In this Note we give $L^p$ estimates $\left(1<p<+\mathrm{\infty }\right)$ for the highest order derivatives of an elliptic system in non-divergence form with coefficients in VMO.

Let m: ℝ → ℝ be a function of bounded variation. We prove the $L^p\left(ℝ\right)$-boundedness, 1 < p < ∞, of the one-dimensional integral operator defined by $T_{m}f\left(x\right)=p.v.\int k(x-y)m(x+y)f\left(y\right)dy$ where $k\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}{2}^j{\phi }_j\left(2^{j}x\right)$ for a family of functions ${{\phi }_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$ satisfying conditions (1.1)-(1.3) given below.

We prove a strong comparison principle for the solution of the Levi equation $L\left(u\right)=\sum {}_{i=1}{}^n\left(\right(1+u{}_t{}^2\left)\right(u{}_{x_i{x}_i}+u{}_{y_i{y}_i})+(u{}_{x_i}{}^2+u{}_{y_i}{}^2)u{}_{tt}+2(u{}_{y_i}-u{}_{x_i}u{}_t)u{}_{x_{i}t}-2(u{}_{x_i}+u{}_{y_i}u{}_t)u{}_{y_{i}t}+k(x,y,t\left)\right(1+\left|Du\right|{}^2){}^{3/2}=0$, applying Bony Propagation Principle.

Given an embeddable $CR$ manifold $M$ and a non-characteristic hypersurface $S\subset M$ we present a necessary condition for the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator ${\overline{\partial }}_M$ on $M$ to be locally solvable near a point $x_0\in S$ determined by $S$.

It is proved that if ${\phi }_n$ is a complete orthonormal system of bounded functions and ɛ>0, then there exists a measurable set E ⊂ [0,1] with measure |E|>1-ɛ, a measurable function μ(x), 0 < μ(x) ≤ 1, μ(x) ≡ 1 on E, and a series of the form ${\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)$, where $c_k\in l_q$ for all q>2, with the following properties: 1. For any p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]=f:{ʃ}_0^1{\left|f\left(x\right)\right|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx<\infty$ there are numbers ${\varepsilon }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\varepsilon }_k$ = 1 or 0, such that $li{m}_{n\to \infty }{ʃ}_0^1{|{\sum }_{k=1}^n{\varepsilon }_k{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)-f\left(x\right)|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx=0.$ 2. For every p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]$ there are a function $g\in L^1[0,1]$ with g(x) = f(x) on E and numbers ${\delta }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\delta }_k=1$ or 0,...

We consider operators of the form $\left(\Omega f\right)\left(y\right)={ʃ}_{-\infty }^{\infty }\Omega (y,u)f\left(u\right)du$ with Ω(y,u) = K(y,u)h(y-u), where K is a Calderón-Zygmund kernel and $h\in L^{\infty }$ (see (0.1) and (0.2)). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for such operators to map the Besov space ${Ḃ}_1^{0,1}$ (= B) into itself. In particular, all operators with $h\left(y\right)=e^{{i\left|y\right|}^a}$, a > 0, a ≠ 1, map B into itself.

We prove that for every closed locally convex subspace E of $L_0$ and for any continuous linear operator T from $L_0$ to $L_0/E$ there is a continuous linear operator S from $L_0$ to $L_0$ such that T = QS where Q is the quotient map from $L_0$ to $L_0/E$.
