  1. Strong convergence theorems for strongly relatively nonexpansive sequences and applications.

    Authors: Koji Aoyama, Yasunori Kimura, Fumiaki Kohsaka
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to establish strong convergence theorems for a
    strongly relatively nonexpansive sequence in a smooth and uniformly convex
    Banach space. Then we employ our results to approximate solutions of the zero
    point problem for a maximal monotone operator and the fixed point problem for a
    relatively nonexpansive mapping.

  2. A Proof of Bobkov's Spectral Bound For Convex Domains via Gaussian Fitting and Free Energy Estimation.

    Authors: Emanuel Milman
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We obtain a new proof of Bobkov's lower bound on the first positive
    eigenvalue of the (negative) Neumann Laplacian (or equivalently, the Cheeger
    constant) on a bounded convex domain $K$ in Euclidean space. Our proof avoids
    employing the localization method or any of its geometric extensions. Instead,
    we deduce the lower bound by invoking a spectral transference principle for
    log-concave measures, comparing the uniform measure on $K$ with an
    appropriately scaled Gaussian measure which is conditioned on $K$.

  3. A companion of Ostrowski like inequality for mappings whose second derivatives belong to $L^{\infty}$ spaces and applications.

    Authors: Wenjun Liu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A companion of Ostrowski like inequality for mappings whose second
    derivatives belong to $L^{\infty}$ spaces is established. Applications to
    composite quadrature rules, and to probability density functions are also
    given.

  4. Reflexive Cones.

    Authors: Emanuele Casini, Enrico Miglierina, Ioannis A. Polyrakis, Foivos Xanthos
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Reflexive cones in Banach spaces are cones with weakly compact intersection
    with the unit ball. In this paper we study the structure of this class of
    cones. We investigate the relations between the notion of reflexive cones and
    the properties of their bases. This allows us to prove a characterization of
    reflexive cones in term of the absence of a subcone isomorphic to the positive
    cone of \ell_{1}. Moreover, the properties of some specific classes of
    reflexive cones are investigated.

  5. Rectangularity and paramonotonicity of maximally monotone operators.

    Authors: Heinz H. Bauschke, Xianfu Wang, Liangjin Yao
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Maximally monotone operators play a key role in modern optimization and
    variational analysis. Two useful subclasses are rectangular (also known as star
    monotone) and paramonotone operators, which were introduced by Brezis and
    Haraux, and by Censor, Iusem and Zenios, respectively. The former class has
    useful range properties while the latter class is of importance for interior
    point methods and duality theory.

  6. Analogs of Cuntz algebras on $L^p$ spaces.

    Authors: N. Christopher Phillips
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For $d = 2, 3, \ldots$ and $p \in [1, \infty),$ we define a class of
    representations $\rho$ of the Leavitt algebra $L_d$ on spaces of the form $L^p
    (X, \mu),$ which we call the spatial representations. We prove that for fixed
    $d$ and $p,$ the Banach algebra ${{\mathcal{O}}_{d}^{p}}$ obtained as the
    closure of the image of $L_d$ under the representation $\rho$ is the same for
    all spatial representations $\rho.$ When $p = 2,$ we recover the usual Cuntz
    algebra ${\mathcal{O}}_{d}.$ We give a number of equivalent conditions for a
    representation to be spatial.

  7. Characterization of distributions having a value at a point in the sense of Robinson.

    Authors: Hans Vernaeve, Jasson Vindas
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We characterize Schwartz distributions having a value at a single point in
    the sense introduced by means of nonstandard analysis by A. Robinson. They
    appear to be distributions continuous in a neighborhood of the point.

  8. The Infinite Gauss-Jordan Elimination on Row-Finite \omega\ x \omega\ Matrices.

    Authors: Alexandros G. Paraskevopoulos
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The Gauss-Jordan elimination algorithm is extended to reduce a row-finite
    $\omega\times\omega$ matrix to lower row-reduced form, founded on a strategy of
    rightmost pivot elements. Such reduced matrix form preserves row equivalence,
    unlike the dominant (upper) row-reduced form. This algorithm provides a
    constructive alternative to an earlier existence and uniqueness result for
    Quasi-Hermite forms based on the axiom of countable choice.

  9. Inverse Closed Ultradifferential Subalgebras.

    Authors: Andreas Klotz
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In previous work we have shown that classical approximation theory provides
    methods for the systematic construction of inverse-closed smooth subalgebras.
    Now we extend this work to treat inverse-closed subalgebras of
    ultradifferentiable elements. In particular, Carleman classes and Dales-Davie
    algebras are treated. As an application the result of Demko, Smith and Moss and
    Jaffard on the inverse of a matrix with exponential decay is obtained within
    the framework of a general theory of smoothness.

  10. The Nevanlinna-type formula for the truncated matrix trigonometric moment problem.

    Authors: Sergey M. Zagorodnyuk
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper is a continuation of our previous investigation on the truncated
    matrix trigonometric moment problem in Ukrainian Math. J., 2011, 63, no.6,
    786-797. In the present paper we obtain a Nevanlinna-type formula for this
    moment problem in a general case. We only assume that we have more than one
    moment, the moment problem is solvable and the problem has more than one
    solution. The coefficients of the corresponding matrix linear fractional
    transformation are explicitly expressed by the prescribed moments. Easy
    conditions for the determinacy of the moment problem are given.

  11. On the divergence of series of p-th powers of operator norms.

    Authors: Ivan Feshchenko
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let {A} be a system of operators. With any element x we associate the set of
    elements {Ax}. We study conditions under which there exists an element x such
    that the sum of p-th powers of norms of the elements {Ax} is equal to infinity.

  12. On representing and absolutely representing systems of subspaces in Banach spaces.

    Authors: Ivan Feshchenko
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study properties of representing and absolutely representing systems of
    subspaces in Banach spaces. We also present sufficient conditions for the
    system of subspaces to be a representing system of subspaces.

  13. On Laplace-Carleson embedding theorems.

    Authors: Birgit Jacob, Jonathan Partington, Sandra Pott
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper gives embedding theorems for a very general class of weighted
    Bergman spaces: the results include a number of classical Carleson embedding
    theorems as special cases. Next, a study is made of Carleson embeddings in the
    right half-plane induced by taking the Laplace transform of functions defined
    on the positive half-line (these embeddings have applications in control
    theory): particular attention is given to the case of a sectorial measure or a
    measure supported on a strip, and complete necessary and sufficient conditions
    for a bounded embedding are given in many cases.

  14. Free Banach spaces and the approximation properties.

    Authors: Narutaka Ozawa, Gilles Godefroy
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We characterize the metric spaces whose free space has the bounded
    approximation property through a Lipschitz analogue of the local reflexivity
    principle. We show that there exist compact metric spaces whose free spaces
    fail the approximation property.

  15. Essential Spectra of Quasi-parabolic Composition Operators on Hardy Spaces of the Poly-disc.

    Authors: Uğur Gül
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This work is a generalization of the results in [Gul] to bi-disc case. As in
    [Gul], quasi-parabolic composition operators on the Hilbert-Hardy space of the
    bi-disc are written as a linear combination of Toeplitz operators and Fourier
    multipliers. The C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators and Fourier
    multipliers on the Hilbert-Hardy space of the bi-disc is written as the tensor
    product of the similar C*-algebra in one variable with itself. As a result we
    find a nontrivial set lying inside the essential spectra of quasi-parabolic
    composition operators.

  16. A combinatorial characterization of tight fusion frames.

    Authors: Edward Richmond, Kurt Luoto, Marcin Bownik
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we give a combinatorial characterization of tight fusion frame
    (TFF) sequences using Littlewood-Richardson skew tableaux. The equal rank case
    has been solved recently by Casazza, Fickus, Mixon, Wang, and Zhou. Our
    characterization does not have this limitation. We also develop some methods
    for generating TFF sequences. The basic technique is a majorization principle
    for TFF sequences combined with spatial and Naimark dualities. We use these
    methods and our characterization to give necessary and sufficient conditions
    which are satisfied by the first three highest ranks.

  17. Establishment and Fecundity in Spatial Ecological Models: Functional Evolutions.

    Authors: Dmitri Finkelshtein, Yuri Kondratiev, Oleksandr Kutoviy
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We consider spatial population dynamics given by Markov birth-and-death
    process with constant mortality and birth influenced by establishment or
    fecundity. The independent dispersion of spreading as well as density dependent
    dispersion are studied. The existence of functional evolutions for microscopic
    and mesoscopic descriptions of the corresponding system is shown. The
    Vlasov-type non-linear kinetic equations are derived and studied.

  18. Convergence of the alternating split Bregman algorithm in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

    Authors: Adrian Nachman, Amir Moradifam
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove results on weak convergence for the alternating split Bregman
    algorithm in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We also show convergence of
    an approximate split Bregman algorithm, where errors are allowed at each step
    of the computation. To be able to treat the infinite dimensional case, our
    proofs focus mostly on the dual problem. We rely on Svaiter's theorem on weak
    convergence of the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm and on the relation
    between the alternating split Bregman and Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithms
    discovered by Setzer.

  19. Which weighted composition operators are complex symmetric?.

    Authors: Stephan Ramon Garcia, Christopher Hammond
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Recent work by several authors has revealed the existence of many unexpected
    classes of normal weighted composition operators. On the other hand, it is
    known that every normal operator is a complex symmetric operator. We therefore
    undertake the study of complex symmetric weighted composition operators,
    identifying several new classes of such operators.

  20. Schr\"{o}dinger operators with boundary singularities: Hardy inequality, Pohozaev identity and controllability results.

    Authors: Cristian Cazacu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is two folded. Firstly, we study the validity of the
    Pohozaev-type identity for the Schr\"{o}dinger operator $$A_\la:=-\D
    -\frac{\la}{|x|^2}, \q \la\in \rr,$$ in the situation where the origin is
    located on the boundary of a smooth domain $\Omega\subset \rr^N$, $N\geq 1$.
    The problem we address is very much related to optimal Hardy-Poincar\'{e}
    inequality with boundary singularities which has been investigated in the
    recent past in various papers. In view of that, the proper functional framework
    is described and explained.

  21. Some common fixed points results on metric spaces over topological modules.

    Authors: Ion Olaru
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we replace the real numbers by a topological R-module and
    define R-metric spaces $(X,d)$. Also, we prove some common fixed point theorems
    on R-module metric spaces. We obtain, as a particular case the Perov theorem.

  22. Scaling by 5 on a 1/4-Bernoulli Convolution.

    Authors: Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Keri A. Kornelson, Karen L. Shuman
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Each Bernoulli convolution measure (\mu) with scaling factor 1/(2n) has at
    least one associated orthonormal basis of exponential functions (ONB) for
    L^2(\mu). In the particular case where the scaling constant for the Bernoulli
    convolution measure is 1/4 and two specific ONBs are selected for L^2(\mu),
    there is a unitary operator U defined by mapping one ONB to the other. This
    paper focuses on the case in which one ONB (\Gamma) is the original
    Jorgensen-Pedersen ONB for the Bernoulli convolution measure (\mu) and the
    other ONB is is 5\Gamma.

  23. Vector-valued Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces with Applications to Multi-task Learning.

    Authors: Jun Zhang, Haizhang Zhang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Motivated by multi-task machine learning with Banach spaces, we propose the
    notion of vector-valued reproducing kernel Banach spaces (RKBS). Basic
    properties of the spaces and the associated reproducing kernels are
    investigated. We also present feature map constructions and several concrete
    examples of vector-valued RKBS. The theory is then applied to multi-task
    machine learning. Especially, the representer theorem and characterization
    equations for the minimizer of regularized learning schemes in vector-valued
    RKBS are established.

  24. Best rank one approximation of real symmetric tensors can be chosen symmetric.

    Authors: Shmuel Friedland
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that a best rank one approximation to a real symmetric tensor, which
    in principle can be nonsymmetric, can be chosen symmetric.

    Furthermore, a symmetric best rank one approximation to a symmetric tensor is
    unique if the tensor does not lie on a certain real algebraic variety.

  25. Uniqueness of weighted Sobolev spaces with weakly differentiable weights.

    Authors: Jonas M. Tölle
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove that weakly differentiable weights $w$ which, together with their
    reciprocals, satisfy certain local integrability conditions, admit a unique
    associated first order $p$-Sobolev space, that is
    \[H^{1,p}_0(\mathbbm{R}^d,w\,dx)=H^{1,p}(\mathbbm{R}^d,w\,dx)=W^{1,p}(\mathbbm{R}^d,w\,dx).\]
    If $w$ admits a (weak) logarithmic derivative $\nabla w/w$ which is in
    $L^q_{\textup{loc}}(w\,dx;\mathbbm{R}^d)$, we propose an alternative definition
    of the weighted $p$-Sobolev space based on an integration by parts formula
    involving $\nabla w/w$.

  26. Average Interpolating Wavelets on Point Clouds and Graphs.

    Authors: Raif M. Rustamov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce a new wavelet transform suitable for analyzing functions on
    point clouds and graphs. Our construction is based on a generalization of the
    average interpolating refinement scheme of Donoho. The most important
    ingredient of the original scheme that needs to be altered is the choice of the
    interpolant. Here, we define the interpolant as the minimizer of a smoothness
    functional, namely a generalization of the Laplacian energy, subject to the
    averaging constraints.

  27. Behavior of bivariate interpolation operators at points of discontinuity of the first kind.

    Authors: Michele Campiti, Giusy Mazzone, Cristian Tacelli
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce an index of convergence for double sequences of real numbers.
    This index is used to describe the behaviour of some bivariate interpolation
    sequences at points of discontinuity of the first kind. We consider in
    particular the case of bivariate Lagrange and Shepard operators.

  28. A Banach algebraic Approach to the Borsuk-Ulam Theorem.

    Authors: Ali Taghavi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Using methods from the theory of commutative graded Banach algebras, we
    obtain a generalization of the two dimensional Borsuk-Ulam theorem as follows:
    Let $\phi:S^{2} \rightarrow S^{2}$ be a homeomorphism of order n and
    $\lambda\neq 1$ be an nth root of the unity, then for every complex valued
    continuous function $f$ on $S^{2}$ the function $\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}
    \lambda^{i}f(\phi^{i}(x))$ must be vanished at some point of $S^{2}$. We also
    discuss about some noncommutative versions of the Borsuk- Ulam theorem

  29. Iterative approximations of exponential bases on fractal measures.

    Authors: Eric Weber, Dorin Ervin Dutkay, Deguang Han
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For some fractal measures it is a very difficult problem in general to prove
    the existence of spectrum (respectively, frame, Riesz and Bessel spectrum). In
    fact there are examples of extremely sparse sets that are not even Bessel
    spectra. In this paper we investigate this problem for general fractal measures
    induced by iterated function systems (IFS). We prove some existence results of
    spectra associated with Hadamard pairs.

  30. On the lack of density of Lipschitz mappings in Sobolev spaces with Heisenberg target.

    Authors: Noel DeJarnette, Piotr Hajlasz, Anton Lukyanenko, Jeremy Tyson
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study the question: When are Lipschitz mappings dense in the Sobolev space
    $W^{1,p}(M,H^n)$? Here $M$ denotes a compact Riemannian manifold with or
    without boundary, while $H^n$ denotes the $n$th Heisenberg group equipped with
    a sub-Riemannian metric. We show that Lipschitz maps are dense in
    $W^{1,p}(M,H^n)$ for all $1\le p<\infty$ if $\dim M \le n$, but that Lipschitz
    maps are not dense in $W^{1,p}(M,H^n)$ if $\dim M \ge n+1$ and $n\le p<n+1$.
    The proofs rely on the construction of smooth horizontal embeddings of the
    sphere $S^n$ into $H^n$.

  31. Characterization of traces of smooth functions on Ahlfors regular sets.

    Authors: Antti V. V&#xe4;h&#xe4;kangas, Lizaveta Ihnatsyeva
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We extend the results of P. Shvartsman on characterizing the traces of Besov
    and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on Ahlfors $n$-regular sets to the case of
    $d$-regular sets, $n-1<d<n$. The characterizations of trace spaces are given in
    terms of local polynomial approximations.

  32. Identification of minimum phase preserving operators on the half line.

    Authors: Peter C. Gibson, Michael P. Lamoureux
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Minimum phase functions are fundamental in a range of applications, including
    control theory, communication theory and signal processing. A basic
    mathematical challenge that arises in the context of geophysical imaging is to
    understand the structure of linear operators preserving the class of minimum
    phase functions. The heart of the matter is an inverse problem: to reconstruct
    an unknown minimum phase preserving operator from its value on a limited set of
    test functions.

  33. Boundary relations and boundary conditions for general (not necessarily definite) canonical systems with possibly unequal deficiency indices.

    Authors: Vadim Mogilevskii
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We investigate in the paper general (not necessarily definite) canonical
    systems of differential equation in the framework of extension theory of
    symmetric linear relations. For this aim we first introduce the new notion of a
    boundary relation $\G:\gH^2\to\HH$ for $A^*$, where $\gH$ is a Hilbert space,
    $A$ is a symmetric linear relation in $\gH, \cH_0$ is a boundary Hilbert space
    and $\cH_1$ is a subspace in $\cH_0$.

  34. Some remarks about interpolating sequences in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.

    Authors: Brett D. Wick, Mrinal Raghupathi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we study two separate problems on interpolation. We first give
    a new proof of Stout's Theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions for a
    sequence of points to be an interpolating sequence for the multiplier algebra
    and for an associated Hilbert space. We next turn our attention to the question
    of interpolation for reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces on the polydisc and
    provide a collection of equivalent statements about when it is possible to
    interpolation in the Schur-Agler class of the associated reproducing kernel
    Hilbert space.

  35. Multi-window Gabor frames in amalgam spaces.

    Authors: Jos&#xe9; Luis Romero, Kasso A. Okoudjou, Radu Balan, Jens G. Christensen, Ilya A. Krishtal
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that multi-window Gabor frames with windows in the Wiener algebra
    $W(L^{\infty}, \ell^{1})$ are Banach frames for all Wiener amalgam spaces. As a
    byproduct of our results we positively answer an open question that was posed
    by [Krishtal and Okoudjou, Invertibility of the Gabor frame operator on the
    Wiener amalgam space, J. Approx. Theory, 153(2), 2008] and concerns the
    continuity of the canonical dual of a Gabor frame with a continuous generator
    in the Wiener algebra. The proofs are based on a recent version of Wiener's
    $1/f$ lemma.

  36. Optimal dual frames and frame completions for majorization.

    Authors: Pedro G. Massey, Mariano A. Ruiz, Demetrio Stojanoff
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we consider two problems of frame theory. On the one hand,
    given a fixed frame ${\mathcal F}$ we describe explicitly the spectral and
    geometric structure of optimal frames ${\mathcal W}$ that are in duality with
    ${\mathcal F}$ and such that the Frobenius norms of their analysis operators is
    bounded from below by a fixed constant, where optimality is measured with
    respect to submajorization.

  37. Local Analysis of Inverse Problems: H\"{o}lder Stability and Iterative Reconstruction.

    Authors: Otmar Scherzer, Maarten V. de Hoop, Lingyun Qiu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We consider a class of inverse problems defined by a nonlinear map from
    parameter or model functions to the data. We assume that solutions exist. The
    space of model functions is a Banach space which is smooth and uniformly
    convex; however, the data space can be an arbitrary Banach space. We study
    sequences of parameter functions generated by a nonlinear Landweber iteration
    and conditions under which these strongly converge, locally, to the solutions
    within an appropriate distance.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $S$ be a semi direct product $S=N\rtimes A$ where $N$ is a connected and
    simply connected, non-abelian, nilpotent meta-abelian Lie group and $A$ is
    isomorphic with $\R^k,$ $k>1.$ We consider a class of second order
    left-invariant differential operators on $S$ of the form $\mathcal
    L_\alpha=L^a+\Delta_\alpha,$ where $\alpha\in\R^k,$ and for each $a\in\R^k,$
    $L^a$ is left-invariant second order differential operator on $N$ and
    $\Delta_\alpha=\Delta-<\alpha,\nabla>,$ where $\Delta$ is the usual Laplacian
    on $\R^k.$ Using some probabilistic techniques (e.g., skew-product formulas f

    Authors: Tiexin Guo, Yujie Yang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Motivated by the recent work on conditional risk measures, this paper studies
    the Ekeland's variational principle for a proper, lower semicontinuous and
    lower bounded $\bar{L}^{0}-$valued function, where $\bar{L}^{0}$ is the set of
    equivalence classes of extended real-valued random variables on a probability
    space. First, we prove a general form of Ekeland's variational principle for
    such a function defined on a complete random metric space. Then, we give a more
    precise form of Ekeland's variational principle for such a local function on a
    complete random normed module.

  41. On the Hilbert transform of wavelets.

    Authors: Kunal Narayan Chaudhury, Michael Unser
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A wavelet is a localized function having a prescribed number of vanishing
    moments. In this correspondence, we provide precise arguments as to why the
    Hilbert transform of a wavelet is again a wavelet. In particular, we provide
    sharp estimates of the localization, vanishing moments, and smoothness of the
    transformed wavelet. We work in the general setting of non-compactly supported
    wavelets.

    Authors: Piotr Niemiec
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    To every bounded linear operator $A$ between Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}$ and
    $\mathcal{K}$ three cardinals $\iota_r(A)$, $\iota_i(A)$ and $\iota_f(A)$ and a
    binary number $\iota_b(A)$ are assigned in terms of which the descriptions of
    the norm closures of the orbits $\{G A L^{-1}:\ L \in \mathcal{G}_1,\ G \in
    \mathcal{G}_2\}$ are given for $\mathcal{G}_1$ and $\mathcal{G}_2$ (chosen
    independently) being the trivial group, the unitary group or the group of all
    invertible operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$, respectively.

  43. Sparsity and non-Euclidean embeddings.

    Authors: Omer Friedland, Olivier Gu&#xe9;don
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We present a relation between sparsity and non-Euclidean isomorphic
    embeddings. We introduce a general restricted isomorphism property and show how
    it enables to construct embeddings of $\ell_p^n$, $p > 0$, into various type of
    Banach or quasi-Banach spaces. In particular, for $0 <r < p<2$ with $r \le 1$,
    we construct a family of operators that embed $\ell_p^n$ into
    $\ell_r^{(1+\eta)n}$, with optimal polynomial bounds in $\eta >0$.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For a collection of reproducing kernels k which includes those for the Hardy
    space of the polydisk and ball and for the Bergman space, k is a complete Pick
    kernel if and only if the multiplier algebra of the Hilbert space H^2(k)
    associated to k has the Douglas property. Consequences for solving the operator
    equation AX=Y are examined.

    V such that $$ e^{i X}e^{i Y}=e^{i (UXU^*+VBV^*)}. $$ In this note we consider
    extensions of this result to compact operators as well as to operators in an

    The main observation of this note is that the Lebesgue measure $\mu$ in the
    Tur\'an-Nazarov inequality for exponential polynomials can be replaced with a
    certain geometric invariant $\omega \ge \mu$, which can be effectively
    estimated in terms of the metric entropy of a set, and may be nonzero for
    discrete and even finite sets. While the frequencies (the imaginary parts of
    the exponents) do not enter the original Tur\'an-Nazarov inequality, they
    necessarily enter the definition of $\omega$.

  47. Geometric regularization on Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds.

    Authors: Michael Kunzinger, Shantanu Dave, Guenther Hoermann
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We investigate regularizations of distributional sections of vector bundles
    by means of nets of smooth sections that preserve the main regularity
    properties of the original distributions (singular support, wavefront set,
    Sobolev regularity). The underlying regularization mechanism is based on
    functional calculus of elliptic operators with finite speed of propagation with
    respect to a complete Riemannian metric.

  48. Limit Theorems for Numerical Index.

    Authors: Asuman G&#xfc;ven Aksoy, Grzegorz Lewicki
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We improve upon on a limit theorem for numerical index for large classes of
    Banach spaces including vector valued $\ell_p$-spaces and $\ell_p$-sums of
    Banach spaces where $1\leq p \leq \infty$. We first prove $ n_1(X) =
    \displaystyle \lim_m n_1(X_m)$ for a modified numerical index $n_1(\, .\,)$.
    Later, we establish if a norm on $X$ satisfies the local characterization
    condition, then $n(X) = \displaystyle\lim_m n(X_m).$ We also present an example
    of a Banach space where the local characterization condition is satisfied.

  49. On the Inclusion Relation of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces.

    Authors: Liang Zhao, Haizhang Zhang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    To help understand various reproducing kernels used in applied sciences, we
    investigate the inclusion relation of two reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
    Characterizations in terms of feature maps of the corresponding reproducing
    kernels are established. A full table of inclusion relations among widely-used
    translation invariant kernels is given. Concrete examples for Hilbert-Schmidt
    kernels are presented as well. We also discuss the preservation of such a
    relation under various operations of reproducing kernels. Finally, we briefly
    discuss the special inclusion with a norm equivalence.

  50. Gauge functions for convex cones.

    Authors: B. F. Svaiter

    We analyze a class of sublinear functionals which characterize the interior
    and the exterior of a convex cone in a normed linear space.

  52. Weighted Norm Inequalities for One-sided Oscillatory Integral Operators.

    Authors: Zunwei Fu, Shaoguang Shi, Shanzhen Lu

    Abstract

    The purpose of this paper is to establish the weighted norm inequalities of
    one-sided oscillatory integral operators by the aid of interpolation of
    operators with change of measures.

  53. Operator identities corresponding to inverse problems.

    Authors: A.L. Sakhnovich, B. Fritzsche, B. Kirstein, I.Ya. Roitberg
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The structured operators and corresponding operator identities, which appear
    in inverse problems for the self-adjoint and skew-self-adjoint Dirac systems
    with rectangular potentials, are studied in detail. In particular, it is shown
    that operators with the close to displacement kernels are included in this
    class. A special case of positive and factorizable operators is dealt with
    separately.

  54. $L_{p}[0,1] \setminus \bigcup\limits_{q>p} L_{q}[0,1]$ is spaceable for every $p>0$.

    Authors: G. Botelho, V. V. F&#xe1;varo, D. Pellegrino, J. B. Seoane-Sep&#xfa;lveda
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this short note we prove the result stated in the title; that is, for
    every $p>0$ there exists an infinite dimensional closed linear subspace of
    $L_{p}[0,1]$ every nonzero element of which does not belong to
    $\bigcup\limits_{q>p} L_{q}[0,1]$. This answers in the positive a question
    raised in 2010 by R. M. Aron on the spaceability of the above sets (for both,
    the Banach and quasi-Banach cases). We also complete some recent results from
    \cite{BDFP} for subsets of sequence spaces.

  55. Frames for weighted shift-invariant spaces.

    Authors: Stevan Pilipovic, Suzana Simic
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove the equivalence of the frame property and the closedness for a
    weighted shift-invariant space. We also construct a sequence $\Phi^{2k+1}$ and
    the sequence of spaces $V^p_\mu(\Phi^{2k+1})$, $k\in{\mathbb{N}}$, on
    $\mathbb{R},$ with the useful properties in sampling, approximations and
    stability.

  56. On some properties of new paranormed sequence space of non-absolute type.

    Authors: Necip Simsek, Vatan Karakaya, Harun Polat
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this work, we introduce some new generalized sequence space related to the
    space l(p). Furthermore we investigate some topological properties as the
    completeness, the isomorphism and also we give some inclusion relations between
    this sequence space and some of the other sequence spaces. In addition, we
    compute alpha-, beta- and gamma-duals of this space, and characterize certain
    matrix transformations on this sequence space.

  57. Five basic lemmas for symmetric tensor products of normed spaces.

    Authors: Daniel Carando, Daniel Galicer
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We give the symmetric version of five lemmas which are essential for the
    theory of tensor products (and norms). These are: the approximation, extension,
    embedding, density and local technique lemmas. Some application of these tools
    to the metric theory of symmetric tensor products and to the theory of
    polynomials ideals are given.

  58. A Reconstruction Method for Band-Limited Signals on the Hyperbolic Plane.

    Authors: Hans Feichtinger, Isaac Pesenson
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A notion of band limited functions is considered in the case of the
    hyperbolic plane in its Poincare upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ realization. The
    concept of band-limitedness is based on the existence of the Helgason-Fourier
    transform on $\mathbb{H}$. An iterative algorithm is presented, which allows to
    reconstruct band-limited functions from some countable sets of their values. It
    is shown that for sufficiently dense metric lattices a geometric rate of
    convergence can be guaranteed as long as the sampling density is high enough
    compared to the band-width of the sampled function.

  59. Composition operators on the Bergman spaces of a minimal bounded homogeneous domain.

    Authors: Satoshi Yamaji
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Using an integral formula on a homogeneous Siegel domain, we show a necessary
    and sufficient condition for composition operators on the weighted Bergman
    space of a minimal bounded homogeneous domain to be compact. To describe the
    compactness of composition operators, we see a boundary behavior of the Bergman
    kernel.

  60. A note on the boundedness of Riesz transform for some subelliptic operators.

    Authors: F. Baudoin, N. Garofalo
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $\M$ be a smooth connected non-compact manifold endowed with a smooth
    measure $\mu$ and a smooth locally subelliptic diffusion operator $L$
    satisfying $L1=0$, and which is symmetric with respect to $\mu$. We show that
    if $L$ satisfies, with a non negative curvature parameter $\rho_1$, the
    generalized curvature inequality in \eqref{CD} below, then the Riesz transform
    is bounded in $L^p (\bM)$ for every $p>1$, that is \[\|
    \sqrt{\Gamma((-L)^{-1/2}f)}\|_p \le C_p \| f \|_p, \quad f \in C^\infty_0(\bM),
    \] where $\Gamma$ is the \textit{carr\'e du champ} associated to $L$.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    These pages are for students and young researchers of all ages who may like
    to hitchhike their way from 1 to $s\in(0,1)$. To wit, for anybody who, only
    endowed with some basic undergraduate analysis course (and knowing {\tt where
    his towel is}), would like to pick up some quick, crash and essentially
    self-contained information on the fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}$.

  62. When is hyponormality for 2-variable weighted shifts invariant under powers?.

    Authors: Raul Curto, Jasang Yoon
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For 2-variable weighted shifts W_{(\alpha,\beta)}(T_1, T_2) we study the
    invariance of (joint) k- hyponormality under the action (h,\ell) ->
    W_{(\alpha,\beta)}^{(h,\ell)}(T_1, T_2):=(T_1^k,T_2^{\ell}) (h,\ell >=1). We
    show that for every k >= 1 there exists W_{(\alpha,\beta)}(T_1, T_2) such that
    W_{(\alpha,\beta)}^{(h,\ell)}(T_1, T_2) is k-hyponormal (all h>=2,\ell>=1) but
    W_{(\alpha,\beta)}(T_1, T_2) is not k-hyponormal. On the positive side, for a
    class of 2-variable weighted shifts with tensor core we find a computable
    necessary condition for invariance.

  63. Boundedness of Operators in Bilateral Grand Bebesgue Spaces with Exact and Weakly Exact Constant Calculation.

    Authors: E.Ostrovsky L.Sirota
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this article we investigate an action of some operators (not necessary to
    be linear or sublinear) in the so-called (Bilateral) Grand Lebesgue Spaces
    (GLS), in particular, double weight Fourier operators, maximal operators,
    imbedding operators etc. We intend to calculate an exact or at least weak exact
    values for correspondent imbedding constant. We obtain also interpolation
    theorems for GLS spaces.We construct several examples to show the exactness of
    offered estimations.

  64. Quotients of the Fourier algebra, and representations that are not completely bounded.

    Authors: Yemon Choi, Ebrahim Samei
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We observe that for a large class of non-amenable groups $G$, one can find
    bounded representations of $A(G)$ on Hilbert space which are not completely
    bounded. We also consider restriction algebras obtained from $A(G)$, equipped
    with the natural operator space structure, and ask whether such algebras can be
    completely isomorphic to operator algebras; partial results are obtained, using
    a modified notion of Helson set which takes account of operator space
    structure.

  65. Complex Hadamard matrices and Equiangular Tight Frames.

    Authors: Ferenc Sz&#xf6;ll\Hosi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we give a new construction of parametric families of complex
    Hadamard matrices of square orders, and connect them to equiangular tight
    frames. The results presented here generalize some of the recent ideas of
    Bodmann et al. and extend the list of known equiangular tight frames. In
    particular, a (36,21) frame coming from a nontrivial cube root signature matrix
    is obtained for the first time.

  66. Sequential Lower Semi-Continuity of Non-Local Functionals.

    Authors: Peter Elbau
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We give a necessary and sufficient condition for non-local functionals on
    vector-valued Lebesgue spaces to be weakly sequentially lower semi-continuous.
    Here a non-local functional shall have the form of a double integral of a
    density which depends on the function values at two different points.

    The characterisation we get is essentially that the density has to be convex
    in one variable if we integrate over the other one with an arbitrary test
    function in it.

  67. On the vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Rubio de Francia inequality.

    Authors: Denis Potapov, Fedor Sukochev, Quanhua Xu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The paper studies Banach spaces satisfying the Littlewood-Paley-Rubio de
    Francia property LPR_p, 2 \leq p < \infty. The paper shows that every Banach
    lattice whose 2-concavification is a UMD Banach lattice has this property. The
    paper also shows that every space having LPR_q also has LPR_p with q \leq p <
    \infty.

  68. On measures on Rosenthal compacta.

    Authors: Grzegorz Plebanek, Witold Marciszewski
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that if K is Rosenthal compact which can be represented by functions
    with countably many discontinuities then every Radon measure on K is countably
    determined. We also present an alternative proof of the result stating that
    every Radon measure on an arbitrary Rosenthal compactum is of countable type.
    Our approach is based on some caliber-type properties of measures,
    parameterized by separable metrizable spaces.

  69. Operator approach to Vlasov scaling for some models of spatial ecology.

    Authors: Dmitri Finkelshtein, Yuri Kondratiev, Oleksandr Kutoviy
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We consider Vlasov-type scaling for Markov evolution of birth-and-death type
    in continuum, which is based on a proper scaling of corresponding Markov
    generators and has an algorithmic realization in terms of related hierarchical
    chains of correlation functions equations. The existence of rescaled and
    limiting evolutions of correlation functions as well as convergence to the
    limiting evolution are shown. The obtained results enable to derive a
    non-linear Vlasov-type equation for the density of the limiting system.

  70. A dichotomy for the convex spaces of probability measures.

    Authors: Grzegorz Plebanek, Miko&#x142;aj Krupski
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that every nonempty compact and convex space M of probability Radon
    measures either contains a measure which has `small' local character in M or
    else M contains a measure of `large' Maharam type. Such a dichotomy is related
    to several results on Radon measures on compact spaces and to some properties
    of Banach spaces of continuous functions.

  71. On the Substitution Rule for Lebesgue-Stieltjes Integrals.

    Abstract

    We establish a generalization for the substitution rule which holds for
    arbitrary Lebesgue-Stieltjes integrals.

  72. Banach spaces of universal disposition.

    Authors: Antonio Aviles, Felix Cabello, Jesus M. F. Castillo, Manuel Gonzalez, Yolanda Moreno
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we present a method to obtain Banach spaces of universal and
    almost-universal disposition with respect to a given class $\mathfrak M$ of
    normed spaces. The method produces, among other, the Gurari\u{\i} space
    $\mathcal G$ (the only separable Banach space of almost-universal disposition
    with respect to the class $\mathfrak F$ of finite dimensional spaces), or the
    Kubis space $\mathcal K$ (under {\sf CH}, the only Banach space with the
    density character the continuum which is of universal disposition with respect
    to the class $\mathfrak S$ of separable spaces).

  73. On separably injective Banach spaces.

    Authors: Antonio Aviles, Felix Cabello, Jesus M. F. Castillo, Manuel Gonzalez, Yolanda Moreno
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we deal with two weaker forms of injectivity which turn out to
    have a rich structure behind: separable injectivity and universal separable
    injectivity. We show several structural and stability properties of these
    classes of Banach spaces. We provide natural examples of (universally)
    separably injective spaces, including $\mathcal L_\infty$ ultraproducts built
    over countably incomplete ultrafilters, in spite of the fact that these
    ultraproducts are never injective.

  74. On the norm closure problem for complex symmetric operators.

    Authors: Stephan Ramon Garcia, Daniel E. Poore
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove that the set of all complex symmetric operators on a separable,
    infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is not norm closed.

  75. A universal differentiability set in Banach spaces with separable dual.

    Authors: Michael Dor&#xe9;, Olga Maleva
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that any non-zero Banach space with a separable dual contains a
    totally disconnected, closed and bounded subset S of Hausdorff dimension 1 such
    that every Lipschitz function on the space is Fr\'echet differentiable
    somewhere in S.

    Abstract

    We shall generalize the concept of $z=(1-t)x\oplus ty$ to $n$ times which
    contains to verifying some their properties and inequalities in CAT(0) spaces.
    In the sequel with introducing of $\alpha$-nonexpansive mappings, we obtain
    some fixed points and approximate fixed points theorems.

  77. Divergence of mock and scrambled Fourier series.

    Authors: Dorin Ervin Dutkay, Deguang Han, Qiyu Sun
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study divergence properties of Fourier series on Cantor-type fractal
    measures, also called mock Fourier series. We show that in some cases the
    $L^1$-norm of the corresponding Dirichlet kernel grows exponentially fast, and
    therefore the Fourier series are not even pointwise convergent. We apply these
    results to the Lebesgue measure to show that a certain rearrangement of the
    exponential functions, which we call scrambled Fourier series, have a
    corresponding Dirichlet kernel whose $L^1$-norm grows exponentially fast, which
    is much worse than the known logarithmic bound.

  78. An $L^{0}({\cal F},R)-$valued function's intermediate value theorem and its applications to random uniform convexity.

    Authors: Guo TieXin, Zeng XiaoLin
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $(\Omega,{\cal F},P)$ be a probability space and $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$ the
    algebra of equivalence classes of real-valued random variables on
    $(\Omega,{\cal F},P)$. When $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$ is endowed with the topology of
    convergence in probability, we prove an intermediate value theorem for a
    continuous local function from $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$ to $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$.

    Authors: Xianfu Wang, Liangjin Yao
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Monotone linear relations play important roles in variational inequality
    problems and quadratic optimizations. In this paper, we give explicit maximally
    monotone linear subspace extensions of a monotone linear relation in finite
    dimensional spaces. Examples are provided to illustrate our extensions. Our
    results generalize a recent result by Crouzeix and Anaya.

  80. Auerbach bases and minimal volume sufficient enlargements.

    Authors: Mikhail I. Ostrovskii
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $B_Y$ denote the unit ball of a normed linear space $Y$. A symmetric,
    bounded, closed, convex set $A$ in a finite dimensional normed linear space $X$
    is called a {\it sufficient enlargement} for $X$ if, for an arbitrary isometric
    embedding of $X$ into a Banach space $Y$, there exists a linear projection
    $P:Y\to X$ such that $P(B_Y)\subset A$. Each finite dimensional normed space
    has a minimal-volume sufficient enlargement which is a parallelepiped, some
    spaces have "exotic" minimal-volume sufficient enlargements.

    Authors: Heinz H. Bauschke
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The demiclosedness principle is one of the key tools in nonlinear analysis
    and fixed point theory. In this note, this principle is extended and made more
    flexible by two mutually orthogonal affine subspaces. Versions for finitely
    many (firmly) nonexpansive operators are presented. As an application, a simple
    proof of the weak convergence of the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm is
    provided.

    In this survey, at first we review to many examples which have been made on
    cone metric spaces to verify some properties of cones on real Banach spaces and
    cone metrics and second, in continue like as examples that sandwich theorem

    hold with an example for normal cones.

  83. On boundedness of Calder\'on-Toeplitz operators.

    Authors: Ondrej Hutn&#xed;k
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we study the boundedness of Toeplitz-type operators defined in
    the context of the Calder\'on reproducing formula. We consider specific
    wavelets whose Fourier transforms are related to Laguerre polynomials. Some
    sufficient conditions for simultaneous boundedness of these Calder\'on-Toeplitz
    operators on each wavelet subspaces for unbounded symbols are given, where
    investigating the behavior of certain sequence of iterated integrals of symbols
    is helpful. A number of examples and counterexamples is given.

  84. Wavelets from Laguerre polynomials and Toeplitz-type operators.

    Authors: Ondrej Hutn&#xed;k
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study Toeplitz-type operators with respect to specific wavelets whose
    Fourier transforms are related to Laguerre polynomials. This choice of wavelets
    underlines the fact that these operators acting on wavelet subspaces share many
    properties with the classical Toeplitz operators acting on the Bergman and
    Bergman-type spaces. Restricting to symbols depending only on vertical variable
    in the upper half-plane of the complex plane these operators are unitarily
    equivalent to a multiplication operator with a certain function.

  85. Self-Adjoint Extension of Symmetric Maps.

    Authors: H. N. Friedel
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A densely-defined symmetric linear map from/to a real Hilbert space extends
    to a self-adjoint map. Extension is expressed via Riesz representation. For a
    case including Friedrichs extension of a strongly monotone map, self-adjoint
    extension is unique, and equals closure of the given map.

  86. Tree duplicates, $G_\delta$-diagonals and Gruenhage spaces.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We present an example in ZFC of a locally compact, scattered Hausdorff
    non-Gruenhage space $D$ having a $\G_delta$-diagonal. This answers a question
    posed by Orihuela, Troyanski and the author in a study of strictly convex norms
    on Banach spaces. In addition, we show that the Banach space of continuous
    functions $C_0(D)$ admits a $C^\infty$-smooth bump function.

    Authors: Du&#x161;an Repov&#x161;, Maxim V. Balashov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove that in the Hilbert space every uniformly convex set with modulus of
    convexity of the second order at zero is an intersection of closed balls of
    fixed radius. We also obtain an estimate of this radius.

  88. Shearlet frames with short support.

    Authors: Yi Shen, Song Li
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Compactly supported shearlets have been studied in both theory and
    applications. In this paper, we construct symmetric compactly supported
    shearlet systems based on pseudo splines of type II. Specially, using
    B-splines, we construct shearlet frame having explicit analytical forms which
    is important for applications. The shearlet systems based on B-splines also
    provide optimally sparse approximation within cartoon-liked image.

    Abstract

    The Egoroff theorem for measurable $\bold X$-valued functions and
    operator-valued measures $\bold m: \Sigma \to L(\bold X, \bold Y)$, where
    $\Sigma$ is a $\sigma$-algebra of subsets of $T \neq \emptyset$ and $\bold X$,
    $\bold Y$ are both locally convex spaces, is proved. The measure is supposed to
    be atomic and the convergence of functions is net.

  90. On vector-valued Dobrakov submeasures.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Ivan Dobrakov has initiated a theory of non-additive set functions defined on
    a ring of sets intended to be a non-additive generalization of the theory of
    finite non-negative countably additive measures. These set functions are now
    known as the Dobrakov submeasures. In this paper we extend Dobrakov's
    considerations to vector-valued submeasures defined on a ring of sets. The
    extension of such submeasures in the sense of Drewnowski is also given.

  91. Integration through Generalized Sequences.

    Authors: Elena Toneva
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The process of integration was a subject of significant development during
    the last century. Despite that the Lebesgue integral is complete and has many
    good properties, its inability to integrate all derivatives prompted the
    introduction of new approaches - Denjoy, Perron and others introduced new ways
    of integration aimed at preserving the good properties of the Lebesgue integral
    but extending the set of functions to which it could be applied. The goal was
    achieved but neither of the new approaches was elegant or simple or
    transparent.

  92. Firmly nonexpansive mappings and maximally monotone operators: correspondence and duality.

    Authors: Heinz H. Bauschke, Xianfu Wang, Sarah M. Moffat
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The notion of a firmly nonexpansive mapping is central in fixed point theory
    because of attractive convergence properties for iterates and the
    correspondence with maximal monotone operators due to Minty. In this paper, we
    systematically analyze the relationship between properties of firmly
    nonexpansive mappings and associated maximal monotone operators. Dual and
    self-dual properties are also identified. The results are illustrated through
    several examples.

  93. Factoring Pseudoidentity Matrix Pairs.

    Authors: Florian M. Sebert, Yi Ming Zou
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The problem of factorization and parametrization of compactly supported
    biorthogonal wavelets was reduced to that of pseudoidentity matrix pairs by
    Resnikoff, Tian, and Wells in their 2001 paper. Based on a conjecture on the
    pseudoidentity matrix pairs of rank 2 stated in the same paper, they proved a
    theorem which gives a complete factorization result for rank 2 compactly
    supported biorthogonal wavelets. In this paper, we first provide examples to
    show that the conjecture is not true, then we prove a factorization theorem for
    pseudoidentity matrix pairs of rank $m\ge 2$.

    Abstract

    We develop an information-theoretic perspective on some questions in convex
    geometry, providing for instance a new equipartition property for log-concave
    probability measures, some Gaussian comparison results for log-concave
    measures, an entropic formulation of the hyperplane conjecture, and a new
    reverse entropy power inequality for log-concave measures analogous to V.
    Milman's reverse Brunn-Minkowski inequality.

  95. Group Invariant Scattering.

    Authors: St&#xe9;phane Mallat
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Pattern classification often requires using translation invariant
    representations, which are stable and hence Lipschitz continuous to
    deformations. A Fourier transform does not provide such Lipschitz stability.
    Scattering operators are obtained by iterating on wavelet transforms and
    modulus operators. The resulting representation is proved to be translation
    invariant and Lipschitz continuous to deformations, up to a log term. It is
    computed with a non-linear convolution network, which scatters functions along
    an infinite set of paths.

  96. Null-orbit reflexive operators.

    Authors: Don Hadwin, Hassan Yousefi, Ileana Ionascu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce and study the notion of null-orbit reflexivity, which is a
    slight perturbation of the notion of orbit-reflexivity. Positive results for
    orbit reflexivity and the recent notion of $\mathbb{C}$-orbit reflexivity both
    extend to null-orbit reflexivity. Of the two known examples of operators that
    are not orbit-reflexive, one is null-orbit reflexive and the other is not. The
    class of null-orbit reflexive operators includes the classes of hyponormal,
    algebraic, compact, strictly block-upper (lower) triangular operators, and
    operators whose spectral radius is not 1.

  97. On multi-ideals and polynomial ideals of Banach spaces.

    Authors: Daniel Pellegrino, Joilson Ribeiro
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The notion of coherent sequences of polynomial ideals and the notion of
    compatibility of a polynomial ideal with a given operator ideal were recently
    introduced by D. Carando, V. Dimant and S. Muro. These concepts play an
    important role in the theory of polynomial ideals, since they offer some
    properties that polynomial ideals must satisfy in order to keep the spirit of a
    given operator ideal and also maintain some coherence between the different
    levels of $n$-homogeneity. However, it seems to exist no reason to omit the
    multi-ideals from these cycle of ideas.

  98. The generic differentiability of convex-concave functions: Characterization.

    Authors: Abbas Moameni
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    As established by R T. Rockafellar, real valued convex-concave functions are
    generically differentiable. It this paper we shall show that for a
    convex-concave function defined on an open convex set $C \times D,$ there exist
    dense subsets ${\cal N}$ of $C$ and ${\cal M}$ of $D$ such that the partial
    derivative with respect to the first variable (resp. second variable) exists on
    ${\cal N} \times D$ (resp. $C \times {\cal M}$) and therefore the function is
    differentiable on ${\cal N} \times {\cal M}$.

  99. Outer measure preserving ergodic transformations generate the Carath\'eodory definition of measurable sets.

    Authors: Amos N. Koeller
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is known that there are specific examples of ergodic transformations on
    measure spaces for which the calculation of the outer measure of transformation
    invariant sets leads to a condition closely resembling Carath\'eodory's
    condition for sets to be measurable. It is then natural to ask what functions
    are capable of `generating', that is leading to, the Carath\'eodory definition
    in the same way.

  100. Approximately Quadratic Mappings on Restricted Domains.

    Authors: Abbas Najati And Soon-Mo Jung
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we introduce a generalized quadratic functional equation $f(rx
    + sy) = rf(x) + sf(y) - rsf(x - y)$ where $r, s$ are nonzero real numbers with
    $r + s = 1.$ We show that this functional equation is quadratic if $r, s$ are
    rational numbers. We also investigate its stability problem on restricted
    domains. These results are applied to study of an asymptotic behavior of these
    generalized quadratic mappings.

  101. Minimization of the Probabilistic p-frame Potential.

    Authors: Martin Ehler, Kasso A. Okoudjou
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We investigate the optimal configurations of n points on the unit sphere for
    a class of potential functions. In particular, we characterize these optimal
    configurations in terms of their approximation properties within frame theory.
    Furthermore, we consider similar optimal configurations in terms of random
    distribution of points on the sphere. In this probabilistic setting, we
    characterize these optimal distributions by means of probabilistic frames. Our
    work also indicates some connections between statistical shape analysis and
    frame theory.

  102. Interpolation problems by completely positive maps.

    Authors: Chi-Kwong Li, Yiu-Tung Poon
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Given commuting families of Hermitian matrices {A1, ..., Ak} and {B1, ....,
    Bk}, conditions for the existence of a completely positive map L, such that
    L(Aj) = Bj for j = 1, ...,k, are studied. Additional properties such as unital
    or / and trace preserving on the map ? are also considered. Connections of the
    study to dilation theory, matrix inequalities, unitary orbits, and quantum
    information science are mentioned.

    Authors: C. E. Chidume, E. U. Ofoedu

    Abstract

    A gap in the proof of Theorem 3.5 in the paper ``A new iteration process for
    approximation of common fixed points for finite families of total asymtotically
    nonexpansive mappings". Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. vol. 2009,

    from line 8 from bottom to the end of the proof of the theorem is not correct.
    In this corrigendum, it is our aim to close this gap.

  104. An Inverse Function Theorem in Frechet Spaces.

    Authors: Ivar Ekeland
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    I present an inverse function theorem for differentiable maps between Frechet
    spaces which contains the classical theorem of Nash and Moser as a particular
    case. In contrast to the latter, the proof does not rely on the Newton
    iteration procedure, but on Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem and
    Ekeland's variational principle. As a consequence, the assumptions are
    substantially weakened: the map F to be inverted is not required to be C^2, or
    even C^1, or even Frechet-differentiable.

  105. Spectral analysis on infinite Sierpinski fractafolds.

    Authors: Alexander Teplyaev, Robert Strichartz
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A fractafold, a space that is locally modeled on a specified fractal, is the
    fractal equivalent of a manifold. For compact fractafolds based on the
    Sierpinski gasket, it was shown by the first author how to compute the discrete
    spectrum of the Laplacian in terms of the spectrum of a finite graph Laplacian.
    A similar problem was solved by the second author for the case of infinite
    blowups of a Sierpinski gasket, where spectrum is pure point of infinite
    multiplicity. Both works used the method of spectral decimations to obtain
    explicit description of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.

    For Banach left and right module actions, we will establish the relationships
    between topological centers of module actions with some result in the weak

  107. A new look at the John-Nirenberg and John-Stromberg theorems for BMO. Lecture Notes.

    Authors: Michael Cwikel, Yoram Sagher, Pavel Shvartsman
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We develop some techniques for studying various versions of the function
    space BMO. Special cases of one of our results give alternative proofs of the
    celebrated John- Nirenberg inequality and of related inequalities due to John
    and to Wik. Our approach enables us to pose a simply formulated "geometric"
    question, for which an affirmative answer would lead to a version of the
    John-Nirenberg inequality with dimension free constants.

  108. Arens Regularity of Tensor Products and Weak Amenability of Banach Algebras.

    Authors: Kazem Haghnejad Azar
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this note, we study the Arens regularity of projective tensor product
    $A\hat{\otimes}B$ whenever $A$ and $B$ are Arens regular. We establish some new
    conditions for showing that the Banach algebras $A$ and $B$ are Arens regular
    if and only if $A\hat{\otimes}B$ is Arens regular. We also introduce some new
    concepts as left-weak$^*$-weak convergence property [$Lw^*wc-$property] and
    right-weak$^*$-weak convergence property [$Rw^*wc-$property] and for Banach
    algebra $A$, suppose that $A^*$ and $A^{**}$, respectively, have
    $Rw^*wc-$property and $Lw^*wc-$property.

  109. A geometric construction of tight Gabor frames with multivariate compactly supported smooth windows.

    Authors: G&#xf6;tz E. Pfander, Peter Rashkov, Yang Wang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The geometry of fundamental domains of lattices was used by Han and Wang to
    construct multivariate Gabor frames for separable lattices. We build upon their
    results to obtain Gabor frames with smooth and compactly supported window
    functions. For this purpose we study pairs of lattices which have equal density
    and allow for a common compact and star-shaped fundamental domain. The results
    are then extended to a larger class of lattices via symplectic equivalence.

  110. Sampling of operators.

    Authors: G&#xf6;tz E. Pfander
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Sampling and reconstruction of functions is a central tool in science. A key
    result is given by the sampling theorem for bandlimited functions attributed to
    Whittaker, Shannon, Nyquist, and Kotelnikov. We develop an analogous sampling
    theory for operators which we call bandlimited if their Kohn-Nirenberg symbols
    are bandlimited. We prove sampling theorems for such operators and show that
    they are extensions of the classical sampling theorem.

  111. Invertibility threshold for $H^\infty$ trace algebras, and effective matrix inversions.

    Authors: Nikolai Nikolski, Vasily Vasyunin
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For a given $\delta$, $0<\delta<1$, a Blaschke sequence
    $\sigma=\{\lambda_j\}$ is constructed such that every function $f$, $f\in
    H^\infty$, having
    $\delta<\delta_f=\inf_{\lambda\in\sigma}|f(\lambda)|\le\|f\|_\infty\le1$ is
    invertible in the trace algebra $H^\infty|\sigma$ (with a norm estimate of the
    inverse depending on $\delta_f$ only), but there exists $f$ with
    $\delta=\delta_f\le\|f\|_\infty\le1$, which does not.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we prove the weak and strong convergence of the implicit
    iterative process with errors to a common fixed point of a finite family
    $\{T_j\}_{i=1}^N$ of asymptotically quasi $I_j-$nonexpansive mappings as well
    as a family of $\{I_j\}_{j=1}^N$ of asymptotically quasi nonexpansive mappings
    in the framework of Banach spaces.

  113. The Schur-Horn Theorem for Operators with Three Point Spectrum.

    Authors: John Jasper
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We characterize the set of diagonals of the unitary orbit of a self-adjoint
    operator with three points in the spectrum. Our result gives a Schur-Horn
    theorem for operators with three point spectrum analogous to Kadison's result
    for orthogonal projections.

  114. Minimal spectral functions of an ordinary differential operator.

    Authors: Vadim Mogilevskii
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $l[y]$ be a formally selfadjoint differential expression of an even order
    on the interval $[0,b> \;(b\leq \infty)$ and let $L_0$ be the corresponding
    minimal operator. By using the concept of a decomposing boundary triplet we
    consider the boundary problem formed by the equation $l[y]-\l y=f\;(f\in
    L_2[0,b>)$ and the Nevanlinna $\l$-depending boundary conditions with constant
    values at the regular endpoint 0.

  115. Steiner equiangular tight frames.

    Authors: Matthew Fickus, Dustin G. Mixon, Janet C. Tremain
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We provide a new method for constructing equiangular tight frames (ETFs). The
    construction is valid in both the real and complex settings, and shows that
    many of the few previously-known examples of ETFs are but the first
    representatives of infinite families of such frames. It provides great freedom
    in terms of the frame's size and redundancy. This method also explicitly
    constructs the frame vectors in their native domain, as opposed to implicitly
    defining them via their Gram matrix. Moreover, in this domain, the frame
    vectors are very sparse.

    Interpretations of the Beurling-Lax-Halmos Theorem on invariant subspaces of
    the unilateral shift are explored using the language of Hilbert modules.
    Extensions and consequences are considered in both the one and multivariate
    cases with an emphasis on the classical Hardy, Bergman and Drury-Arveson
    spaces.

    Let $\xi = \{x^j\}_{j=1}^n$ be a grid of $n$ points in the $d$-cube
    ${\II}^d:=[0,1]^d$, and $\Phi = \{\phi_j\}_{j =1}^n$ a family of $n$ functions
    on ${\II}^d$. We define the linear sampling algorithm $L_n(\Phi,\xi,\cdot)$ for
    an approximate recovery of a continuous function $f$ on ${\II}^d$ from the
    sampled values $f(x^1), ..., f(x^n)$, by $$L_n(\Phi,\xi,f)\ := \ \sum_{j=1}^n
    f(x^j)\phi_j$$.

  118. Compactly Supported Shearlets.

    Authors: Gitta Kutyniok, Jakob Lemvig, Wang-Q Lim
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Shearlet theory has become a central tool in analyzing and representing 2D
    data with anisotropic features. Shearlet systems are systems of functions
    generated by one single generator with parabolic scaling, shearing, and
    translation operators applied to it, in much the same way wavelet systems are
    dyadic scalings and translations of a single function, but including a precise
    control of directionality. Of the many directional representation systems
    proposed in the last decade, shearlets are among the most versatile and
    successful systems.

  119. Constructing pairs of dual bandlimited frame wavelets in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$.

    Authors: Jakob Lemvig
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Given a real, expansive dilation matrix we prove that any bandlimited
    function $\psi \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, for which the dilations of its Fourier
    transform form a partition of unity, generates a wavelet frame for certain
    translation lattices. Moreover, there exists a dual wavelet frame generated by
    a finite linear combination of dilations of $\psi$ with explicitly given
    coefficients. The result allows a simple construction procedure for pairs of
    dual wavelet frames whose generators have compact support in the Fourier domain
    and desired time localization.

  120. Rate of decay of s-numbers.

    Authors: Timur Oikhberg
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For an operator $T \in B(X,Y)$, we denote by $a_m(T)$, $c_m(T)$, $d_m(T)$,
    and $t_m(T)$ its approximation, Gelfand, Kolmogorov, and absolute numbers. We
    show that, for any infinite dimensional Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, and any
    sequence $\alpha_m \searrow 0$, there exists $T \in B(X,Y)$ for which the
    inequality $$ 3 \alpha_{\lceil m/6 \rceil} \geq a_m(T) \geq \max\{c_m(t),
    d_m(T)\} \geq \min\{c_m(t), d_m(T)\} \geq t_m(T) \geq \alpha_m/9 $$ holds for
    every $m \in \N$. Similar results are obtained for other $s$-scales.

  121. Infinite Bar-Joint Frameworks, Crystals and Operator Theory.

    Authors: J.C. Owen, S.C. power
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A theory of flexibility and rigidity is developed for general infinite
    bar-joint frameworks (G,p). Determinations of nondeformability through
    vanishing flexibility are obtained as well as sufficient conditions for
    deformability. Forms of infinitesimal flexibility are defined in terms of the
    operator theory of the associated infinite rigidity matrix R(G,p). The
    matricial symbol function of an abstract crystal framework is introduced, being
    the matrix-valued function on the $d$-torus representing R(G,p) as a Hilbert
    space operator.

  122. A mini-max problem for self-adjoint Toeplitz matrices.

    Authors: Dennis Courtney, Donald Sarason
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study a minimum problem and associated maximum problem for finite,
    complex, self-adjoint Toeplitz matrices. If $A$ is such a matrix, of size
    $(N+1)$-by-$(N+1)$, we identify $A$ with the operator it represents on $P_N$,
    the space of complex polynomials of degrees at most $N$, with the usual Hilbert
    space structure it inherits as a subspace of $L^2$ of the unit circle. The
    operator $A$ is the compression to $P_N$ of the multiplication operator on
    $L^2$ induced by any function in $L^{\infty}$ whose Fourier coefficients of
    indices between $-N$ and $N$ match the matrix entries of $A$.

    Authors: Peter Balazs, Diana T. Stoeva, Jean-Pierre Antoine
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This note is a survey and collection of results, as well as presenting some
    original research. For Bessel sequences and frames, the analysis, synthesis and
    frame operators as well as the Gram matrix are well-known, bounded operators.
    We investigate these operators for arbitrary sequences, which in general lead
    to possibly unbounded operators. We characterize various classes of sequences
    in terms of these operators and vice-versa. Finally, we classify these
    sequences by operators applied on orthonormal bases.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we investigate the roles of compact sets in the space of
    tempered distributions $\mathscr{S}^{\prime}$. The key notion is "k-spaces",
    which constitute a fairly general class of topological spaces. In a k-space,
    the system of compact sets controls continuous functions and Borel measures.

  125. A simple and consistent definition of homogeneous Besov spaces on stratified Lie groups.

    Authors: Hartmut F&#xfc;hr
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce a general definition of homogeneous Besov spaces on a stratified
    Lie group $G$, based on a Littlewood-Paley-type decomposition of Schwartz
    functions with all moments vanishing. We show that under mild and intuitive
    conditions the spaces thus defined are independent of the decomposition
    employed. A corollary of this is that previously constructed versions of
    homogeneous Besov spaces on $G$, relying on the spectral calculus of a
    sub-Laplacian of the group, are consistent, i.e., independent of the choice of
    sub-Laplacian.

  126. Remarks on the generalized roundness of spherically symmetric trees.

    Authors: Ian Doust, Anthony Weston
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we consider spherically symmetric trees endowed with the usual
    combinatorial metric (SSTs). Using a simple geometric argument we show how to
    determine decent upper bounds on the generalized roundness of finite SSTs that
    depend only on the downward degree sequence of the tree in question. By
    considering limits it follows that if the downward degree sequence $(d_{0},
    d_{1}, d_{2}, \ldots)$ of a SST $(T,\rho)$ satisfies $|\{ j \, | \, d_{j} > 1
    \}| = \aleph_{0}$, then $(T,\rho)$ has generalized roundness one.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that if an element of the norm closed algebra generated by all
    Toeplitz operators commutes with a Toeplitz operator of a nonconstant
    polynomial, then this element is a Toeplitz operator of a bounded holomorphic
    function.

    Abstract

    In this paper, we study unitary Gaussian processes with independent
    increments with which the unitary equivalence to a Hudson-Parthasarathy
    evolution systems is proved. This gives a generalization of results in [16] and
    [17] in the absence of the stationarity condition.

  130. Balanced distribution-energy inequalities and related entropy bounds.

    Authors: Michel Rumin
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $A$ be a self-adjoint operator acting over a space $X$ endowed with a
    partition. We give lower bounds on the energy of a mixed state $\rho$ from its
    distribution in the partition and the spectral density of $A$. These bounds
    improve with the refinement of the partition, and generalize inequalities by
    Li-Yau and Lieb--Thirring for the Laplacian in $\R^n$. They imply an
    uncertainty principle, giving a lower bound on the sum of the spatial entropy
    of $\rho$, as seen from $X$, and some spectral entropy, with respect to its
    energy distribution.

  131. Functions of normal operators under perturbations.

    Authors: Denis Potapov, Fedor Sukochev, Alexei Aleksandrov, Vladimir Peller
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In \cite{Pe1}, \cite{Pe2}, \cite{AP1}, \cite{AP2}, and \cite{AP3} sharp
    estimates for $f(A)-f(B)$ were obtained for self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$
    and for various classes of functions $f$ on the real line $\R$. In this paper
    we extend those results to the case of functions of normal operators. We show
    that if a function $f$ belongs to the H\"older class $\L_\a(\R^2)$, $0<\a<1$,
    of functions of two variables, and $N_1$ and $N_2$ are normal operators, then
    $\|f(N_1)-f(N_2)\|\le\const\|f\|_{\L_\a}\|N_1-N_2\|^\a$.

    The existence of a ground state of the Nelson Hamiltonian with a perturbation
    is considered. The self-adjointness of the Hamiltonian and the existence of a

  133. Nevanlinna-Pick Interpolation and Factorization of Linear Functionals.

    Authors: Kenneth R. Davidson, Ryan Hamilton
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    If $\fA$ is a unital weak-* closed subalgebra of a multiplier algebra on a
    reproducing kernel Hilbert space which has property $\bA_1(1)$, then the cyclic
    invariant subspaces index a Nevanlinna-Pick (NP) family of kernels. This yields
    an NP interpolation theorem for a wide class of operator algebras.

    In particular, it applies to many kernel spaces over the unit disk including
    the Bergman space. We also show that the multiplier algebra of a complete NP
    space has $\bA_1(1)$, and thus this result applies to all of its subalgebras.

    For the periodic matrix-valued Jacobi operator $J$ we obtain the estimate of

    $a_n$ are off-diagonal elements of $J$.

    given. Norms of the derivatives of coefficients of the characteristic
    polynomial are evaluated exactly.

    Dual pseudo splines constitute a new class of refinable functions with
    B-splines as special examples, which was introduced in \cite{DHSS}. In this

    Furthermore, we use dual pseudo splines to construct tight frame systems with

    Compressed sensing is a new scheme which shows the ability to recover sparse

    Abstract

    We introduce the notion of theta-antieigenvalue and theta-antieigenvector of
    a bounded linear operator on complex Hilbert space and study the realtion
    between theta-antieigenvalue and centre of mass of a bounded linear operator.
    We show that the notion of real antieigenvalue, imaginary antieigenvalue and
    symmetric antieigenvalue follows as a special case of theta-antieigenvalue. We
    also show how the notion of total antieigenvalue is related to the
    theta-antieigenvalue. In fact, we show that all the notions of antieigenvalues
    studied so far follows from the concept of theta- antieigenvalue.

    which are completeness, AK-property, AD-property. Also, we compute the alpha,
    beta and gamma duals, and obtain bases for these sequence spaces. Finally,
    necessary and sufficient conditions on an infinite matrix belonging to the
    classes (c(u,v,):\ell_{\infty}) and (c(u,v,):c) are established.

  142. Improved Sobolev Inequalities and Muckenhoupt weights on stratified Lie groups.

    Authors: Diego Chamorro
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study in this article the Improved Sobolev inequalities with Muckenhoupt
    weights within the framework of stratified Lie groups. This family of
    inequalities estimate the Lq norm of a function by the geometric mean of two
    norms corresponding to Sobolev spaces W(s;p) and Besov spaces B(-b, infty,
    infty). When the value p which characterizes Sobolev space is strictly larger
    than 1, the required result is well known in R^n and is classically obtained by
    a Littlewood-Paley dyadic blocks manipulation. For these inequalities we will
    develop here another totally different technique.

  143. Homogeneous Besov spaces on stratified Lie groups and their wavelet characterization.

    Authors: Hartmut Fuehr, Azita Mayeli
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We establish wavelet characterizations of homogeneous Besov spaces on
    stratified Lie groups, both in terms of continuous and discrete wavelet
    systems. The associated transform is an analogue of the $\phi$-transform
    introduced by Frazier and Jawerth for the characterization of function spaces
    in the Euclidean setting.

  144. Gamma-convergence of nonlocal perimeter functionals.

    Authors: Luigi Ambrosio, Luca Martinazzi, Guido De Philippis

    Gamma-converge to the perimeter in the sense of De Giorgi.

  145. Subspaces of almost Daugavet spaces.

    Authors: Simon L&#xfc;cking
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study the almost Daugavet property, a generalization of the Daugavet
    property. It is analysed what kind of subspaces and sums of Banach spaces with
    the almost Daugavet property have this property as well. The main result of the
    paper is: if $Z$ is a closed subspace of a separable almost Daugavet space $X$
    such that the quotient space $X/Z$ contains no copy of $\ell_1$, then $Z$ has
    the almost Daugavet property, too.

  146. Operators that achieve the norm.

    Authors: Wladimir Neves, Xavier Carvajal
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we introduce a complete naive theory of operators on complex
    Hilbert spaces, which achieve the norm in the unit sphere. We prove some
    important results concerning the characterization of the AN operators, see
    Definition 1.2. The class of AN operators contains the algebra of the compact
    ones. Furthermore, we also study the operators that attains their minimum in
    the unit sphere. At the end of this analysis, we propose a Conjecture referring
    to the structure of positive AN operators.

    In this article we consider linear operators satisfying a generalized
    commutation relation of a type of the Heisenberg-Lie algebra. It is proven that
    a generalized inequality of the Hardy's uncertainty principle lemma follows.
    Its applications to time operators and abstract Dirac operators are also
    investigated.

  149. Arens regularity and weak topological center of module actions.

    Authors: Kazem Haghnejad Azar
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $A^{**}$ be the second dual of it. We define
    $\tilde{Z}_1(A^{**})$ as a weak topological center of $A^{**}$ with respect to
    first Arens product and we will find some relations between this concept and
    the topological center of $A^{**}$. We also extend this new definition into the
    module actions and find relationship between weak topological center of module
    actions and reflexivity or Arens regularity of some Banach algebras, and we
    investigate some applications of this new definition in the weak amenability of
    some Banach algebras.

  150. On the two-dimensional moment problem.

    Authors: Sergey M. Zagorodnyuk
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we obtain an algorithm towards solving the two-dimensional
    moment problem. This algorithm gives the necessary and sufficient conditions
    for the solvability of the moment problem. It is shown that all solutions of

    Authors: Dilian Yang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    By exploring the relations among functional equations, harmonic analysis and
    representation theory, we give a unified and very accessible approach to solve
    three important functional equations -- the d'Alembert equation, the Wilson
    equation, and the d'Alembert long equation, on compact groups.

  152. Weighted norm inequalities for pseudo-differential operators with smooth symbols and their commutators.

    Authors: Lin Tang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We obtain weighted $L^p$ inequalities for pseudo-differential operators with
    smooth symbols and their commutators by using a class of new weight functions
    which include Muckenhoupt weight functions. Our results improve essentially
    some well-known results.

  153. Module of continuity for the functions belonging to the Sobolev-Grand Lebesgue Spaces.

    Authors: Ostrovsky E., Sirota L
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this short article we generalize the Sobolev's inequalities for the module
    of continuity for the functions belonging to the classical Lebesgue space on
    the (Bilateral) Grand Lebesgue spaces. We construct also some examples in order
    to show the exactness of obtained results.

  154. Continuity condition for concave functions on convex $\mu$-compact sets and its applications in quantum physics.

    Authors: M.E.Shirokov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A method of proving local continuity of concave functions on convex set
    possessing the $\mu$-compactness property is presented. This method is based on
    a special approximation of these functions.

    The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be considered as a natural extension of
    the class of compact metrizable subsets of locally convex spaces, to which
    particular results well known for compact sets can be generalized.

    Applications of the obtained continuity conditions to analysis of different
    entropic characteristics of quantum systems and channels are considered.

  155. Generalized vectorial Lebesgue and Bochner integration theory.

    Authors: Victor M. Bogdan
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper contains a development of the Theory of Lebesgue and Bochner
    spaces of summable functions. It represents a synthesis of the results due to
    H. Lebesgue, S. Banach, S. Bochner, G. Fubini, S. Saks, F. Riesz, N. Dunford,
    P. Halmos, and other contributors to this theory.

    The construction of the theory is based on the notion of a measure on a
    prering of sets in any abstract space X. No topological structure of the space
    X is required for the development of the theory.

  156. Fractional generalizations of Young and Brunn-Minkowski inequalities.

    Authors: Mokshay Madiman, Sergey Bobkov, Liyao Wang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A generalization of Young's inequality for convolution with sharp constant is
    conjectured for scenarios where more than two functions are being convolved,
    and it is proven for certain parameter ranges. The conjecture would provide a
    unified proof of recent entropy power inequalities of Barron and Madiman, as
    well as of a (conjectured) generalization of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. It
    is shown that the generalized Brunn-Minkowski conjecture is true for convex
    sets; an application of this to the law of large numbers for random sets is
    described.

    fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$, where $\alpha\in (0,2)$.

  158. Loomis--Sikorski Theorem and Stone Duality for Effect Algebras with Internal State.

    Authors: D. Buhagiar, E. Chetcutti, A. Dvurecenskij
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Recently Flaminio and Montagna, \cite{FlMo}, extended the language of
    MV-algebras by adding a unary operation, called a state-operator. This notion
    is introduced here also for effect algebras. Having it, we generalize the
    Loomis--Sikorski Theorem for monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras with
    internal state. In addition, we show that the category of divisible
    state-morphism effect algebras satisfying (RDP) and countable interpolation
    with an order determining system of states is dual to the category of Bauer
    simplices $\Omega$ such that $\partial_e \Omega$ is an F-space.

  159. An inclusion principle for general classes of nonlinear absolutely summing maps.

    Authors: Daniel Pellegrino
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The inclusion theorem for absolutely summing linear operators asserts that
    under certain assumptions on $p_{1},p_{2},q_{1}$ and $q_{2},$ every absolutely
    $(q_{1},p_{1})$-summing linear operator is also absolutely
    $(q_{2},p_{2}%)$-summing. In this note we obtain some variants of this result
    in a completely nonlinear setting.

  160. Frequently hypercyclic semigroups.

    Authors: E. M. Mangino, A. Peris
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study frequent hypercyclicity in the context of strongly continuous
    semigroups of operators. More precisely, we give a criterion (sufficient
    condition) for a semigroup to be frequently hypercyclic, whose formulation
    depends on the Pettis integral. This criterion can be verified in certain cases
    in terms of the infinitesimal generator of semigroup.

    Authors: Turdebek N. Bekjan, Zeqian Chen, Peide Liu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper is devoted to the study of noncommutative weak Orlicz spaces.
    Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem is extended to include noncommutative weak
    Orlicz spaces as interpolation classes. In particular, we prove the
    Burkholder-Gundy inequality in the setting of noncommutative weak Orlicz
    spaces.

  162. C-orbit reflexive operators.

    Authors: Don Hadwin, Hassan Yousefi, Ileana Ionascu, Michael McHugh
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce the notion of C-orbit reflexivity and study its properties. An
    operator on a finite-dimensional space is C-orbit reflexive if and only if the
    two largest blocks in its Jordan form corresponding to nonzero eigenvalues with
    the largest modulus differ in size by at most one. Most of the proofs of our
    results in infinite dimensions are obtained from purely algebraic results we
    obtain from linear-algebraic analogs of C-orbit reflexivity.

  163. Directionally Euclidean Structures of Banach Spaces.

    Authors: Jarno Talponen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study spaces with directionally asymptotically controlled ellipsoids
    approximating the unit ball in finite-dimensions. These ellipsoids are the
    unique minimum volume ellipsoids, which contain the unit ball of the
    corresponding finite-dimensional subspace. The directional control here means
    that we evaluate the ellipsoids with a given functional of the dual space. The
    term asymptotical refers to the fact that we take '$\limsup$' over
    finite-dimensional subspaces.

  164. The sum of a maximal monotone operator of type (FPV) and a maximal monotone operator with full domain is maximal monotone.

    Authors: Liangjin Yao
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the
    maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximal monotone operators provided that
    Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we provide a new
    maximal monotonicity result for the sum of two maximal monotone operators $A$
    and $B$ in this setting satisfying that $A+N_{\bar{\dom B}}$ is of type (FPV)
    and $\dom A\cap\bar{\dom B}\subseteq\dom B$. The proof relies on some results
    on the Fitzpatrick function.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we study the two-dimensional moment problem in a strip $\Pi(R)
    = \{ (x_1,x_2)\in \mathbb{R}^2:\ |x_2| \leq R \}$, $R>0$. We obtained a
    solvability criterion for this moment problem. We derived a parameterization of
    all solutions of the moment problem. An abstract operator approach and results
    of Godi\v{c}, Lucenko and Shtraus are used.

  166. M-ideals of homogeneous polynomials.

    Authors: Veronica Dimant
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study the problem of whether $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$, the space of
    $n$-homogeneous polynomials which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an
    $M$-ideal in the space of continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomials
    $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. We obtain conditions that assure this fact and present some
    examples. We prove that if $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ is an $M$-ideal in
    $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$, then $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ coincides with
    $\mathcal{P}_{w0}(^nE)$ ($n$-homogeneous polynomials that are weakly continuous
    on bounded sets at 0).

    Problems about attainability in topological spaces are considered. Some
    nonsequential version of the Warga approximate solutions is investigated: we
    use filters and ultrafilters of measurable spaces. Attraction sets are
    constructed.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this article, for Banach left and right module actions, we will extend
    some propositions from Lau and $\ddot{U}lger$ into general situations and we
    establish the relationships between topological centers of module actions. We
    also introduce the new concepts as $Lw^*w$-property and $Rw^*w$-property for
    Banach $A-bimodule$ $B$ and we investigate the relations between them and
    topological center of module actions. We have some applications in dual groups.

  170. Slowly Changing Vectors and the Asymptotic Finite-Dimensionality of an Operator Semigroup.

    Authors: K. V. Storozhuk
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $T:X\to X$ be a linear power bounded operator on Banach space. Let $X_0$
    is a subspace of vectors tending to zero under iterating of $T$. We prove that
    if $X_0$ is not equal to $X$ then there exists $\lambda$ in Sp(T) such that,
    for every $\epsilon>0$, there is $x$ such that $|Tx-\lambda x|<\epsilon $ but
    $|T^nx|>1-\epsilon$ for all $n$. The technique we develop enables us to
    establish that if $X$ is reflexive and there exists a compactum $K$ in $X$ such
    that for every norm-one $x\in X$ $\rho\{T^nx, K\}<\alpha (T)<1$ for some
    $n=n_1, n_2,...$ then $codim(X_0)<\infty$.

    Authors: Zeljko Cuckovic, Sonmez Sahutoglu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $\mathbb{D}^n$ be the polydisk in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and the symbols
    $\phi,\psi\in C(\bar{\mathbb{D}^n})$ such that $\phi$ and $\psi$ are
    pluriharmonic on any $(n-1)$-dimensional polydisk in the boundary of
    $\mathbb{D}^{n}.$ Then $H^*_{\psi}H_{\phi}$ is compact on $A^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$
    if and only if for every $1\leq j,k\leq n$ such that $j\neq k$ and any
    $(n-1)$-dimensional polydisk $D$, orthogonal to the $z_j$-axis in the boundary
    of $\mathbb{D}^n,$ either $\phi$ or $\psi$ is holomorphic in $z_k$ on $D.$
    Furthermore, we prove a different sufficient condition for compactnes of the
    products o

    Abstract

    This note records some dilation theorems about contraction semigroups on a
    Hilbert space - all of which fall into the categories "known" or "probably
    known" - that I proved while working on my PhD in mathematics (under the
    supervision of Baruch Solel). It is convenient to have them recorded for
    reference.

  173. Isoperimetric Bounds on Convex Manifolds.

    Authors: Emanuel Milman
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We extend several Cheeger-type isoperimetric bounds for convex sets in
    Euclidean space, due to Bobkov and Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits, to Riemannian
    manifolds having non-negative Ricci curvature. In order to extend Bobkov's
    bound, we require in addition an upper bound on the sectional curvature of the
    space, which permits us to use comparison tools in Cartan-Alexandrov-Toponogov
    (or CAT) spaces. Along the way, we also quantitatively improve our previous
    result that weak concentration assumptions imply a Cheeger-type isoperimetric
    bound, to a sharp bound with respect to all parameters.

    Authors: Heinz H. Bauschke, Xianfu Wang, Sarah M. Moffat
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The proximal average of two convex functions has proven to be a useful tool
    in convex analysis. In this note, we express Goebel's self-dual smoothing
    operator in terms of the proximal average, which allows us to give a simple
    proof of self duality. We also provide a novel self-dual smoothing operator.
    Both operators are illustrated by smoothing the norm.

  175. Minimization of Constrained Quadratic forms in Hilbert Spaces.

    Authors: Dimitrios Pappas
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A common optimization problem is the minimization of a symmetric positive
    definite quadratic form $< x,Tx >$ under linear constrains. The solution to
    this problem may be given using the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. In this work
    we extend this result to infinite dimensional complex Hilbert spaces, making
    use of the generalized inverse of an operator. A generalization is given for
    positive diagonizable and arbitrary positive operators, not necessarily
    invertible, considering as constraint a singular operator.

  176. Direct sums and the Szlenk index.

    Authors: Philip A. H. Brooker
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For $\alpha$ an ordinal and $1<p<\infty$, we determine a necessary and
    sufficient condition for an $\ell_p$-direct sum of operators to have Szlenk
    index not exceeding $\omega^\alpha$. It follows from our results that the
    Szlenk index of an $\ell_p$-direct sum of operators is determined in a natural
    way by the behaviour of the $\epsilon$-Szlenk indices of its summands. Our
    methods give similar results for $c_0$-direct sums.

  177. Factorisation properties and space ideals associated with the Szlenk index.

    Authors: Philip A. H. Brooker
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For $\alpha$ an ordinal, we study factorisation properties of the operator
    ideal $\mathscr{SZ}_\alpha$ of $\alpha$-Szlenk operators. We obtain
    quantitative factorisation results for Asplund operators in terms of the Szlenk
    index and a partial characterisation of those ordinals $\alpha$ for which
    $\mathscr{SZ}_\alpha$ has the factorisation property. Our investigations lead
    to the study of a class of space ideals defined in terms of a renorming
    property involving the Szlenk index.

  178. Operator ideals associated with the Szlenk index.

    Authors: Philip A. H. Brooker
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For $\alpha$ an ordinal, we investigate the class $\mathscr{SZ}_\alpha$
    consisting of all operators whose Szlenk index is an ordinal not exceeding
    $\omega^\alpha$. Our main result is that $\mathscr{SZ}_\alpha$ is a closed,
    injective, surjective operator ideal for each $\alpha$. We also study the
    relationship between the classes $\mathscr{SZ}_\alpha$ and several well-known
    closed operator ideals.

    Authors: Heinz H. Bauschke, Xianfu Wang
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that the set of fixed points of the average of two resolvents can be
    found from the set of fixed points for compositions of two resolvents
    associated with scaled monotone operators. Recently, the proximal average has
    attracted considerable attention in convex analysis. Our results imply that the
    minimizers of proximal-average functions can be found from the set of fixed
    points for compositions of two proximal mappings associated with scaled convex
    functions.

    Authors: Zsolt Langi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A real semi-inner-product space is a real vector space $M$ equipped with a
    function $[.,.] : M \times M \to \Re$ which is linear in its first variable,
    strictly positive and satisfies the Schwartz inequality. It is well-known that
    the function $||x|| = \sqrt{[x,x]}$ defines a norm on $M$, and, vica versa, for
    every norm on $X$ there is a semi inner product satisfying this equality. A
    linear operator $A$ on $M$ is called adjoint abelian with respect to $[.,.]$,
    if it satisfies $[Ax,y]=[x,Ay]$ for every $x,y \in M$.

    The first and second representation theorems for sign-indefinite, not
    necessarily semi-bounded quadratic forms are revisited. New straightforward
    proofs of these theorems are given. A number of necessary and sufficient

    simple and explicit example of a self-adjoint operator for which the second
    representation theorem does not hold is also provided.

  187. Weighted norm inequalities, Gaussian bounds and sharp spectral multipliers.

    Authors: Adam Sikora, Xuan Thinh Duong, Lixin Yan
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $L$ be a non-negative self adjoint operator acting on $L^2(X)$ where $X$
    is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that $L$ generates a holomorphic
    semigroup $e^{-tL}$ whose kernels $p_t(x,y)$ have Gaussian upper bounds but
    possess no regularity in variables $x$ and $y$. In this article, we study
    weighted $L^p$-norm inequalities for spectral multipliers of $L$. We show sharp
    weighted H\"ormander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from Gaussian
    heat kernel bounds and appropriate $L^2$ estimates of the kernels of the
    spectral multipliers.

    Authors: R.Haydon, E.Odell, Th.Schlumprecht
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove that if $X$ is a subspace of $L_p$ $(2<p<\infty)$, then either $X$
    embeds isomorphically into $\ell_p \oplus \ell_2$ or $X$ contains a subspace
    $Y,$ which is isomorphic to $\ell_p(\ell_2)$. We also give an intrinsic
    characterization of when $X$ embeds into $\ell_p \oplus \ell_2$ in terms of
    weakly null trees in $X$ or, equivalently, in terms of the "infinite asymptotic
    game" played in $X$. This solves problems concerning small subspaces of $L_p$
    originating in the 1970's.

    the equation $(-\Delta)^m u_k=\lambda_k u_k e^{mu_k^2}$ subject to Dirichlet
    boundary conditions, where $0<\lambda_k\to 0$. Assuming that
    $$\Lambda:=\lim_{k\to\infty}\int_\Omega u_k(-\Delta)^m u_k dx<\infty,$$ we
    prove that $\Lambda$ is an integer multiple of
    $\Lambda_1:=(2m-1)!\vol(S^{2m})$, the total $Q$-curvature of the standard
    $2m$-dimensional sphere.

    Authors: Brendan Farrell

    Abstract

    matrices when a random set of columns and rows is removed.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Notes from a course taught by Palle Jorgensen in the fall semester of 2009.
    The course covered central themes in functional analysis and operator theory,

    integration.

  193. Finite-Dimensional Bicomplex Hilbert Spaces.

    Authors: Raphael Gervais Lavoie Louis Marchildon Dominic Rochon
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper is a detailed study of finite-dimensional modules defined on
    bicomplex numbers. A number of results are proved on bicomplex square matrices,
    linear operators, orthogonal bases, self-adjoint operators and Hilbert spaces,
    including the spectral decomposition theorem. Applications to concepts relevant
    to quantum mechanics, like the evolution operator, are pointed out.

    inequalities for the product of the convex functions.

  196. The cofinal property of the Reflexive Indecomposable Banach spaces.

    Authors: Spiros A. Argyros, Theocharis Raikoftsalis
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is shown that every separable reflexive Banach space is a quotient of a
    reflexive Hereditarily Indecomposable space, which yields that every separable
    reflexive Banach is isomorphic to a subspace of a reflexive Indecomposable
    space. Furthermore, every separable reflexive Banach space is a quotient of a
    reflexive complementably $\ell_p$ saturated space with $1<p<\infty$ and of a
    $c_0$ saturated space.

  197. Diffusive wavelets on groups and homogeneous spaces.

    Authors: Jens Wirth, Svend Ebert
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The aim of this exposition is to explain basic ideas behind the concept of
    diffusive wavelets on spheres in the language of representation theory of Lie
    groups and within the framework of the group Fourier transform given by
    Peter-Weyl decomposition of $L^2(G)$ for a compact Lie group $G$.

    After developing a general concept for compact groups and their homogeneous
    spaces we give concrete examples for tori -which reflect the situation on
    $R^n$- and for spheres $S^2$ and $S^3$.

  198. More (\ell_r) saturated (\mathcal{L}_\infty) spaces.

    Authors: I. Gasparis, M.K. Papadiamantis, D.Z. Zisimopoulou
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We present some new examples of separable (\mathcal_\infty) spaces which are
    (\ell_r) saturated for some (1 < r < \infty).

  199. Abstract framework for John Nirenberg inequalities and applications to Hardy spaces.

    Authors: Frederic Bernicot, Jiman Zhao
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we develop an abstract framework for John-Nirenberg
    inequalities associated to BMO-type spaces. This work can be seen as the sequel
    of [5], where the authors introduced a very general framework for atomic and
    molecular Hardy spaces. Moreover, we show that our assumptions allow us to
    recover some already known John-Nirenberg inequalities. We give applications to
    the atomic Hardy spaces too.

  200. Smooth Gluing in the Kernel of Underdetermined Elliptic Operators, with Applications.

    Authors: Erwann Delay
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that two smooth elements in the kernel of certain underdetermined
    linear elliptic operators P can be glued in a chosen region in order to obtain
    a new smooth solution. This new solution is exactly equal to the starting
    elements outside the gluing region. This result completely contrasts with the
    usual unique continuation for determined or overdetermined elliptic operators.
    As a corollary we obtain compactly supported solutions in the kernel of P and
    also solutions vanishing in a chosen relatively compact open region.

  201. Improved bounds in the metric cotype inequality for Banach spaces.

    Authors: Manor Mendel, Assaf Naor, Ohad Giladi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is shown that if (X, ||.||_X) is a Banach space with Rademacher cotype q
    then for every integer n there exists an even integer m< n^{1+1/q}$ such that
    for every f:Z_m^n --> X we have \sum_{j=1}^n \Avg_x [ ||f(x+ (m/2) e_j)-f(x)
    ||_X^q ] < C m^q \Avg_{\e,x} [ ||f(x+\e)-f(x) ||_X^q ], where the expectations
    are with respect to uniformly chosen x\in Z_m^n and \e\in \{-1,0,1\}^n, and all
    the implied constants may depend only on q and the Rademacher cotype q constant
    of X.

  202. Harmonic analysis on Cayley Trees and the Bose Einstein condensation I: mathematical aspects.

    Authors: Francesco Fidaleo
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study the mathematical aspects of the Bose Einstein Condensation for the
    pure hopping model describing arrays of Josephson junctions on non homogeneous
    networks. The graphs under investigation are obtained by adding density zero
    perturbations to the homogeneous Cayley Trees. The resulting topological model
    is described by the (opposite of the) adjacency operator on the graph.

  203. Banach spaces without approximation properties of type p.

    Authors: Oleg Reinov, Qaisar Latif
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The main purpose of this note is to show that the question posed in the paper
    of Sinha D.P. and Karn A.K.("Compact operators which factor through subspaces
    of $l_p$ Math. Nachr. 281, 2008, 412-423; see the very end of that paper) has a
    negative answer, and that the answer was known, essentially, in 1985 after the
    papers "Approximation properties of order p and the existence of non-p-nuclear
    operators with p-nuclear second adjoints" (Math. Nachr.

  204. Whitney coverings and the tent spaces $T^{1,q}(\gamma)$ for the Gaussian measure.

    Authors: Jan van Neerven, Jan Maas, Pierre Portal
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce a technique for handling Whitney decompositions in Gaussian
    harmonic analysis and apply it to the study of Gaussian analogues of the
    classical tent spaces $T^{1,q}$ of Coifman, Meyer and Stein.

  205. Essential Spectra of Quasi-parabolic Composition Operators on Hardy Spaces of Analytic Functions.

    Authors: Ugur Gul
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this work we study the essential spectra of composition operators on Hardy
    spaces of analytic functions which might be termed as "quasi-parabolic". This
    is the class of composition operators on H^{2} with symbols whose conjugate
    with the Cayley transform on the upper half-plane are of the form \phi(z) =
    z+\psi(z) where \psi\in H^{2}(\mathbb{H}) and \Im(\psi(z)) >\delta > 0. We
    especially examine the case where \psi is discontinuous at infinity.

  206. Singular integral operators on Nakano spaces with weights having finite sets of discontinuities.

    Authors: Alexei Yu. Karlovich
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In 1968, Gohberg and Krupnik found a Fredholm criterion for singular integral
    operators of the form $aP+bQ$, where $a,b$ are piecewise continuous functions
    and $P,Q$ are complementary projections associated to the Cauchy singular
    integral operator, acting on Lebesgue spaces over Lyapunov curves. We extend
    this result to the case of Nakano spaces (also known as variable Lebesgue
    spaces) with certain weights having finite sets of discontinuities on arbitrary
    Carleson curves.

  207. Exact constant in Sobolev's and Sobolev's trace inequalities for Grand Lebesgue Spaces.

    Authors: E. Ostrovsky, L. Sirota, E. Rogover
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this article we generalize the classical Sobolev's and Sobolev's trace
    inequalities on the Grand Lebesgue Spaces instead the classical Lebesgue
    Spaces. We will distinguish the classical Sobolev's inequality and the
    so-called trace Sobolev's inequality. We consider for simplicity only the case
    of whole space.

  208. The matrix Stieltjes moment problem: a description of all solutions.

    Authors: Sergey M. Zagorodnyuk
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We describe all solutions of the matrix Stieltjes moment problem in the
    general case (no conditions besides solvability are assumed). We use Krein's
    formula for the generalized $\Pi$-resolvents of positive Hermitian operators in
    the form of V.A Derkach and M.M. Malamud.

  209. The ideal center of the dual of a Banach lattice.

    Authors: Mehmet Orhon
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $E$ be a Banach lattice. Its ideal center $Z(E)$ is embedded naturally in
    the ideal center $Z(E')$ of its dual. The embedding may be extended to a
    contractive algebra and lattice homomorphism of $Z(E)"$ into $Z(E')$. We show
    that the extension is onto $Z(E')$ if and only if $E$ has a topologically full
    center.

  210. Regularization of singular Sturm-Liouville equations.

    Authors: Andrii Goriunov, Vladimir Mikhailets
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Paper deals with the singular Sturm-Liouville expressions $$l(y) = -(py')' +
    qy$$ on a finite interval with coefficients $$q = Q', \quad 1/p, Q/p, Q^2/p \in
    L_1,$$ where derivative of the function $Q$ is understood in the sense of
    distributions. Due to a new regularization corresponding operators are
    correctly defined as quasi-differential. Their resolvent approximation is
    investigated and all self-adjoint and maximal dissipative extensions and
    generalized resolvents are described in terms of homogeneous boundary
    conditions of the canonic form.

  211. Smooth extension of functions on non-separable Banach spaces.

    Authors: Mar Jimenez-Sevilla, Luis Sanchez-Gonzalez
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let us consider a Banach space $X$ with the property that every Lipschitz
    function can be uniformly approximated by Lipschitz and $C^1$-smooth functions
    (this is the case either for a weakly compactly generated Banach space $X$ with
    a $C^1$-smooth norm, or a Banach space $X$ bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic to a
    subset of $c_0(\Gamma)$, for some set $\Gamma$, such that the coordinate
    functions of the homeomorphism are $C^1$-smooth).

  212. A characterization of Schauder frames which are near-Schauder bases.

    Authors: Rui Liu, Bentuo Zheng
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A basic problem of interest in connection with the study of Schauder frames
    in Banach spaces is that of characterizing those Schauder frames which can
    essentially be regarded as Schauder bases. In this paper, we give a solution to
    this problem using the notion of the minimal-associated sequence spaces and the
    minimal-associated reconstruction operators for Schauder frames. We prove that
    a Schauder frame is a near-Schauder basis if and only if the kernel of the
    minimal-associated reconstruction operator contains no copy of $c_0$.

  213. Support theorem on R^n and non compact symmetric spaces.

    Authors: E. K. Narayanan, Amit Samanta
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We consider convolution equations of the type f * T = g where f, g are in
    L^p(R^n) and T is a compactly supported distribution. Under natural assumptions
    on the zero set of the Fourier transform of T we show that f is compactly
    supported, provided g is. Similar results are proved for non compact symmetric
    spaces as well.

  214. Band-limited localized Parseval frames and Besov spaces on compact homogeneous manifolds.

    Authors: Daryl Geller, Isaac Z. Pesenson
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In the last decade, methods based on various kinds of spherical wavelet bases
    have found applications in virtually all areas where analysis of spherical data
    is required, including cosmology, weather prediction, and geodesy. In
    particular, the so-called needlets (=band-limited Parseval frames) have become
    an important tool for the analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)
    temperature data.

  215. Orbits of non-elliptic disc automorphisms.

    Authors: Pamela Gorkin, Eva A. Gallardo-Guti&#xe9;rrez, Daniel Su&#xe1;rez
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Motivated by the Invariant Subspace Problem, we describe explicitly the
    closed subspace $H^2$ generated by the limit points in the $H^2$ norm of the
    orbit of a thin Blaschke product $B$ under composition operators $C_\phi$
    induced by non-elliptic automorphisms. This description exhibits a surprising
    connection to model spaces. Finally, we give a constructive characterization of
    the $C_\phi$-eigenfunctions in $H^p$ for $1\le p\le \infty$.

  216. Natural symmetric tensor norms.

    Authors: Daniel Carando, Daniel Galicer
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In the spirit of the work of Grothendieck, we introduce and study natural
    symmetric n-fold tensor norms. We prove that there are exactly six natural
    symmetric tensor norms for $n\ge 3$, a noteworthy difference with the 2-fold
    case in which there are four. Using a symmetric version of a result of Carne we
    also describe which natural symmetric tensor norms preserve Banach algebras.

  217. Approximate diagonalization of self--adjoint matrices over $C(M)$.

    Authors: Yifeng Xue
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $M$ be a compact Hausdorff space. We prove that in this paper, every
    self--adjoint matrix over $C(M)$ is approximately diagonalizable iff $\dim M\le
    2$ and $\HO^2(M,\mathbb Z)\cong 0$. Using this result, we show that every
    unitary matrix over $C(M)$ is approximately diagonalizable iff $\dim M\le 2$,
    $\HO^1(M,\mathbb Z)\cong\HO^2(M,\mathbb Z)\cong 0$ when $M$ is a compact metric
    space.

  218. Approximation of operators in Banach spaces.

    Authors: Oleg I. Reinov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is a translation of an old paper of mine. We describe the topology tau_p
    in the space Pi_p(Y,X), for which the closures of convex sets in tau_p and in
    *-weak topology of the space Pi_p(Y,X) are coincident. Thereafter, we
    investigate some properties of the space Pi_p, related to this new topology.
    2010-remark: Occasionally, the topology is coincides with the lambda_p-topology
    from the paper "Compact operators which factor through subspaces of l_p", Math.

    Abstract

    In this note we study the completely non unitary contractions on separable
    complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions. These
    operators are precisely those which admit a matrix representation of the form

  220. Zone diagrams in compact subsets of uniformly convex normed spaces.

    Authors: Daniel Reem, Eva Kopeck&#xe1;, Simeon Reich
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A zone diagram is a relatively new concept which has emerged in computational
    geometry and is related to Voronoi diagrams. Formally, it is a fixed point of a
    certain mapping, and neither its uniqueness nor its existence are obvious in
    advance. It has been studied by several authors, starting with T. Asano, J.
    Matousek and T. Tokuyama, who considered the Euclidean plane with singleton
    sites, and proved the existence and uniqueness of zone diagrams there.

  221. Sc-Smoothness, Retractions and New Models for Smooth Spaces.

    Authors: Helmut Hofer, Kris Wysocki, Eduard Zehnder
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We survey a (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces
    called polyfolds, and develop the analytical foundations for some of the
    applications of the theory. The basic feature of these new spaces, which can be
    finite and infinite dimensional, is that in general they may have locally
    varying dimensions. These new spaces are needed for a functional analytic
    treatment of nonlinear problems involving analytic limiting behavior like
    bubbling-off. The theory is applicable to Gromov-Witten and Floer Theory as
    well as Symplectic Field Theory.

  222. Riesz transform characterization of H^1 spaces associated with certain Laguerre expansions.

    Authors: Marcin Preisner
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For \alpha>0 we consider the system \ell_k^{(\alpha-1)/2}(x) of the Laguerre
    functions which are eigenfunctions of the differential operator Lf
    =-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}f - \frac{\alpha}{x}\frac{d}{dx}f + x^2 f. We define an
    atomic Hardy space H^1_{at}(X), which is a subspace of L^1((0,\infty), x^\alpha
    dx). Then we prove that the space H^1_{at}(X) is also characterized by the
    Riesz transform Rf =\sqrt{\pi} \dx L^{-1/2} f in the sense that f\in
    H^1_{at}(X) if and only if f, Rf \in L^1((0,\infty),x^\alpha dx).

  223. Syndetic Sets and Amenability.

    Authors: Vern I. Paulsen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove that if an infinite, discrete semigroup has the property that every
    right syndetic set is left syndetic, then the semigroup has a left invariant
    mean. We prove that the weak*-closed convex hull of the two-sided translates of
    every bounded function on an infinite discrete semigroup contains a constant
    function. Our proofs use the algebraic properties of the Stone-Cech
    compactification.

  224. Cone Normed Spaces and Weighted Means.

    Authors: Ayse Sonmez, Huseyin Cakalli

    In this paper, we study main properties of cone normed spaces, and prove some
    theorems of weighted means in cone normed spaces.

  225. Local behavior of traces of Besov functions: Prevalent results.

    Authors: Jean-Marie Aubry, Delphine Maman, St&#xe9;phane Seuret
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $1 \leq d < D$ and $(p,q,s)$ satisfying $0 < p < \infty$, $0 < q \leq
    \infty$, $0 < s-d/p < \infty$. In this article we study the global and local
    regularity properties of traces, on affine subsets of $\R^D$, of functions
    belonging to the Besov space $B^{s}_{p,q}(\R^D)$. Given a $d$-dimensional
    subspace $H \subset \R^D$, for almost all functions in $B^{s}_{p,q}(\R^D)$ (in
    the sense of prevalence), we are able to compute the singularity spectrum of
    the traces $f_a$ of $f$ on affine subspaces of the form $a+H$, for
    Lebesgue-almost every $a \in \R^{D-d}$.

    Authors: Angela A. Albanese, Elisabetta M. Mangino
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study the analyticity of the semigroups generated by a class of degenerate
    second order differential operators in the space $C(S_d)$, where $S_d$ is the
    canonical simplex of $\R^d$. The semigroups arise from the theory of
    Fleming--Viot processes in population genetics.

  227. Strictly positive definite functions on compact abelian groups.

    Authors: Jan Emonds, Hartmut Fuehr
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study the Fourier characterisation of strictly positive definite functions
    on compact abelian groups. Our main result settles the case $G = F \times
    \mathbb{T}^r$, with $r \in \mathbb{N}$ and $F$ finite. The characterisation
    obtained for these groups does not extend to arbitrary compact abelian groups;
    it fails in particular for all torsion-free groups.

  228. Wodzicki Residue for Operators on Manifolds with Cylindrical Ends.

    Authors: U. Battisti, S. Coriasco
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We define the Wodzicki Residue TR(A) for A in a space of operators with
    double order (m_1,m_2). Such operators are globally defined initially on R^n
    and then, more generally, on a class of non-compact manifolds, namely, the
    manifolds with cylindrical ends. The definition is based on the analysis of the
    associate zeta function. Using this approach, under suitable ellipticity
    assumptions, we also compute a two terms leading part of the Weyl formula for a
    positive selfadjoint operator belonging the mentioned class in the case
    m_1=m_2.

  229. A variant of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for circulant matrices.

    Authors: Jan Vyb&#xed;ral
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We continue our study of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma and its connection
    to circulant matrices started in \cite{HV}. We reduce the bound on $k$ from
    $k=O(\epsilon^{-2}\log^3n)$ proven there to $k=O(\epsilon^{-2}\log^2n)$. Our
    technique differs essentially from the one used in \cite{HV}. We employ the
    discrete Fourier transform and singular value decomposition to deal with the
    dependency caused by the circulant structure.

  230. On the relation of Carleson's embedding and the maximal theorem in the context of Banach space geometry.

    Authors: Tuomas Hyt&#xf6;nen, Mikko Kemppainen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Hyt\"onen, McIntosh and Portal (J. Funct. Anal., 2008) proved two
    vector-valued generalizations of the classical Carleson embedding theorem, both
    of them requiring the boundedness of a new vector-valued maximal operator, and
    the other one also the type p property of the underlying Banach space as an
    assumption. We show that these conditions are also necessary for the respective
    embedding theorems, thereby obtaining new equivalences between analytic and
    geometric properties of Banach spaces.

    Authors: G. Kutyniok, W. Lim, P. Kittipoom
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Recently, shearlet systems were introduced as a means to derive efficient
    encoding methodologies for anisotropic features in 2-dimensional data with a
    unified treatment of the continuum and digital setting. However, only very few
    construction strategies for discrete shearlet systems are known so far.

  232. Compactly Supported Shearlets are Optimally Sparse.

    Authors: G. Kutyniok, W. Lim
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Cartoon-like images, i.e., C^2 functions which are smooth apart from a C^2
    discontinuity curve, have by now become a standard model for measuring sparse
    (non-linear) approximation properties of directional representation systems. It
    was already shown that curvelets, contourlets, as well as shearlets do exhibit
    (almost) optimally sparse approximation within this model. However, all those
    results are only applicable to band-limited generators, whereas, in particular,
    spatially compactly supported generators are of uttermost importance for
    applications.

  233. Characteristic functions of affine processes via calculus of their operator symbols.

    Authors: Joerg Kampen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The characteristic functions of multivariate Feller processes with generator
    of affine type, and with smooth symbol functions have an explicit
    representation in terms of power series with rational number coefficients and
    with monmoms consisting of powers of the the symbol functions and formal
    derivatives of the symbol functions. The power series repesentations are
    convergent globally in time and on bounded domains of arbitrary size.
    Generalized symbol functions can be derived leading to power series expansions
    which are convergent on arbitrary domains in special cases.

    Abstract

    The purpose of this note is to answer a question A. E. Nussbaum formulated in
    1964 about the possible equivalence between weak measurability of a family of
    densely defined, closed operators T(t), t real, in a separable complex Hilbert
    space H on one hand, and the notion of measurability of the 2 \times 2
    operator-valued matrix of projections onto the graph Gamma(T(t)) of T(t) on the
    other, in the negative.

    Authors: Bin Han
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is of interest to study a wavelet system with a minimum number of
    generators. It has been showed by X. Dai, D. R. Larson, and D. M. Speegle in
    [11] that for any $d\times d$ real-valued expansive matrix M, a homogeneous
    orthonormal M-wavelet basis can be generated by a single wavelet function.

    Abstract

    Let G be a solvable Lie group endowed with right Haar measure. We define and
    study a dense Frechet *-subalgebra S of L1(G), consisting of smooth functions
    rapidly-decreasing at infinity on G. When G is nilpotent, we recover the
    classical Schwartz algebra introduced by R. Howe and other authors. We develop
    a distribution theory for S, and we generalize the classical Kernel Theorem of
    L. Schwartz to our setting.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We give the first natural examples of Calder\'on-Zygmund operators in the
    theory of analysis on post-critically finite self-similar fractals. This is
    achieved by showing that the purely imaginary Riesz and Bessel potentials on
    nested fractals with 3 or more boundary points are of this type. It follows
    that these operators are bounded on $L^{p}$, $1<p<\infty$ and satisfy weak 1-1
    bounds. The analysis may be extended to infinite blow-ups of these fractals,
    and to product spaces based on the fractal or its blow-up.

  239. Forward-convex convergence of sequences in $\mathbb{L}^0_+$.

    Authors: Constantinos Kardaras, Gordan Zitkovic
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For a sequence in $\mathbb{L}^0_+$, we provide simple necessary and
    sufficient conditions to ensure that each sequence of its forward convex
    combinations converges to the same limit. These conditions correspond to a
    measure-free version of the notion of uniform integrability and are related to
    the numeraire problem of mathematical finance.

  240. Bounds for Entropy Numbers of Some Critical Operators.

    Authors: M.A. Lifshits
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We provide upper bounds for entropy numbers for two types of operators:
    summation operators on binary trees and integral operators of Volterra type.
    Our efforts are concentrated on the critical cases where none of known methods
    works. Therefore, we develop a method which seems to be completely new and
    probably merits further applications.

  241. On Some Geometric Properties Of Sequence Space Defined By de la Vallee-Poussin Mean.

    Authors: Necip Simsek
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this work, we investigate k-nearly uniform convex(k-NUC) and the uniform
    Opial properties of the sequence space defined by de la Vallee-Poussin mean.
    Also we give some corollaries concerning the geometrical properties of this
    space.

  242. Endpoint estimates for first-order Riesz transforms associated to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator.

    Authors: G. Mauceri, S. Meda, P. Sj&#xf6;gren
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In the setting of Euclidean space with the Gaussian measure g, we consider
    all first-order Riesz transforms associated to the infinitesimal generator of
    the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup. These operators are known to be bounded on
    L^p(g), for 1<p<\infty. We determine which of them are bounded from H^1(g) to
    L^1(g) and from L^\infty(g) to BMO(g). Here H^1(g) and BMO(g) are the spaces
    introduced in this setting by the first two authors. Surprisingly, we find that
    the results depend on the dimension of the ambient space.

  243. Atomic decomposition of Hardy type spaces on certain noncompact manifolds.

    Authors: G. Mauceri, S. Meda, M. Vallarino
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we consider a complete connected noncompact Riemannian manifold
    M with bounded geometry and spectral gap. We prove that the Hardy type spaces
    X^k(M), introduced in a previous paper of the authors, have an atomic
    characterization. As an application, we prove that the Riesz transforms of even
    order 2k are bounded from X^k(M) to L^1(M)and on L^p(M) for 1<p<\infty.

  244. The $p$-harmonic boundary for quasi-isometric graphs and manifolds.

    Authors: Michael J. Puls
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $p$ be a real number greater number greater than one. Suppose that a
    graph $G$ of bounded degree is quasi-isometric with a Riemannian manifold $M$
    with certain properties. Under these conditions we will show that the
    $p$-harmonic boundary of $G$ is homeomorphic to the $p$-harmonic boundary of
    $M$. We will also prove that there is a bijection between the $p$-harmonic
    functions on $G$ and the $p$-harmonic functions on $M$.

  245. Second order elliptic operators with complex bounded measurable coefficients in $L^p$, Sobolev and Hardy spaces.

    Authors: Steve Hofmann, Svitlana Mayboroda, Alan McIntosh
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $L$ be a second order divergence form elliptic operator with complex
    bounded measurable coefficients. The operators arising in connection with $L$,
    such as the heat semigroup and Riesz transform, are not, in general, of
    Calder\'on-Zygmund type and exhibit behavior different from their counterparts
    built upon the Laplacian. The current paper aims at a thorough description of
    the properties of such operators in $L^p$, Sobolev, and some new Hardy spaces
    naturally associated to $L$.

  246. Unions of arcs from Fourier partial sums.

    Authors: Dennis Courtney
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Elementary complex analysis and Hilbert space methods show that a union of at
    most n arcs on the circle is uniquely determined by the nth Fourier partial sum
    of its characteristic function. The endpoints of the arcs can be recovered from
    the coefficients appearing in the partial sum by solving two polynomial
    equations.

  247. The Gelfand widths of $\ell_p$-balls for $0<p\leq 1$.

    Authors: Alain Pajor, Holger Rauhut, Simon Foucart, Tino Ullrich
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We provide sharp lower and upper bounds for the Gelfand widths of
    $\ell_p$-balls in the $N$-dimensional $\ell_q^N$-space for $0<p\leq 1$ and $p<q
    \leq 2$. Such estimates are highly relevant to the novel theory of compressive
    sensing, and our proofs rely on methods from this area.

  248. On Stochastic generalized functions.

    Authors: Pedro Catuogno, Christian Olivera
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduced a new algebra of stochastic generalized functions which
    contains to the space of stochastic distributions G, [25]. As an application,
    we prove existence and uniqueness of the solution of a stochastic Cauchy
    problem involving singularities.

  249. On a variant of Tartar's first commutation lemma.

    Authors: Darko Mitrovic

    We prove a variant of Tartar's first commutation lemma involving multiplier
    operators with symbols not necessarily defined on a manifold of codimension
    one.

  250. Operator splitting for non-autonomous evolution equations.

    Authors: Andr&#xe1;s B&#xe1;tkai, Petra Csom&#xf3;s, B&#xe1;lint Farkas, Gregor Nickel
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We provide general product formulas for the solutions of non-autonomous
    abstract Cauchy problems. The main technical tool is the application of
    evolution semigroup methods, allowing the direct application of existing
    results on autonomous problems. The results are then illustrated by the example
    of a imaginary time Schr{\"o}dinger equation with time dependent potential. We
    also obtain convergence rates for the Strang-splitting applied to this problem.

  251. On the numerical index of real $L_p(\mu)$-spaces.

    Authors: Miguel Martin, Javier Meri, Mikhail Popov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We give a lower bound for the numerical index of the real space $L_p(\mu)$
    showing, in particular, that it is non-zero for $p\neq 2$. In other words, it
    is shown that for every bounded linear operator $T$ on the real space
    $L_p(\mu)$, one has $$ \sup{\Bigl|\int |x|^{p-1}\sign(x) T x d\mu \Bigr| : x\in
    L_p(\mu), \|x\|=1} \geq \frac{M_p}{12\e}\|T\| $$ where
    $M_p=\max_{t\in[0,1]}\frac{|t^{p-1}-t|}{1+t^p}>0$ for every $p\neq 2$.

  252. Isometries on extremely non-complex Banach spaces.

    Authors: Miguel Martin, Piotr Koszmider, Javier Meri
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex
    Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every
    bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand.
    We also study surjective isometries on extremely non-complex Banach spaces and
    construct an example of a real Banach space whose group of surjective
    isometries reduces to $\pm Id$, but the group of surjective isometries of its
    dual contains the group of isometries of a separable infinite-dimensional
    Hilbert space as a subgroup.

  253. Wirtinger-type inequalities for some rearrangement invariant spaces.

    Authors: E. Ostrovsky, L. Sirota, E. Rogover
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this short paper we generalize the classical inequality between the norms
    in Lebesgue spaces of the functions and its derivatives, which in the
    multidimensional case are called Sobolev's inequalities, on the many popular
    classes pairs of rearrangement invariant (r.i.) spaces, namely, on the
    so-called moment rearrangement invariant spaces.

  254. Transfer of Fourier multipliers into Schur multipliers and sumsets in a discrete group.

    Authors: Stefan Neuwirth, &#xc9;ric Ricard
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We inspect the relationship between relative Fourier multipliers on
    noncommutative Lebesgue-Orlicz spaces of a discrete group and relative
    Toeplitz-Schur multipliers on Schatten-von-Neumann-Orlicz classes.

  255. Subspace hyperciclicity.

    Authors: Blair Madore, Rub&#xe9;n A. Mart&#xed;nez Avenda&#xf1;o
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A bounded linear operator T on Hilbert space is subspace-hypercyclic for a
    subspace M if there exists a vector whose orbit under T intersects the subspace
    in a relatively dense set. We construct examples to show that
    subspace-hypercyclicity is interesting, including a nontrivial
    subspace-hypercyclic operator that is not hypercyclic. There is a Kitai-like
    criterion that implies subspace-hypercyclicity and although the spectrum of a
    subspace-hypercyclic operator must intersect the unit circle, not every
    component of the spectrum will do so.

  256. A T1 theorem for weakly singular integral operators.

    Authors: Antti V. V&#xe4;h&#xe4;kangas
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We establish conditions in the spirit of the T1 theorem of David and Journ\'e
    which guarantee the boundedness of \nabla T on L^p(\R^n), where T is an
    integral transformation and 1<p<\infty. These are natural size and regularity
    conditions for the kernel of the integral transformation, along with the sharp
    condition T1,T^t1\in\mathcal{I}^1(\mathrm{BMO}). A simple example satisfying
    these conditions is the Riesz potential denoted by \mathcal{I}^1.

  257. $\sigma$-Relations, $\sigma$-functions and $\sigma$-antifunctions.

    Authors: Ivan Gatica Araus
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this article we develop the concepts of $\sigma$-relation and
    $\sigma$-function, following the same steps as in Set Theory. First we define
    the concept of ordered pair and then we build the Cartesian Product of
    $\sigma$-sets so that we can define the concepts of $\sigma$-relation and
    $\sigma$-function.

  258. A Representation Theorem for Singular Integral Operators on Spaces of Homogeneous Type.

    Authors: Paul F.X. Mueller, Markus Passenbrunner
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let (X,d,\mu) be a space of homogeneous type and E a UMD Banach space. Under
    the assumption mu({x})=0 for all x in X, we prove a representation theorem for
    singular integral operators on (X,d,mu) as a series of simple shifts and
    rearrangements plus two paraproducts. This gives a T(1) Theorem in this
    setting.

  259. Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for circulant matrices.

    Authors: Aicke Hinrichs, Jan Vyb&#xed;ral
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove a variant of a Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for matrices with
    circulant structure. This approach allows to minimise the randomness used, is
    easy to implement and provides good running times. The price to be paid is the
    higher dimension of the target space $k=O(\epsilon^{-2}\log^3n)$ instead of the
    classical bound $k=O(\epsilon^{-2}\log n)$.

  260. Extremal problems related to maximal dyadic like operators.

    We obtain sharp estimates for the quasi norm of the maximal function of f
    when it satisfies certain conditions.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Di Piazza and Preiss asked whether every Pettis integrable function defined
    on [0,1] and taking values in a weakly compactly generated Banach space is
    McShane integrable. In this paper we answer this question in the negative.

  262. Resolvent convergence of Sturm-Liouville operators with singular potentials.

    Authors: Andrii Goriunov, Vladimir Mikhailets
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we consider the Sturm-Liuoville operator in the Hilbert space
    $L_2$ with the singular complex potential of $W^{-1}_2$ and two-point boundary
    conditions. For this operator we give sufficient conditions for norm resolvent
    approximation by the operators of the same class.

  263. From resolvent bounds to semigroup bounds.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The purpose of this note is to revisit the proof of the
    Gearhardt-Pr\"uss-Hwang-Greiner theorem for a semigroup S(t), following the
    general idea of the proofs that we have seen in the literature and to get an
    explicit estimate on the norm of S(t) in terms of bounds on the resolvent of
    the generator.

  264. Kernels of vector-valued Toeplitz operators.

    Authors: Chevrot Nicolas
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $S$ be the shift operator on the Hardy space $H^2$ and let $S^*$ be its
    adjoint. A closed subspace $\FF$ of $H^2$ is said to be nearly $S^*$-invariant
    if every element $f\in\FF$ with $f(0)=0$ satisfies $S^*f\in\FF$. In particular,
    the kernels of Toeplitz operators are nearly $S^*$-invariant subspaces. Hitt
    gave the description of these subspaces. They are of the form $\FF=g
    (H^2\ominus u H^2)$ with $g\in H^2$ and $u$ inner, $u(0)=0$. A very particular
    fact is that the operator of multiplication by $g$ acts as an isometry on
    $H^2\ominus uH^2$.

  265. Non local Poincar\'e inequalities on Lie groups with polynomial volume growth.

    Authors: Yannick Sire, Emmanuel Russ
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $G$ be a real connected Lie group with polynomial volume growth, endowed
    with its Haar measure $dx$. Given a $C^2$ positive function $M$ on $G$, we give
    a sufficient condition for an $L^2$ Poincar\'e inequality with respect to the
    measure $M(x)dx$ to hold on $G$. We then establish a non-local Poincar\'e
    inequality on $G$ with respect to $M(x)dx$.

  266. Basic embeddings and Hilbert's 13th problem on superpositions (in Russian).

    Authors: A. Skopenkov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This note is purely expository. We show how in the course of the
    Kolmogorov-Arnold solution of Hilbert's 13-th problem on superpositions there
    appeared the notion of a basic embedding. A subset K of R^2 is {\it basic} if
    for each continuous function f:K->R there exist continuous functions g,h:R->R
    such that f(x,y) = g(x) + h(y) for each point (x,y) in K. We present
    descriptions of basic subsets of the plane and graphs basically embeddable into
    the plane (solutions of Arnold's and Sternfeld's problems).

  267. Remarks on trace inequalities for products of matrices.

    Authors: Shigeru Furuichi, Minghua Lin
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this short paper, we review some trace inequalities for products of
    matrices. We also give a counter-example for matrix trace inequalities
    conjectured by Furuichi-Kuriyama-Yanagi.

  268. The truncated tracial moment problem.

    Authors: Igor Klep, Sabine Burgdorf
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We present tracial analogs of the classical results of Curto and Fialkow on
    moment matrices. A sequence of real numbers indexed by words in non-commuting
    variables with values invariant under cyclic permutations of the indexes, is
    called a tracial sequence. We prove that such a sequence can be represented
    with tracial moments of matrices if its corresponding moment matrix is positive
    semidefinite and of finite rank.

  269. Truncated Wiener-Hopf operators with Fisher Hartwig singularities.

    Authors: K. K. Kozlowski
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We derive the asymptotic behavior of determinants of truncated Wiener-Hopf
    operators generated by symbols having Fisher-Hartwig singularities. This task
    is achieved thanks to an asymptotic resolution of the Riemann-Hilbert problem
    associated to some generalized sine kernel. As a byproduct, we give yet another
    derivation of the asymptotic behavior of Toeplitz determinants having
    Fisher-Hartwig singularities. The Riemann-Hilbert problem approach to these
    asymptotics yields a systematic although quickly cumbersome way to compute
    their sub-leading asymptotics.

  270. Admissible operators and ${\mathcal H}_{\infty}$ calculus.

    Authors: Hans Zwart
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Given a Hilbert space and the generator $A$ of a strongly continuous,
    exponentially stable, semigroup on this Hilbert space. For any $g(-s) \in
    {\mathcal H}_{\infty}$ we show that there exists an infinite-time admissible
    output operator $g(A)$. If $g$ is rational, then this operator is bounded, and
    equals the "normal" definition of $g(A)$. In particular, when $g(s)=1/(s +
    \alpha)$, $ \alpha \in {\mathbb C}_0^+$, then this admissible output operator
    equals $(\alpha I - A)^{-1}$.

    Authors: Pascal Lef&#xe8;vre, Daniel Li, Herv&#xe9; Queff&#xe9;lec, Luis Rodriguez-Piazza
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We generalize, on one hand, some results known for composition operators on
    Hardy spaces to the case of Hardy-Orlicz spaces $H^\Psi$: construction of a
    "slow" Blaschke product giving a non-compact composition operator on $H^\Psi$;
    construction of a surjective symbol whose composition operator is compact on
    $H^\Psi$ and, moreover, is in all the Schatten classes $S_p (H^2)$, $p > 0$.

  272. Chernoff's theorem for backward propagators and applications to diffusions on manifolds.

    Authors: Evelina Shamarova
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The classical Chernoff's theorem is a statement about discrete-time
    approximations of semigroups, where the approximations are consturcted as
    products of time-dependent contraction operators strongly differentiable at
    zero. We generalize the version of Chernoff's theorem for semigroups proved in
    a paper by Smolyanov et al., and obtain a theorem about descrete-time
    approximations of backward propagators.

  273. Beyond convergence rates: Exact inversion with Tikhonov regularization with sparsity constraints.

    Authors: Dirk A. Lorenz, Dennis Trede, Stefan Schiffler
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The Tikhonov functional with the $\ell^1$ penalty yields a regularization
    method that generates a sparse approximate solution--the so-called Tikhonov
    regularization with sparsity constraints. Recently, it has been shown that this
    functional together with a certain a priori parameter rule and a certain source
    condition converges linearly to the minimum-$\ell^1$ solution. In this paper we
    go beyond the question of convergence rates by presenting an a priori parameter
    rule which ensures exact recovery of the unknown support.

  274. Embedding Theorems for M\"untz spaces.

    Authors: Isabelle Chalendar, Emmanuel Fricain, Dan Timotin
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We discuss boundedness and compactness properties of the embedding
    $M_\Lambda^1\subset L^1(\mu)$, where $M_\Lambda^1$ is the closure of the
    monomials $x^{\lambda_n}$ in $L1([0,1])$ and $\mu$ is a finite positive Borel
    measure on the interval $[0,1]$. In particular, we introduce a class of
    "sublinear" measures and provide a rather complete solution of the embedding
    problem for the class of quasilacunary sequences $\Lambda$.

    Abstract

    In this paper both we establish the best constants for the Nash inequalities
    on the standard unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and we give
    answers on the existence of extremal functions on the corresponding problems.
    Also we study the problem of the best constants in the case, where the data are
    invariant under the action of the group $G=O(k)\times O(m)$, and we find the
    best constants.

  276. The asymptotics a Bessel-kernel determinant which arises in Random Matrix Theory.

    Authors: Torsten Ehrhardt
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In Random Matrix Theory the local correlations of the Laguerre and Jacobi
    Unitary Ensemble in the hard edge scaling limit can be described in terms of
    the Bessel kernel (containing a parameter $\alpha$). In particular, the
    so-called hard edge gap probabilities can be expressed as the Fredholm
    determinants of the corresponding integral operator restricted to the finite
    interval [0, R]. Using operator theoretic methods we are going to compute their
    asymptotics as R goes to infinity under certain assumption on the parameter
    $\alpha$.

    We characterize those elements in a fully symmetric spaces on the interval
    $(0,1)$ or on the semi-axis $(0,\infty)$ whose orbits are the norm-closed
    convex hull of their extreme points. Our results extend and complement earlier
    work on the same theme by Braverman and Mekler.

    is an arbitrary sequence of independent identically distributed symmetric
    random variables on $[0,1]$ and $C>0$ does not depend on $n$. We completely
    characterize all Lorentz spaces having this property and complement classical
    results of Rodin and Semenov for Orlicz spaces $exp(L_p)$, $p\ge 1$.

    Abstract

    We study in this paper a hypercyclicity property of linear dynamical systems:
    a bounded linear operator T acting on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach
    space X is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector x in X such that the
    set {T^n x ; n> 0} is dense in X, and frequently hypercyclic if there exists a
    vector x in X such that for any non empty open subset U of X, the set of
    integers n such that T^n x belongs to U has positive lower density.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We give the p-adic and F_q((t)) analogue of the real van der Corput Lemma,
    where the real condition of sufficient smoothness for the phase is replaced by
    the condition that the phase is a convergent power series. This van der Corput
    style result allows us, in analogy to the real situation, to study singular
    Fourier transforms on suitably curved (analytic) manifolds and opens the way
    for further applications.

    We study the Segal-Bargmann transform on a motion group Rn n K; where K is a

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We construct quantum stochastic integrals for the integrator being a
    martingale in a von Neumann algebra, and the integrand -- a suitable process
    with values in the same algebra, as densely defined operators affiliated with
    the algebra. In the case of a finite algebra we allow the integrator to be an
    $L^2$--martingale in which case the integrals are $L^2$--martingales too.

  283. Multipliers, Self-Induced and Dual Banach Algebras.

    Authors: Matthew Daws
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We present a short survey of the theory of multipliers, or double
    centralisers, of Banach algebras and completely contractive Banach algebras.
    Our approach is very algebraic: this is a deliberate attempt to separate
    essentially algebraic arguments from topological arguments. We concentrate upon
    the problem of how to extend module actions, and homomorphisms, from algebras
    to multiplier algebras. We then consider the special cases when we have a
    bounded approximate identity, when our algebra is self-induced, and when we
    have a dual Banach algebra.

    In this paper, we introduce a class of infinite matrices related to the

    q<\infty$ and any discrete Muckenhoupt $A_q$-weight $w$.

  285. Weighted inequalities for multivariable dyadic paraproducs.

    Authors: Daewon Chung
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove the norm of the dyadic paraproduct on the weighted Lebesgue space
    $L^2_{\R^n}(w)$ is bounded with a bound that depends on $[w]_{A^d_2}$ and
    $\|b\|_{BMO^d}$ at most linearly. With this result, we can extrapolate to
    $L^p_{\R^n}(w)$ for $1<p<\infty .$ Furthermore, we present the dimensionless
    linear bound in terms of the anisotropic weight characteristic. In order to
    establish the linear estimates, we present several Haar systems and weight
    lemmas in a several variable setting.

    We answer a question of Alex Koldobsky on isometric embeddings of finite
    dimensional normed spaces.

  288. Continuous Shearlet Tight Frames.

    Authors: Philipp Grohs
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Based on the shearlet transform we present a general construction of
    continuous tight frames for $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ from any sufficiently smooth
    function with anisotropic moments. This includes for example compactly
    supported systems, piecewise polynomial systems, or both. From our earlier
    results it follows that these systems enjoy the same desirable approximation
    properties for directional data as the previous bandlimited and very specific
    constructions due to Kutyniok and Labate.

  289. Decompositions of Besov-Hausdorff and Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff Spaces and Their Applications.

    Authors: Dachun Yang, Wen Yuan, Yoshihiro Sawano
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $p\in(1,\infty)$, $q\in[1,\infty)$, $s\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\tau\in[0,
    1-\frac{1}{\max\{p,q\}}]$. In this paper, the authors establish the
    $\phi$-transform characterizations of Besov-Hausdorff spaces $B{\dot
    H}_{p,q}^{s,\tau}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff spaces $F{\dot
    H}_{p,q}^{s,\tau}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ ($q>1$); as applications, the authors then
    establish their embedding properties (which on $B{\dot
    H}_{p,q}^{s,\tau}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is also sharp), smooth atomic and molecular
    decomposition characterizations for suitable $\tau$.

  290. The geometry of L^p-spaces over atomless measure spaces and the Daugavet property.

    Authors: Enrique A. Sanchez Perez, Dirk Werner
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that $L^p$-spaces over atomless measure spaces can be characterized
    in terms of a $p$-concavity type geometric property that is related with the
    Daugavet property.

  291. A bicommutant theorem for dual Banach algebras.

    Authors: Matthew Daws
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the
    multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a
    unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$,
    and an isometric, weak$^*$-weak$^*$-continuous homomorphism $\pi:\mc A\to\mc
    B(E)$ such that $\pi(\mc A)$ equals its own bicommutant.

  292. Stable Invariant Subspaces and a Question of Allen Shields.

    Authors: Alexander Borichev, Don Hadwin, Hassan Yousefi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove that if T is an operator on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space
    whose spectrum and essential spectrum are both connected and whose Fredholm
    index is only 0 or 1, then the only nontrivial norm-stable invariant subspaces
    of T are the finite-dimensional ones. We also characterize norm-stable
    invariant subspaces of any weighted unilateral shift operator. Along the way,
    using the results of Yngve Domar, we prove that the nontrivial invariant
    subspaces of a quasianalytic unilateral weighted shift all have
    finite-codimension, thereby answering a question posed by Allen Shields.

  293. Convolution operators defined by singular measures on the motion group.

    Authors: Luca Brandolini, Giacomo Gigante, Sundaram Thangavelu, Giancarlo Travaglini
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper contains an $L^{p}$ improving result for convolution operators
    defined by singular measures associated to hypersurfaces on the motion group.
    This needs only mild geometric properties of the surfaces, and it extends
    earlier results on Radon type transforms on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. The proof relies
    on the harmonic analysis on the motion group.

  294. Reverse inequalities for a refined Young inequality.

    Authors: Shigeru Furuichi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we give two type of the reverse inequalities of the refined
    Young inequality for two positive operators, applying the reverse inequalities
    of the refined Young inequality for positive real numbers.

  295. Maps of several variables of finite total variation and Helly-type selection principles.

    Authors: Vyacheslav V. Chistyakov, Yuliya V. Tretyachenko
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Given a map from a rectangle in the n-dimensional real Euclidean space into a
    metric semigroup, we introduce a concept of the total variation, which
    generalizes a similar concept due to T. H. Hildebrandt (1963) for real
    functions of two variables and A. S. Leonov (1998) for real functions of n
    variables, and study its properties. We show that the total variation has many
    classical properties of Jordan's variation such as the additivity, generalized
    triangle inequality and sequential lower semicontinuity.

  296. On refined Young inequalities.

    Authors: Shigeru Furuichi, Minghua Lin
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we study refinements of some inequalities related to Young
    inequality for scalar and for operator. As our main results, we show refined
    Young inequalities for two positive operators. This results refine the ordering
    relations among the arithmetic mean, the geometric mean and the harmonic mean.
    Finally, we give supplements for refined Young inequalities for two positive
    real numbers. And then we also give operator inequalities based on the
    supplemental inequalities.

  297. On the maximal monotonicity of the sum of a maximal monotone linear relation and the subdifferential operator of a sublinear function.

    Authors: Heinz H. Bauschke, Xianfu Wang, Liangjin Yao
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the
    maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximal monotone operators provided that
    Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds.

    In this note, we provide a new maximal monotonicity result for the sum of a
    maximal monotone relation and the subdifferential operator of a proper, lower
    semicontinuous, sublinear function. The proof relies on Rockafellar's formula
    for the Fenchel conjugate of the sum as well as some results on the Fitzpatrick
    function.

  298. Ground States of the Yukawa models with Cutoffs.

    Authors: Toshimitsu Takaesu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Ground states of the so called Yukawa model is considered. The Yukawa model
    describes a Dirac field interacting with a Klein-Gordon field. By introducing
    both ultraviolet cutoffs and spatial cutoffs, the total Hamiltonian is defined
    as a self-adjoint operator on a boson-fermion Fock space. It is shown that the
    total Hamiltonian has a positive spectral gap for all values of coupling
    constants. In particular the existence of ground states is proven.

  299. A new metric invariant for Banach spaces.

    Authors: F. Baudier, N. J. Kalton, G. Lancien
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that if the Szlenk index of a Banach space $X$ is larger than the
    first infinite ordinal $\omega$ or if the Szlenk index of its dual is larger
    than $\omega$, then the tree of all finite sequences of integers equipped with
    the hyperbolic distance metrically embeds into $X$. We show that the converse
    is true when $X$ is assumed to be reflexive. As an application, we exhibit new
    classes of Banach spaces that are stable under coarse-Lipschitz embeddings and
    therefore under uniform homeomorphisms.

  300. Module super-amenability for semigroup algebras.

    Authors: Massoud Amini, Abasalt Bodaghi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup with the set of idempotents $E$. In this
    paper we define the module super-amenability of a Banach algebra which is a
    Banach module over another Banach algebra with compatible actions, and show
    that when $E$ is upward directed and acts on $S$ trivially from left and by
    multiplication from right, the semigroup algebra $ \ell ^{1}(S)$ is
    $\ell^{1}(E)$-module super-amenable if and only if an appropriate group
    homomorphic image of $S$ is finite.

  301. Asymptotic Expansions for the Heat Kernel and the Trace of a Stochastic Geodesic Flow.

    Authors: Sergio Albeverio, Astrid Hilbert, Vassily Kolokoltsov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the heat kernel defined by a
    stochastically perturbed geodesic flow on the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian
    manifold for small time and small diffusion parameter. This extends WKB-type
    methods to a particular case of a degenerate Hamiltonian. We derive uniform
    bounds for the solution of the degenerate Hamiltonian boundary value problem
    for small time. From this equivalence of solutions of the Hamiltonian equations
    and the corresponding Hamilton Jacobi equation follows.

  302. Further extension of Nadler's fixed point theorem.

    Authors: M. Eshaghi Gordji, M. Ramezani, H. Baghani, H. Khodaei

    Abstract

    In this paper, we prove a generalization of Geraghty's fixed point theorem
    for multi--valued mappings.

  303. Mean Ergodic Theorems for Bi-continuous Semigroups.

    Authors: L. Lorenzi, A.A. Albanese, V. Manco
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we study the main properties of the Ces\`aro means of
    bi-continuous semigroups, introduced and studied by K\"{u}hnemund in [24]. We
    also give some applications to Feller semigroups generated by second-order
    elliptic differential operators with unbounded coefficients in $C_b(\R^N)$ and
    to evolution operators associated with nonautonomous second-order differential
    operators in $C_b(\R^N)$ with time-periodic coefficients.

  304. Some new thin sets of integers in Harmonic Analysis.

    Authors: Daniel Li, Herv&#xe9; Queff&#xe9;lec, Luis Rodriguez-Piazza
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We randomly construct various subsets $\Lambda$ of the integers which have
    both smallness and largeness properties. They are small since they are very
    close, in various meanings, to Sidon sets: the continuous functions with
    spectrum in $\Lambda$ have uniformly convergent series, and their Fourier
    coefficients are in $\ell_p$ for all $p>1$; moreover, all the Lebesgue spaces
    $L^q_\Lambda$ are equal for $q<+\infty$. On the other hand, they are large in
    the sense that they are dense in the Bohr group and that the space of the
    bounded functions with spectrum in $\Lambda$ is non separable.

  305. On the use of the variable change w=exp(u) to establish novel integral representations of the Riemann zeta(s,a) -function, incomplete gamma- function, confluent hypergeometric Phi-function and beta function.

    Authors: Sergey K. Sekatskii
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The variable change w=exp(u) is applied to establish novel integral
    representations of the Riemann zeta(s,a)-function, incomplete gamma- function,
    confluent hypergeometric Phi-function and beta-function. Using these
    representations we give a "pedagogically instructive" proof of the well known
    approximate functional relation for the Riemann zeta-function and derive
    Hurwitz representation of the zeta(s,a)- function.

  306. Essential normality of homogeneous submodules.

    Authors: Joerg Eschmeier
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this note we show that each homogeneous submodule of the n-shift module on
    the Euclidean unit ball is q-essentially normal for q greater than n. A
    corresponding result is proved in the finite multiplicity case. Thus we give a
    positive answer to a conjecture of Arveson. At the same time we answer a
    question of Douglas concerning a refinement of the Arveson conjecture.

  307. Wavelets on Graphs via Spectral Graph Theory.

    Authors: David K Hammond, Pierre Vandergheynst, R&#xe9;mi Gribonval
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We propose a novel method for constructing wavelet transforms of functions
    defined on the vertices of an arbitrary finite weighted graph. Our approach is
    based on defining scaling using the the graph analogue of the Fourier domain,
    namely the spectral decomposition of the discrete graph Laplacian $\L$. Given a
    wavelet generating kernel $g$ and a scale parameter $t$, we define the scaled
    wavelet operator $T_g^t = g(t\L)$. The spectral graph wavelets are then formed
    by localizing this operator by applying it to an indicator function.

  308. Module amenability of the second dual and module topological center of semigroup algebras.

    Authors: Massoud Amini, Abasalt Bodaghi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup with an upward directed set of idempotents
    $E$. In this paper we define the module topological center of second dual of a
    Banach algebra which is a Banach module over another Banach algebra with
    compatible actions, and find it for $ \ell ^{1}(S)^{**}$ (as an
    $\ell^{1}(E)$-module). We also prove that $ \ell ^{1}(S)^{**}$ is
    $\ell^{1}(E)$-module amenable if and only if an appropriate group homomorphic
    image of $S$ is finite.

  309. Sharp Nash inequalities on manifolds with boundary in the presence of symmetries.

    Authors: Athanase Cotsiolis, Nikos Labropoulos
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we establish the best constant $\widetilde
    A_{opt}(\overline{M})$ for the Trace Nash inequality on a $n-$dimensional
    compact Riemannian manifold in the presence of symmetries, which is an
    improvement over the classical case due to the symmetries which arise and
    reflect the geometry of manifold. This is particularly true when the data of
    the problem is invariant under the action of an arbitrary compact subgroup $G$
    of the isometry group $Is(M,g)$, where all the orbits have infinite cardinal.

  310. Compact and weakly compact composition operators on BMOA.

    Authors: Jussi Laitila, Pekka J. Nieminen, Eero Saksman, Hans-Olav Tylli
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that a composition operator induced by an analytic self-map of the
    unit disc in the complex plane is weakly compact on the space BMOA precisely
    when the operator is compact on BMOA. As a crucial step we simplify the
    compactness criterion due to Smith for composition operators on BMOA and show
    that his condition on the Nevanlinna counting function alone characterizes
    compactness. In addition, other equivalent compactness criteria are established
    for composition operators on both BMOA and its subspace VMOA.

  311. Global Wave Front Set of Modulation Space types.

    Authors: Karoline Johansson, Joachim Toft, Sandro Coriasco
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce global wave-front sets ${WF}_{M(\omega,\mathscr B)}(f)$, $f\in
    {\mathscr S}^\prime(\mathbf{R}^d)$, with respect to the modulation spaces
    $M(\omega,\mathscr B)$, where $\omega$ is an appropriate weight function and
    $\mathscr B$ is a translation invariant Banach function space. We show that the
    standard properties for known notions of wave-front set extend to
    ${WF}_{M(\omega,\mathscr B)}(f)$. In particular, we prove that microlocality
    and microellipticity hold for a class of globally defined pseudo-differential
    operators.

  312. On the Rademacher maximal function.

    Authors: Mikko Kemppainen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper studies a new maximal operator introduced by Hyt\"onen, McIntosh
    and Portal in 2008 for functions taking values in a Banach space. The
    L^p-boundedness of this operator depends on the range space; certain
    requirements on type and cotype are present for instance. The original
    Euclidean definition of the maximal function is generalized to sigma-finite
    measure spaces with filtrations and the L^p-boundedness is shown not to depend
    on the underlying measure space or the filtration.

  313. Toeplitz and Hankel determinants with singularities: announcement of results.

    Authors: P. Deift, A. Its, I. Krasovsky
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We obtain asymptotics for Toeplitz, Hankel, and Toeplitz+Hankel determinants
    whose symbols possess Fisher-Hartwig singularities. Details of the proofs will
    be presented in another publication.

  314. Asymptotics of Toeplitz, Hankel, and Toeplitz+Hankel determinants with Fisher-Hartwig singularities.

    Authors: P. Deift, A. Its, I. Krasovsky
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study the asymptotics in n for n-dimensional Toeplitz determinants whose
    symbols possess Fisher-Hartwig singularities on a smooth background. We prove
    the general non-degenerate asymptotic behavior as conjectured by Basor and
    Tracy. We also obtain asymptotics of Hankel determinants on a finite interval
    as well as determinants of Toeplitz+Hankel type. Our analysis is based on a
    study of the related system of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle using
    the Riemann-Hilbert approach.

    Authors: Pascal Lef&#xe8;vre, Daniel Li, Herv&#xe9; Queff&#xe9;lec, Luis Rodriguez-Piazza

    Abstract

    We produce several situations where some natural subspaces of classical
    Banach spaces of functions over a compact abelian group contain the space
    $c_0$.

  316. Spectral shift function of higher order.

    Authors: Denis Potapov, Fedor Sukochev, Anna Skripka
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper resolves affirmatively Koplienko's conjecture of 1984 on existence
    of higher order spectral shift measures. Moreover, the paper establishes
    absolute continuity of these measures and, thus, existence of the higher order
    spectral shift functions $\eta_n$. We show the higher order spectral shift
    function is a $L^1$-function and prove an estimate on its $L^1$-norm.

  317. An Integral Equation for Feynman's Operational Calcului.

    Authors: Lance Nielsen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we develop an integral equation satisfied by Feynman's
    operational calculi in formalism of B. Jefferies and G. W. Johnson. In
    particular a "reduced" disentangling is derived and an evolution equation of
    DeFacio, Johnson, and Lapidus is used to obtain the integral equation. After
    the integral equation is presented, we show that solutions to the heat and
    Schrodinger's equation can be obtained from the reduced disentangling and its
    integral equation.

    Authors: Heinz H. Bauschke, Xianfu Wang, Liangjin Yao
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Monotone operators are of basic importance in optimization as they generalize
    simultaneously subdifferential operators of convex functions and positive
    semidefinite (not necessarily symmetric) matrices. In 1970, Asplund studied the
    additive decomposition of a maximal monotone operator as the sum of a
    subdifferential operator and an "irreducible" monotone operator. In 2007,

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper resolves a number of conjectures in the perturbation theory of
    linear operators. Namely, we prove that every Lipschitz function is operator
    Lipschitz in the Schatten-von Neumann ideals $S^\alpha$, $1 < \alpha < \infty$.
    The negative result for $S^\alpha$, $\alpha = 1, \infty$ was earlier
    established by Yu. Farforovskaya in 1972.

  320. Integral Operators in Bilateral Grand Lebesgue Spaces.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis

    In this paper we estimate the norm of operator acting from one Bilateral
    Grand Lebesgue Space (BGLS) into other Bilateral Grand Lebesgue Space. We also
    give some examples to show the sharpness of offered inequalities.

  321. Quilted Gabor frames - a new concept for adaptive time-frequency representation.

    Authors: Monika Doerfler
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Certain signal classes such as audio signals call for signal representations
    with the ability to adapt to the signal's properties. In this article we
    introduce the new concept of quilted frames, which aim at adaptivity in
    time-frequency representations. As opposed to Gabor or wavelet frames, this new
    class of frames allows for the adaptation of the signal analysis to the local
    requirements of signals under consideration. Quilted frames are constructed
    directly in the time-frequency domain in a signal-adaptive manner.

  322. Dirichlet Forms on Laakso and Barlow-Evans Fractals of Arbitrary Dimension.

    Authors: Benjamin Steinhurst
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we explore two constructions of the same family of metric
    measure spaces. The first construction was introduced by Laakso in 2000 where
    he used it as an example that Poincar\'e inequalities can hold on spaces of
    arbitrary Hausdorff dimension. This was proved using minimal generalized upper
    gradients. Following Cheeger's work these upper gradients can be used to define
    a Sobolev space. We show that this leads to a Dirichlet form.

  323. Duality, Tangential Interpolation, and Toeplitz Corona Problems.

    Authors: Brett D. Wick, Mrinal Raghupathi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we extend a method of Arveson and McCullough to prove a
    tangential interpolation theorem for subalgebras of $H^\infty$. This tangential
    interpolation result implies a Toelitz corona theorem. In particular, it is
    shown that the set of matrix positivity conditions is indexed by cyclic
    subspaces, which is analogous to the results obtained for the ball and the
    polydisk algebra by Trent-Wick and Douglas-Sarkar.

    We study the invariant subspaces of abelian operator algebras of finite split
    strict multiplicity. We give sufficient conditions for the reflexivity and
    hereditary reflexivity of these algebras.

    Authors: D. Alpay, A. Melnikov, V. Vinnikov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we extend and solve in the class of functions RSI mentioned in
    the title, a number of problems originally set for the class RS of rational
    functions contractive in the open right-half plane, and unitary on the
    imaginary line with respect to some preassigned self-adjoint matrix. The
    problems we consider include the Schur algorithm, the partial realization
    problem and the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem. The arguments rely on
    the one-to-one correspondence between elements in a given subclass of RSI and
    elements in RS.

    In this article, we study the notions of $n$-isometries in non-Archimedean
    $n$-normed spaces over linear ordered non-Archimedean fields, and prove the
    Mazur-Ulam theorem in the spaces. Furthermore, we obtain some properties for
    $n$-isometries in non-Archimedean $n$-normed spaces.

  327. Time-Frequency Partitions and Characterizations of Modulation Spaces with Localization Opertors.

    Authors: Karlheinz Groechenig, Monika Doerfler
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study families of time-frequency localization operators and derive a new
    characterization of modulation spaces. This characterization relates the size
    of the localization operators to the global time-frequency distribution. As a
    by-product, we obtain a new proof for the existence of multi-window Gabor
    frames and extend the structure theory of Gabor frames.

  328. B(l^p) is never amenable.

    Authors: Volker Runde
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that, if $E$ is a Banach space with a basis satisfying a certain
    condition, then the Banach algebra $\ell^\infty({\cal K}(\ell^2 \oplus E))$ is
    not amenable; in particular, this is true for $E = \ell^p$ with $p \in
    (1,\infty)$. As a consequence, $\ell^\infty({\cal K}(E))$ is not amenable for
    any infinite-dimensional ${\cal L}^p$-space. This, in turn, entails the
    non-amenability of ${\cal B}(\ell^p(E))$ for any ${\cal L}^p$-space $E$, so
    that, in particular, ${\cal B}(\ell^p)$ and ${\cal B}(L^p[0,1])$ are not
    amenable.

    In this paper, we introduce the cone normed spaces and cone bounded linear
    mappings. Among other things, we prove the Baire category theorem and the

  330. On spectrum of Jacobi operator with exponentially increasing matrix elements.

    Authors: I.A.Sheipak
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The class of three-diagonal Jacobi matrix with exponentially increasing
    elements is considered. Under some assumptions the matrix corresponds to
    unbounded self-adjoint operator in the weighted space. The weight depends on
    elements of the matrix and in some cases can arise indefinite metric.

    We proved that eigenvalue problem for this operator is equivalent to the
    eigenvalue problem of Sturm--Liouville operator with discrete self-similar
    weight. The asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues are obtained. These formulas
    differ for cases of definite and indefinite metrics.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For families of magnetic pseudodifferential operators defined by symbols and
    magnetic fields depending continuously on a real parameter $\epsilon$, we show
    that the corresponding family of spectra also varies continuously with
    $\epsilon$.

  332. Sampling and interpolation in Bargmann-Fock spaces of polyanalytic functions.

    Authors: Luis Daniel Abreu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Using Gabor analysis, we give a complete characterization of all lattice
    sampling and interpolating sequences in the Fock space of polyanalytic
    functions, displaying a "Nyquist rate" which increases with $n$, the degree of
    polyanaliticity of the space. Such conditions are equivalent to sharp lattice
    density conditions for certain vector-valued Gabor systems, namely superframes
    and Gabor super-Riesz sequences with Hermite windows, and in the case of
    superframes they were studied recently by Gr\"{o}chenig and Lyubarskii.

    Authors: Vladimir Nikiforov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    One of the aims of this paper is to solve an open problem of Lovasz about
    relations between graph spectra and cut-distance. The paper starts with several
    inequalities between two versions of the cut-norm and the two largest singular
    values of arbitrary complex matrices, exteding, in particular, the well-known
    graph-theoretical Expander Mixing Lemma and giving a hitherto unknown converse
    of it.

  334. Minimal sequences and the Kadison-Singer problem.

    Abstract

    The Kadison-Singer problem asks: does every pure state on the diagonal
    sublgebra of the C*-algebra of bounded operators on a separable infinite
    dimensional Hilbert space admit a unique extension? A yes answer is equivalent
    to several open conjectures including Feichtinger's: every bounded frame is a
    finite union of Riesz sequences.

    Abstract

    The differential expression $L_m=-\partial_x^2 +(m^2-1/4)x^{-2}$ defines a
    self-adjoint operator H_m on L^2(0;\infty) in a natural way when $m^2 \geq 1$.
    We study the dependence of H_m on the parameter m, show that it has a unique
    holomorphic extension to the half-plane Re(m) > -1, and analyze spectral and
    scattering properties of this family of operators.

  336. Stafney's lemma holds for several "classical" interpolation methods.

    Authors: Alon Ivtsan
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let (B_0,B_1) be a Banach pair. Stafney showed that in the definition of the
    norm in the Calderon complex interpolation method on the strip, one can replace
    the space F(B_0,B_1) with its subspace G(B_0,B_1) if the element belongs to the
    intersection of B_0 and B_1. We extend this result to a more general setting,
    which contains several well-known interpolation methods, namely the Calderon
    complex interpolation method on the annulus, an appropriate version of the
    Lions-Peetre real method, and the Peetre "plus minus" method.

  337. Hyperbolic geometry on noncommutative balls.

    Authors: Gelu Popescu
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we study the hyperbolic geometry of noncommutative balls
    generated by the joint operator radius $\omega_\rho$, $\rho\in (0,\infty]$, for
    $n$-tuples of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. In particular,
    $\omega_1$ is the operator norm, $\omega_2$ is the joint numerical radius, and
    $\omega_\infty$ is the joint spectral radius.

  338. Left inverses of matrices with polynomial decay.

    Authors: Romain Tessera
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In a previous note, the author proved that the algebra of Schur operators on
    l^2 is not inverse-closed. When l^2=l^2(X) where X is a metric space, we can
    consider elements of the Schur algebra with certain decay at infinity. For
    instance if X has the doubling property, then Q. Sun has proved that the
    weighted Schur algebra for a strictly polynomial weight is inverse-closed.
    Here, we prove a result dealing with left-invertibility.

  339. Operator log-convex functions and operator means.

    Authors: Tsuyoshi Ando, Fumio Hiai
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce the notion of operator log-convex functions on $(0,\infty)$, and
    prove that a continuous nonnegative function on $(0,\infty)$ is operator
    log-convex if and only if it is operator monotone decreasing. Several
    equivalent conditions related to operator means are given for such functions.

  340. On best proximity points in metric and Banach spaces.

    Authors: Rafa Espinola, Aurora Fernandez-Leon
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points
    of cyclic contractions as well as the convergence of iterates to such proximity
    points. We do it from two different approaches, leading each one of them to
    different results which complete, if not improve, other similar results in the
    theory. Results in this paper stand for Banach spaces, geodesic metric spaces
    and metric spaces. We also include an appendix on CAT(0) spaces where we study
    the particular behavior of these spaces regarding the problems we are concerned
    with.

  341. On an Interpolation Problem for J-Potapov Functions.

    Authors: Bernd Fritzsche, Bernd Kirstein, Uwe Raabe
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let, J, be an m-by-m-signature matrix and let D be the open unit disk in the
    complex plane. Denote by P{J,0}(D) the class of all meromorphic
    m-by-m-matrix-valued functions, f, in D which are holomorphic at 0 and take
    J-contractive values at all points of D at which f is holomorphic. The central
    theme of this paper is the study of the following interpolation problem:

  342. Democracy functions and optimal embeddings for approximation spaces.

    Authors: Gustavo Garrig&#xf3;s, Eugenio Hern&#xe1;ndez, Maria de Natividade
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove optimal embeddings for nonlinear approximation spaces in terms of
    weighted Lorentz sequence spaces, with the weights depending on the democracy
    functions of the basis. As applications we recover known embeddings for
    $N$-term wavelet approximation in Lebesgue, Orlicz, and Lorentz norms. We also
    study the "greedy classes" introduced by Gribonval and Nielsen.

  343. Wavelets Beyond Admissibility.

    Authors: Vladimir V. Kisil
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The purpose of this paper is to articulate an observation that many
    interesting type of wavelets (or coherent states) arise from group
    representations which are not square integrable or vacuum vectors which are not
    admissible. This extends an applicability of the popular wavelets construction
    to classic examples like the Hardy space.

    Keywords: Wavelets, coherent states, group representations, Hardy space,
    functional calculus, Berezin calculus, Radon transform, Moebius map, maximal
    function, affine group, special linear group, numerical range.

  344. Non-homogeneous Tb theorem and random dyadic cubes on metric measure spaces.

    Authors: Tuomas Hyt&#xf6;nen, Henri Martikainen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove a Tb theorem on quasimetric spaces equipped with what we call an
    upper doubling measure. This is a property that encompasses both the doubling
    measures and those satisfying the upper power bound \mu(B(x,r)) \le Cr^d. Our
    spaces are only assumed to satisfy the geometric doubling property: every ball
    of radius r can be covered by at most N balls of radius r/2. A key ingredient
    is the construction of random systems of dyadic cubes in such spaces.

  345. Gradient estimates and domain identification for analytic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators.

    Authors: Jan van Neerven, Jan Maas
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let (P(t)) be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup associated with the stochastic
    Cauchy problem dU(t) = AU(t)dt + dW_H(t), where A is the generator of a
    C_0-semigroup (S(t)) on a Banach space E, H is a Hilbert subspace of E, and
    (W_H(t)) is an H-cylindrical Brownian motion. Assuming that (S(t)) restricts to
    a C_0-semigroup on H, we obtain L^p-bounds for the gradient D_H P(t). We show
    that if (P(t)) is analytic, then the invariance assumption is fulfilled.

  346. On the solubility of transcendental equations in commutative C*-algebras.

    Authors: Mario Garc&#xed;a Armas, Carlos S&#xe1;nchez Fern&#xe1;ndez
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is known that $C(X)$ is algebraically closed if $X$ is a locally
    connected, hereditarily unicoherent compact Hausdorff space. For such spaces,
    we prove that if $F:C(X) \to C(X)$ is given by an everywhere convergent power
    series with coefficients in $C(X)$ and satisfies certain restrictions, then it
    has a root in $C(X)$. Our results generalizes the monic algebraic case.

  347. Domain of attraction of Gaussian probability operators in quantum limit theory.

    Authors: Andrzej &#x141;uczak, Katarzyna Lubnauer
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We characterise the class of probability operators belonging to the domain of
    attraction of Gaussian limits in the setup which is a slight generalisation of
    Urbanik's scheme of noncommutative probability limit theorems.

  348. Frames generated by actions of countable discrete groups.

    Authors: Kjetil Roysland
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We consider dual frames generated by actions of countable discrete groups on
    a Hilbert space. Module frames in a class of modules over a group algebra are
    shown to coincide with a class of ordinary frames in a representation of the
    group. This has applications to shift-invariant spaces and wavelet theory. One
    of the main findings in this paper is that whenever a shift-invariant sub space
    in L2(Rn) has compactly supported dual frame generators then it also has
    compactly supported bi-orthogonal generators.

    In the paper we study existance of infinitly many egenvalues for a model of a
    three particle discrete Shr\"odinger operator.

  351. Weighted shifts on directed trees.

    Authors: Zenon Jablonski, Il Bong Jung, Jan Stochel
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A new class of (not necessarily bounded) operators related to (mainly
    infinite) directed trees is introduced and investigated. Operators in question
    are to be considered as a generalization of classical weighted shifts, on the
    one hand, and of weighted adjacency operators, on the other; they are called
    weighted shifts on directed trees. The basic properties of such operators,
    including closedness, adjoints, polar decomposition and moduli are studied.
    Circularity and the Fredholmness of weighted shifts on directed trees are
    discussed.

  352. $\gamma$-Radonifying operators -- a survey.

    We present a survey of the theory of $\gamma$-radonifying operators and their
    applications to stochastic integration in Banach spaces.

  353. Coincidence of Schur Multipliers of the Drury-Arveson Space.

    Authors: Angshuman Bhattacharya, Tirthankar Bhattacharyya
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In a purely multi-variable setting (i.e., the issues discussed in this note
    are not interesting in the single variable operator theory setting), we show
    that the coincidence of two operator valued Schur class multipliers of a
    certain kind on the Drury-Arveson space is characterized by the fact that the
    associated colligations (or a variant, obtained canonically) are `unitarily
    coincident' in a sense to be made precise in the last section of this article.

  354. On linear systems and tau functions associated with Lame's equation and Painleve's equation VI.

    Authors: Gordon Blower
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Painleve's transcendental differential equation P_{VI} may be expressed as
    the consistency condition for a pair of linear differential equations with 2 by
    2 matrix coefficients with rational entries. By a construction due to Tracy and
    Widom, this linear system is associated with certain kernels which give trace
    class operators on Hilbert space. This paper expresses such operators in terms
    of the Hankel operators \Gamma_\phi of linear systems which are realised in
    terms of the Laurent coefficients of the solutions of the differential
    equations.

  355. Wave-front sets of Banach function types.

    Authors: Karoline Johansson, Joachim Toft, Sandro Coriasco
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce the wave-front set for distributions with respect to Fourier
    images of weighted translation invariant Banach function spaces. We prove that
    usual mapping properties for pseudo-differential operators hold in the context
    of such wave-front sets.

  356. Quantum Markov fields on graphs.

    Authors: Luigi Accardi, Hiromichi Ohno, Farrukh Mukhamedov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce generalized quantum Markov states and generalized d-Markov
    chains which extend the notion quantum Markov chains on spin systems to that on
    $C^*$-algebras defined by general graphs. As examples of generalized d-Markov
    chains, we construct the entangled Markov fields on tree graphs. The concrete
    examples of generalized d-Markov chains on Cayley trees are also investigated.

  357. New Calder\'on-Zygmund decompositions.

    Authors: Nadine Badr, Fr&#xe9;d&#xe9;ric Bernicot
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We state a new Calderon-Zygmund decomposition for Sobolev spaces on a
    doubling Riemannian manifold. Our hypotheses are weaker than those of the
    already known decomposition which used classical Poincare inequalities.

  358. Shift Operators Contained in Contractions, Pseudocontinuable Schur Functions and Orthogonal Systems on the Unit Circle.

    Authors: Vladimir K. Dubovoy, Bernd Fritzsche, Bernd Kirstein
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The main aim of this paper is to establish the connection between well-known
    criteria for the pseudocontinuability of a non-inner Schur function Theta in
    the unit disk. In a canonical way we associate a probability measure mu on the
    unit circle with Theta. One of the two criteria will be reformulated in the
    face of mu, whereas the other one is drafted in view of a completely
    non--unitary contraction T having Theta as its corresponding characteristic
    function. Our main result clarifies an immediate connection between the
    above-mentioned two criteria.

  359. Fourier duality for fractal measures with affine scales.

    Authors: Dorin Ervin Dutkay, Palle E.T. Jorgensen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    For a family of fractal measures, we find an explicit Fourier duality. The
    measures in the pair have compact support in $\br^d$, and they both have the
    same matrix scaling. But the two use different translation vectors, one by a
    subset $B$ in $\br^d$, and the other by a related subset $L$. Among other
    things, we show that there is then a pair of infinite discrete sets $\Gamma(L)$
    and $\Gamma(B)$ in $\br^d$ such that the $\Gamma(L)$-Fourier exponentials are
    orthogonal in $L^2(\mu_B)$, and the $\Gamma(B)$-Fourier exponentials are
    orthogonal in $L^2(\mu_L)$.

  360. An Elementary Proof of the Restricted Invertibility Theorem.

    Authors: Daniel A. Spielman, Nikhil Srivastava
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We give an elementary proof of a generalization of Bourgain and Tzafriri's
    Restricted Invertibility Theorem, which says roughly that any matrix with
    columns of unit length and bounded operator norm has a large coordinate
    subspace on which it is well-invertible. Our proof gives the tightest known
    form of this result, is constructive, and provides a deterministic polynomial
    time algorithm for finding the desired subspace.

  361. Graph-theoretic conditions for injectivity of functions on rectangular domains.

    Authors: Murad Banaji
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper presents sufficient graph-theoretic conditions for injectivity of
    collections of differentiable functions on rectangular subsets of R^n. The
    results have implications for the possibility of multiple fixed points of maps
    and flows. Well-known results on systems with signed Jacobians are shown to be
    easy corollaries of more general results presented here.

  362. Convolution operators on Banach lattices with shift-invariant norms.

    Authors: Nazar Miheisi
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let G be a locally compact abelian group and let \mu be a complex valued
    regular Borel measure on G. In this paper we consider a generalisation of a
    class of Banach lattices introduced in [6]. We use Laplace transform methods to
    show that the norm of a convolution operator with symbol \mu on such a space is
    bounded below by the L_\infty norm of the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of \mu.
    We also show that for any Banach lattice of locally integrable functions on G
    with a shift-invariant norm, the norm of a convolution operator with symbol \mu
    is bounded above by the total variation of \mu.

    Authors: Nikolai Dokuchaev
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Identity theorem for analytic complex functions says that a function is
    uniquely defined by its values on a set that contains a density point. The
    paper presents sufficient conditions for classes of real analytic functions
    that ensures similar property.

    Authors: Emanuele Nunzio Spadaro, Marco Cicalese, Caterina Ida Zeppieri
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We consider the problem of the asymptotic description of a family of energies
    introduced by Coleman and Mizel in the theory of nonlinear second-order
    materials depending on an extra parameter k. By proving a new nonlinear
    interpolation inequality, we show that there exists a positive constant k_0
    such that, for k<k_0, these energies Gamma-converge to a sharp interface
    functional.

  365. Schur and operator multipliers.

    Authors: I.G.Todorov, L.Turowska
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Schur multipliers were introduced by Schur in the early 20th century and have
    since then found a considerable number of applications in Analysis and enjoyed
    an intensive development. Apart from the beauty of the subject in itself,
    sources of interest in them were connections with Perturbation Theory, Harmonic
    Analysis, the Theory of Operator Integrals and others. Advances in the
    quantisation of Schur multipliers were recently made by Kissin and Shulman. The
    aim of the present article is to summarise a part of the ideas and results in
    the theory of Schur and operator multipliers.

    Authors: A.G. Ramm
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Convergence of the classical Newton's method and its DSM version for solving
    operator equations $F(u)=h$ is proved without any smoothness assumptions on
    $F'(u)$. It is proved that every solvable equation $F(u)=f$ can be solved by
    Newton's method if the initial approximation is sufficiently close to the
    solution and $||[F'(y)]^{-1}||\leq m$, where $m>0$ is a constant.

    Authors: Mihai Putinar
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    A weighted sums of squares decomposition of positive Borel measurable
    functions on a bounded Borel subset of the Euclidean space is obtained via
    duality from the spectral theorem for tuples of commuting self-adjoint
    operators. The analogous result for polynomials or certain rational functions
    was amply exploited during the last decade in a variety of applications.

  368. D(Maximum)=P(Argmaximum).

    Authors: Ivan D. Remizov, Alexei V. Savvateev
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this note, we represent a subdifferential of a maximum functional defined
    on the space of all real-valued continuous functions on a given metric compact
    set. For a given argument, $f$ it coincides with the set of all probability
    measures on the set of points maximizing $f$ on the initial compact set. This
    complete characterization lies in the heart of several important identities in
    microeconomics, such as Roy's identity, Sheppard's lemma, as well as duality
    theory in production and linear programming.

    Abstract

    We prove that for any operator $T$ on $ \ell^\infty(H^1 (\bT))$, the identity
    factores through $T$ or $\Id - T$.

    We re-prove analogous results of H.M. Wark for the spaces
    $\ell^infty(H^p(\bT))$, $1<p <\infty$. In the present paper direct
    combinatorics of colored dyadic intervals replaces the dependence on
    Szemeredi's theorem in the work of H. M. Wark.

  370. Spectral reciprocity and matrix representations of unbounded operators.

    Authors: Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Erin P. J. Pearse
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Motivated by potential theory on discrete spaces, we study a family of
    unbounded Hermitian operators in Hilbert space which generalize the usual
    graph-theoretic discrete Laplacian. These operators are discrete analogues of
    the classical conformal Laplacians and Hamiltonians from statistical mechanics.
    For an infinite discrete set $X$, we consider operators acting on Hilbert
    spaces of functions on $X$, and their representations as infinite matrices; the
    focus is on $\ell^2(X)$, and the energy space $\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal E}$.

  371. Compactness of derivations from commutative Banach algebras.

    Authors: Matthew J. Heath
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We consider the compactness of derivations from commutative Banach algebras
    into their dual modules. We show that if there are no compact derivations from
    a commutative Banach algebra, $A$, into its dual module, then there are no
    compact derivations from $A$ into any symmetric $A$-bimodule; we also prove
    analogous results for weakly compact derivations and for bounded derivations of
    finite rank. We then characterise the compact derivations from the convolution
    algebra $\ell^1(\Z_+)$ to its dual. Finally, we give an example (due to J.

  373. A quantitative notion of redundancy for finite frames.

    Authors: Bernhard G. Bodmann, Peter G. Casazza, Gitta Kutyniok
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The objective of this paper is to improve the customary definition of
    redundancy by providing quantitative measures in its place, which we coin upper
    and lower redundancies, that match better with an intuitive understanding of
    redundancy for finite frames in a Hilbert space. This motivates a carefully
    chosen list of desired properties for upper and lower redundancies. The means
    to achieve these properties is to consider the maximum and minimum of a
    redundancy function, which is interesting in itself.

    We obtain new variants of weighted Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation
    inequalities in Orlicz spaces, as a consequence of weighted Hardy-type
    inequalities. The weights we consider need not be doubling.

    Abstract

    This note corrects a gap in an earlier paper by the first named author. The
    original proof is here corrected under the formally stronger hypothesis that X
    admit a C^{p} smooth norm rather than merely a Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth bump
    function.

    Abstract

    This paper proves two theorems. The first of these simplifies and lends
    clarity to the previous characterizations of the invariant subspaces of $S$,
    the operator of multiplication by the coordinate function $z$, on
    $L^2(\mathbb{T};\mathbb{C}^n)$, where $\mathbb{T}$ is the unit circle, by
    characterizing the invariant subspaces of $S^n$ on scalar valued $L^p$
    ($0<p\le\infty$) thereby eliminating range functions and partial isometries.

    Authors: Eric Weber, Dorin Ervin Dutkay, Deguang Han, Qiyu Sun
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study Fourier frames of exponentials on fractal measures. We prove that,
    for affine iterated function system measures, the Beurling dimension of a
    Fourier frame must coincide with the Hausdorff dimension of the fractal. We
    present necessary and/or sufficient conditions for a set of frequencies to form
    a Bessel sequence or a frame of exponential functions.

    Authors: G. Mauceri, S. Meda
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let M be a space of homogeneous type and denote by F^\infty_{cont}(M) the
    space of finite linear combinations of continuous (1,\infty)-atoms. In this
    note we give a simple function theoretic proof of the equivalence on
    F^\infty_{cont}(M) of the H^1-norm and the norm defined in terms of finite
    linear combinations of atoms. The result holds also for the class of
    nondoubling metric measure spaces considered in previous works of A. Carbonaro
    and the authors.

    Authors: Pascal Lef&#xe8;vre, Daniel Li, Herv&#xe9; Queff&#xe9;lec, Luis Rodriguez-Piazza
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We construct an analytic self-map $\phi$ of the unit disk and an Orlicz
    function $\Psi$ for which the composition operator of symbol $\phi$ is compact
    on the Hardy-Orlicz space $H^\Psi$, but not compact on the Bergman-Orlicz space
    ${\mathfrak B}^\Psi$. For that, we first prove a Carleson embedding theorem,
    and then characterize the compactness of composition operators on
    Bergman-Orlicz spaces, in terms of Carleson function (of order 2). We show that
    this Carleson function is equivalent to the Nevanlinna counting function of
    order 2.

    We give an alternative proof of W. T. Gowers' theorem on block bases by
    reducing it to a discrete analogue on specific countable nets. We also give a

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we are concerned with the space of tempered ultrahyperfunctions
    corresponding to a proper open convex cone. A holomorphic extension theorem
    (the version of the celebrated edge of the wedge theorem) will be given for
    this setting. As application, a version is also given of the principle of
    determination of an analytic function by its values on a non-empty open real
    set. The paper finishes with the generalization of holomorphic extension
    theorem \`a la Martineau.

    Authors: Angshuman Bhattacharya, Tirthankar Bhattacharyya
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The characteristic function for a contraction is a classical complete unitary
    invariant devised by Sz.-Nagy and Foias. Just as a contraction is related to
    the Szego kernel $k_S(z,w) = (1 - z\ow)^{-1}$ for $|z|, |w| < 1$, by means of
    $(1/k_S)(T,T^*) \ge 0$, we consider an arbitrary open connected domain $\Omega$
    in $\BC^n$, a complete Nevanilinna-Pick kernel $k$ on $\Omega$ and a tuple $T =
    (T_1, ..., T_n)$ of commuting bounded operators on a complex separable Hilbert
    space $\clh$ such that $(1/k)(T,T^*) \ge 0$.

    Authors: Pierre-Andr&#xe9; Zitt
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We prove some results about the super Poincar\'e inequality (SPI) and its
    relation to the spectrum of an operator: we show that it can be alternatively
    written with Orlicz norms instead of L1 norms, and we use this to give an
    alternative proof that a bound on the bottom of the essential spectrum implies
    a SPI. Finally, we apply these ideas to give a spectral proof of the log
    Sobolev inequality for the Gaussian measure.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is well known that the solutions of a (relaxed) commutant lifting problem
    can be described via a linear fractional representation of the Redheffer type.
    The coefficients of such Redheffer representations are analytic operator-valued
    functions defined on the unit disc D of the complex plane. In this paper we
    consider the converse question. Given a Redheffer representation, necessary and
    sufficient conditions on the coefficients are obtained guaranteeing the
    representation to appear in the description of the solutions to some relaxed
    commutant lifting problem.

  386. Isomorphism properties of Toeplitz operators and pseudo-differential operators between modulation spaces.

    Authors: Joachim Toft, Karl-Heinz Gr&#xf6;chenig
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We investigate the lifting property of modulation spaces and construct
    explicit isomorpisms between them. For each weight function $\omega$ and
    suitable window function $\fy $, the Toeplitz operator (or localization
    operator) $\tp_\fy (\omega)$ is an isomorphism from $M^{p,q}_{(\omega_0)}$ onto
    $M^{p,q}_{(\omega_0/\omega)}$ for every $p,q \in [1,\infty ]$ and arbitrary
    weight function $\omega_0$. The methods involve the pseudo-differential
    calculus of Bony and Chemin and the Wiener algebra property of certain symbol
    classes of pseudo-differential operators.

    Authors: Kevin Beanland, Frank Sanacory
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that the dual of Schlumprecht's space $S^*$ and the dual of Gowers
    and Maurey's HI space each contain a $c_0$ spreading model and that for each $1
    < p < \infty$ and $1/p+1/q=1$, the dual of the $p$-convexification of
    Schlumprecht's space and the dual of its HI counterpart, constructed by Neil
    Dew, each contain an $\ell_q$ spreading model. The existence of a $c_0$
    spreading model in $S^*$ solves a problem of S. A. Argyros.

  389. A weak Hilbert space with few symmetries.

    Authors: Kevin Beanland, Spiros A. Argyros, Theocharis Raikoftsalis
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We construct a weak Hilbert Banach space such that for every block subspace
    $Y$ every bounded linear operator on Y is of the form D+S where S is a strictly
    singular operator and D is a diagonal operator. We show that this yields a weak
    Hilbert space whose block subspaces are not isomorphic to any of their proper
    subspaces.

  390. Daugavet centers.

    Authors: T. Bosenko, V. Kadets
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    An operator $G : \allowbreak X \to Y$ is said to be a Daugavet center if $\|G
    + T\| = \|G\| + \|T\|$ for every rank-1 operator $T : \allowbreak X \to Y$. The
    main result of the paper is: if $G : \allowbreak X \to Y$ is a Daugavet center,
    $Y$ is a subspace of a Banach space $E$, and $J: Y \to E$ is the natural
    embedding operator, then $E$ can be equivalently renormed in such a way, that
    $J \circ G : X \to E$ is also a Daugavet center.

  391. Fixed point properties and second bounded cohomology of universal lattices on Banach space.

    Authors: Masato Mimura
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $B$ be any $L^p$ space or any Banach space isomorphic to a Hilbert space,
    and $k \geq 0$ be integer. We show that if $n\geq 4$, then the universal
    lattice $\Gamma =SL_n (\mathbb{Z}[X_1, ..., X_k])$ has property
    $(\mathrm{F}_B)$ in the sense of Bader--Furman--Gelander--Monod. Namely, any
    affine isometric action on $B$ has a global fixed point. These properties are
    known to be stronger than Kazhdan's property $(\mathrm{T})$. We also define the
    following generalization of property $(\mathrm{F}_B)$: the boundedness property
    of all affine quasi-actions on $B$.

    Abstract

    Given $\u$ a multiplicative sequence of polynomial ideals, we consider the
    associated algebra of holomorphic functions of bounded type, $H_{b\u}(E)$. We
    prove that, under very natural conditions verified by many usual classes of
    polynomials, the spectrum $M_{b\u}(E)$ of this algebra ``behaves'' like the
    classical case of $M_{b}(E)$ (the spectrum of $H_b(E)$, the algebra of bounded
    type holomorphic functions).

    measure. As an application, a new proof of the classical Naimark's dilation
    theorem is given. The same approach is used to describe the spectrum of all
    unitary rank-one perturbations of a given partial isometry.

  394. Characterising weakly almost periodic functionals on the measure algebra.

    Authors: Matthew Daws
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and consider the weakly-almost periodic
    functionals on $M(G)$, the measure algebra of $G$, denoted by $\wap(M(G))$.
    This is a C$^*$-subalgebra of the commutative C$^*$-algebra $M(G)^*$, and so
    has character space, say $K_\wap$. In this paper, we investigate properties of
    $K_\wap$. We present a short proof that $K_\wap$ can naturally be turned into a
    semigroup whose product is separately continuous. This is in complete agreement
    with the classical situation when $G$ is discrete.

    Given an homogeneous polynomial on a Banach space $E$ belonging to some
    maximal or minimal polynomial ideal, we consider its iterated extension to an
    ultrapower of $E$ and prove that this extension remains in the ideal and has
    the same ideal norm. As a consequence, we show that the Aron-Berner extension
    is a well defined isometry for any maximal or minimal ideal of homogeneous
    polynomials. This allow us to obtain symmetric versions of some basic results
    of the metric theory of tensor products.

    Decompositions of J-unitary and unitary operators which are analogous to

    We will extend these results to complex equiangular frames where the inner
    product between any pair of vectors is a common multiple of a cube root of
    unity and exhibit equiangular frames that arise from groups in this manner.

  433. Coorbit Spaces for Dual Pairs.

    Authors: J. G. Christensen, G. &#xd3;lafsson
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we present an abstract framework for construction of Banach
    spaces of distributions from group representations. This generalizes the theory
    of coorbit spaces initiated by H.G. Feichtinger and K. Gr\"ochenig in the
    1980's. Spaces that can be described by this new technique include the whole
    Banach-scale of Bergman spaces on the unit disc. For these Bergman spaces we
    show that atomic decompositions can be constructed through sampling. We further
    present a wavelet characterization of Besov spaces on the forward light cone.

    Abstract

    We construct a wavelet and a generalised Fourier basis with respect to some
    fractal measures given by one-dimensional iterated function systems. In this

    generalising in this way some previous work of Jorgensen and Dutkay to the
    non-linear setting.

    hypercyclic tuples of operators. What is rather remarkable is that in every
    finite dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, a pair of
    commuting matrices exists which forms a locally hypercyclic, non-hypercyclic
    tuple.

    Amenability of any of the algebras described in the title is known to force

    that certain Banach algebras without bounded approximate identities cannot be
    approximately amenable. The method also provides a unified approach to existing

    We construct explicit solutions of a number of Stieltjes moment problems
    based on moments of the form ${\rho}_{1}^{(r)}(n)=(2rn)!$ and
    ${\rho}_{2}^{(r)}(n)=[(rn)!]^{2}$, $r=1,2,...$, $n=0,1,2,...$, \textit{i.e.} we
    find functions $W^{(r)}_{1,2}(x)>0$ satisfying
    $\int_{0}^{\infty}x^{n}W^{(r)}_{1,2}(x)dx = {\rho}_{1,2}^{(r)}(n)$. It is shown
    using criteria for uniqueness and non-uniqueness (Carleman, Krein, Berg, Pakes,
    Stoyanov) that for $r>1$ both ${\rho}_{1,2}^{(r)}(n)$ give rise to non-unique
    solutions.

    We determine a class of rearrangements that admit a supporting tree. This

    which a bounded rearrangement operator acts as an isomorphism. The
    combinatorial issues of these problems give rise to a two-person game, to be
    played with colored dyadic intervals. We determine winning strategies for each

    $T^{n_j}$ converges weakly to zero along a sequence $\{n_j\}$ with density one.

    Authors: Tuomas P. Hyt&#xf6;nen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    As a step in developing a non-commutative Calderon-Zygmund theory, J. Parcet
    (J. Funct. Anal., 2009) established a new pseudo-localisation principle for
    classical singular integrals, showing that Tf has small L^2 norm outside a set
    which only depends on f\in L^2 but not on the arbitrary normalised
    Calderon-Zygmund operator T. Parcet also asked if a similar result holds true
    in L^p for p\in(1,\infty). This is answered in the affirmative in the present
    paper. The proof, which is based on martingale techniques, even somewhat
    improves on the original L^2 result.

    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We introduce a new affine
    invariant, which we call $\Omega_K$, that can be found in three different ways:
    as a limit of normalized $L_p$-affine surface areas, as the relative entropy of
    the cone measure of $K$ and the cone measure of $K^\circ$, as the limit of the
    volume difference of $K$ and $L_p$-centroid bodies. We investigate properties
    of $\Omega_K$ and of related new invariant quantities. In particular, we show
    new affine isoperimetric inequalities and we show a "information inequality"
    for convex bodies.

    In recent years directional multiscale transformations like the curvelet- or
    shearlet transformation have gained considerable attention. The reason for this
    is that these transforms are, unlike more traditional transforms like wavelets,
    able to efficiently handle data with features along edges. The main result
    confirming this property for shearlets is contained in [G. Kutyniok, D. Labate.

  474. Amenability of ultraproducts of Banach algebras.

    Authors: Matthew Daws
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study when certain properties of Banach algebras are stable under
    ultrapower constructions. In particular, we consider when every ultrapower of
    $\mc A$ is Arens regular, and give some evidence that this is if and only if
    $\mc A$ is isomorphic to a closed subalgebra of operators on a super-reflexive
    Banach space. We show that such ideas are closely related to whether one can
    sensibly define an ultrapower of a dual Banach algebra. We study how tensor
    products of ultrapowers behave, and apply this to study the question of when
    every ultrapower of $\mc A$ is amenable.

  475. New thoughts on the vector-valued Mihlin-H\"ormander multiplier theorem.

    Authors: Tuomas P. Hyt&#xf6;nen
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let X be a UMD space with type t and cotype q, and let T be a Fourier
    multiplier operator with a scalar-valued symbol m. If the Mihlin multiplier
    estimate holds for all partial derivatives of m up to the order n/max(t,q')+1,
    then T is bounded on the X-valued Bochner spaces. For scalar-valued
    multipliers, this improves the theorem of Girardi and Weis (J. Funct. Anal.,
    2003) who required similar assumptions for derivatives up to the order n/r+1,
    where r is a Fourier-type of X.

    Abstract

    A new class of metric measure spaces is introduced and studied. This class
    generalises the well-established doubling metric measure spaces as well as the
    spaces (R^n,mu) with mu(B(x,r))<Cr^d, in which non-doubling harmonic analysis
    has recently been developed. It seems to be a promising framework for an
    abstract extension of this theory. Tolsa's space of regularised BMO functions
    is defined in this new setting, and the John-Nirenberg inequality is proven.

    In this paper, we give two explicit examples of unbounded linear maximal

    adjoint $S^*$, and $-S^*$ is not maximal monotone. This gives a negative answer
    to a recent question posed by Svaiter. The second unbounded linear maximal
    monotone operator is the inverse Volterra operator $T$ on $L^{2}[0,1]$.

  486. On a class of modified Wasserstein distances induced by concave mobility functions defined on bounded intervals.

    Authors: Stefano Lisini, Antonio Marigonda
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We study a new class of distances between Radon measures similar to those
    studied in a recent paper of Dolbeault-Nazaret-Savar\'e [DNS]. These distances
    (more correctly pseudo-distances because can assume the value $+\infty$) are
    defined generalizing the dynamical formulation of the Wasserstein distance by
    means of a concave mobility function. We are mainly interested in the physical
    interesting case (not considered in [DNS]) of a concave mobility function
    defined in a bounded interval. We state the basic properties of the space of
    measures endowed with this pseudo-distance.

  487. (Non-)amenability of B(E).

    Authors: Volker Runde
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In 1972, the late B. E. Johnson introduced the notion of an amenable Banach
    algebra and asked whether the Banach algebra $B(E)$ of all bounded linear
    operators on a Banach space $E$ could ever be amenable if $\dim E = \infty$.
    Somewhat surprisingly, this question was answered positively only very recently
    as a by-product of the Argyros--Haydon result that solves the "scalar plus
    compact problem": there is an infinite-dimensional Banach space $E$, the dual
    of which is $\ell^1$, such that $B(E) = K(E)+ \mathbb{C} \, \id_E$.

    the Christoffel-Darboux formula for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle,
    but the extension to two variables involves issues of uniqueness in the formula
    and the study of ideals of two variable orthogonal polynomials with respect to

  491. Characterising derivations from the disc algebra to its dual.

    Authors: Yemon Choi, Matthew J. Heath
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We characterize the bounded derivations from the disc algebra to its dual in
    terms of a natural `symbol' function. This is the first non-trivial uniform
    algebra for which such a characterisation has been obtained.

    As an immediate corollary we show that all such derivations are automatically
    compact, resolving a question raised by S. E. Morris. We also give the first
    construction of explicit "Pietsch control measures" for such derivations, thus
    obtaining an independent proof that they are 2-summing.

    $c_{xy}$ weights the edges, which are then interpreted as conductors of

    of finite energy.

    For 0 < s < 1, let phi_s(z)=sz+(1-s). We investigate the unital C*-algebra
    generated by the semigroup {C_{phi_s} : 0 < s < 1} of composition operators
    acting on the Hardy space of the unit disk. We determine the joint approximate
    point spectrum of a related collection of operators and show that the quotient
    of the C*-algebra by its commutator ideal is isomorphic to the direct sum of
    the complex numbers and the algebra of almost periodic functions on the real
    line. In addition, we show that the C*-algebra is irreducible.

    we derive sampling and Fourier-Neumann type expansions and an explicit closed
    formula for the spectrum of a right inverse of the Dunkl operator.

    The (matrical) solution set of a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) is a convex
    basic non-commutative semi-algebraic set. The main theorem of this paper is a
    converse, a result which has implications for both semidefinite programming and
    systems engineering. For p(x) a non-commutative polynomial in free variables x=
    (x1, ... xg) we can substitute a tuple of symmetric matrices X= (X1, ... Xg)
    for x and obtain a matrix p(X). Assume p is symmetric with p(0) invertible, let
    Ip denote the set {X: p(X) is an invertible matrix}, and let Dp denote the

    Abstract

    Let $U$ be a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space $\ch$, and
    $\a:\{1,..., 2k\}\mapsto\{1,..., k\}$ a pair partition. Then the ergodic
    average $$ \frac{1}{N^{k}}\sum_{n_{1},...,n_{k}=0}^{N-1}
    U^{n_{\a(1)}}A_{1}U^{n_{\a(2)}}... U^{n_{\a(2k-1)}}A_{2k-1}U^{n_{\a(2k)}} $$
    converges in the strong operator topology provided $U$ is almost periodic, that
    is when $\ch$ is generated by the eigenvalues of $U$. We apply the present
    result to obtain the convergence of the Cesaro mean of several multiple
    correlations.

    Authors: Elena Cordero, Fabio Nicola
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    It is known that Fourier integral operators arising when solving
    Schr\"odinger-type operators are bounded on the modulation spaces $\cM^{p,q}$,
    for $1\leq p=q\leq\infty$, provided their symbols belong to the Sj\"ostrand
    class $M^{\infty,1}$. However, they generally fail to be bounded on $\cM^{p,q}$
    for $p\not=q$. In this paper we study several additional conditions, to be
    imposed on the phase or on the symbol, which guarantee the boundedness on
    $\cM^{p,q}$ for $p\not=q$, and between $\cM^{p,q}\to\cM^{q,p}$, $1\leq q<
    p\leq\infty$.

    of the $H$-measures in the $L^p$ framework.

  524. Functions of operators under perturbations of class $\bS_p$.

    Authors: A.B. Aleksandrov, V.V. Peller
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This is a continuation of our paper \cite{AP2}. We prove that for functions
    $f$ in the H\"older class $\L_\a(\R)$ and $1<p<\be$, the operator $f(A)-f(B)$
    belongs to $\bS_{p/\a}$, whenever $A$ and $B$ are self-adjoint operators with
    $A-B\in\bS_p$. We also obtain sharp estimates for the Schatten--von Neumann
    norms $\big\|f(A)-f(B)\big\|_{\bS_{p/\a}}$ in terms of $\|A-B\|_{\bS_p}$ and
    establish similar results for other operator ideals. We also estimate
    Schatten--von Neumann norms of higher order differences
    $\sum\limits_{j=0}^m(-1)^{m-j}(m\j)f\big(A+jK\big)$.

  525. Approximate weak amenability of Banach algebras.

    Authors: G. H. Esslamzadeh, B. Shojaee
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we deal with three generalized notions of amenability,
    approximate, approximate weak and approximate n-weak amenability. The first two
    were introduced and studied by Ghahramani and Loy in [5]. We introduce the
    third one. Then we investigate some properties of Banach algebras in each of
    these classes. Also we consider approximate weak amenability and approximate
    n-weak amenability of second duals.

  526. Approximate Connes-amenability of dual Banach algebras.

    Authors: G. H. Esslamzadeh, B. Shojaee
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We introduce the notions of approximate Connes-amenability and approximate
    strong Connes-amenability. Then we characterize these two types of dual Banach
    algebras in terms of approximate normal virtual diagonal and approximate
    $\sigma WC-$ virtual diagonals. Some concrete cases are also discussed.

  527. Mixed Modulation Spaces and Their Application to Pseudodifferential Operators.

    Authors: Shannon Bishop
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This paper uses frame techniques to characterize the Schatten class
    properties of integral operators. The main result shows that if the
    coefficients of certain frame expansions of the kernel of an integral operator
    are in (\ell^{2,p}), then the operator is Schatten p-class. As a corollary, we
    conclude that if the kernel or Kohn-Nirenberg symbol of a pseudodifferential
    operator lies in a particular mixed modulation space, then the operator is
    Schatten p-class.

  528. A remark on a generalization of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality to the Holder class.

    Authors: Hassan Ibrahim
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In a recent work of the author, a parabolic extension of the elliptic Ogawa
    type inequality has been established. This inequality is originated from the
    Brezis-Gallouet-Wainger logarithmic type inequalities revealing Sobolev
    embeddings in the critical case. In this paper, we improve the parabolic
    version of Ogawa inequality by allowing it to cover not only the class of
    functions from Sobolev spaces, but the wider class of Holder continuous
    functions.

  529. Positivity of Riesz Functionals and Solutions of Quadratic and Quartic Moment Problems.

    Authors: Lawrence Fialkow, Jiawang Nie
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We employ positivity of Riesz functionals to establish representing measures
    (or approximate representing measures) for truncated multivariate moment
    sequences. For a truncated moment sequence $y$, we show that $y$ lies in the
    closure of truncated moment sequences admitting representing measures supported
    in a prescribed closed set $K \subseteq \re^n$ if and only if the associated
    Riesz functional $L_y$ is $K$-positive. For a determining set $K$, we prove
    that if $L_y$ is strictly $K$-positive, then $y$ admits a representing measure
    supported in $K$.

  530. Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for infinite dimensional H\"ormander type generators on the Heisenberg group.

    Authors: James Inglis, Ioannis Papageorgiou
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The Heisenberg group is one of the simplest sub-Riemannian settings in which
    we can define non-elliptic H\"ormander type generators. We can then consider
    coercive inequalities associated to such generators. We prove that a certain
    class of nontrivial Gibbs measures with quadratic interaction potential on an
    infinite product of Heisenberg groups satisfy logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

  531. Spherical means in annular regions in the $n$-dimensional real hyperbolic spaces.

    Authors: Rama Rawat, R. K. Srivastava
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Let $Z(Ann(r,R))$ be the class of all continuous functions $f$ on the annulus
    $Ann(r,R)$ in the real hyperbolic space $\mathbb B^n$ with spherical means
    $M_sf(x)=0$, whenever $s>0$ and $x\in \mathbb B^n$ are such that the sphere
    $S_s(x)\subset \Ann(r, R) $ and $B_r(0)\subseteq B_s(x).$ In this article, we
    give a characterization for functions in $Z(Ann(r,R))$. In the case $R=\infty$,
    this result gives a new proof of Helgason's support theorem for spherical means
    in the real hyperbolic spaces.

  532. On Hyper Singular Integral Operators over Weighted Sobolev Spaces.

    Authors: Dejenie A. Lakew
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper we study singular integral operators which are hyper or weak
    over Lipschitz or Holder spaces and over weghted Sobolev spaces defined on
    unbounded domains in the standard $n$-D space $R^n$ for $n>0$. The
    $\pi$-operator in this case is one of the hyper integral operators which has
    been studied extensively than other hyper singular integral operators.

  533. Unitary equivalence to a complex symmetric matrix: an algorithm.

    Authors: James E. Tener
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We present a necessary and sufficient condition for a 3 by 3 matrix to be
    unitarily equivalent to a symmetric matrix with complex entries, and an
    algorithm whereby an arbitrary 3 by 3 matrix can be tested. This test
    generalizes to a necessary and sufficient condition that applies to almost
    every n by n matrix. The test is constructive in that it explicitly exhibits
    the unitary equivalence to a complex symmetric matrix.

  534. The unbounded commutant of an operator of class C_0.

    Authors: Hari Bercovici
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We describe the closed, densely defined linear transformations commuting with
    a given operator T of class C_0 in terms of bounded operators in {T}'. Our
    results extend those of Sarason for operators with defect index 1, and Martin
    in the case of arbitrary finite index.

  535. Weak regularity of Gauss mass transport.

    Authors: Alexander V. Kolesnikov
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ we consider a mass
    transportation mapping $T$ satisfying 1) $T$ sends $\mu$ to $\nu$, 2) $T$ has
    the form $T = \varphi \frac{\nabla \varphi}{|\nabla \varphi|}$, where $\varphi$
    is a function with convex sublevel sets. We prove a change of variables formula
    for $T$. We also establish some a priori estimates for $T$, and a new form of
    the parabolic maximum principle. In addition, we discuss relations to the
    Monge--Kantorovich problem, curvature flows theory, and parabolic nonlinear
    PDE's.

  536. Representation and Approximation of Pseudodifferential Operators by Sums of Gabor Multipliers.

    Authors: Karlheinz Groechenig
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We investigate a new representation of general operators by means of sums of
    shifted Gabor multipliers. These representations arise by studying the matrix
    of an operator with respect to a Gabor frame. Each shifted Gabor multiplier
    corresponds to a side-diagonal of this matrix. This representation is
    especially useful for operators whose associated matrix possesses some
    off-diagonal decay. In this case one can completely characterize the symbol
    class of the operator by the size of the symbols of the Gabor multipliers.

  537. Note on affine Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities.

    Authors: Zhichun Zhai
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    This note proves sharp affine Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities which are
    stronger than all known sharp Euclidean Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities and
    imply the affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities. The logarithmic version of
    affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities is verified. Moreover, An alternative proof
    of the affine Moser-Trudinger and Morrey-Sobolev inequalities is given. The
    main tools are the equimeasurability of rearrangements and the strengthened
    version of the classical P\'{o}lys-Szeg\"{o} principle.

  538. On a problem of Halmos: unitary equivalence of a matrix to its transpose.

    Authors: Stephan Ramon Garcia, James E. Tener
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    Motivated by a problem of Halmos, we obtain a canonical decomposition for
    complex matrices which are unitarily equivalent to their transpose (UET).
    Surprisingly, the naive assertion that a matrix is UET if and only if it is
    unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric matrix (i.e., $T = T^t$) holds for
    matrices 7x7 and smaller, but fails for matrices 8x8 and larger.

  539. A critical parabolic Sobolev embedding via Littlewood-Paley decomposition.

    Authors: Hassan Ibrahim
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    In this paper, we show a parabolic version of the Ogawa type inequality in
    Sobolev spaces. Our inequality provides an estimate of the $L^{\infty}$ norm of
    a function in terms of its parabolic $BMO$ norm, with the aid of the square
    root of the logarithmic dependency of a higher order Sobolev norm. The proof is
    mainly based on the Littlewood-Paley decomposition and a characterization of
    parabolic $BMO$ spaces.

  540. A comprehensive connection between the basic results and properties derived from two kinds of topologies for a random locally convex module.

    Authors: Tiexin Guo
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    The purpose of this paper is to make a comprehensive connection between the
    basic results and properties derived from the two kinds of topologies (namely
    the $(\epsilon,\lambda)-$topology introduced by the author and locally
    $L^{0}-$convex topology recently introduced by Filipovi$\acute{c}$ et. al) for
    a random locally convex module. First, we give an extremely simple proof of the
    known Hahn-Banach extension theorem of $L^{0}-$linear functions as well as its
    continuous variants. Then we give the essential relations between the
    hyperplane separation theorems in [Filipovi$\acute{c}$ et.
