Abstract

Various kinds of Stieltjes integrals using gauge integration have become highly popular in the field of differential equations and other applications. In the theories of integration and of ordinary differential equations, convergence theorems provide one of the most widely used tools. The Harnack extension principle, which discusses a sufficient condition for Kurzweil-Henstock integrable functions on particular subsets of $(a,b)$ to be integrable on $[a,b]$, is a key step to supply convergence theorems. The Kurzweil-Stieltjes integral reduces to the Kurzweil-Henstock integral whenever the integrator is an identity function. In general, if the integrator $F$ is discontinuous on $[c,d]\subset[a,b]$, then the values of the Kurzweil-Stieltjes integrals $$\int_c^d[dF]g,\ \int_{[c,d]}[dF]g,\ \int_{[c,d)}[dF]g,\ \int_{(c,d]}[dF]g,\ {\rm and}\ \int_{(c,d)}[dF]g$$ need not coincide. Hence, the Harnack extension principle in the Kurzweil-Henstock integral cannot be valid any longer for the Kurzweil-type Stieltjes integrals with discontinuous integrators. The new concepts of equi-integrability and equiregulatedness are pivotal to the notion of the Harnack extension principle for the Kurzweil-Stieltjes integration. Moreover, the existence of the integral $\int_a^b[dF]g$ does not (even in the case of the identity integrator) always imply the existence of the integral $\int_{T}[dF]g$ for every subset $T$ of $[a,b]$. This follows from the well-known fact that, if e.g., $T\subset[a,b]$ is not measurable, then the existence of the Lebesgue integral $\int_a^b g [dt]$ does not imply that the integral $\int_T g [dt]$ exists. Therefore, besides constructing the Harnack extension principle for the abstract Kurzweil-Stieltjes integral, the aim of this paper is also to demonstrate its role in guaranteeing the existence of the integrals $\int_{T}[dF]g$ for arbitrary subsets $T$ of an elementary set $E$.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
