Hardy's inequalities revisited
We prove some Hardy-type inequalities related to quasilinear second-order degenerate elliptic differential operators . If is a positive weight such that , then the Hardy-type inequalityholds. We find an explicit value of the constant involved, which, in most cases, results optimal. As particular case we derive Hardy inequalities for subelliptic operators on Carnot Groups.
A Hardy-type inequality with singular kernels at zero and on the boundary ∂Ω is proved. Sharpness of the inequality is obtained for Ω= B 1(0).
We establish new results on the space BV of functions with bounded variation. While it is well known that this space admits no unconditional basis, we show that it is almost characterized by wavelet expansions in the following sense: if a function f is in BV, its coefficient sequence in a BV normalized wavelet basis satisfies a class of weak-l1 type estimates. These weak estimates can be employed to prove many interesting results. We use them to identify the interpolation spaces between BV and Sobolev...
We construct the heat kernel of the 1/2-order Laplacian perturbed by a first-order gradient term in Hölder spaces and a zero-order potential term in a generalized Kato class, and obtain sharp two-sided estimates as well as a gradient estimate of the heat kernel, where the proof of the lower bound is based on a probabilistic approach.
The Henstock-Kurzweil and McShane product integrals generalize the notion of the Riemann product integral. We study properties of the corresponding indefinite integrals (i.e. product integrals considered as functions of the upper bound of integration). It is shown that the indefinite McShane product integral of a matrix-valued function is absolutely continuous. As a consequence we obtain that the McShane product integral of over exists and is invertible if and only if is Bochner integrable...
The generalized Riemann integral of Pfeffer (1991) is defined on all bounded subsets of , but it is additive only with respect to pairs of disjoint sets whose closures intersect in a set of -finite Hausdorff measure of codimension one. Imposing a stronger regularity condition on partitions of sets, we define a Riemann-type integral which satisfies the usual additivity condition and extends the integral of Pfeffer. The new integral is lipeomorphism-invariant and closed with respect to the formation...
A classical theorem of Hurewicz characterizes spaces with the Hurewicz covering property as those having bounded continuous images in the Baire space. We give a similar characterization for spaces which have the Hurewicz property hereditarily. We proceed to consider the class of Arhangel’skii spaces, for which every sheaf at a point can be amalgamated in a natural way. Let denote the space of continuous real-valued functions on with the topology of pointwise convergence. Our main result...
