Sequence Spaces l p,q in Probabilistic Characterizations of Weak Type Operators

We study operators (not necessarily linear) defined on a quasi-Bahach space X and taking values in the space of real-valued Lebesgue-measurable functions. Factorization theorems for linear and superlinear operators with values in the space are proved with the help of the Lorentz sequence spaces . Sequences of functions belonging to fixed bounded sets in the spaces are characterized for and . The possibility of distinguishing weak type operators (bounded in the space ) from operators factorizable through is obtained in terms of sequences of independent random variables. A criterion under which an operator is symmetrically bounded in order in , is established. Some refinements of the above-mentioned results are obtained for translation shift-invariant sets and operators. Bibliography: 30 titles.

A Uniqueness Theorem for the Dual Problem Associated to a Variational Problem with Linear Growth

Uniqueness is proved for solutions of the dual problem that is associated with the minimum problem among the mappings with prescribed Dirichlet boundary data and for smooth strictly convex integrands f of linear growth. No further assumptions on f or its conjugate function are imposed, in particular, is not assumed to be strictly convex. A special solution of the dual problem is seen to be a mapping into the image of , which immediately implies uniqueness. Bibliography: 13 titles.

Solvability “in the small” of a nonstationary flow problem for an ideal incompressible fluid,I

For the system of Euler equations and the incompressibility equation one considers the following initial-boundary value problem: the field of velocities is prescribed at the initial moment and for all to one gives the following boundary conditions: on the entire boundary of the normal component of the velocity is prescribed and on that part S₁ of the boundary of where inflow occurs one prescribes the value of the velocity =rot |S₂, whose components satisfy a certain necessary equality, derived in the paper. For such a problem one proves its unique solvability on a small interval of time.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.
