The Banach Algebra A* and Its Properties

Beurling's algebra $A^*=\{f:\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \sup_{k\le |m|} |\hat f (m)| < \infty \}Beurling’s algebra $A^* = \{ f:\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {\sup _{k \leqslant |m|} |\hat f(m)|< \infty } \} $ is considered. A* arises quite naturally in problems of summability of the Fourier series at Lebesgue points, whereas Wiener’s algebra A of functions with absolutely convergent Fourier series arises when studying the norm convergence of linear means. Certainly, both algebras are used in some other areas. A* has many properties similar to those of A, but there are certain essential distinctions. A* is a regular Banach algebra, its space of maximal ideals coincides with[?π, π], and its dual space is indicated. Analogs of Herz’s and Wiener-Ditkin’s theorems hold. Quantitative parameters in an analog of the Beurling-Pollard theorem differ from those for A. Several inclusion results comparing the algebra A* with certain Banach spaces of smooth functions are given. Some special properties of the analogous space for Fourier transforms on the real axis are presented. The paper ends with a summary of some open problems.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Besselian Frames in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of q-Besselian frame and （p, σ）-near Riesz basis in a Banach space, where a is a finite subset of positive integers and 1/p＋1/q = 1 with p 〉 1, q 〉 1, and determine the relations among q-frame, p-Riesz basis, q-Besselian frame and （p, σ）-near Riesz basis in a Banach space. We also give some sufficient and necessary conditions on a q-Besselian frame for a Banach space. In particular, we prove reconstruction formulas for Banach spaces X and X^＊ that if {xn}n=1^∞ C X is a q-Besselian frame for X, then there exists a p-Besselian frame {y＆＊}n=1^∞ belong to X^＊ for X^＊ such that x = ∑n=1^∞ yn^＊（x）xn for all x ∈ X, and x^＊ =∑n=1^∞ x^＊（xn）yn^＊ for all x^＊ ∈ X^＊. Lastly, we consider the stability of a q-Besselian frame for the Banach space X under perturbation. Some results of J. R. Holub, P. G. Casazza, O. Christensen and others in Hilbert spaces are extended to Banach spaces.

In this paper, we discuss the moving-average process Xk = ∑i=-∞ ^∞ ai＋kεi, where {εi;-∞ 〈 i 〈 ∞} is a doubly infinite sequence of identically distributed ψ-mixing or negatively associated random variables with mean zeros and finite variances, {ai;-∞ 〈 i 〈 -∞） is an absolutely solutely summable sequence of real numbers.     

Grothendieck’s comparison theorem and multivariable Fredholm theory

We use a variant of Grothendieck’s comparison theorem to show that, for a Fredholm tuple T ∈ L(X)ⁿ on a complex Banach space, there are isomorphisms . We conclude that a Fredholm tuple T ∈ L(X)ⁿ satisfies Bishop’s property (β) at z = 0 if and only if the vanishing conditions hold for . We apply these observations and results from commutative algebra to show that a graded tuple on a Hilbert space is Fredholm if and only if it satisfies Bishop’s property (β) at z = 0 and that, in this case, its cohomology groups can grow at most like k^p.

A band limited and Besov class functional calculus for Tadmor-Ritt operators

For Banach space operators T satisfying the Tadmor-Ritt condition a band limited H^∞ calculus is established, where and a is at most of the order C(T)⁵. It follows that such a T allows a bounded Besov algebra B_{∞ 1}⁰ functional calculus, These estimates are sharp in a convenient sense. Relevant embedding theorems for B_{∞ 1}⁰ are derived.

In this paper for a positive real number α we consider two partial differential operators D and D_α on the half–plane We define a generalized Fourier transform associated with the operators D and D_α. We establish an analogue of Beurling–H?rmander’s Theorem for this transform and we give some applications of this theorem.

Four dimensional matrix characterization of double oscillation via RH-conservative and RH-multiplicative matrices

In 1939 Agnew presented a series of conditions that characterized the oscillation of ordinary sequences using ordinary square conservative matrices and square multiplicative matrices. The goal of this paper is to present multidimensional analogues of Agnew’s results. To accomplish this goal we begin by presenting a notion for double oscillating sequences. Using this notion along with square RH-conservative matrices and square RH-multiplicative matrices, we will present a series of characterization of this sequence space, i.e. we will present several necessary and sufficient conditions that assure us that a square RH-multiplicative(square RH-conservative) be such that

On the Relationship Between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer Complete Convergence Theorem and the Law of the Iterated Logarithm

For a sequence of i.i.d. Banach space-valued random variables {Xn; n ≥ 1} and a sequence of positive constants {an; n ≥ 1}, the relationship between the Baum-Katz-Spitzer complete convergence theorem and the law of the iterated logarithm is investigated. Sets of conditions are provided under which （i） lim sup n→∞ ｜｜Sn｜｜/an〈∞ a.s.and ∞ ∑n=1（1/n）P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε〈∞for all ε 〉 λ for some constant λ ∈ [0, ∞） are equivalent; （ii） For all constants λ ∈ [0, ∞）, lim sup ｜｜Sn｜｜/an =λ a.s.and ^∞∑ n=1（1/n） P（｜｜Sn｜｜/an ≥ε）{〈∞, if ε〉λ =∞,if ε〈λare equivalent. In general, no geometric conditions are imposed on the underlying Banach space. Corollaries are presented and new results are obtained even in the case of real-valued random variables.     

Sesquitransitive and Localizing Operator Algebras

An algebra of operators on a Banach space X is said to be transitive if X has no nontrivial closed subspaces invariant under every member of the algebra. In this paper we investigate a number of conditions which guarantee that a transitive algebra of operators is “large” in various senses. Among these are the conditions of algebras being localizing or sesquitransitive. An algebra is localizing if there exists a closed ball B ∌ 0 such that for every sequence (x _n ) in B there exists a subsequence and a bounded sequence (A _k ) in the algebra such that converges to a non-zero vector. An algebra is sesquitransitive if for every non-zero z ∈ X there exists C > 0 such that for every x linearly independent of z, for every non-zero y ∈ X, and every there exists A in the algebra such that and ||Az|| ≤ C||z||. We give an algebraic version of this definition as well, and extend Jacobson’s density theorem to algebraically sesquitransitive rings. The second and the third authors were supported by NSERC.     

Reverse inequalities

There are reverse inequalities for square functions of differences arising in ergodic theory and differentiation of functions. For example, it is shown that if A_n is the usual average in ergodic theory, and (n_k∶k=1,2,3,...) is an increasing lacunary sequence with no non-trivial common divisor, then one has for any p, 1<p<∞, there is a constant C_p such that for all f∃ L_p(X),

The hardy and bellman operators in spaces connected with H( \mathbb{T} ) and BMO( \mathbb{T} )

Assume that 1 ≤ p < ∞ and a function f ∈ L ^p [0, π] has the Fourier series $ \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {a_n } Assume that 1 ≤ p < ∞ and a function f ∈ L ^p [0, π] has the Fourier series cos nx. According to one result of G.H. Hardy, the series cos nx is the Fourier series for a certain function (f) ∈ L ^p [0, π]. But if 1 < p ≤ ∞ and f ∈ L ^p [0, π], then the series cos nx is the Fourier series for a certain function (f) ∈ L ^p [0, π]. Similar assertions are true for sine series. This allows one to define the Hardy operator on L ^p (), 1 ≤ p < ∞, and to define the Bellman operator on L ^p (), 1 < p ≤ ∞. In this paper we prove that the Bellman operator boundedly acts in VMO(), and the Hardy operator also maps a certain subspace C() onto VMO(). We also prove the invariance of certain classes of functions with given majorants of modules of continuity or best approximations in the spaces H(), L(), VMO() with respect to the Hardy and Bellman operators.
