It is proved that if ${\phi }_n$ is a complete orthonormal system of bounded functions and ɛ>0, then there exists a measurable set E ⊂ [0,1] with measure |E|>1-ɛ, a measurable function μ(x), 0 < μ(x) ≤ 1, μ(x) ≡ 1 on E, and a series of the form ${\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)$, where $c_k\in l_q$ for all q>2, with the following properties: 1. For any p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]=f:{ʃ}_0^1{\left|f\left(x\right)\right|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx<\infty$ there are numbers ${\varepsilon }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\varepsilon }_k$ = 1 or 0, such that $li{m}_{n\to \infty }{ʃ}_0^1{|{\sum }_{k=1}^n{\varepsilon }_k{c}_k{\phi }_k\left(x\right)-f\left(x\right)|}^p\mu \left(x\right)dx=0.$ 2. For every p ∈ [1,2) and $f\in L_{\mu }^p[0,1]$ there are a function $g\in L^1[0,1]$ with g(x) = f(x) on E and numbers ${\delta }_k$, k=1,2,…, ${\delta }_k=1$ or 0,...

Let $f\left(x\right)$ be a power series ${\sum }_{n\ge 1}\zeta \left(n\right)x^{e\left(n\right)}$, where $\left(e\right(n\left)\right)$ is a strictly increasing linear recurrence sequence of non-negative integers, and $\left(\zeta \right(n\left)\right)$ a sequence of roots of unity in ${\overline{\mathbb{Q}}}_p$ satisfying an appropriate technical condition. Then we are mainly interested in characterizing the algebraic independence over ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ of the elements $f\left({\alpha }_1\right),...,$ $f\left({\alpha }_t\right)$ from ${ℂ}_p$ in terms of the distinct ${\alpha }_1,...,{\alpha }_t\in {\mathbb{Q}}_p$ satisfying $0\&lt;|{\alpha }_{\tau }{|}_p\&lt;1$ for $\tau =1,...,t$. A striking application of our basic result says that, in the case $e\left(n\right)=n$, the set $\left\{f\left(\alpha \right)\right|\alpha \in {\mathbb{Q}}_p,0\&lt;|\alpha {|}_p\&lt;1\}$ is algebraically independent over ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ if...

Let m: ℝ → ℝ be a function of bounded variation. We prove the $L^p\left(ℝ\right)$-boundedness, 1 < p < ∞, of the one-dimensional integral operator defined by $T_{m}f\left(x\right)=p.v.\int k(x-y)m(x+y)f\left(y\right)dy$ where $k\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}{2}^j{\phi }_j\left(2^{j}x\right)$ for a family of functions ${{\phi }_j}_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}$ satisfying conditions (1.1)-(1.3) given below.

Let $Q={\left(Q_k\right)}_{k\ge 0},Q_0=1,Q_{k+1}=q_k{Q}_k,q_k\ge 2$, be a Cantor scale, ${𝐙}_Q$ the compact projective limit group of the groups $𝐙/Q_k𝐙$, identified to ${\prod }_{0\le j\le k-1}𝐙/q_j𝐙$, and let $\mu$ be its normalized Haar measure. To an element $x=\{a_0,a_1,a_2,\cdots \},0\le a_k\le q_{k+1}-1$, of ${𝐙}_Q$ we associate the sequence of integral valued random variables $x_k={\sum }_{0\le j\le k}{a}_j{Q}_j$. The main result of this article is that, given a complex $𝐐$-multiplicative function $g$ of modulus $1$, we have $$\underset{x_k\to x}{lim}(\frac{1}{x_k}\sum _{n\le x_k-1}g\left(n\right)-\prod _{0\le j\le k}\frac{1}{q_j}\sum _{0\le a\le q_j}g\left(a{Q}_j\right))=0\mu \text{-a.e}.$$

We give a counterexample showing that $\overline{(I-T*)L_{\infty }}\cap L_{\infty }^{+}=0$ does not imply the existence of a strictly positive function u in $L_1$ with Tu = u, where T is a power bounded positive linear operator on $L_1$ of a σ-finite measure space. This settles a conjecture by Brunel, Horowitz, and Lin.

Let $q,q_1,\cdots ,q_s\ge 2$ be integers, and let ${\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,\cdots$ be a sequence of real numbers. In this paper we prove that the lower bound of the discrepancy of the double sequence $${(\left\{{\alpha }_m{q}^n\right\},\cdots ,\left\{{\alpha }_{m+s-1}{q}^n\right\})}_{m,n=1}^{MN}$$ coincides (up to a logarithmic factor) with the lower bound of the discrepancy of ordinary sequences ${\left(xn\right)}_{n=1}^{MN}$ in $s$-dimensional unit cube $(s,M,N=1,2,\cdots )$. We also find a lower bound of the discrepancy (up to a logarithmic factor) of the sequence ${(\left\{{\alpha }_1{q}_1^n\right\},\cdots ,\left\{{\alpha }_s{q}_s^n\right\})}_{n=1}^N$ (Korobov’s problem).

We prove that for every closed locally convex subspace E of $L_0$ and for any continuous linear operator T from $L_0$ to $L_0/E$ there is a continuous linear operator S from $L_0$ to $L_0$ such that T = QS where Q is the quotient map from $L_0$ to $L_0/E$.

$(s_{jk}:j,k=0,1,...)$ be a double sequence of real numbers which is summable (C,1,1) to a finite limit. We give necessary and sufficient conditions under which $\left(s_{jk}\right)$ converges in Pringsheim’s sense. These conditions are satisfied if $\left(s_{jk}\right)$ is slowly decreasing in certain senses defined in this paper. Among other things we deduce the following Tauberian theorem of Landau and Hardy type: If $\left(s_{jk}\right)$ is summable (C,1,1) to a finite limit and there exist constants $n_1>0$ and H such that $jk(s_{jk}-s_{j-1,k}-s_{j-1,k}+s_{j-1,k-1})\ge -H$, $j(s_{jk}-s_{j-1,k})\ge -H$ and $k(s_{jk}-s_{j,k-1})\ge -H$ whenever $j,k>n_1$, then...

We investigate in a geometrical way the point sets of  $ℝ$  obtained by the  $\beta$-numeration that are the  $\beta$-integers  ${\mathbb{Z}}_{\beta }\subset \mathbb{Z}\left[\beta \right]$  where  $\beta$  is a Perron number. We show that there exist two canonical cut-and-project schemes associated with the  $\beta$-numeration, allowing to lift up the  $\beta$-integers to some points of the lattice  ${\mathbb{Z}}^m$  ($m=$  degree of  $\beta$) lying about the dominant eigenspace of the companion matrix of  $\beta$ . When  $\beta$  is in particular a Pisot number, this framework gives another proof of the fact...

We consider operators of the form $\left(\Omega f\right)\left(y\right)={ʃ}_{-\infty }^{\infty }\Omega (y,u)f\left(u\right)du$ with Ω(y,u) = K(y,u)h(y-u), where K is a Calderón-Zygmund kernel and $h\in L^{\infty }$ (see (0.1) and (0.2)). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for such operators to map the Besov space ${Ḃ}_1^{0,1}$ (= B) into itself. In particular, all operators with $h\left(y\right)=e^{{i\left|y\right|}^a}$, a > 0, a ≠ 1, map B into itself.
