Bochner representable operators on Banach function spaces

Let \((E,\Vert \cdot \Vert _E)\) be a Banach function space, \(E'\) the Köthe dual of E and \((X,\Vert \cdot \Vert _X)\) be a Banach space. It is shown that every Bochner representable operator \(T:E\rightarrow X\) maps relatively \(\sigma (E,E')\)-compact sets in E onto relatively norm compact sets in X. If, in particular, the associated norm \(\Vert \cdot \Vert _{E'}\) on \(E'\) is order continuous, then every Bochner representable operator \(T:E\rightarrow X\) is \((\gamma _E,\Vert \cdot \Vert _X)\)-compact, where \(\gamma _E\) stands for the natural mixed topology on E. Applications to Bochner representable operators on Orlicz spaces are given.     

Unions and Intersections of Families of Lp-Spaces

Let L^Ψ and E^Ψ be the ORLICZ space and the space of finite elements respectively, on a measure space (Ω, Σ, μ), and let T ? (0, ∞). It is proved that if inf {p: p ? T} ? T or sup {p: p ? T} ? T and μ is an infinite atomless measure, then there is no ORLICZ function Ψ such that: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ L^\varphi = Lin\mathop { \cup L^p }\limits_{p\varepsilon T} $\end{document} or \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ E^\varphi = Lin\mathop { \cup L^p }\limits_{p\varepsilon T} $\end{document} and moreover, there is no ORLICZ function Ψ such that: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ L^\varphi = Lin\mathop { \cap L^p }\limits_{p\varepsilon T} $\end{document} or \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ E^\varphi = Lin\mathop { \cap L^p }\limits_{p\varepsilon T} $\end{document}.     

Composition operators from large weighted Hardy spaces into the Dirichlet space

Given a large weighted Hardy space we show there exists a composition operatorC with that maps from that space into the unweighted Dirichlet space and lies in every Schatten p-class for 0<p<. This is in contrast to the situation in which the image space is a smaller weighted Dirichlet space. It is known that in that case it is not possible to find such a composition operator that is bounded.This research was supported in part by a summer stipend from Bellarmine College.     

A transformation of certain infinite series based on the non-local derangement identity

The aim of the paper is a new transformation of certain infinite series based on an identity from Sylvester also known as the non-local derangement identity. Surprisingly, the result found can be applied to evaluate certain types of the generalized hypergeometric function _p F _q (z) or infinite series involving the combination of hyperbolic functions, irrational functions and polynomials like

Chatter in a transverse grinding process

In transverse grinding, the wheel moves along the workpiece, which induces unique grinding dynamics. To understand these dynamic phenomena, specifically the grinding chatter, a new dynamical model of the process is proposed, in which the wheel position is assumed to be quasi-static since the transverse wheel velocity is small. From the stability and bifurcation analyses of the chatter vibration, it appears that the dynamics of the process is governed by the quasi-static interactions. Moreover, the obtained results also show that the wheel and workpiece chatters are quite different, having continuous and intermittent characters respectively.     

Analysis of nanopore arrangement and structural features of anodic alumina layers formed by two-step anodizing in oxalic acid using the dedicated executable software

Anodic porous alumina layers were fabricated by a two-step self-organized anodization in 0.3 M oxalic acid under various anodizing potentials ranging from 30 to 60 V at two different temperatures (10 and 17 ^°C). The effect of anodizing conditions on structural features and pore arrangement of AAO was investigated in detail by using the dedicated executable publication combined with ImageJ software. With increasing anodizing potential, a linear increase of the average pore diameter, interpore distance, wall thickness and barrier layer thickness, as well as a decrease of the pore density, were observed. In addition, the higher pore diameter and porosity values were obtained for samples anodized at the elevated temperature, independently of the anodizing potential. A degree of pore order was investigated on the basis of Delaunay triangulations (defect maps) and calculation of pair distribution or angle distribution functions (PDF or ADF), respectively. All methods confirmed that in order to obtain nanoporous alumina with the best, hexagonal pore arrangement, the potential of 40 V should be applied during anodization. It was confirmed that the dedicated executable publication can be used to a fast and complex analysis of nanopore arrangement and structural features of nanoporous oxide layers.     

Balancing domain decomposition for problems with large jumps in coefficients

The Balancing Domain Decomposition algorithm uses in each iteration solution of local problems on the subdomains coupled with a coarse problem that is used to propagate the error globally and to guarantee that the possibly singular local problems are consistent. The abstract theory introduced recently by the first-named author is used to develop condition number bounds for conforming linear elements in two and three dimensions. The bounds are independent of arbitrary coefficient jumps between subdomains and of the number of subdomains, and grow only as the squared logarithm of the mesh size . Computational experiments for two- and three-dimensional problems confirm the theory.
