Fourier Spectrum Characterizations of $$H^{p}$$ Spaces on Tubes Over Cones for $$1\le p \le \infty $$1≤p≤∞

We give Fourier spectrum characterizations of functions in the Hardy \(H^p\) spaces on tubes for \(1\le p \le \infty .\) For \(F\in L^p(\mathbb {R}^n), \) we show that F is the non-tangential boundary limit of a function in a Hardy space, \(H^{p}(T_\Gamma ),\) where \(\Gamma \) is an open cone of \(\mathbb {R}^n\) and \(T_\Gamma \) is the related tube in \(\mathbb {C}^n,\) if and only if the classical or the distributional Fourier transform of F is supported in \(\Gamma ^*,\) where \(\Gamma ^*\) is the dual cone of \(\Gamma .\) This generalizes the results of Stein and Weiss for \(p=2\) in the same context, as well as those of Qian et al. in one complex variable for \(1\le p\le \infty .\) Furthermore, we extend the Poisson and Cauchy integral representation formulas to the \(H^p\) spaces on tubes for \(p\in [1, \infty ]\) and \(p\in [1,\infty ),\) with, respectively, the two types of representations.     

A Sharp Weak-Type $$(\infty ,\infty )$$ Inequality for the Hilbert Transform

The paper is devoted to sharp weak type \((\infty ,\infty )\) estimates for \({\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {T}}\) and \({\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {R}}\), the Hilbert transforms on the circle and real line, respectively. Specifically, it is proved that

$$\begin{aligned} \left\| {\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {T}}f\right\| _{W({\mathbb {T}})}\le \Vert f\Vert _{L^\infty ({\mathbb {T}})} \end{aligned}$$

and

$$\begin{aligned} \left\| {\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {R}}f\right\| _{W({\mathbb {R}})}\le \Vert f\Vert _{L^\infty ({\mathbb {R}})}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(W({\mathbb {T}})\) and \(W({\mathbb {R}})\) stand for the weak-\(L^\infty \) spaces introduced by Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley. In both estimates, the constant \(1\) on the right is shown to be the best possible.

     

Regularity for Inhomogeneous Dirichlet Problems of Some Schrödinger Equations on Domains

Let \(n\ge 3, \Omega \) be a bounded, simply connected and semiconvex domain in \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) and \(L_{\Omega }:=-\Delta +V\) a Schrödinger operator on \(L^2 (\Omega )\) with the Dirichlet boundary condition, where \(\Delta \) denotes the Laplace operator and the potential \(0\le V\) belongs to the reverse Hölder class \(RH_{q_0}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) for some \(q_0\in (\max \{n/2,2\},\infty ]\). Assume that the growth function \(\varphi :\,{\mathbb {R}}^n\times [0,\infty ) \rightarrow [0,\infty )\) satisfies that \(\varphi (x,\cdot )\) is an Orlicz function and \(\varphi (\cdot ,t)\in {\mathbb {A}}_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights). Let \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) be the Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space whose elements are restrictions of elements of the Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space, associated with \(L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n}:=-\Delta +V\) on \({\mathbb {R}}^n\), to \(\Omega \). In this article, the authors show that the operators \(VL^{-1}_\Omega \) and \(\nabla ^2L^{-1}_\Omega \) are bounded from \(L^1(\Omega )\) to weak-\(L^1(\Omega )\), from \(L^p(\Omega )\) to itself, with \(p\in (1,2]\), and also from \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) to the Musielak–Orlicz space \(L^\varphi (\Omega )\) or to \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) itself. As applications, the boundedness of \(\nabla ^2{\mathbb {G}}_D\) on \(L^p(\Omega )\), with \(p\in (1,2]\), and from \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) to \(L^\varphi (\Omega )\) or to \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) itself is obtained, where \({\mathbb {G}}_D\) denotes the Dirichlet Green operator associated with \(L_\Omega \). All these results are new even for the Hardy space \(H^1_{L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\), which is just \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) with \(\varphi (x,t):=t\) for all \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^n\) and \(t\in [0,\infty )\).     

VMO Spaces Associated with Operators with Gaussian Upper Bounds on Product Domains

In this paper, we extend the well-known result “the predual of Hardy space \(H^1\) is VMO” to the product setting, associated with differential operators. Let \(L_i\), \(i = 1, 2\), be the infinitesimal generators of the analytic semigroups \(\{e^{-tL_i}\}\) on \(L^2({\mathbb {R}})\). Assume that the kernels of the semigroups \(\{e^{-tL_i}\}\) satisfy the Gaussian upper bounds. We introduce the VMO spaces VMO\(_{L_1, L_2}(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R})\) associated with operators \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) on the product domain \(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}\), then show that the dual space of VMO\(_{L_1, L_2}(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R})\) is the Hardy space \(H^1_{L_1^*, L_2^*}(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R})\) associated with the adjoint operators \(L^*_1\) and \(L^*_2\).     

On limit theorems for Banach-space-valued linear processes

Let \( {\left( {{\epsilon_i}} \right)_{i \in \mathbb{Z}}} \) be i.i.d. random elements in a separable Banach space \( \mathbb{E} \), and let \( \mathop {\left( {{a_i}} \right)}\nolimits_{i \in \mathbb{Z}} \) be continuous linear operators from \( \mathbb{E} \) to a Banach space \( \mathbb{F} \) such that \( \sum\nolimits_{i \in \mathbb{Z}} {\left\| {{a_i}} \right\|} \) is finite. We prove that the linear process \( \mathop {\left( {{X_n}} \right)}\nolimits_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} \) defined by \( {X_n}: = \sum\nolimits_{i \in \mathbb{Z}} {{a_i}} \left( {{\epsilon_{n - i}}} \right) \) inherits from \( \mathop {\left( {{\epsilon_i}} \right)}\nolimits_{i \in \mathbb{Z}} \) the central limit theorem and functional central limit theorems in various Banach spaces of \( \mathbb{F} \)-valued functions, including Hölder spaces.     

A Short Proof of the Large Time Energy Growth for the Boussinesq System

We give a direct proof of the fact that the \(L^p\)-norms of global solutions of the Boussinesq system in \({\mathbb {R}}^3\) grow large as \(t\rightarrow \infty \) for \(1<p<3\) and decay to zero for \(3<p\le \infty \), providing exact estimates from below and above using a suitable decomposition of the space–time space \({\mathbb {R}}^{+}\times {\mathbb {R}}^{3}\). In particular, the kinetic energy blows up as \(\Vert u(t)\Vert _2^2\sim ct^{1/2}\) for large time. This contrasts with the case of the Navier–Stokes equations.     

Error Bounds for Consistent Reconstruction: Random Polytopes and Coverage Processes

Consistent reconstruction is a method for producing an estimate \(\widetilde{x} \in {\mathbb {R}}^d\) of a signal \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^d\) if one is given a collection of \(N\) noisy linear measurements \(q_n = \langle x, \varphi _n \rangle + \epsilon _n\), \(1 \le n \le N\), that have been corrupted by i.i.d. uniform noise \(\{\epsilon _n\}_{n=1}^N\). We prove mean-squared error bounds for consistent reconstruction when the measurement vectors \(\{\varphi _n\}_{n=1}^N\subset {\mathbb {R}}^d\) are drawn independently at random from a suitable distribution on the unit-sphere \({\mathbb {S}}^{d-1}\). Our main results prove that the mean-squared error (MSE) for consistent reconstruction is of the optimal order \({\mathbb {E}}\Vert x - \widetilde{x}\Vert ^2 \le K\delta ^2/N^2\) under general conditions on the measurement vectors. We also prove refined MSE bounds when the measurement vectors are i.i.d. uniformly distributed on the unit-sphere \({\mathbb {S}}^{d-1}\) and, in particular, show that in this case, the constant \(K\) is dominated by \(d^3\), the cube of the ambient dimension. The proofs involve an analysis of random polytopes using coverage processes on the sphere.     

Some applications of the regularity principle in sequence spaces

The Hardy–Littlewood inequalities for m-linear forms have their origin with the seminal paper of Hardy and Littlewood (Q J Math 5:241–254, 1934). Nowadays it has been extensively investigated and many authors are looking for the optimal estimates of the constants involved. For \(m<p\le 2m\) it asserts that there is a constant \(D_{m,p}^{\mathbb {K}}\ge 1\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \left( \sum _{j_{1},\ldots ,j_{m}=1}^{n}\left| T(e_{j_{1}},\ldots ,e_{j_{m} })\right| ^{\frac{p}{p-m}}\right) ^{\frac{p-m}{p}}\le D_{m,p} ^{\mathbb {K}}\left\| T\right\| , \end{aligned}$$

for all m-linear forms \(T:\ell _{p}^{n}\times \cdots \times \ell _{p} ^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb {K}=\mathbb {R}\) or \(\mathbb {C}\) and all positive integers n. Using a regularity principle recently proved by Pellegrino, Santos, Serrano and Teixeira, we present a straightforward proof of the Hardy–Littlewood inequality and show that:

1. (1)
   If \(m<p_{1}\le p_{2}\le 2m\) then \(D_{m,p_{1}}^{\mathbb {K}}\le D_{m,p_{2}}^{\mathbb {K}}\);
    
2. (2)
   \(D_{m,p}^{\mathbb {K}}\le D_{m-1,p}^{\mathbb {K}}\) whenever \(m<p\le 2\left( m-1\right) \) for all \(m\ge 3\).
    

     

Closures of Hardy and Hardy–Sobolev Spaces in the Bloch Type Space on the Unit Ball

For \(0<\alpha <\infty \), \(0<p<\infty \) and \(0<s<\infty \), we characterize the closures in the \(\alpha \)-Bloch norm of \(\alpha \)-Bloch functions that are in a Hardy space \(H^p\) and in a Hardy–Sobolev space \(H^p_s\) on the unit ball of \(\mathbb {C}^n\).     

On the Lucas sequence equations $$V_{n}(P,1)=wkx^{2},$$$$w\in \left\{ 5,7\right\} $$w∈5,7

Let P be an odd integer and \((V_{n})\) denote the generalized Lucas sequence defined by \(V_{0}=2,\) \(V_{1}=P,\) and \(V_{n+1}=PV_{n}+V_{n-1}\) for \(n\ge 1.\) In this study, we solve the equations \(V_{n}=5kx^{2},\) \(V_{n}=7kx^{2},\) \(V_{n}=5kx^{2}\pm 1,\) and \(V_{n}=7kx^{2}\pm 1\) when k|P with \(k>1.\) Moreover, applying some of the results, we obtain complete solutions to the equations \(V_{n}=\sigma x^{2},\) \(\sigma \in \left\{ 15,21,35\right\} \).     

Sampling and Cubature on Sparse Grids Based on a B-spline Quasi-Interpolation

Let \(X_n = \{x^j\}_{j=1}^n\) be a set of n points in the d-cube \({\mathbb {I}}^d:=[0,1]^d\), and \(\Phi _n = \{\varphi _j\}_{j =1}^n\) a family of n functions on \({\mathbb {I}}^d\). We consider the approximate recovery of functions f on \({{\mathbb {I}}}^d\) from the sampled values \(f(x^1), \ldots , f(x^n)\), by the linear sampling algorithm \( L_n(X_n,\Phi _n,f) := \sum _{j=1}^n f(x^j)\varphi _j. \) The error of sampling recovery is measured in the norm of the space \(L_q({\mathbb {I}}^d)\)-norm or the energy quasi-norm of the isotropic Sobolev space \(W^\gamma _q({\mathbb {I}}^d)\) for \(1 < q < \infty \) and \(\gamma > 0\). Functions f to be recovered are from the unit ball in Besov-type spaces of an anisotropic smoothness, in particular, spaces \(B^{\alpha ,\beta }_{p,\theta }\) of a “hybrid” of mixed smoothness \(\alpha > 0\) and isotropic smoothness \(\beta \in {\mathbb {R}}\), and spaces \(B^a_{p,\theta }\) of a nonuniform mixed smoothness \(a \in {\mathbb {R}}^d_+\). We constructed asymptotically optimal linear sampling algorithms \(L_n(X_n^*,\Phi _n^*,\cdot )\) on special sparse grids \(X_n^*\) and a family \(\Phi _n^*\) of linear combinations of integer or half integer translated dilations of tensor products of B-splines. We computed the asymptotic order of the error of the optimal recovery. This construction is based on B-spline quasi-interpolation representations of functions in \(B^{\alpha ,\beta }_{p,\theta }\) and \(B^a_{p,\theta }\). As consequences, we obtained the asymptotic order of optimal cubature formulas for numerical integration of functions from the unit ball of these Besov-type spaces.     

Nonlinear Evolution Equations with Infinitely Many Derivatives

We study the nonlinear evolutionary euclidean bosonic string equation

$$\begin{aligned} u_t = \Delta e^{-c \Delta }\,u + U(t,u) , \quad c > 0 \; \end{aligned}$$

on the Euclidean space \({\mathbb {R}}^n\). We interpret the nonlocal operator \(\Delta e^{-c\,\Delta }\) using entire vectors of \(\Delta \) in \(L^2({\mathbb {R}}^n)\). We prove that it generates a bounded holomorphic \(C_0\)-semigroup on \(L^2({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) (so that it also satisfies maximal \(L^p\) regularity) and we show the well-posedness of the corresponding nonlinear Cauchy problem.

     

On Reachable Families of the Loewner Differential Equation in Several Complex Variables

Graham, Hamada, Kohr and Kohr studied the normalized time \(T\) reachable families \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},\Omega )\) of the Loewner differential equation, which are generated by the Carathéodory mappings with values in a subfamily \(\Omega \) of the Carathéodory family \({\mathcal {N}}_A\) for the Euclidean unit ball \({\mathbb {B}}^n\), where \(A\) is a linear operator with \(k_+(A)<2m(A)\) (\(k_+(A)\) is the Lyapunov index of \(A\) and \(m(A)=\min \{\mathfrak {R}\left\langle Az,z\right\rangle \big |z\in {\mathbb {C}}^n,\Vert z\Vert =1\}\)). They obtained some compactness and density results, as generalizations of related results due to Roth, and conjectured that if \(\Omega \) is compact and convex, then \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},\Omega )\) is compact and \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},ex\,\Omega )\) is dense in \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},\Omega )\), where \(ex\,\Omega \) denotes the corresponding set of extreme points and \(T\in [0,\infty ]\). We confirm this, by embedding the Carathéodory mappings in a suitable Bochner space.     

Intrinsic Structures of Certain Musielak–Orlicz Hardy Spaces

For any \(p\in (0,\,1]\), let \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)\) be the Musielak–Orlicz Hardy space associated with the Musielak–Orlicz growth function \(\Phi _p\), defined by setting, for any \(x\in \mathbb {R}^n\) and \(t\in [0,\,\infty )\),

$$\begin{aligned}&\Phi _{p}(x,\,t)\\&\quad := {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle \frac{t}{\log {(e+t)}+[t(1+|x|)^n]^{1-p}}&{} \quad \text {when}\ n(1/p-1)\notin \mathbb N \cup \{0\},\\ \displaystyle \frac{t}{\log (e+t)+[t(1+|x|)^n]^{1-p}[\log (e+|x|)]^p}&{} \quad \text {when}\ n(1/p-1)\in \mathbb N\cup \{0\}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

which is the sharp target space of the bilinear decomposition of the product of the Hardy space \(H^p(\mathbb {R}^n)\) and its dual. Moreover, \(H^{\Phi _1}(\mathbb {R}^n)\) is the prototype appearing in the real-variable theory of general Musielak–Orlicz Hardy spaces. In this article, the authors find a new structure of the space \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)\) by showing that, for any \(p\in (0,\,1]\), \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)=H^{\phi _0}(\mathbb {R}^n) +H_{W_p}^p({{{\mathbb {R}}}^n})\) and, for any \(p\in (0,\,1)\), \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)=H^{1}(\mathbb {R}^n) +H_{W_p}^p({{{\mathbb {R}}}^n})\), where \(H^1(\mathbb {R}^n)\) denotes the classical real Hardy space, \(H^{\phi _0}({{{\mathbb {R}}}^n})\) the Orlicz–Hardy space associated with the Orlicz function \(\phi _0(t):=t/\log (e+t)\) for any \(t\in [0,\infty )\), and \(H_{W_p}^p(\mathbb {R}^n)\) the weighted Hardy space associated with certain weight function \(W_p(x)\) that is comparable to \(\Phi _p(x,1)\) for any \(x\in \mathbb {R}^n\). As an application, the authors further establish an interpolation theorem of quasilinear operators based on this new structure.

     

Semigroups of rectangular matrices under a sandwich operation

Let \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}={\mathcal {M}}_{mn}({\mathbb {F}})\) denote the set of all \(m\times n\) matrices over a field \({\mathbb {F}}\), and fix some \(n\times m\) matrix \(A\in {\mathcal {M}}_{nm}\). An associative operation \(\star \) may be defined on \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}\) by \(X\star Y=XAY\) for all \(X,Y\in {\mathcal {M}}_{mn}\), and the resulting sandwich semigroup is denoted \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A={\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A({\mathbb {F}})\). These semigroups are closely related to Munn rings, which are fundamental tools in the representation theory of finite semigroups. We study \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A\) as well as its subsemigroups \(\hbox {Reg}({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A)\) and \({\mathcal {E}}_{mn}^A\) (consisting of all regular elements and products of idempotents, respectively), and the ideals of \(\hbox {Reg}({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A)\). Among other results, we characterise the regular elements; determine Green’s relations and preorders; calculate the minimal number of matrices (or idempotent matrices, if applicable) required to generate each semigroup we consider; and classify the isomorphisms between finite sandwich semigroups \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A({\mathbb {F}}_1)\) and \({\mathcal {M}}_{kl}^B({\mathbb {F}}_2)\). Along the way, we develop a general theory of sandwich semigroups in a suitably defined class of partial semigroups related to Ehresmann-style “arrows only” categories; we hope this framework will be useful in studies of sandwich semigroups in other categories. We note that all our results have applications to the variants \({\mathcal {M}}_n^A\) of the full linear monoid \({\mathcal {M}}_n\) (in the case \(m=n\)), and to certain semigroups of linear transformations of restricted range or kernel (in the case that \(\hbox {rank}(A)\) is equal to one of m, n).     

Mixed Wavelet Leaders Multifractal Formalism in a Product of Critical Besov Spaces

In this paper, we will prove (resp. study) the Baire generic validity of the upper-Hölder (resp. iso-Hölder) mixed wavelet leaders multifractal formalism on a product of two critical Besov spaces \(B_{t_{1}}^{\frac{m}{t_{1}},q_{1}}(\mathbb {R}^m) \times B_{t_{2}}^{\frac{m}{t_{2}},q_{2}}(\mathbb {R}^m)\), for \(t_1,t_2>0\), \(q_1 \le 1\) and \(q_2 \le 1\). Contrary to product spaces \(B_{t_{1}}^{s_{1},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \times B_{t_{2}}^{s_{2},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \) with \(s_{1} > \frac{m}{t_{1}}\) and \(s_{2} >\frac{m}{t_{2}}\) (Ben Slimane in Mediterr J Math, 13(4):1513–1533, 2016) and \((B_{t_{1}}^{s_{1},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \cap C^{\gamma _{1}}(\mathbb {R}^m)) \times (B_{t_{2}}^{s_{2},\infty }(\mathbb {R}^m) \cap C^{\gamma _{2}}(\mathbb {R}^m)\) with \(0<\gamma _{1}<s_{1}<\frac{m}{t_{1}}\) and \(0<\gamma _{2}<s_{2}<\frac{m}{t_{2}}\) (Ben Abid et al. in Mediterr J Math, 13(6):5093–5118, 2016), all pairs of functions in the obtained generic set are not uniform Hölder. Nevertheless, the characterization of the upper bound of the Hölder exponent by decay conditions of local wavelet leaders suffices for our study.     

Gradient Estimates for Commutators of Square Roots of Elliptic Operators with Complex Bounded Measurable Coefficients

Let \(L=-\mathrm{div}(A\nabla )\) be a second order divergence form elliptic operator and A an accretive \(n\times n\) matrix with bounded measurable complex coefficients in \({\mathbb R}^n\). Let \(\nabla b\in L^n({\mathbb R}^n)\,(n>2)\). In this paper, we prove that the commutator generated by b and the square root of L, which is defined by \([b,\sqrt{L}]f(x)=b(x)\sqrt{L}f(x)-\sqrt{L}(bf)(x)\), is bounded from the homogenous Sobolev space \({\dot{L}}_1^2({\mathbb R}^n)\) to \(L^2({\mathbb R}^n)\).     

Monotonicity of solutions for some nonlocal elliptic problems in half-spaces

In this paper we consider classical solutions u of the semilinear fractional problem \((-\Delta )^s u = f(u)\) in \({\mathbb {R}}^N_+\) with \(u=0\) in \({\mathbb {R}}^N {\setminus } {\mathbb {R}}^N_+\), where \((-\Delta )^s\), \(0<s<1\), stands for the fractional laplacian, \(N\ge 2\), \({\mathbb {R}}^N_+=\{x=(x',x_N)\in {\mathbb {R}}^N{:}\ x_N>0\}\) is the half-space and \(f\in C^1\) is a given function. With no additional restriction on the function f, we show that bounded, nonnegative, nontrivial classical solutions are indeed positive in \({\mathbb {R}}^N_+\) and verify

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_N}>0 \quad \hbox {in } {\mathbb {R}}^N_+. \end{aligned}$$

This is in contrast with previously known results for the local case \(s=1\), where nonnegative solutions which are not positive do exist and the monotonicity property above is not known to hold in general even for positive solutions when \(f(0)<0\).
