We study a semigroup $\phi$ of linear operators acting on a Banach space $X$ which satisfies the condition $\codim X_0<\infty$, where $X_0=\{x\in X \mid \phi_t(x)\underset{t\to\infty}\longrightarrow 0\}.$ We show that $X_0$ is closed under…

We study properties of continuous semi-homogeneous operators of degree $k$ via various functions (e.g. measures of noncompactness) on all bounded subsets of a Banach space. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for these functions to…

In this paper we study second order non-linear periodic systems driven by the ordinary vector $p$-Laplacian with a non-smooth, locally Lipschitz potential function. Our approach is variational and it is based on the non-smooth critical…

The classical criterion for compactness in Banach spaces of functions can be reformulated into a simple tightness condition in the time-frequency domain. This description preserves more explicitly the symmetry between time and frequency…

A classical result due to Paley and Wiener characterizes the existence of a non-zero function in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, supported on a half line, in terms of the decay of its Fourier transform. In this paper we prove an analogue of this result…

We introduce a proximal subdifferential and develop a calculus for nonsmooth functions defined on any Riemannian manifold $M$. We give several applications of this theory, concerning: 1) differentiability and geometrical properties of the…

Let \(\mathcal{G}\) be a non-empty subset of the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^m\) (\(m \geq 1\)). This work is dedicated to further exploring the properties of \(\mathcal{G}\)-multi-almost automorphic functions defined on \(\mathbb{R}^m\)…

We prove two theorems about differentiable functions on the Banach space C(K), where K is compact. (i) If C(K) admits a non-trivial function of class C^m and of bounded support, then all continuous real-valued functions on C(K) may be…

In this paper, we establish some results about the singular points of certain non-monotone potential operators. Here is a sample: If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional reflexive real Banach space and if $T:X\to X^*$ is a non-monotone, closed,…

A continuous action of a group G on a compact metric space has sensitive dependence on initial conditions if there is a number e>0 such that for any open set U we can find g in G such that g.U has diameter greater than e. We prove that if a…

The purpose of this paper is devoted to studying representation of measures of non generalized compactness, in particular, measures of noncompactness, of non-weak compactness, and of non-super weak compactness, etc, defined on Banach spaces…

Recently the first author studied the bifurcation of critical points of families of functionals on a Hilbert space, which are parametrised by a compact and orientable manifold having a non-vanishing first integral cohomology group. We…

In this paper we focus on the relation between Riemann integrability and weak continuity. A Banach space $X$ is said to have the weak Lebesgue property if every Riemann integrable function from $[0,1]$ into $X$ is weakly continuous almost…

This text takes, with more details and simplifying a proof in section 3, the parts of [Laf08] and [Laf09] treating p-adic groups. We prove that $SL_{3}$ over a non archimedian local field $F$ has strong Banach property (T). The applications…

In this paper, we obtain a minimax theorem by means of which, in turn, we prove the following result: Let $E$ be an infinite-dimensional reflexive real Banach space, $T:E\to E$ a non-zero compact linear operator, $\varphi:E\to {\bf R}$ a…

We consider critical points of a class of functionals on compact four-dimensional manifolds arising from Regularized Determinants for conformally covariant operators, whose explicit form was derived in [10], extending Polyakov's formula.…

We provide an empirical process theory for locally stationary processes over nonsmooth function classes. An important novelty over other approaches is the use of the flexible functional dependence measure to quantify dependence. A…

In the present note we introduce tame functionals on Banach algebras. A functional $f \in A^*$ on a Banach algebra $A$ is tame if the naturally defined linear operator $A \to A^*, a \mapsto f \cdot a$ factors through Rosenthal Banach spaces…

This paper is devoted to studying non-commensurate fractional order planar systems. Our contributions are to derive sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of non-trivial solutions to fractional-order inhomogeneous linear planar…

On a smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, we prove a positive mass theorem for metrics which are only continuous across a compact hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a positive mass theorem on…
