Revisiting and extending a recent result of M.Huxley, we estimate the $L^{p}\left( \mathbb{T}^{d}\right) $ and Weak-$L^{p}\left( \mathbb{T}^{d}\right) $ norms of the discrepancy between the volume and the number of integer points in translated domains.
We consider operators of the form $L=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}^{2}+X_{0}$ in a bounded domain of R^p where X_0, X_1,...,X_n are nonsmooth Hörmander's vector fields of step r such that the highest order commutators are only Hölder continuous. Applying Levi's parametrix method we construct a local fundamental solution γ for L and provide growth estimates for γ and its first derivatives with respect to the vector fields. Requiring the existence of one more derivative of the coefficients we prove that γ also possesses second derivatives, and we deduce the local solvability of L, constructing, by means of γ, a solution to Lu=f with Hölder continuous f. We also prove $C_{X,loc}^{2,α}$ estimates on this solution.
We prove a version of Rothschild-Stein's theorem of lifting and approximation and some related results in the context of nonsmooth Hormander's vector fields for which the highest order commutators are only Holder continuous. The theory explicitly covers the case of one vector field having weight two while the others have weight one.
We study the error in quadrature rules on a compact manifold. As in the Koksma-Hlawka inequality, we consider a discrepancy of the sampling points and a generalized variation of the function. In particular, we give sharp quantitative estimates for quadrature rules of functions in Sobolev classes.
This paper contains an $L^{p}$ improving result for convolution operators defined by singular measures associated to hypersurfaces on the motion group. This needs only mild geometric properties of the surfaces, and it extends earlier results on Radon type transforms on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. The proof relies on the harmonic analysis on the motion group.
We consider a family of vector fields defined in some bounded domain of R^p, and we assume that they satisfy Hormander's rank condition of some step r, and that their coefficients have r-1 continuous derivatives. We extend to this nonsmooth context some results which are well-known for smooth Hormander's vector fields, namely: some basic properties of the distance induced by the vector fields, the doubling condition, Chow's connectivity theorem, and, under the stronger assumption that the coefficients belong to C^{r-1,1}, Poincare's inequality. By known results, these facts also imply a Sobolev embedding. All these tools allow to draw some consequences about second order differential operators modeled on these nonsmooth Hormander's vector fields.
We consider Fourier transforms of densities supported on curves in R^d. We obtain sharp lower and close to sharp upper bounds for the L^q decay rates.
We prove several variations on the results of Ricci and Travaglini concerning bounds for convolution with all rotations of a measure supported by a fixed convex curve in the plane. Estimates are obtained for averages over higher-dimensional convex hypersurfaces, smooth k-dimensional surfaces and non-translation invariant families of surfaces.
