Approximation of Weak Convergence

The relations between the k-uniform convexity of Banach spaces and both the real and the complex method of interpolation are studied. Estimates on the behaviour of the moduli of k-rotundity are given.     

Some Remarks on Orlicz-Lorentz Spaces

Spaces of Lorentz type called Orlicz-Lorentz spaces are studied. There are given necessary and sufficient conditions for the spaces to be order continuous, separable, KB-spaces and to contain isometric or isomorphic copy of l∞ or c₀. Moreover a criterion for strict convexity of these spaces is found.     

Best mean approximation by splines satisfying generalized convexity constraints

A characterization of the best L₁-approximation to a continuous function by classes of fixed-knot polynomial splines which satisfy generalized convexity constraints is presented and uniqueness is shown. Included is the possibility of specifying the positivity, monotonicity, or convexity of the class. The proof of uniqueness uses recently developed results for Hermite-Birkhoff interpolation by splines.     

Interpolation for weak Orlicz spaces with M Δ condition

An interpolation theorem for weak Orlicz spaces generalized by N-functions satisfying M _Δ condition is given. It is proved to be true for weak Orlicz martingale spaces by weak atomic decomposition of weak Hardy martingale spaces. And applying the interpolation theorem, we obtain some embedding relationships among weak Orlicz martingale spaces.

Wavelet decompositions of L 2-functionals

Based on distribution-theoretical definitions of L ₂ and Sobolev spaces given by Werner in [P. Werner (1970). A distribution-theoretical approach to certain Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces. J. Math. Anal. Appl., 29, 19–78.] real interpolation, Besov type spaces and approximation spaces with respect to multiresolution approximations are considered. The key for the investigation are generalized moduli of smoothness introduced by Haf in [H. Haf (1992). On the approximation of functionals in Sobolev spaces by singular integrals. Applicable Analysis, 45, 295–308.]. Those moduli of smoothness allow to connect the concept of L ₂-functionals with more recent developments in multiscale analysis, see e.g. [W. Dahmen (1995). Multiscale analysis, approximation, and interpolation spaces. In: C.K. Chui and L.L. Schumaker (Eds.), Approximation Theory VIII, Vol. 2: Wavelets and Multilevel Approximation, pp. 47–88.]. In particular, we derive wavelet characterizations for the Sobolev spaces introduced by Werner and establish stable wavelet decompositions of L ₂-functionals. Generalizations to more general spaces of functionals and applications are also mentioned.     

A Class of Periodic Function Spaces and Interpolation on Sparse Grids

We present a unified approach to error estimates of periodic interpolation on equidistant, full, and sparse grids for functions from a scale of function spaces which includes L ₂-Sobolev spaces, the Wiener algebra and the Korobov spaces.     

Extension Theorems for Spaces Arising from Approximation by Translates of a Basic Function

We establish extension theorems for functions in spaces which arise naturally in studying interpolation by radial basic functions. These spaces are akin in some way to the non-integer-valued Sobolev spaces, although they are considerably more general. Such extensions allow us to establish local error estimates in a way which we make precise in the introductory section of our paper. There are many other applications of these fundamental results, including improved L_p error estimates for interpolation by shifts of a single basic function, but these applications have been left to a later paper.     

On property (β) in Banach lattices, Calderón-Lozanowskii and Orlicz-Lorentz spaces

The geometry of Calderón-Lozanowskii spaces, which are strongly connected with the interpolation theory, was essentially developing during the last few years (see [4, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17]). On the other hand many authors investigated property (β) in Banach spaces (see [7, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26]). The first aim of this paper is to study property (β) in Banach function lattices. Namely a criterion for property (β) in Banach function lattice is presented. In particular we get that in Banach function lattice property (β) implies uniform monotonicity. Moreover, property (β) in generalized Calderón-Lozanowskii function spaces is studied. Finally, it is shown that in Orlicz-Lorentz function spaces property (β) and uniform convexity coincide.     

Atomic decompositions of Banach-spacevalued martingales

Several theorems for atomic decompositions of Banach-space-valued martingales are proved. As their applications, the relationship among some martingale spaces such asH _α(X) and_ρ H _α in the case 0< α⩽ are studied. It is shown that there is a close connection between the results and the smoothness and convexity of the value spaces.

Representation,interpolation, and reiteration theorems for generalized approximation spaces

We show that the representation theorem for classical approximation spaces can be generalized to spaces A(X,l ^q (ℬ))={f∈X:{E _n (f)}∈l ^q (ℬ)} in which the weighted l ^q -space l ^q (ℬ) can be (more or less) arbitrary. We use this theorem to show that generalized approximation spaces can be viewed as real interpolation spaces (defined with K-functionals or main-part K-functionals) between couples of quasi-normed spaces which satisfy certain Jackson and Bernstein-type inequalities. Especially, interpolation between an approximation space and the underlying quasi-normed space leads again to an approximation space. Together with a general reiteration theorem, which we also prove in the present paper, we obtain formulas for interpolation of two generalized approximation spaces.

The cotype and uniform convexity of unitary ideals

Information about geometric properties, such as uniform convexity and smoothness, type and cotype, of a unitary Banach idealS _E is obtained from properties of the symmetric Banach sequence spaceE. In particularS _E has cotype 2 ifE does. The proofs use real interpolation and complex geometry. Partially supported by NSF Grant MCS-8201044     

Separation of two convex sets in convexity structures

A convexity structure satisfies the separation propertyS ₄ if any two disjoint convex sets extend to complementary half-spaces. This property is investigated for alignment spaces,n-ary convexities, and graphs. In particular, it is proven that

1. ann-ary convexity isS ₄ iff every pair of disjoint polytopes with at mostn vertices can be separated by complementary half spaces, and
2. an interval convexity isS ₄ iff it satisfies the analogue of the Pasch axiom of plane geometry.

A characterization of bipartite and weakly modular spaces withS ₄ convexity is given in terms of forbidden subgraphs.     

BMO spaces associated with semigroups of operators

We study BMO spaces associated with semigroup of operators on noncommutative function spaces (i.e. von Neumann algebras) and apply the results to boundedness of Fourier multipliers on non-abelian discrete groups. We prove an interpolation theorem for BMO spaces and prove the boundedness of a class of Fourier multipliers on noncommutative L _p spaces for all 1 < p < ∞, with optimal constants in p.     

A New Class of Perfect Fréchet Spaces

This paper deals with a new class of perfect Frèchet spaces which can be obtained by interpolation of echelon spaces: l_p,q[a_m,n]. We determine the reflexive, Montel, Schwartz, totally reflexive, totally Montel and nuclear spaces l_p,q[a_m,n]. We also derive results on closed subspaces on the spaces (l_p,q)(N).     

Absolutely summing multipliers on abstract Hardy spaces

We study summing multipliers from Banach spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc of the complex plane to the complex Banach sequence lattices. The domain spaces are abstract variants of the classical Hardy spaces generated by the complex symmetric spaces. Applying interpolation methods, we prove the Hausdorff Young and Hardy-Littlewood type theorems. We show applications of these results to study summing multipliers from the Hardy-Orlicz spaces to the Orlicz sequence lattices. The obtained results extend the well-known results for the Hp spaces.     

Some geometric properties of integral modules

Day's characterization of those spaces 1^p(X_i) which are uniformly convex, in terms of the moduli of convexity of the X_i, is generalized for arbitrary integral modules on measure spaces (K,m) and simplified when m is finite. For this latter purpose a lemma on the moduli of convexity and of smoothness is proved which incidentally gives a further necessary condition for the existence of integral modules in given direct integrals. Further the notions of strict convexity and smoothness of an integral module are related to those of its components.     

On Interpolation Spaces with the Gelfand-Phillips Property

In this paper we study interpolation spaces generated by some interpolation functors. We show that under some conditions for Banach couples X and Y the spaces dual to the orbits of elements are Gelfand—Philips spaces. Consequently, the ideal of nuclear operators from X to Y contains a copy of l¹. We give also an interpolation theorem for limited operators.     

A basic norm equivalence for the theory of multilevel methods

Summary Subspace decompositions of finite element spaces based onL ₂-like orthogonal projections play an important role for the construction and analysis of multigrid like iterative methods. Recently several authors have proved the equivalence of the associated discrete norms with theH ¹-norm. The present paper gives an elementary, self-contained derivation of this result which is based on the use ofK-functionals known from the theory of interpolation spaces.     

Interpolation properties of scales of Banach spaces

It is shown that any interpolation scales joining weight spaces L _p or similar spaces have many remarkable properties. Not only are such scales intrinsically interpolation scales, but an analog of the Arazy-Cwikel theorem describing interpolation spaces between the spaces from the scale is valid.
