Operator norm of linear functional $\varphi \mapsto \int_\Omega f\varphi$ with respect to different norms

Let $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be open. For some $f \in L^2(\Omega)$ consider the continuous linear functional $$T \colon C^\infty_c(\Omega) \to \mathbb{R}, \qquad T(\varphi) := \int_\Omega f \...

Multiplication of a Riesz basis

Let ${(\phi_n(.),\psi_n(.))}_{n\geq 1}$ be a Riesz basis in $H^1_0(0,1) \times L^2(0,1)$. My question is the following: If we multiply the basis by the matrix $e^{Mx}$, $x \in (0,1)$ where $M$ is a ...

Example when Kantorovich condition would not hold

Let $K \in M_+(R_+^2), f \in M_+(R_+)$. Consider operator $$ (T_k)(x)=\int_{R_+}K(x,y)f(y)dy, \quad y\in R_+. $$ Denote by $f^*(t)=\inf\{\lambda>0: \alpha x \in R_+: \mu_f(y)>\lambda\}$ the non-...

Inequality for fractional power norm (sectorial operators)

How could we prove following inequality: $\int\limits_{0}^{l} u^{3}(x) dx \leq \sqrt{l} \cdot|| u||_{\frac{1}{2}}^{3}$ where $ || u ||_{\frac{1}{2}} = ||A^{\frac{1}{2}}(u)||_{L^{2}} + || u ||_{L^{...
