On the solvability of Hamilton's equations in Hilbert spaces

We construct a bounded function $H : l_2\times l_2 \to R$ with continuous Frechet derivative such that for any $q_0\in l_2$ the Cauchy problem $\dot p= - {\partial H\over\partial q}$, $\dot q={\partial H\over\partial p}$, $p(0) = 0$, q(0) = q_0$ has no solutions in any neighborhood of zero in R.

Structure of spectra of linear operators in Banach spaces

Descriptive characterizations of the point, the continuous, and the residual spectra of operators in Banach spaces are put forward. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions for three disjoint subsets of the complex plane to be the point spectrum, the continuous spectrum, and the residual spectrum of a linear continuous operator in a separable Banach space are obtained.

Three constructive examples of separable pre-Hilbert spaces nonisomorphic to their closed hyperplanes

An example of a sigma -compact infinite-dimensional pre-Hilbert space H is constructed such that any continuous linear operator T: H --> H is of the form T = lambdaI + F for some lambda is an element of R and for a finite-dimensional continuous linear operator F. A class of simple examples of pre-Hilbert spaces nonisomorphic to their closed hyperplanes is given. A sigma -compact pre-Hilbert space H isomorphic to H x R x R and nonisomorphic to H x R is also constructed.

Integral completeness of locally convex spaces

A locally convex space X is said to be integrally complete if each continuous mapping f: [0, 1] --> X is Riemann integrable. A criterion for integral completeness is established. Readily verifiable sufficient conditions of integral completeness are proved.

Whitney's type theorems for infinite dimensional spaces

It is proved that for any $f$ is an element of $C^k(L,R)$, where k is a natural number and L is a closed linear subspace of a nuclear Frechet space $X$, the function $f$ can be extended to a function of class $C^{k-1}$ defined on the entire space $X$. It is also proved that for any $f$ is an element of $C^k(L, R)$, where $k$ is a natural number of infinity and L is a closed linear subspace of a dual $X$ of a nuclear Frechet space, the function $f$ can be extended to a function of class $C^k$ defined on the entire space $X$. In addition, it is proved that under these conditions, the existence of a linear extension operator is equivalent to the complementability of the subspace.

On stratifiable locally convex spaces

In the present paper we prove several results on the stratifiability of locally convex spaces. In particular, we show that a free locally convex sum of an arbitrary set of stratifiable LCS is a stratifiable LCS, and that all locally convex F'-spaces whose bounded subsets are metrizable are stratifiable. Moreover, we prove that a strict inductive limit of metrizable LCS is stratifiable and establish the stratifiability of many important general and specific spaces used in functional analysis. We also construct some examples that clarify the relationship between the stratifiability and other properties.

Counterexample to Peano's theorem in infinite-dimensional F '-spaces

Let $E$ be a nonnormable Frechet space, and let $E'$ be the space of all continuous linear functionals on $E$ in the strong topology. A continuous mapping $f : E' \to E'$ such that for any $t_0\in R$ and $x_0\in E'$, the Cauchy problem $\dot x= f(x)$, x(t_0) = x_0$ has no solutions is constructed.

Some results on solvability of ordinary linear differential equations in locally convex spaces

Let $\Gamma$ be the class of sequentially complete locally convex spaces such that an existence theorem holds for the linear Cauchy problem $\dot x = Ax$, $x(0) = x_0$ with respect to functions $x: R\to E$. It is proved that if $E\in \Gamma$, then $E\times R^A$ is-an-element-of $\Gamma$ for an arbitrary set $A$. It is also proved that a topological product of infinitely many infinite-dimensional Frechet spaces, each not isomorphic to $\omega$, does not belong to $\Gamma$.
