Carleson measures, multipliers and integration operators for spaces of Dirichlet type

For 0<p<∞ and α>−1, we let denote the space of those functions f which are analytic in the unit disc and satisfy . In this paper we characterize the positive Borel measures μ in D such that , 0<p<q<∞. We also characterize the pointwise multipliers from to (0<p<q<∞) if p−2<α<p. In particular, we prove that if the only pointwise multiplier from to (0<p<q<∞) is the trivial one. This is not longer true for and we give a number of explicit examples of functions which are multipliers from to for this range of values.     

Reflection about k-jets and holomorphic extension of CR mappings

Let be a CR mapping between real analytic generic submanifolds M, M₁ of and , respectively. According to Webster's theory (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 86 (1982) 236-240) and its further developments, f has holomorphic extension to a full neighborhood of M in when the following requirements are fulfilled: f extends to a wedge W continuous up to M; f is of class C^k; (where denotes the complex tangent bundle); M₁ is “k-nondegenerate.” We deal here with the case where is strictly smaller than but is still real analytic in suitable sense. We show that a suitably refined condition of k-nondegeneracy still entails holomorphic extension of f.     

A description of continued fraction expansions of quadratic surds represented by polynomials

The principal thrust of this investigation is to provide families of quadratic polynomials , where e_k²−f_k²C=n (for any given nonzero integer n) satisfying the property that for any , the period length of the simple continued fraction expansion of is constant for fixed k and lim_k→∞?_k=∞. This generalizes, and completes, numerous results in the literature, where the primary focus was upon |n|=1, including the work of this author, and coauthors, in Mollin (Far East J. Math. Sci. Special Vol. 1998, Part III, 257-293; Serdica Math. J. 27 (2001) 317) Mollin and Cheng (Math. Rep. Acad. Sci. Canada 24 (2002) 102; Internat Math J 2 (2002) 951) and Mollin et al. (JP J. Algebra Number Theory Appl. 2 (2002) 47).     

Positivity properties in noncommutative convolution algebras with applications in pseudo-differential calculus

We study , of all such that for every ?∈C^∞₀, where denotes the twisted convolution. We prove that certain boundedness for are completely determined of the behaviour for a at origin, for example that , and that if a(0)<∞, then a∈L²∩L^∞. We use the results in order to determine wether positive pseudo-differential operators belong to certain Schatten-casses or not.     

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions with blow-up at the boundary for semilinear elliptic problems

By constructing the comparison functions and the perturbed method, it is showed that any solution u∈C²(Ω) to the semilinear elliptic problems Δu=k(x)g(u), x∈Ω, u_|∂Ω=+∞ satisfies , where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in RN; , −2<σ, c₀>0, ; g∈C¹[0,∞), g?0 and is increasing on (0,∞), there exists ρ>0 such that , ∀ξ>0, , .     

Some extremal bounds for subclasses of univalent functions

In this paper we obtain the sharp lower bound for , for functions f that are k-uniformly convex in the unit disk U. Next we consider the problem of finding the minimum of for functions f that are k-uniformly convex in the disk of radius r. Corresponding results for the class of starlike functions related to the class of k-uniformly convex functions are presented.     

The transitivity of induced maps

For a metric continuum X, we consider the hyperspaces X² and C(X) of the closed and nonempty subsets of X and of subcontinua of X, respectively, both with the Hausdorff metric. For a given map we investigate the transitivity of the induced maps and . Among other results, we show that if X is a dendrite or a continuum of type λ and is a map, then C(f) is not transitive. However, if X is the Hilbert cube, then there exists a transitive map such that f² and C(f) are transitive.     

Positive integral operators in unbounded domains

We study positive integral operators in with continuous kernel k(x,y). We show that if the operator is compact and Hilbert-Schmidt. If in addition k(x,x)→0 as |x|→∞, k is represented by an absolutely and uniformly convergent bilinear series of uniformly continuous eigenfunctions and is trace class. Replacing the first assumption by the stronger then and the bilinear series converges also in L¹. Sharp norm bounds are obtained and Mercer's theorem is derived as a special case.     

On analytic functions related with generalized Robertson functions

Analytic functions f are called Robertson functions for which zf^′ is α-spiral-like. This concept is generalized by several authors and a class real, of analytic functions is introduced and studied. It is noted that the functions in are of bounded boundary rotation and consists of Robertson functions.In this paper, we use the class to define a new class of analytic functions which unifies a number of classes previously studied such as the class of close-to-convex functions of higher order. Some interesting properties of this class, including coefficient problems, inclusion results and a sufficient condition for univalency are studied.     

Holomorphy of spectral multipliers of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

Let γ be the Gauss measure on and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. For every p in [1,∞)?{2}, set , and consider the sector . The main results of this paper are the following. If p is in (1,∞)?{2}, and , i.e., if M is an Lp(γ)uniform spectral multiplier of in our terminology, and M is continuous on , then M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the sector . Furthermore, if p=1 a spectral multiplier M, continuous on , satisfies the condition if and only if M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the right half-plane, and its boundary value M(i·) on the imaginary axis is the Euclidean Fourier transform of a finite Borel measure on the real line. We prove similar results for uniform spectral multipliers of second order elliptic differential operators in divergence form on belonging to a wide class, which contains . From these results we deduce that operators in this class do not admit an H^∞ functional calculus in sectors smaller than .

A Besov class functional calculus for bounded holomorphic semigroups

It is well-known that -sectorial operators generally do not admit a bounded H^∞ calculus over the right half-plane. In contrast to this, we prove that the H^∞ calculus is bounded over any class of functions whose Fourier spectrum is contained in some interval [ε,σ] with 0<ε<σ<∞. The constant bounding this calculus grows as as and this growth is sharp over all Banach space operators of the class under consideration. It follows from these estimates that -sectorial operators admit a bounded calculus over the Besov algebra of the right half-plane. We also discuss the link between -sectorial operators and bounded Tadmor-Ritt operators.     

Global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions for nonlinear parabolic equations on unbounded domains

We study the existence and the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions for the parabolic equation on D×(0,∞), where is a some unbounded domain in and V belongs to a new parabolic class J^∞ of singular potentials generalizing the well-known parabolic Kato class at infinity P^∞ introduced recently by Zhang. We also show that the choice of this class is essentially optimal.
