Sharp nonlogarithmic Kneser theorems for fourth-order elliptic equations

Let D(?) be the Doob's class containing all functions f(z) analytic in the unit disk Δ such that f(0) = 0 and lim $\text{inf}\text{¦f(z) ¦ ? 1}$ on an arc A of ?Δ with length $\text{¦A ¦? ?}$. It is first proved that if f?D(?) then the spherical norm ∥ f ∥ = sup_z?Δ$\text{(}\text{1 ? ¦z¦}{}^2\text{)¦f′(z)¦}\text{(1 + ¦f(z)¦}{}^2\text{) ? C}{}_1\text{sin}\text{(π ? (}\text{?}\text{2}\text{))/ (π ? (}\text{g9}\text{2}\text{))}$, where C₁ = lim_n→∞$\text{∥ z}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{∥}\text{and}\text{1}\text{2}\text{< C}{}_1\text{<}\text{2}\text{e}$. Next, U represents the Seidel's class containing all non-constant functions f(z) bounded analytic in Δ such that $\text{¦tf(e}{}^{\mathrm{i0}}\text{)¦ = 1}$ almost everywhere. It is proved that inf_f?U∥f∥ = 0, and if f has either no singularities or only isolated singularities on ?Δ, then ∥f∥ ? C₁. Finally, it is proved that if f is a function normal in Δ, namely, the norm ∥f∥< ∞, then we have the sharp estimate ∥f^p∥ ? p∥f∥, for any positive integer p.     

Szegö limit theorems in quantum mechanics

We prove a Szegö-type theorem for some Schrödinger operators of the form $\text{H =}\text{?1}\text{2Δ}\text{+ V}$ with V smooth, positive and growing like $\text{V}{}_0\text{¦x¦}{}^{\mathrm{k}}\text{, k > 0}$. Namely, let π_λ be the orthogonal projection of L² onto the space of the eigenfunctions of H with eigenvalue ?λ; let A be a 0th order self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator relative to Beals-Fefferman weights $\text{?(x, ξ) = 1, Φ(x, ξ) = (1 + ¦ξ¦}{}^2\text{+ V(x))}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and with total symbol a(x, ξ); and let f∈C($\text{R}$). Then

$\text{lim}\text{λ→∞}\text{1}\text{rank}\text{π}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{tr}\text{f(π}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{Aπ}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{)=}\text{lim}\text{λ→∞}\text{1}\text{vol}\text{(H(x, ξ)?λ)}\text{∫}\text{H?λ}\text{f(a(x, ξ))dxdξ}$

(assuming one limit exists).     

Compositions of singular integral operators

The composition of two Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators is given explicitly in terms of the kernels of the operators. For φ?L¹(Rⁿ) and ε = 0 or 1 and ∝ φ = 0 if ε = 0, let Ker(φ) be the unique function on R^{n + 1} homogeneous of degree ?n ? 1 of parity ε that equals φ on the hypersurface x₀ = 1. Let Sing(φ, ε) denote the singular integral operator , which exists under suitable growth conditions on ? and φ. Then Sing(φ, ε₁) Sing(ψ, ε₂)f = ?2π²(∝ φ)(∝ ψ)f + Sing(A, ε₁, + ε₂)f, where

(with notation $\text{¦t¦}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{= ¦t¦}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{and}\text{¦t¦}{}_1{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{= ¦t¦}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{sgn}\text{t}$). This result is used to show that the mapping ψ → A is a classical pseudo-differential operator of order zero if φ is smooth, with top-order symbol

$\text{ω}{}_0\text{(x,?)=?πiθ(?)∫θ(x?y)}\text{sgn}\text{y·?dy}\text{if}\text{?}{}_1\text{=1}$

,

$\text{=?2θ(?)∫θ(x?y)}\text{log}\text{|y·?|dy}\text{if}\text{?}{}_1\text{=0}$

where θ(ξ) is a cut-off function. These results are generalized to singular integrals with mixed homogeneity.     

The Hardy classes for functions in the class MV[α, k]

Suppose that f(z) = z + a₂z² + ··· + a_nz_n + ··· is regular in the unit disc $\text{D}\text{with}\text{[f(z) f′}\text{(z)}\text{z] ≠ 0}\text{in}\text{D}$, and further let α ? 0 and k ? 2. If $\text{∝}{}^{\mathrm{2\pi }}{}_{\mathrm{o}}\text{¦}\text{Re}\text{{(1 ? α)z[}\text{f′(z)}\text{f(z)}\text{] + α(1 + z[}\text{f″(z)}\text{f′(z)}\text{])}¦ dθ ? kπ}\text{for}\text{z ? D}$, then f(z) is said to belong to the class MV[α, k]. This class contains many of the special classes of regular and univalent functions. The authors determine the Hardy classes of which f(z), f′(z) and f″(z) belong and obtain growth estimates of a_n.     

Weak-1 generators for a class of subalgebras of l1

Let α ? 0 and let $\text{D(}\text{α}\text{) = {f(z) = ∑}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{z}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{¦ ∑}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\text{(n + 1)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>\alpha </mtext>}}\text{¦ a}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{¦ < ∞}}$. Then D(α) is a subalgebra of l¹. We discuss the weak-1 generators of D(α). We use some of our techniques to prove that if ? is a weak-1 generator of H^∞ and ∥ ? ∥_∞ ? 1, then the composition operator C_? on the Dirichlet space has dense range.     

A decomposition theorem for an analytic function

Let f(z), an analytic function with radius of convergence R (0 < R < ∞) be represented by the gap series ∑_{k = 0}^∞c_kz^λ_k. Set and define the growth constants ?, λ, T, t by

$\text{?}\text{λ}\text{=}\text{lim sup}\text{r→R}\text{inf}\text{{}\text{log}\text{[Rr /(R?r)]}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{log}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{log}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{M(r)}}$

, and if 0 < ? < ∞,

$\text{T}\text{t}\text{=}\text{lim sup}\text{r→R}\text{inf}\text{{[Rr /(R?r)]}{}^{\mathrm{??}}\text{log}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{M(r)}}$

. Then, assuming 0 < t < T < ∞, we obtain a decomposition theorem for f(z).     

On the convergence of solutions of functional differential equations with infinite delay

Let $\text{C(β), S1(β),}\text{and}\text{K(β, λ)}$ be the classes of univalent functions defined in $\text{E = {z: ¦z¦< 1}}$, which are convex of order β, starlike of order β and close-to-convex of order β type λ. Let $\text{f(z) = (}\text{1}\text{α}\text{)z}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1?</mtext><mtext>1</mtext><mtext>\alpha </mtext>}}\text{∝}{}^{\mathrm{z}}{}_0\text{z}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>x?2</mtext>}}\text{F(z)dz, 0 ? α < 1}$. We discuss the properties of the function f when this function F belongs to the class K(β, λ) and its various subclasses.     

Sharp Sobolev type inequalities for higher fractional derivativesInégalités optimales de type Sobolev pour les dérivées fractionelles d'ordre supérieur

On $\text{R}{}^{\mathrm{n}}$, n?1 and n≠2, we prove the existence of a sharp constant for Sobolev inequalities with higher fractional derivatives. Let s be a positive real number. For n>2s and $\text{q=}\text{2n}\text{n?2s}$ any function $\text{f∈}\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{s}}\text{(}\text{R}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{)}$ satisfies

$\text{6f6}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{q}}\text{?S}{}_{\mathrm{n,s}}\text{(?Δ)}{}^{\mathrm{s/2}}\text{f}{}^2{}_2\text{,}$

where the operator (?Δ)^s in Fourier spaces is defined by $\text{(?Δ)}{}^{\mathrm{s}}\text{f}\text{(k):=(2π|k|)}{}^{\mathrm{2s}}\text{f}\text{(k)}$. To cite this article: A. Cotsiolis, N.C. Tavoularis, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 335 (2002) 801–804.     

Étude d'une équation de Monge-Ampère sur les variétés kählériennes compactes

On a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension m ? 2, let us consider the change of Kähler metric $\text{g′}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>\lambda </mtext><mtext>\backslash </mtext><mtext>?</mtext><mtext>gm</mtext>}}\text{= g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>\lambda </mtext><mtext>\backslash </mtext><mtext>?</mtext><mtext>gm</mtext>}}\text{+ ?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>\lambda </mtext><mtext>\backslash </mtext><mtext>?</mtext><mtext>gm</mtext>}}\text{φ}$. Let F?C^∞(V × R) be a function everywhere > 0 and v a real number ≠ 0. When $\text{0 < C}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{? F(x, t) ? C(¦t¦}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{+ 1)}$ for all (x, t) ?V × ] ?∞, t₀], where C and t₀ are constants and $\text{1 ? a <}\text{m}\text{(m ? 1)}$, one exhibits a function φ?C^∞ (V) such that $\text{¦g′∥g¦}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{= e}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>\nu </mtext><mtext>\backslash </mtext><mtext>?</mtext><mtext>gf</mtext>}}\text{F(x, φ ?}\text{}\text{?}\text{gf) (¦g¦}\text{and}\text{¦g′¦}$ the determinants of the metrics g and $\text{g′,}\text{}\text{?}\text{gf = (}\text{mes}\text{V)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{∝ φ dV)}$.     

Concrete model theory for a class of operators with unitary part

Let m and v_t, 0 ? t ? 2π be measures on T = [0, 2π] with m smooth. Consider the direct integral $\text{H}$ = ⊕L²(v^t) dm(t) and the operator $\text{(L?)(t, λ) = e}{}^{\mathrm{?i\lambda }}\text{?(t, λ) ? 2e}{}^{\mathrm{?i\lambda }}\text{∫}{}_{\mathrm{t}}{}^{\mathrm{2\pi }}\text{∫}{}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{?(s, x) e(s, t) dv}{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{(x) dm(s)}$ on $\text{H}$, where e(s, t) = exp ∫_s^t ∫_Tdv_λ(θ) dm(λ). Let μ_t be the measure defined by $\text{∫}{}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{?(x) dμ}{}_{\mathrm{t}}\text{(x) = ∫}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{t}}\text{∫}{}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{?(x) dv}{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{dm(s)}$ for all continuous ?, and let ?_t(z) = exp[?∫ (e^iθ + z)(e^iθ ? z)^?1dμ_t(gq)]. Call {v_t} regular iff for all $\text{t, ¦?}{}_{\mathrm{t}}\text{(e}{}^{\mathrm{i\theta }}\text{)¦ = ¦?}{}_{\mathrm{2\pi }}\text{(e}{}^{\mathrm{i\theta }}\text{)¦}$ for 1 a.e.     

Some partitions associated with a partially ordered set

For any partially ordered set P, let $\text{d}{}_{\mathrm{k}}\text{(P)(}\text{d}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{k}}\text{(P))}$ denote the cardinality of the largest subset of P obtained by taking the union of k antichains (chains). Then there exists a partition Δ = {Δ_l ? Δ₂ > … ? Δ_l} of | P | such that d_k(P) = Δ₁ + Δ₂ + … + Δ_k and $\text{d}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{k}}\text{(P) = Δ}{}_1{}^1\text{+ Δ}{}_2{}^1\text{+ … + Δ}{}_{\mathrm{k}}{}^1$ for each k, where $\text{Δ}{}^1$ denotes the partition conjugate to Δ. This result can be used to prove a general class of “Dilworth-type” theorems for subfamilies of P.     

The resolvent of a singularly perturbed elliptic operator

Let A and B be uniformly elliptic operators of orders 2m and 2n, respectively, m > n. We consider the Dirichlet problems for the equations (?^{2(m ? n)}A + B + λ²ⁿI)u_? = f and (B + λ²ⁿI)u = f in a bounded domain Ω in R^k with a smooth boundary ?Ω. The estimate is derived. This result extends the results of [7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18]by giving estimates up to the boundary, improving the rate of convergence in ?, using lower norms, and considering operators of higher order with variable coefficients. An application to a parabolic boundary value problem is given.     

Some asymptotic boundary behavior of solutions of non-linear parabolic initial-boundary value problems

For parabolic initial boundary value problems various results such as $\text{lim}{}_{\mathrm{t\; \downarrow \; 0}}\text{{}\text{(}\text{?u}\text{t6x}\text{)(0, t)}\text{(}\text{?u}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{?x}\text{)(0, t)}}\text{= 1}$, where u satisfies $\text{?u}\text{?t}\text{= a(u)(}\text{?}{}^2\text{u}\text{?x}{}^2\text{), 0 < x < 1, 0 < t ? T, u(x, 0) = 0, u(0, t) = |}{}_1\text{(t), 0 < t ? T, u(1, t) = |}{}_2\text{(t), 0 < t ?

T, u}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{(x, 0) = 0, u}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{(0, t) = |}{}_1\text{(t), 0 < t ? T, u}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{(1, t) = |}{}_2\text{(t), 0 < t ? T,}\text{and}\text{α = a(0)}$, are demonstrated via the maximum principle and potential theoretic estimates.     

Integral inequalities for generalized concave or convex functions

Let ψ be convex with respect to ?, B a convex body in Rⁿ and f a positive concave function on B. A well-known result by Berwald states that $\text{1}\text{¦B¦}\text{∝}{}_{\mathrm{B}}\text{ψ(f(x)) dx ? n ∝}{}_0{}^1\text{ψ(ξt)(1 ? t)}{}^{\mathrm{n\; ?\; 1)}}\text{dt}$ (1) if ξ is chosen such that $\text{1}\text{¦B¦}\text{∝}{}_{\mathrm{B}}\text{?(f(x)) dx = n ∝}{}_0{}^1\text{?(ξt)(1 ? t)}{}^{\mathrm{n\; ?\; 1)}}\text{dt}$.The main purpose in this paper is to characterize those functions f : B → R₊ such that (1) holds.     

Phase reconstruction from magnitude of band-limited multidimensional signals

In this paper, the problem of phase reconstruction from magnitude of multidimensional band-limited functions is considered. It is shown that any irreducible band-limited function f(z₁…,z_n), z_i ? $\text{C}$, i=1, …, n, is uniquely determined from the magnitude of f(x₁…,x_n): | f(x₁…,x_n)|, x_i ? $\text{R}$, i=1,…, n, except for (1) linear shifts: ^{i(α1z1+…+α_n2n+β}), β, α_i?$\text{R}$, i=1,…, n; and (2) conjugation: $\text{f}{}^1\text{(z}{}_1{}^1\text{,…,z}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^1\text{)}$.     

Some divided difference inequalities for n-convex functions

Using results from the theory of B-splines, various inequalities involving the nth order divided differences of a function f with convex nth derivative are proved; notably, $\text{f}{}^{\mathrm{(n)}}\text{(z)}\text{n! ? [x}{}_0\text{,…, x}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{]f}\text{?}\text{∑}{}_{\mathrm{i\; =\; 0}}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{(f}{}^{\mathrm{(n)}}\text{(x}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{)}\text{(n + 1)!)}$, where z is the center of mass $\text{(}\text{1}\text{(n + 1))}\text{∑}{}_{\mathrm{i\; =\; 0}}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{i}}$.     

Lp estimates for the wave equation

Let u(x, t) be the solution of u_tt ? Δ_xu = 0 with initial conditions $\text{u(x, 0) = g(x)}\text{and}\text{u}{}_{\mathrm{t}}\text{(x, 0) = ?;(x)}$. Consider the linear operator $\text{T: ?; → u(x, t)}$. (Here g = 0.) We prove for t fixed the following result. Theorem 1: T is bounded in L^p if and only if . Theorem 2: If the coefficients are variables in C and constant outside of some compact set we get: (a) If n = 2k the result holds for $\text{¦ p}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{? 2}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{¦ < (n ? 1)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$. (b) If n = 2k ? 1, the result is valid for $\text{¦ p}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{? 2}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{¦ ? (n ? 1)}$. This result are sharp in the sense that for p such that $\text{¦ p}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{? 2}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{¦ > (n ? 1)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ we prove the existence of $\text{?; ? L}{}^{\mathrm{P}}$ in such a way that $\text{T?; ? L}{}^{\mathrm{P}}$. Several applications are given, one of them is to the study of the Klein-Gordon equation, the other to the completion of the study of the family of multipliers $\text{m(ξ) = ψ(ξ) e}{}^{\mathrm{i¦\xi ¦}}\text{¦ ξ ¦}{}^{\mathrm{?b}}$ and finally we get that the convolution against the kernel $\text{K(x) = ?(x)(1 ? ¦ x ¦)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ is bounded in H¹.     

Absolute continuity of positive spectrum for Schrödinger operators with long-range potentials

Absolute continuity in (0, ∞) for Schrödinger operators ? Δ + V(x), with long range potential V = V₁ + V₂ such that $\text{?V}{}_1\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{r}}\text{, V}{}_2\text{= 0(r}{}^{\mathrm{?1??}}\text{)}$, ? > 0, as $\text{¦ x ¦ → ∞}$, is shown by proving estimates on resolvents near the real axis. Completeness of the modified wave operators for a superposition of Coulomb potentials also follows. Singular local behavior of V is allowed.
