The embedding and approximation for classes of functions with a dominant mixed difference

We obtain a criterion for embedding the class SH _p ^Ω into that SB _q,? ^Ω* (1 < p ≤ q < ∞). We also determine the exact order of the best approximations of functions from classes SB _p,? ^Ω by trigonometric polynomials whose harmonics belong to sets generated by level surfaces of the majorant Λ (t).     

The extension of functions of Sobolev classes beyond the boundary of the domain on Carnot groups

We prove the theorem on extension of the functions of the Sobolev space W _p ^l (Ω) which are defined on a bounded (ε, δ)-domain Ω in a two-step Carnot group beyond the boundary of the domain of definition. This theorem generalizes the well-known extension theorem by P. Jones for domains of the Euclidean space.     

On the properties of maps connected with inverse Sturm-Liouville problems

Let L _D be the Sturm-Liouville operator generated by the differential expression L _y = ?y″ + q(x)y on the finite interval [0, π] and by the Dirichlet boundary conditions. We assume that the potential q belongs to the Sobolev space W ₂ ^? [0, π] with some ? ≥ ?1. It is well known that one can uniquely recover the potential q from the spectrum and the norming constants of the operator L _D. In this paper, we construct special spaces of sequences ? ₂ ^θ in which the regularized spectral data {s _k } _?∞ ^∞ of the operator L _D are placed. We prove the following main theorem: the map F _q = {s _k } from W ₂ ^? to ? ₂ ^θ is weakly nonlinear (i.e., it is a compact perturbation of a linear map). A similar result is obtained for the operator L _DN generated by the same differential expression and the Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. These results serve as a basis for solving the problem of uniform stability of recovering a potential. Note that this problem has not been considered in the literature. The uniform stability results are formulated here, but their proof will be presented elsewhere.     

Traces of Sobolev functions on the Ahlfors sets of Carnot groups

We prove the converse of the trace theorem for the functions of the Sobolev spaces W _p ^l on a Carnot group on the regular closed subsets called Ahlfors d-sets (the direct trace theorem was obtained in one of our previous publications). The theorem generalizes Johnsson and Wallin’s results for Sobolev functions on the Euclidean space. As a consequence we give a theorem on the boundary values of Sobolev functions on a domain with smooth boundary in a two-step Carnot group. We consider an example of application of the theorems to solvability of the boundary value problem for one partial differential equation.     

Multiple solutions for non-homogeneous degenerate Schrödinger equations in cone Sobolev spaces

The present paper deals with the study of semilinear and non-homogeneous Schrödinger equations on a manifold with conical singularity. We provide a suitable constant by Sobolev embedding constant and for p ∈ (2, 2?) with respect to non-homogeneous term g(x) ∈ L ₂ ^n/2 (B), which helps to find multiple solutions of our problem. More precisely, we prove the existence of two solutions to the problem 1.1 with negative and positive energy in cone Sobolev space H _2,0 ^1,n/2 (B). Finally, we consider p = 2 and we prove the existence and uniqueness of Fuchsian-Poisson problem.     

A discrete norm on a Lipschitz surface and the Sobolev straightening of a boundary

Let a piece of the boundary of a Lipschitz domain be parameterized conventionally and let the traces of functions in the Sobolev space W _p ² be written out through this parameter. In this space, we propose a discrete (diadic) norm generalizing A. Kamont’s norm in the plane case. We study the conditions when the space of traces coincides with the corresponding space for the plane boundary.     

To the theory of the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for strongly elliptic systems in Lipschitz domains

For strongly elliptic Systems with Douglis-Nirenberg structure, we investigate the regularity of variational solutions to the Dirichlet and Neumann problems in a bounded Lipschitz domain. The solutions of the problems with homogeneous boundary conditions are originally defined in the simplest L ₂-Sobolev spaces H ^σ . The regularity results are obtained in the potential spaces H _p ^σ and Besov spaces B _p ^σ . In the case of second-order Systems, the author’s results obtained a year ago are strengthened. The Dirichlet problem with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions is considered with the use of Whitney arrays.     

Pointwise multipliers for Besov spaces of dominating mixed smoothness-Ⅱ

We continue our investigations on pointwise multipliers for Besov spaces of dominating mixed smoothness. This time we study the algebra property of the classes S_(p,q)~rB(R~d) with respect to pointwise multiplication. In addition, if p≤q, we are able to describe the space of all pointwise multipliers for S_(p,q)~rB(R~d).     

Numerical ranges for pairs of operators,duality mappings with gauge function,and spectra of nonlinear operators

We define and study numerical ranges for pairs of nonlinear operators F and J which act between some Banach space X and its dual X*, with respect to some increasing gauge function φ. Connections with spectra for certain classes of nonlinear operators introduced recently in the literature are also established. As a sample example, we consider the case when F is the duality map of the Lebesgue space L ^p (Ω), J is the duality map of the corresponding Sobolev space W ₀ ^1,p (Ω), and φ(t)=t ^p?1 (1<p<∞). This leads to existence, uniqueness, and perturbation results for a homogeneous eigenvalue problem involving the p-Laplace operator.     

Generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Adic Fourier Transform and Estimates of Integral Modulus of Continuity in Terms of This Transform

We consider a new class of functions on the p-adic linear space ? _p ⁿ for which a Fourier transform can be defined.We prove equalities of Parseval type, an inversion formula and a sufficient condition for a function to be represented as this Fourier transform. Also we give a sharp estimate of the L²(? _p ⁿ ) modulus of continuity in terms of Fourier transform generalizing the result of S. S. Platonov in the case n = 1. Finally we prove a generalization of this result and its converse for L^q(? _p ⁿ ) with appropriate q.     

Anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces and their applications

Let p ∈(0, 1], q ∈(0, ∞] and A be a general expansive matrix on Rn. We introduce the anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz space H~(p,q)_A(R~n) associated with A via the non-tangential grand maximal function and then establish its various real-variable characterizations in terms of the atomic and the molecular decompositions, the radial and the non-tangential maximal functions, and the finite atomic decompositions. All these characterizations except the ∞-atomic characterization are new even for the classical isotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces on Rn.As applications, we first prove that Hp,q A(Rn) is an intermediate space between H~(p1,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p2,q2)_A(R~n) with 0 p1 p p2 ∞ and q1, q, q2 ∈(0, ∞], and also between H~(p,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p,q2)_A(R~n) with p ∈(0, ∞)and 0 q1 q q2 ∞ in the real method of interpolation. We then establish a criterion on the boundedness of sublinear operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) into a quasi-Banach space; moreover, we obtain the boundedness of δ-type Calder′on-Zygmund operators from H~(p,∞)_A(R~n) to the weak Lebesgue space L~(p,∞)(R~n)(or to H~p_A(R~n)) in the ln λcritical case, from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,q)(R~n)(or to H~(p,q)_A(R~n)) with δ∈(0,(lnλ)/(ln b)], p ∈(1/(1+,δ),1] and q ∈(0, ∞], as well as the boundedness of some Calderon-Zygmund operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,∞)(R~n), where b := | det A|,λ_:= min{|λ| : λ∈σ(A)} and σ(A) denotes the set of all eigenvalues of A.     

Existence of solutions for a nonlinear elliptic problem of fourth order with weight

In this work we study the existence and regularity of solutions of the equation Δ _p ² u = λm|u| ^q?2 u with the boundary conditions of Navier in the case p ≠ q.     

Equiconvergence of the trigonometric Fourier series and the expansion in eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville operator with a distribution potential

We consider the Sturm-Liouville operator L = ?d ²/dx ² + q(x) with the Dirichlet boundary conditions in the space L ₂[0, π] under the assumption that the potential q(x) belongs to W ₂ ^?1 [0, π]. We study the problem of uniform equiconvergence on the interval [0, π] of the expansion of a function f(x) in the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions of the operator L and its Fourier sine series expansion. We obtain sufficient conditions on the potential under which this equiconvergence holds for any function f(x) of class L ₁. We also consider the case of potentials belonging to the scale of Sobolev spaces W ₂ ^?θ [0, π] with ½ < θ ≤ 1. We show that if the antiderivative u(x) of the potential belongs to some space W ₂ ^θ [0, π] with 0 < θ < 1/2, then, for any function in the space L ₂[0, π], the rate of equiconvergence can be estimated uniformly in a ball lying in the corresponding space and containing u(x). We also give an explicit estimate for the rate of equiconvergence.     

On the boundedness of generalized solutions of higher-order nonlinear elliptic equations with data from an Orlicz–Zygmund class

In the present paper, a 2mth-order quasilinear divergence equation is considered under the condition that its coefficients satisfy the Carathéodory condition and the standard conditions of growth and coercivity in the Sobolev space W^m,p(Ω), Ω ? Rⁿ, p > 1. It is proved that an arbitrary generalized (in the sense of distributions) solution u ∈ W₀^m,p (Ω) of this equation is bounded if m ≥ 2, n = mp, and the right-hand side of this equation belongs to the Orlicz–Zygmund space L(log L)^n?1(Ω).     

Estimates for the Torsion Function and Sobolev Constants

Let Ω be an open set in Euclidean space, and let u : Ω → ?^?+? be the expected lifetime of Brownian motion in Ω. It is shown that if u?∈?L ^p (Ω) for some p?∈?[1, ?∞?) then (i) u?∈?L ^q (Ω) for all q?∈?[p,?∞?], and (ii) \({trace}\left(e^{t\Delta_{\Omega}}\right)<\infty\) for all t?>?0, where ??Δ_Ω is the Dirichlet Laplacian acting in L ²(Ω). Pointwise bounds are obtained for u in terms of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction for Ω, assuming that the spectrum of ??Δ_Ω is discrete. It is shown that if Ω is open, bounded and connected in the plane and \(\partial\Omega\) has an interior wedge with opening angle α at vertex v then the first Dirichlet eigenfunction and u are comparable near v if and only if α?≥?π/2. Two sided estimates are obtained for the Sobolev constant

$ C_p(\Omega):= \inf\left\{\Vert \nabla u \Vert_2^2: u \in C_0^{\infty}(\Omega),\ \Vert u\Vert_p = 1\right\}, $

where 0?p?Ω satisfies a strong Hardy inequality, and the distance to the boundary function δ?∈?L ^2p/(2???p)(Ω).

     

An Extension of a Simply Inequality Between von Neumann–Jordan and James Constants in Banach Spaces

For a non-trivial Banach space X, let J(X), CNJ(X), C_(NJ)~(p)(X) respectively stand for the James constant, the von Neumann–Jordan constant and the generalized von Neumann–Jordan constant recently inroduced by Cui et al. In this paper, we discuss the relation between the James and the generalized von Neumann–Jordan constants, and establish an inequality between them: C_(NJ)~(p)(X) ≤J(X) with p ≥ 2, which covers the well-known inequality CNJ(X) ≤ J(X). We also introduce a new constant, from which we establish another inequality that extends a result of Alonso et al.     

Boundary values of differentiable functions defined on an arbitrary domain of a Carnot group

We study the boundary values of the functions of the Sobolev function spaces W _∞ ^l and the Nikol’ski? function spaces H _∞ ^l which are defined on an arbitrary domain of a Carnot group. We obtain some reversible characteristics of the traces of the spaces under consideration on the boundary of the domain of definition and sufficient conditions for extension of the functions of these spaces outside the domain of definition. In some cases these sufficient conditions are necessary.     

Seifert manifolds and (1, 1)-knots

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relations between Seifert manifolds and (1, 1)-knots. In particular, we prove that each orientable Seifert manifold with invariants

$\{ Oo,0| - 1;\underbrace {(p,q),...,(p,q)}_{n times},(l,l - 1)\} $

has the fundamental group cyclically presented by G _n ((x ₁ ^q ...x _n ^{q l} x _n ^?p ) and, moreover, it is the n-fold strongly-cyclic covering of the lens space L(|nlq ? p|, q) which is branched over the (1, 1)-knot K(q, q(nl ? 2), p ? 2q, p ? q) if p ≥ 2q and over the (1, 1)-knot K(p? q, 2q ? p, q(nl ? 2), p ? q) if p< 2q.

     

The Regularity Problems with Data in Hardy–Sobolev Spaces for Singular Schrödinger Equation in Lipschitz Domains

Let the nonnegative singular potential V belong to the reverse Hölder class \({\mathcal B}_n\) on \({\mathbb R}^n\), and let (n???1)/n?p?≤?2, we establish the solvability and derivative estimates for the solutions to the Neumann problem and the regularity problem of the Schrödinger equation ??Δu?+?Vu?=?0 in a connected Lipschitz domain Ω, with boundary data in the Hardy space \(H^p(\partial \Omega)\) and the modified Hardy–Sobolev space \(H_{1, V}^p(\partial \Omega)\) related to the potential V. To deal with the H ^p regularity problem, we construct a new characterization of the atomic decomposition for \(H_{1, V}^p(\partial \Omega)\) space. The invertibility of the boundary layer potentials on Hardy spaces and Hölder spaces are shown in this paper.
