Contractivity results in ordered spaces. Applications to relative operator bounds and projections with norm one

This paper provides various “contractivity” results for linear operators of the form where C are positive contractions on real ordered Banach spaces X . If A generates a positive contraction semigroup in Lebesgue spaces , we show (M. Pierre's result) that is a “contraction on the positive cone ”, i.e. for all provided that .  We show also that this result is not true for 1 ⩽ . We give an extension of M. Pierre's result to general ordered Banach spaces X under a suitable uniform monotony assumption on the duality map on the positive cone . We deduce from this result that, in such spaces, is a contraction on for any positive projection C with norm 1. We give also a direct proof (by E. Ricard) of this last result if additionally the norm is smooth on the positive cone. For any positive contraction C on base‐norm spaces X (e.g. in real spaces or in preduals of hermitian part of von Neumann algebras), we show that for all where N is the canonical half‐norm in X . For any positive contraction C on order‐unit spaces X (e.g. on the hermitian part of a algebra), we show that is a contraction on . Applications to relative operator bounds, ergodic projections and conditional expectations are given.     

Universal mappings for certain classes of operators and polynomials between Banach spaces

A well‐known result of J. Lindenstrauss and A. Pełczyński (1968) gives the existence of a universal non‐weakly compact operator between Banach spaces. We show the existence of universal non‐Rosenthal, non‐limited, and non‐Grothendieck operators. We also prove that there does not exist a universal non‐Dunford–Pettis operator, but there is a universal class of non‐Dunford–Pettis operators. Moreover, we show that, for several classes of polynomials between Banach spaces, including the non‐weakly compact polynomials, there does not exist a universal polynomial.     

Optimal control problem in a domain with branched structure and homogenization

We consider a linear parabolic problem in a thick junction domain which is the union of a fixed domain and a collection of periodic branched trees of height of order 1 and small width connected on a part of the boundary. We consider a three‐branched structure, but the analysis can be extended to n‐branched structures. We use unfolding operator to study the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the problem. In the limit problem, we get a multi‐sheeted function in which each sheet is the limit of restriction of the solution to various branches of the domain. Homogenization of an optimal control problem posed on the above setting is also investigated. One of the novelty of the paper is the characterization of the optimal control via the appropriately defined unfolding operators. Finally, we obtain the limit of the optimal control problem.

A Liouville theorem for weighted p−Laplace operator on smooth metric measure spaces

We prove that on a smooth metric measure space with m ?Bakry–Émery curvature bounded from below by ?(m ? 1)K for some constant K ≥0 (i.e., Ric_{f ,m} ≥?(m ? 1)K ), the following degenerate elliptic equation (0.1) has no nonconstant positive solution when p > 1 and constant λ _{f ,p} satisfies Our approach is based on the local Sobolev inequality and the Moser's iterative technique and is different from Cheng‐Yau's method, which was used by Wang‐Zhu in 2012 to derive a same Liouville theorem when 1 < p ≤2, Ric_{f ,m} ≥?(m ? 1)K and the sectional curvature is bounded from below.

A fast discontinuous finite element discretization for the space‐time fractional diffusion‐wave equation

In this article, we study fast discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods to solve a space‐time fractional diffusion‐wave equation. We introduce a piecewise‐constant discontinuous finite element method for solving this problem and derive optimal error estimates. Importantly, a fast solution technique to accelerate Toeplitz matrix‐vector multiplications which arise from discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization is developed. This fast solution technique is based on fast Fourier transform and it depends on the special structure of coefficient matrices. In each temporal step, it helps to reduce the computational work from required by the traditional methods to log , where is the size of the coefficient matrices (number of spatial grid points). Moreover, the applicability and accuracy of the method are verified by numerical experiments including both continuous and discontinuous examples to support our theoretical analysis.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
