Abstract

We investigate the Slepian spatiospectral localization problem within subdomains of the $d$-dimensional ball. Opposed to the more classical setups of the Euclidean space or the sphere, the ball lacks a standard or universally accepted definition of bandwidth. Here, we consider a Fourier-Jacobi function system, decoupling the spherical and radial contributions via spherical harmonics and Jacobi polynomials. Special cases of this setup are of interest for various inverse problems in geophysics and medical imaging, since they relate to the underlying non-uniqueness, as well as in optics, where they represent the widely used Zernike polynomials. Bandwidth can be prescribed separately for the spherical and the radial contributions, where the particular choice of coupling between the two contributions determines the spectral shape, i.e., the overall notion of bandlimit. Understanding the effects of the spectral shape on the eigenvalue distribution of the Slepian spatiospectral localization problem can provide hints on particularly suitable notions of bandwidth for different applications. We provide rigorous asymptotic results for the spectral shape being defined via the overall polynomial degree as well as for being defined via sequential limits for the spherical and radial contributions. For various other spectral shapes, we provide numerical illustrations of the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution. Furthermore, we demonstrate a direct connection of the spectral shape to common indexing schemes for Zernike polynomials.

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
