Real analytic curves in Fréchet spaces and their duals

The following results are presented: 1) a characterization through the Liouville property of those Stein manifoldsU such that every germ of holomorphic functions on xU can be developed locally as a vector-valued Taylor series in the first variable with values inH(U); 2) ifT is a surjective convolution operator on the space of scalar-valued real analytic functions, one can find a solutionu of the equationT u=f which depends holomorphically on the parameterz wheneverf depends in the same manner. These results are obtained as an application of a thorough study of vector-valued real analytic maps by means of the modern functional analytic tools. In particular, we give a tensor product representation and a characterization of those Fréchet spaces or LB-spacesE for whichE-valued real analytic functions defined via composition with functionals and via suitably convergent Taylor series are the same.

Characterizations of nuclearity in Fréchet spaces

We extend the result of A. Bellow (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA73, No. 6 (1976), 1798–1799) on the characterization of finite-dimensional Banach spaces, to a characterization of nuclearity for Fréchet spaces. Those spaces are nuclear iff every Pettis-bounded and Pettis-uniformly integrable amart is mean convergent. Several other characterizations are given.     

Resolutions of the identity in Fréchet spaces

It is a classical result that every Bade -complete Boolean algebra of (selfadjoint) projections in a separable Hilbert space coincides with the projections forming the resolution of the identity of some bounded selfadjoint operator. This result is extended to the setting of separable Fréchet spaces. Namely, every Bade -complete Boolean algebra of projections in such a space coincides with the resolution of the identity of some (continuous) scalar-type spectral operator having spectrum a compact subset of.     

Block sequences in nuclear Fréchet spaces with basis

It is shown that a block sequence in a nuclear Fréchet space with a basis has a block extension if and only if the subspace it generates is complemented. In addition, a short proof is given of the following result of Dubinsky and Robinson: a nuclear Fréchet space is isomorphic to = R^N, N = {1,2,...} if it has a basis such that any block sequence with blocks of length 2 of any permutation of this basis has a block extension. It is shown that a similar result holds without considering permutations of the basis if the length of the blocks is arbitrary.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 17, No. 6, pp. 899–908, June, 1975.The author wishes to thank B. S. Mityagin for calling his attention to this problem and for his valuable suggestions.     

A generalized vector-valued variational principle in Fréchet spaces

In the framework of Frechet spaces, we give a generalized vector-valued Ekeland＇s variational principle, where the perturbation involves the subadditive functions of countable generating semi-norms. By modifying and developing the method of Cammaroto and Chinni, we obtain a density theorem on extremal points of the vector-valued variational principle, which extends and improves the related known results.     

Sufficient sets in weighted Fréchet spaces of entire functions

Under study are sufficient sets in Fréchet spaces of entire functions with uniform weighted estimates. We obtain general results on the a priori overflow of these sets and introduce the concept of their minimality. We also establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of points on the complex plane to be a minimal sufficient set for a weighted Fréchet space. Applications are given to the problem of representation of holomorphic functions in a convex domain with certain growth near the boundary by exponential series.     

Weak and strong convergence of amarts in Fréchet spaces

Several new characterizations of nuclearity in Fréchet spaces are proved. The most important one states tat a Fréchet space is nuclear if and only if every mean bounded amart is strongly a.s. convergent. This extends the result in [A. Bellow, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA73, No. 6 (1976), 1798–1799] in a more positive way, and gives a different proof of it. The results of Brunel and Sucheston [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. A (1976), 1011–1014], are extended to yield the same characterization of reflexivity of a Fréchet space in terms of weak convergence a.s. of weak amarts.     

Fixed point theory in Fréchet spaces for Volterra type operators

New fixed point theorems for maps (single and multivalued) between Fréchet spaces are presented. The proof relies on fixed point theory in Banach spaces and viewing a Fréchet space as the projective limit of a sequence of Banach spaces.     

Double convergence and products of Fréchet spaces

The paper is devoted to convergence of double sequences and its application to products. In a convergence space we recognize three types of double convergences and points, respectively. We give examples and describe their structure and properties. We investigate the relationship between the topological and convergence closure product of two Fréchet spaces. In particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the topological product of two compact Hausdorff Fréchet spaces to be a Fréchet space.     

Intersections of Fréchet Schwartz spaces and their duals

In this article the structure of the intersections of a Fréchet Schwartz space F and a (DFS)-space E=ind _n E _n is investigated. A complete characterization of the locally convex properties of E ⋃ F is given. This space is boraological if and only if the inductive limit E + F is complete. The results are based on recent progress on the structure of (LF)-spaces. The article includes examples of (FS)-spaces F and (DFS)-spaces E such that there are sequentially continuous linear forms on E ⋃ F which are not continuous, thus answering a question of Langenbruch. Acknowledgement: The results in this article were obtained during the author’s stay at the University of Paderborn, Germany, during the academic year 1994/95.

Quasi-reflexive Fréchet spaces and contractively power bounded operators

In this paper we introduce a new class of operators acting on a locally convex space. We show that for some Fréchet spaces all these operators are mean ergodic. This leads to the conclusion that the classes of reflexive and non-reflexive Fréchet spaces are, in a sense, close to each other.     

Extrapolation spaces and controllability of impulsive semilinear functional differential inclusions with infinite delay in Fréchet spaces

In this article, we investigate some classes of semilinear impulsive functional differential inclusions with infinite delay. It is assumed that the linear part is possibly neither densely defined nor it satisfies the Hille–Yosida condition on a Banach space, namely the extrapolated space. Our approach is based on the theory of extrapolation spaces combined with a recent Frigon nonlinear alternative for multivalued admissible contractions in Fréchet spaces.     

Fréchet approach in second-order optimization

We state a certain second-order sufficient optimality condition for functions defined in infinite-dimensional spaces by means of generalized Fréchet’s approach to second-order differentiability. Moreover, we show that this condition generalizes a certain second-order condition obtained in finite-dimensional spaces.     

Uniqueness results for fractional functional differential equations with infinite delay in Fréchet spaces

In this article, a recent nonlinear alternative for contraction maps in Fréchet spaces due to Frigon and Granas [1998, Résultats de type Leray-Schauder pour des contractions sur des espaces de Fréchet, Ann. Sci. Math. Québec 22, 161–168] is used to investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for fractional order functional differential equations with infinite delay.
