Let $A$ be an expansive dilation on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\times [0,\infty )\rightarrow [0,\infty )$ an anisotropic growth function. In this article, the authors introduce the anisotropic weak Musielak–Orlicz Hardy space $\mathit{WH}_{A}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ via the nontangential grand maximal function and then obtain its Littlewood–Paley characterizations in terms of the anisotropic Lusin-area function, $g$-function or $g_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}^{\ast }$-function, respectively. All these characterizations for anisotropic weak Hardy spaces $\mathit{WH}_{A}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ (namely, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(x,t):=t^{p}$ for all $t\in [0,\infty )$ and $x\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $p\in (0,1]$) are new. Moreover, the range of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ in the anisotropic $g_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}^{\ast }$-function characterization of $\mathit{WH}_{A}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ coincides with the best known range of the $g_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}^{\ast }$-function characterization of classical Hardy space $H^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ or its weighted variants, where $p\in (0,1]$.

Let $s\in \mathbb{R}$ and $0<p\leqslant \infty$. The fractional Fock–Sobolev spaces $F_{\mathscr{R}}^{s,p}$ are introduced through the fractional radial derivatives $\mathscr{R}^{s/2}$. We describe explicitly the reproducing kernels for the fractional Fock–Sobolev spaces $F_{\mathscr{R}}^{s,2}$ and then get the pointwise size estimate of the reproducing kernels. By using the estimate, we prove that the fractional Fock–Sobolev spaces $F_{\mathscr{R}}^{s,p}$ are identified with the weighted Fock spaces $F_{s}^{p}$ that do not involve derivatives. So, the study on the Fock–Sobolev spaces is reduced to that on the weighted Fock spaces.

In this paper, some weighted vector-valued inequalities with multiple weights $A_{\vec P}$ (ℝmn)are established for a class of multilinear singular integral operators. The weighted estimates for the multi(sub)linear maximal operators which control the multilinear singular integral operators are also considered.

We define fractal interpolation on unbounded domains for a certain class of topological spaces and construct local fractal functions. In addition, we derive some properties of these local fractal functions, consider their tensor products, and give conditions for local fractal functions on unbounded domains to be elements of Bochner–Lebesgue spaces.

We consider boundedness of a certain positive dyadic operator

$$\begin{eqnarray}T^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}}:L^{p}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E};\ell ^{2})\rightarrow L^{p}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}),\end{eqnarray}$$

$L^{p}$

$T^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}}$

$p\in [2,\infty )$

We study the boundedness from $H^{p(\cdot )}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ into $L^{q(\cdot )}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ of certain generalized Riesz potentials and the boundedness from $H^{p(\cdot )}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ into $H^{q(\cdot )}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ of the Riesz potential, both results are achieved via the finite atomic decomposition developed in Cruz-Uribe and Wang [‘Variable Hardy spaces’, Indiana University Mathematics Journal63(2) (2014), 447–493].

We establish the bounds of Marcinkiewicz integrals associated to surfaces of revolution generated by two polynomial mappings on Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Besov spaces when their integral kernels are given by functions $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}\in H^{1}(\text{S}^{n-1})\cup L(\log ^{+}L)^{1/2}(\text{S}^{n-1})$. Our main results represent improvements as well as natural extensions of many previously known results.

Hardy space theory has been studied on manifolds or metric measure spaces equipped with either Gaussian or sub-Gaussian heat kernel behaviour. However, there are natural examples where one finds a mix of both behaviours (locally Gaussian and at infinity sub-Gaussian), in which case the previous theory does not apply. Still we define molecular and square function Hardy spaces using appropriate scaling, and we show that they agree with Lebesgue spaces in some range. Besides, counterexamples are given in this setting that the $H^{p}$ space corresponding to Gaussian estimates may not coincide with $L^{p}$ . As a motivation for this theory, we show that the Riesz transform maps our Hardy space $H^{1}$ into $L^{1}$ .

We provide an elementary method for exploring pricing problems of one spread options within a fractional Wick–Itô–Skorohod integral framework. Its underlying assets come from two different interactive markets that are modelled by two mixed fractional Black–Scholes models with Hurst parameters, $H_{1}\neq H_{2}$, where $1/2\leq H_{i}<1$ for $i=1,2$. Pricing formulae of these options with respect to strike price $K=0$ or $K\neq 0$ are given, and their application to the real market is examined.

In this paper, we show that singular integrals supported by subvarieties are bounded on $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n};\mathbf{X})$ for $1<p<\infty$ and some UMD space $\mathbf{X}$. In the terminology from operator space theory, we prove that singular integrals supported by subvarieties are completely $L^{p}$-bounded.

The goal of this paper is to characterize the operating functions on modulation spaces $M^{p,1}(\mathbb{R})$ and Wiener amalgam spaces $W^{p,1}(\mathbb{R})$. This characterization gives an affirmative answer to the open problem proposed by Bhimani (Composition Operators on Wiener amalgam Spaces, arXiv: 1503.01606) and Bhimani and Ratnakumar (J. Funct. Anal. 270 (2016), pp. 621–648).

A Littlewood–Paley operator associated with the reflection part of the Dunkl operator is introduced and proved to be of type $(p,p)$ for $1<p<\infty$, based on boundedness of a generalised vector-valued singular integral. This fills a gap for $2<p<\infty$ concerning the boundedness of a $g$-function in the Dunkl setting. The paper also supplies new proofs for $1<p<\infty$ on the $(p,p)$ boundedness of various $g$-functions associated with the Dunkl operator.

Collections of functions forming a partition of unity play an important role in analysis. In this paper we characterise for any $N\in \mathbb{N}$ the entire functions $P$ for which the partition of unity condition $\sum _{\mathbf{n}\in \mathbb{Z}^{d}}P(\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{n})\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{[0,N]^{d}}(\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{n})=1$ holds for all $\mathbf{x}\in \mathbb{R}^{d}.$ The general characterisation leads to various easy ways of constructing such entire functions as well. We demonstrate the flexibility of the approach by showing that additional properties like continuity or differentiability of the functions $(P\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{[0,N]^{d}})(\cdot +\mathbf{n})$ can be controlled. In particular, this leads to easy ways of constructing entire functions $P$ such that the functions in the partition of unity belong to the Feichtinger algebra.

We study a representation for the inverse transform of the generalised Fourier–Feynman transform on the function space $C_{a,b}[0,T]$ which is induced by a generalised Brownian motion process. To do this, we define a transform via the concept of the convolution product of functionals on $C_{a,b}[0,T]$. We establish that the composition of these transforms acts like an inverse generalised Fourier–Feynman transform and that the transforms are vector space automorphisms of a vector space ${\mathcal{E}}(C_{a,b}[0,T])$. The vector space ${\mathcal{E}}(C_{a,b}[0,T])$ consists of exponential-type functionals on $C_{a,b}[0,T]$.

Combinatorial discrepancy is a complexity measure of a collection of sets which quantifies how well the sets in the collection can be simultaneously balanced. More precisely, we are given an $n$-point set $P$, and a collection ${\mathcal{F}}=\{F_{1},\ldots ,F_{m}\}$ of subsets of $P$, and our goal is color $P$ with two colors, red and blue, so that the maximum over the $F_{i}$ of the absolute difference between the number of red elements and the number of blue elements (the discrepancy) is minimized. Combinatorial discrepancy has many applications in mathematics and computer science, including constructions of uniformly distributed point sets, and lower bounds for data structures and private data analysis algorithms. We investigate the combinatorial discrepancy of geometrically defined systems, in which $P$ is an $n$-point set in $d$-dimensional space, and ${\mathcal{F}}$ is the collection of subsets of $P$ induced by dilations and translations of a fixed convex polytope $B$. Such set systems include systems of sets induced by axis-aligned boxes, whose discrepancy is the subject of the well-known Tusnády problem. We prove new discrepancy upper and lower bounds for such set systems by extending the approach based on factorization norms previously used by the author, Matoušek, and Talwar. We also outline applications of our results to geometric discrepancy, data structure lower bounds, and differential privacy.

The paper is devoted to the study of Fefferman–Stein inequalities for stochastic integrals. If $X$ is a martingale, $Y$ is the stochastic integral, with respect to $X$, of some predictable process taking values in $[-1,1]$, then for any weight $W$ belonging to the class $A_{1}$ we have the estimates $\Vert Y_{\infty }\Vert _{L^{p}(W)}\leqslant 8pp^{\prime }[W]_{A_{1}}\Vert X_{\infty }\Vert _{L^{p}(W)},$$1<p<\infty ,$ and $\Vert Y_{\infty }\Vert _{L^{1,\infty }(W)}\leqslant c[W]_{A_{1}}(1+\log [W]_{A_{1}})\Vert X_{\infty }\Vert _{L^{1}(W)}.$ The proofs rest on the Bellman function method: the inequalities are deduced from the existence of certain special functions, enjoying appropriate majorization and concavity. As an application, related statements for Haar multipliers are indicated. The above estimates can be regarded as probabilistic counterparts of the recent results of Lerner, Ombrosi and Pérez concerning singular integral operators.

We prove bounds for the truncated directional Hilbert transform in $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ for any $1<p<\infty$ under a combination of a Lipschitz assumption and a lacunarity assumption. It is known that a lacunarity assumption alone is not sufficient to yield boundedness for $p=2$, and it is a major question in the field whether a Lipschitz assumption alone suffices, at least for some $p$.

We study the regularity properties of several classes of discrete maximal operators acting on $\text{BV}(\mathbb{Z})$ functions or $\ell ^{1}(\mathbb{Z})$ functions. We establish sharp bounds and continuity for the derivative of these discrete maximal functions, in both the centred and uncentred versions. As an immediate consequence, we obtain sharp bounds and continuity for the discrete fractional maximal operators from $\ell ^{1}(\mathbb{Z})$ to $\text{BV}(\mathbb{Z})$ .

Let $(X,d,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ be a metric measure space endowed with a distance $d$ and a nonnegative, Borel, doubling measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$. Let $L$ be a nonnegative self-adjoint operator on $L^{2}(X)$. Assume that the (heat) kernel associated to the semigroup $e^{-tL}$ satisfies a Gaussian upper bound. In this paper, we prove that for any $p\in (0,\infty )$ and $w\in A_{\infty }$, the weighted Hardy space $H_{L,S,w}^{p}(X)$ associated with $L$ in terms of the Lusin (area) function and the weighted Hardy space $H_{L,G,w}^{p}(X)$ associated with $L$ in terms of the Littlewood–Paley function coincide and their norms are equivalent. This improves a recent result of Duong et al. [‘A Littlewood–Paley type decomposition and weighted Hardy spaces associated with operators’, J. Geom. Anal.26 (2016), 1617–1646], who proved that $H_{L,S,w}^{p}(X)=H_{L,G,w}^{p}(X)$ for $p\in (0,1]$ and $w\in A_{\infty }$ by imposing an extra assumption of a Moser-type boundedness condition on $L$. Our result is new even in the unweighted setting, that is, when $w\equiv 1$.

In this paper we establish new optimal bounds for the derivative of some discrete maximal functions, in both the centred and uncentred versions. In particular, we solve a question originally posed by Bober et al. [‘On a discrete version of Tanaka’s theorem for maximal functions’, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.140 (2012), 1669–1680].
