In this paper, we give an overview of some topics involving behavior of homeomorphisms and ways in which real analysis can arise in geometric settings.

The aim of these lectures is to present a survey of some results on spaces of functions with dominating mixed smoothness. These results concern joint work with Winfried Sickel and Miroslav Krbec as well as the work which has been done by Jan Vybíral within his thesis. The first goal is to discuss the Fourier-analytical approach, equivalent characterizations with the help of derivatives and differences, local means, atomic and wavelet decompositions. Secondly, on this basis we study approximation...

On décrit de diverses façons les fermetures respectives, dans l’espace $BMO\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ et dans sa version locale $bmo\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, de l’ensemble des fonctions à support compact et de l’ensemble des fonctions $C^{\infty }$ à support compact. Certains de ces résultats sont nouveaux; d’autres, considérés comme classiques, ne semblent pas avoir fait l’objet de publication. Des contre-exemples permettent de vérifier la diversité des sous-espaces considérés.

Elementary estimates for the Riesz kernel and for its derivative are given. Using these we show that the maximal operator of the Riesz means of a tempered distribution is bounded from $H_p\left(ℝ\right)$ to $L_p\left(ℝ\right)$ (1/(α+1) < p < ∞) and is of weak type (1,1), where $H_p\left(ℝ\right)$ is the classical Hardy space. As a consequence we deduce that the Riesz means of a function $⨍\in L_1\left(ℝ\right)$ converge a.e. to ⨍. Moreover, we prove that the Riesz means are uniformly bounded on $H_p\left(ℝ\right)$ whenever 1/(α+1) < p < ∞. Thus, in case $⨍\in H_p\left(ℝ\right)$, the Riesz means converge...
