A generalization of the Strassen converse

This note is devoted to a generalization of the Strassen converse. Let gn:R^∞→[0,∞], n?1 be a sequence of measurable functions such that, for every n?1, and for all x,y∈R^∞, where 0<C<∞ is a constant which is independent of n. Let be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. Assume that there exist r?1 and a function ?:[0,∞)→[0,∞) with limt→∞?(t)=∞, depending only on the sequence such that lim supn→∞gn(X₁,X₂,…)=?(Er|X|) a.s. whenever Er|X|<∞ and EX=0. We prove the converse result, namely that lim supn→∞gn(X₁,X₂,…)<∞ a.s. implies Er|X|<∞ (and EX=0 if, in addition, lim supn→∞gn(c,c,…)=∞ for all c≠0). Some applications are provided to illustrate this result.

The Mazur product map on Hardy-type sequence spaces

We study certain Hardy-type sequence spaces Hp and , 1?p?∞, which are analogues of ?^∞ and c₀, respectively. We show that the Mazur product is not onto for every p∈(1,∞) with q=p⁻¹(p−1). We present corollaries for spaces defined via weighted ?p seminorms and for c₀. The latter corollary provides a new solution of Mazur's Problem 8 in the Scottish Book.     

Large deviations for martingales and derivatives

Fix a sequence of positive integers (mn) and a sequence of positive real numbers (wn). Two closely related sequences of linear operators (Tn) are considered. One sequence has given by the Lebesgue derivatives . The other sequence has given by the dyadic martingale when (l−1)/n²?x<l/n² for l=1,…,n². We prove both positive and negative results concerning the convergence of .     

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator

Let f(z) be a normalized convex (starlike) function on the unit disc D. Let , where z=(z₁,z₂,…,z_n), z₁∈D, , p_i?1, i=2,…,n, are real numbers. In this note, we prove that Φ(f)(z)=(f(z₁),f′(z₁)^1/p₂z₂,…,f′(z₁)^1/p_nz_n) is a normalized convex (starlike) mapping on Ω, where we choose the power function such that (f′(z₁))^1/p_i|_z1=0=1, i=2,…,n. Some other related results are proved.

Variation of parameters and solutions of composite products of linear differential equations

Given a basis of solutions to k ordinary linear differential equations ?j[y]=0(j=1,2,…,k), we show how Green's functions can be used to construct a basis of solutions to the homogeneous differential equation ?[y]=0, where ? is the composite product ?=?₁?₂…?k. The construction of these solutions is elementary and classical. In particular, we consider the special case when . Remarkably, in this case, if {y₁,y₂,…,yn} is a basis of ?₁[y]=0, then our method produces a basis of for any k∈N. We illustrate our results with several classical differential equations and their special function solutions.

On zero varieties of holomorphic functions in Hardy spaces

In contrast to the famous Henkin-Skoda theorem concerning the zero varieties of holomorphic functions in the Nevanlinna class on the open unit ball B_n in , n?2, it is proved in this article that for any nonnegative, increasing, convex function ?(t) defined on , there exists satisfying such that there is no f∈H^p(B_n), 0<p<∞, with . Here N_g(ζ,1) denotes the integrated zero counting function associated with the slice function g_ζ. This means that the zero sets of holomorphic functions belonging to the Hardy spaces H^p(B_n), 0<p<∞, unlike that of the holomorphic functions in the Nevanlinna class, cannot be characterized in the above manner.
