L p Spectral Independence of Elliptic Operators via Commutator Estimates

Let {T _p:q ₁ p q ₂} be a family of consistent C ₀ semigroups on L ^p(), with q ₁,q ₂ [1,) and open. We show that certain commutator conditions on T _p and on the resolvent of its generator A _p ensure the p independence of the spectrum of A _p for p [q ₁,q ₂.Applications include the case of Petrovskij correct systems with Hölder continuous coefficients, Schrödinger operators, and certain elliptic operators in divergence form with real, but not necessarily symmetric, or complex coefficients.     

An Efficient Algorithm for Generating Univariate Cubic L 1 Splines

An active set based algorithm for calculating the coefficients of univariate cubic L ₁ splines is developed. It decomposes the original problem in a geometric-programming setting into independent optimization problems of smaller sizes. This algorithm requires only simple algebraic operations to obtain an exact optimal solution in a finite number of iterations. In stability and computational efficiency, the algorithm outperforms a currently widely used discretization-based primal affine algorithm.

The L p -curvature images of convex bodies and L p -projection bodies

Associated with the L _p -curvature image defined by Lutwak, some inequalities for extended mixed p-affine surface areas of convex bodies and the support functions of L _p -projection bodies are established. As a natural extension of a result due to Lutwak, an L _p -type affine isoperimetric inequality, whose special cases are L _p -Busemann-Petty centroid inequality and L _p -affine projection inequality, respectively, is established. Some L _p -mixed volume inequalities involving L _p -projection bodies are also established.     

Connections between stability and asymptotic stability of nonlinear switched systems

Here are considered nonlinear switched systems in which the switching occurs among a class of subsystems that are characterized by input–output properties stated in terms of L_p spaces of signals. The relationships between the L_p stability of each subsystem and the internal stability of the switched system are studied. In particular, conditions on the dwell time of the switching signals that guarantee the asymptotic stability of the overall system are provided. The connections among these conditions and the L_p input–output properties of the subsystems are investigated.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-mixed intersection bodies

In this paper the author first introduce a new concept of L _p -dual mixed volumes of star bodies which extends the classical dual mixed volumes. Moreover, we extend the notions of L _p intersection body to L _p -mixed intersection body. Inequalities for L _p -dual mixed volumes of L _p -mixed intersection bodies are established and the results established here provide new estimates for these type of inequalities.

An analogue of Montel's theorem for some classes of rational functions

For sequences of rational functions, analytic in some domain, a theorem of Montel's type is proved. As an application, sequences of rational functions of the best L _p -approximation with an unbounded number of finite poles are considered.     

Some complete metrics on spaces of fuzzy subsets

The classes of the L_p,∞- and L_p-metrics play an important role to develop a probability theory in fuzzy sample spaces. All of these metrics are known to be separable, but not complete. The classes are closely related as for each L_p,∞-metric there exists some L_p-metric which induces the same topology. This paper deals with the completion of the L_p,∞- and L_p-metrics. We can also show that the relationship between the classes of L_p,∞- and L_p-metrics still holds for the obtained respective classes of their completions.

Weighted estimates for multilinear commutators of Marcinkiewicz integral

Let μ be the n-dimensional Marcinkiewicz integral and μb the multilinear commutator of μ. In this paper, the following weighted inequalities are proved for ω ∈ A∞ and 0 〈 p 〈 ∞,
｜｜μ（f）｜｜LP（ω）≤C｜Mf｜LP（ω） and ｜｜μb（f）｜｜LP（ω）≤C｜｜ML（log L）^1/r f｜｜LP（ω）.
The weighted weak L（log L）^1/r -type estimate is also established when p=1 and ω∈A1.     

The Minimality Properties of Chebyshev Polynomials and Their Lacunary Series

By considering four kinds of Chebyshev polynomials, an extended set of (real) results are given for Chebyshev polynomial minimality in suitably weighted Hölder norms on [–1,1], as well as (L ) minimax properties, and best L ₁ sufficiency requirements based on Chebyshev interpolation. Finally we establish best L _p , L and L ₁ approximation by partial sums of lacunary Chebyshev series of the form _i=0 a ⁱ _b ⁱ(x) where _n (x) is a Chebyshev polynomial and b is an odd integer 3. A complete set of proofs is provided.     

On a Strong Continuous Analogue of the Szpilrajn Theorem and its Strengthening by Dushnik and Miller

The Szpilrajn theorem states that every (partial) order has a total (linear) refinement or extension by a total (linear) order. Its strengthening by Dushnik and Miller states, moreover, that every (partial) order is the intersection of its total (linear) refinements or extensions. In any theory that combines the concepts of topology and order, however, one is interested in (weakly) continuous orders. Therefore, in this paper the question will be answered, if the Szpilrajn theorem and its strengthening by Dushnik and Miller respectively can be generalized in such a way that they also include the case that (weakly) continuous orders are considered. Since arbitrary preorders are not considered in this paper we speak of possible strong continuous analogues of the Szpilrajn theorem and its strengthening by Dushnik and Miller. The main results of this paper show that the Dushnik–Miller theorem cannot be generalized to the (weakly) continuous case while the Szpilrajn theorem at least in very particular situations allows generalizations to the case that (weakly) continuous orders are considered. Finally, also a strong semicontinuous analogue of the Szpilrajn theorem and its strengthening by Dushnik and Miller will be discussed.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> discrepancy of generalized two-dimensional Hammersley point sets

We determine the L _p discrepancy of the two-dimensional Hammersley point set in base b. These formulas show that the L _p discrepancy of the Hammersley point set is not of best possible order with respect to the general (best possible) lower bound on L _p discrepancies due to Roth and Schmidt. To overcome this disadvantage we introduce permutations in the construction of the Hammersley point set and show that there always exist permutations such that the L _p discrepancy of the generalized Hammersley point set is of best possible order. For the L ₂ discrepancy such permutations are given explicitly.

Some Localization Properties of the Lp Continuous Wavelet Transform

We shall prove some simultaneous localization or concentration inequalities for the continuous wavelet transform. We will also show that simultaneous localization in the scale-time(space) is impossible, in the sense that the scale sections of the support of wavelet transform of a nonnull L^p-function can not have finite Lebesgue measure. Finally, some properties of the support of continuous wavelet transform of band-limited functions are studied.

Minimum L1-Distance Projection onto the Boundary of a Convex Set: Simple Characterization

We show that the minimum distance projection in the L ₁-norm from an interior point onto the boundary of a convex set is achieved by a single, unidimensional projection. Application of this characterization when the convex set is a polyhedron leads to either an elementary minmax problem or a set of easily solved linear programs, depending upon whether the polyhedron is given as the intersection of a set of half spaces or as the convex hull of a set of extreme points. The outcome is an easier and more straightforward derivation of the special case results given in a recent paper by Briec (Ref. 1).

Infinite Divisibility for Stochastic Processes and Time Change

General results concerning infinite divisibility, selfdecomposability, and the class L _m property as properties of stochastic processes are presented. A new concept called temporal selfdecomposability of stochastic processes is introduced. Lévy processes, additive processes, selfsimilar processes, and stationary processes of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck type are studied in relation to these concepts. Further, time change of stochastic processes is studied, where chronometers (stochastic processes that serve to change time) and base processes (processes to be time-changed) are independent but do not, in general, have independent increments. Conditions for inheritance of infinite divisibility and selfdecomposability under time change are given.     

Feynman-Kac Formula for Left Continuous Additive Functionals and Extended Kato Class Measures

The perturbation of the generator of a Borel right process by a signed measure is investigated, using probabilistic and analytic potential theoretical methods. We establish a Feynman-Kac formula associated with measures charging no polar set and belonging to an extended Kato class. A main tool of this approach is the validity of a Khas’minskii Lemma for Stieltjes exponentials of positive left continuous additive functionals.
