Undersampled Windowed Exponentials and Their Applications

We characterize the completeness and frame/basis property of a union of under-sampled windowed exponentials of the form

$$ {\mathcal{F}}(g): =\bigl\{ e^{2\pi i n x}: n\ge 0\bigr\} \cup \bigl\{ g(x)e^{2\pi i nx}: n< 0\bigr\} $$

for \(L^{2}[-1/2,1/2]\) by the spectra of the Toeplitz operators with the symbol \(g\). Using this characterization, we classify all real-valued functions \(g\) such that \({\mathcal{F}}(g)\) is complete or forms a frame/basis. Conversely, we use the classical non-harmonic Fourier series theory to determine all \(\xi \) such that the Toeplitz operators with the symbol \(e^{2\pi i \xi x}\) is injective or invertible. These results demonstrate an elegant interaction between frame theory of windowed exponentials and Toeplitz operators. Finally, we use our results to answer some open questions in dynamical sampling, and derivative samplings on Paley-Wiener spaces of bandlimited functions.

     

On the Fourier coefficients of certain Hilbert modular forms

We prove that given any \(\epsilon >0\), a non-zero adelic Hilbert cusp form \({\mathbf {f}}\) of weight \(k=(k_1,k_2,\ldots ,k_n)\in ({\mathbb {Z}}_+)^n\) and square-free level \(\mathfrak {n}\) with Fourier coefficients \(C_{{\mathbf {f}}}(\mathfrak {m})\), there exists a square-free integral ideal \(\mathfrak {m}\) with \(N(\mathfrak {m})\ll k_0^{3n+\epsilon }N(\mathfrak {n})^{\frac{6n^2+1}{2}+\epsilon }\) such that \(C_{{\mathbf {f}}}(\mathfrak {m})\ne 0\). The implied constant depends on \(\epsilon , F\).

     

Frames and Finite-Rank Integral Representations of Positive Operator-Valued Measures

Discrete and continuous frames can be considered as positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) that have integral representations using rank-one operators. However, not every POVM has an integral representation. One goal of this paper is to examine the POVMs that have finite-rank integral representations. More precisely, we present a necessary and sufficient condition under which a positive operator-valued measure \(F: \varOmega \to B(H)\) has an integral representation of the form

$$ F(E) =\sum_{k=1}^{m} \int _{E} G_{k}(\omega )\otimes G_{k}(\omega )\, d \mu (\omega ) $$

for some weakly measurable maps \(G_{k}\ (1\leq k\leq m) \) from a measurable space \(\varOmega \) to a Hilbert space ℋ and some positive measure \(\mu \) on \(\varOmega \). Similar characterizations are also obtained for projection-valued measures. As special consequences of our characterization we settle negatively a problem of Ehler and Okoudjou about probability frame representations of probability POVMs, and prove that an integral representable probability POVM can be dilated to a integral representable projection-valued measure if and only if the corresponding measure is purely atomic.

     

Multilinear Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund Inequalities

We extend to the multilinear setting classical inequalities of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund on \(\ell ^r\)-valued extensions of linear operators. We show that for certain \(1 \le p, q_1, \dots , q_m, r \le \infty \), there is a constant \(C\ge 0\) such that for every bounded multilinear operator \(T:L^{q_1}(\mu _1) \times \cdots \times L^{q_m}(\mu _m) \rightarrow L^p(\nu )\) and functions \(\{f_{k_1}^1\}_{k_1=1}^{n_1} \subset L^{q_1}(\mu _1), \dots , \{f_{k_m}^m\}_{k_m=1}^{n_m} \subset L^{q_m}(\mu _m)\), the following inequality holds

$$\begin{aligned} \left\| \left( \sum _{k_1, \dots , k_m} |T(f_{k_1}^1, \dots , f_{k_m}^m)|^r\right) ^{1/r} \right\| _{L^p(\nu )} \le C \Vert T\Vert \prod _{i=1}^m \left\| \left( \sum _{k_i=1}^{n_i} |f_{k_i}^i|^r\right) ^{1/r} \right\| _{L^{q_i}(\mu _i)}. \end{aligned}$$ (1)

In some cases we also calculate the best constant \(C\ge 0\) satisfying the previous inequality. We apply these results to obtain weighted vector-valued inequalities for multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators.

     

Defining Relations for the Carpet Subgroups of Chevalley Groups over Fields

The carpet subgroups admitting a Bruhat decomposition and different from Chevalley groups are exhausted by the groups lying between the Chevalley groups of type \( B_{l} \), \( C_{l} \), \( F_{4} \), or \( G_{2} \) over various imperfect fields of exceptional characteristic 2 or 3, the larger of which is an algebraic extension of the smaller field. Moreover, as regards the types \( B_{l} \) and \( C_{l} \), these subgroups are parametrized by the pairs of additive subgroups one of which may fail to be a field and, for the type \( B_{2} \), even both additive subgroups may fail to be fields. In this paper for the carpet subgroups admitting a Bruhat decomposition we present the relations similar to those well known for Chevalley groups over fields.

     

Supercyclicity in Spaces of Operators

A sufficient criterion for the map \({C_{A, B}(S) = ASB}\) to be supercyclic on certain algebras of operators on Banach spaces is given. If T is an operator satisfying the Supercyclicity Criterion on a Hilbert space H, then the linear map \({C_{T}(V) = TVT^*}\) is shown to be norm-supercyclic on the algebra \({\mathcal{K}(H)}\) of all compact operators, COT-supercyclic on the real subspace \({\mathcal{S}(H)}\) of all self-adjoint operators and weak*-supercyclic on \({\mathcal{L}(H)}\) of all bounded operators on H. Examples including operators of the form \({C_{B_w, F_\mu}}\) are provided, where B_w and \({F_\mu}\) are respectively backward and forward shifts on Banach sequence spaces.     

Littlewood–Paley and Finite Atomic Characterizations of Anisotropic Variable Hardy–Lorentz Spaces and Their Applications

Let \(p(\cdot ):\ {{\mathbb {R}}}^n\rightarrow (0,\infty ]\) be a variable exponent function satisfying the globally log-Hölder continuous condition, \(q\in (0,\infty ]\) and A be a general expansive matrix on \({\mathbb {R}}^n\). Let \(H_A^{p(\cdot ),q}({{\mathbb {R}}}^n)\) be the anisotropic variable Hardy–Lorentz space associated with A defined via the radial grand maximal function. In this article, the authors characterize \(H_A^{p(\cdot ),q}({{\mathbb {R}}}^n)\) by means of the Littlewood–Paley g-function or the Littlewood–Paley \(g_\lambda ^*\)-function via first establishing an anisotropic Fefferman–Stein vector-valued inequality on the variable Lorentz space \(L^{p(\cdot ),q}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). Moreover, the finite atomic characterization of \(H_A^{p(\cdot ),q}({{\mathbb {R}}}^n)\) is also obtained. As applications, the authors then establish a criterion on the boundedness of sublinear operators from \(H^{p(\cdot ),q}_A({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) into a quasi-Banach space. Applying this criterion, the authors show that the maximal operators of the Bochner–Riesz and the Weierstrass means are bounded from \(H^{p(\cdot ),q}_A({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) to \(L^{p(\cdot ),q}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) and, as consequences, some almost everywhere and norm convergences of these Bochner–Riesz and Weierstrass means are also obtained. These results on the Bochner–Riesz and the Weierstrass means are new even in the isotropic case.

     

$$L^p$$Lp-Boundedness and $$L^p$$Lp-Nuclearity of Multilinear Pseudo-differential Operators on $${\mathbb {Z}}^n$$Zn and the Torus $${\mathbb {T}}^n$$Tn

In this article, we begin a systematic study of the boundedness and the nuclearity properties of multilinear periodic pseudo-differential operators and multilinear discrete pseudo-differential operators on \(L^p\)-spaces. First, we prove analogues of known multilinear Fourier multipliers theorems (proved by Coifman and Meyer, Grafakos, Tomita, Torres, Kenig, Stein, Fujita, Tao, etc.) in the context of periodic and discrete multilinear pseudo-differential operators. For this, we use the periodic analysis of pseudo-differential operators developed by Ruzhansky and Turunen. Later, we investigate the s-nuclearity, \(0<s \le 1,\) of periodic and discrete pseudo-differential operators. To accomplish this, we classify those s-nuclear multilinear integral operators on arbitrary Lebesgue spaces defined on \(\sigma \)-finite measures spaces. We also study similar properties for periodic Fourier integral operators. Finally, we present some applications of our study to deduce the periodic Kato–Ponce inequality and to examine the s-nuclearity of multilinear Bessel potentials as well as the s-nuclearity of periodic Fourier integral operators admitting suitable types of singularities.

     

Analysis of a Free Boundary Problem Modeling the Growth of Spherically Symmetric Tumors with Angiogenesis

This paper is concerned with a free boundary problem modeling the growth of a spherically symmetric tumor with angiogenesis. The unknown nutrient concentration \(\sigma =\sigma (r,t)\) occupies the unknown tumor region \(r< R(t)\) and satisfies a nonlinear reaction diffusion equation, and the unknown tumor radius \(R=R(t)\) satisfies a nonlinear integro-differential equation. Unlike existing literatures on this topic where Dirichlet boundary condition for \(\sigma \) is imposed, in this paper the model uses the Robin boundary condition for \(\sigma \). We prove existence and uniqueness of a global in-time classical solution (\(\sigma (r,t),R(t)\)) for arbitrary \(c>0\) and establish asymptotic stability of the unique stationary solution (\(\sigma _{s}(r),R_{s}\)) for sufficiently small \(c\), where \(c\) is a positive constant reflecting the ratio between nutrient diffusion scale and the tumor cell-doubling scale.

     

Upper triangular matrix operators with diagonal (T_1,T_2), T_2 k-nilpotent

If \(T=\left(\begin{array}{clcr}T_1&\quad C\\ 0&\quad T_2\end{array}\right) \in B(\mathcal{X }_1\oplus \mathcal{X }_2)\) is a Banach space upper triangular operator matrix with diagonal \((T_1, T_2)\) such that \(T_2\) is \(k\)-nilpotent for some integer \(k\ge 1\), then \(T\) inherits a number of its spectral properties, such as SVEP, Bishop’s property \((\beta )\) and the equality of Browder and Weyl spectrum, from those of \(T_1\). This paper studies such operators. The conclusions are then applied to provide a general framework for results pertaining (for example) to Browder, Weyl type theorems and supercyclicity for classes of Hilbert space operators, such as \(k\)-quasi hyponormal, \(k\)-quasi isometric and \(k\)-quasi paranormal operators, defined by a positivity condition.     

A van der Corput-type lemma for power bounded operators

We prove a van der Corput-type lemma for power bounded Hilbert space operators. As a corollary we show that \(N^{-1}\sum _{n=1}^N T^{p(n)}\) converges in the strong operator topology for all power bounded Hilbert space operators T and all polynomials p satisfying \(p(\mathbb {N}_0)\subset \mathbb {N}_0\). This generalizes known results for Hilbert space contractions. Similar results are true also for bounded strongly continuous semigroups of operators.     

A class of quasicontractive semigroups acting on Hardy and weighted Hardy spaces

This paper studies semigroups of operators on Hardy and Dirichlet spaces whose generators are differential operators of order greater than one. The theory of forms is used to provide conditions for the generation of semigroups by second order differential operators. Finally, a class of more general weighted Hardy spaces is considered and necessary and sufficient conditions are given for an operator of the form \(f \mapsto Gf^{(n_0)}\) (for holomorphic G and arbitrary \(n_0\)) to generate a semigroup of quasicontractions.     

Generalizations of Alladi’s formula for arithmetical semigroups

In this article, we prove that a general version of Alladi’s formula with Dirichlet convolution holds for arithmetical semigroups satisfying Axiom A or Axiom \(A^{\#}\). As applications, we apply our main results to certain semigroups coming from algebraic number theory, arithmetical geometry, and graph theory.
