We consider real valued functions $f$ defined on a subinterval $I$ of the positive real axis and prove that if all of $f$’s quantum differences are nonnegative then $f$ has a power series representation on $I$. Further, if the quantum differences have fixed sign on $I$ then $f$ is analytic on $I$.

Let $E$ be a self-similar set with similarities ratio $r_j(0\le j\le m-1)$ and Hausdorff dimension $s$, let $\overrightarrow{p}(p_0,p_1)...p_{m-1}$ be a probability vector. The Besicovitch-type subset of $E$ is defined as$$E\left(\overrightarrow{p}\right)=\left\{x\in E:\underset{n\to \infty }{lim}\frac{1}{n}\sum _{k=1}^n{\chi }_j\left(x_k\right)=p_j,0\le j\le m-1\right\},$$where ${\chi }_j$ is the indicator function of the set $\left\{j\right\}$. Let $\alpha ={dim}_H\left(E\left(\overrightarrow{p}\right)\right)={dim}_P\left(E\left(\overrightarrow{p}\right)\right)=\frac{{\sum }_{j=0}^{m-1}{p}_{j}log{p}_j}{{\sum }_{j=0}^{m-1}{p}_{i}log{r}_j}$ and $g$ be a gauge function, then we prove in this paper:(i) If $\overrightarrow{p}=(r_0^s,r_1^s,\cdots ,r_{m-1}^s)$, then$${\mathscr{H}}^s\left(E\left(\overrightarrow{p}\right)\right)={\mathscr{H}}^s\left(E\right),{𝒫}^s\left(E\left(\overrightarrow{p}\right)\right)={𝒫}^s\left(E\right),$$moreover both of ${\mathscr{H}}^s\left(E\right)$ and ${𝒫}^s\left(E\right)$ are finite positive;(ii) If $\overrightarrow{p}$ is a positive probability vector other than $(r_0^s,r_1^s,\cdots ,r_{m-1}^s)$, then the gauge functions can be partitioned as follows$${\mathscr{H}}^g\left(E\left(\overrightarrow{p}\right)\right)=+\infty \iff \underset{t\to 0}{\overline{\lim }}\frac{logg\left(t\right)}{logt}\le \alpha ;{\mathscr{H}}^g\left(E\left(\overrightarrow{p}\right)\right)=0⟺\underset{t\to 0}{\overline{\lim }}\frac{logg\left(t\right)}{logt}\>\alpha ,$$$$...$$

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26D10.The sharp constant is obtained for the Hardy-Stein-Weiss inequality for fractional Riesz potential operator in the space L^p(R^n, ρ) with the power weight ρ = |x|^β. As a corollary, the sharp constant is found for a similar weighted inequality for fractional powers of the Beltrami-Laplace operator on the unit sphere.

We consider complex-valued functions f ∈ L¹(ℝ), and prove sufficient conditions in terms of f to ensure that the Fourier transform f̂ belongs to one of the Lipschitz classes Lip(α) and lip(α) for some 0 < α ≤ 1, or to one of the Zygmund classes zyg(α) and zyg(α) for some 0 < α ≤ 2. These sufficient conditions are best possible in the sense that they are also necessary in the case of real-valued functions f for which either xf(x) ≥ 0 or f(x) ≥ 0 almost everywhere.

In this paper we study simultaneous approximation of $n$ real-valued functions in $L_p\left[a,b\right]$ and give a generalization of some related results.

We show that the No Trumps combinatorial property (NT), introduced for the study of the foundations of regular variation by the authors, permits a natural extension of the definition of the class of functions of regular variation, including the measurable/Baire functions to which the classical theory restricts itself. The "generic functions of regular variation" defined here characterize the maximal class of functions to which the three fundamental theorems of regular variation (Uniform Convergence,...
