Boundedness of the Cesàro Operator in Hardy Spaces

The Ces\aro operator $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha}$ is defined by \begin{equation*} (\mathcal{C}_{\alpha}f)(x) = \int_{0}^{1}t^{-1}f\left( t^{-1}x \right)\alpha (1-t)^{\alpha -1}\,dt~, \end{equation*} where $f$ denotes a function on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha}$, $\alpha >0$, is a bounded operator in the Hardy space $H^{p}$ for every $0 < p \leqq 1$.

Regularity of Positive Solutions for an Integral System on Heisenberg Group

In this paper, we are concerned with the properties of positive solutions of the following nonlinear integral systems on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$, \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} u(x)=\int_{\mathbb{H}^n}\frac{v^{q}(y)w^{r}(y)}{|x^{-1}y|^\alpha|y|^\beta}\,dy,\\ v(x)=\int_{\mathbb{H}^n}\frac{u^{p}(y)w^{r}(y)}{|x^{-1}y|^\alpha|y|^\beta}\,dy,\\ w(x)=\int_{\mathbb{H}^n}\frac{u^{p}(y)v^{q}(y)}{|x^{-1}y|^\alpha|y|^\beta}\,dy,\\ \end{array}\right.\end{equation} for $x\in \mathbb{H}^n$, where $0<\alpha 1$ satisfying $\frac{1}{p+1} $+ $\frac{1}{q+1} + \frac{1}{r+1} = \frac{Q+α+β}{Q}.$ We show that positive solution triples $(u,v,w)\in L^{p+1}(\mathbb{H}^n)\times L^{q+1}(\mathbb{H}^n)\times L^{r+1}(\mathbb{H}^n)$ are bounded and they converge to zero when $|x|→∞.$     

Monotonicity of some functions involving the gamma and psi functions

Let , where is Euler's gamma function. We determine conditions for the numbers so that the function is strongly completely monotonic on . Through this result we obtain some inequalities involving the ratio of gamma functions and provide some applications in the context of trigonometric sum estimation. We also give several other examples of strongly completely monotonic functions defined in terms of and functions. Some limiting and particular cases are also considered.

     

Inverse scattering up to smooth functions for the Dirac-ZS-AKNS system

We consider the Dirac-ZS-AKNS system (1) where (the space of functions with n derivatives in L ¹), (2) We consider for (1) the transition matrix and, in addition, for the case of the Dirac system (i.e. for the selfadjoint case the scattering matrix We can divide main results of the present work into three parts. I. We show that the inverse scattering transform and the inverse Fourier transform give the same solution, up to smooth functions, of the inverse scattering problem for (1). More preciseley, we show that, under condition (2) with , the following formulas are valid: (3) and, in addition, for the case of the Dirac system (4) where denotes the factor space. II. Using (3), (4), we give the characterization of the transition matrix and the scattering matrix for the case of the Dirac system under condition (2) with III. As applications of the results mentioned above, we show that 1) for any real-valued initial data , the Cauchy problem for the sh-Gordon equation has a unique solution such that and for any t > 0, 2) in addition, for , for such a solution the following formula is valid: where denotes the space of functions locally integrable with n derivatives. We give also a review of preceding results.

On the uniform convergence of Cauchy principal values of quasi-interpolating splines

In this paper, quasi-interpolating splines are used to approximate the Cauchy principal value integral $$J(w_{\alpha \beta } f;\lambda ): = \smallint - _{ - 1}^1 w_{\alpha \beta } (x)\frac{{f(x)}}{{x - \lambda }}dx, \lambda \in ( - 1,1)$$ where $w_{\alpha \beta } (x): = (1 - x)^\alpha (1 + x)^\beta ,\alpha ,\beta > - 1.$ . We prove uniform convergence for the quadrature rules proposed here and give an algorithm for the numerical evaluation of these rules.

Optimality estimations for approximately midconvex functions

Let V be a convex subset of a normed space and let a nondecreasing function α : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) be given. A function ${f : V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}}$ is called α-midconvex if $$f\left(\frac{x+y}{2} \right)\leq \frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}+\alpha(\|x-y\|) \quad \,{\rm for}\, x,y\in V.$$ It is known (Tabor in Control Cybern., 38/3:656–669, 2009) that if ${f : V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}}$ is α-midconvex, locally bounded above at every point of V then $$f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)+P_\alpha(\|x-y\|) \quad \,{\rm for}\, x, y \in V,t \in [0,1],$$ where ${P_\alpha(r):=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{1}{2^k} \alpha(2{\rm dist}(2^kr, \mathbb{Z}))}$ for ${r \in \mathbb{R}}$ . We show that under some additional assumptions the above estimation cannot be improved.     

Dahlberg's bilinear estimate for solutions of divergence form complex elliptic equations

We consider divergence form elliptic operators , defined in , where the coefficient matrix is , uniformly elliptic, complex and -independent. Using recently obtained results concerning the boundedness and invertibility of layer potentials associated to such operators, we show that if in , then for any vector-valued we have the bilinear estimate

The result is new even in the case of real symmetric coefficients and generalizes an analogous result of Dahlberg for harmonic functions on Lipschitz graph domains. We also identify the domain of the generator of the Poisson semigroup for the equation in

     

Beyond the Trudinger-Moser supremum

Let Ω be a bounded, smooth domain in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ . We consider the functional $$I(u) = \int_\Omega e^{u^2}\,dx$$ in the supercritical Trudinger-Moser regime, i.e. for ${\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2dx > 4\pi}$ . More precisely, we are looking for critical points of I(u) in the class of functions ${u \in H_0^1 (\Omega )}$ such that ${\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2 \, dx = 4\, \pi \, k\, (1+\alpha)}$ , for small α > 0. In particular, we prove the existence of 1-peak critical points of I(u) with ${\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2dx = 4\pi(1 + \alpha)}$ for any bounded domain Ω, 2-peak critical points with ${\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2dx = 8\pi(1 + \alpha)}$ for non-simply connected domains Ω, and k-peak critical points with ${\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2 dx = 4k \pi(1 + \alpha)}$ if Ω is an annulus.     

Bivariate version of the Hahn-Sonine theorem

We consider orthogonal polynomials in two variables whose derivatives with respect to are orthogonal. We show that they satisfy a system of partial differential equations of the form where , , is a vector of polynomials in and for , and is an eigenvalue matrix of order for . Also we obtain several characterizations for these polynomials. Finally, we point out that our results are able to cover more examples than Bertran's.
