 On Whitney-type Characterization of Approximate Differentiability on Metric Measure Spaces We study approximately differentiable functions on metric measure spaces admitting a Cheeger differentiable structure. The main result is a Whitney-type characterization of approximately differentiable functions in this setting. As an application, we prove a Stepanov-type theorem and consider approximate differentiability of Sobolev, $BV$ and maximal functions.

 Negative Powers of Laguerre Operators We study negative powers of Laguerre differential operators in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge1$. For these operators we prove two-weight $L^p-L^q$ estimates with ranges of $q$ depending on $p$. The case of the harmonic oscillator (Hermite operator) has recently been treated by Bongioanni and Torrea by using a straightforward approach of kernel estimates. Here these results are applied in certain Laguerre settings. The procedure is fairly direct for Laguerre function expansions of Hermite type, due to some monotonicity properties of the kernels involved. The case of Laguerre function expansions of convolution type is less straightforward. For half-integer type indices $\alpha$ we transfer the desired results from the Hermite setting and then apply an interpolation argument based on a device we call the convexity principle to cover the continuous range of $\alpha\in[-1/2,\infty)^d$. Finally, we investigate negative powers of the Dunkl harmonic oscillator in the context of a finite reflection group acting on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and isomorphic to $\mathbb Z^d_2$. The two weight $L^p-L^q$ estimates we obtain in this setting are essentially consequences of those for Laguerre function expansions of convolution type.

 Monotonically Controlled Mappings 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 RadÃ³-Reichelderfer estimate for monotone mappings in finite dimensional spaces that remains valid for DM mappings. This provides an alternative proof of the FrÃ©chet 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.

 The Brascamp-Lieb Polyhedron A set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the Brascamp--Lieb inequality to hold has recently been found by Bennett, Carbery, Christ, and Tao. We present an analysis of these conditions. This analysis allows us to give a concise description of the set where the inequality holds in the case where each of the linear maps involved has co-rank $1$. This complements the result of Barthe concerning the case where the linear maps all have rank $1$. Pushing our analysis further, we describe the case where the maps have either rank $1$ or rank $2$. A separate but related problem is to give a list of the finite number of conditions necessary and sufficient for the Brascamp--Lieb inequality to hold. We present an algorithm which generates such a list. Keywords:Brascamp-Lieb inequality, Loomis-Whitney inequality, lattice, flagCategories:44A35, 14M15, 26D20

 Degenerate p-Laplacian Operators and Hardy Type Inequalities on H-Type Groups Let $\mathbb G$ be a step-two nilpotent group of H-type with Lie algebra $\mathfrak G=V\oplus \mathfrak t$. We define a class of vector fields $X=\{X_j\}$ on $\mathbb G$ depending on a real parameter $k\ge 1$, and we consider the corresponding $p$-Laplacian operator $L_{p,k} u= \operatorname{div}_X (|\nabla_{X} u|^{p-2} \nabla_X u)$. For $k=1$ the vector fields $X=\{X_j\}$ are the left invariant vector fields corresponding to an orthonormal basis of $V$; for $\mathbb G$ being the Heisenberg group the vector fields are the Greiner fields. In this paper we obtain the fundamental solution for the operator $L_{p,k}$ and as an application, we get a Hardy type inequality associated with $X$.

 $H^\infty$ Functional Calculus and Mikhlin-Type Multiplier Conditions Let $T$ be a sectorial operator. It is known that the existence of a bounded (suitably scaled) $H^\infty$ calculus for $T$, on every sector containing the positive half-line, is equivalent to the existence of a bounded functional calculus on the Besov algebra $\Lambda_{\infty,1}^\alpha(\R^+)$. Such an algebra includes functions defined by Mikhlin-type conditions and so the Besov calculus can be seen as a result on multipliers for $T$. In this paper, we use fractional derivation to analyse in detail the relationship between $\Lambda_{\infty,1}^\alpha$ and Banach algebras of Mikhlin-type. As a result, we obtain a new version of the quoted equivalence.

 A Note on a Conjecture of S. Stahl S. Stahl (Canad. J. Math. \textbf{49}(1997), no. 3, 617--640) conjectured that the zeros of genus polynomial are real. L. Liu and Y. Wang disproved this conjecture on the basis of Example 6.7. In this note, it is pointed out that there is an error in this example and a new generating matrix and initial vector are provided.

 Weighted Inequalities for Hardy--Steklov Operators We characterize the pairs of weights $(v,w)$ for which the operator $Tf(x)=g(x)\int_{s(x)}^{h(x)}f$ with $s$ and $h$ increasing and continuous functions is of strong type $(p,q)$ or weak type $(p,q)$ with respect to the pair $(v,w)$ in the case $0 Keywords:Hardy--Steklov operator, weights, inequalitiesCategories:26D15, 46E30, 42B25 10. CJM 2006 (vol 58 pp. 401) Kolountzakis, Mihail N.; Révész, Szilárd Gy.  On Pointwise Estimates of Positive Definite Functions With Given Support The following problem has been suggested by Paul Tur\' an. Let$\Omega$be a symmetric convex body in the Euclidean space$\mathbb R^d$or in the torus$\TT^d$. Then, what is the largest possible value of the integral of positive definite functions that are supported in$\Omega$and normalized with the value$1$at the origin? From this, Arestov, Berdysheva and Berens arrived at the analogous pointwise extremal problem for intervals in$\RR$. That is, under the same conditions and normalizations, the supremum of possible function values at$z$is to be found for any given point$z\in\Omega$. However, it turns out that the problem for the real line has already been solved by Boas and Kac, who gave several proofs and also mentioned possible extensions to$\RR^d$and to non-convex domains as well. Here we present another approach to the problem, giving the solution in$\RR^d$and for several cases in~$\TT^d$. Actually, we elaborate on the fact that the problem is essentially one-dimensional and investigate non-convex open domains as well. We show that the extremal problems are equivalent to some more familiar ones concerning trigonometric polynomials, and thus find the extremal values for a few cases. An analysis of the relationship between the problem for$\RR^d$and that for$\TT^d$is given, showing that the former case is just the limiting case of the latter. Thus the hierarchy of difficulty is established, so that extremal problems for trigonometric polynomials gain renewed recognition.

CJM 2005 (vol 57 pp. 961) Borwein, Jonathan M.; Wang, Xianfu  Cone-Monotone Functions: Differentiability and Continuity We provide a porosity-based approach to the differentiability and continuity of real-valued functions on separable Banach spaces, when the function is monotone with respect to an ordering induced by a convex cone$K$with non-empty interior. We also show that the set of nowhere$K$-monotone functions has a$\sigma$-porous complement in the space of continuous functions endowed with the uniform metric.

Stepr\={a}ns. \begin{compactenum}[\rm(a)~~] \item There exists a family$\F$of less than continuum many$\C^1$functions from$\real$to$\real$such that$\real^2$is covered by functions from$\F$, in the sense that for every$\la x,y\ra\in\real^2$there exists an$f\in\F$such that either$f(x)=y$or$f(y)=x$. \item For every Borel function$f\colon\real\to\real$there exists a family$\F$of less than continuum many $\C^1$'' functions ({\em i.e.,} differentiable functions with continuous derivatives, where derivative can be infinite) whose graphs cover the graph of$f$. \item For every$n>0$and a$D^n$function$f\colon\real\to\real$there exists a family$\F$of less than continuum many$\C^n$functions whose graphs cover the graph of$f$. \end{compactenum} We also provide the examples showing that in the above properties the smoothness conditions are the best possible.

CJM 2004 (vol 56 pp. 825) Penot, Jean-Paul  Differentiability Properties of Optimal Value Functions Differentiability properties of optimal value functions associated with perturbed optimization problems require strong assumptions. We consider such a set of assumptions which does not use compactness hypothesis but which involves a kind of coherence property. Moreover, a strict differentiability property is obtained by using techniques of Ekeland and Lebourg and a result of Preiss. Such a strengthening is required in order to obtain genericity results.

CJM 2004 (vol 56 pp. 699) Gaspari, Thierry  Bump Functions with HÃ¶lder Derivatives We study the range of the gradients of a$C^{1,\al}$-smooth bump function defined on a Banach space. We find that this set must satisfy two geometrical conditions: It can not be too flat and it satisfies a strong compactness condition with respect to an appropriate distance. These notions are defined precisely below. With these results we illustrate the differences with the case of$C^1$-smooth bump functions. Finally, we give a sufficient condition on a subset of$X^{\ast}$so that it is the set of the gradients of a$C^{1,1}$-smooth bump function. In particular, if$X$is an infinite dimensional Banach space with a$C^{1,1}$-smooth bump function, then any convex open bounded subset of$X^{\ast}$containing$0$is the set of the gradients of a$C^{1,1}$-smooth bump function.

ConvexitÃ©, complÃ¨te monotonie et inÃ©galitÃ©s sur les fonctions zÃªta et gamma sur les fonctions des opÃ©rateurs de Baskakov et sur des fonctions arithmÃ©tiques We give optimal upper and lower bounds for the function$H(x,s)=\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{1}{(x+n)^s}$for$x\geq 0$and$s>1$. These bounds improve the standard inequalities with integrals. We deduce from them inequalities about Riemann's$\zeta$function, and we give a conjecture about the monotonicity of the function$s\mapsto[(s-1)\zeta(s)]^{\frac{1}{s-1}}$. Some applications concern the convexity of functions related to Euler's$\Gamma$function and optimal majorization of elementary functions of Baskakov's operators. Then, the result proved for the function$x\mapsto x^{-s}$is extended to completely monotonic functions. This leads to easy evaluation of the order of the generating series of some arithmetical functions when$z$tends to 1. The last part is concerned with the class of non negative decreasing convex functions on$]0,+\infty[$, integrable at infinity. Nous prouvons un encadrement optimal pour la quantit\'e$H(x,s)=\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{1}{(x+n)^s}$pour$x\geq 0$et$s>1$, qui am\'eliore l'encadrement standard par des int\'egrales. Cet encadrement entra{\^\i}ne des in\'egalit\'es sur la fonction$\zeta$de Riemann, et am\ene \a conjecturer la monotonie de la fonction$s\mapsto[(s-1)\zeta(s)]^{\frac{1}{s-1}}$.

Enfin, nous prouvons qu'une partie du r\'esultat se g\'en\'eralise \a une classe de fonctions convexes positives d\'ecroissantes.

Inequalities for rational functions with prescribed poles This paper considers the rational system${\cal P}_n (a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n):= \bigl\{ {P(x) \over \prod_{k=1}^n (x-a_k)}, P\in {\cal P}_n\bigr\}$with nonreal elements in$\{a_k\}_{k=1}^{n}\subset\Bbb{C}\setminus [-1,1]$paired by complex conjugation. It gives a sharp (to constant) Markov-type inequality for real rational functions in${\cal P}_n (a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)$. The corresponding Markov-type inequality for high derivatives is established, as well as Nikolskii-type inequalities. Some sharp Markov- and Bernstein-type inequalities with curved majorants for rational functions in${\cal P}_n(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)$are obtained, which generalize some results for the classical polynomials. A sharp Schur-type inequality is also proved and plays a key role in the proofs of our main results.

CJM 1997 (vol 49 pp. 617) Stahl, Saul  On the zeros of some genus polynomials In the genus polynomial of the graph$G$, the coefficient of$x^k$is the number of distinct embeddings of the graph$G$on the oriented surface of genus$k\$. It is shown that for several infinite families of graphs all the zeros of the genus polynomial are real and negative. This implies that their coefficients, which constitute the genus distribution of the graph, are log concave and therefore also unimodal. The geometric distribution of the zeros of some of these polynomials is also investigated and some new genus polynomials are presented. Categories:05C10, 05A15, 30C15, 26C10
