Weak type inequality for noncommutative differentially subordinated martingales

In the paper we focus on self-adjoint noncommutative martingales. We provide an extension of the notion of differential subordination, which is due to Burkholder in the commutative case. Then we show that there is a noncommutative analogue of the Burkholder method of proving martingale inequalities, which allows us to establish the weak type (1,1) inequality for differentially subordinated martingales. Moreover, a related sharp maximal weak type (1,1) inequality is proved. Research supported by MEN Grant 1 PO3A 012 29.     

On the mutually non isomorphic ℓp(ℓq) spaces

The existence of solutions for an impulsive fractional coupled system of (p,q)‐Laplacian type without the Ambrosetti‐Rabinowitz condition

In this article, based on the variational approach, the existence of at least one nontrivial solution is studied for (p, q)‐Laplacian type impulsive fractional differential equations involving Riemann‐Liouville derivatives. Without the usual Ambrosetti‐Rabinowitz condition, the nonlinearity f in the paper is considered under some suitable assumptions.     

A “Sup + C Inf” inequality for Liouville‐type equations with singular potentials

We generalize a Harnack‐type inequality (I. Shafrir, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 315 (1992), 159–164), for solutions of Liouville equations to the case where the weight function may admit zeroes or singularities of power‐type |x|^2α, with α ∈ (?1, 1). © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

On the global weak solutions for a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation

In this paper, we investigate the existence of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation with the initial data satisfying lim_{x → ±∞}u₀(x) = u_±. By perturbing the Cauchy problem around a rarefaction wave, we obtain a global weak solution for the system under the assumption u_? ≤ u₊. The global weak solution is obtained as a limit of approximation solutions. The key elements in our analysis are the Helly theorem and the estimation of energy for approximation solutions in $H^1(\mathbb {R})\times H^1(\mathbb {R})In this paper, we investigate the existence of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of a modified two‐component Camassa‐Holm equation with the initial data satisfying lim_{x → ±∞}u₀(x) = u_±.

Multiple solutions for a Robin‐type differential inclusion problem involving the p(x)‐Laplacian

In this paper, we obtain the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions for a Robin‐type differential inclusion problem involving p(x)‐Laplacian type operator and nonsmooth potentials. Our approach is variational, and it is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

(p,q)‐Generalization of Szász–Mirakyan operators

In this paper, we introduce new modifications of Szász–Mirakyan operators based on (p,q)‐integers. We first give a recurrence relation for the moments of new operators and present explicit formula for the moments and central moments up to order 4. Some approximation properties of new operators are explored: the uniform convergence over bounded and unbounded intervals is established, direct approximation properties of the operators in terms of the moduli of smoothness is obtained and Voronovskaya theorem is presented. For the particular case p = 1, the previous results for q‐Sz ász–Mirakyan operators are captured. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solvability and Stability for Singular Fractional (p,q)-difference Equation

In this paper, we initiate the solvability and stability for a class of singular fractional $(p,q)$-difference equations. First, we obtain an existence theorem of solution for the fractional $(p,q)$-difference equation. Then, by using a fractional $(p,q)$-Gronwall inequality, some stability criteria of solution are established, which also implies the uniqueness of solution.     

Repulsive knot energies and pseudodifferential calculus for O’Hara’s knot energy family E(α), α ∈ [2, 3)

We develop a precise analysis of J. O’Hara’s knot functionals E^(α), α ∈ [2, 3), that serve as self‐repulsive potentials on (knotted) closed curves. First we derive continuity of E^(α) on injective and regular H² curves and then we establish Fréchet differentiability of E^(α) and state several first variation formulae. Motivated by ideas of Z.‐X. He in his work on the specific functional E⁽²⁾, the so‐called Möbius Energy, we prove C^∞‐smoothness of critical points of the appropriately rescaled functionals $\tilde{E}^{(\alpha )}= {\rm length}^{\alpha -2}E^{(\alpha )}$ by means of fractional Sobolev spaces on a periodic interval and bilinear Fourier multipliers.     

Homogeneous polynomials and extensions of Hardy‐Hilbert's inequality

If L is a continuous symmetric n‐linear form on a real or complex Hilbert space and $\widehat{L}$ is the associated continuous n‐homogeneous polynomial, then $\Vert L\Vert =\big \Vert \widehat{L}\big \Vert$. We give a simple proof of this well‐known result, which works for both real and complex Hilbert spaces, by using a classical inequality due to S. Bernstein for trigonometric polynomials. As an application, an open problem for the optimal lower bound of the norm of a homogeneous polynomial, which is a product of linear forms, is related to the so‐called permanent function of an n × n positive definite Hermitian matrix. We have also derived generalizations of Hardy‐Hilbert's inequality.     

Some exact solutions for Toda type lattice differential equations using the improved (G′/G)‐expansion method

Nonlinear lattice differential equations (also known as differential‐difference equations) appear in many applications. They can be thought of as hybrid systems for the inclusion of both discrete and continuous variables. On the basis of an improved version of the basic (G′/G)‐expansion method, we focus our attention towards some Toda type lattice differential systems for constructing further exact traveling wave solutions. Our method provides not only solitary and periodic wave profiles but also rational solutions with more arbitrary parameters. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence results for a class of nonlocal problems involving p(x)‐Laplacian

The discrete (G′/G)‐expansion method applied to the differential‐difference Burgers equation and the relativistic Toda lattice system

We introduce the discrete (G′/G)‐expansion method for solving nonlinear differential–difference equations (NDDEs). As illustrative examples, we consider the differential–difference Burgers equation and the relativistic Toda lattice system. Discrete solitary, periodic, and rational solutions are obtained in a concise manner. The method is also applicable to other types of NDDEs. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Limit theorems for radial random walks on p × q‐matrices as p tends to infinity

For a fixed probability measure ν ∈ M¹([0, ∞[) and any dimension $ p\in {\mathbb N}$ there is a unique radial probability measure $ \nu_p\in M^1({\mathbb R}^p)$ with ν as its radial part. In this paper we study the limit behavior of ‖S^p_n‖₂ for the associated radial random walks (S_n)_n≥0 on $ {\mathbb R}^p$ whenever n, p tend to ∞ in some coupled way. In particular, weak and strong laws of large numbers as well as a large deviation principle are presented. In fact, we shall derive these results in a higher rank setting, where $ {\mathbb R}^p$ is replaced by the space of p × q matrices and [0, ∞[ by the cone Π_q of positive semidefinite matrices. All proofs are based on the fact that in this general setting the (S^p_k)_k≥0 form Markov chains on Π_q whose transition probabilities are given in terms Bessel functions J_μ of matrix argument with an index μ depending on p. The limit theorems then follow from new asymptotic results for the J_μ as μ → ∞. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim     

On the (p,q)$(p,q)$-type strong law of large numbers for sequences of independent random variables

Li, Qi, and Rosalsky (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 368 (2016), no. 1, 539–561) introduced a refinement of the Marcinkiewicz–Zygmund strong law of large numbers (SLLN), the so-called $(p,q)$-type SLLN, where and $q>0$. They obtained sets of necessary and sufficient conditions for this new type SLLN for two cases: , $q>p$, and . Results for the case where and remain open problems. This paper gives a complete solution to these problems. We consider random variables taking values in a real separable Banach space $\mathbf{B}$, but the results are new even when $\mathbf{B}$ is the real line. Furthermore, the conditions for a sequence of random variables $\left\{X_n,n\ge 1\right\}$ satisfying the $(p,q)$-type SLLN are shown to provide an exact characterization of stable type p Banach spaces.

The 2‐Blocking Number and the Upper Chromatic Number of PG(2,q)

A twofold blocking set (double blocking set) in a finite projective plane Π is a set of points, intersecting every line in at least two points. The minimum number of points in a double blocking set of Π is denoted by τ₂(Π). Let PG(2,q) be the Desarguesian projective plane over GF(q), the finite field of q elements. We show that if q is odd, not a prime, and r is the order of the largest proper subfield of GF(q), then τ₂PG(2,q))≤ 2(q+(q‐1)/(r‐1)). For a finite projective plane Π, let denote the maximum number of classes in a partition of the point‐set, such that each line has at least two points in some partition class. It can easily be seen that (?) for every plane Π on v points. Let , p prime. We prove that for , equality holds in (?) if q and p are large enough.     

Existence result for a gradient-type elliptic system involving a pair of p(x) and q(x)-Laplacian operators

In this paper, we deal with a typical gradient elliptic system involving a pair of p(x) and q(x)-Laplacian operators. Furthermore, the system may have nonlinearities with sign-changing. Precisely, we are interested in seeking at least one weak nontrivial solution. In this way, we establish explicitly a pair of lower and upper solutions having radial forms and related to the system. By applying the theory of monotone operators, we show that the system possesses at least one non-trivial and bounded solution.
