A number of sharp inequalities are proved for the space ${mathcal P}left(^2Dleft(frac{pi}{4}right)right)$ of 2-homogeneous polynomials on ${mathbb R}^2$ endowed with the supremum norm on the sector $Dleft(frac{pi}{4}right):=left{e^{itheta}:thetain left[0,frac{pi}{4}right]right}$. Among the main results we can find sharp Bernstein and Markov inequalities and the calculation of the polarization constant and the unconditional constant of the canonical basis of the space ${mathcal P}left(^2Dleft(frac{pi}{4}right)right)$.
We investigate the growth of the polynomial and multilinear Hardy--Littlewood inequalities. Analytical and numerical approaches are performed and, in particular, among other results, we show that a simple application of the best known constants of the Clarkson inequality improves a recent result of Araujo et al. We also obtain the optimal constants of the generalized Hardy--Littlewood inequality in some special cases.
Given two symmetric and positive semidefinite square matrices $A, B$, is it true that any matrix given as the product of $m$ copies of $A$ and $n$ copies of $B$ in a particular sequence must be dominated in the spectral norm by the ordered matrix product $A^m B^n$? For example, is $$ | AABAABABB | leq | AAAAABBBB | ? $$ Drury has characterized precisely which disordered words have the property that an inequality of this type holds for all matrices $A,B$. However, the $1$-parameter family of counterexamples Drury constructs for these characterizations is comprised of $3 times 3$ matrices, and thus as stated the characterization applies only for $N times N$ matrices with $N geq 3$. In contrast, we prove that for $2 times 2$ matrices, the general rearrangement inequality holds for all disordered words. We also show that for larger $N times N$ matrices, the general rearrangement inequality holds for all disordered words, for most $A,B$ (in a sense of full measure) that are sufficiently small perturbations of the identity.
In this note we give several characterisations of weights for two-weight Hardy inequalities to hold on general metric measure spaces possessing polar decompositions. Since there may be no differentiable structure on such spaces, the inequalities are given in the integral form in the spirit of Hardys original inequality. We give examples obtaining new weighted Hardy inequalities on $mathbb R^n$, on homogeneous groups, on hyperbolic spaces, and on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.
We give a short and elementary proof of an inverse Bernstein-type inequality found by S. Khrushchev for the derivative of a polynomial having all its zeros on the unit circle. The inequality is used to show that equally-spaced points solve a min-max-min problem for the logarithmic potential of such polynomials. Using techniques recently developed for polarization (Chebyshev-type) problems, we show that this optimality also holds for a large class of potentials, including the Riesz potentials $1/r^s$ with $s>0.$
For initial data in Sobolev spaces $H^s(mathbb T)$, $frac 12 < s leqslant 1$, the solution to the Cauchy problem for the Benjamin-Ono equation on the circle is shown to grow at most polynomially in time at a rate $(1+t)^{3(s-frac 12) + epsilon}$, $0<epsilon ll 1$. Key to establishing this result is the discovery of a nonlinear smoothing effect for the Benjamin-Ono equation, according to which the solution to the equation satisfied by a certain gauge transform, which is widely used in the well-posedness theory of the Cauchy problem, becomes smoother once its free solution is removed.
