Some functional inequalities and their Baire category properties

Summary In the paper we consider, from a topological point of view, the set of all continuous functionsf:I I for which the unique continuous solution:I – [0, ) of(f(x)) (x, (x)) and(x, (x)) (f(x)) (x, (x)), respectively, is the zero function. We obtain also some corollaries on the qualitative theory of the functional equation(f(x)) = g(x, (x)). No assumption on the iterative behaviour off is imposed.     

Group Classification of Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

We propose an approach to problems of group classification. By using this approach, we perform a complete group classification of nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form i _t + + F(, *) = 0.     

Büschel linearer Abbildungen

If , , are linear mappings out of a projective space (P,G) into a projective space (P', G') and , then is said to belong to the pencil <,<> of linear mappings spanned by and if in the main (x), (x), (x) are collinear for all x P. We give some sufficient conditions for x P and , , such that (x) is uniquely determined by giving, and (z), z P.

Sûto's method applied to a problem of Färe and Mitchell

Summary A real solution of the functional equation(x + (y – x)) = f(x) + g(y) + h(x)k(y) on a set ² is a 6-tuple (f, g, h, k, , ) of real valued functions such that the equation is identically fulfilled on. Except for cases known before—e.g. when is linear—we present all real solutions in an arbitrary region where the functions have derivatives of second order.     

The continuous solution of a functional equation of Abel

Summary The functional equation(x) + (y) = (xf(y) + yf(x)) (1) for the unknown functionsf, and mapping reals into reals appears in the title of N. H. Abel's paper [1] from 1827 and its differentiable solutions are given there. In 1900 D. Hilbert pointed to (1), and to other functional equations considered by Abel, in the second part of his fifth problem. He asked if these equations could be solved without, for instance, assumption of differentiability of given and unknown functions. Hilbert's question was recalled by J. Aczél in 1987, during the 25th International Symposium on Functional Equations in Hamburg-Rissen. In particular Aczél asked for all continuous solutions of (1). An answer to his question is contained in our paper. We determine all continuous functionsf: I ,: A _f (I × I) and: I that satisfy (1). HereI denotes a real interval containing 0 andA _f (x,y) := xf(y) + yf(x), x, y I. The list contains not only the differentiable solutions, implicitly described by Abel, but also some nondifferentiable ones.Applying some results of C. T. Ng and A. Járai we are able to obtain even a more general result. For instance, the assertion (i.e. the list of solutions) remains unchanged if we replace continuity of and by local boundedness of orf(0)I from above or below. Strengthening a bit the assumptions onf we can preserve a large part of the assertion requiring only the measurability of either orf(0)I.     

Feller Processes Generated by Pseudo-Differential Operators: On the Hausdorff Dimension of Their Sample Paths

Let {X _t} _t0 be a Feller process generated by a pseudo-differential operator whose symbol satisfiesÇⁿ|q(Ç,)|c(1=)()) for some fixed continuous negative definite function (). The Hausdorff dimension of the set {X _t:tE}, E [0, 1] is any analytic set, is a.s. bounded above by dim E. is the Blumenthal–Getoor upper index of the Levy Process associated with ().     

Inclusion statements for operator equations by a continuity principle

The paper is concerned with Range-Domain Implications MvCvK, where M is a given operator and C,K denote given sets. Sufficient conditions are derived by a very general continuity principle. Various special cases are considered such as inverse-positivity, MvMwvw, and a generalization H(,[,])MvH(,[,]) v, where Mu=H(u,u) and [,] denotes an order interval. These results are applied to differential operators related to boundary or initial value problems. The goal is to furnish a simple uniform approach, to explain its application, and to provide a kind of survey on what problems have been treated in this way.     

Elliptic boundary-value problems with discontinuous nonlinearities

For a class of elliptic boundary value problems with discontinuous nonlinearities, the existence of strong solutions is established. Two applications are then developed. In particular, one of them is devoted to implicit elliptic equations of the form (–u)=(u), where is a continuous function and has a set of discontinuity points of Lebesgue measure zero. The abstract framework where these problems are studied is that of set-valued analysis.     

When do Toeplitz and Hankel operators commute?

We completely classify all Toeplitz and Hankel operators which commute; namely, we prove that that a non-trivial Hankel operator and a non-trivial Toeplitz operator commute if and only if the Hankel operator has symbolz, where is the symbol of the Toeplitz operator, and is an affine function of the characteristic function of certain anti-symmetric sets of the unit circle.     

Sur les équations fonctionnelles auxq-différences

Summary In this paper, we study the convergence of formal power series solutions of functional equations of the formP _k(x)(^[k](x))=(x), where ^[k] (x) denotes thek-th iterate of the function.We obtain results similar to the results of Malgrange and Ramis for formal solutions of differential equations: if(0) = 0, and(0) =q is a nonzero complex number with absolute value less than one then, if(x)=a(n)x ⁿ is a divergent solution, there exists a positive real numbers such that the power seriesa(n)q ^sn(n+1)2 x ⁿ has a finite and nonzero radius of convergence.

Einschließungsaussagen für gewöhnliche Differentialoperatoren

Summary For differential operatorsM of second order (as defined in (1.1)) we describe a method to prove Range-Domain implications—Mu–u and an algorithm to construct these functions , , , . This method has been especially developed for application to non-inverse-positive differential operators. For example, for non-negativea ₂ and for given functions = we require =C ₀[0, 1] C ₂([0, 1]–T) whereT is some finite set), (M) (t)(t), (t[0, 1]–T) and certain additional conditions for eachtT. Such Range-Domain implications can be used to obtain a numerical error estimation for the solution of a boundary value problemMu=r; further, we use them to guarantee the existence of a solution of nonlinear boundary value problems between the bounds- and .     

Topologically invariant linear forms on spaces of abstract distributions on a locally compact abelian group

A special case of the main result proved in this paper is the following. IfG is a locally compact, -compact, non-compact connected abelian group, thenL ² (G)={f–*f:fL ² (G), L ¹ (G), 0 and _G =1}. In this case, any topologically invariant linear form onL ² (G) is 0.     

Diameters of a class of smooth functions in the space L2

The class V, consisting of the smooth functions f(t), ot1, satisfying the condition ₀ ¹ [f ^(r) (t)]dt1, where the function (t) is nonnegative and r is a natural number, is studied. Under certain restrictions on the function (t) ensuring the compactness of the class V, the order of decrease of the Kolmogorov diameters d_n(V) is computed. The analogous problem for the case r=1 is solved also for functions of several variables.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 22, No. 5, pp. 671–678, November, 1977.     

Translation Invariant Positive Definite Hermitian Bilinear Ultradistributions

Every translation invariant positive definite Hermitian bilinear functional on the Gel'fand-Shilov space sMpMp(n×nK) of general type S is of the form B(,) = (x)(x)d(x), , sMpMp (n), where is a positive {M}-tempered measure, i.e., for every > 0 exp[-M(|x|)] d(x) < . To prove this we prove Schwartz kernel theorem for {M}-tempered ultradistributions and need Bochner-Schwartz theorem for {M}-tempered ultradistributions. Our result includes most of the quasianalytic cases. Also, we obtain parallel results for the case of Beurling type (Mp.

Sur certaines algèbres associées à une mesure de Guelfand

Let be a Guelfand measure (cf. [A, B]) on a locally compact groupG DenoteL ₁ (G)=*L ₁(G)* the commutative Banach algebra associated to . We show thatL ₁ (G) is semi-simple and give a characterization of the closed ideals ofL ₁ (G). Using the -spherical Fourier transform, we characterize all linear bounded operators inL ₁ (G) which are invariants by -translations (i.e. such that ¹(( _x f) )=( _x ((f)) for eachxG andfL ₁ (G); where _x f(y)=f(xy); x,y G). WhenG is compact, we study the algebraL ₁ (G) and obtain results analogous to ones obtained for the commutative case: we show thatL ₁ (G) is regular, all closed sets of its Guelfand spectrum are sets of synthesis and establish theorems of harmonic synthesis for functions inL _p (G) (p=1,2 or +).
