Majorization of regular measures and weights with finite and positive critical exponent

For the sets , 1?p<∞, of positive finite Borel measures μ on the real axis with the set of algebraic polynomials P dense in Lp(R,dμ), we establish a majorization principle of their “boundaries,” i.e. for every there exists such that dμ/dν?1. A corresponding principle holds for the sets , p>0, of non-negative upper semi-continuous on R functions (weights) w such that P is dense in the space : For every there exists such that w?ω.     

Reflection about k-jets and holomorphic extension of CR mappings

Let be a CR mapping between real analytic generic submanifolds M, M₁ of and , respectively. According to Webster's theory (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 86 (1982) 236-240) and its further developments, f has holomorphic extension to a full neighborhood of M in when the following requirements are fulfilled: f extends to a wedge W continuous up to M; f is of class C^k; (where denotes the complex tangent bundle); M₁ is “k-nondegenerate.” We deal here with the case where is strictly smaller than but is still real analytic in suitable sense. We show that a suitably refined condition of k-nondegeneracy still entails holomorphic extension of f.     

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

Additive Jordan isomorphisms of nest algebras on normed spaces

Let X be a real or complex Banach space. Let and be two nest algebras on X. Suppose that φ is an additive bijective mapping from onto such that φ(A²)=φ(A)² for every . Then φ is either a ring isomorphism or a ring anti-isomorphism. Moreover, if X is a real space or an infinite dimensional complex space, then there exists a continuous (conjugate) linear bijective mapping T such that either φ(A)=TAT⁻¹ for every or φ(A)=TA∗T−1 for every .     

A note on maximality of analytic crossed products

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .     

Wavelet frames with irregular matrix dilations and their stability

Let , B and A_j () be real nonsingular n×n matrices, λ_k () be real numbers. In this paper we present a sufficient condition for the system to be a frame for . This sufficient condition also shows the stability of the system with respect to the perturbation of matrix dilation parameters and the perturbation of translation parameters .     

Mean inequalities in certain Banach function spaces

Boundedness of the Hardy operator and its adjoint is characterized between Banach function spaces Xq and Lp. By applying a limiting procedure, corresponding boundedness of the geometric mean operator is also derived.     

Norm or numerical radius attaining polynomials on C(K)

Let be the Banach space of all complex-valued continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space K. We study when the following statement holds: every norm attaining n-homogeneous complex polynomial on attains its norm at extreme points. We prove that this property is true whenever K is a compact Hausdorff space of dimension less than or equal to one. In the case of a compact metric space a characterization is obtained. As a consequence we show that, for a scattered compact Hausdorff space K, every continuous n-homogeneous complex polynomial on can be approximated by norm attaining ones at extreme points and also that the set of all extreme points of the unit ball of is a norming set for every continuous complex polynomial. Similar results can be obtained if “norm” is replaced by “numerical radius.”     

On powers of the Heaviside function for negative integers

The distributions and were defined as the neutrix limit of the sequences and respectively for , see [J.D. Nicholos, B. Fisher, The distribution composition , J. Math. Anal. Appl. 258 (2001) 131-145; B. Fisher, On defining the distribution , Univ. u Novom Sadu Zb. Rad. Prirod. Mat. Fak. Ser. Mat. 15 (1985) 119-129]. We here consider these distributions when r=0. In other words, we define the sth powers of the Heaviside function H(x) in the distributional sense for negative integers. Further compositions are also considered.     

On some geometric parameters in Banach spaces

Let X be a normed linear space and be the unit sphere of X. Let , , and J(X)=sup{‖x+y‖∧‖x−y‖}, x and y∈S(X) be the modulus of convexity, the modulus of smoothness, and the modulus of squareness of X, respectively. Let . In this paper we proved some sufficient conditions on δ(?), ρX(?), J(X), E(X), and , where the supremum is taken over all the weakly null sequence xn in X and all the elements x of X for the uniform normal structure.

Reflexivity and hyperreflexivity of operator spaces

In this paper, we show that if is an n-dimensional subspace of L(V) such that every nonzero transformation of has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is algebraically reflexive. If is an n-dimensional subspace of B(H) such that every nonzero transformation of  has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is hyperreflexive. We also consider how to construct some new hyperreflexive subspaces.     

On the asymptotic stability of equilibrium

The classical criterion of asymptotic stability of the zero solution of equations x^′=f(t,x) is that there exists a positive definite function V which has infinitesimal upper bound such that is negative definite. In this paper we prove that if is bounded then the condition that is negative definite can be weakened and replaced by that and is negative definite.     

A supplement to precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm

Let be a sequence of real-valued i.i.d. random variables with E(X)=0 and E(X²)=1, and set , n?1. This paper studies the precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm. For example, using a result on convergence rates for probabilities of moderate deviations for obtained by Li et al. [Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 15 (1992) 481-497], we prove that, for every b∈(−1/2,1],
