Bounds for Orthogonal Expansion Coefficients via Weighted Primitives

Abstract

For trigonometric and polynomial orthogonal expansions, we present coefficient bounds with an explicit numerator determined by the total variation of the function and the largest cumulative signed area of the weighted basis element. This area, denoted by $M_n$, is the sharp constant in the corresponding weighted integral estimate. We calculate or bound $M_n$ for several classical systems, thereby obtaining quantitative inequalities beyond an asymptotic statement of coefficient decay. Integration between consecutive zeros gives a geometric interpretation of the estimate. The comparison includes Chebyshev polynomials of the first three kinds, Legendre, Jacobi, Gegenbauer, and ordinary Laguerre polynomials, with normalization and boundary conditions stated explicitly. Classical estimates and their elementary consequences are organized as Fourier analysis in inequalities. In the controlled distortion application, ideal curves have selected coefficients absent, and restrictions on the variation, corridor width, and number of extrema of admissible departures give explicit guarantees for those coefficients.

Attainable forms of lower spectra

Let $d\in\mathbb{N}$ and $φ\colon(0,1)\to[0,d]$. We prove there exists a set $F\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ whose lower spectrum $\operatorname{dim}^θ_{\mathrm{L}} F$ satisfies $(1-θ)\operatorname{dim}^θ_{\mathrm{L}} F = φ(θ)$ for all $θ\in(0,1)$ if and only if for all $λ,θ\in(0,1)$, \begin{equation*} φ(θ) \leq φ(λθ) - θφ(λ) \leq (1-θ) d. \end{equation*} We also obtain a similar classification result for $\underline{\operatorname{dim}}^θ_{\mathrm{L}} F$. In contrast to the case for Assouad spectra, it is insufficient to consider homogeneous (or uniform) sets. Instead, we follow the approach introduced by Orgoványi--Rutar in arXiv:2510.07013 and proceed via a more general classification result for appropriate two-scale branching functions.

A $Tb$ type theorem for suppressed kernels

In this article, a non-homogeneous $Tb$ type theorem for arbitrary dimensional Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators is proved. This is an extension of an analogous non-homogeneous $Tb$ theorem for the Cauchy transform, in the planar setting, due to Nazarov, Treil and Volberg. The novelties of the present work are the change of dimension and the fact that the operators to which the theorem applies are not necessarily antisymmetric. The techniques used in the proof include, among others, suppressed kernels, decompositions in $L^2(μ)$, where $μ$ is a Radon measure in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and a probabilistic argument resulting from taking averages of the operators involved.

Sparse domination modulo polynomials

We develop a sparse domination theory that captures both local polynomial approximation and cancellation of the input below the scale of each sparse cube. Its coefficients are percentiles of localized smooth maximal functions of the input minus its local polynomial approximation, combining features of mean-oscillation sparse bounds and of the cancellative sparse bounds of Conde-Alonso, Lorist and Rey. Using wavelet representations, we characterize the Calderón-Zygmund operators whose derivatives admit these bounds by explicit polynomial testing conditions. In the homogeneous setting, the same conditions characterize weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequalities with linear dependence on the $A_\infty$ characteristic. This quantitative dependence detects the transition from BMO to $L^\infty$ testing conditions that Lerner found for pointwise bounds by Riesz potentials, a distinction that qualitative weighted estimates cannot recover. In the inhomogeneous setting, we prove corresponding weighted inequalities and show that they are strictly weaker than pointwise sparse domination from the second derivative order onward. Consequences include Hardy-Sobolev estimates below the Banach range, sharp weighted Sobolev inequalities, and pointwise bounds by Riesz potentials.
