We prove that the classical Prandtl, Ishlinskii and Preisach hysteresis operators are continuous in Sobolev spaces for , (localy) Lipschitz continuous in and discontinuous in for arbitrary . Examples show that this result is optimal.
We study the continuity of pseudo-differential operators on Bessel potential spaces Hs|p (Rn ), and on the corresponding Besov spaces B^(s,q)p (R ^n). The modulus of continuity ω we use is assumed to satisfy j≥0, ∑ [ω(2−j )Ω(2j )]2 < ∞ where Ω is a suitable positive function.
We study the continuity of the generalized Drazin inverse for elements of Banach algebras and bounded linear operators on Banach spaces. This work extends the results obtained by the second author on the conventional Drazin inverse.
We prove that the vector play operator with a uniformly prox-regular characteristic set of constraints is continuous with respect to the -norm and to the -strict metric in the space of rectifiable curves, i.e., in the space of continuous functions of bounded variation. We do not assume any further regularity of the characteristic set. We also prove that the non-convex play operator is rate independent.
This paper characterizes the Banach algebras of continuous functions on which the spectral factorization mapping 𝔖 is continuous or bounded. It is shown that 𝔖 is continuous if and only if the Riesz projection is bounded on the algebra, and that 𝔖 is bounded only if the algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of continuous functions. Consequently, 𝔖 can never be both continuous and bounded, on any algebra under consideration.
Let denote the generator of the rotation group in the space , where denotes the unit circle. We show that the stochastic Cauchy problem where is a standard Brownian motion and is fixed, has a weak solution if and only if the stochastic convolution process has a continuous modification, and that in this situation the weak solution has a continuous modification. In combination with a recent result of Brzeźniak, Peszat and Zabczyk it follows that (1) fails to have a weak solution for all...
