } \frac{1}{{\log R}}\int_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta - f} \right\|_{H^p (T^R )}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} = 0$$ Moreover we obtain the same conclusion when p=1 and n=1.     

On the Non-Commutative Neutrix Product of the Distributions x＋^λ and x^＋μ

Let E^s=[0, 1]^s be then-dimensional unit cube, 1<p<∞, anda=(a ₁, ...,a _s ) some set of natural numbers. Denote byL _p ^(a) , (E ^s ) the class of functionsf: E ^s → C for which $$\left\| {\frac{{\partial ^{b_1 + \cdots + b_s } f}}{{\partial x_1^{b_1 } \cdots \partial x_s^{b_s } }}} \right\|_p \leqslant 1,$$ where $$0< b_1< a_1 , ..., 0< b_s< a_s .$$ Set $$R_p^{\left( a \right)} \left( N \right) = \mathop {\inf }\limits_{card \mathfrak{S} = N} R_\mathfrak{S} \left( {L_p^{\left( a \right)} \left( {E^s } \right)} \right),$$ where $R_\mathfrak{S} \left( {L_p^{\left( a \right)} \left( {E^s } \right)} \right)$ is the error of the quadrature formulas on the mesh $\mathfrak{S}$ (for the classL _p ^(a) (E ^s )), consisting of N nodes and weights, and the infimum is taken with respect to all possibleN nodes and weights. In this paper, the two-sided estimate $$\frac{{\left( {\log N} \right)^{{{\left( {l - 1} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {l - 1} \right)} 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}{{N^d }} \ll _{p, a} R^{\left( a \right)} \left( N \right) \ll _{p, a} \frac{{\left( {\log N} \right)^{{{\left( {l - 1} \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {l - 1} \right)} 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}{{N^d }}$$ is proved for every natural numberN > 1, whered=min{a ₁, ...,a _s }, whilel is the number of those components of a which coincide withd. An analogous result is proved for theL _p -norm of the deviation of meshes.     

Strong approximation of Riesz means at critical index on Hp(T) (0<p≤1)

This paper is a continuation of [3]. Suppose f∈H^p(T), 0σ _r ^σ f,σ=1/p?1. When p=1, it is just the partial Fourier sums S_kf. In this paper we establish the sharp estimations on the degree of approximation: $$\left\{ { - \frac{1}{{logR}}\int\limits_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta f - f} \right\|_{H^p (T)}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqq C{\mathbf{ }}{}_p\omega \left( {f,{\mathbf{ }}( - \frac{1}{{logR}})^{1/p} } \right)_{H^p (T)} ,0< p< 1,$$ and \(\frac{1}{{\log L}}\sum\limits_{k - 1}^L {\frac{{\left\| {S_k f - f} \right\|_H 1_{(T)} }}{k} \leqq Cp\omega (f; - \frac{1}{{\log L}})_H 1_{(T)} } \) Where $$\omega (f,{\mathbf{ }}h)_{H^p (T)} \begin{array}{*{20}c} { = Sup} \\ {0 \leqq \left| u \right| \leqq h} \\ \end{array} \left\| {f( \cdot + u) - f( \cdot )} \right\|_{H^p (T).} $$ .     

Existence of solutions for the critical elliptic system with inverse square potentials

Let Ω ? 0 be an open bounded domain in R ^N (N ≥ 3) and $2^* (s) = \tfrac{{2(N - s)}} {{N - 2}}$ , 0 < s < 2. We consider the following elliptic system of two equations in H ₀ ¹ (Ω) × H ₀ ¹ (Ω): $$- \Delta u - t\frac{u} {{\left| x \right|^2 }} = \frac{{2\alpha }} {{\alpha + \beta }}\frac{{\left| u \right|^{\alpha - 2} u\left| v \right|^\beta }} {{\left| x \right|^s }} + \lambda u, - \Delta v - t\frac{v} {{\left| x \right|^2 }} = \frac{{2\beta }} {{\alpha + \beta }}\frac{{\left| u \right|^\alpha \left| v \right|^{\beta - 2} v}} {{\left| x \right|^s }} + \mu v,$$ where λ, µ > 0 and α, β > 1 satisfy α + β = 2*(s). Using the Moser iteration, we prove the asymptotic behavior of solutions at the origin. In addition, by exploiting the Mountain-Pass theorem, we establish the existence of solutions.

Pointwise estimates for Lagrange interpolation polynomials

Let f ∈ C[?1, 1]. Let the approximation rate of Lagrange interpolation polynomial of f based on the nodes $ \left\{ {\cos \frac{{2k - 1}} {{2n}}\pi } \right\} \cup \{ - 1,1\} $ be Δ _{n + 2}(f, x). In this paper we study the estimate of Δ _{n + 2}(f,x), that keeps the interpolation property. As a result we prove that $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\ln (n + 1) + \omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|} \right)} \right\}, $$ where T _n (x) = cos (n arccos x) is the Chebeyshev polynomial of first kind. Also, if f ∈ C ^r [?1, 1] with r ≧ 1, then $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {{n^r }}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\omega \left( {f^{(r)} ,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left( {\left( {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } + \frac{1} {n}} \right)^{r - 1} \ln (n + 1) + 1} \right)} \right\}. $$

On the existence of solutions for an elliptic system of equations with arbitrary order growth

Let BR be the ball centered at the origin with radius R in RN ( N ≥2). In this paper we study the existence of solution for the following elliptic systemu -△u+λu=p/(p + q)κ(| x |)) u(p-1)vq1,x ∈BR1,-△u+λu=p/(p + q)κ(| x |)) upv(q-1)1,x ∈BR1,u > 01,v > 01,x ∈ BR1,(u)/(v)=01,(v)/(v)=01,x ∈BRwhereλ > 0 , μ > 0 p ≥ 2, q ≥ 2,ν is the unit outward normal at the boundary BR . Under certainassumptions on κ ( | x | ), using variational methods, we prove the existence of a positive and radially increasing solution for this problem without growth conditions on the nonlinearity.     

Nontrivial solutions of a higher-order rational difference equation

We prove that, for every k ∈ ?, the following generalization of the Putnam difference equation $$ x_{n + 1} = \frac{{x_n + x_{n - 1} + \cdots + x_{n - (k - 1)} + x_{n - k} x_{n - (k + 1)} }} {{x_n x_{n - 1} + x_{n - 2} + \cdots + x_{n - (k + 1)} }}, n \in \mathbb{N}_0 , $$ has a positive solution with the following asymptotics $$ x_n = 1 + (k + 1)e^{ - \lambda ^n } + (k + 1)e^{ - c\lambda ^n } + o(e^{ - c\lambda ^n } ) $$ for some c > 1 depending on k, and where λ is the root of the polynomial P(λ) = λ ^k+2 ? λ ? 1 belonging to the interval (1, 2). Using this result, we prove that the equation has a positive solution which is not eventually equal to 1. Also, for the case k = 1, we find all positive eventually equal to unity solutions to the equation.
