Uniform convexity of ψ-direct sums of Banach spaces

Let X and Y be Banach spaces and ψ a continuous convex function on the unit interval [0,1] satisfying certain conditions. Let X⊕_ψY be the direct sum of X and Y equipped with the associated norm with ψ. We show that X⊕_ψY is uniformly convex if and only if X,Y are uniformly convex and ψ is strictly convex. As a corollary we obtain that the ?_p,q-direct sum (not p=q=1 nor ∞), is uniformly convex if and only if X,Y are, where ?_p,q is the Lorentz sequence space. These results extend the well-known fact for the ?_p-sum . Some other examples are also presented.     

Uniqueness of norm on L(G) and C(G) when G is a compact group

Let G be a compact group. If the trivial representation of G is not weakly contained in the left regular representation of G on L₀²(G) and X is either L^p(G) for 1<p?∞ or C(G), then we show that every complete norm |·| on X that makes translations from (X,|·|) into itself continuous is equivalent to ||·||_p or ||·||_∞ respectively. If 1<p?∞ and every left invariant linear functional on L^p(G) is a constant multiple of the Haar integral, then we show that every complete norm |·| on L^p(G) that makes translations from (L^p(G),|·|) into itself continuous and that makes the map t?L_t from G into bounded is equivalent to ||·||_p.     

Maximum norm stability of difference schemes for parabolic equations on overset nonmatching space-time grids

In this paper, theoretical results are described on the maximum norm stability and accuracy of finite difference discretizations of parabolic equations on overset nonmatching space-time grids. We consider parabolic equations containing a linear reaction term on a space-time domain which is decomposed into an overlapping collection of cylindrical subregions of the form , for . Each of the space-time domains are assumed to be independently grided (in parallel) according to the local geometry and space-time regularity of the solution, yielding space-time grids with mesh parameters and . In particular, the different space-time grids need not match on the regions of overlap, and the time steps can differ from one grid to the next. We discretize the parabolic equation on each local grid by employing an explicit or implicit -scheme in time and a finite difference scheme in space satisfying a discrete maximum principle. The local discretizations are coupled together, without the use of Lagrange multipliers, by requiring the boundary values on each space-time grid to match a suitable interpolation of the solution on adjacent grids. The resulting global discretization yields a large system of coupled equations which can be solved by a parallel Schwarz iterative procedure requiring some communication between adjacent subregions. Our analysis employs a contraction mapping argument.

Applications of the results are briefly indicated for reaction-diffusion equations with contractive terms and heterogeneous hyperbolic-parabolic approximations of parabolic equations.

Operator ideal norms on

Let be a real number such that and its conjugate exponent . We prove that for an operator defined on with values in a Banach space, the image of the unit ball determines whether belongs to any operator ideal and its operator ideal norm. We also show that this result fails to be true in the remaining cases of . Finally we prove that when the result holds in finite dimension, the map which associates to the image of the unit ball the operator ideal norm is continuous with respect to the Hausdorff metric.

An algorithm for fitting circular arcs to data using the <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">1</Emphasis></Subscript> norm

There are many applications of fitting circular arcs to data. We have for example, system control, using a computer controlled cutting machine, approximating hulls of boats, drawing and image techniques. Out of these applications comes the least squares norm to be the most commonly used criterion. This paper examines how the l ₁ norm is used which seems to be more appropriate than the use of least squares in the context of wild points in the data. An algorithm and different methods to determine the starting points are developed. However, numerical examples are given to help illustrate these methods.      

A Mann type iterative scheme for variational inequalities in noncompact subsets of Banach spaces

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions and approximation of the solutions by using a Mann type iterative scheme for variational inequalities in noncompact subsets of Banach spaces. The results presented in this paper generalize the corresponding results of J. Li [J. Li, On the existence of solutions of variational inequalities in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 295 (2004) 115-126].
