Weighted inequalities for fractional type operators with some homogeneous kernels

In this paper, we study integral operators of the form Tαf(x)=∫Rn|x-A1y|-α1 ··· |x-Amy|-αmf(y)dy,where Ai are certain invertible matrices, αi 0, 1 ≤ i ≤ m, α1 + ··· + αm = n-α, 0 ≤α n. For 1/q = 1/p-α/n , we obtain the Lp (Rn, wp)-Lq(Rn, wq) boundedness for weights w in A(p, q) satisfying that there exists c 0 such that w(Aix) ≤ cw(x), a.e. x ∈ Rn , 1 ≤ i ≤ m.Moreover, we obtain theappropriate weighted BMO and weak type estimates for certain weights satisfying the above inequality. We also give a Coifman type estimate for these operators.     

A note on an open question on ω- and τ- Matrices

In a recent paper by Engel and Schneider, it was asked if, for every n ? 1, A ∈ τ_<n> implies (A+D) ∈ τ_<n> for every D = diag[d₁, d₂,… d_n] with d_i ? 0, 1 ? i ? n. We answer this question in the negative. More precisely, we show that for, any n ? 3, the set

(τ _{< n>}): = {D ∈C^n,n:(A+D)∈τ < n> for all A∈τ_<n>} is exactly given by

(Gt_<n>) = {γI_n:γ ? 0}.     

On the H p -L q boundedness of some fractional integral operators

Let A ₁, …, A _m be n × n real matrices such that for each 1 ? i ? m, A _i is invertible and A _i ? A _j is invertible for i ≠ j. In this paper we study integral operators of the form $$Tf(x) = \int {{k_1}(x - {A_{1y}}){k_2}(x - {A_{2y}}) \ldots {k_m}(x - {A_{my}})f(y){\rm{d}}y}$$ ${k_i}(y) = \sum\limits_{j \in z} {{2^{jn/{q_i}}}} \varphi i,j({2^j}y),1 \le {q_i} < \infty ,1/{q_1} + 1/q + ... + 1/q = 1 - r,0 \le r < 1, and \varphi i,j$ satisfying suitable regularity conditions. We obtain the boundedness of T: H ^p (? ⁿ ) → L ^q (? ⁿ ) for 0 < p < 1/r and 1/q = 1/p-r. We also show that we can not expect the H ^p -H ^q boundedness of this kind of operators.     

Association Schemes of Quadratic Forms and Symmetric Bilinear Forms

Let X _n and Y _n be the sets of quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms on an n-dimensional vector space V over , respectively. The orbits of GL _n( ) on X _n × X _n define an association scheme Qua(n, q). The orbits of GL _n( ) on Y _n × Y _n also define an association scheme Sym(n, q). Our main results are: Qua(n, q) and Sym(n, q) are formally dual. When q is odd, Qua(n, q) and Sym(n, q) are isomorphic; Qua(n, q) and Sym(n, q) are primitive and self-dual. Next we assume that q is even. Qua(n, q) is imprimitive; when (n, q) (2,2), all subschemes of Qua(n, q) are trivial, i.e., of class one, and the quotient scheme is isomorphic to Alt(n, q), the association scheme of alternating forms on V. The dual statements hold for Sym(n, q).     

F-limit points in dynamical systems defined on the interval

Given a free ultrafilter p on ? we say that x ∈ [0, 1] is the p-limit point of a sequence (x _n ) _n∈? ? [0, 1] (in symbols, x = p -lim _n∈? x _n ) if for every neighbourhood V of x, {n ∈ ?: x _n ∈ V} ∈ p. For a function f: [0, 1] → [0, 1] the function f ^p : [0, 1] → [0, 1] is defined by f ^p (x) = p -lim _n∈? f ⁿ (x) for each x ∈ [0, 1]. This map is rarely continuous. In this note we study properties which are equivalent to the continuity of f ^p . For a filter F we also define the ω ^F -limit set of f at x. We consider a question about continuity of the multivalued map x → ω _f ^F (x). We point out some connections between the Baire class of f ^p and tame dynamical systems, and give some open problems.     

On the plane term rank of three dimensional matrices

It is shown that if A is a p>×q×r matrix such that each of the horizontal plane sections of A has full term rank, then the plane term rank of A is greater than m?√m where m= min {p,q,r}. In particular, if A is a three dimensional line stochastic matrix of order n, then the plane term rank of A is greater than n?√n.     

Lower bound inequalities for norms of symmetrized tensor powers

Let V be a complex inner product space of positive dimension m with inner product 〈·,·〉, and let T_n(V) denote the set of all n-linear complex-valued functions defined on V×V×?×V (n-copies). By S_n(V) we mean the set of all symmetric members of T_n(V). We extend the inner product, 〈·,·〉, on V to T_n(V) in the usual way, and we define multiple tensor products A₁⊗A₂⊗?⊗A_n and symmetric products A₁·A₂?A_n, where q₁,q₂,…,q_n are positive integers and A_i∈T_qi(V) for each i, as expected. If A∈S_n(V), then A^k denotes the symmetric product A·A?A where there are k copies of A. We are concerned with producing the best lower bounds for ‖A^k‖², particularly when n=2. In this case we are able to show that ‖A^k‖² is a symmetric polynomial in the eigenvalues of a positive semi-definite Hermitian matrix, M_A, that is closely related to A. From this we are able to obtain many lower bounds for ‖A^k‖². In particular, we are able to show that if ω denotes 1/r where r is the rank of M_A, and , then

     

A remark on Nesterenko’s theorem for Ramanujan functions

We study the algebraic independence of values of the Ramanujan q-series $A_{2j+1}(q)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^{2j+1}q^{2n}/(1-q^{2n})$ or S _2j+1(q) (j≥0). It is proved that, for any distinct positive integers i, j satisfying $(i,j)\not=(1,3)$ and for any $q\in \overline{ \mathbb{Q}}$ with 0<|q|<1, the numbers A ₁(q), A _2i+1(q), A _2j+1(q) are algebraically independent over $\overline{ \mathbb{Q}}$ . Furthermore, the q-series A _2i+1(q) and A _2j+1(q) are algebraically dependent over $\overline{ \mathbb{Q}}(q)$ if and only if (i,j)=(1,3).     

The sharp Markov-Nikol’skii inequality for algebraic polynomials in the spaces L q and L 0 on a closed interval

In this paper, an inequality between the L _q -mean of the kth derivative of an algebraic polynomial of degree n ≥ 1 and the L ₀-mean of the polynomial on a closed interval is obtained. Earlier, the author obtained the best constant in this inequality for k = 0, q ∈ [0,∞] and 1 ≤ k ≤ n, q ∈ {0} ∪ [1,∞]. Here a newmethod for finding the best constant for all 0 ≤ k ≤ n, q ∈ [0,∞], and, in particular, for the case 1 ≤ k ≤ n, q ∈ (0, 1), which has not been studied before is proposed. We find the order of growth of the best constant with respect to n as n → ∞ for fixed k and q.     

On symmetric basic sequences in lorentz sequence spaces II

It is shown that if {y _n} is a block of type I of a symmetric basis {x _n} in a Banach spaceX, then {y _n} is equivalent to {x _n} if and only if the closed linear span [y _n] of {y _n} is complemented inX. The result is used to study the symmetric basic sequences of the dual space of a Lorentz sequence spaced(a, p). Let {x _n,f _n} be the unit vector basis ofd(a, p), for 1≤p<+∞. It is shown that every infinite-dimensional subspace ofd(a, p) (respectively, [f _n] has a complemented subspace isomorphic tol _p (respectively,l _q, 1/p+1/q=1 when 1<p<+∞ andc ₀ whenp=1) and numerous other results on complemented subspaces ofd(a, p) and [f _n] are obtained. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions such that [f _n] have exactly two non-equivalent symmetric basic sequences. Finally, we exhibit a Banach spaceX with symmetric basis {x _n} such that every symmetric block basic sequence of {x _n} spans a complemented subspace inX butX is not isomorphic to eitherc ₀ orl _p, 1≤p<+∞.     

Orlicz-Hardy spaces and their duals

We establish the theory of Orlicz-Hardy spaces generated by a wide class of functions.The class will be wider than the class of all the N-functions.In particular,we consider the non-smooth atomic decomposition.The relation between Orlicz-Hardy spaces and their duals is also studied.As an application,duality of Hardy spaces with variable exponents is revisited.This work is different from earlier works about Orlicz-Hardy spaces H(Rn)in that the class of admissible functions is largely widened.We can deal with,for example,(r)≡(rp1(log(e+1/r))q1,0r 6 1,rp2(log(e+r))q2,r1,with p1,p2∈(0,∞)and q1,q2∈(.∞,∞),where we shall establish the boundedness of the Riesz transforms on H(Rn).In particular,is neither convex nor concave when 0p11p2∞,0p21p1∞or p1=p2=1 and q1,q20.If(r)≡r(log(e+r))q,then H(Rn)=H(logH)q(Rn).We shall also establish the boundedness of the fractional integral operators I of order∈(0,∞).For example,I is shown to be bounded from H(logH)1./n(Rn)to Ln/(n.)(log L)(Rn)for 0n.     

Integer valued polynomials over function fields

Let A be an integrally closed subring of a function field K defined over a finite field. In this paper we investigate whether the subring of K[X], consisting of those polynomials ƒ with ƒ[A]⊂A, has an A-basis {g_i: i ∈ ℤZ_≥0}, with deg (g_i) = i.     

Riesz Transforms of Schr?dinger Operators on Manifolds

We consider Schr?dinger operators A=???+V on L ^p (M) where M is a complete Riemannian manifold of homogeneous type and V=V ⁺?V ^? is a signed potential. We study boundedness of Riesz transform type operators $\nabla A^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ and $|V|^{\frac{1}{2}}A^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ on L ^p (M). When V ^? is strongly subcritical with constant ????(0,1) we prove that such operators are bounded on L ^p (M) for $p\in(p_{0}', 2]$ where $p_{0}'=1$ if N??2, and $p_{0}'=(\frac{2N}{(N-2)(1-\sqrt{1-\alpha })})' \in (1, 2)$ if N>2. We also study the case p>2. With additional conditions on V and M we obtain boundedness of ?A ^?1/2 and |V|^1/2 A ^?1/2 on L ^p (M) for p??(1,inf?(q ₁,N)) where q ₁ is such that $\nabla(-\Delta)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ is bounded on L ^r (M) for r??[2,q ₁).     

Enumerating pairs of permutations with the same up-down form

For each sequence q = {q_i} = ± 1, i = 1, …, n−1 let N_q = the number of permutations σ of 1, 2, …, n with up-down sequence sgn(σ_i+1 − σ_i) = q_i, i = 1,…, n−1. Clearly Σ_q (N_q/n!) =1 but what is the probability p_n = Σ_q (N_q/n!)² that two random permutations have the same up-down sequence? We show that p_n = (Kⁿ⁻¹1,1) where 1 = 1(x, y) ≡ 1 and Kⁿ⁻¹ is the iterated integral operator with Kφ(x, y) = ∫₀¹∫₀¹ K(x, y; x′, y′)φ(x′, y′) dx′ dy′ on L²[0, 1] × [0, 1] where K(x, y; x′, y′) is 1 if (x− x′)(y − y′) > 0 otherwise, and (f, g) = ∫₀¹∫₀¹fg. The eigenexpression of K yeilds p_n ∼ cαⁿ as n → ∞, where c ≈ 1.6, α ≈ 0.55.We also give a recursion formula for a polynomial whose coefficients are the frequencies of all the possible forms.     

On the Diameter of Wenger Graphs

Let q be a prime power, the field of q elements, and n≥1 a positive integer. The Wenger graph W _n (q) is defined as follows: the vertex set of W _n (q) is the union of two copies P and L of (n+1)-dimensional vector spaces over , with two vertices (p ₁,p ₂,…,p _n+1)∈P and [l ₁,l ₂,…,l _n+1]∈L being adjacent if and only if l _i +p _i =p ₁ l _i−1 for 2≤i≤n+1. Graphs W _n (q) have several interesting properties. In particular, it is known that when connected, their diameter is at most 2n+2. In this note we prove that the diameter of connected Wenger graphs is 2n+2 under the assumption that 1≤n≤q−1.     

The minimum diameter of orientations of complete multipartite graphs

Given a graphG, letB be the family of strong orientations ofG, and define A pair {p,q} of integers is called aco-pair if 1 p q . A multiset {p, q, r} of positive integers is called aco-triple if {p, q} and {p, r} are co-pairs. LetK(p₁, p₂,..., p_n) denote the completen-partite graph havingp _i vertices in theith partite set.In this paper, we show that if {p ₁, p₂,...,p_n} can be partitioned into co-pairs whenn is even, and into co-pairs and a co-triple whenn is odd, then(K(p₁, p₂,..., p_n)) = 2 provided that (n,p ₁, p₂, p₃, p₄) (4, 1, 1, 1, 1). This substantially extends a result of Gutin [3] and a result of Koh and Tan [4].     

Anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces and their applications

Let p ∈(0, 1], q ∈(0, ∞] and A be a general expansive matrix on Rn. We introduce the anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz space H~(p,q)_A(R~n) associated with A via the non-tangential grand maximal function and then establish its various real-variable characterizations in terms of the atomic and the molecular decompositions, the radial and the non-tangential maximal functions, and the finite atomic decompositions. All these characterizations except the ∞-atomic characterization are new even for the classical isotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces on Rn.As applications, we first prove that Hp,q A(Rn) is an intermediate space between H~(p1,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p2,q2)_A(R~n) with 0 p1 p p2 ∞ and q1, q, q2 ∈(0, ∞], and also between H~(p,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p,q2)_A(R~n) with p ∈(0, ∞)and 0 q1 q q2 ∞ in the real method of interpolation. We then establish a criterion on the boundedness of sublinear operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) into a quasi-Banach space; moreover, we obtain the boundedness of δ-type Calder′on-Zygmund operators from H~(p,∞)_A(R~n) to the weak Lebesgue space L~(p,∞)(R~n)(or to H~p_A(R~n)) in the ln λcritical case, from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,q)(R~n)(or to H~(p,q)_A(R~n)) with δ∈(0,(lnλ)/(ln b)], p ∈(1/(1+,δ),1] and q ∈(0, ∞], as well as the boundedness of some Calderon-Zygmund operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,∞)(R~n), where b := | det A|,λ_:= min{|λ| : λ∈σ(A)} and σ(A) denotes the set of all eigenvalues of A.     

Partial integrability of Hamiltonian systems with homogeneous potential

In this paper we consider systems with n degrees of freedom given by the natural Hamiltonian function of the form $$ H = \frac{1} {2}p^T Mp + V(q), $$ where q = (q ₁, …, q _n ) ∈ ? ⁿ , p = (p ₁, …, p _n ) ∈ ? ⁿ , are the canonical coordinates and momenta, M is a symmetric non-singular matrix, and V (q) is a homogeneous function of degree k ∈ ?*. We assume that the system admits 1 ? m < n independent and commuting first integrals F ₁, … F _m . Our main results give easily computable and effective necessary conditions for the existence of one more additional first integral F _m+1 such that all integrals F ₁, … F _m+1 are independent and pairwise commute. These conditions are derived from an analysis of the differential Galois group of variational equations along a particular solution of the system. We apply our result analysing the partial integrability of a certain n body problem on a line and the planar three body problem.     

The number of subsets without a fixed circular distance

An explicit formula is derived for the number of k-element subsets A of {1,2,…, n} such that no two elements in A are at “circular” distance q, i.e., if i ϵ A and 1 ⩽ i ⩽ n − q (resp. n − q + 1 ⩽ i ⩽ n) then i + q ∉ A (resp. i + q − n ∉ A).
