We present a novel approach for bounding the resolvent of $$H=-\Delta +i(A·\nabla +\nabla ·A)+V=:-\Delta +L1$$ for large energies. It is shown here that there exist a large integer $m$ and a large number ${\lambda }_0$ so that relative to the usual weighted $L^2$-norm, $$\parallel {\left(L{(-\Delta +(\lambda +i0))}^{-1}\right)}^m\parallel <\frac{1}{2}2$$ for all $\lambda >{\lambda }_0$. This requires suitable decay and smoothness conditions on $A,V$. The estimate (2) is trivial when $A=0$, but difficult for large $A$ since the gradient term exactly cancels the natural decay of the free resolvent. To obtain (2), we introduce a conical decomposition of the resolvent and...

Let L = -Δ + V be a Schrödinger operator in ${ℝ}^d$ and $H{¹}_L\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ be the Hardy type space associated to L. We investigate the bilinear operators T⁺ and T¯ defined by $T^{\pm }(f,g)\left(x\right)=\left(T₁f\right)\left(x\right)\left(T₂g\right)\left(x\right)\pm \left(T₂f\right)\left(x\right)\left(T₁g\right)\left(x\right)$, where T₁ and T₂ are Calderón-Zygmund operators related to L. Under some general conditions, we prove that either T⁺ or T¯ is bounded from $L^p\left({ℝ}^d\right)\times L^q\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ to $H{¹}_L\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ for 1 < p,q < ∞ with 1/p + 1/q = 1. Several examples satisfying these conditions are given. We also give a counterexample for which the classical Hardy space estimate fails. ...

We introduce the definition of $p$-limited completely continuous operators, $1\le p<\infty$. The question of whether a space of operators has the property that every $p$-limited subset is relative compact when the dual of the domain and the codomain have this property is studied using $p$-limited completely continuous evaluation operators.

Let A = -Δ + V be a Schrödinger operator on ${ℝ}^d$, d ≥ 3, where V is a nonnegative potential satisfying the reverse Hölder inequality with an exponent q > d/2. We say that f is an element of $H_A^p$ if the maximal function $su{p}_{t>0}\left|T_{t}f\left(x\right)\right|$ belongs to $L^p\left({ℝ}^d\right)$, where ${T_t}_{t>0}$ is the semigroup generated by -A. It is proved that for d/(d+1) < p ≤ 1 the space $H_A^p$ admits a special atomic decomposition.

Let ${K_t}_{t>0}$ be the semigroup of linear operators generated by a Schrödinger operator -L = Δ - V with V ≥ 0. We say that f belongs to $H{¹}_L$ if $\left|\right|su{p}_{t>0}|K_t{f\left(x\right)\left|\right||}_{L¹\left(dx\right)}<\infty$. We state conditions on V and $K_t$ which allow us to give an atomic characterization of the space $H{¹}_L$.

We prove trace inequalities of type $\left|\right|u^{\text{'}}{\left|\right|}_{L^2}^2+{\sum }_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}{k}_j|u\left(a_j\right){|}^2{\ge \lambda \left|\right|u\left|\right|}_{L^2}^2$ where $u\in H^1\left(ℝ\right)$, under suitable hypotheses on the sequences ${a_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$ and ${k_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$, with the first sequence increasing and the second bounded.

In this paper the hyponormal operators on Krein spaces are introduced. We state conditions for the hyponormality of bounded operators focusing, in particular, on those operators $T$ for which there exists a fundamental decomposition $𝕂={𝕂}^{+}\oplus {𝕂}^{-}$ of the Krein space $𝕂$ with ${𝕂}^{+}$ and ${𝕂}^{-}$ invariant under $T$.

Results of Emmanuele and Drewnowski are used to study the containment of c₀ in the space $K_{w*}(X*,Y)$, as well as the complementation of the space $K_{w*}(X*,Y)$ of w*-w compact operators in the space $L_{w*}(X*,Y)$ of w*-w operators from X* to Y.

Let d > 0 be a positive real number and n ≥ 1 a positive integer and define the operator $S_d$ and its associated global maximal operator $S*{*}_d$ by $\left(S_{d}f\right)(x,t)=1/\left(2\pi \right)ⁿ{\int }_{ℝⁿ}{e}^{ix·\xi }{e}^{{it\left|\xi \right|}^d}f̂\left(\xi \right)d\xi$, f ∈ (ℝⁿ), x ∈ ℝⁿ, t ∈ ℝ, $(S*{*}_{d}f)\left(x\right)=su{p}_{t\in ℝ}|1/\left(2\pi \right)ⁿ{\int }_{ℝⁿ}{e}^{ix·\xi }{e}^{{it\left|\xi \right|}^d}f̂\left(\xi \right)d\xi |$, f ∈ (ℝⁿ), x ∈ ℝⁿ, where f̂ is the Fourier transform of f and (ℝⁿ) is the Schwartz class of rapidly decreasing functions. If d = 2, $S_{d}f$ is the solution to the initial value problem for the free Schrödinger equation (cf. (1.3) in this paper). We prove that for radial functions f ∈ (ℝⁿ), if n ≥ 3, 0 < d ≤ 2, and p ≥...

Motivated by some recent results by Li and Stević, in this paper we prove that a two-parameter family of Cesàro averaging operators ${}^{b,c}$ is bounded on the Dirichlet spaces ${}_{p,a}$. We also give a short and direct proof of boundedness of ${}^{b,c}$ on the Hardy space $H^p$ for 1 < p < ∞.

The existence of at least one non-decreasing sequence of positive eigenvalues for the problem driven by both $p(·)$-Harmonic and $p(·)$-biharmonic operators $$\begin{array}{c}{\Delta }_{p\left(x\right)}^{2}u-{\Delta }_{p\left(x\right)}u=\lambda w\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{q\left(x\right)-2}u\text{in}\Omega ,\\ u\in W^{2,p(·)}\left(\Omega \right)\cap W_0^{1,p(·)}\left(\Omega \right),\end{array}$$ is proved by applying a local minimization and the theory of the generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces $L^{p(·)}\left(\Omega \right)$ and $W^{m,p(·)}\left(\Omega \right)$.

We consider the general Schrödinger operator $L=div\left(A\left(x\right){\nabla }_x\right)-\mu$ on a half-space in ℝⁿ, n ≥ 3. We prove that the L-Green function G exists and is comparable to the Laplace-Green function $G_{\Delta }$ provided that μ is in some class of signed Radon measures. The result extends the one proved on the half-plane in [9] and covers the case of Schrödinger operators with potentials in the Kato class at infinity $K{ₙ}^{\infty }$ considered by Zhao and Pinchover. As an application we study the cone ${}_L\left(ℝⁿ₊\right)$ of all positive L-solutions continuously...

We deal with a class on nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) with potentials $V\left(x\right)\sim {\left|x\right|}^{-\alpha }$, $0<\alpha <2$, and $K\left(x\right)\sim {\left|x\right|}^{-\beta }$, $\beta >0$. Working in weighted Sobolev spaces, the existence of ground states $v_{\epsilon }$ belonging to $W^{1,2}\left({ℝ}^N\right)$ is proved under the assumption that $\sigma <p<(N+2)/\left(N-2\right)$ for some $\sigma ={\sigma }_{N,\alpha ,\beta }$. Furthermore, it is shown that $v_{\epsilon }$ are spikes concentrating at a minimum point of $𝒜=V^{\theta }{K}^{-2/\left(p-1\right)}$, where $\theta =(p+1)/\left(p-1\right)-1/2$.

We prove an interpolatory estimate linking the directional Haar projection $P^{\left(\epsilon \right)}$ to the Riesz transform in the context of Bochner-Lebesgue spaces $L^p(ℝⁿ;X)$, 1 < p < ∞, provided X is a UMD-space. If ${\epsilon }_{i₀}=1$, the result is the inequality $\left|\right|P^{\left(\epsilon \right)}{u\left|\right|}_{L^p(ℝⁿ;X)}{\le C\left|\right|u\left|\right|}_{L^p(ℝⁿ;X)}^{1/}\left|\right|R_{i₀}u{\left|\right|}_{L^p(ℝⁿ;X)}^{1-1/}$, (1) where the constant C depends only on n, p, the UMD-constant of X and the Rademacher type of $L^p(ℝⁿ;X)$. In order to obtain the interpolatory result (1) we analyze stripe operators $S_{\lambda }$, λ ≥ 0, which are used as basic building blocks to dominate the directional Haar projection....

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operators ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ on ${ℝ}^{n₁}\times \cdots \times {ℝ}^{n_k}$ under the condition that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k/2}{(}^{n₁-1}\times \cdots {\times }^{n_k-1})$. The exponent k/2 is the best possible. This answers an open question posed by Y. Ding.

Let ${ℒ}_1=-\Delta +V$ be a Schrödinger operator and let ${ℒ}_2={(-\Delta )}^2+V^2$ be a Schrödinger type operator on ${ℝ}^n$ $(n\ge 5)$, where $V\ne 0$ is a nonnegative potential belonging to certain reverse Hölder class $B_s$ for $s\ge n/2$. The Hardy type space $H_{{ℒ}_2}^1$ is defined in terms of the maximal function with respect to the semigroup $\left\{{\mathrm{e}}^{-t{ℒ}_2}\right\}$ and it is identical to the Hardy space $H_{{ℒ}_1}^1$ established by Dziubański and Zienkiewicz. In this article, we prove the $L^p$-boundedness of the commutator ${ℛ}_b=bℛf-ℛ\left(bf\right)$ generated by the Riesz transform $ℛ={\nabla }^2{ℒ}_2^{-1/2}$, where $b\in {\mathrm{BMO}}_{\theta }\left(\rho \right)$, which is larger...

The case $p=1$ answers a question asked by Rosenthal in 1976.

For natural numbers n ≥ 3 and r a complete description of all natural bilinear operators $T*{\times }_{ℳfₙ}{T}^{(0,0)}⇝T^{(0,0)}{T}^{\left(r\right)}$ is presented. Next for natural numbers r and n ≥ 3 a full classification of all natural linear operators $T{*}_{|ℳfₙ}⇝T{T}^{\left(r\right)}$ is obtained.

We classify, up to isomorphism, the spaces of compact operators (E,F), where E and F are the Banach spaces of all continuous functions defined on the compact spaces $2^{}\times [0,\alpha ]$, the topological products of Cantor cubes $2^{}$ and intervals of ordinal numbers [0,α].

We consider the Schrödinger operator $-\Delta +V\left(x\right)$ on $H_0^1\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega$ is a given domain of ${ℝ}^d$. Our goal is to study some optimization problems where an optimal potential $V\ge 0$ has to be determined in some suitable admissible classes and for some suitable optimization criteria, like the energy or the Dirichlet eigenvalues.

Let 1 < p < ∞, q = p/(p-1) and for $f\in L^p(0,\infty )$ define $F\left(x\right)=(1/x){ʃ}_0^{x}f\left(t\right)dt$, x > 0. Moser’s Inequality states that there is a constant $C_p$ such that $su{p}_{a\le 1}su{p}_{f\in B_p}{ʃ}_0^{\infty }exp[a{x}^q{\left|F\left(x\right)\right|}^q-x]dx=C_p$ where $B_p$ is the unit ball of $L^p$. Moreover, the value a = 1 is sharp. We observe that $F=K_1$ f where the integral operator $K_1$ has a simple kernel K. We consider the question of for what kernels K(t,x), 0 ≤ t, x < ∞, this result can be extended, and proceed to discuss this when K is non-negative and homogeneous of degree -1. A sufficient condition on K is found for...

In this paper, we obtain new sufficient conditions for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ to be univalent in the open unit disc $𝒰$, where the functions $f_1,f_2,...,f_n$ belong to the classes $S^{*}(a,b)$ and $𝒦(a,b)$. The order of convexity for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ is also determined. Furthermore, and for $\beta =1$, we obtain sufficient conditions for the operators $F_n\left(z\right)$ and $G_n\left(z\right)$ to be in the class $𝒦(a,b)$. Several corollaries and consequences of the main results are also considered.
