Some existence results on best approximation are proved without starshaped subset and affine mapping in the set up of $q$-normed space. First, we consider the closed subset and then weakly compact subsets for said purpose. Our results improve the result of Mukherjee and Som (Mukherjee, R. N., Som, T., A note on an application of a fixed point theorem in approximation theory, Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 16(3) (1985), 243–244.) and Jungck and Sessa (Jungck, G., Sessa, S., Fixed point theorems in best...

In this work we present results on fixed points, pairs of coincidence points and best approximation for ε-semicontinuous mappings in metric trees. It is a generalization of the similar properties of upper and almost lower semicontinuous mappings.

If f is a continuous seminorm, we prove two f-best approximation theorems for functions Φ not necessarily continuous as a consequence of our version of Glebov's fixed point theorem. Moreover, we obtain another fixed point theorem that improves a recent result of [4]. In the last section, we study continuity-type properties of set valued parametric projections and our results improve recent theorems due to Mabizela [11].

We determine the set of all triples 1 ≤ p,q,r ≤ ∞ for which the so-called Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality is satisfied: There exists a constant c≥ 0 such that for each bounded linear operator $T:L_q\left(\mu \right)\to L_p\left(\nu \right)$, each n ∈ ℕ and functions $f_1,...,f_n\in L_q\left(\mu \right)$, $\left(ʃ\right({\sum }_{k=1}^n|T{f}_k{|}^r{)}^{p/r}{d\nu )}^{1/p}\le c\parallel T\parallel \left(ʃ\right({\sum }_{k=1}^n|f_k{|}^r{{)}^{q/r}d\mu )}^{1/q}$. This type of inequality includes as special cases well-known inequalities of Paley, Marcinkiewicz, Zygmund, Grothendieck, and Kwapień. If such a Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality holds for a given triple (p,q,r), then we calculate the best constant c ≥ 0 (with the only exception:...

We determine the norm in $L^p\left(ℝ₊\right)$, 1 < p < ∞, of the operator $I-{ℱ}_s{ℱ}_c$, where ${ℱ}_c$ and ${ℱ}_s$ are respectively the cosine and sine Fourier transforms on the positive real axis, and I is the identity operator. This solves a problem posed in 1984 by M. S. Birman [Bir] which originated in scattering theory for unbounded obstacles in the plane. We also obtain the $L^p$-norms of the operators aI + bH, where H is the Hilbert transform (conjugate function operator) on the circle or real line, for arbitrary real a,b. Best...

In this paper, we introduce the new concept of proximal mapping, namely proximal weak contractions and proximal Berinde nonexpansive mappings. We prove the existence of best proximity points for proximal weak contractions in metric spaces, and for proximal Berinde nonexpansive mappings on starshape sets in Banach spaces. Examples supporting our main results are also given. Our main results extend and generalize some of well-known best proximity point theorems of proximal nonexpansive mappings in...

We present a pair of conjectural formulas that compute the leading term of the spectral asymptotics of a Schrödinger operator on $L^2\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ with quasi-homogeneous polynomial magnetic and electric fields. The construction is based on the orbit method due to Kirillov. It makes sense for any nilpotent Lie algebra and is related to the geometry of coadjoint orbits, as well as to the growth properties of certain “algebraic integrals,” studied by Nilsson. By using the direct variational method, we prove that the...

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $T$ be a bounded linear operator on $X$. We denote by $S\left(T\right)$ the set of all complex $\lambda \in ℂ$ such that $T$ does not have the single-valued extension property at $\lambda$. In this note we prove equality up to $S\left(T\right)$ between the left Drazin spectrum, the upper semi-B-Fredholm spectrum and the semi-essential approximate point spectrum. As applications, we investigate generalized Weyl’s theorem for operator matrices and multiplier operators.

We study whether the operator space $V**\stackrel{\alpha }{\otimes }W**$ can be identified with a subspace of the bidual space $\left(V\stackrel{\alpha }{\otimes }W\right)**$, for a given operator space tensor norm. We prove that this can be done if α is finitely generated and V and W are locally reflexive. If in addition the dual spaces are locally reflexive and the bidual spaces have the completely bounded approximation property, then the identification is through a complete isomorphism. When α is the projective, Haagerup or injective norm, the hypotheses can be weakened.
