Let X₁,X₂,… be a strictly stationary sequence of ρ-mixing random variables with mean zeros and positive, finite variances, set Sn=X₁+?+Xn. Suppose that , , where q>2δ+2. We prove that, if for any 0<δ?1, then

     

A hypercyclicity criterion with applications

A continuous linear operator on a topological vector space X is called hypercyclic if there is x∈X such that the orbit {Tnx}_n?0 is dense in X. We establish a criterion for hypercyclicity, and study some applications. In particular, we establish hypercyclic left-multipliers on the space L(X,Y) of continuous linear operators between X and Y, provided with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets, for some spaces X,Y of holomorphic functions.     

Nonlinear conditions for weighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras

Let T:Lip₀(X)→Lip₀(Y) be a surjective map between pointed Lipschitz ^∗-algebras, where X and Y are compact metric spaces. On the one hand, we prove that if T satisfies the non-symmetric norm ^∗-multiplicativity condition:

     

Asplund sets, differentiability and subdifferentiability of functions in Banach spaces

We show that Asplund sets are effective tools to study differentiability of Lipschitz functions, and ε-subdifferentiability of lower semicontinuous functions on general Banach spaces. If a locally Lipschitz function defined on an Asplund generated space has a minimal Clarke subdifferential mapping, then it is TBY-uniformly strictly differentiable on a dense Gδ subset of X. Examples are given of locally Lipschitz functions that are TBY-uniformly strictly differentiable everywhere, but nowhere Fréchet differentiable.     

Maximal element theorems in product FC-spaces and generalized games

Let I be a finite or infinite index set, X be a topological space and (Yi,{φNi})_i∈I be a family of finitely continuous topological spaces (in short, FC-space). For each i∈I, let be a set-valued mapping. Some existence theorems of maximal elements for the family {Ai}_i∈I are established under noncompact setting of FC-spaces. As applications, some equilibrium existence theorems for generalized games with fuzzy constraint correspondences are proved in noncompact FC-spaces. These theorems improve, unify and generalize many important results in recent literature.

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.     

Asymptotic structure and the existence of noncompact operators between Banach spaces

We investigate the problem of the existence of a noncompact operator T:X₀X→Y in terms of the asymptotic structure of separable Banach spaces X and Y. More precisely, for and , let T_ξ,η be the linear map which sends each x_i to y_i. We prove that if for some then every T:X₀X→Y is compact. If for n=2 all such maps have norm 1 we show the existence of a noncompact T:X₀X→Y.     

Coarse version of the Banach-Stone theorem

We show that if there exists a Lipschitz homeomorphism T between the nets in the Banach spaces C(X) and C(Y) of continuous real valued functions on compact spaces X and Y, then the spaces X and Y are homeomorphic provided . By l(T) and l(T−1) we denote the Lipschitz constants of the maps T and T−1. This improves the classical result of Jarosz and the recent result of Dutrieux and Kalton where the constant obtained is . We also estimate the distance of the map T from the isometry of the spaces C(X) and C(Y).     

On estimates of the density of Feynman-Kac semigroups of α-stable-like processes

Suppose that α∈(0,2) and that X is an α-stable-like process on Rd. Let F be a function on Rd belonging to the class Jd,α (see Introduction) and be _∑s?tF(Xs−,Xs), t>0, a discontinuous additive functional of X. With neither F nor X being symmetric, under certain conditions, we show that the Feynman-Kac semigroup defined by

Counting descent pairs with prescribed tops and bottoms

Given sets X and Y of positive integers and a permutation σ=σ₁σ₂?σn∈Sn, an (X,Y)-descent of σ is a descent pair σi>σi+1 whose “top” σi is in X and whose “bottom” σi+1 is in Y. We give two formulas for the number of σ∈Sn with s(X,Y)-descents. is also shown to be a hit number of a certain Ferrers board. This work generalizes results of Kitaev and Remmel [S. Kitaev, J.

Explicit formulas for Laplace transforms of certain functionals of some time inhomogeneous diffusions

We consider a process given by the SDE , t∈[0,T), with initial condition , where T∈(0,∞], α∈R, (Bt)_t∈[0,T) is a standard Wiener process, b:[0,T)→R?{0} and σ:[0,T)→(0,∞) are continuously differentiable functions. Assuming , t∈[0,T), with some K∈R, we derive an explicit formula for the joint Laplace transform of and for all t∈[0,T) and for all α∈R. Our motivation is that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of α can be expressed in terms of these random variables. As an application, we show that in case of α=K, K≠0,

     

Global minimum and orthogonality in C1-classes

In this paper we characterize the global minimum of an arbitrary function defined on a Banach space, in terms of a new concept of derivatives adapted for our case from a recent work due to D.J. Keckic (J. Operator Theory, submitted for publication). Using these results we establish several new characterizations of the global minimum of the map defined by F_ψ(X)=‖ψ(X)‖₁, where is a map defined by ψ(X)=S+φ(X) and φ:B(H)→B(H) is a linear map, S∈C₁, and . Further, we apply these results to characterize the operators which are orthogonal to the range of elementary operators.     

Luzin measurability of Carathéodory type mappings

A topological space X is said to have the Scorza-Dragoni property if the following property holds: For every metric space Y and every Radon measure space (T,μ), any Carathéodory function is Luzin measurable, i.e., given ε>0, there is a compact set K in T with μ(T?K)?ε such that the mapping is continuous. We present a selection of spaces without the Scorza-Dragoni property, among which there are first countable hereditarily separable and hereditarily Lindelöf compact spaces, separable Moore spaces and even countable k-spaces. In the positive direction, it is shown that every space which is an ℵ₀-space and kR-space has the Scorza-Dragoni property. We also prove that every separately continuous mapping , where Y is a metric space, is Luzin measurable, provided the space X is strongly functionally generated by a countable collection of its bounded subsets. If Martin's Axiom is assumed then all metric spaces of density less than c, and all pseudocompact spaces of cardinality less than c, have the Scorza-Dragoni property with respect to every separable Radon measure μ. Finally, the class of countable spaces with the Scorza-Dragoni property is closely examined.
