Weak Type Inequality for the Square Function of a Nonnegative Submartingale

Adam Osękowski (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let f be a nonnegative submartingale and S(f) denote its square function. We show that for any λ > 0, $λ ℙ (S (f) \geq λ) \leq π / 2 ∥ f ∥ ₁$ , and the constant π/2 is the best possible. The inequality is strict provided ∥f∥₁ ≠ 0.

On the condition of Λ-convexity in some problems of weak continuity and weak lower semicontinuity

Agnieszka Kałamajska (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the functional $I_{f} (u) = \int_{Ω} f (u (x)) d x$ , where u=(u₁, ..., uₘ) and each $u_{j}$ is constant along some subspace $W_{j}$ of ℝⁿ. We show that if intersections of the $W_{j}$ ’s satisfy a certain condition then $I_{f}$ is weakly lower semicontinuous if and only if f is Λ-convex (see Definition 1.1 and Theorem 1.1). We also give a necessary and sufficient condition on ${W_{j}}_{j = 1, . . ., m}$ to have the equivalence: $I_{f}$ is weakly continuous if and only if f is Λ-affine.

A uniqueness result for the continuity equation in two dimensions

Giovanni Alberti, Stefano Bianchini, Gianluca Crippa (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We characterize the autonomous, divergence-free vector fields $b$ on the plane such that the Cauchy problem for the continuity equation $\partial_{t} u + \frac{.}{\dot{}} (b u) = 0$ admits a unique bounded solution (in the weak sense) for every bounded initial datum; the characterization is given in terms of a property of Sard type for the potential $f$ associated to $b$ . As a corollary we obtain uniqueness under the assumption that the curl of $b$ is a measure. This result can be extended to certain non-autonomous vector fields $b$ with...

On weak sharp minima for a special class of nonsmooth functions

Marcin Studniarski (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

We present a characterization of weak sharp local minimizers of order one for a function f: ℝⁿ → ℝ defined by $f (x) : = m a x f_{i} (x) | i = 1, . . ., p$ , where the functions $f_{i}$ are strictly differentiable. It is given in terms of the gradients of $f_{i}$ and the Mordukhovich normal cone to a given set on which f is constant. Then we apply this result to a smooth nonlinear programming problem with constraints.

A Weak-Type Inequality for Submartingales and Itô Processes

Adam Osękowski (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let α ∈ [0,1] be a fixed parameter. We show that for any nonnegative submartingale X and any semimartingale Y which is α-subordinate to X, we have the sharp estimate $∥ Y ∥_{W} \leq (2 (α + 1) ²) / (2 α + 1) ∥ X ∥_{L^{\infty}}$ . Here W is the weak- $L^{\infty}$ space introduced by Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley. The inequality is already sharp in the context of α-subordinate Itô processes.

Jorg Wolf (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

In the present work we prove the interior Hölder continuity of the gradient matrix of any weak solution of equations, which describes the motion of non-Newtonian fluid in two dimensions, restricting ourself to the shear thinning case $1<q<2$ .

Weak-type inequalities for maximal operators acting on Lorentz spaces

Adam Osękowski (2014)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We prove sharp a priori estimates for the distribution function of the dyadic maximal function ℳ ϕ, when ϕ belongs to the Lorentz space $L^{p, q}$ , 1 < p < ∞, 1 ≤ q < ∞. The approach rests on a precise evaluation of the Bellman function corresponding to the problem. As an application, we establish refined weak-type estimates for the dyadic maximal operator: for p,q as above and r ∈ [1,p], we determine the best constant $C_{p, q, r}$ such that for any $ϕ \in L^{p, q}$ , ${| | ℳ ϕ | |}_{r, \infty} \leq C_{p, q, r} {| | ϕ | |}_{p, q}$ .

The subspace of weak $P$ -points of $ℕ^{*}$

Salvador García-Ferreira, Y. F. Ortiz-Castillo (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $W$ be the subspace of $ℕ^{*}$ consisting of all weak $P$ -points. It is not hard to see that $W$ is a pseudocompact space. In this paper we shall prove that this space has stronger pseudocompact properties. Indeed, it is shown that $W$ is a $p$ -pseudocompact space for all $p \in ℕ^{*}$ .

Weak- and strong-type inequality for the cone-like maximal operator in variable Lebesgue spaces

Kristóf Szarvas, Ferenc Weisz (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The classical Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded not only on the classical Lebesgue spaces $L_{p} (ℝ^{d})$ (in the case $p > 1$ ), but (in the case when $1 / p (\cdot)$ is log-Hölder continuous and $p_{-} = inf {p (x) : x \in ℝ^{d}} > 1$ ) on the variable Lebesgue spaces $L_{p (\cdot)} (ℝ^{d})$ , too. Furthermore, the classical Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is of weak-type $(1, 1)$ . In the present note we generalize Besicovitch’s covering theorem for the so-called $γ$ -rectangles. We introduce a general maximal operator $M_{s}^{γ, δ}$ and with the help of generalized $Φ$ -functions, the strong-...

The Ascoli property for function spaces and the weak topology of Banach and Fréchet spaces

S. Gabriyelyan, J. Kąkol, G. Plebanek (2016)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Following Banakh and Gabriyelyan (2016) we say that a Tychonoff space X is an Ascoli space if every compact subset of $C_{k} (X)$ is evenly continuous; this notion is closely related to the classical Ascoli theorem. Every $k_{ℝ}$ -space, hence any k-space, is Ascoli. Let X be a metrizable space. We prove that the space $C_{k} (X)$ is Ascoli iff $C_{k} (X)$ is a $k_{ℝ}$ -space iff X is locally compact. Moreover, $C_{k} (X)$ endowed with the weak topology is Ascoli iff X is countable and discrete. Using some basic concepts from probability...

Relaxation of the incompressible porous media equation

László Székelyhidi Jr (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

It was shown recently by Córdoba, Faraco and Gancedo in [1] that the 2D porous media equation admits weak solutions with compact support in time. The proof, based on the convex integration framework developed for the incompressible Euler equations in [4], uses ideas from the theory of laminates, in particular $T 4$ configurations. In this note we calculate the explicit relaxation of IPM, thus avoiding $T 4$ configurations. We then use this to construct weak solutions to the unstable interface...

Lower semicontinuous envelopes in $W^{1, 1} \times L^{p}$

Ana Margarida Ribeiro, Elvira Zappale (2014)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The lower semicontinuity of functionals of the type $\int_{Ω} f (x, u, v, \nabla u) d x$ with respect to the $(W^{1, 1} \times L^{p})$ -weak* topology is studied. Moreover, in absence of lower semicontinuity, an integral representation in $W^{1, 1} \times L^{p}$ for the lower semicontinuous envelope is also provided.

Pointwise regularity associated with function spaces and multifractal analysis

Stéphane Jaffard (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The purpose of multifractal analysis of functions is to determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the sets of points where a function (or a distribution) f has a given pointwise regularity exponent H. This notion has many variants depending on the global hypotheses made on f; if f locally belongs to a Banach space E, then a family of pointwise regularity spaces $C_{E}^{α} (x ₀)$ are constructed, leading to a notion of pointwise regularity with respect to E; the case $E = L^{\infty}$ corresponds to the usual Hölder regularity,...

Lower and upper bounds for the provability of Herbrand consistency in weak arithmetics

Zofia Adamowicz, Konrad Zdanowski (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that for i ≥ 1, the arithmetic $I Δ ₀ + Ω_{i}$ does not prove a variant of its own Herbrand consistency restricted to the terms of depth in $(1 + ε) l o g^{i + 2}$ , where ε is an arbitrarily small constant greater than zero. On the other hand, the provability holds for the set of terms of depths in $l o g^{i + 3}$ .

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The main aim of this paper is to prove that the maximal operator $σ^{}$ is bounded from the Hardy space $H_{1 / 2}$ to weak- $L_{1 / 2}$ and is not bounded from $H_{1 / 2}$ to $L_{1 / 2}$ .

$L^{q}$ -approach to weak solutions of the Oseen flow around a rotating body

Stanislav Kračmar, Šárka Nečasová, Patrick Penel (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider the time-periodic Oseen flow around a rotating body in ℝ³. We prove a priori estimates in $L^{q}$ -spaces of weak solutions for the whole space problem under the assumption that the right-hand side has the divergence form. After a time-dependent change of coordinates the problem is reduced to a stationary Oseen equation with the additional term -(ω ∧ x)·∇u + ω ∧ u in the equation of momentum where ω denotes the angular velocity. We prove the existence of generalized weak solutions...

A regularity theory for scalar local minimizers of splitting-type variational integrals

Michael Bildhauer, Martin Fuchs, Xiao Zhong (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

Starting from Giaquinta’s counterexample [12] we introduce the class of splitting functionals being of $(p, q)$ -growth with exponents $p \leq q < \infty$ and show for the scalar case that locally bounded local minimizers are of class $C^{1, μ}$ . Note that to our knowledge the only $C^{1, μ}$ -results without imposing a relation between $p$ and $q$ concern the case of two independent variables as it is outlined in Marcellini’s paper [15], Theorem A, and later on in the work of Fusco and Sbordone [10], Theorem 4.2.

Weak and strong density results for the Dirichlet energy

Mariano Giaquinta, Domenico Mucci (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $𝒴$ be a smooth oriented Riemannian manifold which is compact, connected, without boundary and with second homology group without torsion. In this paper we characterize the sequential weak closure of smooth graphs in $B^{n} \times 𝒴$ with equibounded Dirichlet energies, $B^{n}$ being the unit ball in $ℝ^{n}$ . More precisely, weak limits of graphs of smooth maps $u_{k} : B^{n} \to 𝒴$ with equibounded Dirichlet integral give rise to elements of the space ${cart}^{2, 1} (B^{n} \times 𝒴)$ (cf. [4], [5], [6]). In this paper we prove that every element $T$ in ${cart}^{2, 1} (B^{n} \times 𝒴)$ is the...

The power set of ω Elementary submodels and weakenings of CH

István Juhász, Kenneth Kunen (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define a new principle, SEP, which is true in all Cohen extensions of models of CH, and explore the relationship between SEP and other such principles. SEP is implied by each of CH*, the weak Freeze-Nation property of (ω), and the (ℵ₁,ℵ₀)-ideal property. SEP implies the principle $C ₂^{s} (ω ₂)$ , but does not follow from $C ₂^{s} (ω ₂)$ , or even $C^{s} (ω ₂)$ .

Sharp Weak-Type Inequality for the Haar System, Harmonic Functions and Martingales

Adam Osękowski (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let ${(h_{k})}_{k \geq 0}$ be the Haar system on [0,1]. We show that for any vectors $a_{k}$ from a separable Hilbert space and any $ε_{k} \in [- 1, 1]$ , k = 0,1,2,..., we have the sharp inequality $| | \sum_{k = 0}^{n} ε_{k} a_{k} h_{k} {| |}_{W ([0, 1])} \leq 2 | | \sum_{k = 0}^{n} a_{k} h_{k} {| |}_{L^{\infty} ([0, 1])}$ , n = 0,1,2,..., where W([0,1]) is the weak- $L^{\infty}$ space introduced by Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley. The above estimate is generalized to the sharp weak-type bound ${| | Y | |}_{W (Ω)} {\leq 2 | | X | |}_{L^{\infty} (Ω)}$ , where X and Y stand for -valued martingales such that Y is differentially subordinate to X. An application to harmonic functions on Euclidean domains is presented.

Multiplicity results for a class of concave-convex elliptic systems involving sign-changing weight functions

Honghui Yin, Zuodong Yang (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Our main purpose is to establish the existence of weak solutions of second order quasilinear elliptic systems ⎧ $- Δ_{p} u + {| u |}^{p - 2} u = f_{1 λ ₁} {(x) | u |}^{q - 2} u + 2 α / (α + β) g_{μ} {| u |}^{α - 2} u {| v |}^{β}$ , x ∈ Ω, ⎨ $- Δ_{p} v + {| v |}^{p - 2} v = f_{2 λ ₂} {(x) | v |}^{q - 2} v + 2 β / (α + β) g_{μ} {| u |}^{α} {| v |}^{β - 2} v$ , x ∈ Ω, ⎩ u = v = 0, x∈ ∂Ω, where 1 < q < p < N and $Ω \subset ℝ^{N}$ is an open bounded smooth domain. Here λ₁, λ₂, μ ≥ 0 and $f_{i λ_{i}} (x) = λ_{i} f_{i +} (x) + f_{i -} (x)$ (i = 1,2) are sign-changing functions, where $f_{i \pm} (x) = m a x \pm f_{i} (x), 0$ , $g_{μ} (x) = a (x) + μ b (x)$ , and $Δ_{p} u = {d i v (| \nabla u |}^{p - 2} \nabla u)$ denotes the p-Laplace operator. We use variational methods.

Cauchy problem for the non-newtonian viscous incompressible fluid

Milan Pokorný (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We study the Cauchy problem for the non-Newtonian incompressible fluid with the viscous part of the stress tensor $τ^{V} (𝕖) = τ (𝕖) - 2 μ_{1} Δ 𝕖$ , where the nonlinear function $τ (𝕖)$ satisfies $τ_{i j} (𝕖) e_{i j} \geq c {| 𝕖 |}^{p}$ or $τ_{i j} (𝕖) e_{i j} \geq {c (| 𝕖 |}^{2} + {| 𝕖 |}^{p})$ . First, the model for the bipolar fluid is studied and existence, uniqueness and regularity of the weak solution is proved for $p > 1$ for both models. Then, under vanishing higher viscosity $μ_{1}$ , the Cauchy problem for the monopolar fluid is considered. For the first model the existence of the weak solution is proved for $p > \frac{3 n}{n + 2}$ , its uniqueness...
