Comments on the Bellman functional for linear time-delay systems

In this note, we present some complementary results on the infinite horizon optimal control for linear time-delay systems. We formally establish some properties of the matrices arising in the Bellman functional, and we prove that no concentrated delay term is present in the optimal control law.

Nonlinear potentials and two weight trace inequalities for general dyadic and radial kernels

We study trace inequalities of the type $$ \| T_k f\|_{L^q(dμ)}\leq C \|f\|_{L^p(dσ)}, \qquad f \in L^p(dσ), $$ in the ``upper triangle case'' $1 \leq q<p$ for integral operators $T_k$ with positive kernels, where $dσ$ and $dμ$ are positive Borel measures on $\R^n$. Our main tool is a generalization of Th. Wolff's inequality which gives two-sided estimates of the energy ${\mathcal E}_{k, σ} [μ]=\int_{\R^n} (T_k [μ])^{p'} d σ$ through the $L^1(dμ)$-norm of an appropriate nonlinear potential $W_{k, σ}[μ]$ associated with the kernel $k$ and measures $dμ$, $d σ$. We initially work with a dyadic integral operator with kernel $K_{\mathcal D}(x, y) = \sum_{Q\in{\mathcal D}} K(Q) χ_Q(x) χ_Q(y)$, where $\mathcal D=\{Q\}$ is the family of all dyadic cubes in $\R^n$, and $K: {\mathcal D}\to \R^+$. The corresponding continuous versions of Wolff's inequality and trace inequalities are derived from their dyadic counterparts.
