Abstract

Let $\{W_i\}_{i\in I}$ be a (redundant) sequence of subspaces each being endowed with a weight $v_i$, and let $\mathcal{H}$ be the closed linear span of the $W_i$'s, a composite Hilbert space. Provided that $\{(W_i,v_i)\}_{i \in I}$ satisfies a certain property which controls the weighted overlaps of the subspaces, it is called a {\em fusion frame}. These systems contain conventional frames as a special case, however they go far ``beyond frame theory''. In case each subspace $W_i$ is equipped with a frame system $\{f_{ij}\}_{j \in J_i}$ by which it is spanned, we refer to $\{(W_i,v_i,\{f_{ij}\}_{j \in J_i})\}_{i \in I}$ as a {\em fusion frame system}. In this paper, we describe a weighted and distributed processing procedure that fuse together information in all subspaces $W_i$ of a fusion frame system to obtain the global information in $\mathcal{H}$. The weighted and distributed processing technique described in fusion frames is not only a natural fit in distributed processing systems such as sensor networks, but also an efficient scheme for parallel processing of very large frame systems. We further provide an extensive study of the robustness of fusion frame systems.

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.
