We show that there are functions $f$ in the H\"older class $C^{ { \alpha }}[0,1]$, $1< { \alpha }<2$ such that $f|_{A}$ is not convex, nor concave for any $A { \subset } [0,1]$ with $ { \bar { dim }_M } A> { \alpha }-1$. Our earlier result…

We study two questions. When does a function belong to the union of Lebesgue spaces and when does a function have an $A_1$ majorant? We show these questions are fundamentally related. For functions restricted to a fixed cube we prove that…

We say that a function $f:[0,1]\rightarrow \R$ is \emph{nowhere $L^q$} if, for each nonvoid open subset $U$ of $[0,1]$, the restriction $f|_U$ is not in $L^q(U)$. For a fixed $1 \leq p <\infty$, we will show that the set $$ S_p\doteq {f \in…

We establish a sub-convexity estimate for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions in the combined level aspect, using the circle method. If $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers, $f$ and $g$ are non-exceptional newforms (modular or Maass) for the…

Let $M$ denote the centered Hardy--Littlewood operator on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that \[ {\rm Var} (Mf)\le {\rm Var} (f) - \frac12\big| |f(\infty)|-|f(-\infty)|\big| \] for piecewise constant functions $f$ with nonzero and zero values…

Let $H^{(u)}$ be the Hilbert transform along the parabola $(t, ut^2)$ where $u\in \mathbb R$. For a set $U$ of positive numbers consider the maximal function $\mathcal{H}^U \!f= \sup\{|H^{(u)}\! f|: u\in U\}$. We obtain an (essentially)…

For any dimension $n \geq 2$, we consider the maximal directional Hilbert transform $\mathscr{H}_U$ on $\mathbb R^n$ associated with a direction set $U \subseteq \mathbb S^{n-1}$: \[ \mathscr{H}_Uf(x) := \frac{1}{\pi} \sup_{v \in U} \Bigl|…

Let $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ be a measure space and $1< p < +\infty$. In this paper we show that, under quite general conditions, the set $L_{p}(\Omega) - \bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(\Omega)$ is maximal spaceable, that is, it contains…

In 2003, Del Pino and Dolbeault [14] and Gentil [19] investigated, independently, best constants and extremals associated to Euclidean Lp-entropy inequalities for p > 1. In this work, we present some contributions in the Riemannian context.…

Let $L^p(\mathbf{T})$ be the Lesbegue space of complex-valued functions defined in the unit circle $\mathbf{T}=\{z: |z|=1\}\subseteq \mathbb{C}$. In this paper, we address the problem of finding the best constant in the inequality of the…

It is proved that there does not exist any non zero function in $L^p(\R^n)$ with $1\leq p\leq 2n/\alpha$ if its Fourier transform is supported by a set of finite packing $\alpha$-measure where $0<\alpha<n$. It is shown that the assertion…

If $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree at most $n$ which does not vanish in $|z| < 1$, it was recently formulated by Shah and Liman \cite[\textit{Integral estimates for the family of $B$-operators, Operators and Matrices,} \textbf{5}(2011), 79…

In this paper, we introduce a criterion for maximal operators associated with Fourier multipliers to be bounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$. Noteworthy examples satisfying the criterion are multipliers of the Mikhlin type or limited decay which…

The paper focuses on the $L^{p}$-Positivity Preservation property ($L^{p}$-PP for short) on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. It states that any $L^p$ function $u$ with $1<p<+\infty$, which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ on $M$ in the sense of…

Let $H^n\cong \Bbb R^{2n}\ltimes \Bbb R$ be the Heisenberg group and let $\mu_t$ be the normalized surface measure for the sphere of radius $t$ in $\Bbb R^{2n}$. Consider the maximal function defined by $Mf=\sup_{t>0} |f*\mu_t|$. We prove…

Let $\phi\in \mathscr{S}$ with $\int\phi (x)\, dx=1$, and define $$\phi_t(x)=\frac{1}{t^n}\phi (\frac{x}{t}),$$ and denote the function family $\{\phi_t\ast f(x)\}_{t>0}$ by $\Phi\ast f(x)$. Suppose that there exists a constant $C_1$ such…

We study the class of functions $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ satisfying a Lipschitz estimate in the Schatten ideal $\mathcal{L}_p$ for $0 < p \leq 1$. The corresponding problem with $p\geq 1$ has been extensively studied, but the quasi-Banach range…

This paper develops tests for inequality constraints of nonparametric regression functions. The test statistics involve a one-sided version of $L_p$-type functionals of kernel estimators $(1 \leq p < \infty)$. Drawing on the approach of…

In this paper we study properties of functions of triples of not necessarily commuting self-adjoint operators. The main result of the paper shows that unlike in the case of functions of pairs of self-adjoint operators there is no Lipschitz…

The operators $\Lambda_m$ ($m\in\mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$) arise when one studies the action of the Beurling-Ahlfors transform on certain radial function subspaces. It is known that the weak-type $(1,1)$ constant of $\Lambda_0$ is equal to…
