Calculus I: The first derivative of pseudoisotopy theory

Let P be the (stable, smooth) pseudoisotopy space of the space X. For any map Y: YX of spaces, we identify the homotopy type of the fiber of P(f): P(f) P(f) in a stable range, roughly twice the connectivity of the map YX. We establish some language for discussing and manipulating such stable-range relative calculations for any homotopy functor. The theorem about P has a corollary about Waldhausen's A.

Optimality for set functions with values in ordered vector spaces

Let (X, , ) be a finite atomless measure space,L a convex subfamily of , andY andZ locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces which are ordered by the conesC andD, respectively. LetF:LY beC-convex andG:LZ beD-convex set functions. Consider the following optimization problem (P): minimizeF(), subject to L andG() _D . The paper generalizes the Moreau-Rockafellar theorem with set functions. By applying this theorem, a Kuhn-Tucker type optimality condition and a Fritz John type optimality condition for problem (P) are established. The duality theorem for problem (P) is also studied.This work was partially supported by National Science Council, Taipei, Taiwan.

New Results on Generalized $c$-Distance Without Continuity in Cone $b$-Metric Spaces over Banach Algebras

In this work, some new fixed point results for generalized Lipschitz mappings on generalized $c$-distance in cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras are obtained, not acquiring the condition that the underlying cone should be normal or the mappings should be continuous. Furthermore, the existence and the uniqueness of the fixed point are proven for such mappings. These results greatly improve and generalize several well-known comparable results in the literature. Moreover, some examples and an application are given to support our new results.     

Some Estimates for $θ$-Type Calderόn–Zygmund Operators and Linear Commutators on Certain Weighted Amalgam Spaces

In this paper, we first introduce some new kinds of weighted amalgam spaces. Then we discuss the strong type and weak type estimates for a class of Calderόn–Zygmund type operators $T_θ$ in these new weighted spaces. Furthermore, the strong type estimate and endpoint estimate of linear commutators $[b, T_θ]$ formed by $b$ and $T_θ$ are established. Also we study related problems about two-weight, weak type inequalities for $T_θ$ and $[b, T_θ]$ in the weighted amalgam spaces and give some results.     

Besov spaces and the multifractal hypothesis

Parisi and Frisch proposed some time ago an explanation for multiscaling of turbulent velocity structure functions in terms of a multifractal hypothesis, i.e., they conjecture that the velocity field has local Hölder exponents in a range [h _min,h _max], with exponents <h occurring on a setS(h) with a fractal dimensionD(h). Heuristic reasoning led them to an expression for the scaling exponentz _p ofpth order as the Legendre transform of the codimensiond-D(h). We show here that a part of the multifractal hypothesis is correct under even weaker assumptions: namely, if the velocity field hasL ^p -mean Hölder indexs, i.e., if it lies in the Besov spaceB _p ^s, , then local Hölder regularity is satisfied. Ifs<d/p, then the hypothesis is true in a generalized sense of Hölder space with negative exponents and we discuss the proper definition of local Hölder classes of negative index. Finally, if a certain box-counting dimension exists, then the Legendre transform of its codimension gives the scaling exponentz _p , and, more generally, the maximal Besov index of order,p, ass _p =z _p /p. Our method of proof is derived from a recent paper of S. Jaffard using compactly-supported, orthonormal wavelet bases and gives an extension of his results. We discuss implications of the theorems for ensemble-average scaling and fluid turbulence.     

Weakly compactly generated Banach spaces and the strong law of large numbers

IfB is a weakly compactly generated Banach space andf: (S,S, ) satisfies the strong law of large numbers, thenf=f ₁+f ₂, wheref ₁ is Bochner -integrable andf ₂ is Pettis -integrable with Pettis norm 0. The decomposition is unique.     

Cramér theorem on symmetric spaces of noncompact type

We prove the Cramér theorem forK-invariant Gaussian measures on irreducible symmetric spacesX=G/K withG semisimple noncompact. To do this we use a kind of Abel transform ofK-invariant measures onX.This research is supported by KBN Grant.     

Characterization of measures by potentials

Let μ be a measure in a Banach spaceE, f be an even function onR. We consider the potentialg(a)=f _E f(‖x?a‖)dμ(x). The question is as follows: For whichf does the potentialg determine μ uniquely? In this article we give answers in the cases whereE=l _∞ ⁿ and wheref(t)=|t| ^p andE is a finite dimensional Banach space with symmetric analytic norm. Calculating the Fourier transform of the functionf(‖x‖ _∞) we give a new proof of the J. Misiewicz's result that the functionf(‖x‖ _∞) is positive definite only iff is a constant function.     

Almost linearity of -bi-Lipschitz maps between real Banach spaces
