2010

The authors consider for a bounded subset H of a Banach space E the De Blasi measure of weak noncompactness w(H) and the measure of weak noncompactness g(H) based on Grothendieck’s double limit criterion. They also deal with the quantitative characteristics k(H) and ck(H) which represent, respectively, the worst distance to E of the weak*-closure of H in the bidual of E and the worst distance to E of the sets of weak*-cluster points in the bidual of E of sequences in H. The authors prove the following chain of inequalities ck(H) < = k(H) < = g(H) < = 2ck(H) < = 2k(H) < = 2w(H), which, in particular, shows that ck, k and g are equivalent. The authors show that ck = k in the class of Banach s…

MR2543732 (2010g:46038) Colao, Vittorio; Trombetta, Alessandro; Trombetta, Giulio Hausdorff norms of retractions in Banach spaces of continuous funct…

2009

A retraction $R$ from the closed unit ball of a Banach space $X$ onto its boundary is called $k$-ball contractive if there is $k \ge 0$ such that $ \gamma_X(RA) \le k \gamma_X(A) $ for each subset $ A$ of the closed unit ball, where $\gamma_X$ denote the Hausdorff (ball) measure of noncompactness. In the paper under review the authors consider the problem of evaluating the Wo\'{s}ko constant, which is the infimum of all numbers $k$'s for which there is a $k$-ball contractive retraction from the closed unit ball onto the sphere, in Banach spaces of real continuous functions defined on domains which are not necessarily bounded or finite dimensional. The paper extends some previous results val…

A PDE model for the spatial dynamics of a voles population structured in age

2020

Abstract We prove existence and stability of entropy weak solutions for a macroscopic PDE model for the spatial dynamics of a population of voles structured in age. The model consists of a scalar PDE depending on time, t , age, a , and space x = ( x 1 , x 2 ) , supplemented with a non-local boundary condition at a = 0 . The flux is linear with constant coefficient in the age direction but contains a non-local term in the space directions. Also, the equation contains a term of second order in the space variables only. Existence of solutions is established by compensated compactness, see Panov (2009), and we prove stability by a doubling of variables type argument.

The forgotten mathematical legacy of Peano

2019

International audience; The formulations that Peano gave to many mathematical notions at the end of the 19th century were so perfect and modern that they have become standard today. A formal language of logic that he created, enabled him to perceive mathematics with great precision and depth. He described mathematics axiomatically basing the reasoning exclusively on logical and set-theoretical primitive terms and properties, which was revolutionary at that time. Yet, numerous Peano’s contributions remain either unremembered or underestimated.

Invariant density and time asymptotics for collisionless kinetic equations with partly diffuse boundary operators

2018

This paper deals with collisionless transport equationsin bounded open domains $\Omega \subset \R^{d}$ $(d\geq 2)$ with $\mathcal{C}^{1}$ boundary $\partial \Omega $, orthogonallyinvariant velocity measure $\bm{m}(\d v)$ with support $V\subset \R^{d}$ and stochastic partly diffuse boundary operators $\mathsf{H}$ relating the outgoing andincoming fluxes. Under very general conditions, such equations are governedby stochastic $C_{0}$-semigroups $\left( U_{\mathsf{H}}(t)\right) _{t\geq 0}$ on $%L^{1}(\Omega \times V,\d x \otimes \bm{m}(\d v)).$ We give a general criterion of irreducibility of $%\left( U_{\mathsf{H}}(t)\right) _{t\geq 0}$ and we show that, under very natural assumptions, if an …

The class of F-contraction mappings with a measure of noncompactness

2017

In this chapter we review a class of contraction conditions, which are largely used to obtain interesting generalizations of the Banach fixed-point theorem in various abstract settings. We also present a new fixed-point existence result obtained by considering such a kind of contraction condition and a measure of noncompactness. Moreover, we show the applicability of these results in the theory of functional equations.

Radó–Kneser–Choquet theorem

2014

We present a new approach to the celebrated theorem of Rado–Kneser–Choquet (RKC) on univalence of planar harmonic mappings. The novelty lies in establishing a continuous path (isotopy) from the given harmonic map to a conformal one. Along this path the mappings retain positive Jacobian determinant by virtue of so-called Minimum Principle. These ideas extend to nonlinear uncoupled systems of partial differential equations, as in Iwaniec, Koski and Onninen [‘Isotropic p-harmonic systems in 2D, Jacobian estimates and univalent solutions’, Rev. Mat. Iberoam, to appear]. Unfortunately, details of such digression would lead us too far afield. Nonetheless, one gains (in particular) the RKC-Theorem…

On compactness of the difference of composition operators

2004

Abstract Let φ and ψ be analytic self-maps of the unit disc, and denote by C φ and C ψ the induced composition operators. The compactness and weak compactness of the difference T = C φ − C ψ are studied on H p spaces of the unit disc and L p spaces of the unit circle. It is shown that the compactness of T on H p is independent of p ∈[1,∞). The compactness of T on L 1 and M (the space of complex measures) is characterized, and examples of φ and ψ are constructed such that T is compact on H 1 but non-compact on L 1 . Other given results deal with L ∞ , weakly compact counterparts of the previous results, and a conjecture of J.E. Shapiro.
