Strong Converse Results for Linking Operators and Convex Functions
2020
We consider a family B n , ρ c of operators which is a link between classical Baskakov operators (for ρ = ∞ ) and their genuine Durrmeyer type modification (for ρ = 1 ). First, we prove that for fixed n , c and a fixed convex function f , B n , ρ c f is decreasing with respect to ρ . We give two proofs, using various probabilistic considerations. Then, we combine this property with some existing direct and strong converse results for classical operators, in order to get such results for the operators B n , ρ c applied to convex functions.
Malliavin Calculus of Bismut Type for Fractional Powers of Laplacians in Semi-Group Theory
2011
We translate into the language of semi-group theory Bismut's Calculus on boundary processes (Bismut (1983), Lèandre (1989)) which gives regularity result on the heat kernel associated with fractional powers of degenerated Laplacian. We translate into the language of semi-group theory the marriage of Bismut (1983) between the Malliavin Calculus of Bismut type on the underlying diffusion process and the Malliavin Calculus of Bismut type on the subordinator which is a jump process.
A C1-generic dichotomy for diffeomorphisms: Weak forms of hyperbolicity or infinitely many sinks or sources
2003
We show that, for every compact n-dimensional manifold, n > 1, there is a residual subset of Diff (M) of diffeomorphisms for which the homoclinic class of any periodic saddle of f verifies one of the following two possibilities: Either it is contained in the closure of an infinite set of sinks or sources (Newhouse phenomenon), or it presents some weak form of hyperbolicity called dominated splitting (this is a generalization of a bidimensional result of Mafine [Ma3]). In particular, we show that any Cl-robustly transitive diffeomorphism admits a dominated splitting.
Devroye Inequality for a Class of Non-Uniformly Hyperbolic Dynamical Systems
2005
In this paper, we prove an inequality, which we call "Devroye inequality", for a large class of non-uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems (M,f). This class, introduced by L.-S. Young, includes families of piece-wise hyperbolic maps (Lozi-like maps), scattering billiards (e.g., planar Lorentz gas), unimodal and H{\'e}non-like maps. Devroye inequality provides an upper bound for the variance of observables of the form K(x,f(x),...,f^{n-1}(x)), where K is any separately Holder continuous function of n variables. In particular, we can deal with observables which are not Birkhoff averages. We will show in \cite{CCS} some applications of Devroye inequality to statistical properties of this class…
A proof of Carleson's $\varepsilon^2$-conjecture
2019
In this paper we provide a proof of the Carleson $\varepsilon^2$-conjecture. This result yields a characterization (up to exceptional sets of zero length) of the tangent points of a Jordan curve in terms of the finiteness of the associated Carleson $\varepsilon^2$-square function.
Comments on the validity of a common category of constitutive equations
1974
Many constitutive equations for viscoelastic materials which have appeared in the literature are modifications of the linear viscoelasticity model. Their general form is: [5] $$\tau = \int\limits_0^\infty {(f_1 C + f_2 C^{ - 1)} ds.} $$ The memory functionsf 1 andf 2, are assumed to depend explicitly on either some instantaneous or some timeaveraged value of the invariants of the rate of strain. It is shown in this paper that the general theory of simple fluids with fading memory is based on certain assumptions of smoothness for the constitutive functional which are violated by constitutive equations of the type discussed. This implies that, should any real material obey eq. [5], with an ex…
Dimension of self-affine sets for fixed translation vectors
2018
An affine iterated function system is a finite collection of affine invertible contractions and the invariant set associated to the mappings is called self-affine. In 1988, Falconer proved that, for given matrices, the Hausdorff dimension of the self-affine set is the affinity dimension for Lebesgue almost every translation vectors. Similar statement was proven by Jordan, Pollicott, and Simon in 2007 for the dimension of self-affine measures. In this article, we have an orthogonal approach. We introduce a class of self-affine systems in which, given translation vectors, we get the same results for Lebesgue almost all matrices. The proofs rely on Ledrappier-Young theory that was recently ver…
Discretization of harmonic measures for foliated bundles
2012
We prove in this note that there is, for some foliated bundles, a bijective correspondance between Garnett's harmonic measures and measures on the fiber that are stationary for some probability measure on the holonomy group. As a consequence, we show the uniqueness of the harmonic measure in the case of some foliations transverse to projective fiber bundles.
Robustness of the Gaussian concentration inequality and the Brunn–Minkowski inequality
2016
We provide a sharp quantitative version of the Gaussian concentration inequality: for every $r>0$, the difference between the measure of the $r$-enlargement of a given set and the $r$-enlargement of a half-space controls the square of the measure of the symmetric difference between the set and a suitable half-space. We also prove a similar estimate in the Euclidean setting for the enlargement with a general convex set. This is equivalent to the stability of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the Minkowski sum between a convex set and a generic one.
Set-valued Brownian motion
2015
Brownian motions, martingales, and Wiener processes are introduced and studied for set valued functions taking values in the subfamily of compact convex subsets of arbitrary Banach space $X$. The present paper is an application of one the paper of the second author in which an embedding result is obtained which considers also the ordered structure of $ck(X)$ and f-algebras.
