Dick proved that all dyadic order 2 digital nets satisfy optimal upper bounds on the $L_p$-discrepancy. We prove this for arbitrary prime base b with an alternative technique using Haar bases. Furthermore, we prove that all digital nets satisfy optimal upper bounds on the discrepancy function in Besov spaces with dominating mixed smoothness for a certain parameter range, and enlarge that range for order 2 digital nets. The discrepancy function in Triebel-Lizorkin and Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed...

The paper investigates the nonlinear function spaces introduced by Giaquinta, Modica and Souček. It is shown that a function from ${Cart}^p(\Omega ,{𝐑}^m)$ is approximated by ${𝒞}^1$ functions strongly in ${𝒜}^q(\Omega ,{𝐑}^m)$ whenever $q<p$. An example is shown of a function which is in ${cart}^p(\Omega ,{𝐑}^2)$ but not in ${cart}^p(\Omega ,{𝐑}^2)$.

Starting from a general formulation of the characterization by dyadic crowns of Sobolev spaces, the authors give a result of $L^p$ continuity for pseudodifferential operators whose symbol a(x,ξ) is non smooth with respect to x and whose derivatives with respect to ξ have a decay of order ρ with $0<\rho \le 1$. The algebra property for some classes of weighted Sobolev spaces is proved and an application to multi - quasi - elliptic semilinear equations is given.

We extend some results by Gol${}^{\prime }$dshtein, Kuz${}^{\prime }$minov, and Shvedov about the $L_p$-cohomology of warped cylinders to $L_{p,q}$-cohomology for $p\ne q$. As an application, we establish some sufficient conditions for the nontriviality of the $L_{p,q}$-torsion of a surface of revolution.

This paper is concerned with the isomorphic structure of the Banach space ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$ and how it depends on combinatorial tools whose existence is consistent with but not provable from the usual axioms of ZFC. Our main global result is that it is consistent that ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$ does not have an orthogonal ${\ell }_{\infty }$-decomposition, that is, it is not of the form ${\ell }_{\infty }\left(X\right)$ for any Banach space X. The main local result is that it is consistent that ${\ell }_{\infty }\left(c₀\left(\right)\right)$ does not embed isomorphically into ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$, where is the cardinality of the continuum, while ${\ell }_{\infty }$...

Given a real separable Hilbert space H, we denote with G(H) the geometry of closed linear subspaces of H.The strong convergence of sequences of subspaces is shown to be a L*-convergence and the weak convergence a L-convergence.The smallest L*-convergence containing the weak convergence is found, and the orthogonal image of the strong convergence, which is also a L*-convergence, is defined.

Let E be a Riesz space. By defining the spaces $L{¹}_E$ and $L_E^{\infty }$ of E, we prove that the center $Z\left(L{¹}_E\right)$ of $L{¹}_E$ is $L_E^{\infty }$ and show that the injectivity of the Arens homomorphism m: Z(E)” → Z(E˜) is equivalent to the equality $L{¹}_E=Z{\left(E\right)}^{\text{'}}$. Finally, we also give some representation of an order continuous Banach lattice E with a weak unit and of the order dual E˜ of E in $L{¹}_E$ which are different from the representations appearing in the literature.

We investigate the existence of higher order ℓ¹-spreading models in subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces. For instance, we show that the following conditions are equivalent for the mixed Tsirelson space $X=T\left[{(\theta ₙ,ₙ)}_{n=1}^{\infty }\right]$: (1) Every block subspace of X contains an $\ell ¹{-}_{\omega }$-spreading model, (2) The Bourgain ℓ¹-index $I_b\left(Y\right)=I\left(Y\right)>{\omega }^{\omega }$ for any block subspace Y of X, (3) $limₘlimsupₙ{\theta }_{m+n}/\theta ₙ>0$ and every block subspace Y of X contains a block sequence equivalent to a subsequence of the unit vector basis of X. Moreover, if one (and hence all) of these conditions...
