We study some approximation problems on a strict subset of the circle by analytic functions of the Hardy space H2 of the unit disk (in C), whose modulus satisfy a pointwise constraint on the complentary part of the circle. Existence and…

In the Hardy spaces $H^1$ and $H^\infty$, there are neat and well-known characterizations of the extreme points of the unit ball. We obtain counterparts of these classical theorems when $H^1$ (resp., $H^\infty$) gets replaced by the…

We study the question of the existence of a dual extremal function for a bounded matrix function on the unit circle in connection with the problem of approximation by analytic matrix functions. We characterize the class of matrix functions,…

For a bounded function $\varphi$ on the unit circle $\mathbb T$, let $T_\varphi$ be the associated Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space $H^2$. Assume that the kernel $$K_2(\varphi):=\{f\in H^2:\,T_\varphi f=0\}$$ is nontrivial. Given a…

Given a subset $\Lambda$ of $\mathbb Z_+:=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$, let $H^\infty(\Lambda)$ denote the space of bounded analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk whose coefficients $\widehat f(k)$ vanish for $k\notin\Lambda$. Assuming that either…

For $0<p \leq \infty$, let $H^p$ denote the classical Hardy space of the unit disc. We consider the extremal problem of maximizing the modulus of the $k$th Taylor coefficient of a function $f \in H^p$ which satisfies $\|f\|_{H^p}\leq1$ and…

We look for pointwise bounds on a plurisubharmonic function near its singularity point, given the value of its generalized Lelong number with respect to a plurisubharmonic weight. To this end, an extremal problem is considered. In certain…

Our main goal is to investigate supercritical Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities with a logarithmic term and their corresponding variational problem. We prove the existence of extremal functions for the associated variational problem, despite…

We generalized the Korkin-Zolotarev theorem to the case of entire functions having the smallest $L^1$ norm on a system of intervals $E$. If $\bbC\setminus E$ is a domain of Widom type with the Direct Cauchy Theorem we give an explicit…

Let $E$ be a $W^{\ast}$-correspondence over a von Neumann algebra $M$ and let $H^{\infty}(E)$ be the associated Hardy algebra. If $\sigma$ is a faithful normal representation of $M$ on a Hilbert space $H$, then one may form the dual…

In this article, we establish the existence of an extremal function for the k-th order critical Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya (HSM) inequalities on the upper half space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_{+}$ when $k\ge 2$ and $n\geq 2k+2$:…

We study the maximum Hamming distance (or rather, the complementary notion of "minimum approximability") of a general function on a finite group $G$ to either of the sets $\operatorname{End}(G)$ and $\operatorname{Aff}(G)$, of group…

We study two variations of the classical one-delta problem for entire functions of exponential type, known also as the Carath\'eodory--Fej\'er--Tur\'an problem. The first variation imposes the additional requirement that the function is…

In this paper, we study an extremal problem concerning best approximation in the Hardy space $H^1$ on the unit disk $\mathbb D$. Specifically, we consider weighted combinations of the Cauchy-Szeg\"o kernel and its derivative, parametrized…

We establish fractional Hardy inequality on bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with inverse of distance function from smooth boundary of codimension $k$, where $k=2, \dots,d$, as weight function. The case $sp=k$ is the critical case, where…

A unifying framework for some extremal problems on locally compact Abelian groups is considered, special cases of which include the Delsarte and Tur\'an extremal problems. A slight variation of the extremal problem is introduced and the…

We solve a weakly singular integral equation by Laplace transformation over a finite interval of R. The equation is transformed into a Cauchy integral equation, whose resolution amounts to solving two Fredholm integral equations of the…

We prove that there exists an extremal function to the Airy Strichartz inequality, $e^{-t\partial_x^3}: L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^8_{t,x}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ by using the linear profile decomposition. Furthermore we show that, if $f$ is an…

Suppose $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$ is the tensor algebra of a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ and $H^{\infty}(E)$ is the associated Hardy algebra. We investigate the problem of extending completely contractive representations of $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$…

In this paper we find extremal one-sided approximations of exponential type for a class of truncated and odd functions with a certain exponential subordination. These approximations optimize the $L^1(\mathbb{R}, |E(x)|^{-2}dx)$-error, where…
