Smooth Banach spaces and approximations

If E and F are real Banach spaces let C^p,q(E, F) O ≤ q ≤ p ≤ ∞, denote those maps from E to F which have p continuous Frechet derivatives of which the first q derivatives are bounded. A Banach space E is defined to be C^p,q smooth if C^p,q(E,R) contains a nonzero function with bounded support. This generalizes the standard C^p smoothness classification.

If an L^p space, p ≥ 1, is C^q smooth then it is also C^q,q smooth so that in particular L^p for p an even integer is C^∞,∞ smooth and L^p for p an odd integer is C^p-1,p-1 smooth. In general, however, a C^p smooth B-space need not be C^p,p smooth. C_o is shown to be a non-C^2,2 smooth B-space although it is known to be C^∞ smooth. It is proved that if E is C^p,1 smooth then C_o(E) is C^p,1 smooth and if E has an equivalent C^p norm then c_o(E) has an equivalent C^p norm.

Various consequences of C^p,q smoothness are studied. If f ϵ C^p,q(E,F), if F is C^p,q smooth and if E is non-C^p,q smooth, then the image under f of the boundary of any bounded open subset U of E is dense in the image of U. If E is separable then E is C^p,q smooth if and only if E admits C^p,q partitions of unity; E is C^p,psmooth, p ˂∞, if and only if every closed subset of E is the zero set of some C^P function.

f ϵ C^q(E,F), 0 ≤ q ≤ p ≤ ∞, is said to be C_p,q approximable on a subset U of E if for any ϵ ˃ 0 there exists a g ϵ C^p(E,F) satisfying

sup/xϵU, O≤k≤q ‖ D^k f(x) - D^k g(x) ‖ ≤ ϵ.

It is shown that if E is separable and C^p,q smooth and if f ϵ C^q(E,F) is C_p,q approximable on some neighborhood of every point of E, then F is C_p,q approximable on all of E.

In general it is unknown whether an arbitrary function in C¹(l², R) is C_2,1 approximable and an example of a function in C¹(l², R) which may not be C_2,1 approximable is given. A weak form of C_∞,q, q≥1, to functions in C^q(l², R) is proved: Let {U_α} be a locally finite cover of l² and let {T_α} be a corresponding collection of Hilbert-Schmidt operators on l². Then for any f ϵ C^q(l²,F) such that for all α

sup ‖ D^k(f(x)-g(x))[T_αh]‖ ≤ 1.

Convergence Properties and Fixed Points of Two General Iterative Schemes with Composed Maps in Banach Spaces with Applications to Guaranteed Global Stability

This paper investigates the boundedness and convergence properties of two general iterative processes which involve sequences of self-mappings on either complete metric or Banach spaces. The sequences of self-mappings considered in the first iterative scheme are constructed by linear combinations of a set of self-mappings, each of them being a weighted version of a certain primary self-mapping on the same space. The sequences of self-mappings of the second iterative scheme are powers of an iteration-dependent scaled version of the primary self-mapping. Some applications are also given to the important problem of global stability of a class of extended nonlinear polytopic-type parameterizations of certain dynamic systems.

Isometric embedding of finite ultrametric spaces in Banach spaces

We prove that for any finite ultrametric space M and any infinite-dimensional Banach space B there exists an isometric embedding of M into B.

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.

Infinite Dimensional Banach spaces of functions with nonlinear properties

The aim of this paper is to show that there exist infinite dimensional Banach spaces of functions that, except for 0, satisfy properties that apparently should be destroyed by the linear combination of two of them. Three of these spaces are: a Banach space of differentiable functions on Rn failing the Denjoy-Clarkson property; a Banach space of non Riemann integrable bounded functions, but with antiderivative at each point of an interval; a Banach space of infinitely differentiable functions that vanish at infinity and are not the Fourier transform of any Lebesgue integrable function.

Spin spaces and positive decomposition of linear maps on ordered Banach spaces

Spin factors and generalizations are used to revisit positive generation of B(E, F), where E and F are ordered Banach spaces. Interior points of B(E, F)+ are discussed and in many cases it is seen that positive generation of B(E, F) is controlled by spin structure in F when F is a JBW-algebra.

Towards a maximal extension of Pelczynski`s decomposition method in Banach spaces

l Suppose that X, Y. A and B are Banach spaces such that X is isomorphic to Y E) A and Y is isomorphic to X circle plus B. Are X and Y necessarily isomorphic? In this generality. the answer is no, as proved by W.T. Cowers in 1996. In the present paper, we provide a very simple necessary and sufficient condition on the 10-tuples (k, l, m, n. p, q, r, s, u, v) in N with p+q+u >= 3, r+s+v >= 3, uv >= 1, (p,q)$(0,0), (r,s)not equal(0,0) and u=1 or v=1 or (p. q) = (1, 0) or (r, s) = (0, 1), which guarantees that X is isomorphic to Y whenever these Banach spaces satisfy X(u) similar to X(p)circle plus Y(q), Y(u) similar to X(r)circle plus Y(s), and A(k) circle plus B(l) similar to A(m) circle plus B(n). Namely, delta = +/- 1 or lozenge not equal 0, gcd(lozenge, delta (p + q - u)) divides p + q - u and gcd(lozenge, delta(r + s - v)) divides r + s - v, where 3 = k - I - in + n is the characteristic number of the 4-tuple (k, l, m, n) and lozenge = (p - u)(s - v) - rq is the discriminant of the 6-tuple (p, q, r, s, U, v). We conjecture that this result is in some sense a maximal extension of the classical Pelczynski`s decomposition method in Banach spaces: the case (1, 0. 1, 0, 2. 0, 0, 2. 1. 1).
