Li–Yorke and distributionally chaotic operators

In this paper we consider a state constrained differential inclusion$\dot x\in \mathbb A x+ F(t,x)$, with $\mathbb A$ generator of a strongly continuous semigroup inan infinite dimensional separable Banach space. Under an``inward pointing condition'' we prove a relaxation result stating thatthe set of trajectories lying in the interior of the constraint is dense in the set ofconstrained trajectories of the convexified inclusion$\dot x\in \mathbb A x+ \overline{\textrm{co}}F(t,x)$.Some applications to control problems involving PDEs are given.

This work studies the structural properties and convergence approach of chance-constrained optimization of boundary-value elliptic partial differential equation systems (CCPDEs). The boundary conditions are random input functions deliberated from the boundary of the partial differential equation (PDE) system and in the infinite-dimensional reflexive and separable Banach space. The structural properties of the chance constraints studied in this paper are continuity, closedness, compactness, convexity, and smoothness of probabilistic uniform or pointwise state constrained functions and their parametric approximations. These are open issues even in the finite-dimensional Banach space. Thus, it needs finite-dimensional and smooth parametric approximation representations. We propose a convex approximation approach to nonconvex CCPDE problems. When the approximation parameter goes to zero from the right, the solutions of the relaxation and compression approximations converge asymptotically to the optimal solution of the original CCPDE. Due to the convexity of the problem, a global solution exists for the proposed approximations. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the plausibility and applicability of the proposed approach.

Two homogeneous measures of noncompactness β and γ on an infinite dimensional Banach space X are called “equivalent” if there exist positive constants b and c such that bβ(S) ≤ γ(S) ≤ cβ(S) for all bounded sets \({S\subset X}\). If such constants do not exist, the measures of noncompactness are “inequivalent.” We ask a foundational question which apparently has not previously been considered: For what infinite dimensional Banach spaces do there exist inequivalent measures of noncompactness on X? We provide here the first examples of inequivalent measures of noncompactness. We prove that such inequivalent measures exist if X is a Hilbert space; or if (Ω, Σ, μ) is a general measure space, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, and X = Lp(Ω, Σ, μ); or if K is a compact Hausdorff space and X = C(K); or if K is a compact metric space, 0 < λ ≤ 1, and X = C0,λ(K), the Banach space of Holder continuous functions with Holder exponent λ. We also prove the existence of such inequivalent measures of noncompactness if Ω is an open subset of \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) and X is the Sobolev space Wm,p(Ω). Our motivation comes from questions about existence of eigenvectors of homogeneous, continuous, order-preserving cone maps f : C→C and from the closely related issue of giving the proper definition of the “cone essential spectral radius” of such maps. These questions are considered in the companion paper [28]; see, also, [27].

We study classes of mappings between finite and infinite dimensional Banach spaces that are monotone and mappings which are differences of monotone mappings (DM). We prove a Radó–Reichelderfer estimate for monotone mappings in finite dimensional spaces that remains valid for DM mappings. This provides an alternative proof of the Fréchet differentiability a.e. of DM mappings. We establish a Morrey-type estimate for the distributional derivative of monotone mappings. We prove that a locally DM mapping between finite dimensional spaces is also globally DM. We introduce and study a new class of the so-called UDM mappings between Banach spaces, which generalizes the concept of curves of finite variation.

We prove the impossibility of expressing the space of entire functions on any infinite dimensional complex Banach space with a Schauder basis E as a countable union of spaces of entire functions that are bounded on countable open covers of E .

SOME RESULTS RELATED TO THE SEPARABLE QUOTIENT PROBLEM

We establish a general result on the existence of hypercyclic (resp., transitive, weakly mixing, mixing, frequently hypercyclic) polynomials on locally convex spaces. As a consequence we prove that every (real or complex) infinite-dimensional separable Frèchet space admits mixing (hence hypercyclic) polynomials of arbitrary positive degree. Moreover, every complex infinite-dimensional separable Banach space with an unconditional Schauder decomposition and every complex Frèchet space with an unconditional basis support chaotic and frequently hypercyclic polynomials of arbitrary positive degree. We also study distributional chaos for polynomials and show that every infinite-dimensional separable Banach space supports polynomials of arbitrary positive degree that have a dense distributionally scrambled linear manifold.

We present a non-weak supercyclicity criterion for vectors in infinite dimensional Banach spaces. Also, we give sufficient conditions under which a class of weighted composition operators on a Banach space of analytic functions is not weakly supercyclic. In particular, we show that the semigroup of linear isometries on the spaces $S^p$ ($p>1$), is not weakly supercyclic. Moreover, we observe that every composition operator on some Banach space of analytic functions such as the disc algebra or the analytic Lipschitz space is not weakly supercyclic.

This paper shows if $X$ is an infinite dimensional Banach space, $X$ contains a linearly independent arc. Also based on the continuum hypothesis, that if $X$ is an infinite dimensional Banach space and card $X = c$, then $X$ contains a dense arcwise connected Hamel basis.

Over the past years, a significant interest has developed in the study of holomorphic functions defined on a domain in an infinite-dimensional Banach space and of their constituents (via Taylor expansions), the homogeneous polynomials. Many of the questions that have been studied have arisen from considerations of infinitedimensional topology and from standard function algebra questions [CCG]. Recently, there has been an interest in connecting the well-developed theory of the geometry of Banach spaces with the function theory questions that have been studied classically, and some progress has been made in this direction [ACG; D; F; CCG; CGJ]. In addition, connections between properties of polynomials and geometry of the unit ball has been of interest (see [GJL] for a survey of this topic). The present work is an attempt to study some of the properties of bounded analytic functions on the unit ball of an infinite-dimensional Banach space. In particular, we are interested in understanding something of boundary behavior; we combine techniques from the several fields to investigate it, especially with regard to the interplay with convexity and smoothness. Many of the results here apply to the classical “nice” reflexive spaces, such as lp and Lp (1 < p <∞). It is almost certain that there is much more to be learned even about the Hilbert space case. We consider the boundary behavior of H∞ functions on B, the open unit ball of an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space that has the geometric properties of uniform convexity, uniform smoothness, or both. By uniform smoothness, we mean uniform (real) Frechet differentiability of the norm, with the space considered as a real Banach space. Uniform convexity will mean that the dual is uniformly smooth; since spaces with either property are reflexive, this definition is complete. To be specific however, we state the following (after [LT]).

Unconditional Basis and Gordon–Lewis Constants for Spaces of Polynomials

In the paper we establish some conditions under which a given sequence of polynomials on a Banach space X supports entire functions of unbounded type, and construct some counter examples. We show that if X is an infinite dimensional Banach space, then the set of entire functions of unbounded type can be represented as a union of infinite dimensional linear subspaces (without the origin). Moreover, we show that for some cases, the set of entire functions of unbounded type generated by a given sequence of polynomials contains an infinite dimensional algebra (without the origin). Some applications for symmetric analytic functions on Banach spaces are obtained.
