Elastic Deformation of Dispersely Failing Unidirectionally Reinforced Composites
2003
A phenomenological model is proposed for describing the elastic deformation of a unidirectionally reinforced composite capable of accumulating scattered microdamages during its loading. The composite is considered as a homogeneous transversely isotropic solid. Its damaged state at every point is characterized by a centrally symmetric scalar function on the unit sphere (the damage function), which is used to account for variations in the elastic properties of the material during its deformation. The damage itself depends on the history of some equivalent strain, for which four simplified variants are suggested. The relation between strains and stresses is defined in a differential form. Depe…
Min-max control of uncertain multi-inventory systems with multiplicative uncertainties
2001
In this note, we consider production-distribution systems with buffer and capacity constraints. For such systems, we assume that the model is not known exactly. More precisely, the entries of the matrix representing the system structure may be affine functions of some uncertain time-varying parameters that take values within assigned bounds. We give stabilizability conditions that can be checked, in principle, by solving a min-max problem on the surface of the state-space (buffer level space) unit ball. Then, we consider a special case in which each uncertain parameter affects a single column of the system matrix and is independent of all the other ones. In this case, we propose a mixed int…
Spectral rigidity and invariant distributions on Anosov surfaces
2014
This article considers inverse problems on closed Riemannian surfaces whose geodesic flow is Anosov. We prove spectral rigidity for any Anosov surface and injectivity of the geodesic ray transform on solenoidal 2-tensors. We also establish surjectivity results for the adjoint of the geodesic ray transform on solenoidal tensors. The surjectivity results are of independent interest and imply the existence of many geometric invariant distributions on the unit sphere bundle. In particular, we show that on any Anosov surface $(M,g)$, given a smooth function $f$ on $M$ there is a distribution in the Sobolev space $H^{-1}(SM)$ that is invariant under the geodesic flow and whose projection to $M$ i…
Almost square Banach spaces
2014
We single out and study a natural class of Banach spaces -- almost square Banach spaces. In an almost square space we can find, given a finite set $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_N$ in the unit sphere, a unit vector $y$ such that $\|x_i-y\|$ is almost one. These spaces have duals that are octahedral and finite convex combinations of slices of the unit ball of an almost square space have diameter 2. We provide several examples and characterizations of almost square spaces. We prove that non-reflexive spaces which are M-ideals in their biduals are almost square. We show that every separable space containing a copy of $c_0$ can be renormed to be almost square. A local and a weak version of almost square spa…
Some Non-linear Geometrical Properties of Banach Spaces
2014
In this survey we report on very recent results about some non-linear geometrical properties of many classes of real and complex Banach spaces and uniform algebras, including the ball algebra \(\fancyscript{A}_u(B_X)\) of all uniformly continuous functions on the closed unit ball and holomorphic on the open unit ball of a complex Banach space \(X\). These geometrical properties are: Polynomial numerical index, Polynomial Daugavet property and Bishop-Phelp-Bollobas property for multilinear mappings.
Banach spaces where convex combinations of relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball are relatively weakly open
2018
We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such spaces are established, and we introduce and discuss a geometric condition---property (co)---on a Banach space. Property (co) essentially says that the operation of taking convex combinations of elements of the unit ball is, in a sense, an open map. We show that if a finite dimensional Banach space $X$ has property (co), then for any scattered locally compact Hausdorff space $K$, the space $C_0(K,X)$ of continuous $X$-valued functions vanishing at infinity has…
Generalized Metric Spaces and Locally Uniformly Rotund Renormings
2009
A class of generalized metric spaces is a class of spaces defined by a property shared by all metric αspaces which is close to metrizability in some sense [Gru84]. The s-spaces are defined by replacing the base by network in the Bing-Nagata-Smirnov metrization theorem; i.e. a topological space is a αspace if it has a αdiscrete network. Here we shall deal with a further re- finement replacing discrete by isolated or slicely isolated. Indeed we will see that the identity map from a subset A of a normed space is A of a normedslicely continuous if, and only if, the weak topology relative to A has a s-slicely isolated network. If A is also a radial set then we have that the identity map Id : (X,…
Some Moduli and Constants Related to Metric Fixed Point Theory
2001
Indeed, there are a lot of quantitative descriptions of geometrical properties of Banach spaces. The most common way for creating these descriptions, is to define a real function (a “modulus” depending on the Banach space under consideration, and from this define a suitable constant or coefficient closely related to this function. The moduli and/or the constants are attempts to get a better understanding about two things: The shape of the unit ball of a space, and The hidden relations between weak and strong convergence of sequences.
Multilinear Fourier multipliers related to time–frequency localization
2013
We consider multilinear multipliers associated in a natural way with localization operators. Boundedness and compactness results are obtained. In particular, we get a geometric condition on a subset A⊂R2d which guarantees that, for a fixed synthesis window ψ∈L2(Rd), the family of localization operators Lφ,ψA obtained when the analysis window φ varies on the unit ball of L2(Rd) is a relatively compact set of compact operators.
Analytic structure in fibers of H∞(Bc0)
2020
Abstract Let H ∞ ( B c 0 ) be the algebra of all bounded holomorphic functions on the open unit ball of c 0 and M ( H ∞ ( B c 0 ) ) the spectrum of H ∞ ( B c 0 ) . We prove that for any point z in the closed unit ball of l ∞ there exists an analytic injection of the open ball B l ∞ into the fiber of z in M ( H ∞ ( B c 0 ) ) , which is an isometry from the Gleason metric of B l ∞ to the Gleason metric of M ( H ∞ ( B c 0 ) ) . We also show that, for some Banach spaces X, B l ∞ can be analytically injected into the fiber M z ( H ∞ ( B X ) ) for every point z ∈ B X .
