Title: Integral and Supremal Operators on Weighted Function Spaces Author: Martin Křepela Department: Department of Mathematical Analysis Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Luboš Pick, CSc., DSc., Department of Mathematical Analysis Abstract: The common topic of this thesis is boundedness of integral and supre- mal operators between function spaces with weights. The results of this work have the form of characterizations of validity of weighted operator inequalities for appropriate cones of functions. The outcome can be divided into three cate- gories according to the particular type of studied operators and function spaces. The first part involves a convolution operator acting on general weighted Lorentz spaces of types Λ, Γ and S defined in terms of the nonincreasing rear- rangement, Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and the difference of these two, respectively. It is characterized when a convolution-type operator with a fixed kernel is bounded between the aforementioned function spaces. Furthermore, weighted Young-type convolution inequalities are obtained and a certain optima- lity property of involved rearrangement-invariant domain spaces is proved. The additional provided information includes a comparison of the results to the pre- viously known ones and an overview of basic properties of some new function spaces...

The common topic of this thesis is boundedness of integral and supremal operators between weighted function spaces. The first type of results are characterizations of boundedness of a convolution-type operator between general weighted Lorentz spaces. Weighted Young-type convolution inequalities are obtained and an optimality property of involved domain spaces is proved. Additional provided information includes an overview of basic properties of some new function spaces appearing in the proven inequalities. In the next part, product-based bilinear and multilinear Hardy-type operators are investigated. It is characterized when a bilinear Hardy operator inequality holds either for all nonnegative or all nonnegative and nonincreasing functions on the real semiaxis. The proof technique is based on a reduction of the bilinear problems to linear ones to which known weighted inequalities are applicable. Further objects of study are iterated supremal and integral Hardy operators, a basic Hardy operator with a kernel and applications of these to more complicated weighted problems and embeddings of generalized Lorentz spaces. Several open problems related to missing cases of parameters are solved, thus completing the theory of the involved fundamental Hardy-type operators. / Operators acting on function spaces are classical subjects of study in functional analysis. This thesis contributes to the research on this topic, focusing particularly on integral and supremal operators and weighted function spaces. Proving boundedness conditions of a convolution-type operator between weighted Lorentz spaces is the first type of a problem investigated here. The results have a form of weighted Young-type convolution inequalities, addressing also optimality properties of involved domain spaces. In addition to that, the outcome includes an overview of basic properties of some new function spaces appearing in the proven inequalities.  Product-based bilinear and multilinear Hardy-type operators are another matter of focus. It is characterized when a bilinear Hardy operator inequality holds either for all nonnegative or all nonnegative and nonincreasing functions on the real semiaxis. The proof technique is based on a reduction of the bilinear problems to linear ones to which known weighted inequalities are applicable.  The last part of the presented work concerns iterated supremal and integral Hardy operators, a basic Hardy operator with a kernel and applications of these to more complicated weighted problems and embeddings of generalized Lorentz spaces. Several open problems related to missing cases of parameters are solved, completing the theory of the involved fundamental Hardy-type operators. / <p>Artikel 9 publicerad i avhandlingen som manuskript med samma titel.</p>

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The main part of this thesis, Chapter 4, contains results on the commutant of a semigroup of operators defined on the Hardy Space of the disk where the operators have hyperbolic non-automorphic symbols. In particular, we show in Chapter 5 that the commutant of the semigroup of operators is in one-to-one correspondence with a Banach algebra of bounded analytic functions on an open half-plane. This algebra of functions is a subalgebra of the standard Newton space. Chapter 4 extends previous work done on maps with interior fixed point to the case of the symbol of the composition operator having a boundary fixed point.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Invariant subspaces are a natural topic in linear algebra and operator theory. In some rare cases, the restrictions of operators to different invariant subspaces are unitarily equivalent, such as certain restrictions of the unilateral shift on the Hardy space of the disk. A composition operator with symbol fixing 0 has a nested sequence of invariant subspaces, and if the symbol is linear fractional and extremally noncompact, the restrictions to these subspaces all have the same norm and spectrum. Despite this evidence, we will use semigroup techniques to show many cases where the restrictions are still not unitarily equivalent.

In this thesis we derive various generalizations and refinements of some classical inequalities in different function spaces. We consider some of the most important inequalities namely the Hardy, Pólya-Knopp, Jensen, Minkowski and Beckenbach-Dresher inequalities. The main focus is put on the Hardy and their limit Pólya-Knopp inequalities. Indeed, we derive such inequalities even in a general Banach functionsetting. The thesis consists of three papers (A, B and C) and an introduction, which put these papers into a more general frame. This introduction has also independent interest since it shortly describe the dramatic more than 100 years of development of Hardy-type inequalities. It contains both well-known and very new ideas and results. In paper A we prove and discuss some new Hardy-type inequalities in Banach function space settings. In particular, such a result is proved and applied for a new general Hardy operator, which is introduced in this paper (this operator generalizes the usualHardy kernel operator). These results generalize and unify several classical Hardy-type inequalities. In paper B we prove some new refined Hardy-type inequalities again in Banach function space settings. The used (super quadraticity) technique is also illustrated by making refinements of some generalized forms of the Jensen, Minkowski and Beckenbach-Dresher inequalities. These results both generalize and unify several results of this type. In paper C for the case 0&lt;p≤q&lt;∞ we prove some new Pólya-Knopp inequalities in two and higher dimensions with good two-sided estimates of the sharp constants. By using this result and complementary ideas it is also proved a new multidimensional weighted Pólya-Knopp inequality with sharp constant. / In this thesis we derive various generalizations and refinements of some classical inequalities in different function spaces.

A topological approach to nonlinear analysis allows for strikingly beautiful proofs and simplified calculations. This topological approach employs many of the ideas of continuous topology, including convergence, compactness, metrization, complete metric spaces, uniform spaces and function spaces. This thesis illustrates using the topological approach in proving the Cauchy-Peano Existence theorem. The topological proof utilizes the ideas of complete metric spaces, Ascoli-Arzela theorem, topological properties in Euclidean n-space and normed linear spaces, and the extension of Brouwer's fixed point theorem to Schauder's fixed point theorem, and Picard's theorem.

This thesis is an account of our study of two branches of dynamical systems theory, namely the mean and pointwise ergodic theory. In our work on mean ergodic theorems, we investigate the spectral theory of integrable actions of a locally compact abelian group on a locally convex vector space. We start with an analysis of various spectral subspaces induced by the action of the group. This is applied to analyse the spectral theory of operators on the space generated by measures on the group. We apply these results to derive general Tauberian theorems that apply to arbitrary locally compact abelian groups acting on a large class of locally convex vector spaces which includes Fr echet spaces. We show how these theorems simplify the derivation of Mean Ergodic theorems. Next we turn to the topic of pointwise ergodic theorems. We analyse the Transfer Principle, which is used to generate weak type maximal inequalities for ergodic operators, and extend it to the general case of -compact locally compact Hausdor groups acting measure-preservingly on - nite measure spaces. We show how the techniques developed here generate various weak type maximal inequalities on di erent Banach function spaces, and how the properties of these function spaces in- uence the weak type inequalities that can be obtained. Finally, we demonstrate how the techniques developed imply almost sure pointwise convergence of a wide class of ergodic averages. Our investigations of these two parts of ergodic theory are uni ed by the techniques used - locally convex vector spaces, harmonic analysis, measure theory - and by the strong interaction of the nal results, which are obtained in greater generality than hitherto achieved. / PhD (Mathematics), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

In this manuscript we study the action of one-dimensional integral operators on rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces. Our principal goal is to characterize optimal target and optimal domain spaces corresponding to given spaces within the category of rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces as well as to establish pointwise estimates of the non-increasing rearrangement of a given operator applied on a given function. We apply these general results to proving optimality relations between special rearrangement-invariant spaces. We pay special attention to the Laplace transform, which is a pivotal example of the operators in question. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
