In this paper, a precise projection decomposition in reflexive, smooth and strictly convex Orlicz-Bochner spaces is given by the representation of the duality mapping. As an application, a representation of the metric projection operator on a closed hyperplane is presented.
The first and last sections of this paper are intended for a general mathematical audience. In addition to some very brief remarks of a somewhat historical nature, we pose a rather simply formulated question in the realm of (discrete) geometry. This question has arisen in connection with a recently developed approach for studying various versions of the function space BMO. We describe that approach and the results that it gives. Special cases of one of our results give alternative proofs of the...
We prove that for every closed locally convex subspace E of and for any continuous linear operator T from to there is a continuous linear operator S from to such that T = QS where Q is the quotient map from to .
In this paper we prove a new convexity property for L₁ that resembles uniform convexity. We then develop a general theory that leads from the convexity property through normal structure to a fixed point property, via a theorem of Kirk. Applying this theory to L₁, we get the following type of normal structure: any convex subset of L₁ of positive diameter that is compact for the topology of convergence locally in measure, must have a radius that is smaller than its diameter. Indeed, a stronger result...
The paper analyzes the influence on the meaning of natural growth in the gradient of a perturbation by a Hardy potential in some elliptic equations. Indeed, in the case of the Laplacian the natural problem becomes in , on , . This problem is a particular case of problem (2). Notice that is optimal as coefficient and exponent on the right hand side.
