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 $W^{s,p}\cap W^{1,sp}$.

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 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.

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...

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...

Let $d$ be a square-free positive integer and $h\left(d\right)$ be the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}\left(\sqrt{d}\right).$ We give an explicit lower bound for $h(n^2+r)$, where $r=1,4$. Ankeny and Chowla proved that if $g>1$ is a natural number and $d=n^{2g}+1$ is a square-free integer, then $g\mid h\left(d\right)$ whenever $n>4$. Applying our lower bounds, we show that there does not exist any natural number $n>1$ such that $h(n^{2g}+1)=g$. We also obtain a similar result for the family $\mathbb{Q}\left(\sqrt{n^{2g}+4}\right)$. As another application, we deduce some criteria for a class group of prime power order to be...

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 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.

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...

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.

For graphs $G$, $F_1$, $F_2$, we write $G\to (F_1,F_2)$ if for every red-blue colouring of the edge set of $G$ we have a red copy of $F_1$ or a blue copy of $F_2$ in $G$. The size Ramsey number $\widehat{r}(F_1,F_2)$ is the minimum number of edges of a graph $G$ such that $G\to (F_1,F_2)$. Erdős and Faudree proved that for the cycle $C_n$ of length $n$ and for $t\ge 2$ matchings $t{K}_2$, the size Ramsey number $\widehat{r}(t{K}_2,C_n)<n+(4t+3)\sqrt{n}$. We improve their upper bound for $t=2$ and $t=3$ by showing that $\widehat{r}(2K_2,C_n)\le n+2\sqrt{3n}+9$ for $n\ge 12$ and $\widehat{r}(3K_2,C_n)<n+6\sqrt{n}+9$ for $n\ge 25$.

We study the presence of copies of $l_p^n$’s uniformly in the spaces ${\Pi }_2(C[0,1],X)$ and ${\Pi }_1(C[0,1],X)$. By using Dvoretzky’s theorem we deduce that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional Banach space, then ${\Pi }_2(C[0,1],X)$ contains $\lambda \sqrt{2}$-uniformly copies of $l_{\infty }^n$’s and ${\Pi }_1(C[0,1],X)$ contains $\lambda$-uniformly copies of $l_2^n$’s for all $\lambda >1$. As an application, we show that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional Banach space then the spaces ${\Pi }_2(C[0,1],X)$ and ${\Pi }_1(C[0,1],X)$ are distinct, extending the well-known result that the spaces ${\Pi }_2(C[0,1],X)$ and $𝒩\left(C\right[0,1],X)$ are distinct.

Let $d$ be a square free integer and $L_d:=\mathbb{Q}({\zeta }_8,\sqrt{d})$. In the present work we determine all the fields $L_d$ such that the $2$-class group, ${\mathrm{Cl}}_2\left(L_d\right)$, of $L_d$ is of type $(2,4)$ or $(2,2,2)$.
