<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-mixed intersection bodies

In this paper the author first introduce a new concept of L _p -dual mixed volumes of star bodies which extends the classical dual mixed volumes. Moreover, we extend the notions of L _p intersection body to L _p -mixed intersection body. Inequalities for L _p -dual mixed volumes of L _p -mixed intersection bodies are established and the results established here provide new estimates for these type of inequalities.

We consider the orthogonal L₂-projection P onto continuous finite element spaces. We prove estimates for P in a weighted L_p-norm and use these to prove corresponding approximation properties. AMS subject classification (2000) 65N60, 35K85     

The (p,q)-mixed geominimal surface areas1

Abstract

The (p, q)-mixed geominimal surface areas are introduced. A special case of the new concept is the L_p geominimal surface area introduced by Lutwak. Related inequalities, such as a?ne isoperimetric inequality, monotonous inequality, cyclic inequality, and Brunn-Minkowski inequality, are established. These new inequalities strengthen some well-known inequalities related to the L_p geominimal surface area.

The Petty Projection Inequality for Lp-Mixed Projection Bodies

Recently, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang posed the notion of Lp-projection body and established the Lp-analog of the Petty projection inequality. In this paper, the notion of Lp-mixed projection body is introduced--the Lp-projection body being a special case. The Petty projection inequality, as well as Lutwak＇s quermassintegrals （Lp-mixed quermassintegrals） extension of the Petty projection inequality, is established for Lp-mixed projection body.     

General L p -harmonic Blaschke bodies

Lutwak introduced the harmonic Blaschke combination and the harmonic Blaschke body of a star body. Further, Feng and Wang introduced the concept of the L _p -harmonic Blaschke body of a star body. In this paper, we define the notion of general L _p -harmonic Blaschke bodies and establish some of its properties. In particular, we obtain the extreme values concerning the volume and the L _p -dual geominimal surface area of this new notion.     

Some complete metrics on spaces of fuzzy subsets

The classes of the L_p,∞- and L_p-metrics play an important role to develop a probability theory in fuzzy sample spaces. All of these metrics are known to be separable, but not complete. The classes are closely related as for each L_p,∞-metric there exists some L_p-metric which induces the same topology. This paper deals with the completion of the L_p,∞- and L_p-metrics. We can also show that the relationship between the classes of L_p,∞- and L_p-metrics still holds for the obtained respective classes of their completions.     

Inequalities for mixed p-affine surface area

We prove new Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities and new affine isoperimetric inequalities for mixed p-affine surface areas. We introduce a new class of bodies, the illumination surface bodies, and establish some of their properties. We show, for instance, that they are not necessarily convex. We give geometric interpretations of L _p affine surface areas, mixed p-affine surface areas and other functionals via these bodies. The surprising new element is that not necessarily convex bodies provide the tool for these interpretations.     

The Central Approximation Theorems for the Method of Left Gamma Quasi-Interpolants in L p spaces

The optimal degree of approximation of the method of Gammaoperators G _n in L _p spaces is O(n ^-1). In order to obtain much faster convergence, quasi-interpolants G _n ^(k) of G _n in the sense of Sablonnière are considered. We show that for fixed k the operator-norms G _n ^(k) _p are uniformly bounded in n. In addition to this, for the first time in the theory of quasi-interpolants, all central problems for approximation methods (direct theorem, inverse theorem, equivalence theorem) could be solved completely for the L _p metric. Left Gamma quasi-interpolants turn out to be as powerful as linear combinations of Gammaoperators [6].     

Connections between stability and asymptotic stability of nonlinear switched systems

Here are considered nonlinear switched systems in which the switching occurs among a class of subsystems that are characterized by input–output properties stated in terms of L_p spaces of signals. The relationships between the L_p stability of each subsystem and the internal stability of the switched system are studied. In particular, conditions on the dwell time of the switching signals that guarantee the asymptotic stability of the overall system are provided. The connections among these conditions and the L_p input–output properties of the subsystems are investigated.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> discrepancy of generalized two-dimensional Hammersley point sets

We determine the L _p discrepancy of the two-dimensional Hammersley point set in base b. These formulas show that the L _p discrepancy of the Hammersley point set is not of best possible order with respect to the general (best possible) lower bound on L _p discrepancies due to Roth and Schmidt. To overcome this disadvantage we introduce permutations in the construction of the Hammersley point set and show that there always exist permutations such that the L _p discrepancy of the generalized Hammersley point set is of best possible order. For the L ₂ discrepancy such permutations are given explicitly.

Lp-Approximable Sequences of Vectors and Limit Distribution of Quadratic Forms of Random Variables

The properties of L₂-approximable sequences established here form a complete toolkit for statistical results concerning weighted sums of random variables, where the weights are nonstochastic sequences approximated in some sense by square-integrable functions and the random variables are “two-wing” averages of martingale differences. The results constitute the first significant advancement in the theory of L₂-approximable sequences since 1976 when Moussatat introduced a narrower notion of L₂-generated sequences. The method relies on a study of certain linear operators in the spaces L_p and l_p. A criterion of L_p-approximability is given. The results are new even when the weight generating function is identically 1. A central limit theorem for quadratic forms of random variables illustrates the method.     

A r -Weighted Poincaré-Type Inequalities for Differential Forms in Some Domains

We prove local weighted integral inequalities for differential forms. Then byusing the local results, we prove global weighted integral inequalities for differential forms in L _s (μ)-averaging domains and in John domains, respectively, which can be considered as generalizations of the classical Poincaré-type inequality.     

L p Spectral Independence of Elliptic Operators via Commutator Estimates

Let {T _p:q ₁ p q ₂} be a family of consistent C ₀ semigroups on L ^p(), with q ₁,q ₂ [1,) and open. We show that certain commutator conditions on T _p and on the resolvent of its generator A _p ensure the p independence of the spectrum of A _p for p [q ₁,q ₂.Applications include the case of Petrovskij correct systems with Hölder continuous coefficients, Schrödinger operators, and certain elliptic operators in divergence form with real, but not necessarily symmetric, or complex coefficients.     

On weighted L p -spaces of vector-valued entire analytic functions

The weighted L _p -spaces of entire analytic functions are generalized to the vector-valued setting. In particular, it is shown that the dual of the space is isomorphic to when the function χ _K is an L _p,ρ (E)-Fourier multiplier. This result allows us to give some new characterizations of the so-called UMD-property and to represent several ultradistribution spaces by means of spaces of vector sequences. J.

Point sets with low <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-discrepancy

In this paper we study the L _p -discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets. While it is known that the (unshifted) Hammersley point set (which is also known as Roth net) with N points has L _p -discrepancy (p an integer) of order (log N)/N, we show that there always exists a shift such that the digitally shifted Hammersley point set has L _p -discrepancy (p an even integer) of order which is best possible by a result of W. Schmidt. Further we concentrate on the case p = 2. We give very tight lower and upper bounds for the L ₂-discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets which show that the value of the L ₂-discrepancy of such a point set mostly depends on the number of zero coordinates of the shift and not so much on the position of these.

An analogue of Montel's theorem for some classes of rational functions

For sequences of rational functions, analytic in some domain, a theorem of Montel's type is proved. As an application, sequences of rational functions of the best L _p -approximation with an unbounded number of finite poles are considered.
