Let $M_{m,n}$ be the space of all complex m × n matrices. The generalized unit disc in $M_{m,n}$ is >br>    $R_{m,n}=Z\in M_{m,n}:I^{\left(m\right)}-ZZ*ispositivedefinite$. Here $I^{\left(m\right)}\in M_{m,m}$ is the unit matrix. If 1 ≤ p < ∞ and α > -1, then $L_{\alpha }^p\left(R_{m,n}\right)$ is defined to be the space $L^p{R}_{m,n};{\left[det(I^{\left(m\right)}-ZZ*)\right]}^{\alpha }d{\mu }_{m,n}\left(Z\right)$, where ${\mu }_{m,n}$ is the Lebesgue measure in $M_{m,n}$, and $H_{\alpha }^p\left(R_{m,n}\right)\subset L_{\alpha }^p\left(R_{m,n}\right)$ is the subspace of holomorphic functions. In [8,9] M. M. Djrbashian and A. H. Karapetyan proved that, if $Re\beta >(\alpha +1)/p-1$ (for 1 < p < ∞) and Re β ≥ α (for p = 1), then     $f\left(\right)=T_{m,n}^{\beta }\left(f\right)\left(\right),\in R_{m,n},$where $T_{m,n}^{\beta }$ is the integral operator defined by (0.13)-(0.14). In the present paper, given 1 ≤ p <...

In this paper, the boundedness of the Riesz potential generated by generalized shift operator $I_{B_k}^{\alpha }$ from the spaces $a=(L_{p_m,\nu }\left({ℝ}_n^k\right),a_m)$ to the spaces $a^{\text{'}}=(L_{q_m,\nu }\left({ℝ}_n^k\right),a_m^{\text{'}})$ is examined.

This paper is an extended version of an invited talk presented during the Orlicz Centenary Conference (Poznań, 2003). It contains a brief survey of applications to classical problems of analysis of the theory of the so-called PLS-spaces (in particular, spaces of distributions and real analytic functions). Sequential representations of the spaces and the theory of the functor Proj¹ are applied to questions like solvability of linear partial differential equations, existence of a solution depending...

The paper is devoted to an integral equation algorithm for studying the scattering of plane waves by multilayer diffraction gratings under oblique incidence. The scattering problem is described by a system of Helmholtz equations with piecewise constant coefficients in ${ℝ}^2$ coupled by special transmission conditions at the interfaces between different layers. Boundary integral methods lead to a system of singular integral equations, containing at least two equations for each interface. To deal with...
