It is proved that if ${\phi }_n$ is a complete orthonormal system of bounded functions and ɛ>0, then there exists a measurable set E ⊂ [0,1] with measure |E|>1-ɛ, a measurable function μ(x), 0 < μ(x) ≤ 1, μ(x) ≡ 1 on E, and a series of the form ${\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)$, where $c_k\in l_q$ for all q>2, with the following properties: 1. For any p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]=f:{ʃ}_0^1{\left|f\left(x\right)\right|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx<\infty$ there are numbers ${\varepsilon }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\varepsilon }_k$ = 1 or 0, such that $li{m}_{n\to \infty }{ʃ}_0^1{|{\sum }_{k=1}^n{\varepsilon }_k{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)-f\left(x\right)|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx=0.$ 2. For every p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]$ there are a function $g\in L^1[0,1]$ with g(x) = f(x) on E and numbers ${\delta }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\delta }_k=1$ or 0,...

We investigate the Fourier transforms of functions in the Sobolev spaces $W_1^{r_1,...,r_n}$. It is proved that for any function $f\in W_1^{r_1,...,r_n}$ the Fourier transform f̂ belongs to the Lorentz space $L^{n/r,1}$, where $r=n{({\sum }_{j=1}^{n}1/r_j)}^{-1}\le n$. Furthermore, we derive from this result that for any mixed derivative $D^{s}f(f\in C_0^{\infty },s=(s_1,...,s_n))$ the weighted norm $\parallel {\left(D^{s}f\right)}^{\wedge }{\parallel }_{L^1\left(w\right)}(w\left(\xi \right)={\left|\xi \right|}^{-n})$ can be estimated by the sum of $L^1$-norms of all pure derivatives of the same order. This gives an answer to a question posed by A. Pełczyński and M. Wojciechowski.

Let ${\left\{\beta \left(n\right)\right\}}_{n=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ be a sequence of positive numbers and $1\le p<\mathrm{\infty }$. We consider the space $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ of all power series $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\stackrel{⌃}{f}\left(n\right)z^n$ such that ${\sum }_{n=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}{\left|\stackrel{⌃}{f}\left(n\right)\right|}^p\beta {\left(n\right)}^p<\mathrm{\infty }$ . Suppose that $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1$ and ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\frac{n^{qj}}{\beta {\left(n\right)}^q}=\mathrm{\infty }$ for some nonnegative integer $j$. We show that if $C_{\phi }$ is compact on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$, then the non-tangential limit of ${\phi }^{\left(j+1\right)}$ has modulus greater than one at each boundary point of the open unit disc. Also we show that if $C_{\phi }$ is Fredholm on $H_p\left(\beta \right)$, then $\phi$ must be an automorphism of the open unit disc.

Let $P(\lambda ,D)={\sum }_{\left|\alpha \right|\le m}{a}_{\alpha }\left(\lambda \right)D^{\alpha }$ be a differential operator with constant coefficients $a_{\alpha }$ depending analytically on a parameter $\lambda$. Assume that the family $\{$ P($\lambda$,D)$\}$ is of constant strength. We investigate the equation $P(\lambda ,D){𝔣}_{\lambda }\equiv g_{\lambda }$ where ${𝔤}_{\lambda }$ is a given analytic function of $\lambda$ with values in some space of distributions and the solution ${𝔣}_{\lambda }$ is required to depend analytically on $\lambda$, too. As a special case we obtain a regular fundamental solution of P($\lambda$,D) which depends analytically on $\lambda$. This result answers a question of L. Hörmander. ...

Let $Q={\left(Q_k\right)}_{k\ge 0},Q_0=1,Q_{k+1}=q_k{Q}_k,q_k\ge 2$, be a Cantor scale, ${𝐙}_Q$ the compact projective limit group of the groups $𝐙/Q_k𝐙$, identified to ${\prod }_{0\le j\le k-1}𝐙/q_j𝐙$, and let $\mu$ be its normalized Haar measure. To an element $x=\{a_0,a_1,a_2,\cdots \},0\le a_k\le q_{k+1}-1$, of ${𝐙}_Q$ we associate the sequence of integral valued random variables $x_k={\sum }_{0\le j\le k}{a}_j{Q}_j$. The main result of this article is that, given a complex $𝐐$-multiplicative function $g$ of modulus $1$, we have $$\underset{x_k\to x}{lim}(\frac{1}{x_k}\sum _{n\le x_k-1}g\left(n\right)-\prod _{0\le j\le k}\frac{1}{q_j}\sum _{0\le a\le q_j}g\left(a{Q}_j\right))=0\mu \text{-a.e}.$$

Si considera, in uno spazio di Hilbert $H$ l'operatore lineare ${\mathfrak{M}}_0\phi =1/2\text{Tr}\left[D^2\phi \right]+〈x,AD\phi 〉-〈DU\left(x\right),D\phi 〉$, dove $A$ è un operatore negative autoaggiunto e $U$ è un potenziale che soddisfa a opportune condizioni di integrabilità. Si dimostra con un metodo analitico che ${\mathfrak{M}}_0$ è essenzialmente autoaggiunto in uno spazio $L^2\left(H,\nu \right)$ e si caratterizza il dominio della sua chiusura $\mathfrak{M}$ come sottospazio di $W^{2,2}\left(H,\nu \right)$. Si studia inoltre la «spectral gap property» del semigruppo generato da $\mathfrak{M}$.

Let $\Phi \left(t\right)={ʃ}_0^{t}a\left(s\right)ds$ and $\Psi \left(t\right)={ʃ}_0^{t}b\left(s\right)ds$, where a(s) is a positive continuous function such that ${ʃ}_1^{\infty }a\left(s\right)/sds=\infty$ and b(s) is quasi-increasing and $li{m}_{s\to \infty }b\left(s\right)=\infty$. Then the following statements for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function Mf(x) are equivalent: (j) there exist positive constants $c_1$ and $s_0$ such that ${ʃ}_1^{s}a\left(t\right)/tdt\ge c_{1}b\left(c_{1}s\right)$ for all $s\ge s_0$; (jj) there exist positive constants $c_2$ and $c_3$ such that ${ʃ}_0^{2\pi }\Psi (\left(c_2\right)/{\left(\right|⨍|}_{}\left)\right|⨍\left(x\right)\left|\right)dx\le c_3+c_3{ʃ}_0^{2\pi }{\Phi (1/(\left|⨍\right|}_{}\left)\right)Mf\left(x\right)dx$ for all $⨍\in L^1\left(\right)$.
