Minimizing total variation

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a function of bounded variation. Define $\overline{f}(x)$ by $$\overline{f}(x) = \limsup_{\mu(I)\to 0} \frac{1}{\mu(I)} \int_I f(x) dx,$$ where $I$ ranges over ...

Elementary functions (growing faster than exponential ones) with elementary Legendre–Fenchel transforms

Let $F$ be the set of all convex functions $f\colon[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ with $f(0)=0=f'_+(0)$ and $f_+(\infty-)=\infty$, where $f'_+$ is the right derivative of $f$. For any function $f\in F$, its ...

Proofs of the second fundamental theorem of calculus

I am referring to the following version of the theorem, in the setting of the Lebesgue integral. Theorem Let $f: [a,b] \rightarrow \bf R$ be an everywhere differentiable function whose derivative is ...

system of Euler like ode's

I am interested in solving some linear elliptic system like $$ -\Delta \phi(x) + \frac{C_1 \psi(x)}{|x|^\beta} =f(x)$$ $$ -\Delta \psi(x) + \frac{C_2 \phi(x)}{|x|^\alpha} =g(x)$$ in $B_1$ (the ...

An alternative to the Euler--Maclaurin formula: Approximating sums by integrals only

The Euler--MacLaurin summation formula can be written as $$ \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} f(k)\approx \int^{n-1}_0f(x)\,dx + \frac{f(n-1) + f(0)}2 + \sum_{j=1}^m\frac{B_{2j}}{(2j)!}[f^{(2j - 1)}(n-1)...

Eigenvalues of the operator $A = -v'' + B(x) v$

How can I prove that for the eigenvalues of the operator $$A := -v'' + B(x) v$$ on $(0,L)$ with zero Dirichlet boundary condition it holds that $$ \left| \lambda_n - \frac{\pi^2n^2}{L^2}\right| \le ||...

Fourier transforms exhibiting symmetries about their critical points

Upon looking at the graphs of various Fourier sine and cosine transforms (ones without Dirac deltas in their domain) I've noticed a pattern that is probably already known, but that I thought would be ...

Asymptotic inverses and de Bruijn conjugates (etc.) for complex-valued functions

I recently got my hands on a copy of Regular Variation by Bingham, Goldie, and Teugels ("BGT"), and it's been an absolute revelation for my research. The thing is, my current work centers ...

Interpolation functional for BV spaces?

Recently, while trying to tackle a problem, I found that it would be convenient that I could find some sort of 'interpolation theorem' for Bounded Variation Spaces. More specifically, let's define, ...

Reference request for equivalent Lipschitz smoothness conditions

For an open set $Z\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, let $f: Z\mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be a continuously differentiable function on $Z$, and let $L>0$ be fixed. Also, suppose that (a) $f$ is nonconvex and (b) $f$ ...

Does $\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \left|c_m g(x)^{2m+1}\right|$ converge absolutely to an integrable function?

Consider the integral \begin{equation} \int_{0}^{t}J_1(f(t)-f(s))\mathop{ds}=\int_{0}^{t}\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} c_m (f(t)-f(s))^{2m+1}\mathop{ds}, \end{equation} such that $J_1$ is the Bessel function of ...

Feller semigroups and fractional operators

Have Feller semigroups been used to investigate the properties of the Cauchy problem associated with the fractional Laplacian (just like they have been used to study local degenerate second order ...
