New Besov-type spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces including Q spaces

Let ${s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}}Let s, t ? \mathbbR{s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}} and q ? (0,￥]{q\in(0,\infty]} . We introduce Besov-type spaces [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} for p ? (0, ￥]{p\in(0,\,\infty]} and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) for p ? (0, ￥){{{{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}\,{\rm for}\, p\in(0,\,\infty)} , which unify and generalize the Besov spaces, Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Q spaces. We then establish the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of these new spaces in the sense of Frazier and Jawerth. Using the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\, {\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} , we obtain their embedding and lifting properties; moreover, for appropriate τ, we also establish the smooth atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\,{\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} . For s ? \mathbbR{s\in\mathbb{R}} , p ? (1, ￥), q ? [1, ￥){p\in(1,\,\infty), q\in[1,\,\infty)} and t ? [0, \frac1(max{p, q})￠]{\tau\in[0,\,\frac{1}{(\max\{p,\,q\})'}]} , via the Hausdorff capacity, we introduce certain Hardy–Hausdorff spaces B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} and prove that the dual space of B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} is just [(B)\dot]^-s, t_p￠, q￠(\mathbbRⁿ){\dot{B}^{-s,\,\tau}_{p',\,q'}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} , where t′ denotes the conjugate index of t ? (1,￥){t\in (1,\infty)} .     

Density properties of Hankel translations of positive definite functions

In this paper we study density properties of the Hankel translations of certain positive definite (in the Hankel sense) functions on (0,￥)(0,\infty ). The density is understood in a Fréchet space of smooth functions on (0,￥)(0,\infty ) whose topology is defined by seminorms involving the Bessel operator x^-2m-1Dx^2m+1Dx^{-2\mu -1}Dx^{2\mu +1}D.     

A Characteristic Property of Injective Holomorphic Germs

Let X ₀ be the germ at 0 of a complex variety and let f: X₀? \Bbb Cⁿ₀f:\ X_0\rightarrow {\Bbb C}^n_0 be a holomorphic germ. We say that f is pseudoimmersive if for any g: \Bbb R₀? X₀g:\ {\Bbb R}_0\rightarrow X_0 such that f °g ? C^￥ f \circ g \in C^{\infty} , we have g ? C^￥g\in C^{\infty} . We prove that f is pseudoimmersive if and only if it is injective. Some results about the real case are also considered.     

Degenerate elliptic operators in one dimension

Let H be the symmetric second-order differential operator on L ₂(R) with domain ${C_c^\infty({\bf R})}Let H be the symmetric second-order differential operator on L ₂(R) with domain C_c^￥(R){C_c^\infty({\bf R})} and action Hj = -(c j^￠)^￠{H\varphi=-(c\,\varphi^{\prime})^{\prime}} where c ? W^1,2_loc(R){ c\in W^{1,2}_{\rm loc}({\bf R})} is a real function that is strictly positive on R\{0}{{\bf R}\backslash\{0\}} but with c(0) = 0. We give a complete characterization of the self-adjoint extensions and the submarkovian extensions of H. In particular if n = n₊ún_-{\nu=\nu_+\vee\nu_-} where n_±(x)=±ò^±1_±x c^-1{\nu_\pm(x)=\pm\int^{\pm 1}_{\pm x} c^{-1}} then H has a unique self-adjoint extension if and only if n ? L₂(0,1){\nu\not\in L_2(0,1)} and a unique submarkovian extension if and only if n ? L_￥(0,1){\nu\not\in L_\infty(0,1)}. In both cases, the corresponding semigroup leaves L ₂(0,∞) and L ₂(−∞,0) invariant. In addition, we prove that for a general non-negative c ? W^1,￥_loc(R){ c\in W^{1,\infty}_{\rm loc}({\bf R})} the corresponding operator H has a unique submarkovian extension.     

The Problem of the Pointwise Fourier Inversion for Piecewise Smooth Functions of Several Variables

We study the pointwise convergence problem for the inverse Fourier transform of piecewise smooth functions, i.e., whether S_rD f (\bx) ? f (\bx)S_{\rho D} f (\bx) \to f (\bx) as r? ￥\rho \to \infty . r? ￥\rho \to \infty . Here for \bx,\bxi ? \Rn\bx,\bxi \in \Rn S_rDf(\bmx)=\dsf1(2p)^n/2\intli_rD [^(f)](\bxi) e^{\dst iá\bmx,\bxi?} d\bxi .

A New Regularity Criterion in Terms of the Direction of the Velocity for the MHD Equations

In this paper we obtain a new regularity criterion for weak solutions to the 3D MHD equations. It is proved that if div( \fracu|u|) \mathrm{div}( \frac{u}{|u|}) belongs to L^\frac21-r( 0,T;[(X)\dot]_r( \mathbbR³) ) L^{\frac{2}{1-r}}( 0,T;\dot{X}_{r}( \mathbb{R}^{3}) ) with 0≤r≤1, then the weak solution actually is regular and unique.     

Transcendence of the values of certain series with Hadamard's gaps

Transcendence of the number ?_k=0^￥ a^r_k \sum_{k=0}^\infty \alpha^{r_k} , where a \alpha is an algebraic number with 0 < | a | \mid\alpha\mid > 1 and {r_k}_k\geqq0 \{r_k\}_{k\geqq0} is a sequence of positive integers such that lim_k?￥ r_k+1/r_k = d ? \mathbbN \{1} \lim_{k\to\infty}\, r_{k+1}/r_k = d \in \mathbb{N}\, \backslash \{1\} , is proved by Mahler's method. This result implies the transcendence of the number ?_k=0^￥ a^kdk \sum_{k=0}^\infty \alpha^{kd^k} .

Scand. 5:77–92, 1957), Sturm (Lecture Notes in Mathematics, pp. 275–280, Springer, Berlin/Heidelberg, 1987), Eichhorn and Ono (Proceedings for a Conference in Honor of Heini Halberstam, pp. 309–321, 1996).     

Moser's second one-dimensional inequality for a class of integral operators

Suppose that $1 < p < \infty $1 < p < \infty , q=p/(p-1)q=p/(p-1), and for non-negative f ? L^p(-￥ ,￥)f\in L^p(-\infty\! ,\infty ) and any real x we let F(x)-F(0)=ò₀^xf(t) dtF(x)-F(0)=\int _0^xf(t)\ dt; suppose in addition that ò_-￥^￥ F(t)exp(-|t|) dt=0\int\limits _{-\infty }^\infty F(t)\exp (-|t|)\ dt=0. Moser's second one-dimensional inequality states that there is a constant C_pC_p, such that ò_-￥^￥ exp[a |F(x)|^q-|x|]  dx ￡ C_p\int\limits _{-\infty }^\infty \exp [a |F(x)|^q-|x|] \ dx\le C_p for each f with ||f||_p ￡ 1||f||_p\le 1 and every a ￡ 1a\le 1. Moreover the value a = 1 is sharp. We replace the operation connecting f with F by a more general integral operation; specifically we consider non-negative kernels K(t,x) with the property that xK(t,x) is homogeneous of degree 0 in t, x. We state an analogue of the inequality above for this situation, discuss some applications and consider the sharpness of the constant which replaces a.     

Canonical State/Signal Shift Realizations of Passive Continuous Time Behaviors

This work is devoted to the construction of canonical passive and conservative state/signal shift realizations of arbitrary passive continuous time behaviors. By definition, a passive future continuous time behavior is a maximal nonnegative right-shift invariant subspace of the Kreĭn space L²([0,￥);W){L^2([0,\infty);\mathcal W)}, where W{\mathcal W} is a Kreĭn space, and the inner product in L²([0,￥);W){L^2([0,\infty);\mathcal W)} is the one inherited from W{\mathcal W}. A state/signal system S = (V;X,W){\Sigma=(V;\mathcal X,\mathcal W)}, with a Hilbert state space X{\mathcal X} and a Kreĭn signal space W{\mathcal W}, is a dynamical system whose classical trajectories (x, w) on [0, ∞) satisfy x ? C¹([0,￥);X){x\in C^1([0,\infty);\mathcal X)}, w ? C([0,￥);W){w \in C([0,\infty);\mathcal W)}, and

Analytic Continuation of Dirichlet Series with Almost Periodic Coefficients

We consider Dirichlet series z_g,a(s)=?_n=1^￥ g(na) e^{-l_n s}{\zeta_{g,\alpha}(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty g(n\alpha) e^{-\lambda_n s}} for fixed irrational α and periodic functions g. We demonstrate that for Diophantine α and smooth g, the line Re(s) = 0 is a natural boundary in the Taylor series case λ _n  = n, so that the unit circle is the maximal domain of holomorphy for the almost periodic Taylor series ?_n=1^￥ g(na) zⁿ{\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} g(n\alpha) z^n}. We prove that a Dirichlet series z_g,a(s) = ?_n=1^￥ g(n a)/n^s{\zeta_{g,\alpha}(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} g(n \alpha)/n^s} has an abscissa of convergence σ ₀ = 0 if g is odd and real analytic and α is Diophantine. We show that if g is odd and has bounded variation and α is of bounded Diophantine type r, the abscissa of convergence σ ₀ satisfies σ ₀ ≤ 1 − 1/r. Using a polylogarithm expansion, we prove that if g is odd and real analytic and α is Diophantine, then the Dirichlet series ζ _g,α (s) has an analytic continuation to the entire complex plane.     

Regularizing and decay rate estimates for solutions to the Cauchy problem of the Debye–Hückel system

In this paper we establish some regularizing and decay rate estimates for mild solutions of the Debye–Hückel system. We prove that if the initial data belong to the critical Lebesgue space L^\fracn2(\mathbbRⁿ){L^{\frac{n}{2}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} , then the L ^q -norm ( \fracn2 ￡ q ￡ ￥{\frac{n}{2} \leq q \leq \infty}) of the βth order spatial derivative of mild solutions are majorized by K₁(K₂|b|)^|b|t^{-\frac|b|2-1+\fracn2q}{K_{1}(K_{2}|\beta|)^{|\beta|}t^{-\frac{|\beta|}{2}-1+\frac{n}{2q}}} for some constants K ₁ and K ₂. These estimates particularly imply that mild solutions are analytic in the space variable, and provide decay estimates in the time variable for higher-order derivatives of mild solutions. We also prove that similar estimates also hold for mild solutions whose initial data belong to the critical homogeneous Besov space [(B)\dot]^-2+\fracnp_p,￥(\mathbbRⁿ){\dot{B}^{-2+\frac{n}{p}}_{p,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n)} ( \fracn2 < p < n{\frac{n}{2} < p < n}).     

Essential norms of some singular integral operators

Let a\alpha and b\beta be bounded measurable functions on the unit circle T. The singular integral operator S_a, bS_{\alpha ,\,\beta } is defined by S_a, b f = aPf + bQf(f ? L² (T))S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } f = \alpha Pf + \beta Qf(f \in L^2 (T)) where P is an analytic projection and Q is a co-analytic projection. In the previous paper, the norm of S_a, bS_{\alpha ,\,\beta } was calculated in general, using a,b\alpha ,\beta and a[`(b)] + H<sup>￥</sup>\alpha \bar {\beta } + H^\infty where H<sup>￥</sup>H^\infty is a Hardy space in L<sup>￥</sup> (T).L^\infty (T). In this paper, the essential norm ||S<sub>a, b</sub> ||<sub>e</sub>\Vert S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } \Vert _e of S<sub>a, b</sub>S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } is calculated in general, using a[`(b)] + H^￥ + C\alpha \bar {\beta } + H^\infty + C where C is a set of all continuous functions on T. Hence if a[`(b)]\alpha \bar {\beta } is in H^￥ + CH^\infty + C then ||S_a, b ||_e = max(||a||_￥ , ||b||_￥ ).\Vert S_{\alpha ,\,\beta } \Vert _e = \max (\Vert \alpha \Vert _\infty , \Vert \beta \Vert _\infty ). This gives a known result when a, b\alpha , \beta are in C.     

Hook Lengths and 3-Cores

Recently, the first author generalized a formula of Nekrasov and Okounkov which gives a combinatorial formula, in terms of hook lengths of partitions, for the coefficients of certain power series. In the course of this investigation, he conjectured that a(n) = 0 if and only if b(n) = 0, where integers a(n) and b(n) are defined by

On the mean square of Lerch zeta-functions

Using the approximate functional equation for L(l,a, s) = ?_n=0^￥ [(e(ln))/((n+a)^s)] L(\lambda,\alpha, s) = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} {e(\lambda n)\over (n+\alpha)^s} , we prove for fixed parameters $ 0<\lambda,\alpha\leq 1 $ 0<\lambda,\alpha\leq 1 asymptotic formulas for the mean square of L(l,a,s) L(\lambda,\alpha,s) inside the critical strip. This improves earlier results of D. Klusch and of A. Laurin)ikas.     

Compact Operators that Commute with a Contraction

Let T be a C₀–contraction on a separable Hilbert space. We assume that I_H − T*T is compact. For a function f holomorphic in the unit disk \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}} and continuous on [`(\mathbbD)]\overline{{\mathbb{D}}}, we show that f(T) is compact if and only if f vanishes on s(T)?\mathbbT\sigma(T)\cap{\mathbb{T}}, where σ(T) is the spectrum of T and \mathbbT{\mathbb{T}} the unit circle. If f is just a bounded holomorphic function on \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}}, we prove that f(T) is compact if and only if lim_{n? ￥}||Tⁿf(T)|| = 0\lim\limits_{n\rightarrow \infty}\|T^{n}f(T)\| = 0.     

A bifurcation problem governed by the boundary condition I

We deal with positive solutions of Δu = a(x)u ^p in a bounded smooth domain subject to the boundary condition ∂u/∂v = λu, λ a parameter, p > 1. We prove that this problem has a unique positive solution if and only if 0 < λ < σ₁ where, roughly speaking, σ₁ is finite if and only if |∂Ω ∩ {a = 0}| > 0 and coincides with the first eigenvalue of an associated eigenvalue problem. Moreover, we find the limit profile of the solution as λ → σ₁. Supported by DGES and FEDER under grant BFM2001-3894 (J. García-Melián and J. Sabina) and ANPCyT PICT No. 03-05009 (J. D. Rossi). J.D.

We prove that every distribution solution , of the considered form, satisfies the following universal (and sharp) L -bound:
