Méthodes de réalisation de produit scalaire et de problème de moments avec maximisation d'entropie

Valerie Girardin (1997)

Studia Mathematica

We develop several methods of realization of scalar product and generalized moment problems. Constructions are made by use of a Hilbertian method or a fixed point method. The constructed solutions are rational fractions and exponentials of polynomials. They are connected to entropy maximization. We give the general form of the maximizing solution. We show how it is deduced from the maximizing solution of the algebraic moment problem.

Metric entropy of convex hulls in Hilbert spaces

Wenbo Li, Werner Linde (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Let T be a precompact subset of a Hilbert space. We estimate the metric entropy of co(T), the convex hull of T, by quantities originating in the theory of majorizing measures. In a similar way, estimates of the Gelfand width are provided. As an application we get upper bounds for the entropy of co(T), T = t 1 , t 2 , . . . , | | t j | | a j , by functions of the a j ’s only. This partially answers a question raised by K. Ball and A. Pajor (cf. [1]). Our estimates turn out to be optimal in the case of slowly decreasing sequences ( a j ) j = 1 .

Metric spaces admitting only trivial weak contractions

Richárd Balka (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

If (X,d) is a metric space then a map f: X → X is defined to be a weak contraction if d(f(x),f(y)) < d(x,y) for all x,y ∈ X, x ≠ y. We determine the simplest non-closed sets X ⊆ ℝⁿ in the sense of descriptive set-theoretic complexity such that every weak contraction f: X → X is constant. In order to do so, we prove that there exists a non-closed F σ set F ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction f: F → F is constant. Similarly, there exists a non-closed G δ set G ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction...

Metrics in the set of partial isometries with finite rank

Let I be the set of partial isometries with finite rank of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H . We show that I is a smooth submanifold of the Hilbert space B 2 H of Hilbert-Schmidt operators of H and that each connected component is the set I N , which consists of all partial isometries of rank N < . Furthermore, I is a homogeneous space of U × U , where U is the classical Banach-Lie group of unitary operators of H , which are Hilbert-Schmidt perturbations of the identity. We introduce two Riemannian metrics...

M-ideals of homogeneous polynomials

Verónica Dimant (2011)

Studia Mathematica

We study the problem of whether w ( E ) , the space of n-homogeneous polynomials which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an M-ideal in the space (ⁿE) of continuous n-homogeneous polynomials. We obtain conditions that ensure this fact and present some examples. We prove that if w ( E ) is an M-ideal in (ⁿE), then w ( E ) coincides with w 0 ( E ) (n-homogeneous polynomials that are weakly continuous on bounded sets at 0). We introduce a polynomial version of property (M) and derive that if w ( E ) = w 0 ( E ) and (E) is an M-ideal in...
