Fixed points for mixed monotone multivalued operators in Banach spaces with applications

In this paper, the existence and iterative approximation of fixed points for a class of systems of mixed monotone multivalued operator are discussed. We present some new fixed point theorems of mixed monotone operators and increasing operators which need not be continuous or satisfy a compactness condition. We also give some applications to differential inclusions with discontinuous right hand side in Banach spaces and to Hammerstein integral inclusions on RN.     

Sharp bounds for Hardy type operators on higher-dimensional product spaces

We investigate a class of fractional Hardy type operators \({\mathscr{H}_{{\beta _1},{\beta _2}, \ldots ,{\beta _m}}}\) defined on higher-dimensional product spaces \({\mathbb{R}^{{n_1}}} \times {\mathbb{R}^{{n_2}}} \times \cdots \times {\mathbb{R}^{{n_m}}}\) and use novel methods to obtain their sharp bounds. In particular, we optimize the result due to S. M. Wang, S. Z. Lu, and D. Y. Yan [Sci. China Math., 2012, 55(12): 2469–2480].     

Sharp weighted bounds for fractional integral operators

The relationship between the operator norms of fractional integral operators acting on weighted Lebesgue spaces and the constant of the weights is investigated. Sharp bounds are obtained for both the fractional integral operators and the associated fractional maximal functions. As an application improved Sobolev inequalities are obtained. Some of the techniques used include a sharp off-diagonal version of the extrapolation theorem of Rubio de Francia and characterizations of two-weight norm inequalities.     

Statistical ensemble error bounds for homogenized microheterogeneous solids

Typically, in order to characterize the homogenized effective macroscopic response of new materials possessing random heterogeneous microstructure, a relation between averages is sought, where and where and are the stress and strain tensor fields within a statistically representative volume element (SRVE) of volume ||. The quantity, is known as the effective property, and is the elasticity tensor used in usual macroscale analyses. In order to generate homogenized responses computationally, a series of detailed boundary value representations resolving the heterogeneous microstructure, posed over the SRVEs domain, must be solved. This requires an enormous numerical effort that can overwhelm most computational facilities. A natural way of generating an approximation to the SRVEs response is by first computing the response of smaller (subrepresentative) samples, each with a different random realization of the microstructural type under investigation, and then to ensemble average the results afterwards. Compared to a direct simulation of an SRVE, testing many small samples is a computationally inexpensive process since the number of floating point operations is greatly reduced, as well as the fact that the samples responses can be computed trivially in parallel. However, there is an inherent error in this process. Clearly the populations ensemble average is not the SRVEs response. However, as shown in this work, the moments on the distribution of the population can be used to generate rigorous upper and lower error bounds on the quality of the ensemble-generated response. Two-sided bounds are given on the SRVE response in terms of the ensemble average, its standard deviation and its skewness.Received: December 11, 2001     

A note on meromorphic operators

Let be a complex Banach space and a bounded linear operator on . is called meromorphic if the spectrum of is a countable set, with the only possible point of accumulation, such that all the nonzero points of are poles of . By means of the analytical core we give a spectral theory of meromorphic operators. Our results are a generalization of some results obtained by Gong and Wang (2003).

     

Lomonosov's invariant subspace theorem for multivalued linear operators

The famous Lomonosov's invariant subspace theorem states that if a continuous linear operator on an infinite-dimensional normed space ``commutes' with a compact operator i.e., then has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. We generalize this theorem for multivalued linear operators. We also provide an application to single-valued linear operators.

     

A Comparison of homogenization, Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and the Halpin-Tsai Equations

In this paper we study a unidirectional and elastic fiber composite. We use the homogenization method to obtain numerical results of the plane strain bulk modulus and the transverse shear modulus. The results are compared with the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and are found to be close to the lower bounds in both cases. This indicates that the lower bounds might be used as a first approximation of the plane strain bulk modulus and the transverse shear modulus. We also point out the connection with the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds and the Halpin-Tsai equations. Optimal bounds on the fitting parameters in the Halpin-Tsai equations have been formulated.

A note on multiple summing operators and applications

Universal elements for non-linear operators and their applications

We prove that under certain topological conditions on the set of universal elements of a continuous map T acting on a topological space X, that the direct sum T⊕Mg is universal, where Mg is multiplication by a generating element of a compact topological group. We use this result to characterize R₊-supercyclic operators and to show that whenever T is a supercyclic operator and z₁,…,zn are pairwise different non-zero complex numbers, then the operator z₁T⊕?⊕znT is cyclic. The latter answers affirmatively a question of Bayart and Matheron.     

On some sharp bounds for the homogenized p-poisson equation

We consider homogenization of a scale of p-Poisson equations in R^N. Some new bounds of the effective energy are proved and compared with the non-linear Wiener -and Hashin-Shtrikman bounds. Moreover, we point out concrete nontrivid examples where these bounds even coincide. Some new examples of “optimal” microstructures are presented.     

Eigenvalue bounds in the gaps of Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices

We consider C=A+B where A is selfadjoint with a gap (a,b) in its spectrum and B is (relatively) compact. We prove a general result allowing B of indefinite sign and apply it to obtain a (δV)^d/2 bound for perturbations of suitable periodic Schrödinger operators and a (not quite) Lieb–Thirring bound for perturbations of algebro-geometric almost periodic Jacobi matrices.     

A note on the identity operators of fractional calculus

The application of an identity operator for Saigo’s fractional calculus operators is shown by evaluating the limit of an indeterminate form. Its special case yields the result which has been used as an infinitesimal generator in the semigroup theory. Also, an identity operator for the recently introduced multi-dimensional fractional operators (due to Srivastava and Raina [8]) is discussed.     

Inner bounds for the spectrum of quasinormal operators

A linear operator in a separable Hilbert space is called a quasinormal one if it is a sum of a normal operator and a compact one. In the paper, bounds for the spectrum of quasinormal operators are established. In addition, the lower estimate for the spectral radius is derived. Under some restrictions, that estimate improves the well-known results. Applications to integral operators and matrices are discussed. Our results are new even in the finite-dimensional case.

     

A note on multidimensional modified fractional calculus operators

In the present investigation some new formulas giving the images under multidimensional modified fractional operators of the celebratedH-function of Fox [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 98 (1961) 395–429] are obtained. Special cases are briefly pointed out and the results are also studied on general spaces of functionsM _γ(R ₊ ⁿ )     

Sharp bounds for Hardy operators on product spaces

In this article, we obtain the sharp bounds from L^P$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ to the space wL^P$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ for Hardy operators on product spaces. More generally, the precise norms of Hardy operators on product spaces from L^P$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ to the space L^P_I$\left({\mathbb{G}}^n\right)$ are obtained.     

A note on supercyclic vectors of Hilbert space operators

Let H be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and T be a bounded linear operator on H. We show that if there exists $x\in H$ such that the closure of $\{\alpha T^{n}x:\alpha \in \mathbb{C},n?0\}$ is H, then there is a subsequence ${(n_k)}_{k=1}^{\infty }$ such that the closed linear span of $\{T^{n_k}x:k?1\}$ is not the whole space H.
