We show that if Ω is an open subset of ℝ², then the surjectivity of a partial differential operator P(D) on the space of ultradistributions ${}_{\left(\omega \right)}^{\text{'}}\left(\Omega \right)$ of Beurling type is equivalent to the surjectivity of P(D) on $C^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$.

Results of Emmanuele and Drewnowski are used to study the containment of c₀ in the space $K_{w*}(X*,Y)$, as well as the complementation of the space $K_{w*}(X*,Y)$ of w*-w compact operators in the space $L_{w*}(X*,Y)$ of w*-w operators from X* to Y.

We consider elementary operators $x\mapsto {\sum }_{j=1}^n{a}_{j}x{b}_j$, acting on a unital Banach algebra, where $a_j$ and $b_j$ are separately commuting families of generalized scalar elements. We give an ascent estimate and a lower bound estimate for such an operator. Additionally, we give a weak variant of the Fuglede-Putnam theorem for an elementary operator with strongly commuting families $a_j$ and $b_j$, i.e. $a_j=a_j^{\text{'}}+i{a}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j=b_j^{\text{'}}+i{b}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$), where all $a_j^{\text{'}}$ and $a_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j^{\text{'}}$ and $b_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$) commute. The main tool is an L¹ estimate of the Fourier transform of a certain class...

The aim of the paper is two-fold. First, we investigate the ψ-Bessel potential spaces on ${ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$ and study some of their properties. Secondly, we consider the fractional powers of an operator of the form $-A_{\pm }=-\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)\pm \partial /\left(\partial x_{n+1}\right)$, $(x^{\text{'}},x_{n+1})\in {ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$, where $\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)$ is an operator with real continuous negative definite symbol ψ: ℝⁿ → ℝ. We define the domain of the operator $-{(-A_{\pm })}^{\alpha }$ and prove that with this domain it generates an $L_p$-sub-Markovian semigroup.

We determine the duals of the homogeneous matrix-weighted Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ which were previously defined in [5]. If W is a matrix $A_p$ weight, then the dual of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ can be identified with ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$ and, similarly, $\left[{ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)\right]*\approx {ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$. Moreover, for certain W which may not be in the $A_p$ class, the duals of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ are determined and expressed in terms of the Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$ and ${ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$, which we define in terms of reducing operators ${A_Q}_Q$ associated with W. We also develop the basic theory of these reducing operator Besov spaces....

We study the space of p-compact operators, ${}_p$, using the theory of tensor norms and operator ideals. We prove that ${}_p$ is associated to $/d_p$, the left injective associate of the Chevet-Saphar tensor norm $d_p$ (which is equal to $g_{p^{\text{'}}}^{\text{'}}$). This allows us to relate the theory of p-summing operators to that of p-compact operators. Using the results known for the former class and appropriate hypotheses on E and F we prove that ${}_p(E;F)$ is equal to ${}_q(E;F)$ for a wide range of values of p and q, and show that our results...

In this paper, we study a model for the magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films. It comes as a variational problem for $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ (the magnetization) of two variables $x^{\text{'}}$: $E_{\epsilon }\left(m^{\text{'}}\right)=\epsilon \int {|{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}+\frac{1}{2}\int {\left||{\nabla }^{\text{'}}{|}^{-1/2}{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}\right|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}$. We are interested in the behavior of minimizers as $\epsilon \to 0$. They are expected to be $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ of vanishing distributional divergence ${\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}=0$, so that appropriate boundary conditions enforce line discontinuities. For finite $\epsilon >0$, these line discontinuities are approximated by smooth transition layers, the so-called Néel...

For p ≥ 1, a subset K of a Banach space X is said to be relatively p-compact if $K\subset {\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\alpha ₙxₙ:\alpha ₙ\in Ball\left(l_{p^{\text{'}}}\right)$, where p’ = p/(p-1) and $xₙ\in l_p^s\left(X\right)$. An operator T ∈ B(X,Y) is said to be p-compact if T(Ball(X)) is relatively p-compact in Y. Similarly, weak p-compactness may be defined by considering $xₙ\in l_p^w\left(X\right)$. It is proved that T is (weakly) p-compact if and only if T* factors through a subspace of $l_p$ in a particular manner. The normed operator ideals $(K_p,{\kappa }_p)$ of p-compact operators and $(W_p,{\omega }_p)$ of weakly p-compact operators, arising from these factorizations,...

Let d be a positive integer and μ a generalized Cantor measure satisfying $\mu ={\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j\mu \circ S_j^{-1}$, where $0<a_j<1$, ${\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j=1$, $S_j=\rho R+b_j$ with 0 < ρ < 1 and R an orthogonal transformation of ${ℝ}^d$. Then ⎧1 < p ≤ 2 ⇒ ⎨$su{p}_{r>0}{r}^{d(1/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}-1/p^{\text{'}})}({\int }_{J_x^r}{\left|\mu ̂\left(y\right)\right|}^{p^{\text{'}}}{dy)}^{1/p^{\text{'}}}\le D₁{\rho }^{-d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}$, $x\in {ℝ}^d$, ⎩ p = 2 ⇒ infr≥1 rd(1/α’-1/2) (∫J₀r|μ̂(y)|² dy)1/2 ≥ D₂ρd/α’$,$where $J_x^r={\prod }_{i=1}^d(x_i-r/2,x_i+r/2)$, α’ is defined by ${\rho }^{d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}={\left({\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j^p\right)}^{1/p}$ and the constants D₁ and D₂ depend only on d and p.

Let A denote the space of all analytic functions in the unit disc Δ with the normalization f(0) = f’(0) − 1 = 0. For β < 1, let $P{⁰}_{\beta }=f\in A:Re{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)>\beta ,z\in \Delta$. For λ > 0, suppose that denotes any one of the following classes of functions: $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(1\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(2\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z²f^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(3\right)}=f\in :Re1/2{\left(z{\left(z²f^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}\right)}^{\text{'}}-1>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$. The main purpose of this paper is to find conditions on λ and γ so that each f ∈ is in ${}_{\gamma }$ or ${}_{\gamma }$, γ ∈ [0,1/2]. Here ${}_{\gamma }$ and ${}_{\gamma }$ respectively denote the class of all starlike functions of order γ and the class of all convex functions of order γ. As a consequence, we obtain...

In analogy to the classical isomorphism between ((ℝⁿ), ${}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^m\right))$ and ${}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$ (resp. $\left(\left(ℝⁿ\right){,}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^m\right)\right)$ and ${}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$), we show that a large class of moderate linear mappings acting between the space ${}_C\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ of compactly supported generalized functions and (ℝⁿ) of generalized functions (resp. the space ${}_{}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ of Colombeau rapidly decreasing generalized functions and the space ${}_{\tau }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ of temperate ones) admits generalized integral representations, with kernels belonging to specific regular subspaces of $\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$ (resp. ${}_{\tau }\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$). The main novelty is to use...

Given two n-tuples $a=(a_1,...,a_n)$ and $b=(b_1,...,b_n)$ of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space the question of when there exists an elementary operator E such that $E{a}_j=b_j$ for all j =1,...,n, is studied. The analogous question for left multiplications (instead of elementary operators) is answered in any C*-algebra A, as a consequence of the characterization of closed left A-submodules in $A^n$.

We study the order boundedness of composition operators induced by holomorphic self-maps of the open unit disc D. We consider these operators first on the Hardy spaces $H^p$ 0 < p < ∞ and then on the Nevanlinna class N. Given a non-negative increasing function h on [0,∞[, a composition operator is said to be X,Lh-order bounded (we write (X,Lh)-ob) with $X=H^p$ or X = N if its composition with the map f ↦ f*, where f* denotes the radial limit of f, is order bounded from X into $L_h$. We give...

Let $\mu \in {\left({ℝ}^d\right)}^{\text{'}}$ be an analytic functional and let $T_{\mu }$ be the corresponding convolution operator on Sato’s space $\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ of hyperfunctions. We show that $T_{\mu }$ is surjective iff $T_{\mu }$ admits an elementary solution in $\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ iff the Fourier transform μ̂ satisfies Kawai’s slowly decreasing condition (S). We also show that there are $0\ne \mu \in {\left({ℝ}^d\right)}^{\text{'}}$ such that $T_{\mu }$ is not surjective on $\left({ℝ}^d\right)$.

Motivated by some recent results by Li and Stević, in this paper we prove that a two-parameter family of Cesàro averaging operators ${}^{b,c}$ is bounded on the Dirichlet spaces ${}_{p,a}$. We also give a short and direct proof of boundedness of ${}^{b,c}$ on the Hardy space $H^p$ for 1 < p < ∞.

For a double complex $(A,d^{\text{'}},d^{\text{'}\text{'}})$, we show that if it satisfies the $d^{\text{'}}{d}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-lemma and the spectral sequence $\left\{E_r^{p,q}\right\}$ induced by $A$ does not degenerate at $E_0$, then it degenerates at $E_1$. We apply this result to prove the degeneration at $E_1$ of a Hodge-de Rham spectral sequence on compact bi-generalized Hermitian manifolds that satisfy a version of $d^{\text{'}}{d}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-lemma.

We classify, up to isomorphism, the spaces of compact operators (E,F), where E and F are the Banach spaces of all continuous functions defined on the compact spaces $2^{}\times [0,\alpha ]$, the topological products of Cantor cubes $2^{}$ and intervals of ordinal numbers [0,α].

Let be a locally compact abelian group and let 1 < p ≤ 2. ’ is the dual group of , and p’ the conjugate exponent of p. An operator T between Banach spaces X and Y is said to be compatible with the Fourier transform $F^{}$ if $F^{}\otimes T:L_p\left(\right)\otimes X\to L_{p^{\text{'}}}{(}^{\text{'}})\otimes Y$ admits a continuous extension $[F^{},T]:[L_p\left(\right),X]\to [L_{p^{\text{'}}}{(}^{\text{'}}),Y]$. Let $ℱT_p^{}$ denote the collection of such T’s. We show that $ℱT_p^{ℝ\times }=ℱT_p^{\mathbb{Z}\times }=ℱT_p^{\mathbb{Z}ⁿ\times }$ for any and positive integer n. Moreover, if the factor group of by its identity component is a direct sum of a torsion-free group and a finite group with discrete topology then...

An ideal of N-tuples of operators is a class invariant with respect to unitary equivalence which contains direct sums of arbitrary collections of its members as well as their (reduced) parts. New decomposition theorems (with respect to ideals) for N-tuples of closed densely defined linear operators acting in a common (arbitrary) Hilbert space are presented. Algebraic and order (with respect to containment) properties of the class $CD{D}_N$ of all unitary equivalence classes of such N-tuples...

We provide a deep investigation of the notions of - and ${}^{\infty }$-hypoellipticity for partial differential operators with constant Colombeau coefficients. This involves generalized polynomials and fundamental solutions in the dual of a Colombeau algebra. Sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for - and ${}^{\infty }$-hypoellipticity are given

Let $L\left(H\right)$ denote the algebra of operators on a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. For $A,B\in L\left(H\right)$, the generalized derivation ${\delta }_{A,B}$ and the elementary operator ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ are defined by ${\delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AX-XB$ and ${\Delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AXB-X$ for all $X\in L\left(H\right)$. In this paper, we exhibit pairs $(A,B)$ of operators such that the range-kernel orthogonality of ${\delta }_{A,B}$ holds for the usual operator norm. We generalize some recent results. We also establish some theorems on the orthogonality of the range and the kernel of ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ with respect to the wider class of unitarily invariant...

The case $p=1$ answers a question asked by Rosenthal in 1976.
