For a real number $q>1$ and a positive integer $m$, let $Y_m\left(q\right):=\left\{{\sum }_{i=0}^n{ϵ}_i{q}^i:{ϵ}_i\in \left\{0,\pm 1,...,\pm m\right\},n=0,1,...\right\}$. In this paper, we show that $Y_m\left(q\right)$ is dense in $ℝ$ if and only if $q<m+1$ and $q$ is not a Pisot number. This completes several previous results and answers an open question raised by Erdös, Joó and Komornik [8].

We give new results on square functions $${\parallel x\parallel }_F=\parallel {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|F\left(tA\right)x\right|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t}\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p$$ associated to a sectorial operator $A$ on $L^p$ for $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Under the assumption that $A$ is actually $R$-sectorial, we prove equivalences of the form $K^{-1}{\parallel x\parallel }_G\le {\parallel x\parallel }_F\le K{\parallel x\parallel }_G$ for suitable functions $F,G$. We also show that $A$ has a bounded $H^{\infty }$ functional calculus with respect to ${\parallel .\parallel }_F$. Then we apply our results to the study of conditions under which we have an estimate $\parallel {({\int }_0^{\infty }|C{\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}{\left(x\right)|}^2\mathrm{d}t{)}^{1/2}\parallel }_q\le M{\parallel x\parallel }_p$, when $-A$ generates a bounded semigroup ${\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}$ on $L^p$ and $C:D\left(A\right)\to L^q$ is a linear mapping.

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $[0,1]$ which is invariant and ergodic for $T_a\left(x\right)=ax\mathrm{𝚖𝚘𝚍}1$, and $0<\mathrm{𝚍𝚒𝚖}\mu <1$. Let $f$ be a local diffeomorphism on some open set. We show that if $E\subseteq ℝ$ and $\left(f\mu \right){\left|{}_E\sim \mu \right|}_E$, then $f^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)\in \left\{\pm a^r:r\in \mathbb{Q}\right\}$ at $\mu$-a.e. point $x\in f^{-1}E$. In particular, if $g$ is a piecewise-analytic map preserving $\mu$ then there is an open $g$-invariant set $U$ containing supp $\mu$ such that $g\left|{}_U\right.$ is piecewise-linear with slopes which are rational powers of $a$. In a similar vein, for $\mu$ as above, if $b$ is another integer and $a,b$ are not powers of a common integer, and if $\nu$ is...

We consider functions $u\in W_0^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ is a smooth bounded domain, and $m\ge 2$ is an integer. For all $j\ge 0,1\le k\le m-1$, such that $1\le j+k\le m$, we prove that $\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\in W_0^{k,1}\left(\Omega \right)$ with $∥{\partial }^k{\left(\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\right)}_{L^1\left(\Omega \right)}\le C∥u∥{}_{W^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)}$, where $d$ is a smooth positive function which coincides with dist$(x,\partial \Omega )$ near $\partial \Omega$, and ${\partial }^l$ denotes any partial differential operator of order $l$.

We consider the integral functional $J\left(u\right)={\int }_{\Omega }\left[f\right(\left|Du\right|\left)-u\right]dx$, $u\in W_0^{1,1}\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $n\ge 2$, is a nonempty bounded connected open subset of ${ℝ}^n$ with smooth boundary, and $ℝ\ni s\mapsto f\left(\right|s\left|\right)$ is a convex, differentiable function. We prove that if $J$ admits a minimizer in $W_0^{1,1}\left(\Omega \right)$ depending only on the distance from the boundary of $\Omega$, then $\Omega$ must be a ball.

Let $\Omega \in L^s\left({\mathrm{S}}^{n-1}\right)$ for $s\ge 1$ be a homogeneous function of degree zero and $b$ a BMO function. The commutator generated by the Marcinkiewicz integral ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ and $b$ is defined by $${\displaystyle [b,{\mu }_{\Omega }]\left(f\right)\left(x\right)=({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|{\int }_{|x-y|\le t}\frac{\Omega (x-y)}{{|x-y|}^{n-1}}[b\left(x\right)-b\left(y\right)]f\left(y\right)\mathrm{d}y{|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t^3}\right)}^{1/2}.}$$ In this paper, the author proves the $(L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right),L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right))$-boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operator ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ and its commutator $[b,{\mu }_{\Omega }]$ when $p(·)$ satisfies some conditions. Moreover, the author obtains the corresponding result about ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ and $[b,{\mu }_{\Omega }]$ on Herz spaces with variable exponent.

The aim of this paper is to establish an existence and uniqueness result for a class of the set functional differential equations of neutral type$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{H}X\left(t\right)=F(t,X_t,D_H{X}_t),\hfill \\ {X|}_{[-r,0]}=\Psi ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $F:[0,b]\times {𝒞}_0\times {𝔏}_0^1\to K_c\left(E\right)$ is a given function, $K_c\left(E\right)$ is the family of all nonempty compact and convex subsets of a separable Banach space $E$, ${𝒞}_0$ denotes the space of all continuous set-valued functions $X$ from $[-r,0]$ into $K_c\left(E\right)$, ${𝔏}_0^1$ is the space of all integrally bounded set-valued functions $X:[-r,0]\to K_c\left(E\right)$, $\Psi \in {𝒞}_0$ and $D_H$ is the Hukuhara derivative. The continuous dependence of solutions on initial...

In the present paper the author discusses certain multiple integrals $I(u)$ of the calculus of variations satisfying convexity conditions, and no growth property, and the corresponding Serrin integrals $\Im (u)$, to which the existence theorems in [3,4,5] do not apply. However, in the present paper, the integrals $I(u)$ and $\Im (u)$ are reduced to simpler form $H(v)$ and $\mathscr{H}(v)$ to which the existence theorems above apply. Thus, we derive that $I(u)\le \Im (u)$, $H(v)\le \mathscr{H}(v)$, we obtain the existence of the absolute minimum for the Serrin forms $\Im (u)$...

We characterise the boundedness of the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of a sectorial operator in terms of dilation theorems. We show e. g. that if $-A$ generates a bounded analytic $C_0$ semigroup $\left(T_t\right)$ on a UMD space, then the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of $A$ is bounded if and only if $\left(T_t\right)$ has a dilation to a bounded group on $L^2([0,1],X)$. This generalises a Hilbert space result of C.LeMerdy. If $X$ is an $L^p$ space we can choose another $L^p$ space in place of $L^2([0,1],X)$.

Let $A$ be a closed set of $M\simeq {\mathbb{R}}^n$, whose conormai cones $x+y_x^{*}\left(A\right)$, $x\in A$, have locally empty intersection. We first show in §1 that $\text{dist}\left(x,A\right)$, $x\in M\setminus A$ is a $C^1$ function. We then represent the n microfunctions of ${\mathcal{C}}_{A|X}$, $X\simeq {\mathbb{C}}^n$, using cohomology groups of ${\mathcal{O}}_X$ of degree 1. By the results of § 1-3, we are able to prove in §4 that the sections of ${\left.{\mathcal{C}}_{A|X}\right|}_{{\dot{\pi }}^{-1}\left(x_0\right)}$, $x_0\in \partial A$, satisfy the principle of the analytic continuation in the complex integral manifolds of ${\left\{H\left({\varphi }_i^C\right)\right\}}_{i=1,\mathrm{\dots },m}$, $\left\{{\varphi }_i\right\}$ being a base for the linear hull of ${\gamma }_{x_0}^{*}\left(A\right)$ in $T_{x_0}^{*}M$; in particular we get ${\left.{\mathrm{\Gamma }}_{A\times {}_{M}T{}^{*}{}_{M}X}\left({\mathcal{C}}_{A|X}\right)\right|}_{\partial A\times {}_M\dot{T}{}^{*}{}_{M}X}=0$. When $A$is a half space with...

We report on results we recently obtained in Hebey and Thizy [11, 12] for critical stationary Kirchhoff systems in closed manifolds. Let $(M^n,g)$ be a closed $n$-manifold, $n\ge 3$. The critical Kirchhoff systems we consider are written as $$\left(a+b\sum _{j=1}^p{\int }_M{\left|\nabla u_j\right|}^{2}d{v}_g\right){\Delta }_g{u}_i+\sum _{j=1}^p{A}_{ij}{u}_j={\left|U\right|}^{2^{☆}-2}{u}_i$$ for all $i=1,\cdots ,p$, where ${\Delta }_g$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator, $A$ is a $C^1$-map from $M$ into the space $M_s^p\left(ℝ\right)$ of symmetric $p\times p$ matrices with real entries, the $A_{ij}$’s are the components of $A$, $U=(u_1,\cdots ,u_p)$, $\left|U\right|:M\to ℝ$ is the Euclidean norm of $U$, $2^{☆}=\frac{2n}{n-2}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, and...

T. Almada and J. Vaz de Carvalho (2001) stated the problem to investigate if these Łukasiewicz algebras are algebras of some logic system. In this article an affirmative answer is given and the ${ℒ}_n^m$-propositional calculus, denoted by ${\ell }_n^m$, is introduced in terms of the binary connectives $\to$ (implication), $\twoheadrightarrow$ (standard implication), $\wedge$ (conjunction), $\vee$ (disjunction) and the unary ones $f$ (negation) and $D_i$, $1\le i\le n-1$ (generalized Moisil operators). It is proved that ${\ell }_n^m$ belongs to the class of standard systems...

Let $u$ be a weight on $(0,\infty )$. Assume that $u$ is continuous on $(0,\infty )$. Let the operator $S_u$ be given at measurable non-negative function $\varphi$ on $(0,\infty )$ by $$S_u\varphi \left(t\right)=\underset{0<\tau \le t}{sup}u\left(\tau \right)\varphi \left(\tau \right).$$ We characterize weights $v,w$ on $(0,\infty )$ for which there exists a positive constant $C$ such that the inequality $${\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left[S_u\varphi \left(t\right)\right]}^{q}w\left(t\right)dt\right)}^{\frac{1}{q}}\lesssim {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left[\varphi \left(t\right)\right]}^{p}v\left(t\right)dt\right)}^{\frac{1}{p}}$$ holds for every $0<p,q<\infty$. Such inequalities have been used in the study of optimal Sobolev embeddings and boundedness of certain operators on classical Lorenz spaces.
