Abstract: ONE OF THE most active research areas in nonlinear functional analysis is the asymptotics of nonexpansive mappings. Most of the results, however, have been obtained in normed linear spaces. It is natural, therefore, to try to develop a theory of nonexpansive iterations in more general infinite-dimensional manifolds. This is the purpose of the present paper. More specifically, we propose the class of hyperbolic spaces as an appropriate background for the study of operator theory in general, and of iterative processes for nonexpansive mappings in particular. This class of metric spaces, which is defined in Section 2, includes all normed linear spaces and Hadamard manifolds, as well as the Hilbert ball and the Cartesian product of Hilbert balls. In Section 3 we introduce co-accretive operators and their resolvents, and present some of their properties. In the fourth section we discuss the concept of uniform convexity for hyperbolic spaces. Section 5 is devoted to two new geometric properties of (infinite-dimensional) Banach spaces. Theorem 5.6 provides a characterization of Banach spaces having these properties in terms of nonlinear accretive operators. In Sections 6, 7 and 8 we study explicit, implict and continuous iterations, repectively, using the same approach in all three sections. We illustrate this common approach with the following special case. Let C be a closed convex subset of a hyperbolic space (X, p), let T: C --f C be a nonexpansive mapping, and let x be a point in C. In order to study the iteration (T”x: n = 0, 1,2, . . .), we set z,, = (1 (l/n))x 0 (l/n)T”x, K = clco(zj;j I l), and d = inf(p(y, Ty): y E C). The first step is to show that p(x, K) = lim p(x, T”x)/n = d. This leads to the convergence “+m of lz,) when X is uniformly convex and to the weak convergence of (z,,] when X is a Banach space which is reflexive and strictly convex. When T is an averaged mapping we are also able to establish the following triple equality. For all k 2 1,

Abstract: We study the integral operators on the lateral boundary of a space-time cylinder that are given by the boundary values and the normal derivatives of the single and double layer potentials defined with the fundamental solution of the heat equation. For Lipschitz cylinders we show that the 2×2 matrix of these operators defines a bounded and positive definite bilinear form on certain anisotropic Sobolev spaces. By restriction, this implies the positivity of the single layer heat potential and of the normal derivative of the double layer heat potential. Continuity and bijectivity of these operators in a certain range of Sobolev spaces are also shown. As an application, we derive error estimates for various Galerkin methods. An example is the numerical approximation of an eddy current problem which is an interface problem with the heat equation in one domain and the Laplace equation in a second domain. Results of numerical computations for this problem are presented.

Abstract: This work studies the continuity of pseudo-differential operators in H6rmander's class .~emn (cf. [11]) in several function spaces, including L p spaces, Hardy spaces, weak L 1 and BMO. The basic assumption throughout the paper is that 0< Q<= 1, 0<_-6Q. The stress is on sharp conditions over the order and type of the operators. Our point of view is that in many spaces continuity should follow from the functional calculus and simple computations, once L 2 estimates and suitable estimates for the kernel are known. Thus, we prove three different types of estimates for kernels of pseudo-differential operators: pointwise, integral and \"dyadic integral\" in w 1, w 2 and w 5 respectively; the first two types extend [14, p. 1053] and [1, p. 75], the last one may be new. Then we combine these estimates with the L2-continuity results proved in [13] to obtain (L 1, weak L~), (L ~, BMO), (L p, L q) and (H p, L p) continuity conditions that extend or improve results due to C. Fefferman [9], L. H6rmander [11] and J. Alvarez and M. Milman [1] (most results are classic for 6< Q or 6_<-0). We also prove a pointwise estimate for the sharp maximal function (Lf) ~ in terms of the generalized Hardy--Littlewood maximal function Mpf for some pseudo-differential operators L extending [2, p. 424]. It is well-known that these pointwise estimates give weighted L p estimates for L. When 0= 1, pseudo-differential operators of non-positive order are associated to standard kernels, i.e., they are generalized Calderdn--Zygmund operators. However, when ~<1, in order to obtain the best continuity properties, one is led to consider kernels that blow up at the diagonal faster than standard kernels. It is then natural to ask to what extent properties valid for operators associated to stan-

Abstract: The present chapter is devoted to the introduction of the notation, the definitions and most of the results from functional analysis which will be needed in the sequel. Because of lack of space, we refrain from explaining the motivations behind the numerous definitions we introduce. We merely illustrate them with examples of Schrodinger operators and we postpone a more detailed study to Chapter II. Rather than a serious introduction to the spectral theory of self-adjoint operators, this chapter should be understood as a glossary and a summary of the terms and results to be used in the sequel.

Abstract: In this paper the problem of the $H^\infty $ optimization of multivariable distributed systems in the four block setting is studied. This work is based on several previous papers and employs the skew Toeplitz framework developed in [Operator Theory: Adv. Appl., 32 (1988), pp. 21–43], [Operator Theory: Adv. Appl.,32 (1988), pp. 93–112], [Operator Theory and Integral Equations, 11 (1988), pp. 726–767], [J. Functional Anal., 74 (1987), pp. 146–159], [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 19 (1988), pp. 1081–1091].

Abstract: Our object of study is the ring of invariant differential operators on a hermitian symmetric space G/K of classical and noncompact type. Here, as usual, G is a connected noncompact semisimple Lie group with finite center and K is a maximal compact subgroup of G. It is well-known that the ring, denoted by ?(G/K), is isomorphic to a polynomial ring of 1 variables, 1 being the rank of G/K. This is true even in the nonhermitian case. If 1 = 1, it is generated by the Laplace-Beltrami operator z/ which is essentially self-adjoint; moreover -Iz2 is nonnegative. In the general case, an easily posable problem is to find an explicitly defined set of generators. We can go one step further by focusing our attention on the nonnegativity, which necessarily limits the range of eigenvalues under a suitable integrability condition on functions. It is thus natural to ask whether there exist some canonically defined operators which generate -9(G/K) and have the property of nonnegativity. The main purpose of the present paper is to give an affirmative answer to this question. In fact, our answer applies to a somewhat more general type of rings of differential operators which includes 9(G/K) as a special case. To be explicit, we take an irreducible representation p: K -* GL(V) with a complex vector space V of finite dimension, and consider the set C'(p) of all V-valued Cx functions f on G such that f(xk -1) = p(k)f(x) for every k e K. We then denote by ?(p) the ring of left-invariant difrrential operators on G which map C'(p) into itself. Now the complexification g of the Lie algebra of G has abelian subalgebras p+ and pwhich can be identified with the spaces of holomorphic and antiholomorphic tangent vectors on G/K at the origin. For any complex vector space W let Sr(W) denote the ring of all complex-valued homogeneous polynomial functions on W of degree r, and let S(W) = Er=0Sr(W). Through the adjoint representation of G on g, K acts naturally on Sr( ?+). It is a known fact, due to Hua and Schmid, that each irreducible constituent of this representation of K has multiplicity one. Now our principal

Abstract: Edge-enhancing operators using a modification of the Laplacian called the order statistic (OS) Laplacian are considered. The edge-enhancing operators are evaluated for their performance on the convex/concave (C/C) edge, which is useful blurred edge model, and on white Gaussian noise input signals. It is shown that the operators that use the OS Laplacian are much less sensitive to noise than the edge-enhancing operator that uses the Laplacian, while the edge-enhancing characteristics of the former are comparable to those of the latter. One set of images processed by these operators is presented to illustrate the performance characteristics of these operators. >

Abstract: Summary. The paper deals with the existence of solutions to equations of the form Au =- b with operators monotone in a broader sense, including pseudomonotone operators and operators satisfying conditions S and M. The first part of the paper which has a methodical character is concluded by the proof of an existence theorem for the equation on a reflexive separable Banach space with a bounded demicontinuous coercive operator satisfying condition (M)0. The second part which has a character of a survey compares various types of continuity and monotony and introduces further results. Application of this theory to proofs of existence theorems for boundary value problems for ordinary and partial differential equations is illustrated by examples.

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem on how to evaluate various operators used for estimation of derivatives in images. Such operators are extremely commonly used, for instance to detect edges. For bandlimited correctly sampled signals ideal derivative operators are easy to define. For 2D signals the first derivative operators take the form of a rotation invariant pair. Rotation invariance is also a natural requirement for the non-ideal practically implementable operators of which the Sobel operator is one example. Second degree derivators do not form a set of rotation invariant operators by itself. Instead, certain linear combinations of these derivators display this property. The Fourier domain is used extensively in the analysis, partly because the angular variation in the form of circular harmonics is preserved over the Fourier transform. Circular harmonics expansion is used for evaluation of practically implementable operator kernels. A quantity called total harmonic distortion (THD) is defined to capture the overall deviation from rotation invariance. In a comparison with two other simple kernels it seems that the Sobel operator does fairly well. Errors in magnitude and orientation estimation follow the THD-values quite closely. For all pairs of operators (convolution kernels), which are to be employed for orientation estimation, the paper presents a method to evaluate their quality. Besides, the paper brings about new insights in the interconnected concepts of edge detectors, line detectors, derivative operators, rotation invariance, and rotational symmetry.

Abstract: The aim of these lectures is to prove results on the Gevrey wave front set of the solution of the Cauchy problem with data in spaces of Gevrey ultradistributions for hyperbolic operators with characteristics of constant multiplicity. These results are obtained by constructing a parametrix, with ultradistribution kernel, represented by means of Fourier integral operators of infinite order defined on Gevrey spaces.

Abstract: In this paper we present three characterizations of Tauberian operators in terms of: perturbations by compact operators, products with other operators, and restrictions to subspaces. We obtain also analogous characterizations for co-Tauberian operators and for other semigroups of operators related with the Tauberian and co-Tauberian ones.

Abstract: In this work we give the values of traces of p-order reduced-density operators. These traces are obtained by application of the spin functions and of the symmetric-group properties. The relations obtained here will allow an easy and fast evaluation of the high-order spin-adapted reduced Hamiltonian matrix elements and high-order Hamiltonian moments.
