This work is concerned with the study of stochastic processes which are continuous in probability, over various parameter spaces, from the point of view of approximation and extension. A stochastic version of the classical theorem of Mergelyan on polynomial approximation is shown to be valid for subsets of the plane whose boundaries are sets of rational approximation. In a similar vein, one can obtain a version in the context of continuity in probability of the theorem of Arakelyan on the uniform...

We prove a Strichartz inequality for a system of orthonormal functions, with an optimal behavior of the constant in the limit of a large number of functions. The estimate generalizes the usual Strichartz inequality, in the same fashion as the Lieb-Thirring inequality generalizes the Sobolev inequality. As an application, we consider the Schrödinger equation in a time-dependent potential and we show the existence of the wave operator in Schatten spaces.

Let $X$ be a completely regular Hausdorff space, $E$ a real Banach space, and let $C_b(X,E)$ be the space of all $E$-valued bounded continuous functions on $X$. We study linear operators from $C_b(X,E)$ endowed with the strict topologies ${\beta }_z$$(z=\sigma ,...$

Let ${\left\{\beta \left(n\right)\right\}}_{n=0}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of positive numbers and $1\le p<\infty$. We consider the space $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ of all power series $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }\widehat{f}\left(n\right)z^n$ such that ${\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\left|\widehat{f}\left(n\right)\right|}^p\beta {\left(n\right)}^p<\infty$. We investigate strict cyclicity of $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$, the weakly closed algebra generated by the operator of multiplication by $z$ acting on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$, and determine the maximal ideal space, the dual space and the reflexivity of the algebra $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$. We also give a necessary condition for a composition operator to be bounded on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ when $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$ is strictly cyclic.

Properties of strictly singular operators have recently become of topical interest because the work of Gowers and Maurey in [GM1] and [GM2] gives (among many other brilliant and surprising results, such as those in [G1] and [G2]) Banach spaces on which every continuous operator is of form λ I + S, where S is strictly singular. So if strictly singular operators had invariant subspaces, such spaces would have the property that all operators on them had invariant subspaces. However, in this paper we...

An integral Markov operator $P$ appearing in biomathematics is investigated. This operator acts on the space of probabilistic Borel measures. Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probabilistic Borel measures. Sufficient conditions for weak and strong convergence of the sequence $(P^n\mu -P^n\nu )$ to $0$ are given.

Let $T:L^p\left(\Omega \right)\to L^p\left(\Omega \right)$ be a positive contraction, with $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Assume that $T$ is analytic, that is, there exists a constant $K\ge 0$ such that $\parallel T^n-T^{n-1}\parallel \le K/n$ for any integer $n\ge 1$. Let $2\&lt;q\&lt;\infty$ and let $v^q$ be the space of all complex sequences with a finite strong $q$-variation. We show that for any $x\in L^p\left(\Omega \right)$, the sequence ${\left(\left[T^n\left(x\right)\right]\left(\lambda \right)\right)}_{n\ge 0}$ belongs to $v^q$ for almost every $\lambda \in \Omega$, with an estimate $\parallel {\left(T^n\left(x\right)\right)}_{n\ge 0}{\parallel }_{L^p\left(v^q\right)}\le C{\parallel x\parallel }_p$. If we remove the analyticity assumption, we obtain an estimate $\parallel {\left(M_n\left(T\right)x\right)}_{n\ge 0}{\parallel }_{L^p\left(v^q\right)}\le C{\parallel x\parallel }_p$, where $M_n\left(T\right)={(n+1)}^{-1}{\sum }_{k=0}^n{T}^k$ denotes the ergodic average of $T$. We also obtain similar results for strongly continuous semigroups ${\left(T_t\right)}_{t\ge 0}$ of positive...

We present a direct proof of a known result that the Hardy operator Hf(x) = 1/x ∫0x f(t) dt in the space L2 = L2(0, ∞) can be written as H = I - U, where U is a shift operator (Uen = en+1, n ∈ Z) for some orthonormal basis {en}. The basis {en} is constructed by using classical Laguerre polynomials. We also explain connections with the Euler differential equation of the first order y' - 1/x y = g and point out some generalizations to the case with weighted Lw2(a, b) spaces.

We study left n-invertible operators introduced in two recent papers. We show how to construct a left n-inverse as a sum of a left inverse and a nilpotent operator. We provide refinements for results on products and tensor products of left n-invertible operators by Duggal and Müller (2013). Our study leads to improvements and different and often more direct proofs of results of Duggal and Müller (2013) and Sid Ahmed (2012). We make a conjecture about tensor products of left n-invertible operators...

The class of Sturm-Liouville systems is defined. It appears to be a subclass of Riesz-spectral systems, since it is shown that the negative of a Sturm-Liouville operator is a Riesz-spectral operator on L^2(a,b) and the infinitesimal generator of a C_0-semigroup of bounded linear operators.

We study general continuity properties for an increasing family of Banach spaces $S_w^p$ of classes for pseudo-differential symbols, where $S_w^{\infty }=S_w$ was introduced by J. Sjöstrand in 1993. We prove that the operators in $\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^p\right)$ are Schatten-von Neumann operators of order $p$ on $L^2$. We prove also that $\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^p\right)\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^r\right)\subset \mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^r\right)$ and $S_w^p·S_w^q\subset S_w^r$, provided $1/p+1/q=1/r$. If instead $1/p+1/q=1+1/r$, then $S_w^{p}w*S_w^q\subset S_w^r$. By modifying the definition of the $S_w^p$-spaces, one also obtains symbol classes related to the $S(m,g)$ spaces.
