Properties of operator stable distributions in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces

The results of this paper concern the connections between different characterizations of operator stable distributions in infinite-dimensional separable Banach spaces. Such assertions are closely related with the strong and uniform operator topology. In particular, the new motions of strongly and uniformlyG-stable distributions are discussed.     

On stochastic integral representation of stable processes with sample paths in Banach spaces

Certain path properties of a symmetric α-stable process X(t) = ∫_Sh(t, s) dM(s), t T, are studied in terms of the kernel h. The existence of an appropriate modification of the kernel h enables one to use results from stable measures on Banach spaces in studying X. Bounds for the moments of the norm of sample paths of X are obtained. This yields definite bounds for the moments of a double α-stable integral. Also, necessary and sufficient conditions for the absolute continuity of sample paths of X are given. Along with the above stochastic integral representation of stable processes, the representation of stable random vectors due to[13], Ann. Probab.9, 624–632) is extensively used and the relationship between these two representations is discussed.     

On the central limit theorem in Banach spaces

It is shown, with the use of a concentration inequality of LeCam, that associated with an infinitely divisible random variable with values in a separable Banach space there is a Lévy-Khintchine formula. A partial converse of this fact is also proved. Relations between the continuity of the compound Poisson and the Gaussian variables associated with a Lévy measure are studied. A central limit theorem is obtained and examples are given.     

Orientor field equations in Banach spaces

This paper focuses on the interplay between seminormality requirements and convergence hypotheses on trajectories in the lower closure theorems for orientor field equations. With the use of a weak form of seminormality, called the intermediate property (Q*), we obtain lower closure theorems (and thereby closure theorems) for orientor field equations in Banach spaces, under the assumption of strong convergence of some coordinates of the trajectories, while only weak convergence is assumed in the others. In the Euclidean case, this requirement of property (Q*) is further reduced to mere Kuratowski property (K), under the usual growth-type conditions. Finally, in the appendix, property (Q*) is investigated in detail.This research has been partially supported by Research Project AFOSR-71-2122 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.     

Multivalued differential equations in separable Banach spaces

This paper is concerned with multivalued differential equations of the form F(t,x), whereF is a multivalued mapping taking as its values nonempty compact, but not necessarily convex, subsets in a separable Banach space. The main result is connected with the existence of solutions of these equations.     

On the existence and nonexistence of Lagrange multipliers in Banach spaces

The paper deals with the existence of Lagrange multipliers for a general nonlinear programming problem. Some regularity conditions are formulated which are, in a sense, the weakest to assure the existence of multipliers. A number of related conditions are discussed. The connection between the choice of suitable function spaces and the existence of multipliers is analyzed.This work was partly supported by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. GF-37298, to the Institute of Automatic Control, Technical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland, and the Department of Computer and Control Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota.The author wishes to thank Professor A. P. Wierzbicki for many important remarks concerning the subject of this paper.     

Banach spaces in various positions

We formulate a general theory of positions for subspaces of a Banach space: we define equivalent and isomorphic positions, study the automorphy index a(Y,X) that measures how many non-equivalent positions Y admits in X, and obtain estimates of a(Y,X) for X a classical Banach space such as ?p,Lp,L₁,C(ωω) or C[0,1]. Then, we study different aspects of the automorphic space problem posed by Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal; namely, does there exist a separable automorphic space different from c₀ or ?₂? Recall that a Banach space X is said to be automorphic if every subspace Y admits only one position in X; i.e., a(Y,X)=1 for every subspace Y of X. We study the notion of extensible space and uniformly finitely extensible space (UFO), which are relevant since every automorphic space is extensible and every extensible space is UFO. We obtain a dichotomy theorem: Every UFO must be either an L_∞-space or a weak type 2 near-Hilbert space with the Maurey projection property. We show that a Banach space all of whose subspaces are UFO (called hereditarily UFO spaces) must be asymptotically Hilbertian; while a Banach space for which both X and X^∗ are UFO must be weak Hilbert. We then refine the dichotomy theorem for Banach spaces with some additional structure. In particular, we show that an UFO with unconditional basis must be either c₀ or a superreflexive weak type 2 space; that a hereditarily UFO Köthe function space must be Hilbert; and that a rearrangement invariant space UFO must be either L_∞ or a superreflexive type 2 Banach lattice.     

On Osgood theorem in Banach spaces

Let X be a real Banach space, ω : [0, +∞) → ? be an increasing continuous function such that ω(0) = 0 and ω(t + s) ≤ ω(t) + ω(s) for all t, s ∈ [0, +∞). According to the infinite dimensional analog of the Osgood theorem if ∫¹₀ (ω(t))^?1 dt = ∞, then for any (t₀, x₀) ∈ ?×X and any continuous map f : ?×X → X such that ∥f(t, x) – f(t, y)∥ ≤ ω(∥x – y∥) for all t ∈ ?, x, y ∈ X, the Cauchy problem (t) = f(t, x(t)), x(t₀) = x₀ has a unique solution in a neighborhood of t₀. We prove that if X has a complemented subspace with an unconditional Schauder basis and ∫¹₀ (ω(t))^?1 dt < ∞ then there exists a continuous map f : ? × X → X such that ∥f(t, x) – f(t, y)∥ ≤ ω(∥x – y∥) for all (t, x, y) ∈ ? × X × X and the Cauchy problem (t) = f(t, x(t)), x(t₀) = x₀ has no solutions in any interval of the real line.     

Accelerated Landweber iteration with convex penalty for linear inverse problems in Banach spaces

In recent years, Landweber iteration has been extended to solve linear inverse problems in Banach spaces by incorporating non-smooth convex penalty functionals to capture features of solutions. This method is known to be slowly convergent. However, because it is simple to implement, it still receives a lot of attention. By making use of the subspace optimization technique, we propose an accelerated version of Landweber iteration with non-smooth convex penalty which significantly speeds up the method. Numerical simulations are given to test the efficiency.     

Frame expansions in separable Banach spaces

Banach frames are defined by straightforward generalization of (Hilbert space) frames. We characterize Banach frames (and Xd-frames) in separable Banach spaces, and relate them to series expansions in Banach spaces. In particular, our results show that we can not expect Banach frames to share all the nice properties of frames in Hilbert spaces.     

The topological degree in ordered Banach spaces

This paper is devoted to the applications of classical topological degrees to nonlinear problems involving various classes of operators acting between ordered Banach spaces. In this framework, the Leray-Schauder, Browder-Petryshyn, and Amann-Weiss degree theories are considered, and several existence results are obtained. The non-Archimedean case is also discussed.     

Bases in spaces of homogeneous polynomials on Banach spaces

In this work we present some conditions of equivalence for the existence of a monomial basis in spaces of homogeneous polynomials on Banach spaces.     

Geometric mean and triangles inscribed in a semicircle in Banach spaces

We consider the triangles with vertices x, −x and y where x,y are points on the unit sphere of a normed space. Using the geometric means of the variable lengths of the sides of these triangles, we define two geometric constants for Banach spaces. These constants are closely related to the modulus of convexity of the space under consideration, and they seem to represent a useful tool to estimate the exact values of the James and Jordan–von Neumann constants of some Banach spaces.     

Adjoint for operators in Banach spaces

In this paper we show that a result of Gross and Kuelbs, used to study Gaussian measures on Banach spaces, makes it possible to construct an adjoint for operators on separable Banach spaces. This result is used to extend well-known theorems of von Neumann and Lax. We also partially solve an open problem on the existence of a Markushevich basis with unit norm and prove that all closed densely defined linear operators on a separable Banach space can be approximated by bounded operators. This last result extends a theorem of Kaufman for Hilbert spaces and allows us to define a new metric for closed densely defined linear operators on Banach spaces. As an application, we obtain a generalization of the Yosida approximator for semigroups of operators.

     

Coefficient quantization for frames in Banach spaces

Let (ei) be a fundamental system of a Banach space. We consider the problem of approximating linear combinations of elements of this system by linear combinations using quantized coefficients. We will concentrate on systems which are possibly redundant. Our model for this situation will be frames in Banach spaces.     

Randomized UMD Banach spaces and decoupling inequalities for stochastic integrals

In this paper we prove the equivalence of decoupling inequalities for stochastic integrals and one-sided randomized versions of the UMD property of a Banach space as introduced by Garling.

     

Fourier multipliers and spectral measures in Banach function spaces

It is classical that amongst all spaces L^p (G), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, for , or say, only L² (G) (that is, p = 2) has the property that every bounded Borel function on the dual group Γ determines a bounded Fourier multiplier operator in L² (G). Stone’s theorem asserts that there exists a regular, projection-valued measure (of operators on L² (G)), defined on the Borel sets of Γ, with Fourier-Stieltjes transform equal to the group of translation operators on L² (G); this fails for every p ≠ 2. We show that this special status of L² (G) amongst the spaces L^p (G), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, is actually more widespread; it continues to hold in a much larger class of Banach function spaces defined over G (relative to Haar measure).      

Conditional weak laws in Banach spaces

Let be a separable Banach space. Let be centered i.i.d. random vectors taking values on with law , , and let Under suitable conditions it is shown for every open and convex set that \varepsilon \Big\vert\frac{{\displaystyle S_n}}{\displaystyle n}\in D\right)$"> converges to zero (exponentially), where is the dominating point of As applications we give a different conditional weak law of large numbers, and prove a limiting aposteriori structure to a specific Gibbs twisted measure (in the direction determined solely by the same dominating point).
