We introduce function spaces $B^{p,\lambda }$ with Morrey-Campanato norms, which unify $B^{p,\lambda }$, $CM{O}^{p,\lambda }$ and Morrey-Campanato spaces, and prove the boundedness of the fractional integral operator $I_{\alpha }$ on these spaces.

The following iterated commutators $T_{\ast ,\Pi b}$ of the maximal operator for multilinear singular integral operators and $I_{\alpha ,\Pi b}$ of the multilinear fractional integral operator are introduced and studied: $T_{\ast ,\Pi b}\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)=su{p}_{\delta >0}\left|[b₁,[b₂,\dots {[b_{m-1},[bₘ,T_{\delta }]ₘ]}_{m-1}\cdots ]₂]₁\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)\right|$, $I_{\alpha ,\Pi b}\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)=[b₁,[b₂,\dots {[b_{m-1},[bₘ,I_{\alpha }]ₘ]}_{m-1}\cdots ]₂]₁\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)$, where $T_{\delta }$ are the smooth truncations of the multilinear singular integral operators and $I_{\alpha }$ is the multilinear fractional integral operator, $b_i\in BMO$ for i = 1,…,m and f⃗ = (f1,…,fm). Weighted strong and L(logL) type end-point estimates for the above iterated commutators associated with two classes of multiple...

Given a two-dimensional fractional multiplicative process ${\left(F_t\right)}_{t\in [0,1]}$ determined by two Hurst exponents $H_1$ and $H_2$, we show that there is an associated uniform Hausdorff dimension result for the images of subsets of $[0,1]$ by $F$ if and only if $H_1=H_2$.

We consider a double analytic family of fractional integrals $S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }$ along the curve ${t\mapsto \left|t\right|}^{\alpha }$, introduced for α = 2 by L. Grafakos in 1993 and defined by $\left(S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }f\right)(x₁,x₂):=1/\Gamma (z+1/2){\int \int |u-1|}^z\psi (u-1){f(x₁-t,x₂-u|t|}^{\alpha }{\left)du\right|t|}^{\gamma }dt/t$, where ψ is a bump function on ℝ supported near the origin, $f{\in }_c^{\infty }\left(ℝ²\right)$, z,γ ∈ ℂ, Re γ ≥ 0, α ∈ ℝ, α ≥ 2. We determine the set of all (1/p,1/q,Re z) such that $S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }$ maps $L^p\left(ℝ²\right)$ to $L^q\left(ℝ²\right)$ boundedly. Our proof is based on product-type kernel arguments. More precisely, we prove that the kernel $K_{-1+i\theta }^{i\varrho ,\alpha }$ is a product kernel on ℝ², adapted to the curve ${t\mapsto \left|t\right|}^{\alpha }$; as a consequence, we show...

Given a compact manifold $N^n\subset {ℝ}^{\nu }$ and real numbers $s\ge 1$ and $1\le p\<\infty$, we prove that the class $C^{\infty }({\overline{Q}}^m;N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is strongly dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(Q^m;N^n)$ when $N^n$ is $\lfloor sp\rfloor$ simply connected. For $sp$ integer, we prove weak sequential density of $C^{\infty }({\overline{Q}}^m;N^n)$ when $N^n$ is $sp-1$ simply connected. The proofs are based on the existence of a retraction of ${ℝ}^{\nu }$ onto $N^n$ except for a small subset of $N^n$ and on a pointwise estimate of fractional derivatives of composition of maps in $W^{s,p}\cap W^{1,sp}$.

We introduce the generalized fractional integrals $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ and prove the strong and weak boundedness of $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ on the central Morrey spaces $B^{p,\lambda }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. In order to show the boundedness, the generalized λ-central mean oscillation spaces ${\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and the generalized weak λ-central mean oscillation spaces $W{\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ play an important role.

Let $\mu$ be a nonnegative Borel measure on ${ℝ}^d$ satisfying that $\mu \left(Q\right)\le l{\left(Q\right)}^n$ for every cube $Q\subset {ℝ}^n$, where $l\left(Q\right)$ is the side length of the cube $Q$ and $0<n\le d$. We study the class of pairs of weights related to the boundedness of radial maximal operators of fractional type associated to a Young function $B$ in the context of non-homogeneous spaces related to the measure $\mu$. Our results include two-weighted norm and weak type inequalities and pointwise estimates. Particularly, we give an improvement of a two-weighted result...

In the present paper, we prove nonexistence results for the following nonlinear evolution equation, see works of T. Cazenave and A. Haraux (1990) and S. Zheng (2004), $$u_{tt}+f\left(x\right)u_t+{(-\Delta )}^{\alpha /2}\left(u^m\right)=h(t,x){\left|u\right|}^p,$$ posed in $(0,T)\times {ℝ}^N,$ where ${(-\Delta )}^{\alpha /2},0<\alpha \le 2$ is $\alpha /2$-fractional power of $-\Delta .$ Our method of proof is based on suitable choices of the test functions in the weak formulation of the sought solutions. Then, we extend this result to the case of a $2\times 2$ system of the same type.

We consider the problem of determining the unknown source term $f=f(x,t)$ in a space fractional diffusion equation from the measured data at the final time $u(x,T)=\psi \left(x\right)$. In this way, a methodology involving minimization of the cost functional $J\left(f\right)={\int }_0^l{(u(x,t;f){|}_{t=T}-\psi \left(x\right))}^2\mathrm{d}x$ is applied and shown that this cost functional is Fréchet differentiable and its derivative can be formulated via the solution of an adjoint problem. In addition, Lipschitz continuity of the gradient is proved. These results help us to prove the monotonicity and...

Let $A_{\alpha }f\left(x\right)={\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|}^{-\alpha /n}{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ be the n-dimensional fractional Hardy operator, where 0 < α ≤ n. It is well-known that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from $L^p$ to $L^{p_{\alpha }}$ with $p_{\alpha }=np/(\alpha p-np+n)$ when n(1-1/p) < α ≤ n. We improve this result within the framework of Banach function spaces, for instance, weighted Lebesgue spaces and Lorentz spaces. We in fact find a ’source’ space $S_{\alpha ,Y}$, which is strictly larger than X, and a ’target’ space $T_Y$, which is strictly smaller than Y, under the assumption that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from X into Y and the Hardy-Littlewood...

Let n be a nonnegative integer and let u ∈ (n,n+1]. We say that f is u-times Peano bounded in the approximate (resp. $L^p$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) sense at $x\in {ℝ}^m$ if there are numbers $f_{\alpha }\left(x\right)$, |α| ≤ n, such that $f(x+h)-{\sum }_{\left|\alpha \right|\le n}{f}_{\alpha }\left(x\right)h^{\alpha }/\alpha !$ is $O\left(h^u\right)$ in the approximate (resp. $L^p$) sense as h → 0. Suppose f is u-times Peano bounded in either the approximate or $L^p$ sense at each point of a bounded measurable set E. Then for every ε > 0 there is a perfect set Π ⊂ E and a smooth function g such that the Lebesgue measure of E∖Π is less than ε and...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A function g:V → [0,1] is called a global dominating function (GDF) of G, if for every v ∈ V, $g\left(N\left[v\right]\right)={\sum }_{u\in N\left[v\right]}g\left(u\right)\ge 1$ and $g\left(\overline{N\left(v\right)}\right)={\sum }_{u\notin N\left(v\right)}g\left(u\right)\ge 1$. A GDF g of a graph G is called minimal (MGDF) if for all functions f:V → [0,1] such that f ≤ g and f(v) ≠ g(v) for at least one v ∈ V, f is not a GDF. The fractional global domination number ${\gamma }_{fg}\left(G\right)$ is defined as follows: ${\gamma }_{fg}\left(G\right)$ = min|g|:g is an MGDF of G where $\left|g\right|={\sum }_{v\in V}g\left(v\right)$. In this paper we initiate a study of this parameter.

We use the genus theory to prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the fractional $p$-Kirchhoff problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{\displaystyle -{\left[M\left({\int }_Q{\displaystyle \frac{{|u\left(x\right)-u\left(y\right)|}^p}{{|x-y|}^{N+ps}}}\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y\right)\right]}^{p-1}{(-\Delta )}_p^{s}u=\lambda h(x,u)\text{in}\Omega ,}\hfill \\ u=0\text{on}{ℝ}^N\setminus \Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $\Omega$ is an open bounded smooth domain of ${ℝ}^N$, $p>1$, $N>ps$ with $s\in (0,1)$ fixed, $Q={ℝ}^{2N}\setminus (C\Omega \times C\Omega )$, $\lambda >0$ is a numerical parameter, $M$ and $h$ are continuous functions.

Our aim is to establish Sobolev type inequalities for fractional maximal functions $M_{ℍ,\nu }f$ and Riesz potentials $I_{ℍ,\alpha }f$ in weighted Morrey spaces of variable exponent on the half space $ℍ$. We also obtain Sobolev type inequalities for a $C^1$ function on $ℍ$. As an application, we obtain Sobolev type inequality for double phase functionals with variable exponents $\Phi (x,t)=t^{p\left(x\right)}+{\left(b\left(x\right)t\right)}^{q\left(x\right)}$, where $p(·)$ and $q(·)$ satisfy log-Hölder conditions, $p\left(x\right)<q\left(x\right)$ for $x\in ℍ$, and $b(·)$ is nonnegative and Hölder continuous of order $\theta \in (0,1]$.

We collect and extend results on the limit of ${\sigma }^{1-k}{(1-\sigma )}^k{\left|v\right|}_{l+\sigma ,p,\Omega }^p$ as σ → 0⁺ or σ → 1¯, where Ω is ℝⁿ or a smooth bounded domain, k ∈ 0,1, l ∈ ℕ, p ∈ [1,∞), and ${\left|·\right|}_{l+\sigma ,p,\Omega }$ is the intrinsic seminorm of order l+σ in the Sobolev space $W^{l+\sigma ,p}\left(\Omega \right)$. In general, the above limit is equal to $c{\left[v\right]}^p$, where c and [·] are, respectively, a constant and a seminorm that we explicitly provide. The particular case p = 2 for Ω = ℝⁿ is also examined and the results are then proved by using the Fourier transform.

We study the chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity and logistic-type source: $u_t=\Delta u-\chi \nabla ·(u\nabla v/v)+ru-\mu u^k$, $0=\Delta v-v+u$ under the non-flux boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $\chi ,r,\mu >0$, $k>1$ and $n\ge 1$. It is shown with $k\in (1,2)$ that the system possesses a global generalized solution for $n\ge 2$ which is bounded when $\chi >0$ is suitably small related to $r>0$ and the initial datum is properly small, and a global bounded classical solution for $n=1$.

Let ${\mu }_A$ be the singular measure on the Heisenberg group ${ℍ}^n$ supported on the graph of the quadratic function $\varphi \left(y\right)=y^{t}Ay$, where $A$ is a $2n\times 2n$ real symmetric matrix. If $det(2A\pm J)\ne 0$, we prove that the operator of convolution by ${\mu }_A$ on the right is bounded from $L^{\frac{(2n+2)}{(2n+1)}}\left({ℍ}^n\right)$ to $L^{2n+2}\left({ℍ}^n\right)$. We also study the type set of the measures $\mathrm{d}{\nu }_{\gamma }(y,s)=\eta \left(y\right){\left|y\right|}^{-\gamma }\mathrm{d}{\mu }_A(y,s)$, for $0\le \gamma <2n$, where $\eta$ is a cut-off function around the origin on ${ℝ}^{2n}$. Moreover, for $\gamma =0$ we characterize the type set of ${\nu }_0$.

Let $b>a>0$. We prove the following asymptotic formula $$\sum _{n⩾0}|\{x/(n+a)\}-\{x/(n+b)\}|=\frac{2}{\pi }\zeta (3/2)\sqrt{cx}+O\left(c^{2/9}{x}^{4/9}\right),$$ with $c=b-a$, uniformly for $x⩾40c^{-5}{(1+b)}^{27/2}$.

We consider the problem of the existence of positive solutions u to the problem $u^{\left(n\right)}\left(x\right)=g\left(u\left(x\right)\right)$, $u\left(0\right)=u^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=...=u^{(n-1)}\left(0\right)=0$ (g ≥ 0,x > 0, n ≥ 2). It is known that if g is nondecreasing then the Osgood condition $\int {₀}^{\delta }1/s{[s/g\left(s\right)]}^{1/n}ds<\infty$ is necessary and sufficient for the existence of nontrivial solutions to the above problem. We give a similar condition for other classes of functions g.

The aim of this work is to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the fractional integro-differential equations $\frac{d}{dt}[x\left(t\right)-L\left(x_t\right)]=A[x\left(t\right)-L\left(x_t\right)]+G\left(x_t\right)+\frac{1}{\Gamma \left(\alpha \right)}{\int }_{-\infty }^t{(t-s)}^{\alpha -1}\left({\int }_{-\infty }^{s}a(s-\xi )x\left(\xi \right)d\xi \right)ds+f\left(t\right)$, ($\alpha >0$) with the periodic condition $x\left(0\right)=x\left(2\pi \right)$, where $a\in L^1\left({ℝ}_{+}\right)$ . Our approach is based on the R-boundedness of linear operators $L^p$-multipliers and UMD-spaces.
