On integration of vector functions with respect to vector measures

We study integration of Banach space-valued functions with respect to Banach space-valued measures. We focus our attention on natural extensions to this setting of the Birkhoff and McShane integrals. The corresponding generalization of the Birkhoff integral was first considered by Dobrakov under the name S*-integral. Our main result states that S*-integrability implies McShane integrability in contexts in which the later notion is definable. We also show that a function is measurable and McShane integrable if and only if it is Dobrakov integrable (i.e. Bartle *-integrable).     

Kantorovich–Wright integral and representation of quasi-Banach lattices

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: first, to outline a purely order-based integral of the type of the Kantorovich–Wright integral of scalar functions with respect to a vector measure defined on a δ-ring and taking values in a K _σ-space (that is, a Dedekind σ-complete vector lattice) and, secondly, prove new theorems on the representation of Dedekind complete vector lattices and quasi-Banach lattices in the form of lattices of functions integrable or “weakly” integrable with respect to an appropriate vector measure. In particular, it is shown that, in studying quasi-Banach lattices, when the duality method does not apply, the Kantorovich–Wright integral is more flexible than the Bartle–Dunford–Schwartz integral.     

The greatest regular subalgebra of certain Banach algebras of vector-valued functions

Given an arbitrary commutative complex Banach algebraA, it is shown that, for various classical Banach algebras ofA-valued functions, the greatest regular subalgebra consists precisely of those functions which map into the greatest regular subalgebra ofA. The main result covers the case of continuous and differentiable functions, Lipschitz functions, and Bochner integrable functions on a locally compact abelian group. The principal tools are from the theory of tensor products of Banach algebras.     

Arzela-Ascoli's theorem for Riemann-integrable functions on compact spaces

We recall that the ⁿ-valued Riemann integrable functions resp. more general: the Banach space (algebra) -valued Darboux integrable functions — on the compact support of a non negative Radon measure are a Banach space (algebra) with respect to the ess. sup. norm. It is shown that the Darboux integrable functions with a precompact range also form a Banach space (algebra). For this space we deduce a direct analogue of Arzela-Ascoli's theorem.     

Regularity of Tensor Product Approximations to?Square Integrable Functions

We investigate first-order conditions for canonical and optimal subspace (Tucker format) tensor product approximations to square integrable functions. They reveal that the best approximation and all of its factors have the same smoothness as the approximated function itself. This is not obvious, since the approximation is performed in L ².     

Weak compactness in projective tensor products of Banach spaces

Contrary to a recent conjecture, it is shown that weakly compact subsets of the projective tensor product of Banach spaces X and Y in general are not contained in the closed absolutely convex hull of a tensor product A ⊗ B of weakly compact subsets A of X and B of Y.     

Uniform factorization for compact sets of operators

We prove a factorization result for relatively compact subsets of compact operators using the Bartle and Graves Selection Theorem, a characterization of relatively compact subsets of tensor products due to Grothendieck, and results of Figiel and Johnson on factorization of compact operators. A further proof, essentially based on the Banach-Dieudonné Theorem, is included. Our methods enable us to give an easier proof of a result of W.H. Graves and W.M. Ruess.

DUALITY BETWEEN CARLEMAN AND SEMI-CARLEMAN OPERATORS IN RIESZ SPACES

Abstract

The relation between Carleman and semi-Carleman operators is studied and it is shown that Carleman and semi- Carleman operators are mutually dual with respect to the formation of adjoints. This generalizes work of VB Korotkov.     

Estimation and detection of functions from weighted tensor product spaces

The problems of estimation and detection of an infinitely-variate signal f observed in the continuous white noise model are studied. It is assumed that f belongs to a certain weighted tensor product space. Several examples of such a space are considered. Special attention is given to the tensor product space of analytic functions with exponential weights. In connection with estimating and detecting unknown signal, the problems of rate and sharp optimality are investigated. In particular, it is shown that the use of a weighted tensor product space makes it possible to avoid the “curse of dimensionality” phenomenon.     

Continuity of epimorphisms and derivations on vector-valued group algebras

This paper deals with the automatic continuity theory for the convolution algebra of all Bochner integrable functions from a locally compact abelian group G into an arbitrary unital complex Banach algebra A. For non-compact G, it is shown that all epimorphisms and all derivations on this vector-valued group algebra are necessarily continuous while for compact G, such results depend heavily on the automatic continuity properties of the range algebra a.

Fejér means of functions on noncommutative Vilenkin groups with respect to the character system

Summary It is known that the Fejér means - with respect to the character system of the Walsh, and bounded Vilenkin groups - of an integrable function converge to the function a.e. In this work we discuss analogous problems on the complete product of finite, not necessarily Abelian groups with respect to the character system for functions that are constant on the conjugacy classes. We find that the nonabelian case differs from the commutative case. We prove the a.e. convergence of the (C,1) means of the Fourier series of square integrable functions. We also prove the existence of a function f∊L^q for some q >1 such that sup |σ_n f | = + ∞ a.e. This is a sharp contrast between the Abelian and the nonabelian cases.     

N–Term Approximation in Anisotropic Function Spaces

In L₂(0, 1)²) infinitely many different biorthogonal wavelet bases may be introduced by taking tensor products of one–dimensional biorthogonal wavelet bases on the interval (0, 1). Most well–known are the standard tensor product bases and the hyperbolic bases. In [23, 24] further biorthogonal wavelet bases are introduced, which provide wavelet characterizations for functions in anisotropic Besov spaces. Here we address the following question: Which of those biorthogonal tensor product wavelet bases is the most appropriate one for approximating nonlinearly functions from anisotropic Besov spaces? It turns out, that the hyperbolic bases lead to nonlinear algorithms which converge as fast as the corresponding schemes with respect to specific anisotropy adapted bases.     

Properties of functions generalized convex with respect to a WT-system

Continuity and convergence properties of functions, generalized convex with respect to a continuous weak Tchebysheff system, are investigated. It is shown that, under certain non-degeneracy assumptions on the weak Tchebysheff system, every function in its generalized convex cone is continuous, and pointwise convergent sequences of generalized convex functions are uniformly convergent on compact subsets of the domain. Further, it is proved that, with respect to a continuous Tchebysheff system, L_p-convergence to a continuous function, pointwise convergence and uniform convergence of a sequence of generalized convex functions are equivalent on compact subsets of the domain.     

A Radon–Nikodým theorem for Fréchet measures

We apply results in operator space theory to the setting of multidimensional measure theory. Using the extended Haagerup tensor product of Effros and Ruan, we derive a Radon–Nikodým theorem for bimeasures and then extend the result to general Fréchet measures (scalar-valued polymeasures). We also prove a measure-theoretic Grothendieck inequality, provide a characterization of the injective tensor product of two spaces of Lebesgue integrable functions, and discuss the possibility of a bounded convergence theorem for Fréchet measures.     

On a theorem of Wiener

 Wiener has shown that an integrable function on the circle T which is square integrable near the identity and has nonnegative Fourier transform, is square integrable on all of T. In the last 30 years this has been extended by the work of various authors step by step. The latest result states that, in a suitable reformulation, Wiener's theorem with ``p-integrable' in place of ``square integrable' holds for all even p and fails for all other p  (1, ∞) in the case of a general locally compact abelian group. We extend this to all IN-groups (locally compact groups with at least one invariant compact neighbourhood) and show that an extension to all locally compact groups is not possible: Wiener's theorem fails for all p < ∞ in the case of the ax + b-group.

Small ball probabilities for smooth Gaussian fields and tensor products of compact operators

We find the logarithmic L₂‐small ball asymptotics for a class of zero mean Gaussian fields with covariances having the structure of “tensor product”. The main condition imposed on marginal covariances is slow growth at the origin of counting functions of their eigenvalues. That is valid for Gaussian functions with smooth covariances. Another type of marginal functions considered as well are classical Wiener process, Brownian bridge, Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, etc., in the case of special self‐similar measure of integration. Our results are based on a new theorem on spectral asymptotics for the tensor products of compact self‐adjoint operators in Hilbert space which is of independent interest. Thus, we continue to develop the approach proposed in the paper 6 , where the regular behavior at infinity of marginal eigenvalues was assumed.     

The Denjoy extension of the Riemann and Mcshane integrals

In this paper we study the Denjoy-Riemann and Denjoy-McShane integrals of functions mapping an interval [a, b] into a Banach space X. It is shown that a Denjoy-Bochner integrable function on [a, b] is Denjoy-Riemann integrable on [a, b], that a Denjoy-Riemann integrable function on [a, b] is Denjoy-McShane integrable on [a, b] and that a Denjoy-McShane integrable function on [a, b] is Denjoy-Pettis integrable on [a, b]. In addition, it is shown that for spaces that do not contain a copy of c ₀, a measurable Denjoy-McShane integrable function on [a, b] is McShane integrable on some subinterval of [a, b]. Some examples of functions that are integrable in one sense but not another are included.
