In this note, the authors show the boundedness of the maximal commutators of Bocher-Riesz operator B ^δ and that of maximal commutator B _δ1* ^b generated by B ^δ and a Lipschitz function b mapping from M _p ^q (R ⁿ ) into BMO space and also maps from M _p ^q (R ⁿ ) into L _(β−n/q).     

On integral means of star-like functions

We study univalent holomorphic functions in the unit diskU = {z: |z| < 1} of the formf(z)=z+∑ _n=2 ^∞ a _n z ⁿ that satisfy the condition Re zf’(z)/f(z) > α with α∈ [0, 1) inU. Some integral means of such funcions are estimated.     

Analytic Discs and Extension of CR Functions

Let M be a manifold of X = C ⁿ , A a small analytic disc attached to M, z ^o a point of A where A is tangent to M, z ¹ another point of A where M extends to a germ of manifold M ₁ with boundary M. We prove that CR functions on M which extend to M ₁ at z ¹ also extend at z ^o to a new manifold M ₂. The directions M ₁ and M ₂ point to, are related by a sort of connection associated to A which is dual to the connection obtained by attaching 'partial analytic lifts' of A to the co-normal bundle to M in X.

The present paper establishes a complete result on approximation by rational functions with prescribed numerator degree in L ^pspaces for 1 < p < ∞ and proves that if f(x)∈L ^p _[-1,1] changes sign exactly l times in (-1,1), then there exists r(x)∈R _n ^l such that

On a Class of Generalized Lacunary Difference Sequence Spaces Defined by Orlicz Functions

In this article we introduce the generalized lacunary difference sequence spaces [N_θ,M,Δ~m]_0,[N_θ,M,Δ~m]_1 and [N_θ,M,Δ~m]_∞using m~(th)- difference.We study their properties like completeness,solidness,symmetricity.Also we obtain some inclusion relations involving the spaces [N_θ,M,Δ~m]_0,[N_θ,M,Δ~m]_1 and[N_θ,M,Δ~m]_∞and the Cesàro summable and strongly Cesàro summable sequences.     

Function Spaces with Exponential Weights I

In this paper we define weighted function spaces of type B^s_pq(u) and F^s_pq(u) on the Euclidean space IRⁿ, where u is a weight function of at most exponential growth. In particular, u(x) = exp(±|χ|) is an admissible weight. We prove some basic properties of these spaces, such as completeness and density of the smooth functions.     

Distance Functions and Almost Global Solutions of Eikonal Equations

Consider a function u defined on  ⁿ , except, perhaps, on a closed set of potential singularities . Suppose that u solves the eikonal equation ‖Du‖ = 1 in the pointwise sense on  ⁿ \, where Du denotes the gradient of u and ‖·‖ is a norm on  ⁿ with the dual norm ‖·‖_?. For a class of norms which includes the standard p-norms on  ⁿ , 1 < p < ∞, we show that if  has Hausdorff 1-measure zero and n ≥ 2, then u is either affine or a “cone function,” that is, a function of the form u(x) = a ± ‖x ? z‖_?.     

RELATIVE WIDTH OF SMOOTH CLASSES OF MULTIVARIATE PERIODIC FUNCTIONS WITH RESTRICTIONS ON ITERATED LAPLACE DERIVATIVES IN THE L2-METRIC

For two subsets W and V of a Banach space X, let Kn(W, V, X) denote the relative Kolmogorov n-width of W relative to V defined by Kn (W, V, X) := inf sup Ln f∈W g∈V∩Ln inf ‖f-g‖x,where the infimum is taken over all n-dimensional linear subspaces Ln of X. Let W2(△r) denote the class of 2w-periodic functions f with d-variables satisfying ∫[-π,π]d |△rf(x)|2dx ≤ 1,while △r is the r-iterate of Laplace operator △. This article discusses the relative Kolmogorov n-width of W2(△r) relative to W2(△r) in Lq([-r, πr]d) (1 ≤ q ≤∞), and obtain its weak asymptotic result.     

On computing the dispersion function

A two-dimensional analogue of the well-known bisection method for root finding is presented in order to solve the following problem, related to the dispersion function of a set of random variables: given distribution functionsF ₁,...,F _n and a probabilityp, find an interval [a,b] of minimum width such thatF _i(b)–F _i(a ^–)p, fori=1,...,n.The author wishes to thank Dr. I. D. Coope, for helpful advice offered during the preparation of this paper, and the referee, whose comments contributed to a clearer presentation.     

A uniform bound for the deviation of empirical distribution functions

If X₁, …, X_n are independent R^d-valued random vectors with common distribution function F, and if F_n is the empirical distribution function for X₁, …, X_n, then, among other things, it is shown that P{sup_x F_n(x) ε} 2e²(2n)^de^−2nε2 for all nε² ≥ d². The inequality remains valid if the X_i are not identically distributed and F(x) is replaced by Σ_iP{X_i ≤ x}/n.     

Adjacency preserving functions on symmetric elements and linear preservers of non-zero decomposable symmetric tensors

Let A be a non-empty set and m be a positive integer. Let ≡ be the equivalence relation defined on A ^m such that (x ₁, …, x _m ) ≡ (y ₁, …, y _m ) if there exists a permutation σ on {1, …, m} such that y _σ(i) = x _i for all i. Let A ^(m) denote the set of all equivalence classes determined by ≡. Two elements X and Y in A ^(m) are said to be adjacent if (x ₁, …, x _m?1, a) ∈ X and (x ₁, …, x _m?1, b) ∈ Y for some x ₁, …, x _m?1 ∈ A and some distinct elements a, b ∈ A. We study the structure of functions from A ^(m) to B ⁽ⁿ⁾ that send adjacent elements to adjacent elements when A has at least n + 2 elements and its application to linear preservers of non-zero decomposable symmetric tensors.     

Automatic Smoothing Spline Projection Pursuit

Abstract

A highly flexible nonparametric regression model for predicting a response y given covariates {x_k}^d _k=1 is the projection pursuit regression (PPR) model ? = h(x) = β₀ + Σ_jβ_jf_j(α^T _jx) where the f_j , are general smooth functions with mean 0 and norm 1, and Σ^d _k=1α² _kj=1. The standard PPR algorithm of Friedman and Stuetzle (1981) estimates the smooth functions f_j using the supersmoother nonparametric scatterplot smoother. Friedman's algorithm constructs a model with M _max linear combinations, then prunes back to a simpler model of size M ≤ M _max, where M and M _max are specified by the user. This article discusses an alternative algorithm in which the smooth functions are estimated using smoothing splines. The direction coefficients α_j, the amount of smoothing in each direction, and the number of terms M and M _max are determined to optimize a single generalized cross-validation measure.     

Orlicz-Hardy spaces associated with operators

Let L be a linear operator in L2(Rn) and generate an analytic semigroup {e-tL}t 0 with kernel satisfying an upper bound of Poisson type, whose decay is measured by θ(L) ∈ (0, ∞). Let ω on (0, ∞) be of upper type 1 and of critical lower type p0(ω) ∈ (n/(n + θ(L)), 1] and ρ(t) = t-1/ω-1(t-1) for t ∈ (0, ∞). We introduce the Orlicz-Hardy space Hω, L(Rn) and the BMO-type space BMOρ, L(Rn) and establish the John-Nirenberg inequality for BMOρ, L(Rn) functions and the duality relation between Hω, L(Rn) and BMOρ, L...     

Boundedness of multilinear commutators of generalized fractional integrals

Let L be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup on L²(?ⁿ ) with Gaussian kernel bound, and let L^{–α /2} be the fractional integral of L for 0 < α < n. Suppose that b = (b₁, b₂, …, b_m ) is a finite family of locally integral functions, then the multilinear commutator generated by b and L^{–α /2} is defined by L^{–α /2} _b f = [b_m , …, [b₂, [b₁, L^{–α /2}]], …, ] f, where m ∈ ?⁺. When b₁, b₂, …, b_m ∈ BMO or b_j ∈ Λ (0 < β_j < 1) for 1 ≤ j ≤ m, the authors study the boundedness of L^{–α /2} _b . (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Consistency and normality of Huber-Dutter estimators for partial linear model

For partial linear model Y = Xτβ0 g0(T) with unknown β0 ∈ Rd and an unknown smooth function g0, this paper considers the Huber-Dutter estimators of β0, scale σ for the errors and the function g0 approximated by the smoothing B-spline functions, respectively. Under some regularity conditions, the Huber-Dutter estimators of β0 and σ are shown to be asymptotically normal with the rate of convergence n-1/2 and the B-spline Huber-Dutter estimator of g0 achieves the optimal rate of convergence in nonparametric regression. A simulation study and two examples demonstrate that the Huber-Dutter estimator of β0 is competitive with its M-estimator without scale parameter and the ordinary least square estimator.     

Arens multiplication on Banach algebras related to locally compact semigroups

Let S be a locally compact semigroup, let ω be a weight function on S, and let M_a (S, ω) be the weighted semigroup algebra of S. Let L^∞₀ (S;M_a (S, ω)) be the C^*‐algebra of allM_a (S, ω)‐measurable functions g on S such that g /ω vanishes at infinity. We introduce and study an Arens multiplication on L^∞₀ (S;M_a (S, ω))^* under which M_a (S, ω) is a closed ideal. We show that the weighted measure algebra M (S, ω) plays an important role in the structure of L^∞₀ (S;M_a (S, ω))^*. We then study Arens regularity of L^∞₀ (S;M_a (S, ω))^* and ist relation with Arens regularity of M_a (S, ω), M (S, ω) and the discrete convolution algebra ℓ¹(S, ω). As the main result, we prove that L^∞₀ (S;M_a (S, ω))^* is Arens regular if and only if S is finite, or S is discrete and Ω is zero cluster. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Let u(x) be a function analytic in some neighborhood D about the origin, $ \mathcal{D} Let u(x) be a function analytic in some neighborhood D about the origin, ⊂ ℝ ⁿ .

Atomic decompositions of function spaces with Muckenhoupt weights,and some relation to fractal analysis

This paper deals with atomic decompositions in spaces of type B^s_p,q (?ⁿ , w), F^s_p,q (?ⁿ , w), 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞, s ∈ ?, where the weight function w belongs to some Muckenhoupt class A_r. In particular, we consider the weight function w^Γ_κ (x) = dist(x, Γ)^κ, where Γ is some d ‐set, 0 < d < n, and κ > –(n – d). (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
