It is proved (independently of the result of Holmes [Fund. Math. 140 (1992)]) that the dual space of the uniform closure $CFL{(}_r)$ of the linear span of the maps x ↦ d(x,a) - d(x,b), where d is the metric of the Urysohn space ${}_r$ of diameter r, is (isometrically if r = +∞) isomorphic to the space $LIP{(}_r)$ of equivalence classes of all real-valued Lipschitz maps on ${}_r$. The space of all signed (real-valued) Borel measures on ${}_r$ is isometrically embedded in the dual space of $CFL{(}_r)$ and it is shown that the image of the embedding...

We give a characterization of the globally Lipschitzian composition operators acting in the space $B{V}_p^2[a,b]$

We show that the Hölder exponent and the chirp exponent of a function can be prescribed simultaneously on a set of full measure, if they are both lower limits of continuous functions. We also show that this result is optimal: In general, Hölder and chirp exponents cannot be prescribed outside a set of Hausdorff dimension less than one. The direct part of the proof consists in an explicit construction of a function determined by its orthonormal wavelet coefficients; the optimality is the direct consequence...
