Essential norm of the difference of weighted composition operators

We study differences of weighted composition operators between weighted Banach spaces H _ν ^∞ of analytic functions with weighted sup-norms and give an expression for the essential norm of these differences. We apply our result to estimate the essential norm of differences of composition operators acting on Bloch-type spaces.

Zeros of functions in weighted spaces with mixed norm

In the spaces of analytic functions f in the unit disk with mixed norm and measure satisfying the Δ₂-condition, sharp necessary conditions on subsequences of zeros $\{ z_{n_k } (f)\} $ of the function f are obtained in terms of subsequences of numbers {n _k }. These conditions can be used to define, in the spaces with mixed norm, subsets of functions with certain extremal properties; these subsets provide answers to a number of questions about the zero sets of the spaces under consideration and, in particular, about weighted Bergman spaces.     

Essential norm of differences of weighted composition operators between weighted-type spaces on the unit ball

We find an asymptotically equivalent expression to the essential norm of differences of weighted composition operators between weighted-type spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit ball in C^N. As a consequence we characterize the compactness of these operators. The boundedness of these operators is also characterized.     

Essential norm and a new characterization of weighted composition operators from weighted Bergman spaces and Hardy spaces into the Bloch space

In this paper, we give some estimates for the essential norm and a new characterization for the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators from weighted Bergman spaces and Hardy spaces to the Bloch space.     

Multiresolution weighted norm equivalences and applications

Summary. We establish multiresolution norm equivalences in weighted spaces L ² _w ((0,1)) with possibly singular weight functions w(x)≥0 in (0,1). Our analysis exploits the locality of the biorthogonal wavelet basis and its dual basis functions. The discrete norms are sums of wavelet coefficients which are weighted with respect to the collocated weight function w(x) within each scale. Since norm equivalences for Sobolev norms are by now well-known, our result can also be applied to weighted Sobolev norms. We apply our theory to the problem of preconditioning p-Version FEM and wavelet discretizations of degenerate elliptic and parabolic problems from finance.

Two-weight norm inequalities for fractional maximal functions and fractional integral operators on weighted Morrey spaces

In this paper, we consider weighted norm inequalities for fractional maximal operators and fractional integral operators. For suitable weights, we prove the two-weight norm inequalities for both operators on weighted Morrey spaces.     

Perturbation bounds for weighted polar decomposition in the weighted unitarily invariant norm

In this paper, by generalizing the ideas of the (generalized) polar decomposition to the weighted polar decomposition and the unitarily invariant norm to the weighted unitarily invariant norm, we present some perturbation bounds for the generalized positive polar factor, generalized nonnegative polar factor, and weighted unitary polar factor of the weighted polar decomposition in the weighted unitarily invariant norm. These bounds extend the corresponding recent results for the (generalized) polar decomposition. In addition, we also give the comparison between the two perturbation bounds for the generalized positive polar factor obtained from two different methods.

Norm-attaining weighted composition operators on weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions

We investigate weighted composition operators that attain their norm on weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disc of type H ^∞. Applications for composition operators on weighted Bloch spaces are given.     

Essential norm of composition operators between weighted Hardy spaces

An asymptotic formula for the essential norm of composition operators acting between two weighted Hardy spaces H_w1 and H_w2, where w₁ and w₂ are two admissible weight functions, is given. The boundedness of the operators is also characterized.     

Weighted norm inequalities for operators of potential type and fractional maximal functions

In this paper, we study two-weight norm inequalities for operators of potential type in homogeneous spaces. We improve some of the results given in [6] and [8] by significantly weakening their hypotheses and by enlarging the class of operators to which they apply. We also show that corresponding results of Carleson type for upper half-spaces can be derived as corollaries of those for homogeneous spaces. As an application, we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for a large class of weighted norm inequalities for maximal functions under various assumptions on the measures or spaces involved.Research of the first author was supported in part by NSERC grant A5149.Research of the second author was supported in part by NSF grant DMS93-02991.     

Generalized hypergeometric functions: product identities and weighted norm inequalities

We describe a method of obtaining weighted norm inequalities for generalized hypergeometric functions. This method is based upon our recent convolution theorem and some classical hypergeometric identities. In particular, it is shown that some product identities involving the divergent hypergeometric series lead to the convergent hypergeometric inequalities. A number of the new weighted norm inequalities for the Gaussian hypergeometric function, confluent hypergeometric function, and other generalized hypergeometric functions are presented.     

Weighted norm inequalities for L'-valued integral operators and applications

In this paper we prove weighted norm estimates for vector valued integral operators with positive kernels. In addition weighted norm inequalities for certain general vector valued singular integral operators are obtained. Applications of these results include a generalized Sobolev Theorem for Lizorkin-Triebel spaces and estimates of various Littlewood-Paley operators.     

Inequalities for Hardy-type operators on the cone of decreasing functions in a weighted Orlicz space

Modular inequalities and inequalities for the norms of Hardy-type operators on the cone Ω of positive functions and on the cone of positive decreasing functions with common weight and common Young function in a weighted Orlicz space are considered. A reduction theorem for the norm of the Hardy operator on the cone Ω is obtained. It is shown that this norm is equivalent to the norm of a modified operator on the cone of all positive functions in the space under consideration. It is proved that the modified operator is a generalized Hardy-type operator. The equivalence of modular inequalities on the cone Ω and modified modular inequalities on the cone of all positive functions in the Orlicz space is shown. A criterion for the validity of such inequalities in general Orlicz spaces is obtained and refined for weighted Lebesgue spaces.     

Essential norm of products of multiplication composition and differentiation operators on weighted Bergman spaces

Let ψ be a holomorphic function on the open unit disk D and φ a holomorphic self-map of D. Let C_φ,M_ψ and D denote the composition, multiplication and differentiation operator, respectively. We find an asymptotic expression for the essential norm of products of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disk. This paper is a continuation of our recent paper concerning the boundedness of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces.     

Composition operators with maximal norm on weighted Bergman spaces

We prove that any composition operator with maximal norm on one of the weighted Bergman spaces (in particular, on the space ) is induced by a disk automorphism or a map that fixes the origin. This result demonstrates a major difference between the weighted Bergman spaces and the Hardy space , where every inner function induces a composition operator with maximal norm.

     

Counting functions of zeros of analytic functions in spaces with mixed norm

We study the behavior of counting functions of zeros of analytic in a disk functions in spaces with mixed norm, in particular, the Bergman-Dzhrbashyan spaces with standard weights. We obtain corollaries that strengthen the known results on zero sets of spaces with mixed norm.     

Toeplitz operators on weighted Hardy and Besov spaces

We obtain estimates of the norm of Toeplitz operators on weighted Hardy and Besov spaces. As an application we give characterizations of some spaces of pointwise multipliers.     

New characterizations for differences of weighted differentiation composition operators from a Bloch-type space to a weighted-type space

We found several new equivalent characterizations of the boundedness of the differences of weighted differentiation composition operators from Bloch-type spaces to weighted-type spaces. Especially, we estimated its essential norm in terms of the n-th power of the induced analytic self-maps on the unit disk, which can provide a new and simple compactness criterion. Moreover, we applied our results to a classical example.     

A note about Volterra operators on weighted Banach spaces of entire functions

We characterize boundedness, compactness and weak compactness of Volterra operators acting between different weighted Banach spaces of entire functions with sup‐norms in terms of the symbol g; thus we complement recent work by Bassallote, Contreras, Hernández‐Mancera, Martín and Paul 3 for spaces of holomorphic functions on the disc and by Constantin and Peláez 16 for reflexive weighted Fock spaces.     

Estimating the norm of conformal maps in Korenblum-Orlicz spaces

We use Young’s functions to define the Korenblum-Orlicz spaces as a generalization of the Korenblum spaces and we establish some of its properties. We show that the norm of the conformal maps in Korenblum-Orlicz spaces can be dominated by a certain expression involving the supremum over the inverse image of certain sectors. This extend a result of J. Ramos Fernández in (C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Paris, 344(5):291–294, 2007) for α-Bloch spaces.
