The local Hölder exponent for the entropy of real unimodal maps

We consider the topological entropy h(θ) of real unimodal maps as a function of the kneading parameter θ (equivalently, as a function of the external angle in the Mandelbrot set). We prove that this function is locally Hölder continuous where h(θ) > 0, and more precisely for any θ which does not lie in a plateau the local Hölder exponent equals exactly, up to a factor log 2, the value of the function at that point. This confirms a conjecture of Isola and Politi (1990), and extends a similar result for the dimension of invariant subsets of the circle.     

The polynomial sub-Riemannian differentiability of some Hölder mappings of Carnot groups

The polynomial sub-Riemannian differentiability is established for the large classes of Hölder mappings in the sub-Riemannian sense, namely, the classes of smooth mappings, their graphs, and the graphs of Lipschitz mappings in the sub-Riemannian sense defined on nilpotent graded groups. We also describe some special bases that carry the sub-Riemannian structure of the preimage to the image.     

A relaxed estimate of the degree of approximation by Fourier series in generalized Hölder metric

The aim of the paper is to give a relaxed estimate pertaining to the degree of approximation of the partial sums of Fourier series in a new Banach space of functions introduced by Das, Nath and Ray [2]. Furthermore, applying our new result, we verify, under certain natural conditions, that some classical means have the same approximation degree as the partial sums.     

Hölder continuity of solutions of parabolic equations with variable nonlinearity exponent

In this paper, we prove the Hölder continuity of solutions of parabolic equations containing the p(x, t)-Laplacian. The degree p must satisfy the so-called logarithmic condition.     

The exponent of convergence of poincaré series

This paper continues the systematic study of the exponent of convergence (G) of a Fuchsian groupG begun byA. F. Beardon. The object is to show that in various senses (G) is a continuous function ofG. In view of the incompleteness of our knowledge about (G) considerable attention is paid to illustrative examples.

The Weighted Fourier Inequality,Polarity, and Reverse Hölder Inequality

We examine the problem of the Fourier transform mapping one weighted Lebesgue space into another, by studying necessary conditions and sufficient conditions which expose an underlying geometry. In the necessary conditions, this geometry is connected to an old result of Mahler concerning the the measure of a convex body and its geometric polar being essentially reciprocal. An additional assumption, that the weights must belong to a reverse Hölder class, is used to formulate the sufficient condition.     

Lipschitz and Hölder continuity results for some functions of cones

We prove the Lipschitz continuity of the maximal angle function on the set of closed convex cones in a Hilbert space. A similar result is obtained for the minimal angle function. On the other hand, we prove that the incenter of a solid cone and the circumcenter of a sharp cone behave in a locally Hölderian manner.     

Estimation of the pointwise Hölder exponent of hidden multifractional Brownian motion using wavelet coefficients

We propose a wavelet-based approach to construct consistent estimators of the pointwise Hölder exponent of a multifractional Brownian motion, in the case where this underlying process is not directly observed. The relative merits of our estimator are discussed, and we introduce an application to the problem of estimating the functional parameter of a nonlinear model.

On Hölder maps of cubes

A map of metric spaces f: X → Y satisfying the inequality $$ \left| {f(x) - f(y)} \right| \leqslant C\left| {x - y} \right|^\alpha $$ for some C and α and all x, y ∈ X is called a Hölder map with exponent α. V. I. Arnold posed the following problem: Does there exist a Höldermap from the square onto the cube with exponent 2/3? The firstmain theorem of this paper gives a general method for constructing Höldermaps of compact metric spaces. This construction yields, in particular, a dimension-raising map f: I ⁿ → I ^m with Hölder exponent arbitrarily close to m/n for m > n > 1 and a map I ¹ → I ^m with Hölder exponent 1/m. The second main theorem states the nonexistence of a regular fractal map f: I ⁿ → I ^m with Hölder exponent n/m from the n-cube onto the m-cube for m < 2n.     

Hölder categories

Hölder categories are invented to provide an axiomatic foundation for the study of categories of archimedean lattice-ordered algebraic structures. The basis of such a study is Hölder’s Theorem (1908), stating that the archimedean totally ordered groups are precisely the subgroups of the additive real numbers ? with the usual addition and ordering, which remains the single most consequential result in the studies of lattice-ordered algebraic systems since Birkhoff and Fuchs to the present. This study originated with interest in W*, the category of all archimedean lattice-ordered groups with a designated strong order unit, and the ?-homomorphisms which preserve those units, and, more precisely, with interest in the epireflections on W*. In the course of this study, certain abstract notions jumped to the forefront. Two of these, in particular, seem to have been mostly overlooked; some notion of simplicity appears to be essential to any kind of categorical study of W*, as are the quasi-initial objects in a category. Once these two notions have been brought into the conversation, a Hölder category may then be defined as one which is complete, well powered, and in which (a) the initial object I is simple, and (b) there is a simple quasi-initial coseparator R. In this framework it is shown that the epireflective hull of R is the least monoreflective class. And, when I = R — that is, the initial element is simple and a coseparator — a theorem of Bezhanishvili, Morandi, and Olberding, for bounded archimedean f-algebras with identity, can be be generalized, as follows: for any Hölder category subject to the stipulation that the initial object is a simple coseparator, every uniformly nontrivial reflection — meaning that the reflection of each non-terminal object is non-terminal — is a monoreflection. Also shown here is the fact that the atoms in the class of epireflective classes are the epireflective hulls of the simple quasi-initial objects. From this observation one easily deduces a converse to the result of Bezhanishvili, Morandi, and Olberding: if in a Hölder category every epireflection is a monoreflection, then the initial object is a coseparator.
