By using the notion of contraction of Lie groups, we transfer $L^p-L²$ estimates for joint spectral projectors from the unit complex sphere $S^{2n+1}$ in ${ℂ}^{n+1}$ to the reduced Heisenberg group hⁿ. In particular, we deduce some estimates recently obtained by H. Koch and F. Ricci on hⁿ. As a consequence, we prove, in the spirit of Sogge’s work, a discrete restriction theorem for the sub-Laplacian L on hⁿ.

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operators ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ on ${ℝ}^{n₁}\times \cdots \times {ℝ}^{n_k}$ under the condition that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k/2}{(}^{n₁-1}\times \cdots {\times }^{n_k-1})$. The exponent k/2 is the best possible. This answers an open question posed by Y. Ding.

Let n ≥ 1, d = 2n, and let (x,y) ∈ ℝⁿ × ℝⁿ be a generic point in ℝ²ⁿ. The twisted Laplacian $L=-1/2{\sum }_{j=1}^n[({\partial }_{x_j}+i{y}_j)²+({\partial }_{y_j}-i{x}_j)²]$ has the spectrum n + 2k = λ²: k a nonnegative integer. Let $P_{\lambda }$ be the spectral projection onto the (infinite-dimensional) eigenspace. We find the optimal exponent ϱ(p) in the estimate $\left|\right|P_{\lambda }{u\left|\right|}_{L^p\left({ℝ}^d\right)}\lesssim {\lambda }^{\varrho \left(p\right)}{\left|\right|u\left|\right|}_{L²\left({ℝ}^d\right)}$ for all p ∈ [2,∞], improving previous partial results by Ratnakumar, Rawat and Thangavelu, and by Stempak and Zienkiewicz. The expression for ϱ(p) is ϱ(p) = 1/p -1/2 if 2 ≤ p ≤ 2(d+1)/(d-1), ϱ(p) = (d-2)/2 - d/p...

The imbalance of an edge $e=\{u,v\}$ in a graph is defined as $i\left(e\right)=\left|d\right(u)-d(v\left)\right|$, where $d(·)$ is the vertex degree. The irregularity $I\left(G\right)$ of $G$ is then defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$. This concept was introduced by Albertson who proved that $I\left(G\right)\le 4n^3/27$ (where $n=\left|V\right(G\left)\right|$) and obtained stronger bounds for bipartite and triangle-free graphs. Since then a number of additional bounds were given by various authors. In this paper we prove a new upper bound, which improves a bound found by Zhou and Luo in 2008. Our bound involves...

In this work we study the problem $u_t{-div\left(\right|x|}^{-2\gamma }\nabla u)=\lambda \frac{u^{\alpha }}{{\left|x\right|}^{2(\gamma +1)}}+f$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u\ge 0$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega \times (0,T)$, $u(x,0)=u_0\left(x\right)$ in $\Omega$, $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ $(N\ge 2)$ is a bounded regular domain such that $0\in \Omega$, $\lambda >0$, $\alpha >0$, $-\infty <\gamma <\left(N-2\right)/2$, $f$ and $u_0$ are positive functions such that $f\in L^1(\Omega \times (0,T))$ and $u_0\in L^1\left(\Omega \right)$. The main points under analysis are: (i) spectral instantaneous and complete blow-up related to the Harnack inequality in the case $\alpha =1$, $1+\gamma >0$; (ii) the nonexistence of solutions if $\alpha >1$, $1+\gamma >0$; (iii) a uniqueness result for weak solutions (in the distribution sense); (iv) further results on existence of weak solutions...

Let $a=(a_1,a_2,...,a_n)$ be a nonincreasing sequence of positive real numbers. Denote by $S=\{1,2,...,n\}$ the index set and by $J_k=\{I=\{r_1,r_2,...,r_k\}$, $1\le r_1<r_2<\cdots <r_k\le n\}$ the set of all subsets of $S$ of cardinality $k$, $1\le k\le n-1$. In addition, denote by $a_I=a_{r_1}+a_{r_2}+\cdots +a_{r_k}$, $1\le k\le n-1$, $1\le r_1<r_2<\cdots <r_k\le n$, the sum of $k$ arbitrary elements of sequence $a$, where $a_{I_1}=a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_k$ and $a_{I_n}=a_{n-k+1}+a_{n-k+2}+\cdots +a_n$. We consider bounds of the quantities $R{S}_k\left(a\right)=a_{I_1}/a_{I_n}$, $L{S}_k\left(a\right)=a_{I_1}-a_{I_n}$ and $S_{k,\alpha }\left(a\right)={\sum }_{I\in J_k}{a}_I^{\alpha }$ in terms of $A={\sum }_{i=1}^n{a}_i$ and $B={\sum }_{i=1}^n{a}_i^2$. Then we use the obtained results to generalize some results regarding Laplacian and normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs.

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 $L^2([0,1],X)$.

We show that the essential spectral radius ${\varrho }_e\left(T\right)$ of T ∈ B(H) can be calculated by the formula ${\varrho }_e\left(T\right)$ = inf${ℱ}_{♯·♯}\left(XT{X}^{-1}\right)$: X an invertible operator, where ${ℱ}_{♯·♯}\left(T\right)$ is a Φ₁-perturbation function introduced by Mbekhta [J. Operator Theory 51 (2004)]. Also, we show that if ${}_{♯·♯}\left(T\right)$ is a Φ₂-perturbation function [loc. cit.] and if T is a Fredholm operator, then $dist(0,{\sigma }_e\left(T\right))$ = sup${}_{♯·♯}\left(XT{X}^{-1}\right)$: X an invertible operator.

Let ${\mu }_{n-1}\left(G\right)$ be the algebraic connectivity, and let ${\mu }_1\left(G\right)$ be the Laplacian spectral radius of a $k$-connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. In this paper, we prove that $${\mu }_{n-1}\left(G\right)\ge \frac{2n{k}^2}{(n(n-1)-2m)(n+k-2)+2k^2},$$ with equality if and only if $G$ is the complete graph $K_n$ or $K_n-e$. Moreover, if $G$ is non-regular, then $${\mu }_1\left(G\right)<2\Delta -\frac{2(n\Delta -2m)k^2}{2(n\Delta -2m)(n^2-2n+2k)+n{k}^2},$$ where $\Delta$ stands for the maximum degree of $G$. Remark that in some cases, these two inequalities improve some previously known results.

An infinite set A in a space X converges to a point p (denoted by A → p) if for every neighbourhood U of p we have |A∖U| < |A|. We call cS(p,X) = |A|: A ⊂ X and A → p the convergence spectrum of p in X and cS(X) = ⋃cS(x,X): x ∈ X the convergence spectrum of X. The character spectrum of a point p ∈ X is χS(p,X) = χ(p,Y): p is non-isolated in Y ⊂ X, and χS(X) = ⋃χS(x,X): x ∈ X is the character spectrum of X. If κ ∈ χS(p,X) for a compactum X then κ,cf(κ) ⊂ cS(p,X). A selection of our...

We survey recent results concerning estimates of the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian and the Navier $p$-biharmonic operator on a ball of radius $R$ in ${ℝ}^N$ and its asymptotics for $p$ approaching $1$ and $\infty$. Let $p$ tend to $\infty$. There is a critical radius $R_C$ of the ball such that the principal eigenvalue goes to $\infty$ for $0<R\le R_C$ and to $0$ for $R>R_C$. The critical radius is $R_C=1$ for any $N\in \mathbb{N}$ for the $p$-Laplacian and $R_C=\sqrt{2N}$ in the case of the $p$-biharmonic operator. When $p$ approaches $1$, the principal eigenvalue...
