The weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces hK q α,p (ω1,ω2)

Let 1<q<∞, n(1−1/q)≤α<∞, 0<p<∞ and ω₁,ω₂ ɛA ₁(R ⁿ ) (the Muckenhoupt class). In this paper, the author introduce the weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces hk _q ^α,p (gw₁,ω₂) and present their atomic decomposition. Using the atomic decomposition, the author find out their dual spaces, establish the boundedness on these spaces of the pseudo-differential operators of order zero and show thatD(R ⁿ ), the class of C^∞(Rⁿ)-functions with compactly support, is dense inhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂) and there is a subsequence, which converges in distrbutional sense to some distribution ofhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂), of any bounded sequence inhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂). In addition, the author also set up the boundedness of some non-linear quantities in compensated compactness. Supported by the NECF and the NECF and the NNSF of China.

Let g(x) ∈L ²(R) and ğ(ω) be the Fourier transform of g(x). Define g _mn (x) = e ^imx g(x−2πn). In this paper we shall give a sufficient and necessary condition under which {g _mn (x)} constitutes an orthonormal basis of L ²(R) for compactly supported g(ω) or ˘(ω).

Lower bounds at infinity of solutions of partial differential equations in the exterior of a proper cone

An extension of a classical theorem of Rellich to the exterior of a closed proper convex cone is proved: Let Γ be a closed convex proper cone inR ⁿ and −Γ′ be the antipodes of the dual cone of Γ. Let be a partial differential operator with constant coefficients inR ⁿ, whereQ(ζ)≠0 onR ⁿ−iΓ′ andP _i is an irreducible polynomial with real coefficients. Assume that the closure of each connected component of the set {ζ∈R ⁿ−iΓ′;P _j(ζ)=0, gradP _j(ζ)≠0} contains some real point on which gradP _j≠0 and gradP _j∉Γ∪(−Γ). LetC be an open cone inR ⁿ−Γ containing both normal directions at some such point, and intersecting each normal plane of every manifold contained in {ξ∈R ⁿ;P(ξ)=0}. Ifu∈ℒ′∩L _loc ² (R ⁿ−Γ) and the support ofP(−i∂/∂x)u is contained in Γ, then the condition implies that the support ofu is contained in Γ.     

Asymptotics of the eigenvalues of the dirichlet and neumann problems for the abstract sturm-liouville operator

Let A>0 be an unbounded self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space H. In the Hilbert space H₁=L₂ (0, π; H) we study the spectrum of the differential equations−y″(x)+Ay=λy, y (0)=y(π)=0,−y″(x)+Ay=λy, y′(0) =y′(π)=0. We find the principal terms of the asymptotics of the functions N(λ) for these problems and we ascertain the conditions under which they are asymptotically not equivalent.

Singular semi-linear equations inL 1(R)

Letg be a positive continuous function onR which tends to zero at −∞ and which is not integrable overR. The boundary-value problem −u″+g(u)=f, u′(±∞)=0, is considered forf∈L ¹(R). We show that this problem can have a solution if and only ifg is integrable at −∞ and if this is so then the problem is solvable precisely when ∫ _−∞ ^∞ . Some extensions of this result are also given. Sponsored by the United States Army under Contract No. DAAG29-75-C-0024 and by the National Science Foundation, Grant MPS 75-05501.     

On convergence of a generalized Pál interpolation process

Let f∈C _[−1,1] ^″ (r≥1) and R_n(f,α,β,x) be the generalized Pál interpolation polynomials satisfying the conditions R_n(f,α,β,x_k)=f(x_k),R_n ^′(f,α,β,x_k)=f′(x_k)(k=1,2,…,n), where {x_k} are the roots of n-th Jacobi polynomial P_n(α,β,x),α,β>−1 and {x _k ^″ } are the roots of (1−x²)P_n″(α,β,x). In this paper, we prove that holds uniformly on [0,1]. In Memory of Professor M. T. Cheng Supported by the Science Foundation of CSBTB and the Natural Science Foundatioin of Zhejiang.     

The Ξ operator and its relation to Krein's spectral shift function

We explore connections between Krein's spectral shift function ζ(λ,H ₀, H) associated with the pair of self-adjoint operators (H ₀, H),H=H ₀+V, in a Hilbert spaceH and the recently introduced concept of a spectral shift operator Ξ(J+K ^*(H ₀−λ−i0)⁻¹ K) associated with the operator-valued Herglotz functionJ+K ^*(H ₀−z)⁻¹ K, Im(z)>0 inH, whereV=KJK ^* andJ=sgn(V). Our principal results include a new representation for ζ(λ,H ₀,H) in terms of an averaged index for the Fredholm pair of self-adjoint spectral projections (E J+A(λ)+tB(λ)(−∞, 0)),E _J((−∞, 0))), ℝ, whereA(λ)=Re(K ^*(H ₀−λ−i0⁻¹ K),B(λ)=Im(K ^*(H ₀−λ-i0)⁻¹ K) a.e. Moreover, introducing the new concept of a trindex for a pair of operators (A, P) inH, whereA is bounded andP is an orthogonal projection, we prove that ζ(λ,H ₀, H) coincides with the trindex associated with the pair (Ξ(J+K ^*(H ₀−λ−i0)K), Ξ(J)). In addition, we discuss a variant of the Birman-Krein formula relating the trindex of a pair of Ξ operators and the Fredholm determinant of the abstract scattering matrix. We also provide a generalization of the classical Birman—Schwinger principle, replacing the traditional eigenvalue counting functions by appropriate spectral shift functions.     

Modules of vector fields,differential forms and degenerations of differential systems

We deal with (n−1)-generated modules of smooth (analytic, holomorphic) vector fieldsV=(X ₁,..., X_n−1) (codimension 1 differential systems) defined locally on ℝ ⁿ or ℂ ⁿ , and extend the standard duality(X ₁,..., X_n−1)↦(ω), ω=Ω(X₁,...,X_n−1,.,) (Ω−a volume form) betweenV′s and 1-generated modules of differential 1-forms (Pfaffian equations)—when the generatorsX _i are linearly independent—onto substantially wider classes of codimension 1 differential systems. We prove that two codimension 1 differential systemsV and are equivalent if and only if so are the corresponding Pfaffian equations (ω) and provided that ω has1-division property: ωΛμ=0, μ—any 1-form ⇒ μ=fω for certain function germf. The 1-division property of ω turns out to be equivalent to the following properties ofV: (a)fX∈V, f—not a 0-divisor function germ ⇒X∈V (thedivision property); (b) (V ^⊥)^⊥=V; (c)V ^⊥=(ω); (d) (ω)^⊥=V, where ⊥ denotes the passing from a module (of vector fields or differential 1-forms) to its annihilator.

General Study of Iterative Processes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>-Order at Least Three under Weak Convergence Conditions

We consider a family of Newton-type iterative processes solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, that generalizes the usually iterative methods of R-order at least three. The convergence of this family in Banach spaces is usually studied when the second derivative of the operator involved is Lipschitz continuous and bounded. In this paper, we relax the first condition, assuming that ‖F″(x)−F″(y)‖≤ω(‖x−y‖), where ω is a nondecreasing continuous real function. We prove that the different R-orders of convergence that we can obtain depend on the quasihomogeneity of the function ω. We end the paper by applying the study to some nonlinear integral equations.

On semi-fredholm properties of a boundary value problem inR + n

The paper considers a boundary value problem with the help of the smallest closed extensionL ^∼ :H _k →H _{k 0}×B _{h 1}×...×B _{h N} of a linear operatorL :C ₍₀₎ ^∞ (R ₊ ⁿ ) →L(R ₊ ⁿ )×L(R ⁿ⁻¹)×...×L(R ⁿ⁻¹). Here the spacesH _k (the spaces ℬ _h ) are appropriate subspaces ofD′(R ₊ ⁿ ) (ofD′(R ⁿ⁻¹), resp.),L(R ₊ ⁿ ) andC ₍₀₎ ^∞ (R ₊ ⁿ )) denotes the linear space of smooth functionsR ⁿ →C, which are restrictions onR ₊ ⁿ of a function from the Schwartz classL (fromC ₀ ^∞ , resp.),L(R ⁿ⁻¹) is the Schwartz class of functionsR ⁿ⁻¹ →C andL is constructed by pseudo-differential operators. Criteria for the closedness of the rangeR(L ^∼) and for the uniqueness of solutionsL ^∼ U=F are expressed. In addition, ana priori estimate for the corresponding boundary value problem is established.     

Construction of multivariate compactly supported orthonormal wavelets

We propose a constructive method to find compactly supported orthonormal wavelets for any given compactly supported scaling function φ in the multivariate setting. For simplicity, we start with a standard dilation matrix 2I_2×2 in the bivariate setting and show how to construct compactly supported functions ψ₁,. . .,ψ_n with n>3 such that {2^kψ_j(2^kx−ℓ,2^ky−m), k,ℓ,m∈Z, j=1,. . .,n} is an orthonormal basis for L₂(ℝ²). Here, n is dependent on the size of the support of φ. With parallel processes in modern computer, it is possible to use these orthonormal wavelets for applications. Furthermore, the constructive method can be extended to construct compactly supported multi-wavelets for any given compactly supported orthonormal multi-scaling vector. Finally, we mention that the constructions can be generalized to the multivariate setting. Dedicated to Professor Charles A.

Convolution properties of some classes of analytic functions

Let A denote the class of functions which are analytic in |z|<1 and normalized so that f(0)=0 and f′(0)=1, and let R(α, β)⊂A be the class of functions f such thatRe[f′(z)+αzf″(z)]>β,Re α>0, β<1. We determine conditions under which (i) f ∈ R(α₁, β₁), g ∈ R(α₂, β₂) implies that the convolution f×g of f and g is convex; (ii) f ∈ R(0, β₁), g ∈ R(0, β₂) implies that f×g is starlike; (iii) f≠A such that f′(z)[f(z)/z]^μ-1 ≺ 1 + λz, μ>0, 0<λ<1, is starlike, and (iv) f≠A such that f′(z)+αzf″(z) ≺ 1 + λz, α>0, δ>0, is convex or starlike.

Structural formulas and value regions of functionals in certain classes of regular functions

We study the structural properties of the class M_k,λ,b(k≥2, 0≤λ≤1, b∈ℂ\{0}) of functions f(z)=z+ ... which are regular in |z|<1 and satisfy the conditions f(z)f′(z)z⁻¹≠0 and , where J(z)=λ(1+b⁻¹zf″(z)/f′(z)+(1−λ)(b⁻¹zf′(z)/f(z)+1−b⁻¹).

The distribution of the root degree of a random permutation

Given a permutation ω of {1, …, n}, let R(ω) be the root degree of ω, i.e. the smallest (prime) integer r such that there is a permutation σ with ω = σ ^r . We show that, for ω chosen uniformly at random, R(ω) = (lnlnn − 3lnlnln n + O ^p (1))⁻¹ lnn, and find the limiting distribution of the remainder term.

The Ulm method under mild differentiability conditions

The Ulm method is considered to approximate a solution of a nonlinear operator equation F(x) = 0. We study the convergence of this method when F′ is ω-conditioned and prove that the R-order of convergence is at least 1 + p if ω is quasi-homogeneous of type ω(tz)≤ t ^p ω(z), for z > 0, tϵ[0,1] and pϵ[0,1].

Isoperimetric inequalities on minimal submanifolds of space forms

For a domainU on a certaink-dimensional minimal submanifold ofS ⁿ orH ⁿ, we introduce a “modified volume”M(U) ofU and obtain an optimal isoperimetric inequality forU k ^k ω _k M (D) ^k-1 ≤Vol(∂D) ^k , where ω _k is the volume of the unit ball ofR ^k . Also, we prove that ifD is any domain on a minimal surface inS ₊ ⁿ (orH ⁿ, respectively), thenD satisfies an isoperimetric inequality2π A≤L ²+A² (2π A≤L²−A² respectively). Moreover, we show that ifU is ak-dimensional minimal submanifold ofH ⁿ, then(k−1) Vol(U)≤Vol(∂U). Supported in part by KME and GARC
