We give a method for constructing functions $\phi$ and $\psi$ for which $H(x,y)=\phi \left(x\right)-\psi \left(y\right)$ has a specified subharmonic minorant $h(x,y)$. By a theorem of B. Cole, this procedure establishes integral mean inequalities for conjugate functions. We apply this method to deduce sharp inequalities for conjugates of functions in the class $L{log}^{\alpha }L$, for $-1\le \alpha \<\infty$. In particular, the case $\alpha =1$ yields an improvement of Pichorides’ form of Zygmund’s classical inequality for the conjugates of functions in $LlogL$. We also apply the method to produce a new proof of the...

Sharp $L^p-L^q$ estimates are obtained for averaging operators associated to hypersurfaces in $R^n$ given as graphs of homogeneous functions. An application to the regularity of an initial value problem is given.

We prove sharp weighted inequalities of the form$${\int }_{{\mathbf{R}}^n}|f\left(x\right){|}^{p}v\left(x\right)dx\le C{\int }_{{\mathbf{R}}^n}|q\left(D\right)\left(f\right)\left(x\right){|}^{p}N\left(v\right)\left(x\right)dx$$where $q\left(D\right)$ is a differential operator and $N$ is a combination of maximal type operator related to $q\left(D\right)$ and to $p$.

For any locally integrable f on ℝⁿ, we consider the operators S and T which average f over balls of radius |x| and center 0 and x, respectively: $Sf\left(x\right)=1/\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$, $Tf\left(x\right)=1/\left|B\right(x,\left|x\right|\left)\right|{\int }_{B(x,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ for x ∈ ℝⁿ. The purpose of the paper is to establish sharp localized LlogL estimates for S and T. The proof rests on a corresponding one-weight estimate for a martingale maximal function, a result which is of independent interest.

In the context of the spaces of homogeneous type, given a family of operators that look like approximations of the identity, new sharp maximal functions are considered. We prove a good-λ inequality for Muckenhoupt weights, which leads to an analog of the Fefferman-Stein estimate for the classical sharp maximal function. As a consequence, we establish weighted norm estimates for certain singular integrals, defined on irregular domains, with Hörmander conditions replaced by some estimates which do...

We investigate the boundedness of the fractional maximal operator with respect to a general basis on weighted Lebesgue spaces. We characterize the boundedness of these operators for one-weight and two-weight inequalities extending the work of Jawerth. A new two-weight testing condition for the fractional maximal operator on a general basis is introduced extending the work of Sawyer for the basis of cubes. We also find the sharp dependence in the two-weight case between the operator norm and the...

We consider an abstract non-negative self-adjoint operator L acting on L²(X) which satisfies Davies-Gaffney estimates. Let $H_L^p\left(X\right)$ (p > 0) be the Hardy spaces associated to the operator L. We assume that the doubling condition holds for the metric measure space X. We show that a sharp Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorem on $H_L^p\left(X\right)$ follows from restriction-type estimates and Davies-Gaffney estimates. We also establish a sharp result for the boundedness of Bochner-Riesz means on $H_L^p\left(X\right)$.

We study sharp weak-type inequalities for a wide class of Fourier multipliers resulting from modulation of the jumps of Lévy processes. In particular, we obtain optimal estimates for second-order Riesz transforms, which lead to interesting a priori bounds for smooth functions on ℝd. The proofs rest on probabilistic methods: we deduce the above inequalities from the corresponding estimates for martingales. To obtain the lower bounds, we exploit the properties of laminates, important probability measures...

Sidon sets for the disk polynomial measure algebra (the continuous disk polynomial hypergroup) are described completely in terms of classical Sidon sets for the circle; an analogue of the F. and M. Riesz theorem is also proved.

Signals generated in circuits that include nano-structured elements typically have strongly distinct characteristics, particularly the hysteretic distortion. This is due to memristance, which is one of the key electronic properties of nanostructured materials. In this article, we consider signals generated from a memrsitive circuit model. We demonstrate numerically that such signals can be efficiently represented in certain custom-designed nonorthogonal bases. The proposed method ensures that the...

Si presentano alcuni risultati recenti riguardanti la disuguaglianza di Pòlya- Szegö e la caratterizzazione dei casi in cui essa si riduce ad un'uguaglianza. Particolare attenzione viene rivolta alla simmetrizzazione di Steiner di insiemi di perimetro finito e di funzioni di Sobolev.

We study the simultaneously reachable subspace for two strings controlled from a common endpoint. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for simultaneous spectral and approximate controllability. Moreover we prove the lack of simultaneous exact controllability and we study the space of simultaneously reachable states as a function of the position of the joint. For each type of controllability result we give the sharp controllability time.
