Bi-Parametric Potentials, Relevant Function Spaces and Wavelet-Like Transforms

We introduce new potential type operators J^a_b = (E+(-D)^b/2)^-a/bJ^{\alpha}_{\beta} = (E+(-\Delta)^{\beta/2})^{-\alpha/\beta}, (α > 0, β > 0), and bi-parametric scale of function spaces H^a_{b, p}(\mathbbRⁿ)H^{\alpha}_{\beta , p}({\mathbb{R}}^n) associated with J^α_β. These potentials generalize the classical Bessel potentials (for β = 2), and Flett potentials (for β = 1). A characterization of the spaces H^a_{b, p}(\mathbbRⁿ)H^{\alpha}_{\beta, p}({\mathbb{R}}^n) is given with the aid of a special wavelet–like transform associated with a β-semigroup, which generalizes the well-known Gauss-Weierstrass semigroup (for β = 2) and the Poisson one (for β = 1).     

The Jacobi-Dunkl transform on ℝ and the convolution product on new spaces of distributions

In this work, we consider the Jacobi-Dunkl operator Λ _α,β , a 3 b 3 \frac-12\alpha\geq\beta\geq\frac{-1}{2} , a 1 \frac-12\alpha\neq\frac{-1}{2} , on ℝ. The eigenfunction Y_l^a,b\Psi_{\lambda}^{\alpha,\beta} of this operator permits to define the Jacobi-Dunkl transform. The main idea in this paper is to introduce and study the Jacobi-Dunkl transform and the Jacobi-Dunkl convolution product on new spaces of distributions     

Minimal rotational hypersurfaces in Minkowski (<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>)-space

In Finsler geometry, minimal surfaces with respect to the Busemann-Hausdorff measure and the Holmes-Thompson measure are called BH-minimal and HT-minimal surfaces, respectively. In this paper, we give the explicit expressions of BH-minimal and HT-minimal rotational hypersurfaces generated by plane curves rotating around the axis in the direction of [(b)\tilde]^\sharp{\tilde{\beta}^{\sharp}} in Minkowski (α, β)-space (\mathbbVⁿ⁺¹,[(F_b)\tilde]){(\mathbb{V}^{n+1},\tilde{F_b})} , where \mathbbVⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{V}^{n+1}} is an (n+1)-dimensional real vector space, [(F_b)\tilde]=[(a)\tilde]f([(b)\tilde]/[(a)\tilde]), [(a)\tilde]{\tilde{F_b}=\tilde{\alpha}\phi(\tilde{\beta}/\tilde{\alpha}), \tilde{\alpha}} is the Euclidean metric, [(b)\tilde]{\tilde{\beta}} is a one form of constant length b:=||[(b)\tilde]||_[(a)\tilde], [(b)\tilde]^\sharp{b:=\|\tilde{\beta}\|_{\tilde{\alpha}}, \tilde{\beta}^{\sharp}} is the dual vector of [(b)\tilde]{\tilde{\beta}} with respect to [(a)\tilde]{\tilde{\alpha}} . As an application, we first give the explicit expressions of the forward complete BH-minimal rotational surfaces generated around the axis in the direction of [(b)\tilde]^\sharp{\tilde{\beta}^{\sharp}} in Minkowski Randers 3-space (\mathbbV³,[(a)\tilde]+[(b)\tilde]){(\mathbb{V}^{3},\tilde{\alpha}+\tilde{\beta})} .     

On a Sharper Lower Bound for a Percentile of a Student’s <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis> Distribution with an Application

In this communication, we first compare z _α and t _ν,α , the upper 100α% points of a standard normal and a Student’s t _ν distributions respectively. We begin with a proof of a well-known result, namely, for every fixed 0 < a < \frac120<\alpha <\frac{1}{2} and the degree of freedom ν, one has t _ν,α  > z _α . Next, Theorem 3.1 provides a new and explicit expression b _ν ( > 1) such that for every fixed 0 < a < \frac120<\alpha < \frac{1}{2} and ν, we can conclude t _ν,α  > b _ν z _α . This is clearly a significant improvement over the result that is customarily quoted in nearly every textbook and elsewhere. A proof of Theorem 3.1 is surprisingly simple and pretty. We also extend Theorem 3.1 in the case of a non-central Student’s t distribution (Section 3.3). In the context of Stein’s (Ann Math Stat 16:243–258, 1945; Econometrica 17:77–78, 1949) 100(1 − α)% fixed-width confidence intervals for the mean of a normal distribution having an unknown variance, we have examined the oversampling rate on an average for a variety of choices of m, the pilot sample size. We ran simulations to investigate this issue. We have found that the oversampling rates are approximated well by t_n,a/2²z_a/2^-2t_{\nu ,\alpha /2}^{2}z_{\alpha /2}^{-2} for small and moderate values of m( ≤ 50) all across Table 2 where ν = m − 1. However, when m is chosen large (≥ 100), we find from Table 3 that the oversampling rates are not approximated by t_n,a/2²z_a/2^-2t_{\nu ,\alpha /2}^{2}z_{\alpha /2}^{-2} very well anymore in some cases, and in those cases the oversampling rates either exceed the new lower bound of t_n,a/2²z_a/2^-2,t_{\nu ,\alpha /2}^{2}z_{\alpha /2}^{-2}, namely b_n²,b_{\nu }^{2}, or comes incredibly close to b_n²b_{\nu }^{2} where ν = m − 1. That is, the new lower bound for a percentile of a Student’s t distribution may play an important role in order to come up with diagnostics in our understanding of simulated output under Stein’s fixed-width confidence interval method.     

Essential norms of some singular integral operators

Let a\alpha and b\beta be bounded measurable functions on the unit circle T. The singular integral operator S_a, bS_{\alpha ,\,\beta } is defined by S_a, b f = aPf + bQf(f ? L² (T))S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } f = \alpha Pf + \beta Qf(f \in L^2 (T)) where P is an analytic projection and Q is a co-analytic projection. In the previous paper, the norm of S_a, bS_{\alpha ,\,\beta } was calculated in general, using a,b\alpha ,\beta and a[`(b)] + H<sup>￥</sup>\alpha \bar {\beta } + H^\infty where H<sup>￥</sup>H^\infty is a Hardy space in L<sup>￥</sup> (T).L^\infty (T). In this paper, the essential norm ||S<sub>a, b</sub> ||<sub>e</sub>\Vert S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } \Vert _e of S<sub>a, b</sub>S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } is calculated in general, using a[`(b)] + H^￥ + C\alpha \bar {\beta } + H^\infty + C where C is a set of all continuous functions on T. Hence if a[`(b)]\alpha \bar {\beta } is in H^￥ + CH^\infty + C then ||S_a, b ||_e = max(||a||_￥ , ||b||_￥ ).\Vert S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } \Vert _e = \max (\Vert \alpha \Vert _\infty , \Vert \beta \Vert _\infty ). This gives a known result when a, b\alpha , \beta are in C.     

A convexity theorem for multiplicative functions

We generalize a well known convexity property of the multiplicative potential function. We prove that, given any convex function g : \mathbbR^m ? [0, ￥]{g : \mathbb{R}^m \rightarrow [{0}, {\infty}]}, the function ${({\rm \bf x},{\rm \bf y})\mapsto g({\rm \bf x})^{1+\alpha}{\bf y}^{-{\bf \beta}}, {\bf y}>{\bf 0}}${({\rm \bf x},{\rm \bf y})\mapsto g({\rm \bf x})^{1+\alpha}{\bf y}^{-{\bf \beta}}, {\bf y}>{\bf 0}}, is convex if β ≥ 0 and α ≥ β ₁ + ··· + β _n . We also provide further generalization to functions of the form (x,y₁, . . . , y_n)? g(x)^1+af₁(y₁)^-b₁ ···f_n(y_n)^-b_n{({\rm \bf x},{\rm \bf y}_1, . . . , {y_n})\mapsto g({\rm \bf x})^{1+\alpha}f_1({\rm \bf y}_1)^{-\beta_1} \cdot \cdot \cdot f_n({\rm \bf y}_n)^{-\beta_n} } with the f _k concave, positively homogeneous and nonnegative on their domains.

The Lambert W-functions and some of their integrals: a case study of high-precision computation

The real-valued Lambert W-functions considered here are w ₀(y) and w _− 1(y), solutions of we ^w  = y, − 1/e < y < 0, with values respectively in ( − 1,0) and ( − ∞ , − 1). A study is made of the numerical evaluation to high precision of these functions and of the integrals ò₁^￥ [-w₀(-xe^-x)]^a x^-bx\int_1^\infty [-w_0(-xe^{-x})]^\alpha x^{-\beta}\d x, α > 0, β ∈ ℝ, and ò₀¹ [-w_-1(-x e^-x)]^a x^-bx\int_0^1 [-w_{-1}(-x e^{-x})]^\alpha x^{-\beta}\d x, α > − 1, β < 1. For the latter we use known integral representations and their evaluation by nonstandard Gaussian quadrature, if α ≠ β, and explicit formulae involving the trigamma function, if α = β.     

New Besov-type spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces including Q spaces

Let ${s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}}Let s, t ? \mathbbR{s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}} and q ? (0,￥]{q\in(0,\infty]} . We introduce Besov-type spaces [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} for p ? (0, ￥]{p\in(0,\,\infty]} and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) for p ? (0, ￥){{{{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}\,{\rm for}\, p\in(0,\,\infty)} , which unify and generalize the Besov spaces, Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Q spaces. We then establish the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of these new spaces in the sense of Frazier and Jawerth. Using the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\, {\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} , we obtain their embedding and lifting properties; moreover, for appropriate τ, we also establish the smooth atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\,{\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} . For s ? \mathbbR{s\in\mathbb{R}} , p ? (1, ￥), q ? [1, ￥){p\in(1,\,\infty), q\in[1,\,\infty)} and t ? [0, \frac1(max{p, q})￠]{\tau\in[0,\,\frac{1}{(\max\{p,\,q\})'}]} , via the Hausdorff capacity, we introduce certain Hardy–Hausdorff spaces B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} and prove that the dual space of B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} is just [(B)\dot]^-s, t_p￠, q￠(\mathbbRⁿ){\dot{B}^{-s,\,\tau}_{p',\,q'}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} , where t′ denotes the conjugate index of t ? (1,￥){t\in (1,\infty)} .     

Singularity Spectrum of Generic ��-H?lder Regular Functions After Time Subordination

A question of Yves Meyer motivated the research concerning “time” subordinations of real functions. Denote by B₁^a{\mathcal {B}}_{1}^{\alpha} the metric space of functions with Lipschitz constant 1 defined on [0,1], equipped with the complete metric defined via the supremum norm. Given a function g ? B₁^ag\in {\mathcal {B}}_{1}^{\alpha} one obtains a time subordination of g simply by considering the composite function Z=g○f, where f∈ℳ:={f:f(0)=0, f(1)=1 and f is a continuous nondecreasing function on [0,1]}. The metric space E^a=M×B₁^a\mathcal {E}^{\alpha}=\mathcal {M}\times {\mathcal {B}}_{1}^{\alpha} equipped with the product supremum metric is a complete metric space. In this paper for all α∈[0,1) multifractal properties of g○f are investigated for a generic (typical) element (f,g)∈ℰ ^α . In particular we determine the generic H?lder singularity spectrum of g○f.

We construct a fundamental solution of the equation ${\partial_t - \Delta^{\alpha/2} - b(\cdot, \cdot) \cdot\nabla_{x} = 0}We construct a fundamental solution of the equation ?_t - D^a/2 - b(·, ·) ·?_x = 0{\partial_t - \Delta^{\alpha/2} - b(\cdot, \cdot) \cdot\nabla_{x} = 0} for a ? (1, 2){\alpha \in (1, 2)} and b satisfying a certain integral space-time condition. We also show it has α-stable upper and lower bounds.

On branch points of three-dimensional mappings with unbounded characteristic of quasiconformality

For open discrete mappings f:D\{ b } ? \mathbbR³ f:D\backslash \left\{ b \right\} \to {\mathbb{R}^3} of a domain D ì \mathbbR³ D \subset {\mathbb{R}^3} satisfying relatively general geometric conditions in D \ {b} and having an essential singularity at a point b ? \mathbbR³ b \in {\mathbb{R}^3} , we prove the following statement: Let a point y ₀ belong to [`(\mathbbR³)] \f( D\{ b } ) \overline {{\mathbb{R}^3}} \backslash f\left( {D\backslash \left\{ b \right\}} \right) and let the inner dilatation K _I (x, f) and outer dilatation K _O (x, f) of the mapping f at the point x satisfy certain conditions. Let B _f denote the set of branch points of the mapping f. Then, for an arbitrary neighborhood V of the point y ₀, the set V ∩ f(B _f ) cannot be contained in a set A such that g(A) = I, where I = { t ? \mathbbR:| t | < 1 } I = \left\{ {t \in \mathbb{R}:\left| t \right| < 1} \right\} and g:U ? \mathbbRⁿ g:U \to {\mathbb{R}^n} is a quasiconformal mapping of a domain U ì \mathbbRⁿ U \subset {\mathbb{R}^n} such that A ⊂ U.     

Operator-Lipschitz functions in Schatten–von Neumann classes

This paper resolves a number of problems in the perturbation theory of linear operators, linked with the 45-year-old conjecure of M. G. Kreĭn. In particular, we prove that every Lipschitz function is operator-Lipschitz in the Schatten–von Neumann ideals S ^α , 1 < α < ∞. Alternatively, for every 1 < α < ∞, there is a constant c _α > 0 such that

Analytic Continuation of Dirichlet Series with Almost Periodic Coefficients

We consider Dirichlet series z_g,a(s)=?_n=1^￥ g(na) e^{-l_n s}{\zeta_{g,\alpha}(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty g(n\alpha) e^{-\lambda_n s}} for fixed irrational α and periodic functions g. We demonstrate that for Diophantine α and smooth g, the line Re(s) = 0 is a natural boundary in the Taylor series case λ _n  = n, so that the unit circle is the maximal domain of holomorphy for the almost periodic Taylor series ?_n=1^￥ g(na) zⁿ{\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} g(n\alpha) z^n}. We prove that a Dirichlet series z_g,a(s) = ?_n=1^￥ g(n a)/n^s{\zeta_{g,\alpha}(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} g(n \alpha)/n^s} has an abscissa of convergence σ ₀ = 0 if g is odd and real analytic and α is Diophantine. We show that if g is odd and has bounded variation and α is of bounded Diophantine type r, the abscissa of convergence σ ₀ satisfies σ ₀ ≤ 1 − 1/r. Using a polylogarithm expansion, we prove that if g is odd and real analytic and α is Diophantine, then the Dirichlet series ζ _g,α (s) has an analytic continuation to the entire complex plane.     

Commutators of BMO functions and degenerate Schr?dinger operators with certain nonnegative potentials

Let Lf(x)=-\frac1w?_i,j ?_i(a_i,j(·)?_jf)(x)+V(x)f(x){\mathcal{L}f(x)=-\frac{1}{\omega}\sum_{i,j} \partial_i(a_{i,j}(\cdot)\partial_jf)(x)+V(x)f(x)} with the non-negative potential V belonging to reverse H?lder class with respect to the measure ω(x)dx, where ω(x) satisfies the A ₂ condition of Muckenhoupt and a _i,j (x) is a real symmetric matrix satisfying l^-1w(x)|x|² ￡ ?ⁿ_i,j=1a_i,j(x)x_ix_j ￡ lw(x)|x|².{\lambda^{-1}\omega(x)|\xi|^2\le \sum^n_{i,j=1}a_{i,j}(x)\xi_i\xi_j\le\lambda\omega(x)|\xi|^2. } We obtain some estimates for V^aL^-a{V^{\alpha}\mathcal{L}^{-\alpha}} on the weighted L ^p spaces and we study the weighted L ^p boundedness of the commutator [b, V^a L^-a]{[b, V^{\alpha} \mathcal{L}^{-\alpha}]} when b ? BMO_w{b\in BMO_\omega} and 0 < α ≤ 1.

On the subordinate killed B.M in bounded domains and existence results for nonlinear fractional Dirichlet problems

We take up in this paper the existence of positive continuous solutions for some nonlinear boundary value problems with fractional differential equation based on the fractional Laplacian (-D_|D)^\fraca2{(-\Delta _{|D})^{\frac{\alpha }{2}}} associated to the subordinate killed Brownian motion process Z_a^D{Z_{\alpha }^{D}} in a bounded C ^1,1 domain D. Our arguments are based on potential theory tools on Z_a^D{Z_{\alpha }^{D}} and properties of an appropriate Kato class of functions K _α (D).
