Weighted Weierstrass' theorem with first derivatives

We characterize the set of functions which can be approximated by continuous functions with the norm ‖f_‖L^∞(w) for every weight w. This fact allows to determine the closure of the space of polynomials in L^∞(w) for every weight w with compact support. We characterize as well the set of functions which can be approximated by smooth functions with the norm

‖f_‖W1,∞(w₀,w₁):=‖f_‖L^∞(w₀)+‖f^′_‖L^∞(w₁),     

Pointwise Lipschitz functions on metric spaces

For a metric space X, we study the space D^∞(X) of bounded functions on X whose pointwise Lipschitz constant is uniformly bounded. D^∞(X) is compared with the space LIP^∞(X) of bounded Lipschitz functions on X, in terms of different properties regarding the geometry of X. We also obtain a Banach-Stone theorem in this context. In the case of a metric measure space, we also compare D^∞(X) with the Newtonian-Sobolev space N1,∞(X). In particular, if X supports a doubling measure and satisfies a local Poincaré inequality, we obtain that D^∞(X)=N1,∞(X).     

Characterization of Multiplier Spaces with Daubechies Wavelets

We characterize the multiplier spaces from Sobolev spaces to L² with Daubechies wavelets without using capacity.     

Continuous embeddings of Besov-Morrey function spaces

We study embeddings of spaces of Besov-Morrey type, M Bp1,q1s1,r1(Rd ) → M Bp2 ,q2s2 ,r2 (R d ), and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for this. Moreover, we can also characterise the special weighted situation Bp1 ,r1s1 (R d , w) → M Bp2 ,q2s2 ,r2 (Rd ) for a Muckenhoupt A ∞ weight w, with wα(x) = |x|α , α -d1, as a typical example.     

Imbedding potentials in tent spaces

We obtain characterizations of positive Borel measures μ on so that the nonisotropic potential space K_α[L^p(dσ)] is imbedded in the tent space T₂^q(dμ), where 1<p,q<+∞. We deduce characterizations for pointwise multipliers of the space H_α^p.     

On a conjecture of Brouwer involving the connectivity of strongly regular graphs

In this paper, we study a conjecture of Andries E. Brouwer from 1996 regarding the minimum number of vertices of a strongly regular graph whose removal disconnects the graph into non-singleton components.We show that strongly regular graphs constructed from copolar spaces and from the more general spaces called Δ-spaces are counterexamples to Brouwer?s Conjecture. Using J.I. Hall?s characterization of finite reduced copolar spaces, we find that the triangular graphs T(m), the symplectic graphs Sp(2r,q) over the field Fq (for any q prime power), and the strongly regular graphs constructed from the hyperbolic quadrics O⁺(2r,2) and from the elliptic quadrics O⁻(2r,2) over the field F₂, respectively, are counterexamples to Brouwer?s Conjecture. For each of these graphs, we determine precisely the minimum number of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph into non-singleton components. While we are not aware of an analogue of Hall?s characterization theorem for Δ-spaces, we show that complements of the point graphs of certain finite generalized quadrangles are point graphs of Δ-spaces and thus, yield other counterexamples to Brouwer?s Conjecture.We prove that Brouwer?s Conjecture is true for many families of strongly regular graphs including the conference graphs, the generalized quadrangles GQ(q,q) graphs, the lattice graphs, the Latin square graphs, the strongly regular graphs with smallest eigenvalue −2 (except the triangular graphs) and the primitive strongly regular graphs with at most 30 vertices except for few cases.We leave as an open problem determining the best general lower bound for the minimum size of a disconnecting set of vertices of a strongly regular graph, whose removal disconnects the graph into non-singleton components.     

Homomorphisms and composition operators on algebras of analytic functions of bounded type

Let U and V be convex and balanced open subsets of the Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. In this paper we study the following question: given two Fréchet algebras of holomorphic functions of bounded type on U and V, respectively, that are algebra isomorphic, can we deduce that X and Y (or X^* and Y^*) are isomorphic? We prove that if X^* or Y^* has the approximation property and H_wu(U) and H_wu(V) are topologically algebra isomorphic, then X^* and Y^* are isomorphic (the converse being true when U and V are the whole space). We get analogous results for H_b(U) and H_b(V), giving conditions under which an algebra isomorphism between H_b(X) and H_b(Y) is equivalent to an isomorphism between X^* and Y^*. We also obtain characterizations of different algebra homomorphisms as composition operators, study the structure of the spectrum of the algebras under consideration and show the existence of homomorphisms on H_b(X) with pathological behaviors.     

L 2-estimates with Levi-singular weight, and existence for\overline \partial

We give a symplectic proof of the link between pseudoconvexity of domains ofC ⁿ and of their boundaries (cf. [7, Th. 2.6.12]). Our approach also allows us to treat boundaries of codimension >1. We then extend the estimates by Hörmander in [7, Ch. 4, 5] and [6] toL ²-norms which haveC ¹ but notC ² weights and under a less restrictive assumption of weakq-pseudoconvexity. (A special trick is needed as a substitute for the method of thelowest positive eigenvalue of [6].)     

The Qualocation Method for Symm's Integral Equation on a Polygon

This paper discusses the convergence of the qualocation method for Symm's integral equation on closed polygonal boundaries in IR². Qualocation is a Petrov-Galerkin method in which the outer integrals are performed numerically by special quadrature rules. Before discretisation a nonlinear parametrisation of the polygon is introduced which varies more slowly than arc-length near each corner and leads to a transformed integral equation with a regular solution. We prove that the qualocation method using smoothest splines of any order k on a uniform mesh (with respect to the new parameter) converges with optimal order O (h^k). Furthermore, the method is shown to produce superconvergent approximations to linear functionals, retaining the same high convergence rates as in the case of a smooth curve.     

Excess of a class of g-frames

In this paper, we study the relationship between frames for the super Hilbert space H⊕H and g-frames for H with respect to C². We show that a g-frame associated with a frame for H⊕H remains a g-frame whenever any one of its elements is removed. Furthermore, we show that the excess of such a g-frame is at least dimH.     

Duality in Segal-Bargmann spaces

For α>0, the Bargmann projectionPα is the orthogonal projection from L²(γα) onto the holomorphic subspace , where γα is the standard Gaussian probability measure on Cn with variance (2α)⁻ⁿ. The space is classically known as the Segal-Bargmann space. We show that Pα extends to a bounded operator on Lp(γαp/2), and calculate the exact norm of this scaled Lp Bargmann projection. We use this to show that the dual space of the Lp-Segal-Bargmann space is an Lp^′ Segal-Bargmann space, but with the Gaussian measure scaled differently: (this was shown originally by Janson, Peetre, and Rochberg). We show that the Bargmann projection controls this dual isomorphism, and gives a dimension-independent estimate on one of the two constants of equivalence of the norms.     

A bilinear version of Orlicz-Pettis theorem

Given three Banach spaces X, Y and Z and a bounded bilinear map , a sequence x=n(xn)⊆X is called B-absolutely summable if is finite for any y∈Y. Connections of this space with are presented. A sequence x=n(xn)⊆X is called B-unconditionally summable if is finite for any y∈Y and z^∗∈Z^∗ and for any M⊆N there exists xM∈X for which _∑n∈M〈B(xn,y),z^∗〉=〈B(xM,y),z^∗〉 for all y∈Y and z^∗∈Z^∗. A bilinear version of Orlicz-Pettis theorem is given in this setting and some applications are presented.     

Essential spectra of quasi-parabolic composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions

In this work we study the essential spectra of composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions which might be termed as “quasi-parabolic.” This is the class of composition operators on H² with symbols whose conjugate with the Cayley transform on the upper half-plane are of the form φ(z)=z+ψ(z), where ψ∈H^∞(H) and ℑ(ψ(z))>?>0. We especially examine the case where ψ is discontinuous at infinity. A new method is devised to show that this type of composition operator fall in a C*-algebra of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers. This method enables us to provide new examples of essentially normal composition operators and to calculate their essential spectra.     

Approximation by polynomials and smooth functions in Sobolev spaces with respect to measures

The density of polynomials is straightforward to prove in Sobolev spaces W^k,p((a,b)), but there exist only partial results in weighted Sobolev spaces; here we improve some of these theorems. The situation is more complicated in infinite intervals, even for weighted L^p spaces; besides, in the present paper we have proved some other results for weighted Sobolev spaces in infinite intervals.     

The Boundedness of Calderón-Zygmund Operators by Wavelet Characterization

This article deals with the boundedness properties of Calderón-Zygmund operators on Hardy spaces Hp(Rn). We use wavelet characterization of Hp(Rn) to show that a Calderón-Zygmund operator T with T*1 = 0 is bounded on Hp(Rn), n/n+ε p ≤ 1, where ε is the regular exponent of kernel of T . This approach can be applied to the boundedness of operators on certain Hardy spaces without atomic decomposition or molecular characterization.     

Metaplectic representation on Wiener amalgam spaces and applications to the Schrödinger equation

We study the action of metaplectic operators on Wiener amalgam spaces, giving upper bounds for their norms. As an application, we obtain new fixed-time estimates in these spaces for Schrödinger equations with general quadratic Hamiltonians and Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation with potentials V(x)=±²|x|.     

Rearrangement invariance of Rademacher multiplicator spaces

Let X be a rearrangement invariant function space on [0,1]. We consider the Rademacher multiplicator space Λ(R,X) of all measurable functions x such that x⋅h∈X for every a.e. converging series h=∑anrn∈X, where (rn) are the Rademacher functions. We study the situation when Λ(R,X) is a rearrangement invariant space different from L^∞. Particular attention is given to the case when X is an interpolation space between the Lorentz space Λ(φ) and the Marcinkiewicz space M(φ). Consequences are derived regarding the behaviour of partial sums and tails of Rademacher series in function spaces.     

Boundedness of rough oscillatory singular integral on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces

We give the boundedness on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces for oscillatory singular integral operators with polynomial phases and rough kernels of the form eiP(x)Ω(x)|x|⁻ⁿ, where Ω∈Llog⁺L(Sn−1) is homogeneous of degree zero and satisfies certain cancellation condition.     

A rough hypersingular integral operator with an oscillating factor

We study certain hypersingular integrals TΩ,α,βf defined on all test functions f∈S(Rn), where the kernel of the operator TΩ,α,β has a strong singularity |y|^−n−α(α>0) at the origin, an oscillating factor ei|y|^−β(β>0) and a distribution Ω∈Hr(Sn−1), 0<r<1. We show that TΩ,α,β extends to a bounded linear operator from the Sobolev space to the Lebesgue space Lp for β/(β−α)<p<β/α, if the distribution Ω is in the Hardy space Hr(Sn−1) with 0<r=(n−1)/(n−1+γ)(0<γ?α) and β>2α>0.
