Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

All spaces involved in applications have natural structures of ordered topological vector spaces. Extension theorem for linear operators and polynomial approximation on special closed unbounded subsets leads to characterizing the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of some Markov moment problems in terms of quadratic forms. Finding new results on this subject is the first aim. The second purpose is to give applications related to the characterization of isotonicity of a continuous convex operator on a convex cone in terms of its subdifferentials. I cordially invite you to publish your results on related subjects in this Special Issue.

We introduce a method based on Lipschitz pointwise transformations to define a distance on a Banach function space from its norm. We show how some specific lattice geometric properties (p-convexity, p-concavity, p-regularity) or, equivalently, some types of summability conditions [...] Read more.
We introduce a method based on Lipschitz pointwise transformations to define a distance on a Banach function space from its norm. We show how some specific lattice geometric properties (p-convexity, p-concavity, p-regularity) or, equivalently, some types of summability conditions (for example, when the terms of the terms in the sums in the range of the operator are restricted to the interval [1,1]) can be studied by adapting the classical analytical techniques of the summability of operators on Banach lattices, which recalls the work of Maurey. We show a technique to prove new integral dominations (equivalently, operator factorizations), which involve non-homogeneous expressions constructed by pointwise composition with Lipschitz maps. As an example, we prove a new family of integral bounds for certain operators on Lorentz spaces. Full article

We let υ be a convex function on an interval [ι1,ι2]R. If ζC([ι1,ι2]), ζ0 and ζ is symmetric with respect to ι1+ι22, then υ12j=12ιjι1ι2ζ(s)dsι1ι2υ(s)ζ(s)ds12j=12υ(ιj)ι1ι2ζ(s)ds. The above estimates were obtained by Fejér in 1906 as a generalization of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality (the above inequality with ζ1). This work is focused on the study of right-side Fejér-type inequalities in one- and two-dimensional cases for new classes of differentiable functions υ. In the one-dimensional case, the obtained results hold without any symmetry condition imposed on the weight function ζ. In the two-dimensional case, the right side of Fejer’s inequality is extended to the class of subharmonic functions υ on a disk. Full article

In this paper, we introduce the property (h) on Banach lattices and present its characterization in terms of disjoint sequences. Then, an example is given to show that an order-to-norm continuous operator may not be σ-order continuous. Suppose T:EF is an order-bounded operator from Dedekind σ-complete Banach lattice E into Dedekind complete Banach lattice F. We prove that T is σ-order-to-norm continuous if and only if T is both order weakly compact and σ-order continuous. In addition, if E can be represented as an ideal of L0(μ), where (Ω,Σ,μ) is a σ-finite measure space, then T is σ-order-to-norm continuous if and only if T is order-to-norm continuous. As applications, we extend Wickstead’s results on the order continuity of norms on E and E. Full article

We develop a class of Steffensen-like schemes for approximating solution of Banach space valued equations. The sequences generated by these schemes are, converging to the solution under certain hypotheses that are weaker than in earlier studies. Hence, extending the region of applicability of these schemes without additional hypotheses. Benefits include: more choices for initial points; the computation of fewer iterates to reach a certain accuracy in the error distances, and a more precise knowledge of the solution. Technique is applicable on other schemes our due to its generality. Full article

In this paper we provide new geometric invariants of surjective isometries between unit spheres of Banach spaces. Let X,Y be Banach spaces and let T:SXSY be a surjective isometry. The most relevant geometric invariants under surjective isometries such as T are known to be the starlike sets, the maximal faces of the unit ball, and the antipodal points (in the finite-dimensional case). Here, new geometric invariants are found, such as almost flat sets, flat sets, starlike compatible sets, and starlike generated sets. Also, in this work, it is proved that if F is a maximal face of the unit ball containing inner points, then T(F)=T(F). We also show that if [x,y] is a non-trivial segment contained in the unit sphere such that T([x,y]) is convex, then T is affine on [x,y]. As a consequence, T is affine on every segment that is a maximal face. On the other hand, we introduce a new geometric property called property P, which states that every face of the unit ball is the intersection of all maximal faces containing it. This property has turned out to be, in a implicit way, a very useful tool to show that many Banach spaces enjoy the Mazur-Ulam property. Following this line, in this manuscript it is proved that every reflexive or separable Banach space with dimension greater than or equal to 2 can be equivalently renormed to fail property P.

The aim of this paper is to define and study the composition vector spaces as a type of tri-operational algebras. In this regard, by presenting nontrivial examples, it is emphasized that they are a proper generalization of vector spaces and their structure can be characterized by using linear operators. Additionally, some related properties about foundations, composition subspaces and residual elements are investigated. Moreover, it is shown how to endow a vector space with a composition structure by using bijective linear operators. Finally, more properties of the composition vector spaces are presented in connection with linear transformations. Full article

The present paper deals with a class of second-order PDE constrained controlled optimization problems with application in Lagrange–Hamilton dynamics. Concretely, we formulate and prove necessary conditions of optimality for the considered class of control problems driven by multiple integral cost functionals involving second-order partial derivatives. Moreover, an illustrative example is provided to highlight the effectiveness of the results derived in the paper. In the final part of the paper, we present an algorithm to summarize the steps for solving a control problem such as the one investigated here. Full article

The present review paper provides recent results on convexity and its applications to the constrained extension of linear operators, motivated by the existence of subgradients of continuous convex operators, the Markov moment problem and related Markov operators, approximation using the Krein–Milman theorem, related optimization, and polynomial approximation on unbounded subsets. In many cases, the Mazur–Orlicz theorem also leads to Markov operators as solutions. The common point of all these results is the Hahn–Banach theorem and its consequences, supplied by specific results in polynomial approximation. All these theorems or their proofs essentially involve the notion of convexity. Full article

Firstly, we recall the classical moment problem and some basic results related to it. By its formulation, this is an inverse problem: being given a sequence (yj)jn  of real numbers and a closed subset Fn, n{1,2,}, find a positive regular Borel measure μ on F such that Ftjdμ=yj, jn. This is the full moment problem. The existence, uniqueness, and construction of the unknown solution μ are the focus of attention. The numbers yj, jn are called the moments of the measure μ. When a sandwich condition on the solution is required, we have a Markov moment problem. Secondly, we study the existence and uniqueness of the solutions to some full Markov moment problems. If the moments yj are self-adjoint operators, we have an operator-valued moment problem. Related results are the subject of attention. The truncated moment problem is also discussed, constituting the third aim of this work. Full article
