Let be two positive integers. For , let the self‐similar measure be defined by . It is known [18] that is a spectral measure with a spectrum where . In this paper, we give some conditions on under which the scaling set is also a spectrum of .     

Operators from the Hardy space to the α‐Bloch space

Let be a bounded symmetric domain realized as the open unit ball of a finite dimensional JB*‐triple X. In this paper, we characterize the bounded weighted composition operators from the Hardy space into the α‐Bloch space on . Also, we show the multiplication operator from into is bounded. Finally, we show that there exist no isometric composition operators.     

A note on the eigenvalues of p‐fractional Hardy–Sobolev operator with indefinite weight

In this article, we study the eigenvalues of p‐fractional Hardy operator where , , , and Ω is an unbounded domain in with Lipschitz boundary containing 0. The weight function V may change sign and may have singular points. We also show that the least positive eigenvalue is simple and it is uniquely associated to a nonnegative eigenfunction. Moreover, we proved that there exists a sequence of eigenvalues as .     

Embedding Banach spaces into the space of bounded functions with countable support

We prove that a WLD subspace of the space consisting of all bounded, countably supported functions on a set Γ embeds isomorphically into if and only if it does not contain isometric copies of . Moreover, a subspace of is constructed that has an unconditional basis, does not embed into , and whose every weakly compact subset is separable (in particular, it cannot contain any isomorphic copies of ).     

‐Theory for Schrödinger systems

In this article, we study for the ‐realization of the vector‐valued Schrödinger operator . Using a noncommutative version of the Dore–Venni theorem due to Monniaux and Prüss, we prove that the ‐realization of , defined on the intersection of the natural domains of the differential and multiplication operators which form , generates a strongly continuous contraction semigroup on . We also study additional properties of the semigroup such as extension to L¹, positivity, ultracontractivity and prove that the generator has compact resolvent.     

Well‐posedness of fractional integro‐differential equations in vector‐valued functional spaces

We study the well‐posedness of the fractional differential equations with infinite delay on Lebesgue–Bochner spaces and Besov spaces , where A and B are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying ,  and . Under suitable assumptions on the kernels a and b, we completely characterize the well‐posedness of in the above vector‐valued function spaces on by using known operator‐valued Fourier multiplier theorems. We also give concrete examples where our abstract results may be applied.     

A T1 theorem and Calderón–Zygmund operators in Campanato spaces on domains

Given a Lipschitz domain , a Calderón–Zygmund operator T and a modulus of continuity , we solve the problem when the truncated operator sends the Campanato space into itself. The solution is a T1 type sufficient and necessary condition for the characteristic function of D: To check the hypotheses of T1 theorem we need extra restrictions on both the boundary of D and the operator T. It is proved that the truncated Calderón–Zygmund operator with an even kernel is bounded on , provided D is a ‐smooth domain.     

On the limit Sobolev regularity for Dirichlet and Neumann problems on Lipschitz domains

We construct a bounded C¹ domain Ω in for which the regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists f in such that the solution of in Ω and either on or on is contained in but not in for any . An analogous result holds for Sobolev spaces with .     

Noncommutative topology and Jordan operator algebras

Jordan operator algebras are norm‐closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with for all . We study noncommutative topology, noncommutative peak sets and peak interpolation, and hereditary subalgebras of Jordan operator algebras. We show that Jordan operator algebras present perhaps the most general setting for a “full” noncommutative topology in the ‐algebraic sense of Akemann, L. G. Brown, Pedersen, etc, and as modified for not necessarily selfadjoint algebras by the authors with Read, Hay and other coauthors. Our breakthrough relies in part on establishing several strong variants of ‐algebraic results of Brown relating to hereditary subalgebras, proximinality, deeper facts about for a left ideal L in a ‐algebra, noncommutative Urysohn lemmas, etc. We also prove several other approximation results in ‐algebras and various subspaces of ‐algebras, related to open and closed projections and technical ‐algebraic results of Brown.     

On heteroclinic solutions for BVPs involving ‐Laplacian operators without asymptotic or growth assumptions

In this paper we consider the second order discontinuous equation in the real line, with ? an increasing homeomorphism such that and , with , for , a L¹‐Carathéodory function and verifying an adequate relation. We remark that the existence of heteroclinic solutions is obtained without asymptotic or growth assumptions on the nonlinearities ? and f. Moreover, as far as we know, our main result is even new when , that is, for the equation      

Isomorphisms of spaces with large distortion

Let K and S be locally compact Hausdorff spaces and let X be a strictly convex Banach space of finite dimension at least 2. In this paper, we prove that if there exists an isomorphism T from onto satisfying then K and S are homeomorphic. Here denotes the Schäffer constant of X. Even for the classical cases , and , this result is the X‐valued Banach–Stone theorem via isomorphism with the largest distortion that is known so far, namely . On the other hand, it is well known that this result is not true for , even though K and S are compact Hausdorff spaces.     

The concentration behavior of ground state solutions for a critical fractional Schrödinger–Poisson system

In this paper, we study the following critical fractional Schrödinger–Poisson system where is a small parameter, and , is the fractional critical exponent for 3‐dimension, has a positive global minimum, and are positive and have global maximums. We obtain the existence of a positive ground state solution by using variational methods, and we determine a concrete set related to the potentials and Q as the concentration position of these ground state solutions as . Moreover, we consider some properties of these ground state solutions, such as convergence and decay estimate.     

Decomposition of integral self‐affine multi‐tiles

In contrast to the situation with self‐affine tiles, the representation of self‐affine multi‐tiles may not be unique (for a fixed dilation matrix). Let be an integral self‐affine multi‐tile associated with an integral, expansive matrix B and let K tile by translates of . In this work, we propose a stepwise method to decompose K into measure disjoint pieces  satisfying in such a way that the collection of sets forms an integral self‐affine collection associated with the matrix B and this with a minimum number of pieces . When used on a given measurable subset K which tiles by translates of , this decomposition terminates after finitely many steps if and only if the set K is an integral self‐affine multi‐tile. Furthermore, we show that the minimal decomposition we provide is unique.     

Conjugacy classes,characters and products of elements

Recently, Baumslag and Wiegold proved that a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if for every of coprime order. Motivated by this result, we study the groups with the property that and those with the property that for every and every nontrivial of pairwise coprime order. We also consider several ways of weakening the hypothesis on x and y. While the result of Baumslag and Wiegold is completely elementary, some of our arguments here depend on (parts of) the classification of finite simple groups.     

Twisted Orlicz algebras,II

Let G be a locally compact group, let be a 2‐cocycle, and let () be a complementary pair of strictly increasing continuous Young functions. We continue our investigation in [14] of the algebraic properties of the Orlicz space with respect to the twisted convolution ? coming from Ω. We show that the twisted Orlicz algebra posses a bounded approximate identity if and only if it is unital if and only if G is discrete. On the other hand, under suitable condition on Ω, becomes an Arens regular, dual Banach algebra. We also look into certain cohomological properties of , namely amenability and Connes‐amenability, and show that they rarely happen. We apply our methods to compactly generated group of polynomial growth and demonstrate that our results could be applied to variety of cases.     

A Szegő limit theorem for translation‐invariant operators on polygons

We prove Szeg?‐type trace asymptotics for translation‐invariant operators on polygons. More precisely, consider a Fourier multiplier on with a sufficiently decaying, smooth symbol . Let be the interior of a polygon and, for , define its scaled version . Then we study the spectral asymptotics for the operator , the spatial restriction of A onto : for entire functions h with we provide a complete asymptotic expansion of as . These trace asymptotics consist of three terms that reflect the geometry of the polygon. If P is replaced by a domain with smooth boundary, a complete asymptotic expansion of the trace has been known for more than 30 years. However, for polygons the formula for the constant order term in the asymptotics is new. In particular, we show that each corner of the polygon produces an extra contribution; as a consequence, the constant order term exhibits an anomaly similar to the heat trace asymptotics for the Dirichlet Laplacian.     

There are eight‐element orthogonal exponentials on the spatial Sierpinski gasket

The self‐affine measure corresponding to an expanding matrix and the digit set in the space is supported on the spatial Sierpinski gasket, where are the standard basis of unit column vectors in and . In the case and , it is conjectured that the cardinality of orthogonal exponentials in the Hilbert space is at most “4”, where the number 4 is the best upper bound. That is, all the four‐element sets of orthogonal exponentials are maximal. This conjecture has been proved to be false by giving a class of the five‐element orthogonal exponentials in . In the present paper, we construct a class of the eight‐element orthogonal exponentials in the corresponding Hilbert space to disprove the conjecture. We also illustrate that the constructed sets of orthogonal exponentials are maximal.     

The Tarski irredundant basis theorem and the finite soluble groups

Denote by and , respectively, the smallest and the largest cardinality of a minimal generating set of a finite group G. The Tarski irredundant basis theorem implies that for every k with there exist a minimal generating set , an index and in G such that is again a minimal generating set of G. In this case we say that is an immediate descendant of ω. There are several examples of minimal generating sets of cardinality smaller than which have no immediate descendant and so it appears an interesting problem to investigate under which conditions an immediate descendant exists. In this paper we discuss this problem in the case of finite soluble groups.     

A geometric property in and its applications

In this work, we initiate the study of the geometry of the variable exponent sequence space when . In 1931 Orlicz introduced the variable exponent sequence spaces while studying lacunary Fourier series. Since then, much progress has been made in the understanding of these spaces and of their continuous counterpart. In particular, it is well known that is uniformly convex if and only if the exponent is bounded away from 1 and infinity. The geometry of when either or remains largely ill‐understood. We state and prove a modular version of the geometric property of when , known as uniform convexity in every direction. We present specific applications to fixed point theory. In particular we obtain an analogue to the classical Kirk's fixed point theorem in when .
