Sharp constants in the doubly weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality

It is well known that the doubly weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality is as follows,Z Rn Z Rn f(x)g(y)|x||x.y||y|dxdy6 B(p,q,,,,n)kfkLp(Rn)kgkLq(Rn).The main purpose of this paper is to give the sharp constants B(p,q,,,,n)for the above inequality for three cases:(i)p=1 and q=1;(ii)p=1 and 1q 6∞,or 1p 6∞and q=1;(iii)1p,q∞and 1p+1q=1.In addition,the explicit bounds can be obtained for the case 1p,q∞and 1p+1q1.     

On the cosets of the 2q-power group in the unit group modulop

Letp be a prime number ≡ 3 mod 4,G ^p the unit group of ?/p?, andg a generator ofG _p. Letq be an odd divisor ofp - 1 andG _p ^2q = {t ^2q;t ∈G _pthe subgroup of index2q inG _p. The groupG _p ² / _p ^2q consists of the classes \(\bar g^{2j} \) ,j = 0,...,q – 1. In this paper we study the ’excesses’ of the classes \(\bar g^{2j} \) in {l,...,(_p–l)/2}, i.e., the numbers \(\Phi _j = \left| {\left\{ {k;1 \leqslant k \leqslant \left( {p - 1} \right)/2,\bar k \in \bar g^{2j} } \right\}} \right| - \left| {\left\{ {k;\left( {p - 1} \right)/2 \leqslant k \leqslant p - 1,\bar k \in \bar g^{2j} } \right\}} \right|\) ,j = 0.....q — 1. First we express therelative class number h _2q of the subfieldK _2q? ?(e^2#x03C0;i/p ) of degree [K _2q: ?] =2q in terms of these excesses. We use this formula to establish certaincongruences for the Ф^j. E.g., ifq ∈ {3,5,11}, each number Фj is congruent modulo 4 to each other iff 2 dividesh _2q ^- . Finally we study thevariance of the excesses, i.e., the number \(\sigma ^2 = ((\Phi _0 - \hat \Phi )^2 + \ldots + (\Phi _{q - 1} - \hat \Phi )^2 )/(q - 1)\) , where \(\hat \Phi \) is the mean value of the numbers Ф_j. We obtain an explicit lower bound for σ² in terms ofh _2q ^- /h ₂ ^- . Moreover, we show that log σ² is asymptotically equal to 21og(h _2q ^- h ₂ ^- )/(q - 1) forp→∞. Three tables illustrate the results.     

Regularity results for a class of obstacle problems in Heisenberg groups

We study regularity results for solutions u ∈ HW ^1,p (Ω) to the obstacle problem $$\int_\Omega \mathcal{A} \left( {x,\nabla _{\mathbb{H}^u } } \right)\nabla _\mathbb{H} \left( {v - u} \right)dx \geqslant 0 \forall v \in \mathcal{K}_{\psi ,u} \left( \Omega \right)$$ such that u ? ψ a.e. in Ω, where $xxx$ , in Heisenberg groups ? ⁿ . In particular, we obtain weak differentiability in the T-direction and horizontal estimates of Calderon-Zygmund type, i.e. $$\begin{gathered} T\psi \in HW_{loc}^{1,p} \left( \Omega \right) \Rightarrow Tu \in L_{loc}^p \left( \Omega \right), \hfill \\ \left| {\nabla _{\mathbb{H}\psi } } \right|^p \in L_{loc}^q \left( \Omega \right) \Rightarrow \left| {\nabla _{\mathbb{H}^u } } \right|^p \in L_{loc}^q \left( \Omega \right), \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ where 2 < p < 4, q > 1.

Let α > 0. We consider the linear span $\mathfrak{X}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ of scalar Riesz's kernels $\left\{ {\tfrac{1}{{\left| {x - a} \right|^\alpha }}} \right\}_{a \in \mathbb{R}^n }$ and the linear span $\mathfrak{Y}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ of vector Riesz's kernels $\left\{ {\tfrac{1}{{\left| {x - a} \right|^{\alpha + 1} }}\left( {x - a} \right)} \right\}_{a \in \mathbb{R}^n }$ . We study the following problems. (1) When is the intersection $\mathfrak{X}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right) \cap L^p \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ dense in L^p(?ⁿ)? (2) When is the intersection $\mathfrak{Y}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right) \cap L^p \left( {\mathbb{R}^n ,\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ dense in L^p(?ⁿ, ?ⁿ)? Bibliography: 15 titles.

Convergence of polyharmonic splines on semi-regular grids \mathbb{Z}{{\boldsymbol{\times}} \boldsymbol{a}} {\mathbb{Z}^{\it\boldsymbol{n}}} for {\boldsymbol{a}\rightarrow\mathbf {0}}

Let p, n ∈ ? with 2p ≥ n + 2, and let I _a be a polyharmonic spline of order p on the grid ? × a? ⁿ which satisfies the interpolating conditions $I_{a}\left( j,am\right) =d_{j}\left( am\right) $ for j ∈ ?, m ∈ ? ⁿ where the functions d _j : ? ⁿ → ? and the parameter a > 0 are given. Let $B_{s}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) $ be the set of all integrable functions f : ? ⁿ → ? such that the integral $$ \left\| f\right\| _{s}:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\left| \widehat{f}\left( \xi\right) \right| \left( 1+\left| \xi\right| ^{s}\right) d\xi $$ is finite. The main result states that for given $\mathbb{\sigma}\geq0$ there exists a constant c>0 such that whenever $d_{j}\in B_{2p}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) \cap C\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) ,$ j ∈ ?, satisfy $\left\| d_{j}\right\| _{2p}\leq D\cdot\left( 1+\left| j\right| ^{\mathbb{\sigma}}\right) $ for all j ∈ ? there exists a polyspline S : ? ⁿ⁺¹ → ? of order p on strips such that $$ \left| S\left( t,y\right) -I_{a}\left( t,y\right) \right| \leq a^{2p-1}c\cdot D\cdot\left( 1+\left| t\right| ^{\mathbb{\sigma}}\right) $$ for all y ∈ ? ⁿ , t ∈ ? and all 0 < a ≤ 1.     

Absolute tauberian conditions for absolute hausdorff and quasi-hausdorff methods

The purpose of this paper is to prove that for a large set of absolute Hausdorff and quasi-Hausdorff methods the condition $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\left| {\lambda _n a_n - \lambda _{n - 1} a_{n - 1} } \right|< } \infty $$ is a Tauberian condition, i.e., its fulfillment together with the absolute summability of \(\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {a_n } \) tos implies that \(\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {\left| {a_n } \right|}< \infty \) and \(\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {a_n } = s.\) a _n =s.     

L p inequalities for polynomials with restricted zeros

LetP(z) be a polynomial of degreen which does not vanish in the disk |z|<k. It has been proved that for eachp>0 andk≥1, $$\begin{gathered} \left\{ {\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {P^{(s)} (e^{i\theta } )} \right|^p d\theta } } \right\}^{1/p} \leqslant n(n - 1) \cdots (n - s + 1) B_p \hfill \\ \times \left\{ {\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {P(e^{i\theta } )} \right|^p d\theta } } \right\}^{1/p} , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where $B_p = \left\{ {\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {k^s + e^{i\alpha } } \right|^p d\alpha } } \right\}^{ - 1/p} $ andP ^(s)(z) is thesth derivative ofP(z). This result generalizes well-known inequality due to De Bruijn. Asp→∞, it gives an inequality due to Govil and Rahman which as a special case gives a result conjectured by Erdös and first proved by Lax.     

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.     

Applications of weighted estimates of Calderon’s commutators

The paper introduces singular integral operators of a new type defined in the space L ^p with the weight function on the complex plane. For these operators, norm estimates are derived. Namely, if V is a complex-valued function on the complex plane satisfying the condition |V(z) ? V(??)| ?? w|z ? ??| and F is an entire function, then we put $$P_F^* f(z) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\varepsilon > 0} \left| {\int\limits_{\left| {\zeta - z} \right| > \varepsilon } {F\left( {\frac{{V(\zeta ) - V(z)}} {{\zeta - z}}} \right)\frac{{f(\zeta )}} {{\left( {\zeta - z} \right)^2 }}d\sigma (\zeta )} } \right|.$$ It is shown that if the weight function ?? is a Muckenhoupt A _p weight for 1 < p < ??, then $$\left\| {P_F^* f} \right\|_{p,\omega } \leqslant C(F,w,p)\left\| f \right\|_{p,\omega } .$$ .

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.

Sign-definiteness of q-eigenfunctions for a super-linear p-Laplacian eigenvalue problem

We consider the following q-eigenvalue problem for the p-Laplacian $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div}\big( |\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\big) = \lambda \|u\|_{L^{q}(\Omega)}^{p-q}|u|^{q-2}u \quad \quad\, {\rm in} \,\,\,\, \Omega\\ \quad\quad\quad \quad \quad \quad u = 0 \quad\qquad\qquad \quad\quad \,\,{\rm on } \,\,\,\, \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where \({\lambda\in\mathbb{R},}\) p > 1, Ω is a bounded and smooth domain of \({\mathbb{R}^{N},}\) N > 1, \({1\leq q < p^{\star}}\) , \({p^{\star}=\frac{Np}{N-p}}\) if p < N and \({p^{\star}=\infty}\) if \({p\geq N.}\) Let λ _q denote the first q-eigenvalue. We prove that in the super-linear case, \({p < q < p^{\star},}\) there exists \({\epsilon_{q}>0}\) such that if \({\lambda\in(\lambda_{q},\lambda _{q}+\epsilon_{q})}\) is a q-eigenvalue, then any corresponding q-eigenfunction does not change sign in Ω. As a consequence of this result we obtain, in the super-linear case, the isolatedness of λ _q for those Ω such that the Lane–Emden problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div}\big(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\big) = |u|^{q-2}u \qquad\quad\quad\quad \,\,{\rm in}\,\,\,\Omega\\ \quad\quad\quad \quad \quad \quad u = 0 \quad\qquad\qquad \quad\quad \,{\rm on } \,\,\, \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ has exactly one positive solution.     

Estimation of Kloosterman sums with primes and its application

Suppose that p is a large prime. In this paper, we prove that, for any natural number N < p the following estimate holds: $$ \left. {\mathop {\max }\limits_{\left( {a,p} \right) = 1} } \right|\left. {\sum\limits_{q \leqslant N} {e^{{{2\pi iaq*} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{2\pi iaq*} p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} } } \right| \leqslant \left( {N^{{{15} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{15} {16}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {16}}} + N^{{2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} p^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 4}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 4}} } \right)p^{0\left( 1 \right)} , $$ where q is a prime and q* is the least natural number satisfying the congruence qq* ≡ 1 (modp). This estimate implies the following statement: if p > N > p ^16/17+? , where ? > 0, and if we have λ ? 0 (modp), then the number J of solutions of the congruence $$ q_1 \left( {q_2 + q_3 } \right) \equiv \lambda \left( {\bmod p} \right) $$ for the primes q ₁, q ₂, q ₃ ≤ N can be expressed as $$ J = \frac{{\pi \left( N \right)^3 }} {p}\left( {1 + O\left( {p^{ - \delta } } \right)} \right), \delta = \delta \left( \varepsilon \right) > 0. $$ This statement improves a recent result of Friedlander, Kurlberg, and Shparlinski in which the condition p > N > p ^38/39+? was required.     

A Tauberian theorem for ℓ-adic sheaves on \mathbb{A} 1

Let K ∈ L ¹(?) and let f ∈ L ^∞(?) be two functions on ?. The convolution $$ \left( {K*F} \right)\left( x \right) = \int_\mathbb{R} {K\left( {x - y} \right)f\left( y \right)dy} $$ can be considered as an average of f with weight defined by K. Wiener’s Tauberian theorem says that under suitable conditions, if $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \left( {K*F} \right)\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \int_\mathbb{R} {\left( {K*A} \right)\left( x \right)} $$ for some constant A, then $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } f\left( x \right) = A $$ We prove the following ?-adic analogue of this theorem: Suppose K, F, G are perverse ?-adic sheaves on the affine line $ \mathbb{A} $ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p (p ≠ ?). Under suitable conditions, if $ \left( {K*F} \right)|_{\eta _\infty } \cong \left( {K*G} \right)|_{\eta _\infty } $ , then $ F|_{\eta _\infty } \cong G|_{\eta _\infty } $ , where η _∞ is the spectrum of the local field of $ \mathbb{A} $ at ∞.     

Decay estimates for nonlinear nonlocal diffusion problems in the whole space

In this paper, we obtain bounds for the decay rate in the L ^r (? ^d )-norm for the solutions of a nonlocal and nonlinear evolution equation, namely, $$u_t \left( {x,t} \right) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( {y,t} \right) - u\left( {x,t} \right)} \right)dy, x \in \mathbb{R}^d , t > 0.}$$ . We consider a kernel of the form K(x, y) = ψ(y?a(x)) + ψ(x?a(y)), where ψ is a bounded, nonnegative function supported in the unit ball and a is a linear function a(x) = Ax. To obtain the decay rates, we derive lower and upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of a nonlocal diffusion operator of the form $$T\left( u \right) = - \int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {K\left( {x,y} \right)\left| {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right|^{p - 2} \left( {u\left( y \right) - u\left( x \right)} \right)dy, 1 \leqslant p < \infty .}$$ . The upper and lower bounds that we obtain are sharp and provide an explicit expression for the first eigenvalue in the whole space ? ^d : $$\lambda _{1,p} \left( {\mathbb{R}^d } \right) = 2\left( {\int_{\mathbb{R}^d } {\psi \left( z \right)dz} } \right)\left| {\frac{1} {{\left| {\det A} \right|^{1/p} }} - 1} \right|^p .$$ Moreover, we deal with the p = ∞ eigenvalue problem, studying the limit of λ _1,p ^1/p as p→∞.     

Sharp Estimates for Integral Means for Three Classes of Domains

In this paper, the following sharp estimate is proved: $$\int_{0}^{2{\pi }} {\left| {F\prime \left( {e^{i\theta } } \right)} \right|^p d\theta \leqslant \sqrt {\pi } 2^{1 + p} \frac{{\gamma \left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2} + {p \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {p 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \right)}} {{\gamma \left( {1 + {p \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {p 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \right)}}} ,\quad p > - 1,$$ where F is the conformal mapping of the domain $D^ - = \left\{ {\zeta :\left| \zeta \right| > 1} \right\}$ onto the exterior of a convex curve, with $F\prime \left( \infty \right) = 1$ . For p=1, this result is due to Pólya and Shiffer. We also obtain several generalizations of this estimate under other geometric assumptions about the structure of the domain F(D ^-).
