Boundedness of the differentiation operator in model spaces and application to Peller type inequalities

Given an inner function $Θ$ in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$, we study the boundedness of the differentiation operator which acts from from the model subspace $K\_Θ=\left(ΘH^{2}\right)^{\perp}$ of the Hardy space $H^{2},$ equiped with the $BMOA$-norm, to some radial-weighted Bergman space. As an application, we generalize Peller's inequality for Besov norms of rational functions $f$ of degree $n\geq1$ having no poles in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$.

Maximum of the resolvent over matrices with given spectrum

In numerical analysis it is often necessary to estimate the condition number $CN(T)=||T||_{} \cdot||T^{-1}||_{}$ and the norm of the resolvent $||(ζ-T)^{-1}||_{}$ of a given $n\times n$ matrix $T$. We derive new spectral estimates for these quantities and compute explicit matrices that achieve our bounds. We recover the well-known fact that the supremum of $CN(T)$ over all matrices with $||T||_{} \leq1$ and minimal absolute eigenvalue $r=\min_{i=1,...,n}|λ_{i}|>0$ is the Kronecker bound $\frac{1}{r^{n}}$. This result is subsequently generalized by computing the corresponding supremum of $||(ζ-T)^{-1}||_{}$ for any $|ζ| \leq1$. We find that the supremum is attained by a triangular Toeplitz matrix. This provides a simple class of structured matrices on which condition numbers and resolvent norm bounds can be studied numerically. The occuring Toeplitz matrices are so-called model matrices, i.e. matrix representations of the compressed backward shift operator on the Hardy space $H_2$ to a finite-dimensional invariant subspace.

A model space approach to some classical inequalities for rational functions

We consider the set \mathcal{R}_{n} of rational functions of degree at most n\geq1 with no poles on the unit circle \mathbb{T} and its subclass \mathcal{R}_{n,\, r} consisting of rational functions without poles in the annulus \left\{ξ:\; r\leq|ξ|\leq\frac{1}{r}\right\}. We discuss an approach based on the model space theory which brings some integral representations for functions in \mathcal{R}_{n} and their derivatives. Using this approach we obtain L^{p}-analogs of several classical inequalities for rational functions including the inequalities by P. Borwein and T. Erdélyi, the Spijker Lemma and S.M. Nikolskii's inequalities. These inequalities are shown to be asymptotically sharp as n tends to infinity and the poles of the rational functions approach the unit circle \mathbb{T}.

Décomposition effective de Jordan-Chevalley et ses retombées en enseignement

The purpose of this paper is to point the effectiveness of the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition, i.e. the decomposition of a square matrix $U$ with coefficients in a field $k$ containing the eigenvalues of $U$ as a sum $U=D+N,$ where $D$ is a diagonalizable matrix and $N$ a nilpotent matrix which commutes with $D.$ The most general version of this decomposition shows that every separable element $u$ of a $k$-algebra $A$ can be written in a unique way as a sum $u=d+n,$ where $d \in A$ is absolutely semi-simple and where $n\in A$ is nilpotent and commutes with $d.$ In fact an algorithm, due to C. Chevalley, allows to compute this decomposition: this algorithm is an adaptation to this context of the Newton method, which gives here the exact value of the absolutely semi-simple part $d$ of $u$ after a finite number of iterations. We illustrate the effectiveness of this method by computing the decomposition of a $15 \times 15$ matrix having eigenvalues of multiplicity 3 which are not computable exactly. We also discuss the other classical method, based on the chinese remainder theorem, which gives the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition under the form $u=q(u) +[u-q(u)],$ with $q(u)$ absolutely semi-simple, $u-q(u)$ nilpotent, where $q$ is any solution of a system of congruence equations related to the roots of a polynomial $p\in k[x]$ such that $p(u)=0.$ It is indeed possible to compute $q$ without knowing the roots of $p$ by applying the algorithm discussed above to $π(x),$ where $π: k[x] \to k[x]/pk[x]$ is the canonical surjection. We obtain this way after 2 iterations the polynomial $q$ of degree 14 associated to the $15\times 15$ matrix mentioned above. We justify by historical considerations the use of the name "Jordan-Chevalley decomposition", instead of the name "Dunford decomposition" which also appears in the literature, and we discuss multiplicative versions of this decomposition in semi-simple Lie groups. We conclude this paper showing why this decomposition should play a central role in a linear algebra course, even at a rather elementary level. Our arguments are based on a teaching experience of more than 10 years in an engineering school located on the Basque Coast.

Effective H^{\infty} interpolation

Given a finite set σof the unit disc \mathbb{D}={z\in\mathbb{C}:, |z|<1} and a holomorphic function f in \mathbb{D} which belongs to a class X, we are looking for a function g in another class Y (smaller than X) which minimizes the norm |g|_{Y} among all functions g such that g_{|σ}=f_{|σ}.

A Bernstein-type inequality for rational functions in weighted Bergman spaces

Given $n\geq1$ and $r\in[0, 1),$ we consider the set $\mathcal{R}_{n, r}$ of rational functions having at most $n$ poles all outside of $\frac{1}{r}\mathbb{D},$ were $\mathbb{D}$ is the unit disc of the complex plane. We give an asymptotically sharp Bernstein-type inequality for functions in $\mathcal{R}_{n, r}\:$ (as n tends to infinity and r tends to 1-) in weighted Bergman spaces with "polynomially" decreasing weights. We also prove that this result can not be extended to weighted Bergman spaces with "super-polynomially" decreasing weights.

Sharpening a result by E.B. Davies and B. Simon

E. B. Davies et B. Simon have shown (among other things) the following result: if T is an n\times n matrix such that its spectrum σ(T) is included in the open unit disc \mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\,|z|<1\} and if C=sup_{k\geq0}||T^{k}||_{E\rightarrow E}, where E stands for \mathbb{C}^{n} endowed with a certain norm |.|, then ||R(1,\, T)||_{E\rightarrow E}\leq C(3n/dist(1,\,σ(T)))^{3/2} where R(λ,\, T) stands for the resolvent of T at point λ. Here, we improve this inequality showing that under the same hypotheses (on the matrix T), ||R(λ,\, T)|| \leq C(5π/3+2\sqrt{2})n^{3/2}/dist(λ,\,σ), for all λ\notinσ(T) such that |λ|\geq1.

Interpolation avec contraintes sur des ensembles finis du disque

Given a finite set σof the unit disc \mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:,\,| z|<1\} and a holomorphic function f in \mathbb{D} which belongs to a class X, we are looking for a function g in another class Y (smaller than X) which minimizes the norm ||g||_{Y} among all functions g such that g_{|σ}=f_{|σ}. For Y=H^{\infty}, and for the corresponding interpolation constant c(σ,\, X,\, H^{\infty}), we show that c(σ,\, X,\, H^{\infty})\leq aϕ_{X}(1-\frac{1-r}{n}) where n=#σ, r=max_{λ\inσ}|λ| and where ϕ_{X}(t) stands for the norm of the evaluation functional f\mapsto f(λ) on the space X. The upper bound is sharp over sets σwith given n and r.

Toeplitz condition numbers as an $H^{\infty}$ interpolation problem

The condition numbers $CN(T)==||T|| .||T^{-1}|| $ of Toeplitz and analytic $n\times n$ matrices $T$ are studied. It is shown that the supremum of $CN(T)$ over all such matrices with $||T|| \leq1$ and the given minimum of eigenvalues $r=min_{i=1..n}|λ_{i}|>0$ behaves as the corresponding supremum over all $n\times n$ matrices (i.e., as $\frac{1}{r{}^{n}}$ (Kronecker)), and this equivalence is uniform in $n$ and $r$. The proof is based on a use of the Sarason-Sz.Nagy-Foias commutant lifting theorem.

Effective H^{\infty} interpolation constrained by Hardy and Bergman weighted norms

Given a finite set $σ$ of the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and a holomorphic function $f$ in $\mathbb{D}$ which belongs to a class $X$ we are looking for a function $g$ in another class $Y$ which minimizes the norm $|g|_{Y}$ among all functions $g$ such that $g_{|σ}=f_{|σ}$. Generally speaking, the interpolation constant considered is $c(σ,\, X,\, Y)={sup}{}_{f\in X,\,\parallel f\parallel_{X}\leq1}{inf}\{|g|_{Y}:\, g_{|σ}=f_{|σ}\} \,.$ When $Y=H^{\infty}$, our interpolation problem includes those of Nevanlinna-Pick (1916), Caratheodory-Schur (1908). Moreover, Carleson's free interpolation (1958) has also an interpretation in terms of our constant $c(σ,\, X,\, H^{\infty})$.} If $X$ is a Hilbert space belonging to the scale of Hardy and Bergman weighted spaces, we show that $c(σ,\, X,\, H^{\infty})\leq aϕ_{X}(1-\frac{1-r}{n})$ where $n=#σ$, $r={max}{}_{λ\inσ}|λ|$ and where $ϕ_{X}(t)$ stands for the norm of the evaluation functional $f\mapsto f(t)$ on the space $X$. The upper bound is sharp over sets $σ$ with given $n$ and $r$.} If $X$ is a general Hardy-Sobolev space or a general weighted Bergman space (not necessarily of Hilbert type), we also found upper and lower bounds for $c(σ,\, X,\, H^{\infty})$ (sometimes for special sets $σ$) but with some gaps between these bounds.} This constrained interpolation is motivated by some applications in matrix analysis and in operator theory.}
