In this paper, exhaustivity, continuity, and strong additivity are studied in the setting of topological Riesz spaces. Of particular interest is the link between strong additivity and exhaustive elements of Dedekind s-complete Banach lattices. There is a strong connection between the Diestel-Faires Theorem and the Meyer-Nieberg Lemma in this setting. Also, embedding properties of Banach lattices are linked to the notion of strong additivity. The Meyer-Nieberg Lemma is extended to the setting of topological Riesz spaces and uniform absolute continuity and uniformly exhaustive elements are studied in this setting. Counterexamples are provided to show that the Vitali-Hahn-Saks Theorem and the Brooks-Jewett Theorem cannot be extended to submeasures or to the setting of Banach lattices.

In 1909, F. Riesz succeeded in giving an integral represntation for continuous linear functionals on C[0,1]. Although other authors, notably Hadamard and Frechet, had given representations for continuous linear functionals on C[0,1], their results lacked the clarity, elegance, and some of the substance (uniqueness) of Riesz's theorem. Subsequently, the integral representation of continuous linear functionals has been known as the Riesz Representation Theorem. In this paper, three different proofs of the Riesz Representation Theorem are presented. The first approach uses the denseness of the Bernstein polynomials in C[0,1] along with results of Helly to write the continuous linear functionals as Stieltjes integrals. The second approach makes use of the Hahn-Banach Theorem in order to write the functional as an integral. The paper concludes with a detailed presentation of a Daniell integral development of the Riesz Representation Theorem.

Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le domaine de l'analyse harmonique et plus exactement, des estimations à poids. Un intérêt particulier est porté aux estimations Lp à poids des transformées de Riesz sur des variétés Riemanniennes complètes ainsi qu'à l'optimalité des résultats en terme de la puissance de la caractéristique des poids. On obtient un premier résultat (en terme de la linéarité et de la non dépendance de la dimension) sur des espaces pas nécessairement de type homogène, lorsque p = 2 et la courbure de Bakry-Emery est positive. On utilise pour cela une approche analytique en exhibant une fonction de Bellman concrète. Puis, en utilisant des techniques stochastiques et une domination éparse, on démontre que les transformées de Riesz sont bornées sur Lp, pour p ∈ (1, +∞) et on déduit également le résultat précèdent. Enfin, on utilise un changement élégant dans la preuve précèdente pour affaiblir l'hypothèse sur la courbure et la supposer minorée. / The topics addressed in this thesis lie in the field of harmonic analysis and more pre- cisely, weighted inequalities. Our main interests are the weighted Lp-bounds of the Riesz transforms on complete Riemannian manifolds and the sharpness of the bounds in terms of the power of the characteristic of the weights. We first obtain a linear and dimensionless result on non necessarily homogeneous spaces, when p = 2 and the Bakry-Emery curvature is non-negative. We use here an analytical approach by exhibiting a concrete Bellman function. Next, using stochastic techniques and sparse domination, we prove that the Riesz transforms are Lp-bounded for p ∈ (1, +∞) and obtain the previous result for free. Finally, we use an elegant change in the precedent proof to weaken the condition on the curvature and assume it is bounded from below.

Ce travail met en jeu plusieurs systèmes dynamiques sur des tores en dimension finie, pour lesquels on sait établir des théorèmes limites, qui permettent de préciser leur comportement stochastique. On généralise d'abord le théorème limite local usuel sur un sous-shift de type fini, en ajoutant un terme de perturbation, en reprenant la preuve classique, par des techniques d'opérateurs. On en déduit un théorème limite local pour les sommes de « Riesz-Raïkov unitaires étendues », et des observables höldériennes. Pour cela, on reprend une méthode employée par Bernard Petit, en utilisant des codages symboliques, et le théorème limite local avec perturbation. Puis, on présente plusieurs situations de composées d'automorphismes hyperboliques du tore en dimension deux pour lesquelles on sait établir un théorème limite central quelque soit le choix de la composée. En particulier, on aborde le cas des matrices à coefficients entiers positifs.

In this thesis, we investigate Riesz bases of wavelets and their applications to numerical solutions of elliptic equations. Compared with the finite difference and finite element methods, the wavelet method for solving elliptic equations is relatively young but powerful. In the wavelet Galerkin method, the efficiency of the numerical schemes is directly determined by the properties of the wavelet bases. Hence, the construction of Riesz bases of wavelets is crucial. We propose different ways to construct wavelet bases whose stability in Sobolev spaces is then established. An advantage of our approaches is their far superior simplicity over many other known constructions. As a result, the corresponding numerical schemes are easily implemented and efficient. We apply these wavelet bases to solve some important elliptic equations in physics and show their effectiveness numerically. Multilevel algorithm based on preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm is also developed to significantly improve the numerical performance. Numerical results and comparison with other existing methods are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the wavelet Galerkin method we propose. / Mathematics

São calculadas as bandas de energia, as funções de Bloch e as funções de Wannier, para a equação de Schrödinger fracionária com derivada de Riesz. É apresentado um estudo detalhado do caráter não local desse tipo de derivada fracionária. Resolve-se a equação de Schrödinger fracionária para o modelo de Kronig-Penney e estuda-se os efeitos da ordem da derivada e da intensidade do potencial. Verificou-se que, ao passar da derivada de segunda ordem para derivadas fracionárias, o comportamento assintótico das funções de Wannier muda apreciavelmente. Elas perdem o decaimento exponencial, e exibem um decaimento acentuado em forma de potência. Fórmulas simples foram dadas para as caudas das funções de Wannier. A banda de energia mais baixa mostrou-se estar relacionada ao estado ligado de um único poço quântico. Sua função de onda também apresentou decaimento em lei de potência. As bandas de energia superiores mudam de comportamento em função da intensidade do potencial. No caso inteiro, a largura de cada uma dessas bandas diminui. No caso fracionário, diminui inicialmente e depois volta a aumentar, aproximando-se de um valor infinito à medida que a intensidade do potencial tende ao infinito. O grau de localização das funções de Wannier, expresso pelo desvio padrão da posição, mostra um comportamento similar ao da largura das bandas de energia. ...

The energy bands, the Bloch and Wannier functions for the fractional Schr odinger equation with Riesz derivative are calculated. The non-locality of the Riesz fractional derivative is analyzed. The fractional Schr odinger equation is solved for the Kronig-Penney model and the e ects of the derivative order and the potential intensity are studied. It was shown that moving from the integer to the fractional order strongly a ects the asymptotic behavior of the Wannier functions. They lose the exponential decay, gaining a strong power-law decay. Simple formulas have been given for the tails of the Wannier functions. A close relatim between the lowest energy band and the bound state of a single quantum well was found. The wavefunction of the latter decays as a power law. Higher energy bands change their behavior as the periodic potential gets stronger. In the integer case, the width of each one of those bands decreases. In the fractional case, it initially decreases and then increases. The width approaching a nite value as the strength tends to in nity. The degree of localization of the Wannier functions, as expressed by the position standard deviation, behaves similarly to the width of the energy bands. In addition to perfect crystals, Materials Science studies defective crystals. Defects are responsible for many properties of technological int...

Ph.D. (Mathematics) / Our objective in this thesis is to investigate two fundamental questions concerning Riesz operators de ned on a Banach space. Recall that Riesz operators are generalizations of compact operators in the sense that Riesz operators have the same spectral properties as compact operators. However, they do not possess the same algebraic properties as compact operators. Our rst question that we investigate is: When is a Riesz operator a nite rank operator? This question is motivated from the fact that if a compact operator de ned on a Banach space has closed range, then it is a nite rank operator. Also, Ghahramani proved that a compact homomorphism de ned on a C -algebra is a nite rank operator, see . Martin Mathieu, in his paper, generalized the result of Ghahramani by proving that a weakly compact homomorphism de ned on a C -algebra is a nite rank operator...
