Limiting subdifferentials of indefinite integrals

We compute the limiting subdifferential of the indefinite integral of the form where f is an essentially bounded measurable function, or a function continuous on an interval containing (except for, possibly, ), or a step-function which has a countable number of steps around . The related problem of computing the Aumann integral of the limiting subdifferential mapping ∂f(⋅), where f is a Lipschitz real function defined on an open set U⊂Rn, is also investigated.     

Spectral conditions for admissibility of evolution equations in Hilbert space

We study properties of solutions of the evolution equation , where B is a closable operator on the space AP(R,H) of almost periodic functions with values in a Hilbert space H such that B commutes with translations. The operator B generates a family of closed operators on H such that (whenever eiλtx∈D(B)). For a closed subset Λ⊂R, we prove that the following properties (i) and (ii) are equivalent: (i) for every function f∈AP(R,H) such that σ(f)⊆Λ, there exists a unique mild solution u∈AP(R,H) of Eq. (∗) such that σ(u)⊆Λ; (ii) is invertible for all λ∈Λ and .     

Generalized almost periodic and ergodic solutions of linear differential equations on the half-line in Banach spaces

The Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem states that the indefinite integral y=Pφ of an almost periodic (ap) is again ap if y is bounded and the Banach space X does not contain a subspace isomorphic to c₀. This is here generalized in several directions: Instead of it holds also for φ defined only on a half-line , instead of ap functions abstract classes with suitable properties are admissible, can be weakened to φ in some “mean” class , then ; here contains all f∈L¹_loc with in for all h>0 (usually strictly); furthermore, instead of boundedness of y mean boundedness, y in some , or in , ergodic functions, suffices. The Loomis-Doss result on the almost periodicity of a bounded Ψ for which all differences Ψ(t+h)−Ψ(t) are ap for h>0 is extended analogously, also to higher order differences. Studying “difference spaces” in this connection, we obtain decompositions of the form: Any bounded measurable function is the sum of a bounded ergodic function and the indefinite integral of a bounded ergodic function. The Bohr-Neugebauer result on the almost periodicity of bounded solutions y of linear differential equations P(D)y=φ of degree m with ap φ is extended similarly for ; then provided, for example, y is in some with U=L^∞ or is totally ergodic and, for the half-line, Reλ?0 for all eigenvalues P(λ)=0. Analogous results hold for systems of linear differential equations. Special case: φ bounded and Pφ ergodic implies Pφ bounded. If all Reλ>0, there exists a unique solution y growing not too fast; this y is in if , for quite general .     

Compactness of Hardy-Steklov operator

Pair of weights u, v is characterized so that the Hardy-Steklov operator is compact between weighted Lebesgue spaces L^p(u) and L^q(v), where 1<p,q<∞, a,b are certain increasing functions and f?0. The compactness of the conjugate operator is also studied.     

Estimates of weighted Hardy-Littlewood averages on the p-adic vector space

In the p-adic vector space , we characterize those non-negative functions ψ defined on for which the weighted Hardy-Littlewood average is bounded on (1?r?∞), and on . Also, in each case, we find the corresponding operator norm ‖Uψ‖.     

Liouville type theorems for p-harmonic maps

Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold and let N be a Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that at all x∈M and at some point x₀∈M, where μ₀>0 is the least eigenvalue of the Laplacian acting on L²-functions on M. Let 2?q?p. Then any q-harmonic map of finite q-energy is constant. Moreover, if N is a Riemannian manifold of non-positive scalar curvature, then any q-harmonic morphism of finite q-energy is constant.     

Growth theorems and coefficient bounds for univalent holomorphic mappings which have parametric representation

Let B be the unit ball in Cn with respect to an arbitrary norm and let f(z,t) be a g-Loewner chain such that e−tf(z,t)−z has a zero of order k+1 at z=0. In this paper, we obtain growth and covering theorems for . Moreover, we consider coefficient bounds and examples of mappings in .     

Large solutions of semilinear elliptic equations under the Keller-Osserman condition

We consider the equation Δu=p(x)f(u) where p is a nonnegative nontrivial continuous function and f is continuous and nondecreasing on [0,∞), satisfies f(0)=0, f(s)>0 for s>0 and the Keller-Osserman condition where . We establish conditions on the function p that are necessary and sufficient for the existence of positive solutions, bounded and unbounded, of the given equation.     

Congruences involving Bernoulli polynomials

Let {B_n(x)} be the Bernoulli polynomials. In the paper we establish some congruences for , where p is an odd prime and x is a rational p-integer. Such congruences are concerned with the properties of p-regular functions, the congruences for and the sum , where h(d) is the class number of the quadratic field of discriminant d and p-regular functions are those functions f such that are rational p-integers and for n=1,2,3,… . We also establish many congruences for Euler numbers.     

Sections of convex bodies and splitting problem for selections

Let and be any convex-valued lower semicontinuous mappings and let be any linear surjection. The splitting problem is the problem of representation of any continuous selection f of the composite mapping L(F₁;F₂) in the form f=L(f₁;f₂), where f₁ and f₂ are some continuous selections of F₁ and F₂, respectively. We prove that the splitting problem always admits an approximate solution with fi being an ε-selection (Theorem 2.1). We also propose a special case of finding exact splittings, whose occurrence is stable with respect to continuous variations of the data (Theorem 3.1) and we show that, in general, exact splittings do not exist even for the finite-dimensional range.     

Additive maps on standard operator algebras preserving parts of the spectrum

Let and be standard operator algebras on infinite dimensional complex Banach spaces X and Y, respectively, and let Φ be a unital additive surjection from  onto . We introduce thirteen parts of the spectrum for elements in  and , and prove that if Φ preserves any one of these parts of the spectrum, then it is either an isomorphism or an anti-isomorphism.     

C-Weierstrass for compact sets in Hilbert space

The C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for any compact subset X of a Hilbert space . The same theorem is also proved for Whitney 1-jets on X when X satisfies the following further condition: There exist finite dimensional linear subspaces such that ?_n?1H_n is dense in and π_n(X)=X∩H_n for each n?1. Here, is the orthogonal projection. It is also shown that when X is compact convex with and satisfies the above condition, then C¹(X) is complete if and only if the C¹-Whitney extension theorem holds for X. Finally, for compact subsets of , an extension of the C¹-Weierstrass approximation theorem is proved for C¹ maps with compact derivatives.

Lipschitz and piecewise-C regularity for scalar minimizers of affine simple integrals

Lipschitz, piecewise-C¹ and piecewise affine regularity is proved for AC minimizers of the “affine” integral , under general hypotheses on , , and with superlinear growth at infinity.The hypotheses assumed to obtain Lipschitz continuity of minimizers are unusual: ρ(·) and ?(·) are lsc and may be both locally unbounded (e.g., not in L_loc¹), provided their quotient ?/ρ(·) is locally bounded. As to h(·), it is assumed lsc and may take +∞ values freely.
