Another note on the embedding of the Sobolev space for the limiting exponent

The embedding of the Sobolev spaces W _p ^s (? ⁿ ) in a Lizorkin-type space of locally summable functions of zero smoothness is established. This result is extended to the case of the embedding of Sobolev spaces on nonregular domains of n-dimensional Euclidean space. The formulation of the theorem depends on the geometric parameters of the domain of the functions.     

Embedding of Sobolev spaces with limit exponent revisited

An embedding of the Sobolev spaces W _p ^s (? ⁿ ) in Lizorkin-type spaces of locally integrable functions of smoothness zero is obtained; a similar assertion for Riesz and Bessel potentials is presented. The embedding theorem is extended to Sobolev spaces on irregular domains in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The statement of the theorem depends on geometric parameters of the domain of functions.     

Estimates of the Root Functions of a One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operator with a Strong Boundary Singularity

For any operator defined by the differential operation Lu = ?u″ + q(x)u on the interval G = (0, 1) with complex-valued potential q(x) locally integrable on G and satisfying the inequalities \(\int_{{x_1}}^{{x_2}} {\zeta |(q(\zeta ))|d\zeta \leqslant ln({x_1}/{x_2})} \) and \(\int_{{x_1}}^{{x_2}} {\zeta |(q(1 - \zeta ))|d\zeta \leqslant \gamma ln({x_1}/{x_2})} \) with some constant γ for all sufficiently small 0 < x₁ < x₂, we estimate the norms of root functions in the Lebesgue spaces L _p (G), 1 ≤ p < ∞. We show that for sufficiently small γ these norms satisfy the same estimates asymptotic in the spectral parameter as in the unperturbed case.     

Strict Embeddings of Rearrangement Invariant Spaces

A Banach space E of measurable functions on [0,1] is called rearrangement invariant if E is a Banach lattice and equimeasurable functions have identical norms. The canonical inclusion E ? F of two rearrangement invariant spaces is said to be strict if functions from the unit ball of E have absolutely equicontinuous norms in F. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the strictness of canonical inclusion for Orlicz, Lorentz, and Marcinkiewicz spaces are obtained, and the relations of this concept to the disjoint strict singularity are studied.     

Theta functions on <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-bundles over <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> with the zero Euler class

We construct an analog of the classical theta function on an abelian variety for the closed 4-dimensional symplectic manifolds that are T ²-bundles over T ² with the zero Euler class. We use our theta functions for a canonical symplectic embedding of these manifolds into complex projective spaces (an analog of the Lefschetz theorem).     

On the summability of spectral expansions of piecewise smooth functions

For piecewise smooth functions of n variables, we prove the uniform Riesz summability of order s > (n ? 3)/2 of their spectral expansions associated with an arbitrary elliptic operator with constant coefficients. For s = (n ? 3)/2, the corresponding Riesz means are bounded.     

Strict <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-monotonicity and <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-order continuity in symmetric spaces

This paper is devoted to strict K-monotonicity and K-order continuity in symmetric spaces. Using a local approach to the geometric structure in a symmetric space E we investigate a connection between strict K-monotonicity and global convergence in measure of a sequence of the maximal functions. Next, we solve an essential problem whether an existence of a point of K-order continuity in a symmetric space E on \([0,\infty )\) implies that the embedding \(E\hookrightarrow {L^1}[0,\infty )\) does not hold. We present a complete characterization of an equivalent condition to K-order continuity in a symmetric space E using a notion of order continuity and the fundamental function of E. We also investigate a relationship between strict K-monotonicity and K-order continuity in symmetric spaces and show some examples of Lorentz spaces and Marcinkiewicz spaces having these properties or not. Finally, we discuss a local version of a crucial correspondence between order continuity and the Kadec–Klee property for global convergence in measure in a symmetric space E.     

On the Hausdorff Dimension of Continuous Functions Belonging to Hölder and Besov Spaces on Fractal <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-Sets

The Hausdorff dimension of the graphs of the functions in Hölder and Besov spaces (in this case with integrability p≥1) on fractal d-sets is studied. Denoting by s∈(0,1] the smoothness parameter, the sharp upper bound min{d+1?s,d/s} is obtained. In particular, when passing from d≥s to d<s there is a change of behaviour from d+1?s to d/s which implies that even highly nonsmooth functions defined on cubes in ? ⁿ have not so rough graphs when restricted to, say, rarefied fractals.     

Banach space structure of weighted Fock-Sobolev spaces

We discuss the Banach space structure of the fractional order weighted Fock-Sobolev spaces F _α,s ^p , mainly include giving some growth estimates for Fock-Sobolev functions and approximating them by a sequence of ‘nice’ functions in two different ways.     

Spaces of functions of positive smoothness on irregular domains

The paper is devoted to constructing and studying spaces of functions of positive smoothness on irregular domains of the n-dimensional Euclidean space. We prove embedding theorems that connect the spaces introduced with the Sobolev and Lebesgue spaces. The formulations of the theorems depend on geometric parameters of the domain of definition of functions.     

Traces of Sobolev functions on the Ahlfors sets of Carnot groups

We prove the converse of the trace theorem for the functions of the Sobolev spaces W _p ^l on a Carnot group on the regular closed subsets called Ahlfors d-sets (the direct trace theorem was obtained in one of our previous publications). The theorem generalizes Johnsson and Wallin’s results for Sobolev functions on the Euclidean space. As a consequence we give a theorem on the boundary values of Sobolev functions on a domain with smooth boundary in a two-step Carnot group. We consider an example of application of the theorems to solvability of the boundary value problem for one partial differential equation.     

Geometric properties of the ridge function manifold

We study geometrical properties of the ridge function manifold \(\mathcal{R}_n\) consisting of all possible linear combinations of n functions of the form g(a· x), where a·x is the inner product in \({\mathbb R}^d\). We obtain an estimate for the ε-entropy numbers in terms of smaller ε-covering numbers of the compact class G _n,s formed by the intersection of the class \(\mathcal{R}_n\) with the unit ball \(B\mathcal{P}_s^d\) in the space of polynomials on \({\mathbb R}^d\) of degree s. In particular we show that for n?≤?s ^d???1 the ε-entropy number H _ε (G _n,s,L _q ) of the class G _n,s in the space L _q is of order nslog1/ε (modulo a logarithmic factor). Note that the ε-entropy number \(H_\varepsilon(B\mathcal{P}_s^d,L_q)\) of the unit ball is of order s ^d log1/ε. Moreover, we obtain an estimate for the pseudo-dimension of the ridge function class G _n,s.     

Asymptotics and Arithmetical Properties of Complexity for Circulant Graphs

Abstract—We study analytical and arithmetical properties of the complexity function for infinite families of circulant C _n (s₁, s_2,…, s _k ) C_2n(s₁, s_2,…, s _k , n). Exact analytical formulas for the complexity functions of these families are derived, and their asymptotics are found. As a consequence, we show that the thermodynamic limit of these families of graphs coincides with the small Mahler measure of the accompanying Laurent polynomials.     

Variational Problems with Unilateral Pointwise Functional Constraints in Variable Domains

We consider a sequence of convex integral functionals F_s: W¹,^p(Ω_s) → ? and a sequence of weakly lower semicontinuous and generally nonintegral functionals G_s: W¹,^p(Ω_s) → ?, where {Ω_s} is a sequence of domains in ?ⁿ contained in a bounded domain Ω ? ?ⁿ (n ≥ 2) and p > 1. Along with this, we consider a sequence of closed convex sets V_s = {v ∈ W¹,^p(Ω_s): v ≥ K_s(v) a.e. in Ω_s}, where K_s is a mapping from the space W¹,^p(Ω_s) to the set of all functions defined on Ω_s. We establish conditions under which minimizers and minimum values of the functionals F_s + G_s on the sets V_s converge to a minimizer and the minimum value of a functional on the set V = {v ∈ W¹,^p(Ω): v ≥ K(v) a.e. in Ω}, where K is a mapping from the space W¹,^p(Ω) to the set of all functions defined on Ω. These conditions include, in particular, the strong connectedness of the spaces W¹,^p(Ω_s) with the space W¹,^p(Ω), the condition of exhaustion of the domain Ω by the domains Ω_s, the Γ-convergence of the sequence {F_s} to a functional F: W¹,^p(Ω) → ?, and a certain convergence of the sequence {G_s} to a functional G: W¹,^p(Ω) → ?. We also assume some conditions characterizing both the internal properties of the mappings K_s and their relation to the mapping K. In particular, these conditions admit the study of variational problems with irregular varying unilateral obstacles and with varying constraints combining the pointwise dependence and the functional dependence of the integral form.     

Separately radial and radial Toeplitz operators on the projective space and representation theory

We consider separately radial (with corresponding group T ⁿ ) and radial (with corresponding group U(n)) symbols on the projective space P ⁿ (C), as well as the associated Toeplitz operators on the weighted Bergman spaces. It is known that the C*-algebras generated by each family of such Toeplitz operators are commutative (see R. Quiroga-Barranco and A. Sanchez-Nungaray (2011)). We present a new representation theoretic proof of such commutativity. Our method is easier and more enlightening as it shows that the commutativity of the C*-algebras is a consequence of the existence of multiplicity-free representations. Furthermore, our method shows how to extend the current formulas for the spectra of the corresponding Toeplitz operators to any closed group lying between T ⁿ and U(n).     

Cones of Functions with Monotonicity Conditions for Generalized Bessel and Riesz Potentials

An embedding theorem for spaces of functions of positive smoothness defined on irregular domains of n-dimensional Euclidean space in Lebesgue spaces is proved. The statement of the theorem depends on the geometric parameters of the domains of the functions.     

Optimal Embeddings of Bessel-Potential-Type Spaces into Generalized Hölder Spaces Involving <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-Modulus of Smoothness

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for embeddings of Bessel potential spaces H ^σ X(IR ⁿ ) with order of smoothness σ?∈?(0, n), modelled upon rearrangement invariant Banach function spaces X(IR ⁿ ), into generalized Hölder spaces (involving k-modulus of smoothness). We apply our results to the case when X(IR ⁿ ) is the Lorentz-Karamata space \(L_{p,q;b}({{\rm I\kern-.17em R}}^n)\). In particular, we are able to characterize optimal embeddings of Bessel potential spaces \(H^{\sigma}L_{p,q;b}({{\rm I\kern-.17em R}}^n)\) into generalized Hölder spaces. Applications cover both superlimiting and limiting cases. We also show that our results yield new and sharp embeddings of Sobolev-Orlicz spaces W ^k?+?1 L ^n/k(logL) ^α (IR ⁿ ) and W ^k L ^n/k(logL) ^α (IR ⁿ ) into generalized Hölder spaces.     

Sturm–Liouville problems in weighted spaces in domains with nonsmooth edges. I

We consider (in general noncoercive) mixed problems in a bounded domain D in ? ⁿ for a second-order elliptic partial differential operator A(x, ?). It is assumed that the operator is written in divergent form in D, the boundary operator B(x, ?) is the restriction of a linear combination of the function and its derivatives to ?D and the boundary of D is a Lipschitz surface. We separate a closed set Y ? ?D and control the growth of solutions near Y. We prove that the pair (A,B) induces a Fredholm operator L in suitable weighted spaces of Sobolev type, where the weight is a power of the distance to the singular set Y. Finally, we prove the completeness of the root functions associated with L.The article consists of two parts. The first part published in the present paper, is devoted to exposing the theory of the special weighted Sobolev–Slobodetskii? spaces in Lipschitz domains. We obtain theorems on the properties of these spaces; namely, theorems on the interpolation of these spaces, embedding theorems, and theorems about traces. We also study the properties of the weighted spaces defined by some (in general) noncoercive forms.
