Lebesgue Constants for Some Interpolating <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-Splines

We find exact values for the uniform Lebesgue constants of interpolating L-splines that are bounded on the real axis, have equidistant knots, and correspond to the linear thirdorder differential operator L₃(D) = D(D₂ + α₂) with constant real coefficients, where α > 0. We compare the obtained result with the Lebesgue constants of other L-splines.     

Summability Kernels for <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> Multipliers

In this article we study the problem of extending Fourier Multipliers on L ^p (T) to those on L ^p (R) by taking convolution with a kernel, called a summability kernel. We characterize the space of such kernels for the cases p = 1 and p = 2. For other values of p we give a necessary condition for a function to be a summability kernel. For the case p = 1, we present properties of measures which are transferred from M(T) to M(R) by summability kernels. Furthermore it is shown that every l _p sequence can be extended to some L ^q (R) multipliers for certain values of p and q.     

LP（Rn）-Boundedness of certain commutators

In this paper, the Lp(Rn)-boundedness of the commutators generalized by BMO(Rn) function and the singular integral operator T with rough kernel Ω∈ Llog+ L(Sn-1) is proved by using the Bony's formula for the paraproduct of two functions.

The paper investigates L ^p convergence and Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong laws of large numbers for random elements in a Banach space under the condition that the Banach space is of Rademacher type p, 1 < p < 2. The paper also discusses L ^r convergence and L ^r bound for random elements without any geometric restriction condition on the Banach space.     

Some <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> Rigidity Results for Complete Manifolds with Harmonic Curvature

Let (M ⁿ , g)(n ≥ 3) be an n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with harmonic curvature and positive Yamabe constant. Denote by R and R m? the scalar curvature and the trace-free Riemannian curvature tensor of M, respectively. The main result of this paper states that R m? goes to zero uniformly at infinity if for \(p\geq \frac n2\), the L ^p -norm of R m? is finite. Moreover, If R is positive, then (M ⁿ , g) is compact. As applications, we prove that (M ⁿ , g) is isometric to a spherical space form if for \(p\geq \frac n2\), R is positive and the L ^p -norm of R m? is pinched in [0, C ₁), where C ₁ is an explicit positive constant depending only on n, p, R and the Yamabe constant. We give an isolation theorem of the trace-free Ricci curvature tensor of compact locally conformally flat Riemannian n-manifolds with constant positive scalar curvature, which extends Theorem 1 of Hebey and M. Vaugon (J. Geom. Anal. 6, 531–553, 1996). This result is sharp, and we can precisely characterize the case of equality. In particular, when n = 4, we recover results by Gursky (Indiana Univ. Math. J. 43, 747–774, 1994; Ann. Math. 148, 315–337, 1998).     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-conjecture for locally compact groups

Let G be a locally compact group. For 1 < p < ∞, it is well-known that f * g exists and belongs to L^p(G) for all f, g L^p (G) if and only if G is compact. Here, for 2 < p < ∞, we show that f * g exists for all f, g L^p(G) if and only if G is compact. We also show that this result does not remain true for 1 < p ≤ 2. Received: 23 April 2006     

Lambert multipliers between <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

In this paper Lambert multipliers acting between L ^p spaces are characterized by using some properties of conditional expectation operator. Also, Fredholmness of corresponding bounded operators is investigated.     

Typical <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Superscript>-Dimensions of Measures

For a probability measure μ on a subset of , the lower and upper L^q-dimensions of order are defined by We study the typical behaviour (in the sense of Baire’s category) of the L^q-dimensions and . We prove that a typical measure μ is as irregular as possible: for all q ≥ 1, the lower L^q-dimension attains the smallest possible value and the upper L^q-dimension attains the largest possible value.     

Processes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis></Superscript> largest

For integers n ≥ r, we treat the rth largest of a sample of size n as an \(\mathbb {R}^{\infty }\)-valued stochastic process in r which we denote as M^(r). We show that the sequence regarded in this way satisfies the Markov property. We go on to study the asymptotic behavior of M^(r) as r → ∞, and, borrowing from classical extreme value theory, show that left-tail domain of attraction conditions on the underlying distribution of the sample guarantee weak limits for both the range of M^(r) and M^(r) itself, after norming and centering. In continuous time, an analogous process Y^(r) based on a two-dimensional Poisson process on \(\mathbb {R}_{+}\times \mathbb {R}\) is treated similarly, but we note that the continuous time problems have a distinctive additional feature: there are always infinitely many points below the rth highest point up to time t for any t >?0. This necessitates a different approach to the asymptotics in this case.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>-bounded Representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)

We investigate R-bounded representations , where X is a Banach space and G is a lca group. Observing that Ψ induces a (strongly continuous) group homomorphism , we are then able to analyze certain classical homomorphisms U (e.g. translations in L^p (G)) from the viewpoint of R-boundedness and the theory of scalar-type spectral operators.

We present conditions that allow us to prove the existence of eigenvalues and characteristic values for operator F(D) ? C(λ): L ²(R ^m ) → L ²(R ^m ), where F(D) is a pseudo-differential operator with a symbol F(iξ) and C(λ): L ²(R ^m ) → L ²(R ^m ) is a linear continuous operator.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-approximating Pricing under Restricted Information

We consider the mean-variance hedging problem under partial information in the case where the flow of observable events does not contain the full information on the underlying asset price process. We introduce a certain type martingale equation and characterize the optimal strategy in terms of the solution of this equation. We give relations between this equation and backward stochastic differential equations for the value process of the problem.

We give a characterization of structurally stable diffeomorphisms by making use of the notion of L ^p -shadowing property. More precisely, we prove that the set of structurally stable diffeomorphisms coincides with the C ¹-interior of the set of diffeomorphisms having L ^p -shadowing property.

Weighted <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-conjecture for locally compact groups

Let G be a locally compact group, ω be a weight function on G and 1 < p < ∞. Here, we give a sufficient condition for that the weighted L ^p -space L ^p (G, ω) is a Banach algebra. Also, we get some necessary conditions on G and the weight function ω for L ^p (G, ω) to be a Banach algebra. As a consequence, we show that if G is abelian and L ^p (G, ω) is a Banach algebra, then G is σ-compact.

Pointwise convergence for semigroups in vector-valued <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

Suppose that {T _t  : t  ≥  0} is a symmetric diffusion semigroup on L ²(X) and denote by its tensor product extension to the Bochner space , where belongs to a certain broad class of UMD spaces. We prove a vector-valued version of the Hopf–Dunford–Schwartz ergodic theorem and show that this extends to a maximal theorem for analytic continuations of on . As an application, we show that such continuations exhibit pointwise convergence.     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-consistency of wavelet estimators

This paper deals with the L ^p -consistency of wavelet estimators for a density function based on size-biased random samples. More precisely, we firstly show the L ^p -consistency of wavelet estimators for independent and identically distributed random vectors in R ^d . Then a similar result is obtained for negatively associated samples under the additional assumptions d = 1 and the monotonicity of the weight function.
