Boundedness Results for Operators with Singular Kernels on Distribution Spaces


Book Description

In this monograph, the author generalizes the T1 theorem of G. David and J.-L. Journé to the context of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, which include most of the function and distribution spaces of importance in classical analysis. M. Frazier and B. Jawerth have shown that these spaces admit decompositions in terms of certain fundamental building blocks, known as "smooth atoms'' and "smooth molecules''. In the author's words, "to prove that an operator is bounded on a Triebel-Lizorkin space, it is enough to show that it maps every family of smooth atoms into a family of smooth molecules''. The same basic techniques can be used to study operators between two different Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. Results are obtained for a wide variety of operators acting on the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, including generalized Calderón-Zygmund operators and their derivatives; potential operators; fractional integral operators; and the Hörmander classes of pseudodifferential operators. When these general results are restricted to specific spaces, many classical boundedness results are recovered.




Boundedness Results for Operators with Singular Kernels on Distribution Spaces


Book Description

Discrete decomposition techniques for spaces for functions or distributions are very useful tools for studying many problems in analysis. In this work, the author uses this type of decomposition, associated with the so-called *p-transform and wavelet-transform theories, to analyse a large class of operators, including pseudodifferential operators, Calderon-Zygmund operators, and other operators with singular kernels. The methods used combine Littlewood-Paley type characterizations of spaces of distributions with certain atomic and molecular decompositions. In this way, the study of operators on most of the classical function spaces - such as Hardy spaces, Besov-Lipschitz spaces, and Sobolev spaces - can be accomplished in a unified manner. The book is written in an expository style that makes it suitable for advanced graduate students in analysis.




Lectures on Singular Integral Operators


Book Description

This book represents an expanded account of lectures delivered at the NSF-CBMS Regional Conference on Singular Integral Operators, held at the University of Montana in the summer of 1989. The lectures are concerned principally with developments in the subject related to the Cauchy integral on Lipschitz curves and the T(1) theorem. The emphasis is on real-variable techniques, with a discussion of analytic capacity in one complex variable included as an application. The author has presented here a synthesized exposition of a body of results and techniques. Much of the book is introductory in character and intended to be accessible to the nonexpert, but a variety of readers should find the book useful.







Theory and Applications of Differentiable Functions of Several Variables


Book Description

This book explores various topical trends in the theory of differentiable functions of several real variables and its applications. Among the subjects covered are: imbedding of various spaces of differentiable functions defined on sets in Euclidean space, on a sphere, and in a polydisc; approximation of functions; estimates for the norms of various integral operators in weighted space; conditions for stabilization of a function to a polynomial; sufficient conditions for multipliers; construction of unconditional bases in anisotropic spaces; existence of entire solutions for quasilinear equations; and establishment of an asymptotic formula for the kernels of powers of the resolvent of elliptic operators.




A Generalization of Riemann Mappings and Geometric Structures on a Space of Domains in C$^n$


Book Description

Similar in philosophy to the study of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, the central theme of this book is that spaces of (pseudoconvex) domains should admit geometrical structures that reflect the complex geometry of the underlying domains in a natural way. With its unusual geometric perspective of some topics in several complex variables, this book appeals to those who view much of mathematics in broadly geometrical terms.




Modern Fourier Analysis


Book Description

The great response to the publication of the book Classical and Modern Fourier Analysishasbeenverygratifying.IamdelightedthatSpringerhasofferedtopublish the second edition of this book in two volumes: Classical Fourier Analysis, 2nd Edition, and Modern Fourier Analysis, 2nd Edition. These volumes are mainly addressed to graduate students who wish to study Fourier analysis. This second volume is intended to serve as a text for a seco- semester course in the subject. It is designed to be a continuation of the rst v- ume. Chapters 1–5 in the rst volume contain Lebesgue spaces, Lorentz spaces and interpolation, maximal functions, Fourier transforms and distributions, an introd- tion to Fourier analysis on the n-torus, singular integrals of convolution type, and Littlewood–Paley theory. Armed with the knowledgeof this material, in this volume,the reader encounters more advanced topics in Fourier analysis whose development has led to important theorems. These theorems are proved in great detail and their proofs are organized to present the ow of ideas. The exercises at the end of each section enrich the material of the corresponding section and provide an opportunity to develop ad- tional intuition and deeper comprehension. The historical notes in each chapter are intended to provide an account of past research but also to suggest directions for further investigation. The auxiliary results referred to the appendix can be located in the rst volume.




Wavelet Theory


Book Description

Wavelet theory lies on the crossroad of pure and computational mathematics, with connections to audio and video signal processing, data compression, and information transmission. The present book is devoted to a systematic exposition of modern wavelet theory. It details the construction of orthogonal and biorthogonal systems of wavelets and studies their structural and approximation properties, starting with basic theory and ending with special topics and problems. The book also presents some applications of wavelets. Historical commentary is supplied for each chapter in the book, and most chapters contain exercises. The book is intended for professional mathematicians and graduate students working in functional analysis and approximation theory. It is also useful for engineers applying wavelet theory in their work. Prerequisites for reading the book consist of graduate courses in real and functional analysis.




The Structure of Functions


Book Description

This book deals with the constructive Weierstrassian approach to the theory of function spaces and various applications. The first chapter is devoted to a detailed study of quarkonial (subatomic) decompositions of functions and distributions on euclidean spaces, domains, manifolds and fractals. This approach combines the advantages of atomic and wavelet representations. It paves the way to sharp inequalities and embeddings in function spaces, spectral theory of fractal elliptic operators, and a regularity theory of some semi-linear equations. The book is self-contained, although some parts may be considered as a continuation of the author's book Fractals and Spectra. It is directed to mathematicians and (theoretical) physicists interested in the topics indicated and, in particular, how they are interrelated. - - - The book under review can be regarded as a continuation of [his book on "Fractals and spectra", 1997] (...) There are many sections named: comments, preparations, motivations, discussions and so on. These parts of the book seem to be very interesting and valuable. They help the reader to deal with the main course. (Mathematical Reviews)
