It is shown that the order of Gateaux smoothness of bump functions on a wide class of Banach spaces with unconditional basis is not better than that of Fréchet differentiability. It is proved as well that in the separable case this order for Banach lattices satisfying a lower p-estimate for 1≤ p < 2 can be only slightly better.
A topological algebra A is said to be fundamental if there exists b > 1 such that for every sequence (xn) in A, (xn) is Cauchy whenever the sequence bn(xn − xn-1) tends to zero as n → ∞. Let A be a complex unital fundamental F-algebra with bounded elements such that A* separates the points on A. Then we prove that the spectrum σ(a) of every element a ∈ A is nonempty compact. Moreover, if A is a division algebra, then A is isomorphic to the complex numbers ℂ. This result is a generalization of...
Let D be the open unit disc and μ a positive bounded measure on [0,1]. Extending results of Mateljević/Pavlović and Shields/Williams we give Banach-space descriptions of the classes of all harmonic (holomorphic) functions f: D → ℂ satisfying .
We investigate when a C*-algebra element generates a closed ideal, and discuss Moore-Penrose and commuting generalized inverses.
MSC 2010: 46F30, 46F10Modelling of singularities given by discontinuous functions or distributions by means of generalized functions has proved useful in many problems posed by physical phenomena. We introduce in a systematic way generalized functions of Colombeau that model such singularities. Moreover, we evaluate some products of singularity-modelling generalized functions whenever the result admits an associated distribution.
We give a version of the Moser-Trudinger inequality without boundary condition for Orlicz-Sobolev spaces embedded into exponential and multiple exponential spaces. We also derive the Concentration-Compactness Alternative for this inequality. As an application of our Concentration-Compactness Alternative we prove that a functional with the sub-critical growth attains its maximum.
We begin a systematic study of the category GTS of generalized topological spaces (in the sense of H. Delfs and M. Knebusch) and their strictly continuous mappings. We reformulate the axioms. Generalized topology is found to be connected with the concept of a bornological universe. Both GTS and its full subcategory SS of small spaces are topological categories. The second part of this paper will also appear in this journal.
This is the second part of A. Piękosz [Ann. Polon. Math. 107 (2013), 217-241]. The categories GTS(M), with M a non-empty set, are shown to be topological. Several related categories are proved to be finitely complete. Locally small and nice weakly small spaces can be described using certain sublattices of power sets. Some important elements of the theory of locally definable and weakly definable spaces are reconstructed in a wide context of structures with topologies.
