Banach frames for multivariate α-modulation spaces

The α-modulation spaces , α∈[0,1], form a family of spaces that include the Besov and modulation spaces as special cases. This paper is concerned with construction of Banach frames for α-modulation spaces in the multivariate setting. The frames constructed are unions of independent Riesz sequences based on tensor products of univariate brushlet functions, which simplifies the analysis of the full frame. We show that the multivariate α-modulation spaces can be completely characterized by the Banach frames constructed.     

Fusion frames and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-frames in Banach spaces

Fusion frames and g-frames in Hilbert spaces are generalizations of frames, and frames were extended to Banach spaces. In this article we introduce fusion frames, g-frames, Banach g-frames in Banach spaces and we show that they share many useful properties with their corresponding notions in Hilbert spaces. We also show that g-frames, fusion frames and Banach g-frames are stable under small perturbations and invertible operators.     

On the Moore-Penrose inverse, EP Banach space operators, and EP Banach algebra elements

The main concern of this note is the Moore-Penrose inverse in the context of Banach spaces and algebras. Especially attention will be given to a particular class of elements with the aforementioned inverse, namely EP Banach space operators and Banach algebra elements, which will be studied and characterized extending well-known results obtained in the frame of Hilbert space operators and C^∗-algebra elements.     

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.     

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator in Banach spaces (II)

In this paper, we generalize the Roper-Suffridge extension operator from Cn to Banach spaces. It is proved that this operator preserves the biholomorphic ? starlikeness on some domains in Banach spaces. From these, we may construct a lots of concrete examples about biholomorphic ? starlike mappings on some domains Ω in Cn, or Hilbert spaces, or Banach spaces from univalent ? starlike functions on the unit disc U in C. Meanwhile, the growth theorems of the corresponding mappings are given. Some results of Gong and Liu, Roper and Suffridge, Graham et al. in Cn are extended to Hilbert spaces or Banach spaces.     

Perturbations of Banach Frames and Atomic Decompositions

Banach frames and atomic decompositions are sequences that have basis-like properties but which need not be bases. In particular, they allow elements of a Banach space to be written as linear combinations of the frame or atomic decomposition elements in a stable manner. In this paper we prove several functional — analytic properties of these decompositions, and show how these properties apply to Gabor and wavelet systems. We first prove that frames and atomic decompositions are stable under small perturbations. This is inspired by corresponding classical perturbation results for bases, including the Paley — Wiener basis stability criteria and the perturbation theorem el kato. We introduce new and weaker conditions which ensure the desired stability. We then prove quality properties of atomic decompositions and consider some consequences for Hilbert frames. Finally, we demonstrate how our results apply in the practical case of Gabor systems in weighted L² spaces. Such systems can form atomic decompositions for L²_w(IR), but cannot form Hilbert frames but L²_w(IR) unless the weight is trivial.     

Orthogonally Complemented Subspaces in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we extend the Moreau (Riesz) decomposition theorem from Hilbert spaces to Banach spaces. Criteria for a closed subspace to be (strongly) orthogonally complemented in a Banach space are given. We prove that every closed subspace of a Banach space X with dim X ≥ 3 (dim X ≤ 2) is strongly orthognally complemented if and only if the Banach space X is isometric to a Hilbert space (resp. strictly convex), which is complementary to the well-known result saying that every closed subspace of a Banach space X is topologically complemented if and only if the Banach space X is isomorphic to a Hilbert space.     

Strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces

This paper firstly discusses the existence of strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces. It shows that there exist strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces with w*-separable dual. It also gives some properties of strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces. In particular, if T is a strongly irreducible operator on an infinite-dimensional Banach space, then T is not of finite rank and T is not an algebraic operator. On Banach spaces with subsymmetric bases, including infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces, it shows that quasisimilarity does not preserve strong irreducibility. In addition, we show that the strong irreducibility of an operator does not imply the strong irreducibility of its conjugate operator, which is not the same as the property in Hilbert spaces.     

On simultaneous triangularization of collections of compact operators

In this paper we consider collections of compact (resp. C_p class) operators on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces. For a subring R of reals, it is proved that an R-algebra of compact operators with spectra in R on an arbitrary Banach space is triangularizable if and only if every member of the algebra is triangularizable. It is proved that every triangularizability result on certain collections, e.g., semigroups, of compact operators on a complex Banach (resp. Hilbert) space gives rise to its counterpart on a real Banach (resp. Hilbert) space. We use our main results to present new proofs as well as extensions of certain classical theorems (e.g., those due to Kolchin, McCoy, and others) on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces.     

Orthogonal sequences and regularity of embeddings into finite-dimensional spaces

This paper focuses on the regularity of linear embeddings of finite-dimensional subsets of Hilbert and Banach spaces into Euclidean spaces. We study orthogonal sequences in a Hilbert space H, whose elements tend to zero, and similar sequences in the space c₀ of null sequences. The examples studied show that the results due to Hunt and Kaloshin (Regularity of embeddings of infinite-dimensional fractal sets into finite-dimensional spaces, Nonlinearity 12 (1999) 1263-1275) and Robinson (Linear embeddings of finite-dimensional subsets of Banach spaces into Euclidean spaces, Nonlinearity 22 (2009) 711-728) for subsets of Hilbert and Banach spaces with finite box-counting dimension are asymptotically sharp. An analogous argument allows us to obtain a lower bound for the power of the logarithmic correction term in an embedding theorem proved by Olson and Robinson (Almost bi-Lipschitz embeddings and almost homogeneous sets, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 362 (1) (2010) 145-168) for subsets X of Hilbert spaces when X−X has finite Assouad dimension.     

Convergence theorems for λ-strict pseudo-contractions in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces

In this paper, we continue to discuss the properties of iterates generated by a strict pseudo- contraction or a finite family of strict pseudo-contractions in a real q-uniformly smooth Banach space. The results presented in this paper are interesting extensions and improvements upon those known ones of Marino and Xu [Marino, G., Xu, H. K.： Weak and strong convergence theorems for strict pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces. J. Math. Anal. Appl., 324, 336-349 （2007）]. In order to get a strong convergence theorem, we modify the normal Mann＇s iterative algorithm by using a suitable convex combination of a fixed vector and a sequence in C. This result extends a recent result of Kim and Xu [Kim, T. H., Xu, H. K.： Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations. Nonl. Anal., 61, 51- 60 （2005）] both from nonexpansive mappings to λ-strict pseudo-contractions and from Hilbert spaces to q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces.     

Stability of Banach spaces via nonlinear ε-isometries

In this paper, we prove that the existence of an ε-isometry from a separable Banach space X into Y (the James space or a reflexive space) implies the existence of a linear isometry from X into Y. Then we present a set valued mapping version lemma on non-surjective ε-isometries of Banach spaces. Using the above results, we also discuss the rotundity and smoothness of Banach spaces under the perturbation by ε-isometries.     

Some fixed point results on L-embedded Banach spaces

In this paper we prove that w-fixed point property and w^★-fixed point property are equivalent concepts for L-embedded Banach spaces which are duals of M-embedded spaces. Similar results will be obtained with respect to the normal structure. These equivalences will be applied to establish new fixed point results for different examples. We will also prove the existence of fixed points for both nonexpansive and asymptotically regular mappings defined on subsets of L-embedded Banach spaces which are sequentially compact for the abstract measure topology. We will check that our results do not hold in the case of the weak topology.     

A note on banach partial *-algebras

A Banach partial *-algebra is a locally convex partial *-algebra whose total space is a Banach space. A Banach partial *-algebra is said to be of type (B) if it possesses a generating family of multiplier spaces that are also Banach spaces. We describe the basic properties of such objects and display a number of examples, namely L ^p -like function spaces and spaces of operators on Hilbert scales.     

Intrinsic Localization of Frames

Several concepts for the localization of a frame are studied. The intrinsic localization of a frame is defined by the decay properties of its Gramian matrix. Our main result asserts that the canonical dual frame possesses the same intrinsic localization as the original frame. The proof relies heavily on Banach algebra techniques, in particular on recent spectral invariance properties for certain Banach algebras of infinite matrices. Intrinsically localized frames extend in a natural way to Banach frames for a class of associated Banach spaces which are defined by weighted ℓ^p-coefficients of their frame expansions. As an example, the time--frequency concentration of distributions is characterized by means of localized (nonuniform) Gabor frames.     

On quantification of weak sequential completeness

We consider several quantities related to weak sequential completeness of a Banach space and prove some of their properties in general and in L-embedded Banach spaces, improving in particular an inequality of G. Godefroy, N. Kalton and D. Li. We show some examples witnessing natural limits of our positive results, in particular, we construct a separable Banach space X with the Schur property that cannot be renormed to have a certain quantitative form of weak sequential completeness, thus providing a partial answer to a question of G. Godefroy.     

On the splitting problem for selections

We investigate when does the Repovš-Semenov splitting problem for selections have an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings in finite-dimensional Banach spaces. We prove that this happens when images of set-valued mappings or even their graphs are P-sets (in the sense of Balashov) or strictly convex sets. We also consider an example which shows that there is no affirmative solution of this problem even in the simplest case in R³. We also obtain affirmative solution of the approximate splitting problem for Lipschitz continuous selections in the Hilbert space.     

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.     

Banach spaces of universal disposition

In this paper we present a method to obtain Banach spaces of universal and almost-universal disposition with respect to a given class M of normed spaces. The method produces, among others, the only separable Banach space of almost-universal disposition with respect to the class F of finite-dimensional spaces (Gurari? space G); or the only, under CH, Banach space with density character the continuum which is of universal disposition with respect to the class S of separable spaces (Kubis space K). We moreover show that K is isomorphic to an ultrapower of the Gurari? space and that it is not isomorphic to a complemented subspace of any C(K)-space. Other properties of spaces of universal disposition are also studied: separable injectivity, partially automorphic character and uniqueness.     

Factorizations of EP Banach space operators and EP Banach algebra elements

EP Banach space operators and EP Banach algebra elements are characterized using different kinds of factorizations. The results obtained generalize well-known characterizations of EP matrices, EP Hilbert space operators and EP C^?-algebra elements. Furthermore, new results that hold in these contexts are presented.
