The Cauchy problem for the system of linear generalized ordinary differential equations in the J. Kurzweil sense $\mathrm{d}x\left(t\right)=\mathrm{d}{A}_0\left(t\right)·x\left(t\right)+\mathrm{d}{f}_0\left(t\right)$, $x\left(t_0\right)=c_0$ $(t\in I)$ with a unique solution $x_0$ is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for a sequence of the Cauchy problems $\mathrm{d}x\left(t\right)=\mathrm{d}{A}_k\left(t\right)·x\left(t\right)+\mathrm{d}{f}_k\left(t\right)$, $x\left(t_k\right)=c_k$ $(k=1,2,\cdots )$ to have a unique solution $x_k$ for any sufficiently large $k$ such that $x_k\left(t\right)\to x_0\left(t\right)$ uniformly on $I$. Presented results are analogous to the sufficient conditions due to Z. Opial for linear ordinary differential systems....

The Cauchy problem for first order system $L(t,x,{\partial }_t,{\partial }_x)$ is known to be well-posed in $L^2$ when it admits a microlocal symmetrizer $S(t,x,\xi )$ which is smooth in $\xi$ and Lipschitz continuous in $(t,x)$. This paper contains three main results. First we show that a Lipschitz smoothness globally in $(t,x,\xi )$ is sufficient. Second, we show that the existence of symmetrizers with a given smoothness is equivalent to the existence of having the same smoothness. This notion was first introduced in []. This is the key point to prove...

In this paper we study existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Hammerstein equation $$u\left(x\right)=v\left(x\right)+\lambda {\int }_{I_a^b}K(x,y)f(y,u\left(y\right))dy$$ in the space of function of bounded total $\varphi$-variation in the sense of Hardy-Vitali-Tonelli, where $\lambda \in ℝ$, $K:I_a^b\times I_a^b⟶ℝ$ and $f:I_a^b\times ℝ⟶ℝ$ are suitable functions. The existence and uniqueness of solutions are proved by means of the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative and the Banach contraction mapping principle.

Let G be a locally compact group. We use the canonical operator space structure on the spaces $L^p\left(G\right)$ for p ∈ [1,∞] introduced by G. Pisier to define operator space analogues $O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ of the classical Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras $A_p\left(G\right)$. If p ∈ (1,∞) is arbitrary, then $A_p\left(G\right)\subset O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ and the inclusion is a contraction; if p = 2, then OA₂(G) ≅ A(G) as Banach spaces, but not necessarily as operator spaces. We show that $O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ is a completely contractive Banach algebra for each p ∈ (1,∞), and that $O{A}_q\left(G\right)\subset O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ completely contractively...

We present a variation-of-constants formula for functional differential equations of the form $$\dot{y}=ℒ\left(t\right)y_t+f(y_t,t),y_{t_0}=\varphi ,$$ where $ℒ$ is a bounded linear operator and $\varphi$ is a regulated function. Unlike the result by G. Shanholt (1972), where the functions involved are continuous, the novelty here is that the application $t\mapsto f(y_t,t)$ is Kurzweil integrable with $t$ in an interval of $ℝ$, for each regulated function $y$. This means that $t\mapsto f(y_t,t)$ may admit not only many discontinuities, but it can also be highly oscillating and yet, we are...

Given a Banach space X, for n ∈ ℕ and p ∈ (1,∞) we investigate the smallest constant ∈ (0,∞) for which every n-tuple of functions f₁,...,fₙ: -1,1ⁿ → X satisfies ${\int }_{-1,1ⁿ}\left|\right|{\sum }_{j=1}^n{\partial }_j{f}_j{\left(\epsilon \right)\left|\right|}^{p}d\mu \left(\epsilon \right){\le }^p{\int }_{-1,1ⁿ}{\int }_{-1,1ⁿ}\left|\right|{\sum }_{j=1}^n{\delta }_j\Delta f_j\left(\epsilon \right){\left|\right|}^{p}d\mu \left(\epsilon \right)d\mu \left(\delta \right)$, where μ is the uniform probability measure on the discrete hypercube -1,1ⁿ, and ${{\partial }_j}_{j=1}^n$ and $\Delta ={\sum }_{j=1}^n{\partial }_j$ are the hypercube partial derivatives and the hypercube Laplacian, respectively. Denoting this constant by ${ⁿ}_p\left(X\right)$, we show that ${ⁿ}_p\left(X\right)\le {\sum }_{k=1}^{n}1/k$ for every Banach space (X,||·||). This extends the classical Pisier inequality, which corresponds to the special...

The aim of this paper is to establish an existence and uniqueness result for a class of the set functional differential equations of neutral type$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{H}X\left(t\right)=F(t,X_t,D_H{X}_t),\hfill \\ {X|}_{[-r,0]}=\Psi ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $F:[0,b]\times {𝒞}_0\times {𝔏}_0^1\to K_c\left(E\right)$ is a given function, $K_c\left(E\right)$ is the family of all nonempty compact and convex subsets of a separable Banach space $E$, ${𝒞}_0$ denotes the space of all continuous set-valued functions $X$ from $[-r,0]$ into $K_c\left(E\right)$, ${𝔏}_0^1$ is the space of all integrally bounded set-valued functions $X:[-r,0]\to K_c\left(E\right)$, $\Psi \in {𝒞}_0$ and $D_H$ is the Hukuhara derivative. The continuous dependence of solutions on initial...

We show the existence of weak solutions in the extended sense of the Cauchy problem for the cubic fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the initial data $u_0\in X$, where $X\in \{M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right),H^{\sigma }\left(𝕋\right),H^{s_1}\left(ℝ\right)+H^{s_2}\left(𝕋\right)\}$ and $q\in [1,2]$, $s\ge 0$, or $\sigma \ge 0$, or $s_2\ge s_1\ge 0$. Moreover, if $M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right)\hookrightarrow L^3\left(ℝ\right)$, or if $\sigma \ge \frac{1}{6}$, or if $s_1\ge \frac{1}{6}$ and $s_2>\frac{1}{2}$ we show that the Cauchy problem is unconditionally wellposed in $X$. Similar results hold true for all higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equations and mixed order NLS due to a factorization property of the corresponding phase factors. For the proof we employ...

Let Ω be an open subset of ${ℝ}^d$ with 0 ∈ Ω. Furthermore, let $H_{\Omega }=-{\sum }_{i,j=1}^d{\partial }_i{c}_{ij}{\partial }_j$ be a second-order partial differential operator with domain $C_c^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$ where the coefficients $c_{ij}\in W_{loc}^{1,\infty }\left(\Omega ̅\right)$ are real, $c_{ij}=c_{ji}$ and the coefficient matrix $C=\left(c_{ij}\right)$ satisfies bounds 0 < C(x) ≤ c(|x|)I for all x ∈ Ω. If ${\int }_0^{\infty }ds{s}^{d/2}{e}^{-\lambda \mu \left(s\right)²}<\infty$ for some λ > 0 where $\mu \left(s\right)={\int }_0^{s}dtc{\left(t\right)}^{-1/2}$ then we establish that $H_{\Omega }$ is L₁-unique, i.e. it has a unique L₁-extension which generates a continuous semigroup, if and only if it is Markov unique, i.e. it has a unique L₂-extension which generates a submarkovian semigroup....

We study the Cauchy problem for the 3D MHD system with damping terms ${\epsilon \left|u\right|}^{\alpha -1}u$ and ${\delta \left|b\right|}^{\beta -1}b$ (ε, δ > 0 and α, β ≥ 1), and show that the strong solution exists globally for any α, β > 3. This improves the previous results significantly.

We take another approach to the well known theorem of Korovkin, in the following situation: X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces, M is a unital subspace of the Banach space C(X) (respectively, $C_{ℝ}\left(X\right)$) of all complex-valued (resp., real-valued) continuous functions on X, S ⊂ M a complex (resp., real) function space on X, ϕₙ a sequence of unital linear contractions from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$), and ${\varphi }_{\infty }$ a linear isometry from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$). We show, under the assumption that ${\Pi }_N\subset {\Pi }_T$, where ${\Pi }_N$ is...
