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.

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 are interested in regularizing effect of the interplay between the coefficient of zero order term and the datum in some noncoercive integral functionals of the type $$𝒥\left(v\right)={\int }_{\Omega }j(x,v,\nabla v)\mathrm{d}x+{\int }_{\Omega }a\left(x\right){\left|v\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x-{\int }_{\Omega }fv\mathrm{d}x,v\in W_0^{1,2}\left(\Omega \right),$$ where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$, $j$ is a Carathéodory function such that $\xi \mapsto j(x,s,\xi )$ is convex, and there exist constants $0\le \tau <1$ and $M>0$ such that $$\frac{{\left|\xi \right|}^2}{{(1+|s\left|\right)}^{\tau }}\le j(x,s,\xi )\le M{\left|\xi \right|}^2$$ for almost all $x\in \Omega$, all $s\in ℝ$ and all $\xi \in {ℝ}^N$. We show that, even if $0<a\left(x\right)$ and $f\left(x\right)$ only belong to $L^1\left(\Omega \right)$, the interplay $$\left|f\right(x\left)\right|\le 2Qa\left(x\right)$$ implies the existence of a minimizer $u\in W_0^{1,2}\left(\Omega \right)$ which belongs to $L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$.

In 1955, Roth established that if $\xi$ is an irrational number such that there are a positive real number $\epsilon$ and infinitely many rational numbers $p/q$ with $q\ge 1$ and $|\xi -p/q|\&lt;q^{-2-\epsilon }$, then $\xi$ is transcendental. A few years later, Cugiani obtained the same conclusion with $\epsilon$ replaced by a function $q\mapsto \epsilon \left(q\right)$ that decreases very slowly to zero, provided that the sequence of rational solutions to $|\xi -p/q|\&lt;q^{-2-\epsilon \left(q\right)}$ is sufficiently dense, in a suitable sense. We give an alternative, and much simpler, proof of Cugiani’s Theorem and extend it...

Following a suggestion of W.M. Schmidt and L. Summerer, we construct a proper $3$-system $(P_1,P_2,P_3)$ with the property ${\overline{\varphi }}_3=1$. In fact, our method generalizes to provide $n$-systems with ${\overline{\varphi }}_n=1$, for arbitrary $n\ge 3$. We visualize our constructions with graphics. We further present explicit examples of numbers ${\xi }_1,...,{\xi }_{n-1}$ that induce the $n$-systems in question.

The seminal theorem of Cobham has given rise during the last 40 years to a lot of work about non-standard numeration systems and has been extended to many contexts. In this paper, as a result of fifteen years of improvements, we obtain a complete and general version for the so-called substitutive sequences. Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two multiplicatively independent Perron numbers. Then a sequence $x\in A^{\mathbb{N}}$, where $A$ is a finite alphabet, is both $\alpha$-substitutive and $\beta$-substitutive if and only if $x$ is ultimately...

Let $a₁,...,a_k$ be arbitrary nonzero real numbers. An $(a₁,...,a_k)$-decomposition of a function f:ℝ → ℝ is a sum $f₁+\cdots +f_k=f$ where $f_i:ℝ\to ℝ$ is an $a_i$-periodic function. Such a decomposition is not unique because there are several solutions of the equation $h₁+\cdots +h_k=0$ with $h_i:ℝ\to ℝa_i$-periodic. We will give solutions of this equation with a certain simple structure (trivial solutions) and study whether there exist other solutions or not. If not, we say that the $(a₁,...,a_k)$-decomposition is essentially unique. We characterize those periods for which essential...

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 $A_{\alpha }f\left(x\right)={\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|}^{-\alpha /n}{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ 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...

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

A nonincreasing sequence $\pi =(d_1,...,d_n)$ of nonnegative integers is a graphic sequence if it is realizable by a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. In this case, $G$ is referred to as a realization of $\pi$. Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, A. Busch et al. (2014) introduced the potential-Ramsey number of $G_1$ and $G_2$, denoted by $r_{\mathrm{pot}}(G_1,G_2)$, as the smallest nonnegative integer $m$ such that for every $m$-term graphic sequence $\pi$, there is a realization $G$ of $\pi$ with $G_1\subseteq G$ or with $G_2\subseteq \overline{G}$, where $\overline{G}$ is the complement of $G$. For $t\ge 2$ and $0\le k\le \lfloor \frac{t}{2}\rfloor$, let $K_t^{-k}$ be the graph...

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

The aim of this paper is to characterize the $L^p-L^q$ boundedness of two classes of integral operators from $L^p(𝒰,\mathrm{d}{V}_{\alpha })$ to $L^q(𝒰,\mathrm{d}{V}_{\beta })$ in terms of the parameters $a$, $b$, $c$, $p$, $q$ and $\alpha$, $\beta$, where $𝒰$ is the Siegel upper half-space. The results in the presented paper generalize a corresponding result given in C. Liu, Y. Liu, P. Hu, L. Zhou (2019).

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 show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

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.

For $X,Y\in {𝐌}_{n,m}$ it is said that $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$, and we write $X{\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$, if there exists an $n$-by-$n$ upper triangular g-row stochastic matrix $R$ such that $X=RY$. Define the relation ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ as follows. $X{\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$ if $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$ and $Y$ is gut-majorized by $X$. The (strong) linear preservers of ${\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and strong linear preservers of this relation on ${𝐌}_{n,m}$ have been characterized before. This paper characterizes all (strong) linear preservers and strong linear preservers of ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and ${𝐌}_{n,m}$.

Let $f^j={\sum }_k{a}_{k}f(2^{j+1}x-2k)$, where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in ${ℝ}^n$ having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and $a_k\in ℂ$. Let $A_{pq}^s$ be either $B_{pq}^s$ or $F_{pq}^s$ (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on ${ℝ}^n.$ The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions $\parallel f^j|A_{pq}^s\parallel$ is equivalent to $2^{j(s-n/p)}({\sum }_k|a_k{|}^p{)}^{1/p}\parallel f|A_{pq}^s\parallel$.

We prove that for a normed linear space $X$, if $f_1:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconvex with modulus $\omega$, $f_2:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconcave with modulus $\omega$ and $f_1\le f_2$, then there exists $f\in C^{1,\omega }\left(X\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. Using this result we prove a generalization of Ilmanen lemma (which deals with the case $\omega \left(t\right)=t$) to the case of an arbitrary nontrivial modulus $\omega$. This generalization (where a $C_{loc}^{1,\omega }$ function is inserted) gives a positive answer to a problem formulated by A. Fathi and M. Zavidovique in 2010.

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.
