The Besov class $B_{pq}^s$ is defined by ${ f : { 2^{|n|s}||W_n*f||_p } _{ninmathbb{Z}}in ell^q(mathbb{Z}) }$. When $s=1$, $p=q $, we know if $f in B_p$ if and only if $int_mathbb{D} |f^{(n)}(z)|^p(1-|z|^2)^{2pn-2}dv(z) <+infty$. It is shown in [5] that $int_{mathbb{D}}|f^{'}(z)|^q K(z,z)^{1-q}dv(z)= O(L(b(e^{-(q-p)^{-1}})))$ if $f in B_{L,p}$. In this paper we will show that $f in B_{L,p}$ if and only if $sum_{n=0}^{infty}2^{nq}||W_n*f||_p^q = O(L(b(e^{-(q-p)^{-1}})))$.

We look at the mixed boundary value problem for elliptic operators in a bounded C1,1(ℝn) domain. The boundary is decomposed into disjoint parts, D and N, with Dirichlet and Neumann data, respectively. Expanding on work done by Ott and Brown, we find a larger range of values of p, 1 < p < n/(n-1), for which the Lp mixed problem has a unique solution with the non-tangential maximal function of the gradient in Lp(∂Ω).

This thesis consists of an introduction and a summary, followed by two papers, both of them on the topic of function spaces on fractals. Paper I: Andreas Brodin, Pointwise Convergence of Haar type Wavelets on Self-Similar Sets, Manuscript. Paper II: Andreas Brodin, Regularization of Wavelet Expansion characterizes Besov Spaces on Fractals, Manuscript. Properties of wavelets, originally constructed by A. Jonsson, are studied in both papers. The wavelets are piecewise polynomial functions on self-similar fractal sets. In Paper I, pointwise convergence of partial sums of the wavelet expansion is investigated. On a specific fractal set, the Sierpinski gasket, pointwise convergence of the partial sums is shown by calculating the kernel explicitly, when the wavelets are piecewise constant functions. For more general self-similar fractals, pointwise convergence of the partial sums and their derivatives, in case the expanded function has higher regularity, is shown using a different technique based on Markov's inequality. A. Jonsson has shown that on a class of totally disconnected self-similar sets it is possible to characterize Besov spaces by means of the magnitude of the coefficients in the wavelet expansion of a function. M. Bodin has extended his results to a class of graph directed self-similar sets introduced by Mauldin and Williams. Unfortunately, these results only holds for fractals such that the sets in the first generation of the fractal are disjoint. In Paper II we are able to characterize Besov spaces on a class of fractals not necessarily sharing this condition by making the wavelet expansion smooth. We create continuous regularizations of the partial sums of the wavelet expansion and show that properties of these regularizations can be used to characterize Besov spaces.

The Boussinesq approximation is a set of fluids equations utilized in the atmospheric and oceanographic sciences. They may be thought of as inhomogeneous, incompressible Euler or Navier-Stokes equations, where the inhomogeneous term is a scalar quantity, typically representing density or temperature, governed by a convection-diffusion equation. In this thesis, we prove local-in-time existence and uniqueness of an inviscid Boussinesq system. Furthermore, we show that under stronger assumptions, the local-in-time results can be extended to global-in-time existence and uniqueness as well. We assume the density equation contains nonzero diffusion and that our initial vorticity and density belong to a space of borderline Besov-type. We use paradifferential calculus and properties of the Besov-type spaces to control the growth of vorticity via an a priori estimate on the growth of density. This result is motivated by work of M. Vishik demonstrating local-in-time existence and uniqueness for 2D Euler equations in borderline Besov-type spaces, and by work of R. Danchin and M. Paicu showing the global well-posedness of the 2D Boussinesq system with initial data in critical Besov and Lp-spaces. / text
