Shape-Preserving Widths of Weighted Sobolev-Type Classes of Positive, Monotone, and Convex Functions on a Finite Interval

   Abstract. Let I be a finite interval, r∈ N and ρ(t)= dist {t, I} , t∈ I . Denote by Δ ^s ₊ L _q the subset of all functions y∈ L _q such that the s -difference Δ ^s _τ y(t) is nonnegative on I ,

Kolmogorov and Linear Widths of Weighted Sobolev-Type Classes on a Finite Interval, II

Let I be a finite interval, r and ρ(t)=dist{t, ∂I}, tI. Denote by Δ^s₊W^r_p, α, 0α<∞, the class of functions x on I with the seminorm x^(r)ρ^α_Lp1 for which Δ^s_τx, τ>0, is nonnegative on I. We obtain two-sided estimates of the Kolmogorov widths d_n(Δ^s₊W^r_p, α)_Lq and of the linear widths d_n(Δ^s₊W^r_p, α)^lin_Lq, s=0, 1, …, r+1.

Maximal Monotone Operators, Convex Functions and a Special Family of Enlargements

This work establishes new connections between maximal monotone operators and convex functions. Associated to each maximal monotone operator, there is a family of convex functions, each of which characterizes the operator. The basic tool in our analysis is a family of enlargements, recently introduced by Svaiter. This family of convex functions is in a one-to-one relation with a subfamily of these enlargements. We study the family of convex functions, and determine its extremal elements. An operator closely related to the Legendre–Fenchel conjugacy is introduced and we prove that this family of convex functions is invariant under this operator. The particular case in which the operator is a subdifferential of a convex function is discussed.     

Sobolev-Type Classes of Functions with Values in a Metric Space. II

We prove equivalence of the definitions by the author and by Korevaar and Schoen of the Sobolev classes of mappings of a domain of an arithmetic n-dimensional space to a metric space.     

To the Theory of Sobolev-Type Classes of Functions with Values in a Metric Space

We study some classes of functions with values in a complete metric space which can be considered as analogs of the Sobolev spaces W _p ¹ . Earlier the author considered the case of functions on a domain of ? ⁿ . Here we study the general case of mappings on an arbitrary Lipschitz manifold. We give necessary auxiliary facts, consider some examples, and describe some methods of construction of lower semicontinuous functionals on the classes W _p ¹ (M), where M is a Lipschitz manifold.     

Kolmogorov Entropy for Classes of Convex Functions

Kolmogorov ε-entropy of a compact set in a metric space measures its metric massivity and thus replaces its dimension which is usually infinite. The notion quantifies the compactness property of sets in metric spaces, and it is widely applied in pure and applied mathematics. The ε-entropy of a compact set is the most economic quantity of information that permits a recovery of elements of this set with accuracy ε. In the present article we study the problem of asymptotic behavior of the ε-entropy for uniformly bounded classes of convex functions in L _p -metric proposed by A.I.   Shnirelman. The asymptotic of the Kolmogorov ε-entropy for the compact metric space of convex and uniformly bounded functions equipped with L _p -metric is ε ^−1/2, ε→0₊.

The Average Widths and Non-linear Widths of the Classes of Multivariate Functions with Bounded Moduli of Smoothness

The classes of the multivariate functions with bounded moduli on Rd and Td are given and their average σ-widths and non-linear n-widths are discussed. The weak asymptotic behaviors are established for the corresponding quantities.     

On Bregman-Type Distances for Convex Functions and Maximally Monotone Operators

Given two point to set operators, one of which is maximally monotone, we introduce a new distance in their graphs. This new concept reduces to the classical Bregman distance when both operators are the gradient of a convex function. We study the properties of this new distance and establish its continuity properties. We derive its formula for some particular cases, including the case in which both operators are linear monotone and continuous. We also characterize all bi-functions D for which there exists a convex function h such that D is the Bregman distance induced by h.     

Some Weighted Energy Classes of Plurisubharmonic Functions

In this paper we study relations between the weighted energy class E_cmathcal{E}_{chi} introduced by S. Benelkourchi, V. Guedj and A. Zeriahi recently with Cegrell’s classes Emathcal{E} and Nmathcal{N}. Next we establish a generalized comparison principle for the operator M _χ . As an application, we prove a version of existence of solutions of Monge–Ampère type equations in the class E_c(H,W)mathcal{E}_{chi}(H,Omega).     

Sections of Functions and Sobolev-Type Inequalities

We study functions of two variables whose sections by the lines parallel to the coordinate axis satisfy the Lipschitz condition of order 0 < α ≤ 1. We prove that if for a function f the Lip α-norms of these sections belong to the Lorentz space L ^p,1(?) (p = 1/α), then f can be modified on a set of measure zero so as to become bounded and uniformly continuous on ?². For α = 1 this gives an extension of Sobolev’s theorem on continuity of functions of the space W ₁ ^2,2 (?²). We show that the exterior L ^p,1-norm cannot be replaced by a weaker Lorentz L ^p,q -norm with q > 1.     

On Partial Classes Containig All Monotone and Zero-Preserving Total Boolean Functions

We describe sets of partial Boolean functions being closed under the operations of superposition. For any class A of total functions we define the set ??(A) consisting of all partial classes which contain precisely the functions of A as total functions. The cardinalities of such sets ??(A) can be finite or infinite. We state some general results on ??(A). In particular, we describe all 30 closed sets of partial Boolean functions which contain all monotone and zero-preserving total Boolean functions.     

Best Approximations and Widths of Classes of Convolutions of Periodic Functions of High Smoothness

We consider classes of 2π-periodic functions that are represented in terms of convolutions with fixed kernels Ψ _β ⁻ whose Fourier coefficients tend to zero at exponential rate. We determine exact values of the best approximations of these classes in the uniform and integral metrics. In several cases, we determine the exact values of the Kolmogorov, Bernstein, and linear widths for these classes in the metrics of the spaces C and L. __________ Translated from Ukrains'kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 57, No. 7, pp. 946–971, July, 2005.
