On the Cesaro Summability with Respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz System

The Walsh system will be considered in the Kaczmarz rearrangement. We show that the maximal operator σ* of the (C,1)-means of the Walsh–Kaczmarz–Fourier series is bounded from the dyadic Hardy space H^p into L^p for every 1/2<p1. From this it follows by standard arguments that σ* is of weak type (1, 1) and bounded from L^q into L^q if 1<q∞.     

The Definition of the Fourier Transform for Weighted Inequalities

Weighted norm inequalities for the Fourier transform have a long history, motivated in part by generalizations of the differentiation formula for Fourier transforms and by applications such as Kolmogorov′s prediction theory and restriction theory. Typically, a norm inequality, || ||L^q_μ ≤ ||f||L^p_v, is established on a subspace of L¹ contained in the weighted space L^p_v, where is the Fourier transform and μ and v are weights. The problem of defining the extension of on all of L^p_v is posed and solved here for several important cases. This definition sometimes results in the ordinary distributional Fourier transform, but there are other situations which are also analyzed. Precise necessary conditions and closure theorems are inextricably related to this program, and these results are established.     

Compensated Compactness, Paracommutators, and Hardy Spaces

LetB₁: ⁿ× ^N₁→ ^m₁,B₂: ⁿ× ^N₂→ ^m₂andQ: ^m₂→ ^m₁be bilinear forms which are related as follows: ifμandνsatisfyB₁(ξ, μ)=0 andB₂(ξ, ν)=0 for someξ≠0, thenμ^τQν=0. Supposep⁻¹+q⁻¹=1. Coifman, Lions, Meyer and Semmes proved that, ifuL^p( ⁿ) andvL^q( ⁿ), and the first order systemsB₁(D, u)=0,B₂(D, v)=0 hold, thenu^τQvbelongs to the Hardy spaceH¹( ⁿ), provided that both (i)p=q=2, and (ii) the ranks of the linear mapsB_j(ξ, ·) : ^N_j→ ^m₁are constant. We apply the theory of paracommutators to show that this result remains valid when only one of the hypotheses (i), (ii) is postulated. The removal of the constant-rank condition whenp=q=2 involves the use of a deep result of Lojasiewicz from singularity theory.     

Fractional integrals, potential operators and two-weight, weak type norm inequalities on spaces of homogeneous type

We prove two-weight, weak type norm inequalities for potential operators and fractional integrals defined on spaces of homogeneous type. We show that the operators in question are bounded from L^p(v) to L^q,∞(u), 1<p?q<∞, provided the pair of weights (u,v) verifies a Muckenhoupt condition with a “power-bump” on the weight u.     

The n-width of the unit ball of H

Let E be a compact subset of the open unit disc Δ and let H^q be the Hardy space of analytic functions f on Δ for which stf¦^q has a harmonic majorant. We determine the value of the Kolmogorov, Gel'fand, and linear n-widths in L^p(E, μ) of the restriction to E of the unit ball of H^q when p q or when 1 q < p < ∞ and E is “small”.     

Non-simultaneous versus simultaneous quenching in a coupled nonlinear parabolic system

This paper deals with finite-time quenching for the nonlinear parabolic system with coupled singular absorptions: u_t=Δu−v^−p, v_t=Δv−u^−q in Ω×(0,T) subject to positive Dirichlet boundary conditions, where p,q>0, Ω is a bounded domain in with smooth boundary. We obtain the sufficient conditions for global existence and finite-time quenching of solutions, and then determine the blow-up of time-derivatives and the quenching set for the quenching solutions. As the main results of the paper, a very clear picture is obtained for radial solutions with Ω=B_R: the quenching is simultaneous if p,q≥1, and non-simultaneous if p<1≤q or q<1≤p; if p,q<1 with , then both simultaneous and non-simultaneous quenching may happen, depending on the initial data. In determining the non-simultaneous quenching criteria of the paper, some new ideas have been introduced to deal with the coupled singular inner absorptions and inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary value conditions, in addition to techniques frequently used in the literature.     

Global existence and blow-up of solutionsfor a higher-order kirchhoff-type equation with nonlinear dissipation

This paper deals with the higher-order Kirchhoff-type equation with nonlinear dissipationu_tt+(∫_Ω׀D^mu׀²dx)^q(−Δ)^mu+u_t׀u_t׀^r=׀u׀^pu,xΩ,t>0,in a bounded domain, where m < 1 is a positive integer, q, p, r < 0 arepositive constants. We obtain that the solution exists globally if p ≤ r, while ifp > max r, 2q , then for any initial data with negative initial energy, the solution blowsup at finite time in L^p+2 norm.     

On a Hardy Type General Weighted Inequality in Spaces L p(·)

A Hardy type two-weighted inequality is investigated for the multidimensional Hardy operator in the norms of generalized Lebesgue spaces L ^p(·). Equivalent necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the ${L^{p(\cdot)} \longrightarrow L^{q(\cdot)}}A Hardy type two-weighted inequality is investigated for the multidimensional Hardy operator in the norms of generalized Lebesgue spaces L ^p(·). Equivalent necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the L^p(·) ? L^q(·){L^{p(\cdot)} \longrightarrow L^{q(\cdot)}} boundedness of the Hardy operator when exponents q(0) < p(0), q(∞) < p(∞). It is proved that the condition for such an inequality to hold coincides with the condition for the validity of two-weighted Hardy inequalities with constant exponents if we require of the exponents to be regular near zero and at infinity.     

The Fine Structure of the n-Widths of H-Spaces in Lq(−1, 1)

The n-widths of the unit ball A_p of the Hardy space H^p in L_q( −1, 1) are determined asymptotically. It is shown that for 1 ≤ q < p ≤∞ there exist constants k₁ and k₂ such that [formula]≤ d_n(A_p, L_q(−1, 1)),dⁿ(A_p, L_q(−1, 1)), δ_n(A_p, L_q(−1, 1))[formula]where d_n, dⁿ, and δ_n denote the Kolmogorov, Gel′fand and linear n-widths, respectively. This result is an improvement of estimates previously obtained by Burchard and Höllig and by the author.     

Approximation numbers and Kolmogorov widths of Hardy‐type operators in a non‐homogeneous case

Let I = [a , b ] ? ?, let 1 < q ≤ p < ∞, let u and v be positive functions with u ∈ L _{p ′} (I ) and v ∈ L _q (I ), and let T : L _p (I ) → L _q (I ) be the Hardy‐type operator given by Given any n ∈ ?, let s _n stand for either the n ‐th approximation number of T or the n ‐th Kolmogorov width of T . We show that where c _pq is an explicit constant depending only on p and q . (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On weighted inequalities for martingale transform operators

For 1 < p < ∞, the almost surely finiteness of is a necessary and sufficient condition in order to have almost surely convergence of the sequences {E(f|?_n)} with f ∈ L^p(v dP). This condition is also equivalent to have weighted inequalities from L^p(v dP) into L^p(u dP) for some weight u for Doob's maximal function, square function and generalized Burkholder martingale transforms. Similarly, E(u|?₁) < ∞ turns out to be necessary and sufficient for the above weighted inequalities to hold for some v.     

L∞-boundedness of L2-projections on splines for a geometric mesh

In this paper we complete the investigations started by [14.]. We study C. de Boor's conjecture of the L_∞-boundedness of the L₂-projection P on smooth splines in the special case of a geometric mesh x = {q^v}. A connection to the interpolation projection is established and the uniform boundedness of ¦|P¦|_π with respect to q is proved.     

Critical Exponents for a System of Heat Equations Coupled in a Non-linear Boundary Condition

In this paper we consider a system of heat equations u_t = Δu, v_t = Δv in an unbounded domain Ω⊂ℝ^N coupled through the Neumann boundary conditions u_v = v^p, v_v = u^q, where p>0, q>0, pq>1 and ν is the exterior unit normal on ∂Ω. It is shown that for several types of domain there exists a critical exponent such that all of positive solutions blow up in a finite time in subcritical case (including the critical case) while there exist positive global solutions in the supercritical case if initial data are small.     

On the Lp–Lq maximal regularity for Stokes equations with Robin boundary condition in a bounded domain

We obtain the L_p–L_q maximal regularity of the Stokes equations with Robin boundary condition in a bounded domain in ?ⁿ (n?2). The Robin condition consists of two conditions: v ? u=0 and αu+β(T(u, p)v – 〈T(u, p)v, v〉v)=h on the boundary of the domain with α, β?0 and α+β=1, where u and p denote a velocity vector and a pressure, T(u, p) the stress tensor for the Stokes flow and v the unit outer normal to the boundary of the domain. It presents the slip condition when β=1 and non‐slip one when α=1, respectively. The slip condition is appropriate for problems that involve free boundaries.

Fast diffusion flow on manifolds of nonpositive curvature

We consider the fast diffusion equation (FDE) u _t = Δu ^m (0 < m < 1) on a nonparabolic Riemannian manifold M. Existence of weak solutions holds. Then we show that the validity of Euclidean–type Sobolev inequalities implies that certain L ^p −L ^q smoothing effects of the type ∥u(t)∥ _q ≤ Ct ^−α ∥u ₀∥^γ _p , the case q = ∞ being included. The converse holds if m is sufficiently close to one. We then consider the case in which the manifold has the addition gap property min σ(−Δ) > 0. In that case solutions vanish in finite time, and we estimate from below and from above the extinction time.      

On an integral inequality

In this paper we deduce an integral inequality which is an analog of a known two-parameter inequality of Hardy and Littlewood ([1], Theorem 382). A need for inequalities of a similar type arises, for example, in studying the imbedding of the functional spaces B _p ^l in the space L_q if this study leads to a basis of the method of integral representations of functions.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 139–148, August, 1969.     

On the necessary and sufficient condition for the extended Wedderburn–Guttman theorem

Let A be a u by v matrix, and let M and N be u by p and v by q matrices, where p may not be equal to q or rank(M^′AN)<min(p,q). Recently, Galantai [A. Galantai, A note on the generalized rank reduction, Acta Math. Hungarica 116 (2007) 239–246] presented what he claimed to be the necessary and sufficient condition for rank(A-AN(M^′AN)^-M^′A)=rank(A)-rank(AN(M^′AN)^-M^′A) to hold. This rank subtractivity formula along with the condition under which it holds is called the extended Wedderburn–Guttman theorem. In this paper, we show that some of Galantai’s assertions are incorrect.

The aim of this paper is to prove Paley type inequalities for two-parameter Vilenkin system. Our main result is the following estimate:

Stabilization for equations of one-dimensional viscous compressible heat-conducting media with nonmonotone equation of state

We consider the Navier-Stokes system describing motions of viscous compressible heat-conducting and “self-gravitating” media. We use the state function of the form p(u,θ)=p₀(u)+p₁(u)θ linear with respect to the temperature θ, but we admit rather general nonmonotone functions p₀ and p₁ of u, which allows us to treat various physical models of nuclear fluids (for which p and u are the pressure and the specific volume) or thermoviscoelastic solids. For solutions to an associated initial-boundary value problem with “fixed-free” boundary conditions and arbitrarily large data, we prove a collection of estimates independent of time interval, including uniform two-sided bounds for u, and describe asymptotic behavior as t→∞. Namely, we establish the stabilization pointwisely and in L^q for u, in L² for θ, and in L^q for v (the velocity), for any q∈[2,∞). For completeness, the proof of the corresponding global existence theorem is also included.     

Weighted Inequalities for the Generalized Maximal Operator in Martingale Spaces

The generalized maximal operator M in martingale spaces is considered. For 1 < p ≤ q < ∞, the authors give a necessary and sufficient condition on the pair ([^(m)]\hat \mu , v) for M to be a bounded operator from martingale space L ^p (v) into L ^q ([^(m)]\hat \mu ) or weak-L ^q ([^(m)]\hat \mu ), where [^(m)]\hat \mu is a measure on Ω × ℕ and v a weight on Ω. Moreover, the similar inequalities for usual maximal operator are discussed.
