Logarithmic Mean Oscillation on the Polydisc,Multi-Parameter Paraproducts and Iterated Commutators

We introduce another notion of bounded logarithmic mean oscillation in the \(N\) -torus and give an equivalent definition in terms of boundedness of multi-parameter paraproducts from the dyadic little \(\mathrm {BMO}\) , \(\mathrm {bmo}^d(\mathbb {T}^N)\) to the dyadic product \(\mathrm {BMO}\) space, \(\mathrm {BMO}^d(\mathbb {T}^N)\) . We also obtain a sufficient condition for the boundedness of the iterated commutators from the subspace of \(\mathrm {bmo}(\mathbb {R}^N)\) consisting of functions with support in \([0,1]^N\) to \(\mathrm {BMO}(\mathbb {R}^N)\) .     

Constant mean curvature graphs on exterior domains of the hyperbolic plane

We prove an existence result for non-rotational constant mean curvature ends in ${\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ , where ${\mathbb{H}^2}$ is the hyperbolic real plane. The value of the curvature is ${h \in \big(0, \frac{1}{2} \big)}$ . We use Schauder theory and a continuity method for solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation on exterior domains of ${\mathbb{H}^2}$ . We also prove a fine property of the asymptotic behavior of the rotational ends introduced by Sa Earp and Toubiana.     

Characterization for Fock-Type Space via Higher Order Derivatives and its Application

The space of entire functions \(\mathcal {F}_{\alpha }^{\infty }\) is mentioned in the paper of S. Janson, J. Peetre, and R. Rochberg. In this paper, we establish a characterization for the space \(\mathcal {F}_{\alpha }^{\infty }\) by \(n\) -th derivatives of entire functions. As an application of this result, we study the boundedness of Li-Stevi?’s integral operators and estimate essential norms of these operators acting on \(\mathcal {F}_{\alpha }^{\infty }\) . Furthermore we describe complete characterizations for boundedness and compactness of the Volterra-type integral operators on \(\mathcal {F}_{\alpha }^{\infty }\) .     

On asymptotically harmonic manifolds of negative curvature

We study asymptotically harmonic manifolds of negative curvature, without any cocompactness or homogeneity assumption. We show that asymptotic harmonicity provides a lot of information on the asymptotic geometry of these spaces: in particular, we determine the volume entropy, the spectrum and the relative densities of visual and harmonic measures on the ideal boundary. Then, we prove an asymptotic analogue of the classical mean value property of harmonic manifolds, and we characterize asymptotically harmonic manifolds, among Cartan–Hadamard spaces of strictly negative curvature, by the existence of an asymptotic equivalent \(\tau (u)\mathrm {e}^{Er}\) for the volume-density of geodesic spheres (with \(\tau \) constant in case \(DR_M\) is bounded). Finally, we show the existence of a Margulis function, and explicitly compute it, for all asymptotically harmonic manifolds.     

Loops and the Lagrange Property

Let $\cal F$ be a family of finite loops closed under subloops and factor loops. Then every loop in $\cal F$ has the strong Lagrange property if and only if every simple loop in $\cal F$ has the weak Lagrange property. We exhibit several such families, and indicate how the Lagrange property enters into the problem of existence of finite simple loops.     

Tame properties of sets and functions definable in weakly o-minimal structures

Let ${{\mathcal{M}}=(M, <, \ldots )}$ be a weakly o-minimal expansion of a dense linear order without endpoints. Some tame properties of sets and functions definable in ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ which hold in o-minimal structures, are examined. One of them is the intermediate value property, say IVP. It is shown that strongly continuous definable functions in ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ satisfy an extended version of IVP. After introducing a weak version of definable connectedness in ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ , we prove that strong cells in ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ are weakly definably connected, so every set definable in ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ is a finite union of its weakly definably connected components, provided that ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ has the strong cell decomposition property. Then, we consider a local continuity property for definable functions in ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ and conclude some results on cell decomposition regarding that property. Finally, we extend the notion of having no dense graph (NDG) which was examined for definable functions in (Dolich et al. in Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 362:1371–1411, 2010) and related to uniform finiteness, definable completeness, and others. We show that every weakly o-minimal structure ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ having cell decomposition, satisfies NDG, i.e. every definable function in ${{\mathcal{M}}}$ has no dense graph.     

Existence of entire solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations

The paper deals with the existence of entire solutions for a quasilinear equation ${(\mathcal E)_\lambda}$ in ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ , depending on a real parameter λ, which involves a general elliptic operator in divergence form A and two main nonlinearities. The competing nonlinear terms combine each other, being the first subcritical and the latter supercritical. We prove the existence of a critical value λ* > 0 with the property that ${(\mathcal E)_\lambda}$ admits nontrivial non-negative entire solutions if and only if λ ≥ λ*. Furthermore, when ${\lambda > \overline{\lambda} \ge \lambda^*}$ , the existence of a second independent nontrivial non-negative entire solution of ${(\mathcal{E})_\lambda}$ is proved under a further natural assumption on A.     

Weighted Hardy operators in the local generalized vanishing Morrey spaces

In this paper we study $p\rightarrow q$ -boundedness of the multi-dimensional Hardy type operators in the vanishing local generalized Morrey spaces $V\mathcal L ^{p,\varphi }_\mathrm{{loc}}(\mathbb R ^n,w)$ defined by an almost increasing function $\varphi (r)$ and radial type weight $w(|x|)$ . We obtain sufficient conditions, in terms of some integral inequalities imposed on $\varphi $ and $w$ , for such a boundedness. In the case where the function $\varphi (r)$ and the weight are power functions, these conditions are also necessary.     

Utility maximization with a given pricing measure when the utility is not necessarily concave

We study the problem of maximizing expected utility from terminal wealth for a not necessarily concave utility function $U$ and for a budget set given by one fixed pricing measure. We prove the existence and several fundamental properties of a maximizer. We analyze the (not necessarily concave) value function (indirect utility) $u(x,U)$ . In particular, we show that the concave envelope of $u(x,U)$ is the value function $u(x,U_c)$ of the utility maximization problem for the concave envelope $U_c$ of the utility function $U$ . The two value functions are shown to coincide if the underlying probability space is atomless. This allows us to characterize the maximizers for several model classes explicitly.     

Existence of prescribed mean curvature graphs in hyperbolic space

In this paper we are concerned with questions of existence and uniqueness of graph-like prescribed mean curvature hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space ?ⁿ⁺¹. In the half-space setting, we will study radial graphs over the totally geodesic hypersurface . We prove the following existence result: Let be a bounded domain of class and let . If everywhere on , where denotes the hyperbolic mean curvature of the cylinder over , then for every there is a unique graph over with mean curvature attaining the boundary values on . Further we show the existence of smooth boundary data such that no solution exists in case of for some under the assumption that has a sign.     

Uniform Boundedness and Decay Estimates for a System of Reaction-Diffusion Equations with a Triangular Diffusion Matrix on {\mathbb{R}^{n}}

This paper concerns with a class of reaction-diffusion systems with triangular diffusion matrix on the unbounded domain ${\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ . The system with diagonal diffusion matrix has been studied by J. D. Avrin and F. Rothe in [4]. We prove two new results about uniform boundedness to solutions of such class of reaction-diffusion systems in ${BUC(\mathbb{R}^{n})}$ , the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions from ${\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ to ${\mathbb{R}}$ .     

On the convergence of a smoothed penalty algorithm for semi-infinite programming

For semi-infinite programming (SIP), we consider a class of smoothed penalty functions, which approximate the exact $l_\rho (0<\rho \le 1)$ penalty functions. On base of the smoothed penalty function, we present a feasible penalty algorithm for solving SIP. Without any boundedness condition or coercive condition, we establish the global convergence theorem. Then we present a perturbation theorem for this algorithm and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence to the optimal value of SIP. Under Mangasarian–Fromovitz constrained qualification condition, we further discuss the convergence properties for the algorithm based upon a subclass of smooth approximations to the exact $l_\rho $ penalty function. Finally, numerical results are given.     

A perturbation method for spinorial Yamabe type equations on S^m and its application

For $m\ge 2$ , we prove the existence of non-trivial solutions for a certain kind of nonlinear Dirac equations with critical Sobolev nonlinearities on $S^m$ via a perturbative variational method. For the special case $m=2$ , this establishes the existence of a conformal immersion $S^2\rightarrow \mathbb R ^3$ with prescribed mean curvature $H$ which is close to a positive constant under an index counting condition on $H$ .     

Topological genericity of nowhere differentiable functions in the disc algebra

In this paper we introduce a class of functions contained in the disc algebra \({\mathcal{A}(D)}\) . We study functions \({f \in \mathcal{A}(D)}\) which have the property that the continuous periodic function \({u = {\rm Re}f|_{\mathbb{T}}}\) , where \({\mathbb{T}}\) is the unit circle, is nowhere differentiable. We prove that this class is non-empty and instead, generically, every function \({f \in \mathcal{A}(D)}\) has the above property. Afterwards, we strengthen this result by proving that, generically, for every function \({f \in \mathcal{A}(D)}\) , both continuous periodic functions \({u = {\rm Re}f|_\mathbb{T}}\) and \({\tilde{u} = {\rm Im}f|_\mathbb{T}}\) are nowhere differentiable. We avoid any use of the Weierstrass function and we mainly use Baire’s Category Theorem.     

Weighted Composition Operators from the Minimal Möbius Invariant Space into the Bloch Space

Let ${{\varphi}}$ be an analytic self-map of the open unit disk ${{\mathbb{D}}}$ in the complex plane ${{\mathbb{C}, H(\mathbb{D})}}$ the space of complex-valued analytic functions on ${{\mathbb{D}}}$ , and let u be a fixed function in ${{H(\mathbb{D})}}$ . The weighted composition operator is defined by $$(uC_{\varphi}f)(z) = u(z)f({\varphi}(z)), \quad z \in \mathbb{D}, f \in H(\mathbb{D}).$$ In this paper, we study the boundedness and the compactness of the weighted composition operators from the minimal Möbius invariant space into the Bloch space and the little Bloch space.     

Continuous pursuit curves on cat (K) spaces

We prove theorems of existence, uniqueness and rate of convergence for continuous pursuit curves in cat \((K)\) spaces. We prove that these pursuit curves have a regularity property that serves as a replacement for \(C^{1,1}\) regularity in smooth spaces.     

Boundedness and Compactness of Pseudodifferential Operators with Non-Regular Symbols on Weighted Lebesgue Spaces

Applying the boundedness on weighted Lebesgue spaces of the maximal singular integral operator S _* related to the Carleson?CHunt theorem on almost everywhere convergence, we study the boundedness and compactness of pseudodifferential operators a(x, D) with non-regular symbols in ${L^\infty(\mathbb{R}, V(\mathbb{R})), PC(\overline{\mathbb{R}}, V(\mathbb{R}))}$ and ${\Lambda_\gamma(\mathbb{R}, V_d(\mathbb{R}))}$ on the weighted Lebesgue spaces ${L^p(\mathbb{R},w)}$ , with 1?< p <? ?? and ${w\in A_p(\mathbb{R})}$ . The Banach algebras ${L^\infty(\mathbb{R}, V(\mathbb{R}))}$ and ${PC(\overline{\mathbb{R}}, V(\mathbb{R}))}$ consist, respectively, of all bounded measurable or piecewise continuous ${V(\mathbb{R})}$ -valued functions on ${\mathbb{R}}$ where ${V(\mathbb{R})}$ is the Banach algebra of all functions on ${\mathbb{R}}$ of bounded total variation, and the Banach algebra ${\Lambda_\gamma(\mathbb{R}, V_d(\mathbb{R}))}$ consists of all Lipschitz ${V_d(\mathbb{R})}$ -valued functions of exponent ${\gamma \in (0,1]}$ on ${\mathbb{R}}$ where ${V_d(\mathbb{R})}$ is the Banach algebra of all functions on ${\mathbb{R}}$ of bounded variation on dyadic shells. Finally, for the Banach algebra ${\mathfrak{A}_{p,w}}$ generated by all pseudodifferential operators a(x, D) with symbols ${a(x, \lambda) \in PC(\overline{\mathbb{R}}, V(\mathbb{R}))}$ on the space ${L^p(\mathbb{R}, w)}$ , we construct a non-commutative Fredholm symbol calculus and give a Fredholm criterion for the operators ${A \in \mathfrak{A}_{p,w}}$ .     

Some Integral Representations and Singular Integral over Plane in Clifford Analysis

In this paper, Cauchy type integral and singular integral over hyper-complex plane \({\prod}\) are considered. By using a special Möbius transform, an equivalent relation between \({\widehat{H}^\mu}\) class functions over \({\prod}\) and \({H^\mu}\) class functions over the unit sphere is shown. For \({\widehat{H}^\mu}\) class functions over \({\prod}\) , we prove the existence of Cauchy type integral and singular integral over \({\prod}\) . Cauchy integral formulas as well as Poisson integral formulas for monogenic functions in upper-half and lower-half space are given respectively. By using Möbius transform again, the relation between the Cauchy type integrals and the singular integrals over \({\prod}\) and unit sphere is built.
