2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33 (main), 44A40, 44A35, 33E30, 45J05, 45D05In the paper, the machinery of the Mellin integral transform is applied to deduce and prove some operational relations for a general operator of the Erdélyi-Kober type. This integro-differential operator is a composition of a number of left-hand sided and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober derivatives and integrals. It is referred to in the paper as a mixed operator of the Erdélyi-Kober type. For special values of...

The abstract Perron-Stieltjes integral in the Kurzweil-Henstock sense given via integral sums is used for defining convolutions of Banach space valued functions. Basic facts concerning integration are preseted, the properties of Stieltjes convolutions are studied and applied to obtain resolvents for renewal type Stieltjes convolution equations.

We present a version of Opial's inequality for time scales and point out some of its applications to so-called dynamic equations. Such dynamic equations contain both differential equations and difference equations as special cases. Various extensions of our inequality are offered as well.

We prove some new Opial type inequalities on time scales and employ them to prove several results related to the spacing between consecutive zeros of a solution or between a zero of a solution and a zero of its derivative for second order dynamic equations on time scales. We also apply these inequalities to obtain a lower bound for the smallest eigenvalue of a Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem on time scales. The results contain as special cases some results obtained for second order differential...

We find the norm of the Hardy operator minus the identity acting on the cone of radially decreasing functions on minimal Lorentz spaces (restricted type estimates).

In this paper, by using the classical control theory, the optimal control problem for fractional order cooperative system governed by Schrödinger operator is considered. The fractional time derivative is considered in a Riemann-Liouville and Caputo senses. The maximum principle for this system is discussed. We first study by using the Lax-Milgram Theorem, the existence and the uniqueness of the solution of the fractional differential system in a Hilbert space. Then we show that the considered optimal...

We establish the embedding of the critical Sobolev-Lorentz-Zygmund space $H_{p,q,\lambda ₁,...,\lambda ₘ}^{n/p}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ into the generalized Morrey space ${ℳ}_{\Phi ,r}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ with an optimal Young function Φ. As an application, we obtain the almost Lipschitz continuity for functions in $H_{p,q,\lambda ₁,...,\lambda ₘ}^{n/p+1}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. O’Neil’s inequality and its reverse play an essential role in the proofs of the main theorems.

Let $A_{\alpha }f\left(x\right)={\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|}^{-\alpha /n}{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ be the n-dimensional fractional Hardy operator, where 0 < α ≤ n. It is well-known that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from $L^p$ to $L^{p_{\alpha }}$ with $p_{\alpha }=np/(\alpha p-np+n)$ when n(1-1/p) < α ≤ n. We improve this result within the framework of Banach function spaces, for instance, weighted Lebesgue spaces and Lorentz spaces. We in fact find a ’source’ space $S_{\alpha ,Y}$, which is strictly larger than X, and a ’target’ space $T_Y$, which is strictly smaller than Y, under the assumption that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from X into Y and the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator...

There are many relations involving the geometric means $G_n\left(x\right)$ and power means ${\left[A_n\left(x^{\gamma }\right)\right]}^{1/\gamma }$ for positive $n$-vectors $x$. Some of them assume the form of inequalities involving parameters. There then is the question of sharpness, which is quite difficult in general. In this paper we are concerned with inequalities of the form $(1-\lambda )G_n^{\gamma }\left(x\right)+\lambda A_n^{\gamma }\left(x\right)\ge A_n\left(x^{\gamma }\right)$ and $(1-\lambda )G_n^{\gamma }\left(x\right)+\lambda A_n^{\gamma }\left(x\right)\le A_n\left(x^{\gamma }\right)$ with parameters $\lambda \in ℝ$ and $\gamma \in (0,1).$ We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the former inequality, and a sharp condition for the latter. Several applications of our results are also demonstrated....

We provide a set of optimal estimates of the form (1-μ)/𝓐(x,y) + μ/ℳ (x,y) ≤ 1/ℬ(x,y) ≤ (1-ν)/𝓐(x,y) + ν/ℳ (x,y) where 𝓐 < ℬ are two of the Seiffert means L,P,M,T, while ℳ is another mean greater than the two.

We prove some quantitatively sharp estimates concerning the Δ₂ and ∇₂ conditions for functions which generalize known ones. The sharp forms arise in the connection between Orlicz space theory and the theory of elliptic partial differential equations.

We prove basic properties of Orlicz-Morrey spaces and give a necessary and sufficient condition for boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator M from one Orlicz-Morrey space to another. For example, if f ∈ L(log L)(ℝⁿ), then Mf is in a (generalized) Morrey space (Example 5.1). As an application of boundedness of M, we prove the boundedness of generalized fractional integral operators, improving earlier results of the author.
