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.

Characteristic numbers of non‐autonomous emden‐fowler type equations

2006

We consider the Emden‐Fowler equation x” = ‐q(t)|x|2εx, ε > 0, in the interval [a,b]. The coefficient q(t) is a positive valued continuous function. The Nehari characteristic number An associated with the Emden‐Fowler equation coincides with a minimal value of the functional [] over all solutions of the boundary value problem x” = ‐q(t)|x|2εx, x(a) = x(b) = 0, x(t) has exactly (n ‐ 1) zeros in (a, b). The respective solution is called the Nehari solution. We construct an example which shows that the Nehari extremal problem may have more than one solution. First Published Online: 14 Oct 2010

Symmetric frames on Lorentzian spaces

1991

Symmetric frames (those whose vectors are metrically indistinguishable) are studied both, from the algebraic and differential points of view. Symmetric frames which, in addition, remain indistinguishable for a given set of concomitants of the metric are analyzed, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for a space‐time to admit them are given. A new version of the cosmological principle then follows. Natural symmetric frames (induced by local charts) are also considered, and the space‐times admitting them are obtained.

Immersions of compact riemannian manifolds into a ball of a complex space form

1997

There are some classical theorems on non-immersibility of compact riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature bounded from above given by Tompkins, O’Neill, Chern, Kuiper and Moore (see [3], pages 221-226). More recently, attention has been paid to the case of immersions into a geodesic ball of a simply connected space form, and some conditions of non-immersibility in such a ball have been proved. In particular, estimates for the mean curvature of a complete immersion into a geodesic ball have been obtained by Jorge and Xavier [11] and a corresponding rigidity theorem for compact hypersurfaces has been proved by Markvorsen [14]. In this paper we give the Kahler analogs of the theorems of …

Singularities of rational Bézier curves

2001

We prove that if an nth degree rational Bezier curve has a singular point, then it belongs to the two (n − 1)th degree rational Bezier curves defined in the (n − 1)th step of the de Casteljau algorithm. Moreover, both curves are tangent at the singular point. A procedure to construct Bezier curves with singularities of any order is given.  2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

On a time-depending Monge-Ampère type equation

2012

Abstract In this paper, we prove a comparison result between a solution u ( x , t ) , x ∈ Ω ⊂ R 2 , t ∈ ( 0 , T ) , of a time depending equation involving the Monge–Ampere operator in the plane and the solution of a conveniently symmetrized parabolic equation. To this aim, we prove a derivation formula for the integral of a smooth function g ( x , t ) over sublevel sets of u , { x ∈ Ω : u ( x , t ) ϑ } , ϑ ∈ R , having the same perimeter in R 2 .

On the problem of regularity in the Sobolev space Wloc1,n

2009

Abstract We prove that a variant of the Hencl's notion of A C λ n -mapping (see [S. Hencl, On the notions of absolute continuity for functions of several variables, Fund. Math. 173 (2002) 175–189]), in which λ is not a constant, produces a new solution to the problem of regularity in the Sobolev space W loc 1 , n .

Star calculus on Jacobi manifolds

2002

Abstract We study the Gerstenhaber bracket on differential forms induced by the two main examples of Jacobi manifolds: contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds. Moreover, we obtain explicit expressions of the generating operators and the derivations on the algebra of multivector fields. We define star operators for contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds and we study some of its properties.

Total curvatures of compact complex submanifolds in $$C/P^n$$

1995

LetM be a complex submanifold in\(C/P^n\). We define the total curvatures ofM and we get a local interpretation of them. Finally, we give a topological characterization for the total (non-absolute) curvature of complex hypersurfaces in\(C/P^n\).
