A new characterization of Bergman–Schatten spaces and a duality result

Let denote the space of all upper triangular matrices A such that lim_r→1⁻(1−r²)(A*C(r))^′_B(ℓ²)=0. We also denote by the closed Banach subspace of consisting of all upper triangular matrices whose diagonals are compact operators. In this paper we give a duality result between and the Bergman–Schatten spaces . We also give a characterization of the more general Bergman–Schatten spaces , 1p<∞, in terms of Taylor coefficients, which is similar to that of M. Mateljevic and M. Pavlovic [M. Mateljevic, M. Pavlovic, L^p-behaviour of the integral means of analytic functions, Studia Math. 77 (1984) 219–237] for classical Bergman spaces.     

Analyticity of functions analytic on circles

Let Δ be the open unit disc in, let pbΔ, and let f be a continuous function on which extends holomorphically from each circle in centered at the origin and from each circle in which passes through p. Then f is holomorphic on Δ.     

Closed ideals in with the Duhamel product as multiplication

Let (C^∞,) denote the algebra of infinitely differentiable functions in [0,1] with Duhamel product as multiplication. We describe all the closed ideals in (C^∞,). As a consequence we obtain that the integration operator I, , is unicellular in the space C^∞[0,1], which is the solution of a long-standing problem.     

Instance-optimality in probability with an -minimization decoder

Let Φ(ω), ωΩ, be a family of n×N random matrices whose entries _i,j are independent realizations of a symmetric, real random variable η with expectation and variance . Such matrices are used in compressed sensing to encode a vector by y=Φx. The information y holds about x is extracted by using a decoder . The most prominent decoder is the ℓ₁-minimization decoder Δ which gives for a given the element which has minimal ℓ₁-norm among all with Φz=y. This paper is interested in properties of the random family Φ(ω) which guarantee that the vector will with high probability approximate x in to an accuracy comparable with the best k-term error of approximation in for the range kan/log₂(N/n). This means that for the above range of k, for each signal , the vector satisfies

with high probability on the draw of Φ. Here, Σ_k consists of all vectors with at most k nonzero coordinates. The first result of this type was proved by Wojtaszczyk [P. Wojtaszczyk, Stability and instance optimality for Gaussian measurements in compressed sensing, Found. Comput. Math., in press] who showed this property when η is a normalized Gaussian random variable. We extend this property to more general random variables, including the particular case where η is the Bernoulli random variable which takes the values with equal probability. The proofs of our results use geometric mapping properties of such random matrices some of which were recently obtained in [A. Litvak, A. Pajor, M. Rudelson, N. Tomczak-Jaegermann, Smallest singular value of random matrices and geometry of random polytopes, Adv. Math. 195 (2005) 491–523].     

Spaces of holomorphic functions in regular domains

Let Ω be a regular domain in the complex plane , . Let be the linear space over of the holomorphic functions f in Ω such that f⁽ⁿ⁾ is bounded in Ω and is continuously extendible to the closure of Ω, n=0,1,2,… . We endow , in a natural manner, with a structure of Fréchet space and we obtain dense subspaces F of , with good topological linear properties, also satisfying that each function f of F, distinct from zero, does not extend holomorphically outside Ω.     

Second-order boundary value problems with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions (II)

Sufficient conditions are given for the existence of solutions of the following nonlinear boundary value problem with nonhomogeneous multi-point boundary condition

We prove that the whole plane is divided by a “continuous decreasing curve” Γ into two disjoint connected regions Λ^E and Λ^N such that the above problem has at least one solution for (λ₁,λ₂)Γ, has at least two solutions for (λ₁,λ₂)Λ^EΓ, and has no solution for (λ₁,λ₂)Λ^N. We also find explicit subregions of Λ^E where the above problem has at least two solutions and two positive solutions, respectively.     

Gruenhage compacta and strictly convex dual norms

We prove that if K is a Gruenhage compact space then admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. As a corollary, we show that if X is a Banach space and , where K is a Gruenhage compact in the w^*-topology and |||||| is equivalent to a coarser, w^*-lower semicontinuous norm on X^*, then X^* admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm. We give a partial converse to the first result by showing that if is a tree, then admits an equivalent, strictly convex dual norm if and only if is a Gruenhage space. Finally, we present some stability properties satisfied by Gruenhage spaces; in particular, Gruenhage spaces are stable under perfect images.     

There's something about the diameter

We study diameter preserving linear bijections from onto where X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces and V, Z are Banach spaces. For instance, we obtain that if X has at least four points, Z is linearly isometric to V and either Z is a space or Z^* is strictly convex or smooth, then there is a diameter preserving linear bijection from onto if and only if X is homeomorphic to Y. We also consider the case when X and Y are not compact but locally compact spaces.     

On the sampling and recovery of bandlimited functions via scattered translates of the Gaussian

Let λ be a positive number, and let be a fixed Riesz-basis sequence, namely, (x_j) is strictly increasing, and the set of functions is a Riesz basis (i.e., unconditional basis) for L₂[−π,π]. Given a function whose Fourier transform is zero almost everywhere outside the interval [−π,π], there is a unique sequence in , depending on λ and f, such that the function

is continuous and square integrable on (−∞,∞), and satisfies the interpolatory conditions I_λ(f)(x_j)=f(x_j), . It is shown that I_λ(f)converges to f in , and also uniformly on , as λ→0⁺. In addition, the fundamental functions for the univariate interpolation process are defined, and some of their basic properties, including their exponential decay for large argument, are established. It is further shown that the associated interpolation operators are bounded on for every p[1,∞].     

On a class of degenerate and singular elliptic systems in bounded domains

This paper deals with the nonexistence and multiplicity of nonnegative, nontrivial solutions to a class of degenerate and singular elliptic systems of the form

where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω in , N2, and , , h_i (i=1,2) are allowed to have “essential” zeroes at some points in Ω, (F_u,F_v)=F, and λ is a positive parameter. Our proofs rely essentially on the critical point theory tools combined with a variant of the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality in [P. Caldiroli, R. Musina, On a variational degenerate elliptic problem, NoDEA Nonlinear Differential Equations Appl. 7 (2000) 189–199].     

Positive solutions for Robin problem involving the -Laplacian

Consider Robin problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian on a smooth bounded domain Ω as follows

Applying the sub-supersolution method and the variational method, under appropriate assumptions on f, we prove that there exists λ_*>0 such that the problem has at least two positive solutions if λ(0,λ_*), has at least one positive solution if λ=λ_*<+∞ and has no positive solution if λ>λ_*. To prove the results, we prove a norm on W^1,p(x)(Ω) without the part of ||_L^p(x)(Ω) which is equivalent to usual one and establish a special strong comparison principle for Robin problem.     

Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities in regular Orlicz spaces involving nonlinear expressions

We consider a triple of N-functions (M,H,J) that satisfy the Δ^′-condition, and suppose that an additive variant of interpolation inequality holds

where , is an arbitrary set invariant with respect to external and internal dilations. We show that the above inequality implies its certain nonlinear variant involving the expressions and . Various generalizations of this inequality to the more general class of N-functions, measures and to higher order derivatives are also discussed and the examples are presented.     

Rotational hypersurfaces of periodic mean curvature

In this paper we discuss rotational hypersurfaces in and more specifically rotational hypersurfaces with periodic mean curvature function. We show that, for a given real analytic function H(s) on , every rotational hypersurface M in with mean curvature H(s) can be extended infinitely in the sense that all coordinate functions of the generating curve of M are defined on all of as well. For rotational hypersurfaces with periodic mean curvature we present a criterion characterizing the periodicity of such hypersurfaces in terms of their mean curvature function. We also discuss a method to produce families of periodic rotational hypersurfaces where each member of the family has the same mean curvature function. In fact, given any closed planar curve with curvature κ, we prove that there is a family of periodic rotational hypersurfaces such that the mean curvature of each element of the family is explicitly determined by κ. Delaunay's famous result for surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature is included here as the case where n=3 and κ is constant.     

Plancherel–Polya-type inequalities for entire functions of exponential type in

The goal of the paper is to prove generalizations of the classical Plancherel–Polya inequalities in which point-wise sampling of functions (δ-distributions) is replaced by more general compactly supported distributions on . As an application it is shown that a function , 1p∞, which is an entire function of exponential type is uniquely determined by a set of numbers {Ψ_j(f)}, , where {Ψ_j}, , is a countable sequence of compactly supported distributions. In the case p=2 a reconstruction method of a Paley–Wiener function f from a sequence of samples {Ψ_j(f)}, , is given. This method is a generalization of the classical result of Duffin–Schaeffer about exponential frames on intervals.     

Oscillation of second-order damped dynamic equations on time scales

The study of dynamic equations on time scales has been created in order to unify the study of differential and difference equations. The general idea is to prove a result for a dynamic equation where the domain of the unknown function is a so-called time scale, which may be an arbitrary closed subset of the reals. This way results not only related to the set of real numbers or set of integers but those pertaining to more general time scales are obtained. In this paper, by employing the Riccati transformation technique we will establish some oscillation criteria for second-order linear and nonlinear dynamic equations with damping terms on a time scale . Our results in the special case when and extend and improve some well-known oscillation results for second-order linear and nonlinear differential and difference equations and are essentially new on the time scales , h>0, for q>1, , etc. Some examples are considered to illustrate our main results.     

Finitely additive representation of spaces

Let be any atomless and countably additive probability measure on the product space with the usual σ-algebra. Then there is a purely finitely additive probability measure λ on the power set of a countable subset such that can be isometrically isomorphically embedded as a closed subspace of L^p(λ). The embedding is strict. It is also ‘canonical,’ in the sense that it maps simple and continuous functions on to their restrictions to T.     

Partial regularity for solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity

We consider the following nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity:

where α>β>1, a>0, and Ω is an open subset of , n2. Let uH¹(Ω) with and be a nonnegative stationary solution. If we denote the zero set of u by

we shall prove that the Hausdorff dimension of Σ is less than or equal to .     

On wavelets related to the Walsh series

For any integers p,n≥2 necessary and sufficient conditions are given for scaling filters with pⁿ many terms to generate a p-multiresolution analysis in . A method for constructing orthogonal compactly supported p-wavelets on is described. Also, an adaptive p-wavelet approximation in is considered.
