We define a capacity C on abstract Wiener spaces and prove that, for any u with bounded variation, the total variation measure |Du| is absolutely continuous with respect to C: this enables us to extend the usual rules of calculus in many…

Here, question raised by Borwein and Yao has been settled by establishing that the sum of two maximal monotone operators A and B is maximal monotone with the condition that A is of type (FPV) and satisfies Rockafellar's constraints…

We show that the symmetrized product $AB+BA$ of two positive operators $A$ and $B$ is positive if and only if $f(A+B)\leq f(A)+f(B)$ for all non-negative operator monotone functions $f$ on $[0,\infty)$ and deduce an operator inequality. We…

We study properties of $W_0^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}_+,t^\beta)$ - the completion of $C_0^\infty(\mathbb{R}_+)$ in the power-weighted Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}_+,t^\beta)$, where $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$. Among other results, we obtain the…

For $p \in (1,N)$ and $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$ open, the Beppo-Levi space $\mathcal{D}^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$ is the completion of $C_c^{\infty}(\Omega)$ with respect to the norm $\left( \int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^p \right)^ \frac{1}{p}.$…

We study maximal monotone operators $A : X \rightrightarrows X^*$ whose Fitzpatrick family reduces to a singleton; such operators will be called uniquely representable. We show that every such operator is cyclically monotone (hence,…

Let $A$ and $B$ be compact operators over a topological space $X$ and suppose that these operators are normal and have same distinct eigenvalues at each point. By obstruction theory, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for $A$…

Let $\mu_p(A,B,t)=(tA^p+(1-t)B^p)^{1/p}$ denote the weighted power mean between positive operators $A$ and $B$. We show that the function $t\to \|A-\mu_p(A,B,t)\|_2$ is monotonically decreasing whenever $1/2 \leq p \leq 1$. Hence showing…

Let $(E,\mathcal E,\mu)$ be a measure space and $G\colon E\times E\to [0,\infty]$ be measurable. Moreover, let $\mathcal F\!_{ui}$ denote the set of all $q\in\mathcal E^+$ (measurable numerical functions $q\ge 0$ on $E$) such that…

We work in set-theory without choice ZF. Denoting by AC(N) the countable axiom of choice, we show in ZF+AC(N) that the closed unit ball of a uniformly convex Banach space is compact in the convex topology (an alternative to the weak…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…

In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we study strict subsets, i.e. sets whose variational capacity with respect to a larger reference set is finite, in the case $p=1$.…

In this paper we study some questions about the continuity of classical and fractional maximal operators in the Sobolev space $W^{1,1}$, in both continuous and discrete setting, giving a positive answer to two questions posed recently, one…

Motivated by a problem on comonotone approximation of $C^n$ functions by entire functions, for increasing functions $f\colon[0,1]\to[0,1]$, we characterize the possible values of $(a,b,c)$, where $a=I(f)(1)$, $b=I^2(f)(1)$, $c=I^3(f)(1)$…
