Pointwise universal trigonometric series

A series is called a pointwise universal trigonometric series if for any , there exists a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers such that converges to f(z) pointwise on . We find growth conditions on coefficients allowing and forbidding the existence of a pointwise universal trigonometric series. For instance, if as |n|→∞ for some ε>0, then the series S_a cannot be pointwise universal. On the other hand, there exists a pointwise universal trigonometric series S_a with as |n|→∞.     

Linearizability conditions of time-reversible cubic systems

In this paper we present the necessary and sufficient conditions for linearizability of the planar time-reversible cubic complex system , . From these conditions, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the origin to be an isochronous center of the time-reversible cubic real system , can be obtained. Thus, the isochronous center problem of time-reversible cubic systems is solved completely.     

On the equivalence of McShane and Pettis integrability in non-separable Banach spaces

We show that McShane and Pettis integrability coincide for functions , where μ is any finite measure. On the other hand, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, we prove that there exist a weakly Lindelöf determined Banach space X, a scalarly null (hence Pettis integrable) function and an absolutely summing operator u from X to another Banach space Y such that the composition is not Bochner integrable; in particular, h is not McShane integrable.     

Finitely additive representation of spaces

Let be any atomless and countably additive probability measure on the product space with the usual σ-algebra. Then there is a purely finitely additive probability measure λ on the power set of a countable subset such that can be isometrically isomorphically embedded as a closed subspace of L^p(λ). The embedding is strict. It is also ‘canonical,’ in the sense that it maps simple and continuous functions on to their restrictions to T.     

All-derivable points in continuous nest algebras

Let be an operator algebra on a Hilbert space. We say that an element is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology if every strong operator topology continuous derivable linear mapping φ at G (i.e. φ(ST)=φ(S)T+Sφ(T) for any with ST=G) is a derivation. Let be a continuous nest on a complex and separable Hilbert space H. We show in this paper that every orthogonal projection operator P(M) () is an all-derivable point of for the strong operator topology.     

Spaces of holomorphic functions in regular domains

Let Ω be a regular domain in the complex plane , . Let be the linear space over of the holomorphic functions f in Ω such that f⁽ⁿ⁾ is bounded in Ω and is continuously extendible to the closure of Ω, n=0,1,2,… . We endow , in a natural manner, with a structure of Fréchet space and we obtain dense subspaces F of , with good topological linear properties, also satisfying that each function f of F, distinct from zero, does not extend holomorphically outside Ω.     

Congruence of symmetric matrices over local rings

Let R be a commutative, local, and principal ideal ring with maximal ideal and residue class field F. Suppose that every element of is square. Then the problem of classifying arbitrary symmetric matrices over R by congruence naturally reduces, and is actually equivalent to, the problem of classifying invertible symmetric matrices over F by congruence.     

Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities in regular Orlicz spaces involving nonlinear expressions

We consider a triple of N-functions (M,H,J) that satisfy the Δ^′-condition, and suppose that an additive variant of interpolation inequality holds

where , is an arbitrary set invariant with respect to external and internal dilations. We show that the above inequality implies its certain nonlinear variant involving the expressions and . Various generalizations of this inequality to the more general class of N-functions, measures and to higher order derivatives are also discussed and the examples are presented.     

Weak and point-wise convergence in for filter convergence

We study those filters on for which weak -convergence of bounded sequences in C(K) is equivalent to point-wise -convergence. We show that it is sufficient to require this property only for C[0,1] and that the filter-analogue of the Rainwater extremal test theorem arises from it. There are ultrafilters which do not have this property and under the continuum hypothesis there are ultrafilters which have it. This implies that the validity of the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem for -convergence is more restrictive than the property which we study.     

Analyticity of functions analytic on circles

Let Δ be the open unit disc in, let pbΔ, and let f be a continuous function on which extends holomorphically from each circle in centered at the origin and from each circle in which passes through p. Then f is holomorphic on Δ.     

On fractional maximal function and fractional integral on the Laguerre hypergroup

Let be the Laguerre hypergroup which is the fundamental manifold of the radial function space for the Heisenberg group. In this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters for the boundedness of the fractional maximal operator and the fractional integral operator on the Laguerre hypergroup from the spaces to the spaces and from the spaces to the weak spaces .     

Iterated function systems on multifunctions and inverse problems

In this paper, we first consider the problem of defining IFS operators on the space of non-empty compact and convex subsets of . After defining a complete metric on , we construct an IFS operator and show some properties. A notable feature is the definition of a type of weak inner product on . We then define a family of complete metrics on the space of all measurable set-valued functions (with values in ), and extend the weak inner product to this space. Following this, we construct IFS operators on these spaces. We close with a brief discussion of the inverse problem of approximating an arbitrary multifunction by the attractor of an IFS.     

An index formula for the product of linear relations

Let , and be linear spaces and let A and B be linear relations from to and from to , respectively. The main result of this note is a formula which relates the nullities and the defects of the relations A and B with those of the product relation BA.     

Strong uniform continuity

Let be an ideal of subsets of a metric space X,d. This paper considers a strengthening of the notion of uniform continuity of a function restricted to members of which reduces to ordinary continuity when consists of the finite subsets of X and agrees with uniform continuity on members of when is either the power set of X or the family of compact subsets of X. The paper also presents new function space topologies that are well suited to this strengthening. As a consequence of the general theory, we display necessary and sufficient conditions for continuity of the pointwise limit of a net of continuous functions.     

There's something about the diameter

We study diameter preserving linear bijections from onto where X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces and V, Z are Banach spaces. For instance, we obtain that if X has at least four points, Z is linearly isometric to V and either Z is a space or Z^* is strictly convex or smooth, then there is a diameter preserving linear bijection from onto if and only if X is homeomorphic to Y. We also consider the case when X and Y are not compact but locally compact spaces.     

Oscillation of second-order damped dynamic equations on time scales

The study of dynamic equations on time scales has been created in order to unify the study of differential and difference equations. The general idea is to prove a result for a dynamic equation where the domain of the unknown function is a so-called time scale, which may be an arbitrary closed subset of the reals. This way results not only related to the set of real numbers or set of integers but those pertaining to more general time scales are obtained. In this paper, by employing the Riccati transformation technique we will establish some oscillation criteria for second-order linear and nonlinear dynamic equations with damping terms on a time scale . Our results in the special case when and extend and improve some well-known oscillation results for second-order linear and nonlinear differential and difference equations and are essentially new on the time scales , h>0, for q>1, , etc. Some examples are considered to illustrate our main results.     

Improved variance estimation under sub-space restriction

For the linear regression model , we assume that for a given positive definite scale matrix , the error vector has a multivariate normal distribution and has the inverted Wishart distribution. For under an orthogonal sub-space restriction , we propose restricted unbiased, preliminary test and Stein-type estimators of variance of the error term, for when the scale of the inverse Wishart distribution is assumed to be unknown. We compare the weighted quadratic risks of the underlying estimators and propose dominance pictures for them.     

Singular mixed boundary value problem

We study singular boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions of the form

where , , f is a nonnegative function and satisfies the Carathéodory conditions on . Here, f can have a time singularity at t=0 and/or t=T and a space singularity at x=0 and/or y=0. We present conditions for the existence of solutions positive on [0,T) and having continuous first derivatives on [0,T].

Let H,V and K be separable Hilbert spaces. In this paper we consider the existence and uniqueness of energy solutions to the following stochastic evolution equation:

Taniguchi, Successive approximations to solutions of stochastic differential equations, J. Differential Equations 96 (1992) 152–169].
