In this article we prove for $1<p<\infty$ the existence of the $L^p$-Helmholtz projection in finite cylinders $\Omega$. More precisely, $\Omega$ is considered to be given as the Cartesian product of a cube and a bounded domain $V$ having $C^1$-boundary. Adapting an approach of Farwig (2003), operator-valued Fourier series are used to solve a related partial periodic weak Neumann problem. By reflection techniques the weak Neumann problem in $\Omega$ is solved, which implies existence and a representation of the $L^p$-Helmholtz projection as...

We obtain a representation as martingale transform operators for the rearrangement and shift operators introduced by T. Figiel. The martingale transforms and the underlying sigma algebras are obtained explicitly by combinatorial means. The known norm estimates for those operators are a direct consequence of our representation.

Let (S, ∑, m) be any atomless finite measure space, and X any Banach space containing a copy of $c_0$. Then the Bochner space $L^1(m;X)$ is uncomplemented in ccabv(∑,m;X), the Banach space of all m-continuous vector measures that are of bounded variation and have a relatively compact range; and ccabv(∑,m;X) is uncomplemented in cabv(∑,m;X). It is conjectured that this should generalize to all Banach spaces X without the Radon-Nikodym property.

A characterization of property $\left(\beta \right)$ of an arbitrary Banach space is given. Next it is proved that the Orlicz-Bochner sequence space $l_{\Phi }\left(X\right)$ has the property $\left(\beta \right)$ if and only if both spaces $l_{\Phi }$ and $X$ have it also. In particular the Lebesgue-Bochner sequence space $l_p\left(X\right)$ has the property $\left(\beta \right)$ iff $X$ has the property $\left(\beta \right)$. As a corollary we also obtain a theorem proved directly in [5] which states that in Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm the property $\left(\beta \right)$, nearly uniform convexity, the drop property and...

We show that the range of a contractive projection on a Lebesgue-Bochner space of Hilbert valued functions Lp(H) is isometric to a lp-direct sum of Hilbert-valued Lp-spaces. We explicit the structure of contractive projections. As a consequence for every 1 &lt; p &lt; ∞ the class Cp of lp-direct sums of Hilbert-valued Lp-spaces is axiomatizable (in the class of all Banach spaces).

Let ⟨X,Y⟩ be a duality pair of M-spaces X,Y of measurable functions from Ω ⊂ ℝ ⁿ into ${ℝ}^d$. The paper deals with Y-weak cluster points ϕ̅ of the sequence $\varphi (·,z_j\left(·\right))$ in X, where $z_j:\Omega \to {ℝ}^m$ is measurable for j ∈ ℕ and $\varphi :\Omega \times {ℝ}^m\to {ℝ}^d$ is a Carathéodory function. We obtain general sufficient conditions, under which, for some negligible set $A_{\varphi }$, the integral $I(\varphi ,{\nu }_x):={\int }_{{ℝ}^m}\varphi (x,\lambda )d{\nu }_x\left(\lambda \right)$ exists for $x\in \Omega \setminus A_{\varphi }$ and $\varphi ̅\left(x\right)=I(\varphi ,{\nu }_x)$ on $\Omega \setminus A_{\varphi }$, where $\nu ={{\nu }_x}_{x\in \Omega }$ is a measurable-dependent family of Radon probability measures on ${ℝ}^m$.

Compactness in the space $L^p(0,T;B)$, $B$ being a separable Banach space, has been deeply investigated by J.P. Aubin (1963), J.L. Lions (1961, 1969), J. Simon (1987), and, more recently, by J.M. Rakotoson and R. Temam (2001), who have provided various criteria for relative compactness, which turn out to be crucial tools in the existence proof of solutions to several abstract time dependent problems related to evolutionary PDEs. In the present paper, the problem is examined in view of Young measure theory: exploiting...

Let $L^{\varphi }\left(X\right)$ be an Orlicz-Bochner space defined by an Orlicz function $\varphi$ taking only finite values (not necessarily convex) over a $\sigma$-finite atomless measure space. It is proved that the topological dual $L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}^{*}$ of $L^{\varphi }\left(X\right)$ can be represented in the form: $L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}^{*}=L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}_n^{\sim }\oplus L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}_s^{\sim }$, where $L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}_n^{\sim }$ and $L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}_s^{\sim }$ denote the order continuous dual and the singular dual of $L^{\varphi }\left(X\right)$ respectively. The spaces $L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}^{*}$, $L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}_n^{\sim }$ and $L^{\varphi }{\left(X\right)}_s^{\sim }$ are examined by means of the H. Nakano’s theory of conjugate modulars. (Studia Mathematica 31 (1968), 439–449). The well known results of the duality theory...

The idempotent multipliers on Sobolev spaces on the torus in the L¹ and uniform norms are characterized in terms of the coset ring of the dual group of the torus. This result is deduced from a more general theorem concerning certain translation invariant subspaces of vector-valued function spaces on tori.
