Higher order Riesz transforms associated with Bessel operators

In this paper we investigate Riesz transforms R _μ ^(k) of order k≥1 related to the Bessel operator Δ_μ f(x)=-f”(x)-((2μ+1)/x)f’(x) and extend the results of Muckenhoupt and Stein for the conjugate Hankel transform (a Riesz transform of order one). We obtain that for every k≥1, R _μ ^(k) is a principal value operator of strong type (p,p), p∈(1,∞), and weak type (1,1) with respect to the measure dλ(x)=x ^2μ+1  dx in (0,∞). We also characterize the class of weights ω on (0,∞) for which R _μ ^(k) maps L ^p (ω) into itself and L ¹(ω) into L ^1,∞(ω) boundedly. This class of weights is wider than the Muckenhoupt class of weights for the doubling measure dλ. These weighted results extend the ones obtained by Andersen and Kerman.

Self-adjointness of some infinite-dimensional elliptic operators and application to stochastic quantization

We consider an operator K˚ϕ = Lϕ−: <CDU(x), Dϕ> in a Hilbert space H, where L is an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator, U∈W ^1,4(H, μ) and μ is the invariant measure associated with L. We show that K˚ is essentially self-adjoint in the space L ²(H, ν) where ν is the “Gibbs” measure ν(dx) = Z ^−:1 e ^−:2U(x) dx. An application to Stochastic quantization is given.

Wavelet expansions of fractal measures

Let μ be a measure on ℝⁿ that satisfies the estimate μ(B _r(x))≤cr ^α for allx ∈ ℝⁿ and allr ≤ 1 (B _r(x) denotes the ball of radius r centered atx. Let ϕ _j,k ^(ɛ) (x)=2 ^nj2ϕ^(ɛ)(2 ^j x-k) be a wavelet basis forj ∈ ℤ, κ ∈ ℤⁿ, and ∈ ∈E, a finite set, and letP _j (T)=Σ_ɛ,k <T,ϕ _j,k ^(ɛ) >ϕ _j,k ^(ɛ) denote the associated projection operators at levelj (T is a suitable measure or distribution). Iff ∈Ls ^p(dμ) for 1 ≤p ≤ ∞, we show thatP _j(f dμ) ∈ L^p(dx) and ||P _j (fdμ)||L _p(dx)≤c2 ^{j((n-α)/p′))}||f||L _p(dμ) for allj ≥ 0. We also obtain estimates for the limsup and liminf of ||P _j (fdμ)||L _p(dx) under more restrictive hypotheses. Communicated by Guido Weiss     

On Cesáro summability of fourier series with respect to double complete orthonormal systems

Let {ϕn(x), n = 1, 2,...} be an arbitrary complete orthonormal system on the interval I:= [0, 1]which consists of a.e. bounded functions. Suppose that E ₀ ⊂ I ² is any Lebesgue measurable set such that μ₂ E ₀ > 0, and φ, φ(0) = 0, is an increasing continuous function on [0, ∞) with φ(u) = o(u ln u) as u → ∞. Then there exist a function f ∈ L¹(I ²) and a set E ₀ ^′ , ⊂ E ₀, μ₂ E ₀ ^′ > 0, such that

On the degree of continuity and smoothness of sine and cosine Fourier transforms of Lebesgue integrable functions

We consider complex-valued functions f∈L ¹(ℝ₊), where ℝ₊:=[0,∞), and prove sufficient conditions under which the sine Fourier transform [^(f)]_s\hat{f}_{s} and the cosine Fourier transform [^(f)]_c\hat{f}_{c} belong to one of the Lipschitz classes Lip (α) and lip (α) for some 0<α≦1, or to one of the Zygmund classes Zyg (α) and zyg (α) for some 0<α≦2. These sufficient conditions are best possible in the sense that they are also necessary if f(x)≧0 almost everywhere.     

A BMO estimate for the multilinear singular integral operator

The behavior on the space L∞((R)n) for the multilinear singular integral operator defined by TAf(x)=∫Rn Ω(x-y)/|x-y|n 1(A(x)-A(y)-(△)A(y)(x-y))f(y)dy is considered, where Ω is homogeneous of degree zero, integrable on the unit sphere and has vanishing moment of order one, A has derivatives of order one in BMO((R)n). It is proved that if Ω satisfies some minimum size condition and an L1-Dini type regularity condition, then for f ∈ L∞((R)n), TAf is either infinite almost everywhere or finite almost everywhere, and in the latter case, TAf ∈ BMO((R)n).     

Toeplitz operators related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators

In this paper, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and Lipschitz function b ε (ℝⁿ) is discussed from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), , and from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to Triebel-Lizorkin space . We also obtain the boundedness of generalized Toeplitz operator Θ _α0 ^b from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), . All the above results include the corresponding boundedness of commutators. Moreover, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and BMO function b is discussed on L ^p(ℝⁿ), 1 < p < ∞.

Construction of positive definite cubature formulae and approximation of functions via Voronoi tessellations

Let Ω ⊂ ℝ ^d be a compact convex set of positive measure. In a recent paper, we established a definiteness theory for cubature formulae of order two on Ω. Here we study extremal properties of those positive definite formulae that can be generated by a centroidal Voronoi tessellation of Ω. In this connection we come across a class of operators of the form L_n[f](x): = ?_i=1ⁿ f_i(x)(f(y_i) + á?f(y_i), x-y_i?)L_n[f](\boldsymbol{x}):= \sum_{i=1}^n \phi_i(\boldsymbol{x})(f(\boldsymbol{y}_i) + \langle\nabla f(\boldsymbol{y}_i), \boldsymbol{x}-\boldsymbol{y}_i\rangle), where y₁,..., y_n\boldsymbol{y}_1,\dots, \boldsymbol{y}_n are distinct points in Ω and {ϕ ₁, ..., ϕ _n } is a partition of unity on Ω. We present best possible pointwise error estimates and describe operators L _n with a smallest constant in an L ^p error estimate for 1 ≤ p < ∞ . For a generalization, we introduce a new type of Voronoi tessellation in terms of a twice continuously differentiable and strictly convex function f. It allows us to describe a best operator L _n for approximating f by L _n [f] with respect to the L ^p norm.     

Normal forms for stochastic differential equations

Summary.   We address the following problem from the intersection of dynamical systems and stochastic analysis: Two SDE dx _t = ∑ _{j =0} ^m f _j (x _t )∘dW _t ^j and dx _t =∑ _{j =0} ^m g _j (x _t )∘dW _t ^j in ℝ ^d with smooth coefficients satisfying f _j (0)=g _j (0)=0 are said to be smoothly equivalent if there is a smooth random diffeomorphism (coordinate transformation) h(ω) with h(ω,0)=0 and Dh(ω,0)=id which conjugates the corresponding local flows,

An extension of Hawkes theorem on the Hausdorff dimension of a Galton–Watson tree

Let ? be the genealogical tree of a supercritical multitype Galton–Watson process, and let Λ be the limit set of ?, i.e., the set of all infinite self-avoiding paths (called ends) through ? that begin at a vertex of the first generation. The limit set Λ is endowed with the metric d(ζ, ξ) = 2 ⁻ⁿ where n = n(ζ, ξ) is the index of the first generation where ζ and ξ differ. To each end ζ is associated the infinite sequence Φ(ζ) of types of the vertices of ζ. Let Ω be the space of all such sequences. For any ergodic, shift-invariant probability measure μ on Ω, define Ω_μ to be the set of all μ-generic sequences, i.e., the set of all sequences ω such that each finite sequence v occurs in ω with limiting frequency μ(Ω(v)), where Ω(v) is the set of all ω′?Ω that begin with the word v. Then the Hausdorff dimension of Λ∩Φ⁻¹ (Ω_μ) in the metric d is

Explicit formulas are derived for the spectral function of double multiplication operator containing a multiplicative evolution inL ²(X, μ)-space and a convolution-type operator inL ²(ℝ ⁿ )-spaces. Symmetric convolution and multiplication operators are considered inL ²(X, μ) andL ²(ℝ ⁿ )-spaces. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 67, No. 6, pp. 803–810, June, 2000.
