Optimal reinsurance.
We study Sobolev-type embeddings involving rearrangement-invariant norms. In particular, we focus on the question when such embeddings are optimal. We concentrate on the case when the functions involved are defined on Rn. This subject has been studied before, but only on bounded domains. We first establish the equivalence of the Sobolev embedding to a new type of inequality involving two integral operators. Next, we show this inequality to be equivalent to the boundedness of a certain Hardy operator...
This paper continues our study of Sobolev-type imbedding inequalities involving rearrangement-invariant Banach function norms. In it we characterize when the norms considered are optimal. Explicit expressions are given for the optimal partners corresponding to a given domain or range norm.
In the general geometric asset price model, the asset price P(t) at time t satisfies the relation , t ∈ [0,T], where f is a deterministic trend function, the stochastic process F describes the random fluctuations of the market, α is the trend coefficient, and σ denotes the volatility. The paper examines the problem of optimal trend estimation by utilizing the concept of kernel reproducing Hilbert spaces. It characterizes the class of trend functions with the property that the trend coefficient...
We establish the sharpness of embedding theorems for Bessel-potential spaces modelled upon Lorentz-Karamata spaces and we prove the non-compactness of such embeddings. Target spaces in our embeddings are generalized Hölder spaces. As consequences of our results, we get continuous envelopes of Bessel-potential spaces modelled upon Lorentz-Karamata spaces.
Suppose E is fully symmetric Banach function space on (0,1) or (0,∞) or a fully symmetric Banach sequence space. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on f ∈ E so that its orbit Ω(f) is the closed convex hull of its extreme points. We also give an application to symmetrically normed ideals of compact operators on a Hilbert space.
Let T be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex) Banach space X. If (aₙ) is a sequence of non-negative numbers tending to 0, then the set of x ∈ X such that ||Tⁿx|| ≥ aₙ||Tⁿ|| for infinitely many n’s has a complement which is both σ-porous and Haar-null. We also compute (for some classical Banach space) optimal exponents q > 0 such that for every non-nilpotent operator T, there exists x ∈ X such that , using techniques which involve the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of X.
It is proved by an order theoretical and purely algebraic method that any order bounded orthosymmetric bilinear operator where and are Archimedean vector lattices is symmetric. This leads to a new and short proof of the commutativity of Archimedean almost -algebras.
Let and be algebras of subsets of a set with , and denote by the set of all quasi-measure extensions of a given quasi-measure on to . We give some criteria for order boundedness of in , in the general case as well as for atomic . Order boundedness implies weak compactness of . We show that the converse implication holds under some assumptions on , and or alone, but not in general.
The space of all order continuous linear functionals on an Orlicz space defined by an arbitrary (not necessarily convex) Orlicz function is described.
Let L-phi be an Orlicz space defined by a Young function phi over a sigma-finite measure space, and let phi* denote the complementary function in the sense of Young. We give a characterization of the Mackey topology tau(L*,L-phi*) in terms of some family of norms defined by some regular Young functions. Next we describe order continuous (=absolutely continuous) Riesz seminorms on L-phi, and obtain a criterion for relative sigma(L-phi,L-phi*)-compactness in L-phi. As an application we get a representation...
