In this paper we prove an analogue of the discrete spherical maximal theorem of Magyar, Stein, and Wainger, an analogue which concerns maximal functions associated to homogenous algebraic surfaces. Let $\mathfrak{p}$ be a homogenous…

We exhibit a class of "relatively curved" $\vec{\gamma}(t) := (\gamma_1(t),\dots,\gamma_n(t))$, so that the pertaining multi-linear maximal function satisfies the sharp range of H\"{o}lder exponents, \[ \left\| \sup_{r > 0} \ \frac{1}{r}…

For $0 < \alpha \leq 1$, let $E$ be a compact subset of the $d$-dimensional moment curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that $N(E,\varepsilon) \lesssim \varepsilon^{-\alpha}$ for $0 <\varepsilon <1$ where $N(E,\varepsilon)$ is the smallest number…

We prove the existence of maximizers and the precompactness of $L^p$-normalized maximizing sequences modulo symmetries for all valid scale-invariant Fourier extension inequalities on the cone in $\mathbb R^{1+d}$. In the range for which…

Denote the coefficients in the complex form of the Fourier series of a function $f$ on the interval $[-\pi, \pi)$ by $\hat f(n)$. It is known that if $p = 2j/(2j-1)$ for some integer $j>0$, then for each function $f$ in $L^p$ there exists…

The adjoint Fourier restriction inequality of Tomas and Stein states that the mapping $f\mapsto \widehat{f\sigma}$ is bounded from $\lt(S^2)$ to $L^4(\reals^3)$. We prove that there exist functions which extremize this inequality, and that…

Avikainen showed that, for any $p,q \in [1,\infty)$, and any function $f$ of bounded variation in $\mathbb{R}$, it holds that $\mathbb{E}[|f(X)-f(\widehat{X})|^{q}] \leq C(p,q) \mathbb{E}[|X-\widehat{X}|^{p}]^{\frac{1}{p+1}}$, where $X$ is…

New sufficient conditions for representation of a function via the absolutely convergent Fourier integral are obtained in the paper. In the main result, Theorem 1.1, this is controlled by the behavior near infinity of both the function and…

In this paper it is proposed a very simple method for estimating the maximal operator in $L_1$. Using this method one can considerably improve the existing theorems on convergence almost-everywhere of eigenfunction expansions of an…

We study extremal properties of the function $$ F(x) := \min\{k\|x\|^{1-1/k}\colon k\ge 1\},\ x\in[0,1], $$ where $\|x\|=\min\{x,1-x\}$. In particular, we show that $F$ is the pointwise largest function of the class of all real-valued…

The focus of this article is the approximation of functions which are analytic on a compact interval except at the endpoints. Typical numerical methods for approximating such functions depend upon the use of particular conformal maps from…

Various new sufficient conditions for representation of a function of several variables as an absolutely convergent Fourier integral are obtained in the paper. The results are given in terms of $L^p$ integrability of the function and its…

Let $f$ be an entire almost periodic function with zeros in a horizontal strip of finite width; for example, any exponential polynomial with purely imaginary exponents is such a function. Let $\mu$ be the measure on the set of zeros of $f$…

In this note we find optimal one-sided majorants of exponential type for the signum function subject to certain monotonicity conditions. As an application, we use these special functions to obtain a simple Fourier analysis proof of the…

In this paper we consider the scale invariant shape functional $${\mathcal{F}}_{p,q}(\Omega)=\frac{\lambda_p^{1/p}(\Omega)}{\lambda_q^{1/q}(\Omega)},$$ where $1\le q<p\le+\infty$ and $\lambda_p(\Omega)$ (respectively $\lambda_q(\Omega)$) is…

We obtain extremal majorants and minorants of exponential type for a class of even functions on $\R$ which includes $\log |x|$ and $|x|^\alpha$, where $-1 < \alpha < 1$. We also give periodic versions of these results in which the majorants…

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…

We consider the problem of the maximum concentration in a fixed measurable subset $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{2d}$ of the time-frequency space for functions $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^{d})$. The notion of concentration can be made mathematically…

Let $A_tf(x)=\int f(x+ty)d\sigma(y)$ denote the spherical means in $\Bbb R^d$ ($d\sigma$ is surface measure on $S^{d-1}$, normalized to $1$). We prove sharp estimates for the maximal function $M_E f(x)=\sup_{t\in E}|A_tf(x)|$ where $E$ is a…
