We investigate weighted norm inequalities for the commutator of a fractional integral operator and multiplication by a function. In particular, we show that, for $\mu ,\lambda \in A_{p,q}$ and α/n + 1/q = 1/p, the norm $\left|\right|[b,I_{\alpha }]:L^p\left({\mu }^p\right)\to L^q\left({\lambda }^q\right)\left|\right|$ is equivalent to the norm of b in the weighted BMO space BMO(ν), where $\nu =\mu {\lambda }^{-1}$. This work extends some of the results on this topic existing in the literature, and continues a line of investigation which was initiated by Bloom in 1985 and was recently developed further by the first author, Lacey,...

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...

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.

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...

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.

In this paper, we consider the following boundary value problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(t\right)\right)\right)\right)=f(t,u\left(t\right)),t\in [0,T],\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)=u\left(T\right)=0\hfill \\ D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(0\right)\right)=D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(T\right)\right)=0,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $0<\alpha \le 1$ and $f:[0,T]\times ℝ\to ℝ$ is a continuous function, $D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }$, $D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }$ are respectively the left and right fractional Riemann–Liouville derivatives and we prove the existence of at least one solution for this problem.

Let d > 0 and θ ∈ (0,1]. We consider homogeneous type spaces, ${(X,\varrho ,\mu )}_{d,\theta }$, which are variants of the well known homogeneous type spaces in the sense of Coifman and Weiss. We introduce fractional integrals and derivatives, and prove that the Besov spaces $B_{pq}^s\left(X\right)$ and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces $F_{pq}^s\left(X\right)$ have the lifting properties for |s| < θ. Moreover, we give explicit representations for the inverses of these fractional integrals and derivatives. By using these representations, we prove that the fractional...

We consider the summation equation, for $t\in {[\mu -2,\mu +b]}_{{\mathbb{N}}_{\mu -2}}$, $$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill y\left(t\right)={\gamma }_1\left(t\right)H_1\left(\sum _{i=1}^n{a}_{i}y\left({\xi }_i\right)\right)& +{\gamma }_2\left(t\right)H_2\left(\sum _{i=1}^m{b}_{i}y\left({\zeta }_i\right)\right)\hfill & \hfill +\lambda \sum _{s=0}^{b}G(t,s)f(s+\mu -1,y(s+\mu -1))\end{array}$$ in the case where the map $(t,s)\mapsto G(t,s)$ may change sign; here $\mu \in (1,2]$ is a parameter, which may be understood as the order of an associated discrete fractional boundary value problem. In spite of the fact that $G$ is allowed to change sign, by introducing a new cone we are able to establish the existence of at least one positive solution to this problem by imposing some growth conditions on the functions $H_1$ and $H_2$. Finally, as an application of the abstract existence...

For α ∈ (1,2) we consider the equation ${\partial }_{t}u={\Delta }^{\alpha /2}u+b·\nabla u$, where b is a time-independent, divergence-free singular vector field of the Morrey class $M{₁}^{1-\alpha }$. We show that if the Morrey norm ${\left|\right|b\left|\right|}_{M{₁}^{1-\alpha }}$ is sufficiently small, then the fundamental solution is globally in time comparable with the density of the isotropic stable process.

We consider highly accurate schemes for nonlinear time fractional Schrödinger equations (NTFSEs). While an $L1$ strategy is employed for approximating the Caputo fractional derivative in the temporal direction, compact CCD finite difference approaches are incorporated in the space. A highly effective hybrid $L1$-CCD method is implemented successfully. The accuracy of this linearized scheme is order six in space, and order $2-\gamma$ in time, where $0<\gamma <1$ is the order of the Caputo fractional derivative...

Recently, Cilleruelo, Kumchev, Luca, Rué and Shparlinski proved that for each integer a ≥ 2 the sequence of fractional parts ${aⁿ/n}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ is everywhere dense in the interval [0,1]. We prove a similar result for all Pisot numbers and Salem numbers α and show that for each c > 0 and each sufficiently large N, every subinterval of [0,1] of length $c{N}^{-0.475}$ contains at least one fractional part Q(αⁿ)/n, where Q is a nonconstant polynomial in ℤ[z] and n is an integer satisfying 1 ≤ n ≤ N.

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 $x⩾40c^{-5}{(1+b)}^{27/2}$.

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 $H_1=H_2$.

In this paper, we study the existence of integrable solutions for the set-valued differential equation of fractional type $(D^{\alpha ₙ}-{\sum }_{i=1}^{n-1}{a}_i{D}^{{\alpha }_i})x\left(t\right)\in F(t,x\left(\phi \left(t\right)\right))$, a.e. on (0,1), $I^{1-\alpha ₙ}x\left(0\right)=c$, αₙ ∈ (0,1), where F(t,·) is lower semicontinuous from ℝ into ℝ and F(·,·) is measurable. The corresponding single-valued problem will be considered first.

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 study a porous medium equation with nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. The precise model is $u_t=\nabla ·\left(u\nabla {(-\Delta )}^{-s}u\right),0<s<1$. The problem is posed in $\{x\in {ℝ}^n,t\in ℝ\}$ with nonnegative initial data $u(x,0)$ that are integrable and decay at infinity. A previous paper has established the existence of mass-preserving, nonnegative weak solutions satisfying energy estimates and finite propagation. As main results we establish the boundedness and $C^{\alpha }$ regularity of such weak solutions. Finally, we extend...

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.
