Pointwise universal trigonometric series

A series is called a pointwise universal trigonometric series if for any , there exists a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers such that converges to f(z) pointwise on . We find growth conditions on coefficients allowing and forbidding the existence of a pointwise universal trigonometric series. For instance, if as |n|→∞ for some ε>0, then the series S_a cannot be pointwise universal. On the other hand, there exists a pointwise universal trigonometric series S_a with as |n|→∞.     

On some algebraic difference equations in , related to families of conics or cubics: generalization of the Lyness' sequences

In this paper and in a forthcoming one, we study difference equations in of the types (2)(4)(6) which are linked to families of conics, cubics and quartics, respectively. These equations generalize Lyness' one u_n+2u_n=a+u_n+1 studied in several papers, whose behavior was completely elucidated in [G. Bastien, M. Rogalski, in press] through methods which are transposed in the present paper for the study of (1) and (2), and in the forthcoming one for (3). In particular we prove in the present paper a form of chaotic behavior for solutions of difference equations (1) and (2), and find all the possible periods for these solutions.     

Conditional limiting distribution of beta-independent random vectors

The paper deals with random vectors in , possessing the stochastic representation , where R is a positive random radius independent of the random vector and is a non-singular matrix. If is uniformly distributed on the unit sphere of , then for any integer m<d we have the stochastic representations and , with W≥0, such that W² is a beta distributed random variable with parameters m/2,(d−m)/2 and (U₁,…,U_m),(U_m+1,…,U_d) are independent uniformly distributed on the unit spheres of and , respectively. Assuming a more general stochastic representation for in this paper we introduce the class of beta-independent random vectors. For this new class we derive several conditional limiting results assuming that R has a distribution function in the max-domain of attraction of a univariate extreme value distribution function. We provide two applications concerning the Kotz approximation of the conditional distributions and the tail asymptotic behaviour of beta-independent bivariate random vectors.     

Strong uniform continuity

Let be an ideal of subsets of a metric space X,d. This paper considers a strengthening of the notion of uniform continuity of a function restricted to members of which reduces to ordinary continuity when consists of the finite subsets of X and agrees with uniform continuity on members of when is either the power set of X or the family of compact subsets of X. The paper also presents new function space topologies that are well suited to this strengthening. As a consequence of the general theory, we display necessary and sufficient conditions for continuity of the pointwise limit of a net of continuous functions.     

Sobolev–Hardy space with general weight

In this paper, it is defined the kth order Sobolev–Hardy space with norm

Then the corresponding Poincaré inequality in this space is obtained, and the results are given that this space is embedded in with weight and in with weight ^q/2 for 1q<2. Moreover, we prove that the constant of k-improved Hardy–Sobolev inequality with general weight is optimal. These inequalities turn to be some known versions of Hardy–Sobolev inequalities in the literature by some particular choice of weights.     

Spaces of holomorphic functions in regular domains

Let Ω be a regular domain in the complex plane , . Let be the linear space over of the holomorphic functions f in Ω such that f⁽ⁿ⁾ is bounded in Ω and is continuously extendible to the closure of Ω, n=0,1,2,… . We endow , in a natural manner, with a structure of Fréchet space and we obtain dense subspaces F of , with good topological linear properties, also satisfying that each function f of F, distinct from zero, does not extend holomorphically outside Ω.     

Analyticity of functions analytic on circles

Let Δ be the open unit disc in, let pbΔ, and let f be a continuous function on which extends holomorphically from each circle in centered at the origin and from each circle in which passes through p. Then f is holomorphic on Δ.     

Equivalence relation groupoids associated with certain linearly ordered dimension groups

We consider linearly ordered, Archimedean dimension groups (G,G⁺,u) for which the group G/u is torsion-free. It will be shown that if, in addition, G/u is generated by a single element (i.e., ), then (G,G⁺,u) is isomorphic to for some irrational number τ(0,1). This amounts to an extension of related results where dimension groups for which G/u is torsion were considered. We will prove, in the case of the Fibonacci dimension group, that these results can be used to directly construct an equivalence relation groupoid whose C^*-algebra is the Fibonacci C^*-algebra.     

Lipschitz regularity for scalar minimizers of autonomous simple integrals

We prove Lipschitz regularity for a minimizer of the integral , defined on the class of the AC functions having x(a)=A and x(b)=B. The Lagrangian may have L(s,) nonconvex (except at ξ=0), while may be non-lsc, measurability sufficing for ξ≠0 provided, e.g., L^**() is lsc at (s,0) s. The essential hypothesis (to yield Lipschitz minimizers) turns out to be local boundedness of the quotient φ/ρ() (and not of L^**() itself, as usual), where φ(s)+ρ(s)h(ξ) approximates the bipolar L^**(s,ξ) in an adequate sense. Moreover, an example of infinite Lavrentiev gap with a scalar 1-dim autonomous (but locally unbounded) lsc Lagrangian is presented.     

Weak and point-wise convergence in for filter convergence

We study those filters on for which weak -convergence of bounded sequences in C(K) is equivalent to point-wise -convergence. We show that it is sufficient to require this property only for C[0,1] and that the filter-analogue of the Rainwater extremal test theorem arises from it. There are ultrafilters which do not have this property and under the continuum hypothesis there are ultrafilters which have it. This implies that the validity of the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem for -convergence is more restrictive than the property which we study.     

A new characterization of Bergman–Schatten spaces and a duality result

Let denote the space of all upper triangular matrices A such that lim_r→1⁻(1−r²)(A*C(r))^′_B(ℓ²)=0. We also denote by the closed Banach subspace of consisting of all upper triangular matrices whose diagonals are compact operators. In this paper we give a duality result between and the Bergman–Schatten spaces . We also give a characterization of the more general Bergman–Schatten spaces , 1p<∞, in terms of Taylor coefficients, which is similar to that of M. Mateljevic and M. Pavlovic [M. Mateljevic, M. Pavlovic, L^p-behaviour of the integral means of analytic functions, Studia Math. 77 (1984) 219–237] for classical Bergman spaces.     

All-derivable points in continuous nest algebras

Let be an operator algebra on a Hilbert space. We say that an element is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology if every strong operator topology continuous derivable linear mapping φ at G (i.e. φ(ST)=φ(S)T+Sφ(T) for any with ST=G) is a derivation. Let be a continuous nest on a complex and separable Hilbert space H. We show in this paper that every orthogonal projection operator P(M) () is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology.     

Plancherel–Polya-type inequalities for entire functions of exponential type in

The goal of the paper is to prove generalizations of the classical Plancherel–Polya inequalities in which point-wise sampling of functions (δ-distributions) is replaced by more general compactly supported distributions on . As an application it is shown that a function , 1p∞, which is an entire function of exponential type is uniquely determined by a set of numbers {Ψ_j(f)}, , where {Ψ_j}, , is a countable sequence of compactly supported distributions. In the case p=2 a reconstruction method of a Paley–Wiener function f from a sequence of samples {Ψ_j(f)}, , is given. This method is a generalization of the classical result of Duffin–Schaeffer about exponential frames on intervals.     

Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities in regular Orlicz spaces involving nonlinear expressions

We consider a triple of N-functions (M,H,J) that satisfy the Δ^′-condition, and suppose that an additive variant of interpolation inequality holds

where , is an arbitrary set invariant with respect to external and internal dilations. We show that the above inequality implies its certain nonlinear variant involving the expressions and . Various generalizations of this inequality to the more general class of N-functions, measures and to higher order derivatives are also discussed and the examples are presented.     

Oscillation of second-order damped dynamic equations on time scales

The study of dynamic equations on time scales has been created in order to unify the study of differential and difference equations. The general idea is to prove a result for a dynamic equation where the domain of the unknown function is a so-called time scale, which may be an arbitrary closed subset of the reals. This way results not only related to the set of real numbers or set of integers but those pertaining to more general time scales are obtained. In this paper, by employing the Riccati transformation technique we will establish some oscillation criteria for second-order linear and nonlinear dynamic equations with damping terms on a time scale . Our results in the special case when and extend and improve some well-known oscillation results for second-order linear and nonlinear differential and difference equations and are essentially new on the time scales , h>0, for q>1, , etc. Some examples are considered to illustrate our main results.     

Partial regularity for solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity

We consider the following nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity:

where α>β>1, a>0, and Ω is an open subset of , n2. Let uH¹(Ω) with and be a nonnegative stationary solution. If we denote the zero set of u by

we shall prove that the Hausdorff dimension of Σ is less than or equal to .     

Nonwandering set of points of skew-product maps with base having closed set of periodic points

The aim of the present paper is to study the structure of the nonwandering set of points Ω() for the skew-product maps of the unit square , (x,y)→(f(x),g(x,y)), with base f having closed set of periodic points. For every and every point (x,y) with x periodic of period p_x by f and y not chain recurrent of F^p_x|_Ix, where , we prove that (x,y)Ω(F). On the other hand we construct a map with an isolated fixed point x₀ of f and y₀Ω(F|_Ix0) such that (x₀,y₀)Ω(F₀).     

Gruenhage compacta and strictly convex dual norms

We prove that if K is a Gruenhage compact space then admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. As a corollary, we show that if X is a Banach space and , where K is a Gruenhage compact in the w^*-topology and |||||| is equivalent to a coarser, w^*-lower semicontinuous norm on X^*, then X^* admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. We give a partial converse to the first result by showing that if is a tree, then admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm if and only if is a Gruenhage space. Finally, we present some stability properties satisfied by Gruenhage spaces; in particular, Gruenhage spaces are stable under perfect images.     

Weakly sequentially continuous differentiable mappings

It is well known that a (linear) operator between Banach spaces is completely continuous if and only if its adjoint takes bounded subsets of Y^* into uniformly completely continuous subsets, often called (L)-subsets, of X^*. We give similar results for differentiable mappings. More precisely, if UX is an open convex subset, let be a differentiable mapping whose derivative is uniformly continuous on U-bounded subsets. We prove that f takes weak Cauchy U-bounded sequences into convergent sequences if and only if f^′ takes Rosenthal U-bounded subsets of U into uniformly completely continuous subsets of . As a consequence, we extend a result of P. Hájek and answer a question raised by R. Deville and E. Matheron. We derive differentiable characterizations of Banach spaces not containing ℓ₁ and of Banach spaces without the Schur property containing a copy of ℓ₁. Analogous results are given for differentiable mappings taking weakly convergent U-bounded sequences into convergent sequences. Finally, we show that if X has the hereditary Dunford–Pettis property, then every differentiable function as above is locally weakly sequentially continuous.
