We prove that, for a compact metric space X not reduced to a point, the existence of a bilinear mapping ⋄: C(X) × C(X) → C(X) satisfying ||f⋄g|| = ||f|| ||g|| for all f,g ∈ C(X) is equivalent to the uncountability of X. This is derived from a bilinear version of Holsztyński's theorem [3] on isometries of C(X)-spaces, which is also proved in the paper.
We study the Poincaré inequality in Sobolev spaces with variable exponent. Under a rather mild and sharp condition on the exponent p we show that the inequality holds. This condition is satisfied e.g. if the exponent p is continuous in the closure of a convex domain. We also give an essentially sharp condition for the exponent p as to when there exists an imbedding from the Sobolev space to the space of bounded functions.
An inequality, which generalizes and unifies some recently proved Carlson type inequalities, is proved. The inequality contains a certain number of “blocks” and it is shown that these blocks are, in a sense, optimal and cannot be removed or essentially changed. The proof is based on a special equivalent representation of a concave function (see [6, pp. 320-325]). Our Carlson type inequality is used to characterize Peetre’s interpolation functor (see [26]) and its Gagliardo closure on couples of...
In this note we present an affirmative answer to the problem posed by M. Baronti and C. Franchetti (oral communication) concerning a characterization of Lp-spaces among Orlicz sequence spaces. In fact, we show a more general characterization of Orlicz spaces isometric to Lp-spaces.
We present a characterization of continuous surjections, between compact metric spaces, admitting a regular averaging operator. Among its consequences, concrete continuous surjections from the Cantor set 𝓒 to [0,1] admitting regular averaging operators are exhibited. Moreover we show that the set of this type of continuous surjections from 𝓒 to [0,1] is dense in the supremum norm in the set of all continuous surjections. The non-metrizable case is also investigated. As a consequence, we obtain...
Let 1 ≤ p < ∞, k ≥ 1, and let Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ be an arbitrary open set. We prove a converse of the Calderón-Zygmund theorem that a function possesses an derivative of order k at almost every point x ∈ Ω and obtain a characterization of the space . Our method is based on distributional arguments and a pointwise inequality due to Bojarski and Hajłasz.
We characterize when weighted -spaces of holomorphic functions have the dual density condition, when the weights are radial and grow logarithmically.
