A space $X$ is said to have the Rothberger property (or simply $X$ is Rothberger) if for every sequence $\langle {𝒰}_n:n\in \omega \rangle$ of open covers of $X$, there exists $U_n\in {𝒰}_n$ for each $n\in \omega$ such that $X={\bigcup }_{n\in \omega }{U}_n$. For any $n\in \omega$, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for $C_p{(\Psi \left(𝒜\right),2)}^n$ to have the Rothberger property when $𝒜$ is a Mrówka mad family and, assuming CH (the Continuum Hypothesis), we prove the existence of a maximal almost disjoint family $𝒜$ for which the space $C_p{(\Psi \left(𝒜\right),2)}^n$ is Rothberger for all $n\in \omega$.

Let $\varphi$ be a substitution of Pisot type on the alphabet $𝒜=\{1,2,...,d\}$; $\varphi$ satisfies theif for every $i,j\in 𝒜$, there are integers $k,n$ such that ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same $k$-th letter, and the prefixes of length $k-1$ of ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same image under the abelianization map. We prove that the strong coincidence condition is satisfied if $d=2$ and provide a partial result for $d\ge 2$.

Let ${\Phi }_1,...,{\Phi }_{k+1}$ (with $k\ge 1$) be vector fields of class $C^k$ in an open set $U{\subset }^{N+m}$, let $𝕄$ be a $N$-dimensional $C^k$ submanifold of $U$ and define $$𝕋:=\{z\in 𝕄:{\Phi }_1\left(z\right),...,{\Phi }_{k+1}\left(z\right)\in T_z𝕄\}$$ where $T_z𝕄$ is the tangent space to $𝕄$ at $z$. Then we expect the following property, which is obvious in the special case when $z_0$ is an interior point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$: If $z_0\in 𝕄$ is a $(N+k)$-density point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$ then all the iterated Lie brackets of order less or equal to $k$ $${\Phi }_{i_1}\left(z_0\right),[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}]\left(z_0\right),[[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}],{\Phi }_{i_3}]\left(z_0\right),...(h,i_h\le k+1)$$ belong to $T_{z_0}𝕄$. Such a property has been proved in [9] for $k=1$ and its proof in the...

The author proved in 2018 that if $G$ is an open subset of a Hilbert space, $f_1,f_2:G\to ℝ$ continuous functions and $\omega$ a nontrivial modulus such that $f_1\le f_2$, $f_1$ is locally semiconvex with modulus $\omega$ and $f_2$ is locally semiconcave with modulus $\omega$, then there exists $f\in C_{\text{loc}}^{1,\omega }\left(G\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. This is a generalization of Ilmanen’s lemma (which deals with linear modulus and functions on an open subset of ${ℝ}^n$). Here we extend the mentioned result from Hilbert spaces to some superreflexive spaces, in particular to $L^p$ spaces, $p\in [2,\infty )$. We...

We prove that for a normed linear space $X$, if $f_1:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconvex with modulus $\omega$, $f_2:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconcave with modulus $\omega$ and $f_1\le f_2$, then there exists $f\in C^{1,\omega }\left(X\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. Using this result we prove a generalization of Ilmanen lemma (which deals with the case $\omega \left(t\right)=t$) to the case of an arbitrary nontrivial modulus $\omega$. This generalization (where a $C_{loc}^{1,\omega }$ function is inserted) gives a positive answer to a problem formulated by A. Fathi and M. Zavidovique in 2010.

We give existence theorems for weak and strong solutions with trichotomy of the nonlinear differential equation $$\dot{x}\left(t\right)=ℒ\left(t\right)x\left(t\right)+f(t,x\left(t\right)),t\in ℝ\left(\mathrm{P}\right)$$ where $\left\{ℒ\right(t):t\in ℝ\}$ is a family of linear operators from a Banach space $E$ into itself and $f:ℝ\times E\to E$. By $L\left(E\right)$ we denote the space of linear operators from $E$ into itself. Furthermore, for $a<b$ and $d>0$, we let $C\left(\right[-d,0],E)$ be the Banach space of continuous functions from $[-d,0]$ into $E$ and $f^d:[a,b]\times C([-d,0],E)\to E$. Let $\widehat{ℒ}:[a,b]\to L\left(E\right)$ be a strongly measurable and Bochner integrable operator on $[a,b]$ and for $t\in [a,b]$ define ${\tau }_{t}x\left(s\right)=x(t+s)$ for each $s\in [-d,0]$. We prove that, under certain...

We consider the equation $$-y^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)+q\left(x\right)y(x-\varphi \left(x\right))=f\left(x\right),x\in ℝ,$$ where $\varphi$ and $q$ ($q\ge 1$) are positive continuous functions for all $x\in ℝ$ and $f\in C\left(ℝ\right)$. By a solution of the equation we mean any function $y$, continuously differentiable everywhere in $ℝ$, which satisfies the equation for all $x\in ℝ$. We show that under certain additional conditions on the functions $\varphi$ and $q$, the above equation has a unique solution $y$, satisfying the inequality $$\parallel y^{\text{'}}{\parallel }_{C\left(ℝ\right)}+{\parallel qy\parallel }_{C\left(ℝ\right)}\le c{\parallel f\parallel }_{C\left(ℝ\right)},$$ where the constant $c\in (0,\infty )$ does not depend on the choice of $f$.

We study the relation between a space $X$ satisfying certain generalized metric properties and its $n$-fold symmetric product ${ℱ}_n\left(X\right)$ satisfying the same properties. We prove that $X$ has a $\sigma$-$\left(P\right)$-property $cn$-network if and only if so does ${ℱ}_n\left(X\right)$. Moreover, if $X$ is regular then $X$ has a $\sigma$-$\left(P\right)$-property $ck$-network if and only if so does ${ℱ}_n\left(X\right)$. By these results, we obtain that $X$ is strict $\sigma$-space (strict $\aleph$-space) if and only if so is ${ℱ}_n\left(X\right)$.

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...

We investigate the recovery of $k$-sparse signals using the ${\ell }_1$-${\ell }_2$ minimization model with prior support set information. The prior support set information, which is believed to contain the indices of nonzero signal elements, significantly enhances the performance of compressive recovery by improving accuracy, efficiency, reducing complexity, expanding applicability, and enhancing robustness. We assume $k$-sparse signals $𝐱$ with the prior support $T$ which is composed of $g$ true indices and $b$ wrong...

Let $f^j={\sum }_k{a}_{k}f(2^{j+1}x-2k)$, where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in ${ℝ}^n$ having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and $a_k\in ℂ$. Let $A_{pq}^s$ be either $B_{pq}^s$ or $F_{pq}^s$ (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on ${ℝ}^n.$ The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions $\parallel f^j|A_{pq}^s\parallel$ is equivalent to $2^{j(s-n/p)}({\sum }_k|a_k{|}^p{)}^{1/p}\parallel f|A_{pq}^s\parallel$.
